After sending away those bad guys, the space of Luoyeju became much fresher and more beautiful.

Su Ci still insisted on hiring a doctor to treat Hua Fuyin's face. When Su Yuan saw her mother's red and swollen face, she burst into tears. After all, she was young, so after crying and eating her fill, she went back to sleep.

It turns out that children are happy and carefree.

It is enviable.

Hua Fuyin kept blaming Su Ci for spending extra money to hire a doctor, but she couldn't hide the smile on her face; she was really happy.

She saw and remembered her daughter's love and protection for her.

She didn't expect that her daughter would suddenly grow up to be her greatest support one day right under her nose, making her feel at ease and comforted.

After having dinner in Hua Fuzi's room, he told her about the arrangements for Xiaotao to go to the farm outside the city, and even explained how he had borrowed six martial arts masters to go to the farm to protect her brother and sister.

When Hua Fuyi heard that his daughter had considered and taken care of children outside the city, he felt even more relieved and relieved.

He also raised the question in his mind, "Why would Zhenbaolou help us?"

Su Ci just made up an excuse and evaded the question.

The mother might believe her, or she might not want to ask more questions, and the matter would be left unresolved.

Just after dinner, I heard Nanny Yao come in to report that the old lady had woken up.

When I heard that the first and second wives had signed a promissory note with us, I started cursing at them, saying that they were stupid, incompetent, and as dumb as pigs.

She said that the family had no money at all, so how could they repay the money? She also said that the IOU was not signed by her and had nothing to do with her, so she asked the first and second wives to find a way to raise the money themselves.

The angry First and Second Madams argued with her for half an hour, but she refused to give in.

No one can match the old lady in terms of shamelessness and unreasonableness.

It is said that people need face and trees need bark.

Sometimes the old lady has no shame at all and acts like a spoiled brat, not caring about anything.

It is said that the old lady was a farm girl and did not have much education. Most farm girls did not learn much about hard work and simplicity, but she learned the essence of shrews' throwing tantrums.

Although she has become more restrained in the past few decades as an official's wife, once she starts to act like a spoiled brat, most people will still be unable to resist.

The eldest and second masters knew that their mother had always been unreasonable. When this unreasonableness was directed at them, they could only shake their heads and sigh, helpless.

I heard that the eldest master went to report the theft first today, and after spending an hour there, he went with the second master to apply for a replacement deed.

Later, it was discovered that it was limited to the "red deed", and the processing was cumbersome and time-consuming.

There are two kinds of deeds, one is the "white deed" and the other is the "red deed". The "red deed" is certified by the government, while the "white deed" is a privately signed deed that has not been certified by the government. Generally, only the deed is recognized, not the person.

In order to save a lot of stamp duty, the Su family basically signed "white deeds", and only very few signed "red deeds" in public.

The number of "red deeds" accounts for less than a quarter of all deeds.

The most profitable shops and farms of the Su family are basically leased out in kind.

Once the "white deed" is lost or stolen, the consequences will be very serious and it is very likely to change hands.

This is like giving away all your money-making business!

Especially the two prosperous shops and the brothel on East Street, which made a fortune every day.

Thinking of this, the two brothers were so depressed that they almost vomited blood.

The losses this time were huge, and the situation was reduced to its original state almost overnight.

The eldest and second masters returned to the Su Mansion after a day of running around outside, almost exhausted. Before they could catch their breath, they heard that the old lady and her two daughters-in-law had a quarrel.

The two men tried to persuade and lobby their mother and daughter-in-law for a long time. They were exhausted both physically and mentally, and almost lost half their lives.

It looked like both of them had aged a lot.

At noon today, we finally invited Tang Yuliu, the "expert in trauma" from the Imperial Hospital. He was really good at it and actually dug out a metal foreign object from each of Su Hanyue's wounds.

After the foreign object was dug out and the best medicine was applied, Su Hanyue's bleeding finally stopped and her fever subsided.

This made the old lady, the first lady and the second lady breathe a sigh of relief.

After breathing a sigh of relief, the three of them sat together and tried to plot against the third room again, which led to the scene where Su Ci saw them coming to cause trouble for Hua Fuyi.

Unexpectedly, Su Hanyue escaped this time.

I thought I could take her life this time!

Forget it, if she doesn’t die in one try, I’ll try again later! She will die eventually. She can’t be like a cat with nine lives!

Xiaotao sat in a carriage and drove all the way to the farm at the foot of Yulong Mountain outside the city.

When they arrived at the farm, Xiao Tao was led by the gatekeeper and soon met Mr. Su Bai, the seventh son of the Su family, and Miss Su Zi, the third daughter of the Su family.

The two are twins who look very similar and both have outstanding looks. Su Zi is gentle and quiet like a woman, while Su Bai is sunny and handsome.

Xiao Tao stepped forward and greeted the two of them, then handed the box to Su Bai and introduced the six guards she brought with her to them.

When Su Bai heard that the guards who were protecting them were borrowed by his sister from the Treasure House, he was even more polite and asked the manager of the manor to take them to rest first.

When only Su Bai, Su Zi and Xiao Tao were left, Su Bai asked excitedly, "Are mother and sister okay? What did your sister ask you to bring me?"

"The lady didn't say, and I don't know what it is."

“So mysterious!”

The moment the box was opened, Su Bai was shocked.

There were two small and exquisite crossbows placed side by side in the box, which were made with modern advanced processing technology. Not only were they beautiful in appearance, but they were also very lethal.

In ancient times, this kind of weapon was so advanced that it dazzled people's eyes.

Su Bai carefully took one out from there, held it in front of his eyes and looked at it carefully, his eyes widened and a look of joy filled his face.

Shocked, happy, can't put it down!

"Is this a gift from my sister? It's so beautiful, so great, I love it so much... What's its name?"

"The young lady was afraid that someone would harm you and the third young lady, so she asked me to give this to you. She also asked you to give the other one to Master Changqing if possible. The young lady said this is called a repeating crossbow, which can shoot five arrows in a row. The young lady also said that if there are not enough arrowheads, we can find a way to process more. I should be able to find someone to do this."

"That's great, how could I have such a good sister! I miss Xiaoci! Go back and ask Xiaoci, Zier and I will be back to the Su Mansion in a few days, okay?"

"The young lady asked me to tell you that she will come to see you in a few days. Also, she asked you to take these guards with you to catch the murderer who wanted to harm you and hand him over to the authorities for punishment."

"How can Xiaoci be so sure that someone will come to harm us?"

"The young lady said that the old lady, the first lady and the second lady have repeatedly used shady tricks to deal with the third wife. Now that their evil plans have failed, they will not give up. They must have a backup plan. You should be more careful!"

Then Xiaotao began to describe in vivid and eloquent terms what had happened recently.

Su Bai and Su Zi felt it was wonderful, as if they were listening to a story.

At the same time, I gained a new understanding of the viciousness of Old Madam Su and the first and second wives.

There is no such thing as viciousness, only more viciousness. Their viciousness has refreshed everyone's cognitive bottom line.
