Su Yue's words just now made Su Yuanwang's raised hand freeze in mid-air, and he was reluctant to put it down, because he was really afraid that his eldest daughter, who had suddenly changed her temperament, would really do what she said.

Seeing this, Zhou Ruoxue was secretly delighted, thinking that Su Yue had completely offended Su Yuanwang.

Zhou Ruoxue said hypocritically: "Master, Yue'er is also angry and confused. You must not get angry and hurt the relationship between father and daughter. Besides, Yue'er is a boudoir girl, how can she run around, Master, right?"

Su Yuanwang's eyes flashed. Zhou Ruoxue wanted him to put Su Yue under house arrest. This was a good thing, since Su Yue wouldn't be able to get into trouble for him.

Su Yue was not stupid, so how could she not detect Zhou Ruoxue's intention? "Want to put me under house arrest? You can try, as long as I am under house arrest or suffer some harm.

I, Su Yue, guarantee with my life that tomorrow the whole capital will hear rumors that Su Yao was kidnapped and lost her innocence, and that the Su Mansion swallowed up the dowry of the original wife of the Su family. "

"Rebellious girl, how dare you!" Su Yuanwang was so angry that his face turned red like Guan Gong.

Old Madam Su no longer had her usual kind look. Her face became gloomy and she looked extremely sarcastic and cold.

"Girl Yue, I know you are in a bad mood because you lost your mother's dowry. But this is not a reason for you to destroy the Su family. If you dare to destroy the reputation of the Su family, don't blame me as your grandmother for being cruel and ruthless."

Upon hearing this, Su Yue looked at Madam Su, only to see murderous intent in Madam Su's eyes, as if she wanted to get rid of her.

But Su Yue was not afraid. She didn't want to attack the old lady. If Old Madam Su really dared to attack her, she wouldn't mind giving Old Madam Su a heartless and deadly pill.

Su Yue smiled slightly: "Grandmother, you don't have to be nervous. As long as you return my mother's dowry or 300,000 taels of silver to me within three days, and ensure that I will not be imprisoned or harmed in the Su family, I will naturally be a good girl of the Su family."

Zhou Ruoxue couldn't help but screamed, "Su Yue, don't go too far! How can we collect so much money in three days?"

Su Yue looked at Zhou Ruoxue, her eyes full of sarcasm: "Madam, this is something you should worry about. I only care about the results."

Su Yuanwang said: "Yuer, we are a family after all, why do we have to make such a fuss? Why don't we each take a step back and think of other solutions?"

Su Yue said firmly: "Father, this dowry is originally mine. I just want to get back what belongs to me. Why is it that I can't get along with you?"

Su Yuanwang was speechless after being scolded by Su Yue. His face turned pale and blue. He rubbed his eyebrows weakly and said, "Yuer, your father will try his best to find a solution in the next three days. You can go back first."

Zhou Ruoxue shouted in disbelief: "Master!!"

At this moment, Zhou Ruoxue felt that Su Yuanwang was extremely confused. How could he agree to Su Yue's ridiculous request? Even if she sold the entire Su Mansion, she could not raise the three hundred thousand taels.

Su Yue glanced at Zhou Ruoxue proudly: "Okay, then I'll wait, I hope my father won't let me down."

After saying that, she asked Rendong to carry her and Nanny Yang back to Qingyou Garden.

On the way, Ren Dong said with lingering fear: "Miss, this time the incident was so serious, I'm afraid our life in the mansion will be difficult in the future."

Before Su Yue could say anything, Nanny Yang said, "Sad? In the past seventeen years, I have been sad every year. If the young lady could really get back so much silver, we would live a comfortable life on our own. But I don't know if we can really get back so much silver."

Su Yue smiled and said, "Mammy is right. We just need to live our lives well, and don't care about other people. If they are too idle and come to cause trouble, I will make them regret it for the rest of their lives.

As for the three hundred thousand taels, I don't think it's possible to get all of it back. I guess it's good enough to get more than half of it. Anyway, as much as you can get, it's all free."

Rendong and Nanny Yang also laughed when they heard this, because they both knew that the lost dowry was in Su Yue's space, and they were secretly looking forward to their future life.

As soon as Su Yue and her two servants left, Su Yuanwang asked Butler Su to bring Mrs. Liu and the two guards away for interrogation, and also asked the other servants to leave.

The other two guards who originally wanted to change shifts happened to see the two guards on duty today being dragged away by Butler Su and his men. They were curious and asked about it, but they were so scared that they broke out in cold sweats.

Because they were on duty the night before, and they both fell asleep in the second half of the night for some reason. Could it be that the thing was stolen that time?

The two of them hid in a dark place to discuss it, and decided to keep the matter to themselves to avoid getting into trouble.

At this time, there were only Su Yuanwang, Zhou Ruoxue, and Old Madam Su left.

Seeing that there were no outsiders around, Zhou Ruoxue spoke up: "Mother, Master, I really didn't steal my sister's dowry, why would I do such a thankless task.

For so many years, my sister's dowry has been in my hands. Doing this is not only unnecessary, but will also arouse Su Yue's suspicion.

Besides, where can I hide such a huge dowry? I definitely won’t give it to the Zhou family. After all, I have my own family and children.”

After Old Madam Su and Su Yuanwang calmed down, they listened to Zhou Ruoxue's analysis and felt that it made sense. But if it weren't for Zhou Ruoxue, would the dowry in the warehouse really disappear out of thin air?

Madam Su sighed heavily: "Alas! What happened to our Su family in recent days? Why do disasters keep happening?"

Su Yuanwang said, "Don't worry, mother. I will do my best to check. However, it is really difficult to collect 300,000 taels of silver within three days."

At this point, Madam Su's dissatisfaction with Su Yue reached its peak at this moment, "This Yue girl is not a good person. She looks honest and decent on weekdays, but I didn't expect that she could be so cruel at the critical moment."

Zhou Ruoxue rolled her eyes and said, "Mother, Master, the deeds to the farms, shops, and lands that my sister brought as a dowry are all with me. If we return them to Yue'er, we won't have to pay back 300,000 yuan."

When Zhou Ruoxue said this, she received the approval of Old Madam Su and Su Yuanwang. The mother and son also truly believed that Zhou Ruoxue did not covet Li Yuyan's dowry.

Zhou Ruoxue felt relieved when she saw that the mother and son had no objection, and continued, "But the remaining silver is estimated to be hundreds of thousands, and it is indeed difficult for Yue'er to collect so much silver within three days.

I can still take out 5,000 taels of private silver, but I really can't do anything about the rest. After all, my family is not as wealthy as the general's mansion."

The main reason why Zhou Ruoxue was willing to be so generous in returning the land deed and paying the money this time was that she was afraid that if she really angered Su Yue, she would spread rumors that Su Yao was missing.

Su Yuanwang nodded with satisfaction and said, "Okay, I still have ten thousand taels." After saying that, he looked at Old Madam Su with an embarrassed expression.

Su Yuanwang was also afraid that Su Yue would make too much trouble. If it really got to the emperor, it would be really troublesome. The new emperor had a fickle personality and he might be demoted several levels like Zhou Ruotai, so he couldn't afford to take the risk.

Madam Su received Su Yuanwang's gaze and gritted her teeth: "Forget it, just treat it as spending money to ward off disaster. I will pay 30,000 taels, but let me make it clear first, I will not pay for Yue girl's marriage in the future, even if there is no money in the public treasury!"

Su Yuanwang said quickly: "Mother, you have helped a lot, but the total amount is only 45,000, which is still far from enough."
