Rendong looked out the window with some excitement, looking at the gorgeous sunset clouds in the sky. She felt full of hope for the future after leaving the Su family.

Soon, the carriage arrived at the Broken Jade Pawnshop. Nanny Yang, Liu Cui, and Liu Xiaomei were already waiting at the door. When they saw Su Yue and Ren Dong getting off the carriage, they smiled with joy.

"Miss, you are finally back." Nanny Yang said with concern on her face.

Liu Cui and Liu Xiaomei also gathered around, chattering and asking about Rendong's current situation in the Su Mansion.

"Big sister, are you okay?"

"Sister, you and the girl didn't do anything, did you?"

"Okay, we can talk about these things later. Let the girl come in and have a rest first." Seeing that Su Yue's forehead was already covered with sweat, Nanny Yang stopped Liu Cui and Liu Xiaomei who were still chattering.

Su Yue nodded slightly, and walked into the Broken Jade Pawn Shop surrounded by the crowd, "Uncle Song, are you going to take care of the shop and the farm?"

Nanny Yang quickly replied, "Yes, we told Old Song about the matter when we arrived at the shop. When Old Song heard it, he immediately asked the clerk to drive the carriage to the intersection to wait for you. Then he also left the shop and said that he would settle the remaining shops and farms as soon as possible."

The waiter had already prepared two guest rooms for Madam Yang and the others. After Su Yue and the others entered one of the rooms, Madam Yang could not help but ask, "Miss, what should we do next? The Su Mansion must be in chaos right now."

Su Yue said calmly, "No matter how chaotic the Su family is, it has nothing to do with us. From now on, I will only live for myself. As for what to do next, let's go to Xiaohe Village when Uncle Song comes back."

When Nanny Yang saw Su Yue calmly saying that it had nothing to do with the Su family, she still felt sad for Su Yue in her heart, "Miss, the house in Xiaohe Village has not been built yet. This place is also good. Why don't we live here for a while."

Su Yue shook her head: "Let's go to Xiaohe Village. After all, Ren Dong is from Xiaohe Village, and her home is also there. I'm worried that the Su family will send someone to cause trouble for them."

After listening to Su Yue's words, Madam Yang nodded slightly and said, "Young lady, you have considered everything carefully. Then we will wait for Old Song to come back and go to Xiaohe Village as soon as possible."

Rendong, Liu Cui and Liu Xiaomei looked at each other. Although there was worry about the unknown in their eyes, there was more trust and gratitude towards Su Yue.

Honeysuckle said gratefully, "Thank you, girl. We will listen to you."

……

The Su family was in chaos just as Nanny Yang had said. The masters were unconscious, the courtyards of the young masters were all on fire for unknown reasons, and several main courtyards were completely looted...

The only conscious master of the Su family was Su Zexuan, because Su Zelin was knocked unconscious by the black smoke.

Faced with the chaos in the Su family, Su Zexuan had to quickly call the guards to put out the fires in the burning courtyards.

He also sent some maids to take care of the unconscious family members. When he learned that the palace doctor was also on the list of unconscious people, he had no choice but to send someone else to invite a doctor from outside.

Su Zexuan wanted to call the imperial physician, but he didn't have the token. Looking at the empty Songning Garden, he deeply suspected that even the token had been stolen by the bad guys.

He suddenly thought of Su Yue, so he quickly sent someone to Qingyou Garden to see if Su Yue was okay, but he learned that both Su Yue and her servants were not there, and only some second- and third-rank maids were left.

At this moment, Su Zexuan wished he could faint, but he regretted that he was sober now. "Can you send some more people to find out where the elder sister is?"

If Su Yue really disappeared at this critical moment, how should the Su family explain to Duke Li's Mansion?

The servants followed the order and went to look for Su Yue everywhere. However, how could they find her?

Su Zexuan paced anxiously in the mansion, with a lot of thoughts in his mind. He couldn't understand why Su Yue disappeared at this time.

Could it be that Su Yue was related to this chaos? But he felt that it was unlikely. Although Su Yue had changed a lot in the past few days, she would not do such a bold thing.

At this time, the people in the Su Mansion were in a panic. The servants were busy talking and speculating on the cause of the disaster.

Su Zexuan tried hard to maintain order in the mansion and waited for the doctor to arrive. He knew very well that only when his family members woke up would they know what happened.

After a long time, the doctor was finally called in. Su Zexuan first took the doctor to take Madam Su's pulse.

After taking Mrs. Su's pulse for a while, the doctor took out a bottle of ointment and placed it on the tip of Mrs. Su's nose, but after a while, Mrs. Su still did not wake up.

The doctor frowned, "It seems that the old lady has been drugged by a very strong drug. My ointment is only effective against ordinary drugs, and she will usually wake up soon."

Su Zexuan was extremely anxious when he heard this, "Doctor, what should we do?"

The doctor took a deep breath and said, "The only option is the second one. Let me give the old lady acupuncture. If she still doesn't wake up, then you can only seek help from someone else."

Su Zexuan didn't think about it and said bluntly: "Then I'll trouble you, doctor."

Seeing that Su Zexuan agreed, the doctor set out the tools and began to perform acupuncture on Madam Su.

Su Zexuan watched nervously from the side, not daring to breathe. As time passed, beads of sweat gradually oozed out of the doctor's forehead.

Finally, the doctor put away the silver needle. However, Madam Su still showed no signs of waking up. Su Zexuan's heart sank to the bottom, "Doctor, this..."

The doctor shook his head and said, "Sir, I have tried my best. The drug that the old lady was poisoned with is too strong. I am really powerless to help her. You should find someone else as soon as possible."

Su Zexuan looked solemn, he knew he couldn't waste any more time. He immediately sent people to invite all the doctors in the capital, and continued to maintain order in the mansion.

At this time, because there were several places above the Su Mansion where black smoke continued to rise, and many doctors were seen entering the Su Mansion one after another, it soon attracted the attention of the outside world, and some people with ulterior motives also began to inquire about the situation in the Su Mansion.

Soon, different versions of rumors about the Su family spread everywhere, such as the Su family was robbed, all the masters of the Su family were suffering from incurable diseases, the Su family offended the outlaws and were retaliated, etc.

At this time, Song Mingtao returned to the pawnshop with good news. Upon learning that Su Yue was resting in the room in the backyard, he immediately went to find Su Yue.

Song Mingtao came to the backyard room and knocked on the door gently. Su Yue's voice came from inside the house: "Come in."

Song Mingtao pushed the door open and saw Su Yue sitting at the table. He took out a banknote and a land deed and put them on the table next to Su Yue and said, "Miss, the shop and the farm have been sold, and all the money is here, a total of 25,600 taels.

I saw the young lady asked Madam Yang to bring them here. She must have to leave the Su family for a while because the house in Xiaohe Village has not been built yet.

This shop is the dowry of the girl's mother, and the Su family will probably come looking for us, so I took the initiative to buy a manor very close to Xiaohe Village. Although the manor is not big, it can accommodate several families."
