Su Yuanwang shook his head. "Zhou Ruotai is extremely cautious in the court now. He will not offend anyone easily. I am afraid there is another hidden reason."

Su Yuanzhe frowned: "It's clear that this is someone behind the scenes. He wants to see the relationship between our two families break down or even fight to the death, but what good will this do him?"

Su Yuanwang's eyes were deep. "No matter what the purpose of the person behind the scenes is, we can't let him succeed. The most urgent task is to find out the truth first and give an explanation to the Zhou family, and also clear our Su family's name."

Madam Su spoke slowly: "What you said makes sense, but we must be careful and not create any more complications."

Su Zexuan also expressed his thoughts, "Uncle, Dad, this murderer can come and go freely in our house. There are two possibilities. Either he is very familiar with our Su House, or he is a martial arts master.

But no matter which one it is, our Su family does need to increase the number of guards and have them patrol more often, otherwise it will be troublesome if our family members get hurt. "

Madam Su nodded with satisfaction: "Xuan'er is right, this is the most important thing."

Su Yuanwang responded, "Don't worry, mother. I will take care of this matter."

At this time, Zhou Ruoxue spoke up: "Then where will the money for the additional guards come from? The mansion is already short of money right now."

Madam Su hesitated for a moment and said, "Then take some money out of my private vault for emergency use."

Su Yuanwang stood up and refused: "Mother, you are joking. How can I use your private money? You sons should figure out a way to deal with this matter."

Madam Su nodded and said, "Okay, you can discuss it among yourselves. That's it, let's all go."

As soon as everyone left Songning Garden, Su Yuanwang said to Zhou Ruoxue, "Madam, if you really can't make ends meet, you can sell one or two vacant manors."

Zhou Ruoxue was stunned at first, then her mind changed.

"Master, there are many unprofitable farms in the dowry my sister left behind. Why don't we find a smaller one to sell?"

Su Yuanwang was about to refuse, but after thinking about it, he felt a little embarrassed: "This is not appropriate, what if it is reported that our Su family uses women's dowry, then how can our Su family stay in the capital with dignity?"

Zhou Ruoxue rolled her eyes in her heart, as if the Su family had never used Su Yue's mother's dowry. With the Su family's meager assets, how could they live so comfortably without Su Yue's mother's dowry?

Zhou Ruoxue suppressed her disdain and said virtuously, "Master, I know this too. I thought we could choose a place far away to sell it first.

We will redeem it when we have enough money in circulation. If we can’t redeem it, we will just buy a new one.

If someone from the General's Mansion asks us later, we can say that the farm is not profitable and we will find another good one to make up for it."

Su Yuanzhe and Wang Qiaoya, who were walking behind, looked at each other when they heard this. Zhou Ruoxue's reason seemed to be good, but anyone who was smart would know that it was an excuse to use the dowry.

Su Yuanwang cleared his throat and said, "Ahem, I'll leave this matter to Madam. Remember to do your best to handle it properly."

Zhou Ruoxue was delighted and quickly responded, "Don't worry, Master. I will take care of it."

Su Yuanzhe and Wang Qiaoya felt that this was inappropriate but they did not speak out to stop it, because if this was done, the second house would not have to pay any money, so why not do it?

Su Yao was so angry that she had nowhere to vent. Looking at Su Yuanwang who was leaving, she suddenly thought of the resentful Su Yue.

Su Yao smiled and said, "My elder sister's foot is injured, so naturally I, as her younger sister, have to visit her. Do you want to go with me, my third sister?"

Su Rou stopped, turned around and smiled sweetly, "Okay."

……

"The eldest lady, the second lady and the third lady are here!" Taohong, the second-class maid of Qingyouyuan, suddenly knocked on the door and came in to report.

Su Yue and Nanny Yang immediately stopped what they were doing, especially Su Yue, who put away the half-finished draft, locked it in a box, and then quickly walked to the bed and lay down.

When Su Yao and Su Rou walked into the house, Su Yue pretended to be weak and said, "Why are the two sisters here?"

Su Yao said with a fake smile: "Sister is injured, and I am naturally very worried, but something big happened in the mansion today, so I couldn't come to visit in time. I hope that elder sister will not be angry with me."

Su Yue didn't say anything, but just looked at Su Yao up and down with a look of surprise.

Su Yao felt uncomfortable being stared at. Was there something wrong with her makeup?

Su Rou also saw Su Yue's eyes, and she looked at Su Yao curiously, but after looking around, she found nothing wrong with Su Yao.

Su Yao, feeling uncomfortable, couldn't help but ask, "Sister, why are you looking at me like this?"

At this time, Nanny Yang brought two wooden stools for Su Yao and Su Rou to sit on.

Su Yue then spoke up, "I also heard about the big event in the mansion today. I thought you would be very sad. After all, you are my cousin and childhood sweetheart. I didn't expect that you look so good."

Su Yao's face froze, and then she pretended to be calm and said, "What are you talking about, sister? I am naturally sad that my cousin is in trouble. I just want to see you. I can't come with a bitter face."

Su Rou, holding back her smile, said, "Big sister, Second sister is like a lotus seed at this moment, feeling bitter in her heart, so please don't poke her in the sore spot."

After hearing what Su Rou said, Su Yao glared at her fiercely, but Su Rou pretended not to notice the warmth that was still in her smile.

Su Yue sat up from the bed and said, "I'm fine. I just need to lie down until my foot is healed. You don't have to worry about me. Go back now."

In fact, Su Yue was only thinking about drawing the tower, so she had no time to argue with these paper figures.

This was the first time that Su Yue had asked Su Yao and Su Rou to leave. They were both surprised and a little bit unbelievable.

How come Su Yue became bolder after hurting her foot? She was usually very nice to both of them, but now she ordered them to leave.

Su Yao couldn't help but screamed: "Su Yue, what do you mean? How dare you chase us away?"

Su Yue raised her eyes, her gaze calm: "I am just telling the truth. The palace doctor said I need to rest. Please go back, my two sisters."

Nanny Yang also gestured to invite them in and said, "Second Miss, Third Miss, what the eldest lady said is correct. The court doctor must ask the young ladies to rest more. Please go back."

Su Rou also put away her smile, frowned and said: "Big sister, you are like this today, it's really unexpected."

Su Yue chuckled: "Surprising? You're familiar with me now that I'm back to trying to please you like I did before, right?"

Su Rou was stunned, then she explained with a stiff smile: "Big sister, I... I didn't mean that..."

Su Yao couldn't stand the current Su Yue. She liked the timid Su Yue of the past better.

She stepped forward and pointed at Su Yue, saying, "You ungrateful thing, we came to see you out of kindness, but you are so ungrateful!"

Facing the heroine in the book, Su Yue was also unhappy. She looked directly at Su Yao and said, "Gratitude? All I got in return for my flattery in the past was your contempt and humiliation. From now on, I will no longer let you control me.

And Su Yao, I am a thing, then you are not a thing! "

Su Yao was extremely angry: "Su Yue, you!"

Su Rou quickly grabbed Su Yao and advised: "Second sister, don't be angry, the eldest sister may be injured and in a bad mood."
