Chapter 42 Mushroom Chicken Soup
Su Yuanwang felt a worse headache after hearing what Zhou Ruoxue said. He couldn't say anything. He really had no idea at all.
If it were those political enemies in the court, their methods would not be similar, and if they wanted to take action, they would have done it long ago and would not have waited so many years. But if it wasn't them, Su Yuanwang really couldn't think of who it could be.
It doesn't feel like they are targeting the Su family, because the second branch didn't suffer any losses. From all the signs, it seems more like they are targeting their first branch.
The eldest daughter lost her dowry, the second daughter was kidnapped and her whereabouts are still unknown, and his wife's nephew was killed by criminals. The only ones left are him, Zhou Ruoxue and Su Zelin.
Su Yuanwang's heart skipped a beat when he thought of this. He immediately called Steward Su in and ordered, "If the eldest master comes back, send more people to protect him."
Butler Su took the order and left. Zhou Ruoxue said with a worried look on her face: "Master, is there really someone who wants to harm Lin'er?"
Su Yuanwang's face was gloomy, and he said: "In this situation, it is better to be careful."
Su Yuanwang would certainly feel heartbroken if he lost a daughter, but if he lost an outstanding son, it would definitely cost him half his life.
……
At this time, the air above Qingyou Garden was filled with the rich aroma of mushrooms and chicken, and the sound of women laughing could be heard from time to time, making the remote Qingyou Garden seem less lifeless.
The reason was that Su Yue, who was in a good mood today, took out the pheasant and dried mushrooms brought by Honeysuckle from the space and asked Honeysuckle to stew them. She said that after the stew, everyone should drink a few bowls of it so that they would be in good health and be better at fighting.
Three women were chattering around a small earthen stove on a stone table in the yard. This was what Su Yuanwang saw when he entered Qingyou Garden.
When Rendong and Nanny Yang saw Su Yuanwang coming, they immediately saluted, but Su Yue ignored him, as if her eyes were glued to the casserole. After all, the service had been paid for, so there was no point in expecting a nice attitude.
Although Su Yuanwang was angry, he suppressed his anger and said, "I brought you the money."
Su Yue turned around and looked at Su Yuanwang after hearing this. There was a look of surprise on her face. It had only been such a short time, and yet they had managed to collect three hundred thousand taels?
Su Yuanwang cleared his throat unnaturally and sat down, then asked the servant beside him to bring him a mahogany box.
"There are 55,000 taels of silver in here, as well as the farm and shop that your mother brought as a dowry, and the indentures of all the servants in your Qingyou Garden. The total value is 250,000 taels, and there is still a shortfall of 50,000 taels. Take a look.
The remaining fifty thousand taels will take a few days to be delivered. If it takes longer than that, don’t be too fussy.”
Rendong and Nanny Yang looked at each other and saw surprise and smiles in each other's eyes.
Su Yue was not polite. She opened the box and took a look. Apart from the large banknotes and six indentures, the rest were indeed the deeds to the shops and the farm.
Su Yue smiled and said, "Mammy, I'll give these deeds to you to check. Father, if you have nothing to do, just stay with your daughter and wait. Let's settle it in person so that we can talk it out later."
Seeing that Su Yao didn't believe him, Su Yuanwang was still a little angry: "It's up to you."
Nanny Yang took the title deed and hurried to check it. The yard soon fell into silence. The silence in the yard made the gurgling sound in the casserole seem particularly loud, and the smell coming out seemed even more delicious.
Su Yuanwang's restless heart gradually calmed down, and he even felt a little hungry.
The mushroom chicken soup was cooked quickly. As soon as the lid of the pot was opened, the more fragrant aroma came to the face. The golden chicken soup made people salivate.
Rendong served Su Yue a bowl of chicken soup, and then took two large chicken legs and placed them in the empty bowl.
Su Yuanwang thought one of the chicken legs was for him, and just as he reached out his hand he was stopped by Rendong.
"Stop it! I'm sorry, Master, these chicken legs are for the young lady. She needs more nourishment because she's weak."
Su Yuanwang: ...
Su Yue seemed to be immersed in the deliciousness and drank slowly, completely ignoring Su Yuanwang's ugly expression.
Su Yuanwang's face turned pale but he couldn't get angry. If word got out that he was fighting with his daughter for a bowl of chicken soup, would he still be able to save his reputation?
At this time, Nanny Yang came back. She walked to Su Yue and said softly, "Miss, there is no problem with the land deeds, but there are two more farms outside the city."
Su Yuanwang explained: "This is a supplement."
Su Yue nodded, looked at Su Yuanwang and said, "Father, for the sake of family harmony, I will not tell Madam about the profits over the years, but you have to hold on to the remaining 50,000 taels."
Su Yuanwang snorted coldly: "Father knows what's going on." After saying that, he stood up and was about to leave.
Su Yue stopped him and said, "Father, this chicken soup is delicious. Why don't you try it before you leave?"
Su Yuanwang originally wanted to agree, but when he saw the painful look on Rendong's face, he instantly felt angry and said, "No need, since you are weak, just drink more." After saying that, he turned away.
Su Yue looked at his back, the corners of her mouth slightly raised, and continued to drink the chicken soup.
Honeysuckle said, "Miss, the master is angry because of shame."
Su Yue smiled slightly: "Whether he is angry or not has nothing to do with me. As long as I can get back what belongs to me, it's fine."
Nanny Yang said, "Young lady, we have to be careful next time. We don't know what tricks the master and the mistress might use."
Su Yue handed the empty bowl to Ren Dong and said, "Don't worry, Mammy. They won't be in the mood to do anything to us next. By the way, Mammy, how is the person I asked you to find?"
Madam Yang replied, "I have found a shopkeeper who was dismissed by Zhou Ruoxue. His name is Song Mingtao. He was originally the shopkeeper of the pawnshop that my late wife brought as a dowry. He was dismissed by Zhou Ruoxue because he refused to surrender to her. He is now working as an accountant in a small restaurant."
Su Yue asked while chewing a chicken leg: "Mammy, what do you think of this person? Is he reliable?"
After thinking for a moment, Madam Yang said, "I have talked to him. He is an upright and loyal man. He has always been grateful to the late Madam.
The only bad thing is that this person is too straightforward, so he has had a hard time these years. If I could give him a chance, I'm sure he would do his best."
Su Yue was chewing on a chicken leg while thinking that the weather would become hotter and hotter starting next month.
Therefore, she had to sell all the land deeds and exchange them for supplies before anyone noticed that a natural disaster was coming. It would be a good idea for her to store them.
"Mammy, since you trust him, give him all the deeds in that box and ask him to sell them all. It's okay to give him a favorable price, but don't sell them at a low price.
After the matter is done, I will give him one thousand taels as a reward. Oh, and let his whole family sign a contract to sell themselves. I will return the contract after the matter is done, so that we can have some protection."
Nanny Yang was a little surprised: "Miss, have you sold so many land deeds? What if..."
Su Yue interrupted her: "Mammy, do as I say. No one can predict the natural disaster that will come next. By then, these deeds will be nothing more than a piece of waste paper. Only by exchanging them for daily necessities can you save your life."
Madam Yang hesitated for a moment, but still nodded and said, "Okay, I'll do it right away."
Su Yue suddenly thought of something and added: "Mammy, since he used to be the owner of a pawnshop, he should have a good eye. After selling some land deeds, ask him to buy me some fine jade or jadeware, as well as various medicinal materials."
Madam Yang asked, "How much jade and medicinal herbs does the girl want?"
Su Yue estimated and said, "The jade should be within 10,000 taels. The key is quality rather than quantity. For the medicinal materials, prepare some for clearing away heat and detoxification, relieving summer heat, treating colds, frostbite, wound medicine, and trauma. As for the number of portions, prepare 2,000 portions first. Anyway, the space won't go bad."
After hearing what Su Yue said, Nanny Yang was secretly surprised, but she still agreed and even wrote down what Su Yue said to avoid missing anything.
Honeysuckle, who was standing by, asked what Yang Ma was thinking, "Miss, there are so many things. Can your precious space hold so many?"
Su Yue smiled mysteriously: "I'll raise it big enough so I can put it in there."
