Zhou Ruoxue reminded: "Master, the profits from the farm and the shop are all paid into the public treasury, and the second branch also enjoys some of the benefits. Now that our Su family is in trouble, the second branch should also contribute."

Madam Su sighed and said, "Eldest Wife, what you said is true, but you see this matter has become so serious. Has anyone from the Second House come to check on the situation? They clearly don't want to get involved in this matter. It will probably be difficult for you to ask them for money."

Su Yuanwang frowned: "Tell my second brother something, he should be able to scrape together at least 10,000 or 20,000 yuan. There are not two Su families. How can we only share wealth but not adversity?"

Zhou Ruoxue lowered her eyes: "Master is right."

Madam Su glanced at Zhou Ruoxue and said, "You guys can handle it on your own. I'll ask Madam Zheng to bring the money to you later."

After Madam Su left, Su Yuanwang thought for a moment and said, "Madam, give me all those deeds later. I'll calculate how much they are worth and see how much I can use to offset them."

Zhou Ruoxue was still a little worried: "Okay, then what if Yue'er wants the profits from the farm and the shop over the years?"

Su Yuanwang sighed deeply: "I will discuss it with her when the time comes. We are all family, how can we kill each other like this?

By the way, you have indeed treated Yue'er badly over the years. After all, she is still the eldest daughter of our Su family.

Since you want to treat her as your own daughter, you should treat her the same as Yao'er."

Zhou Ruoxue's face turned pale in an instant. Although she hated him in her heart, she still responded meekly: "Master, I know I was wrong. I will be better to Yue'er in the future. Today, I couldn't find Yao'er, so my tone was not good. I will take the initiative to ease the relationship with Yue'er in the future."

Su Yuanwang nodded, "That's great. I'll go find my second brother. You go back and have a rest. We can talk about Yao'er's matter after Ling'er and Xuan'er come back. Maybe they have already found Yao'er."

"Okay." Zhou Ruoxue could only nod worriedly.

On the other side, Su Rou drank a sip of tea and said to Wang Qiaoya, "Mother, why don't we go and take a look? After all, it's a big deal. Whether we can live a comfortable life in the future depends on the dowry."

Wang Qiaoya wiped the sweat off her head with a handkerchief. "It's not our dowry, so why would we go there? Don't let yourself get into trouble when you don't get to eat mutton. As for the specific situation, we can ask someone who knows the situation and we'll know."

As soon as Wang Qiaoya finished speaking, a maid came forward to report: "Second Madam, the eldest master has gone to the study to look for the second master."

Wang Qiaoya and Su Rou looked at each other and said helplessly, "This time, even though we didn't see the sheep, we still got into trouble."

Su Rou reacted and asked in surprise: "Mother, does that mean that my uncle will borrow money from our second branch?"

Wang Qiaoya frowned and said, "I'm afraid it's almost certain. I hope your father won't be soft-hearted."

In the study, brothers Su Yuanwang and Su Yuanzhe sat opposite each other, and the atmosphere was somewhat solemn.

"Second brother, this time the eldest brother came here to ask for an important matter." Su Yuanwang was the first to break the silence.

Su Yuanzhe frowned slightly, "Brother, I can probably guess, but what about the dowry of Yue's biological mother?"

Su Yuanwang sighed, nodded and said, "It seems that you already know it, I will not hide it from you. In this situation, if we don't collect the money, the Su family will be disgraced.

My mother, your sister-in-law and I have pooled our money together and have only managed to collect 45,000 taels. We are estimated to be short of around 100,000 taels."

One hundred thousand taels! Su Yuanzhe swallowed his saliva and looked embarrassed, "Brother, it's not that I don't want to help, but I'm not well-off. It can be said that even if I emptied my second room, I still wouldn't have one hundred thousand taels."

Su Yuanwang said hurriedly: "Second brother, if you don't have 100,000 or 20,000, it's okay, just think of it as saving the Su family, you don't know that Yue'er's temperament has changed drastically because of the dowry.

She also said that if she couldn’t raise the dowry within three days, she would bring the matter to the emperor.”

Su Yuanzhe frowned and said, "Did she really say that? Big brother, I'm not saying anything bad about you, but you can't control this little girl?"

Su Yuanwang looked embarrassed. "It's not that I can't do anything about it, but this little girl has already made preparations. She said that if I put her under house arrest or let her get hurt,

Tomorrow, rumors will spread in the capital that Su Yao, the second daughter of the Su family, was kidnapped by criminals and lost her innocence. What do you think I can do? "

Su Yuanzhe was stunned. Is this still his timid niece?

He pondered for a moment and said, "Brother, the most I can take out is 10,000 taels. I really don't have any more."

Su Yuanwang also knew that this was Su Yuanzhe's limit, so he nodded and said, "Ten thousand taels is fine, thank you very much, second brother."

Not long after Su Yuanwang left, Wang Qiaoya came in and asked hurriedly, "Uncle came to borrow money? How much did you give?"

Su Yuanzhe nodded helplessly, "Ten thousand taels, my elder brother has asked for it himself, how can I not give it?"

Wang Qiaoya felt so distressed that she complained, "This is really unbelievable. I lost so much money for no reason."

Su Yuanzhe looked out the window and said calmly, "The weather is going to change!"

Wang Qiaoya looked out the window and asked in confusion, "The sky is clear, how can the weather change?"

Su Yuanzhe retracted his gaze and said, "Tell Rou'er not to provoke Su Yue easily in the future."

Wang Qiaoya was stunned for a moment, then said, "Master, Su Yue is just a little girl, can she really turn the tables?"

Su Yuanzhe frowned and said, "Don't underestimate her. The fact that she was so tough this time and was able to control my eldest brother is enough to show that she is not simple. In short, you have to listen to me and do what I say. Don't ask for trouble later."

Although Wang Qiaoya was not convinced, she did not dare to say anything more.

When Su Yuanwang was returning to the study with ten thousand taels in his pocket, he happened to meet Zhou Ruoxue walking towards him with a box.

Zhou Ruoxue quickly asked: "How is the master?"

Su Yuanwang smiled bitterly: "It took a lot of persuasion to get 10,000 taels."

Zhou Ruoxue frowned and said, "Only ten thousand? I guess it's still far from enough."

Su Yuanwang took the box from her hand and said, "First add these up and see how much is still missing. By the way, has mother sent the money over?"

Zhou Ruoxue nodded: "It has been delivered. Not only that, mother also added two more farms. It is said that Lin'er is about to die, so don't let these things hinder his future."

Su Yuanwang sighed: "After all, mother still cares about the future of the Su family."

As soon as the couple returned to the study, they began to count and calculate carefully.

After some calculations, Zhou Ruoxue's expression became even uglier: "Master, even if we take into account the farm my mother gave me, we are still short of 50,000."

Su Yuanwang rubbed his brows and said, "Put all these away. I'll send them to that damn girl now. As for the remaining 50,000, I'll see if she can be lenient for a while. Tomorrow I'll sell those antiques I collected.

Zhou Ruoxue's eyes immediately turned red. "Master, you must investigate carefully. Who is the bastard who is targeting our Su family? This is clearly making our Su family lose everything!"
