Su Qingwan had no idea what the family of three from the main house of the Marquis' Mansion said, but Aunt Rong came back soon, followed by the joyful Qing Da and others.

"Miss, the things we moved out were pawned for more than four thousand taels. Here is the banknote." Aunt Rong handed the banknote to Su Qingwan.

"Give this money to Qingda and let him distribute it to everyone. Aunt Rong, go to Tinglan Courtyard and ask my aunt when we will buy new things for Helin Courtyard."

Su Qingwan was very happy to do anything that could make the Marquis' Mansion bleed.

Upon hearing this, Jiang opened his mouth but said nothing.

"Okay, I'll go right away." Aunt Rong responded and walked towards Tinglan Courtyard quickly.

Qingda casually pointed at two people and asked them to follow Aunt Rong.

When Aunt Rong arrived at Tinglan Courtyard, Aunt Liu had just finished crying and her eyes were swollen like peaches. But when she heard that someone from the third house was coming, she immediately assumed the demeanor of the mistress of the family.

But Aunt Rong was not afraid at all. After coming in, she directly said what Su Qingwan said.

"You, you people from the third branch, still want to buy some new things?" Liu felt her blood boiling.

"Of course we have to buy some. We can't wait for our Third Master to come back and find that there isn't even a decent decoration in the courtyard. Madam, please arrange it quickly. I'll be back right away." Aunt Rong said this and left without even saying a word.

"Little bitch!" Liu cursed word by word, and finally she became so angry that she fainted.

There was an exclamation in the big room!

Su Yunrou said to Madam Zhou, "I saw that the two people who came with the old woman just now are new to the Marquis' Mansion. Go and talk to them. Double their current wages. I don't believe they will disobey mother's orders."

After responding, Nanny Zhou went out immediately.

Aunt Rong didn't care what Nanny Zhou wanted the two men to do and left on her own. These guys would tell the young lady about what happened when they came back.

Sure enough, after a while, the two boys came back and explained everything to Su Qingwan with a happy face.

"Just take the money if you have it. It's just as well that the gate doesn't need to be guarded so tightly now." Su Qingwan said with a smile.

Qingda and others immediately understood that if you have the money but don’t make it, you’d be a bastard!

The news that Su Qingwan was safe and sound quickly spread from Jingzhao Yin, and the families who had lost their young ladies became even more worried.

Su Qingwan is back, but where is her daughter?

In the prime minister's residence, Dong Qinshuang was even more furious.

"Brother, did that little bitch Su Qingwan do it on purpose? Was she not kidnapped at all?" Dong Qinshuang asked.

Dong Minde looked solemn. The top priority now was not Su Qingwan, but the women who were imprisoned.

"It seems that we have no choice but to let him go." Dong Minde said.

"Release them? Brother, are you so sure that they don't know who kidnapped them?" Dong Qinshuang asked worriedly.

If the people of Jingzhao Yin found out something from the mouths of those who were released, it would eventually implicate them.

"Then how do we do it according to your idea?" Dong Minde frowned.

"Only dead people don't talk much."

The people who were kidnapped were all insignificant women. So what if they died?

Dong Minde was not a good person either. In order to avoid leaving any evidence, killing those women was not necessarily a bad thing.

"I understand." Dong Minde said, then stood up and left.

But after taking only two steps, I saw my father walking towards me with a gloomy face.

"I've met my father!"

Dong Minde and Dong Qinshuang immediately stood up and saluted.

"Did you do it?" Dong Wenhai glanced at the two of them and asked directly.

Dong Qinshuang's heart skipped a beat. Did her father know about this? Then her grandfather might also know about it.

"No..." Dong Qinshuang had just said one word when she was frightened by Dong Wenhai's sharp eyes and dared not speak anymore.

Dong Minde knew he couldn't hide it from his father, so he had to tell him everything.

Dong Wenhai pinched his brows. He really didn't expect them to do such a thing.

"Where is the person being held?"

Dong Minde didn't dare to hide anything and could only tell the truth.

"Inside the Guandi Temple in Cuiliu Lane."

Dong Wenhai glanced at Dong Qinshuang and said, "Your grandfather is still in the palace. He doesn't know what happened today, so before your wedding with the crown prince, you'd better be quiet."

If he didn't have only this one legitimate daughter, he wouldn't have such a headache.

Dong Qinshuang agreed respectfully, but thinking about the people who were captured, she couldn't help but ask, "Father, what should we do with those women?"

"I'll take care of this matter, and you can just focus on embroidering your wedding dress."

Soon, Dong Wenhai took Dong Minde away.

The news of the missing woman in the capital spread more and more, and Li Yuncheng, who lived in Su Qingwan's house, naturally heard the news.

"Master, Fourth Miss Su said that those who intended to kidnap her are all imprisoned in Jingzhao Yin, and they are all ruffians. It is impossible for them to have the spare energy to kidnap other people." said the captain of the guards.

After he met Li Yuncheng, he reported to him what Su Qingwan had asked them to do, and even explained the three thousand taels of silver.

"It is impossible for an ordinary person to kidnap so many people in such a short period of time." Li Yuncheng pondered. He couldn't understand why only young women were kidnapped.

So far, Jingzhao Prefecture has received more than 30 cases of missing women, and all of them were unmarried women. More than half of them were daughters of officials in the capital, and there were also daughters of ordinary people.

"Send someone to check, especially look at places like the painted boats and prostitutes," Li Yuncheng ordered.

The captain of the guard took the order and left.

For a time, the capital city was filled with soldiers from government offices or people from various government offices looking for people.

After nightfall, the mansion became quiet, but the people in it did not rest.

Su Qingwan, Jiang and others were called to Madam Kang's yard.

Listening to the crying of her eldest aunt and second aunt, Su Qingwan covered her mouth with her hands and yawned without paying much attention.

When Jiang saw this, she quickly pulled her hand down. It’s already this time, and you’re still like this. Do you really want to piss off your two aunts to death?

Su Qingwan smiled at her mother. What else could they do now except scold her for being rude?

"Madam, look at her. She can still smile." Mrs. Liu pointed at Su Qingwan.

The three of them all looked at Su Qingwan. She knew that the three of them were making such a fuss tonight because they wanted her to hand over the silver bills she had pawned.

"Ms. Jiang, please take out the silver notes from the pawned items. Since you need to buy new things, just give the money to Ms. Liu and let her do it." Mrs. Kang said.

"Grandma Kang, my mother said that my father needs money a lot while he's away, and she has asked someone to send it to him." Su Qingwan said directly without blinking.
