Su Yue nodded gently and said, "Ren Dong, you haven't had the chance to give the silver I gave you yesterday to your father yet, right?
Go back today and tell them what I just said.
If you agree, I will go to your home and meet your family at 3:00 pm three days later. I need to discuss some things with them in person."
Madam Yang had a different idea. She reminded her, "Young lady, today is a time of great trouble. If Rendong goes back at this time, will it attract attention? In fact, I think that a few days later will not delay her much."
Su Yue pondered for a while and decided to let Rendong go back today because she had something else for Rendong's family to do and that matter could not be delayed.
After Su Yue finished explaining the matter, Ren Dong responded, "Don't worry, young lady. I will be careful."
Seeing that Su Yue had made up her mind, Nanny Yang said no more.
"Mammy, go and get me all my silver and all the jewelry that can be sold."
Nanny Yang followed instructions and went to get the silver and jewelry and handed them to Su Yue.
Su Yue opened her purse and saw that there were only ten taels of silver in it. She looked up at the small box of silver jewelry and was speechless.
"Mammy, don't tell me that this is all I have saved after all these years."
A trace of heartache flashed in Nanny Yang's eyes, "Young lady, the month before last was the eldest master's birthday, and you specially prepared a generous gift. Yesterday was the second young lady's coming-of-age ceremony, and you also spent a lot of money on the gifts. It's not easy to have these left on hand now.
As for these silver jewelry, it was because when the old lady gave the silver bracelet to you for the first time, you treated it like a treasure.
I don’t know how the news suddenly spread in the mansion, and everyone thought that the girl liked silver jewelry. So after that, the jewelry given by the old lady and the lady was made of silver. "
So that's how it is. Su Yue suddenly became curious about what kind of gifts the original owner had bought. These were not written in the book.
"Mammy, what gifts did I give to my father and my second sister?"
"The gift for the master was a very valuable inkstone, and the gift for the second young lady was a jade hairpin. Just these two gifts cost two hundred and fifty taels."
When mentioning the two hundred and fifty taels, Matron Yang felt even more distressed, because the two hundred and fifty taels were saved by the girl through her frugal life since she was a child.
It was all because of the third girl, Su Rou, who said in front of the girl that only a generous gift would show filial piety and sisterly love, so the girl, who originally planned to only give away the handkerchief she made, changed to a generous gift.
When Su Yue heard that it cost two hundred and fifty taels, her eyes widened. Two hundred and fifty taels was such an irony.
The original owner didn't have more than two hundred and fifty taels. Su Yuanwang and Su Yao treated the original owner so badly, but the original owner was willing to spend so much money to buy gifts for that group of scum.
If it were her turn, she would probably just give them two piles of dog shit.
The more Su Yue thought about it, the angrier she became. No, she decided to get back the 2 taels with interest. Why should those scum get it so easily?
As for how to get it back? Su Yue felt that she needed to think about it carefully, and now the business was more important.
Su Yue shook off the thoughts in her mind, took out the ten taels of silver from her purse and threw them into the jewelry box.
She thought about it and took out two silver hairpins from the jewelry box. If sharpened, these things could be no worse than a dagger.
"Honeysuckle, take all of these and ask your family to go to a few more places to buy saltpeter for me."
Both Rendong and Nanny Yang were very curious and asked in unison why Su Yue wanted to buy saltpeter.
Su Yue said: "You will know when you buy it, anyway, this thing is very important.
Honeysuckle, you must ask your family to buy it for me. You don’t have to send it to me after you buy it. Just leave it at your house and I will pick it up in person when the time comes.”
Ren Dong took the silver and the hairpin, her eyes full of determination: "Miss, rest assured, I will definitely get it done. But, Miss, how much saltpeter do you need?"
Su Yue said without thinking: "You can buy as much jewelry as you can with the money. Let your family try to bargain with the store owner. The more you can buy, the better.
Remember not to buy too much from one store. It’s better to buy a little from each store, and then go to several places with more effort. I will also reward your family after the work is done.”
Nanny Yang was confused by what she heard. Could it be that the girl wanted to open a store specializing in saltpeter?
Although Nanny Yang was very curious, she now finally understood Su Yue's personality. If Su Yue didn't want to say it actively, she would not tell them even if they asked.
When she learned that the officials had left, Rendong also left soon after, but she did not go through the corner door, but crawled through a dog hole.
It was Nanny Yang who told me about this dog hole. Nanny Yang also said that climbing through the dog hole could save a lot of trouble and would not attract attention.
Just as Su Yue was drawing the design of the safe base, the excited Nanny Yang walked in and closed the door.
"Girl, the body of that bastard Zhou was taken away by his parents! And I have also heard about this matter!"
Su Yue's curiosity was aroused when she heard this. She raised her eyebrows slightly, "It's over so quickly? What price did the Su family pay?"
Nanny Yang walked up to Su Yue, bent down and whispered, "I heard that the officials searched the entire Su Mansion but couldn't find any clues. Lord Zhou and his wife were crying and making a fuss, and even the old lady was almost fainted with anger.
Finally, the eldest and second masters came back from court. In order to settle the matter, the eldest master gave the Zhou family a large sum of money and promised to find an official position for the Zhou family's illegitimate son. Only then did the Zhou family give up and leave with the bastard's body. "
Su Yue was a little confused. "After all, this Zhou Gou man is the legitimate son of the Zhou family. Can he easily suppress this matter with just some money?"
"Miss, I haven't finished my words yet. Madam Zhou originally wanted 100,000 taels, but our Madam disagreed and said she could only give 10,000 taels at most.
Mrs. Zhou refused to comply and cried even harder. Later, the eldest master gave the Zhou family 30,000 taels of silver and promised that if the Zhou family's illegitimate son passed the imperial examination, he would find him a good job. Only then did Mr. Zhou agree to do so.
But Mrs. Zhou disagreed. After all, the one who died was her own son, and Mrs. Zhou just wanted the person who killed her son to pay with blood.
In the end, it was Master Zhou who slapped Madam Zhou twice and threatened to divorce her if she continued to make trouble. Only then did Madam Zhou leave crying and leading the bastard's body away. "Madame Yang continued.
Su Yue snorted coldly: "My father is really generous. He just gave away 30,000 taels of silver. I guess he got it from my mother's dowry."
Nanny Yang sighed, "Who says it's not true? I feel bad for her too, but the dowry is tightly held by Madam, so it's hard to take it back. Even if Madam is willing, the old lady and the eldest master may not agree."
Su Yue put down the brush, looked at the weird thing she had drawn, sighed, crumpled it into a ball and burned it directly.
"When Honeysuckle comes back, we will take them all back. My things must be returned to their original owners. Why do we need other people's consent?"
Nanny Yang said worriedly, "Miss, this matter may not be that easy. We need to think carefully."
Su Yue curled her lips, stood up and whispered in Nanny Yang's ear for a while. The more Nanny Yang listened, the brighter her eyes became.
"Oh, my girl, you are so smart. How come I can't think of this good idea?"
