Su Wenyuan's eyes were fixed: "This looks like the pair of cards used by the servants of the Su family. On weekdays, I took the card and went out to do some chores, but after returning home, I always handed over the pair of cards. Recently, the mansion has not Heard a pair was lost."

"Master Su, can you confirm that you have never lost a pair of cards?"

Su Wenyuan's eyebrows twitched: "On weekdays, this officer is also busy with affairs. I really don't know if there are any pairs of cards lost. I will ask the housekeeper later to ask. If there are any pairs of cards lost, I must report to Mr. Shen. .”

"Alright, if that's the case, then I won't bother you any more. If Mr. Su thinks of anything, please let me know in time."

"must."

Shen Binghuai did not really suspect the Su family when he came this trip. First, that Wang Zhu himself was a local ruffian. Whether his words can be trusted is still open to question. Second, even if this happened, the Su family wanted Wang Zhu to open It's a very simple thing to say nothing, and it wouldn't make him trouble in Shuntian Mansion.

However, his routine questioning this time caused rumors to spread in the capital.

Recently, there has been a lot of excitement in the capital, and most of them have been related to the Su family. This time, it is even rarer to be involved in a life lawsuit.

Many people stood up one after another, discussing the farce in front of Su's house before.

That day, the sons of Mrs. Wang and Mrs. Liu each took one hundred taels of silver and left, but it was easy for the common people to discuss for a while. After all, it was a hundred taels of silver, and it was given away without any hassle. This level of generosity is astounding.

Many people described the scene that day vividly: "It was a maid named Mo Yu who took out the bank note and handed it over. You all don't know, that Mo Yu is not an ordinary maid, she is serving in the Su family. Old lady, otherwise, how could you just take out two hundred taels of silver?"

"Did that Mo Yu give you the silver? Didn't everyone say it was given by Miss Biao of the Su family, that is, Miss Mu?"

"At that time, I seemed to have heard what Miss Mu said. She also said that Wang Zhu of the Wang family was blackmailing her. She sent someone to find a doctor to find out the cause of Mrs. Wang's death, but the eldest lady of the Su family stopped her..."

"Why stop it? No matter how generous the Su family is, they won't say that a servant will give so much money when he dies. There must be some shameful reason..."

"Then who knows, but Mr. Shen has gone to Su's house to inquire, so he can't say..."

One sentence will completely change after a hundred people. In addition, Mu Yunyao was secretly guided by others. Rumors gradually spread in the capital: Mrs. Wang and Mrs. Liu were killed by members of the Su family. That one hundred taels of silver was just trying to seal it up. But Mrs. Wang's son, Wang Zhu, was greedy and wanted to blackmail more after getting a hundred taels. The Su family ignored him and secretly sent someone to kill him. Wang Zhu had no choice but to stab the matter to Shuntian Mansion in order to survive.

After Su Wenyuan heard the news, his face turned pale, and he hurriedly went to see the eldest lady Meng: "That day, the family members of Mrs. Wang and Mrs. Liu came to the house to make a fuss. Why did you give them money?"

Mrs. Meng was planning how to punish Mu Yunyao, when she heard this, she didn't react for a while: "Master, why are you so angry?"

"Do you know what kind of news is spreading in the capital now? I don't know how many people said that our Su family killed people to silence them, and then gave a hundred taels of silver as a hush money. Stabbing in front of the emperor, will our Su family lose face?"

Da Furen was startled: "What happened that day was too sudden, plus someone was slandering Yu Yi's reputation outside, I was busy helping Yu Yi to rectify her name, so I handed it over to Mu Yunyao to deal with..."

"Leave it to her? Do you think the matter is not messy enough, and you also involved Mu Yunyao?"

"Master, what's going on, I've been confused, and I still don't understand it."

"Forget it, this matter is completely unfounded, and I am not afraid of Shen Binghuai's investigation. Now check the cards in the mansion, is there any missing?"

The Da Furen hurriedly asked someone to check, and the next one replied that all the pairs of cards were intact and not lost.

The eldest lady breathed a sigh of relief: "Master, the matching cards in the mansion are not very detailed. It is impossible to tell if someone deliberately forged it in order to discredit our Su family."

Su Wenyuan nodded: "You should check up and down the mansion first, and don't spread any inappropriate words. I will go to Shuntian Mansion now." If there is no problem with the cards, the suspicion of the Su family is fine Cleaned up.

The eldest lady nodded, but her frowning brows never relaxed. She always felt that things were not as simple as this. Just as she was thinking about it, she heard Nanny Qi come forward to report: "Madam, a woman came to the door and said she was here to deliver something to Miss Mu."

The Da Furen is extremely disgusted with Mu Yunyao now, and sneered when she heard this: "Send all nonsense things to the mansion. What is the boundary of our Su family? You can ask clearly, what are you sending?"

"It is said that it is the money earned by sending Niyunfang and Buxianlou."

The eldest lady's eyes moved: "Send money? Do you know how much to give?"

"This... the maidservant didn't ask." Nanny Qi's face turned pale, and her throat still had a dull pain, but she was not doing well in Baohua Temple, and she was punished several times by Su Yuyi's order, for fear of losing her status, He wanted to pay off his merits, so he didn't dare to rest because of the discomfort, and he still waited carefully in front of the eldest lady.

The eldest lady moved her eyes up and down, and a sneer sneered on her lips: "Call someone in, and I'll see in person."

"Yes."

It was Yunchun who came to send the silver. Ever since Mu Yunyao left Jingling City, Guanshi Qin had been planning to open an unenviable building in the capital, and the place had already taken shape, so he asked Yunchun to lead the people here. Settle down first.

Mu Yunyao only got the news before going to Baohua Temple. Because of the rush of time, she didn't have time to see Yunchun. After something happened in Baohua Temple, she asked the secretary to contact her and ask her to help with something.

Yunchun's appearance is not that outstanding, but the aura around her makes her feel extraordinarily comfortable, but when she deliberately restrains herself, she looks much more ordinary.

"I've met the eldest lady." Yunchun entered the door and knelt down to salute, with a somewhat reserved look.

Seeing her appearance, Da Furen's attitude became calm, she seemed to be just a servant: "Are you here to give Yunyao money?"

"Go back to Ma'am, yes."

"Yunyao went to Baohua Temple to pray for blessings, but she hasn't come back yet, please give me the things."

Yun Chun looked hesitant: "Is this inappropriate?"

"Huh? Could it be that the Su family can afford this bit of money?" The eldest lady looked worried, and her voice was a little cold.

Yun Chun hurriedly saluted, with an even more cautious expression: "I absolutely dare not think this way. Since the young lady is not here, then these silver taels should be handed over to Madam first, and Madam Lao will hand them over on her behalf."

The eldest lady nodded slightly coquettishly: "Well, Yunyao should be able to come back tomorrow. It's not easy for you to come here from Jingling City, so you can stay in the mansion for two days first."

Yunchun was very pleasantly surprised: "Yes, thank you Madam."

"Nurse Qi, it's easy to take him down to settle down."

"Yes."
