Su Huan avoided the layers of guards outside the warehouse and arrived at the warehouse door.

She saw a big lock hanging on the door, took out a thin golden hairpin, inserted it into the keyhole, turned it, and gently picked it, and the lock popped open instantly.

Opening this kind of lock is a piece of cake for Su Huan.

Entering the warehouse, it is a spacious place with three rooms connected.

Without any hesitation, she cleared out all the things in the warehouse and put them all into the space.

I have to say that the Prime Minister’s treasury is really rich.

Next, it’s Zhu’s private vault.

However, according to what she learned from Yunshuang, all the income and money accounts from outside were moved to this warehouse and were not moved to Zhu's Jinhuaxuan.

It seems that the only possibility is that there is a hidden dark room in this warehouse.

Su Huan started to explore without hesitation, looking for mechanisms and opening secret rooms. She was well prepared for this.

Soon, she found the key on the innermost wall. She pressed hard and the wall dented.

Then, a door appeared on the ground in the corner of the warehouse.

Su Huan went down the stairs. There were fire starters and candlesticks next to the entrance. Su Huan lit the candles on them.

Light up this dark underground room.

Under the candlelight, there were several opened boxes filled with piles of gold, silver and jewelry, which were dazzling, and there were still many boxes that had not been opened.

Su Huan opened a few of them at random, and found them full of gold and silver jewelry.

Over there are several shelves, each containing antique jade, agate and jadeite.

There are also several very delicately painted jewelry boxes.

The storage in this warehouse underground is even richer than that in the warehouse on the ground.

Su Huan opened the two jewelry boxes nearby and saw the things inside. She snorted coldly. These were the dowry of the original owner's mother.

Undoubtedly, this should be the private vault set up by the Zhu family.

According to common sense, the private warehouse should be in one's own courtyard. Zhu was very thoughtful. She used the warehouse in the mansion as a cover and built an underground warehouse.

Su Huan didn't think much about it and started to take away everything here, leaving nothing behind.

After collecting everything, Su Huan came out the same way and locked the warehouse again.

Leave this place without leaving a trace.

However, as soon as Su Huan left the warehouse of the Prime Minister's Mansion, she heard several passing maids whispering.

"Just now I saw Madam hurriedly going to the old lady's courtyard. It seemed that something happened."

"Shh, let's not talk nonsense." An older maid said in a low voice.

There was a younger one who was full of curiosity, "Sister, do you know something? Tell us, we won't say anything."

The two little maids next to them also echoed.

The older maid glanced around and said in a very low voice, "I don't know much either. I just heard in the Madam's courtyard that the eldest lady left the birthday banquet of the eldest princess Zhaohua and was on her way back to the city when something happened. The coachman died, and the eldest lady and her personal maid disappeared."

"what--"

"Keep your voice down, you want to be punished." Seeing their surprised reaction, the older maid scolded in a deep voice.

The little maids quickly covered their mouths and dared not say a word.

"Alright, alright, we are slaves, and it is not our turn to worry about our masters' affairs. Remember, before there is any confirmed news, keep your mouth shut."

The maids all nodded and followed behind to do their errands.

Su Huan thought for a moment and decided not to leave in a hurry. She quietly sneaked into Fuxitang.

She hid outside and listened to what was happening inside.

inside the house.

Zhu asked the old lady, "Old lady, what happened to the people in the Hidden Killing Tower? They just left the groom's body there. Where are Su Huan and her maid?"

Madam Su calmly drank her tea and said, "Since it was Prince Jing who discovered it first, you just need to follow the rules and inform the prefect of Jingzhao Prefecture. You are the mistress of the Xiangfu Mansion, how to deal with it? Do you need me to teach you?"

Zhu: "Madam, I understand, but I haven't seen Su Huan's body. I'm worried..."

Madam Su: "What do you think is the chance that Hidden Killing Tower will fail in getting rid of that yellow-haired girl Su Huan?"

Zhu: "The old lady's arrangement is of course safe and sound. I was worrying too much. I will handle this matter and have Jingzhao Prefecture conduct a thorough investigation."

Madam Su: "Go ahead."

Zhu Fu retreated.

Madam Xu stood by, watching the lady's back as she walked out, and whispered, "Madam, could it be that the assassins from Hidden Killing Tower have kidnapped the young lady and her maid? Could it be..."

Madam Su said coldly: "The Hidden Killing Tower never makes mistakes when doing things. If they can't complete this kind of mission, then they are not worthy of being assassins of the Hidden Killing Tower. Others may not know their abilities, but you and I don't know them, right?"

Nanny Xu nodded, but as the saying goes, if someone is alive, you want to see him in person; if he is dead, you want to see his body. Not being able to see the body made people worry.

At this time, Su Huan, who was eavesdropping outside, heard their entire conversation.

It is really ironic that the mastermind behind this assassination by the Hidden Killing Tower killers was actually this old lady Su.

Originally, I thought that Madam Su favored the children born to Zhu, and she just didn't love the original owner's granddaughter. No matter what, she would not kill her own granddaughter.

I didn't expect that Madam Su and Zhu are in the same boat.

If you think about it carefully, Zhu was very attentive in front of her, which showed that they had deep interests tied to each other behind the scenes.

It’s hard to say, but Madam Su knew everything about the last time the original owner fell into the lotus pond and drowned.

Oh, old fellow. In the eyes of outsiders, the old lady of the Prime Minister's Mansion has kind eyes and gentle features, but she is just a hypocrite with a snake heart and a Buddha's mouth. She promises to make sure that this old lady Su will lose her integrity in her later years.

One more is not too much, she will slowly settle the accounts.

Su Huan turned around and quietly arrived at her own Lanyue Pavilion, and reminded Nanny Xia not to panic about it.

Nanny Xia was worried because the young lady didn't come back so late. But when she saw the young lady now, she felt relieved and naturally tried her best to cooperate with the young lady's instructions.

Coincidentally, Aunt Liu came over.

Su Huan asked Nanny Xia to handle it, and she did not stay any longer and left the Prime Minister's Mansion quietly.

She went straight to the Shen Mansion, and when she arrived there, she entered through the back door.

Of course, she had changed out of her nightgown when she came and put on the clothes she had worn to the party during the day.

As soon as Yun Shuang saw her young lady, she trotted forward to greet her, "Young lady, you are finally here."

Su Huan comforted him, "Don't worry."

At that moment, the three brothers Shen Yanchu, Shen Yanshu and Shen Yanqing all looked at Su Huan in unison.

"Big brother, second brother, third brother, rest assured, I know my limits." Su Huan repeated, and then said with a smile: "Tomorrow, there will be a good show. The three brothers can enjoy the show."
