Su Yue didn't care that Rendong didn't follow her. She walked to a house in the backyard by herself. She didn't know if the servants were careless, but the door was not locked.

As soon as Su Yue opened the door, what caught her eye was a sack full of food. She walked closer and took a look, and saw that the sacks contained not only a large amount of rice and flour, but also mung beans, soybeans, sesame seeds, and a lot of red and white sugar.

Su Yue thought that these beans and sugars should be used to make cakes. She collected them while thinking. When she walked in, she found a row of wooden shelves in the corner, on which were placed precious ingredients such as bird's nests, shark fins, fish maws, etc.

Su Yue was delighted. She didn't expect there were such good things in this place. She put them all into the space without hesitation.

After cleaning up the kitchen warehouse, Su Yue returned to the kitchen, but heard a banging noise coming from inside.

Her heart tightened, thinking that the guards had found out and were fighting with Honeysuckle.

She opened the door suddenly and saw Rendong holding an unconscious old woman and slapping her left and right. She might be so engrossed in the beating that she didn't hear the door open.

At this time, Ren Dong was still cursing while beating me: "You are the unlucky old woman. I told you to order me around and bully me. I will knock all your teeth out and see if you will continue to spit shit in the future!"

The other old women and maids lying next to Rendong also had bruises of varying sizes on their faces. They all had one thing in common: their faces were swollen and blood was flowing from the corners of their mouths.

Su Yue couldn't help but twitch her lips when she saw this scene. She didn't know whether she should wait for Rendong to vent her anger, or tell Rendong to stop and leave quickly.

Su Yue thought for a moment and decided to let Rendong vent her anger first.

After all, Rendong had suffered a lot of grievances in the Su family these days. She stood quietly by and watched Rendong continue to beat and scold the old woman.

After a while, Rendong seemed to be tired. She stopped what she was doing and sat on the ground to rest, panting. At this time, the old woman was unrecognizable and blood was constantly flowing out of her mouth.

When Ren Dong turned around inadvertently, she saw Su Yue looking at her with a smile. She felt a little embarrassed for a moment, "Girl..."

Honeysuckle was upset. Would the girl think she was too cruel?

Su Yue walked forward, gently pulled up Ren Dong, and said, "Okay, now that we've let out the anger, we should leave. The people in the Su family may wake up at any time, so we can't stay here for long."

Rendong felt relieved to see that Su Yue didn't dislike her. She nodded and stood up, the anger on her face having faded a lot.

The two quickly left the kitchen and flew towards the peony garden where Su Yuanwang and Zhou Ruoxue lived.

Su Yue's martial arts skills were very good and she was not discovered by the patrolling guards or the cleaning maid.

When Su Yue and Ren Dong arrived on the roof of the Peony Garden, they saw that there was not a single maid in the garden. Although it was strange, it was really God's help for them.

Su Yue and Ren Dong took the opportunity to enter the house, only to find that it was decorated extremely luxuriously with all kinds of precious ornaments and furniture.

Su Yue also knew that these things were most likely the dowry of the original owner's mother. When the dowry was lost, Zhou Ruoxue did not dare to take these things out, because these dowries were in Zhou Ruoxue's house, and they were also evidence of using the original owner's mother's dowry.

Honeysuckle exclaimed quietly, "Girl, the items in this room are so beautiful. They must be worth a lot of money."

Su Yue patted Rendong's shoulder and said, "Of course they are valuable. These are my mother's things. My mother's things must be good." After that, she began to quickly put the valuable items in the house into the space.

After being surprised, Honeysuckle also hurried to help. The two of them moved quickly and soon they had cleared out all the jewelry, antiques, calligraphy and paintings in the house.

When Su Yue saw the huge wardrobe in the house, a sly smile appeared on the corner of her mouth. She opened the wardrobe and put all the clothes inside into the space without leaving any.

Seeing this, Honeysuckle asked in confusion, "Girl, why don't you put the whole wardrobe away?"

Su Yue shook her index finger, "You have to leave some memories for others."

When Su Yue was about to close the wardrobe after she finished speaking, she found a wooden board of a slightly different color under the wardrobe. She immediately suspected that there was a secret compartment in the wardrobe.

Su Yue called Rendong and broke the wooden board of different color. Then they saw a thick stack of banknotes, various land deeds and indentures inside.

Honeysuckle exclaimed, "What a lot of banknotes! I didn't expect the Madam to have so much personal money."

Su Yue's eyes lit up. She took out three silver notes worth one thousand taels and stuffed them into Rendong's pocket. She quickly put the remaining silver notes, land deeds and indenture contracts into the space. She secretly rejoiced in her heart that this time the harvest was really not small.

Rendong, who hadn't reacted yet, thought that Su Yue was giving these banknotes to her for safekeeping.

She stuffed the banknotes back into Su Yue's pocket and said nervously, "Miss, you should keep them for yourself. It's not safe to keep them on me. If I lose them by accident, I won't be able to afford the compensation even if I sell them."

Su Yue looked at Ren Dong's nervous look, smiled and said, "Silly girl, this banknote is not for you to keep, it's for you. You have suffered a lot following me these days. Now that I have become a wealthy man, how can I miss your share?"

Honeysuckle's eyes widened in disbelief, and then her eyes turned red, and she choked up and said, "Miss, this is three thousand taels. How can I be worthy of such a reward? I am following you not for the money, but just to serve you wholeheartedly."

Su Yue gently patted Ren Dong's shoulder and said, "I know you are loyal, so please accept this banknote. We still have a long way to go.

With this money, you can also buy more supplies and store them, so that your family can live better. Not only you, I have also prepared some for Madam Yang."

Rendong hesitated for a moment, but for the sake of her family's future, she finally accepted the banknote and put it carefully in her arms.

"Thank you young lady! I will shamelessly accept it."

After saying this, Honeysuckle secretly swore in her heart that she would serve the girl more wholeheartedly in the future and live up to the girl's reward.

Just as they were about to leave, they suddenly heard footsteps coming from outside. Su Yue and Ren Dong felt nervous and quickly hid behind the screen.

The footsteps were getting closer, and a maid's voice rang out: "Strange, I seemed to hear some noise here just now, why is there no one here?"

Another maid said, "Maybe you heard it wrong. Forget it, let's go wash the clothes quickly. If Nanny Lin comes back and finds that the clothes are not washed yet, we will be scolded again."

"That's right, let's go!"

The footsteps of the maids gradually faded away, and Su Yue and Ren Dong breathed a sigh of relief.
