Su Yue's eyes were sharp as she swept over everyone present. "What happened today is a lesson for you. If you betray me again, you will end up like Tao Hong!"

The maids nodded one after another and said in unison: "We are definitely loyal to you, young lady, and we will never have second thoughts."

Su Yue nodded in satisfaction: "Okay, everyone leave now. Ren Dong, lock up Tao Hong first and we'll talk about it tomorrow."

Tao Hong struggled to get up and kowtowed to Su Yue while begging, "Miss, I will tell you everything now. The eldest master will definitely not let me and my family go.

Please, young lady, save me! I know I was wrong, and I won’t do it again next time. No, no, no… there won’t be a next time! I will serve you wholeheartedly next time.”

Su Yue looked down at Tao Hong and then turned away.

Seeing Su Yue's attitude, Taohong's hope was shattered. She immediately turned around and knelt down to beg Nanny Yang.

"Mammy, I know you are the kindest person. Please help me to plead for mercy for the young lady. I really did something wrong out of helplessness."

Su Yue said coldly: "You are right about this point. Madam has always been kind-hearted, but I am a vicious person and cannot tolerate any grain of sand in my eyes.

Actually, you don’t have to be afraid. I won’t hurt you. I will send you out tomorrow.”

After Su Yue finished speaking, she looked at Rendong. After noticing Su Yue's gaze, Rendong ignored Taohong who was still begging and directly picked her up and walked towards Changpu's room.

After everyone dispersed, Nanny Yang asked Su Yue, "Miss, how do you plan to deal with Tao Hong?"

Su Yue showed a hint of sneer, "No need to deal with her. Since Tao Hong is Su Zelin's person, let someone send Tao Hong over tomorrow."

Nanny Yang was startled and said, "Young lady, I'm afraid that doing this will anger the eldest master."

Su Yue didn't care and snorted, "So what if I'm angry? Since he dared to put his hand on me, he should have thought about the consequences."

Nanny Yang said worriedly, "But the eldest master has always been narrow-minded. I'm afraid he won't let it go."

Su Yue looked determined and said, "Don't be afraid, Ma'am. I already have a plan in mind."

As soon as Su Yue finished speaking, a white dove suddenly flew from a distance and landed at Nanny Yang's feet.

Madam Yang quickly picked up the pigeon, pulled out the note from its legs, opened it and whispered, "Girl, they are here."

Su Yue was stunned. It wasn't even Yin time yet. She didn't expect them to come so quickly. "Mammy, you stay here and I will go with Ren Dong."

Linfengyuan...

At this time, Su Zelin had not turned off the lights to rest yet, because the imperial examination would be held next month, and he was taking the time to review his lessons.

But tonight he was obviously absent-minded. He hadn't turned the page of the book in his hand for a long time, and his eyes looked out the window from time to time.

Suddenly, there was a light knock on the door. Su Zelin's heart tightened, and he asked in a low voice: "Who?"

Wen Mo's voice came from outside the door: "Sir, it's me."

Su Zelin breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Come in."

Wen Mo hurried over and said in a low voice, "Sir, it's bad. Tao Hong has been caught by the young lady."

Su Zelin's face suddenly changed, and the book in his hand fell to the ground: "How could this happen? This stupid girl! Did she betray me?"

Wen Mo nodded with an unpleasant expression: "I have been eavesdropping outside the door and heard the eldest lady threaten Taohong's family.

He also used those snakes to torture Taohong. Taohong couldn't help but say that it was the eldest master who ordered her to do this. "Master, what should we do now?"

Su Zelin paced back and forth, and after thinking for a moment, he said, "Why are you panicking? Let's see what Su Yue does first. I don't think she would dare to do anything to me!"

This was the first time Su Zelin had done such a thing, and now that he had been caught, he was very panicked.

That bitch Taohong is such a waste, she can't even do such a small thing. When she was caught, she should have banged her head against the wall and died on the spot. Why did she give him away?

On the other side, Su Yue and Rendong had already passed through the dog hole and left the Su Mansion, and saw three fully loaded ox carts parked beside the alley.

Liu Qiang, Liu Daxi and Liu Danan immediately went to greet Su Yue and Rendong when they saw them coming out.

Liu Qiang bowed and said, "Miss, everything is ready according to your written instructions."

Su Yue nodded slightly: "Thank you for your hard work."

Liu Qiang smiled naively and said, "Miss, you are too polite. It is our honor to serve you."

Liu Daxi also spoke up at this time: "Girl, the two ox carts in front are each loaded with 1,000 kilograms of rice and flour, and the ox cart at the back is loaded with groceries."

Liu Qiang standing by had an indescribable look in his eyes, because after Su Yue left, the Liu family began to check the supplies that Su Yue wanted to buy, but when they saw the large sheet of densely packed names of the supplies, they were all shocked.

They even suspected whether Su Yue was going to open more than a dozen stores of different types, as they were required to deliver 1,000 kilograms of rice and flour each day.

Tonight is the first day and all kinds of groceries need to be delivered, such as fifty sets of kitchen knives and cutting boards, thirty earthen stoves, fifty large iron pots, fifty casseroles and dozens of kilograms of various seasonings, etc. It is clearly the appearance of opening a restaurant.

Ren Dong did not need Su Yue's instructions, she went forward to check. After a while, Ren Dong said to Su Yue: "Miss, my second uncle did purchase the items required according to the bill."

Liu Danan said carelessly: "Of course, we are doing everything according to the paper the girl gave us, without any ambiguity."

What he didn't say was that before they set off, his father and his second uncle counted the items written on the list three times and confirmed that they were correct before letting them set off.

Liu Danan suddenly remembered what his father had told him before they set out, and he took out the land deed from his arms and handed it to Su Yue.

"Girl, my father has already bought the valley today. The place is remote and has never been reclaimed, so it is not expensive. The total price is 230 taels. Here is the deed, keep it.

We have almost recruited enough workers, and we have already started building accommodation for them. We will probably be able to start laying the foundation tomorrow."

Su Yue took the deed and checked it to confirm that it was correct. She nodded with satisfaction and said, "Okay, you and Ren Dong put all these supplies into the hole. Someone will receive them in the yard."

In fact, Su Yue didn't want to go through so much trouble. She also wanted to just wave her hand and store all the supplies on the three ox carts into the space at once.

But Su Yue didn't dare to reveal the space to anyone except Nanny Yang and Rendong for fear of causing trouble.

So now we can only use this method. It is a bit troublesome, but it will not arouse the Liu family's suspicion.

The three men of the Liu family looked at the hole in the wall and couldn't help but twitch their lips. This lady from the Shangshu Mansion was the first one to do such a thing.
