Mrs. Kang's words made Liu hesitate, and she looked at her mother-in-law in confusion.

"Dealt with? What do you mean, mother?"

As soon as she asked this question, Liu was frightened by the old lady's sharp eyes.

"Stupid woman, what do you think this means? Can you really let them go?" Old Madam Kang said unhappily.

Liu lowered her head after being scolded, her heart was filled with turmoil. She never expected that the old lady was so cruel that she actually wanted to get rid of Su Qingwan and Su Yuewu.

However, these two people were not the old lady's biological grandchildren, so their death was a clean one. And after their death, only Jiang and Su Yuewen were left in the third house.

Su Yuewen has to study in the Imperial College, so Jiang will be alone there usually, so it will be much easier for her to control him.

"What are you still standing there for? Go quickly!" Seeing that Liu was still standing there like a wooden stake, Mrs. Kang became even angrier.

Even though this matter was caused by Su Yuejie, she knew that it must be the eldest daughter-in-law who said something to the child that made Yuejie do such a foolish thing, so Liu was the one who should be blamed.

Let's wait until this matter is over and see how she deals with Liu.

"Hey! I'll go right away." Liu quickly agreed and left without delay.

She couldn't handle this matter by herself, so she could only go to Su Yuejie.

On the roof, Xiaonian looked at Su Qingwan. They had heard what Madam Kang and Liu had just said. He couldn't help but worry about the young lady. After all, these two people were her relatives.

There was no expression of joy or anger on Su Qingwan's face. She looked very calm, as if she didn't think that the two people had just said anything excessive.

"Miss!" the young man called out in a young voice.

Su Qingwan looked at him and said, "Let's go to Helinyuan and have a look."

She didn't need to worry about Liu's arrangements at this moment. She just needed to watch the show for a while and bring Wu Ge'er back.

Xiaonian saw Su Qingwan going towards Helinyuan first, so he hurriedly followed.

Here, Aunt Rong was still busy asking the pawnshop staff to count the money. When Su Qingwan arrived, she heard Aunt Rong say that there were more than 10,000 taels of money now.

Not long after, Old Madam Kang came over. When she saw the commotion at Helin Courtyard, as if they were moving, her heart choked for a moment.

The Jiang family wants to sell out Helinyuan. If they sell things according to this standard, the whole family in the Marquis' Mansion will have to sleep in an empty house.

"Jiang, why don't you tell them to stop immediately?" the old lady shouted majestically.

The pawnshop manager felt something was wrong when he saw another person coming to stop him. He had been busy for so long, was he going to go back empty-handed?

Then, as if he hadn't heard anything, he said directly: "These are 15,000 taels in total. Let's settle these first."

"Okay!" Jiang agreed immediately.

Move all these things away quickly and make room for her favorite things.

When Mrs. Kang saw that Jiang ignored what she said, she really wanted to rush over and slap her to death.

"Stop it now!" she shouted again.

Immediately the old nanny beside her stepped forward to stop them, but Aunt Rong ignored her and directly pulled the head shopkeeper aside. Anyway, the valuation had been done, so now they could just sign the bill and get the money.

"Madam, do you have any idea? We can now collect 10,000 taels, plus the 30,000 taels from the Marquis' Mansion, we are still short of 60,000 taels!" Jiang said anxiously.

what's going on?

Are you really hoping that I can come up with money to rescue Su Qingwan and the other two? That’s wishful thinking!

Even if Su Qingwan was sold, she would not be worth one hundred thousand taels of silver.

"How can you rescue Qingwan and Yuewu when you are so panicked? I have sent people out to inquire. Just wait for the news." Mrs. Kang said.

She was extremely disgusted with Jiang, and since Su Qingwan and Su Yuewu were of no use to the Marquis' Mansion anyway, she just gave them up.

The bodies of the two will be discovered before dawn, and then Jiang will have a lot to cry about.

After hearing what the old lady said, Jiang said nothing more and just nodded.

The pawnshop's chief shopkeeper didn't have that much money on him, so he asked Aunt Rong to go with him to get the money. He also needed to bring a car to transport the things, so the two of them left directly.

Madam Kang didn't hear what the two said. She just thought that Jiang had given up on pawning the things and Aunt Rong was just going to see them off.

Helin Courtyard was in a mess and the old lady couldn't sit down, so she asked Jiang to go with her to the flower hall in front to wait.

Mrs. Liu, who had left, ordered people to look for her son, but Su Yuejie was not in his yard at the moment. After asking, she found out that he had gone out to drink, so she hurriedly sent people to look for him.

Su Qingwan saw that the show was almost over, so she took Xiaonian back to her own courtyard.

After entering the room, Xiao Nian asked, "Miss, do you want to wake up the Third Young Master?"

"No need." Su Qingwan said, "Let him sleep a little longer. Xiaonian, come and take a look at this thing. Do you recognize it?"

As she spoke, she took out the small bottle and poured it into the teacup.

Xiaonian's face suddenly changed when he looked at the things in the cup. He even pulled Su Qingwan back two steps, looking as if he was facing a great enemy.

"What's wrong? Is there anything wrong with this thing?" Su Qingwan asked.

Xiaonian's throat moved before he found his voice again, "Miss, this is spider insect poison."

"What?"

Su Qingwan had never heard of this thing and had no idea what Xiaonian was talking about.

"It's a kind of poisonous insect that survives by parasitizing others. The person or animal it parasitizes on will lose self-awareness and be controlled by the person. My master once said that this thing originated from Nan Miao, but the capital and Nan Miao are far apart. How could it appear here!" Xiaonian said.

Su Qingwan glanced at the spider insect poison in the cup again. It was motionless, without any movement. It was probably dead.

"I found this on the body of the man I rescued at the White Horse Temple. He was going crazy at the time, looking like a rabid dog. This thing was lying on his chest, and I took it out."

Hearing this, Xiao Nian looked at her in surprise, "Take it out? How do you take it out? People who are poisoned by a Gu must use the method of exorcism to get rid of it."

"Just make a hole and suck it out with a cup!" Su Qingwan said very easily.

Xiaonian: “…Is that person still alive?”

"He was still alive when I left, but now I don't know. Let's see."

As she spoke, Su Qingwan took the cup to the side room, where there was hot water. She poured the spider insect poison directly onto the charcoal fire, and it turned into ashes in an instant.

Then the two of them went to the man's room. Su Qingwan looked at the bed and found that the man was not dead.

Xiaonian naturally discovered that this person was still alive after the poisonous insect was taken out of him. How could this be possible?

"Okay, the person is still alive, let's go." Su Qingwan took Xiaonian outside again, but she was thinking: This person has been poisoned by a Gu. Are those mummies hanging behind the White Horse Temple also people who have been poisoned by Gu?
