Chapter 180. Minister Zhou felt very bitter, and so did Vice Minister Gu.
"It is like this. This Miss Shen saved the life of my Chu family. I originally intended to give this money to Miss Shen, but I did not expect to encounter such a thing."
"I have already had another generous gift prepared. Could you two gentlemen be my witnesses?"
Minister Zhou: "..."
The Chu family truly lived up to their reputation as the wealthiest merchants in the Great Yong Dynasty, managing to produce hundreds of thousands of taels of silver in a single transaction.
Minister Zhou felt very bitter.
Vice Minister Gu: "..."
No wonder the Imperial Guards, knowing full well that the items belonged to the Chu family, still tried to swindle them out of their money.
Vice Minister Gu felt a pang of bitterness in his heart.
He was accompanied by his superiors, Minister Zhou and Vice Minister Gu.
Chu Jingxuan then had the Silver Armor Guards carry out even more boxes than before from Jinzhaozui and deliver them to the dilapidated inn where Shen Shuli was temporarily staying.
The humble inn instantly transformed into a magnificent and resplendent place.
Shen Shuli hadn't expected that such a large sum of money would still be temporarily confiscated.
Realizing that she was the source of the whole thing, Shen Shuli felt wronged on Chu Jingxuan's behalf.
original.
Shen Shuli had no intention of flaunting her wealth in a grand manner.
But God doesn't fulfill people's wishes.
just now.
It's estimated that half of the people in Beijing know that she, a peasant who fled from a small town, has a large fortune.
It's likely that many people are secretly watching her and the Su family.
To prevent anyone from causing trouble.
Shen Shuli spent a huge sum of money to book the entire inn and asked the innkeeper to ask all the other guests to leave.
now.
The Su and Shen families gathered in the largest backyard of the inn for a quiet meeting.
“Grandfather, grandmother, grandfather, grandmother, we suddenly have so much money, surely someone is eyeing it secretly.”
Shen Shuli recounted the events to both families.
However, to avoid causing trouble for her family, Shen Shuli did not mention that the four people she rescued in the back mountain of Qingyun County were Chu Jingxuan.
That matter, after all, involved spies from the northern barbarians and traitors from the imperial court.
This is a matter of great importance; the Su and Shen families simply cannot afford the risks of being exposed.
(Note: To distinguish between the grandparents of the Su family and the Shen family, the terms of address were differentiated.)
(The Su family calls them grandparents, and the Shen family calls them grandpa and grandma.)
"Why don't we leave now?" Old Mrs. Shen suggested, holding Shen Shuli's hand with great concern.
This is right at the foot of the imperial city.
Those who live here are people that ordinary civilians like them can't afford to mess with.
And anyone here can bully these outsiders at will.
That's just how unfair the world is.
“Yes, my dear grandson, I agree with your grandma’s suggestion.” Old Man Shen immediately chimed in.
Old Man Su and Old Woman Su exchanged a glance, and Old Woman Su said, "We're fine with whatever you say, we'll follow your arrangements."
Shen Yuehua looked at Shen Shuli with concern and said, "Why don't we exchange this money for silver notes? Otherwise, we won't be able to take all these boxes with us."
"Even if we take it, we'll definitely be targeted and it'll bring us trouble sooner or later."
Shen Shuli knew that her mother was just making excuses for her to divert these funds.
"Father, what do you think?" Shen Shuli turned to Su Yunhai and asked.
“Your mother is right. We already brought a lot of supplies, and all this money would fill seven or eight carts. It’s too easy for us to attract attention. It would be best to exchange this money for easily portable banknotes when we have time,” Su Yunhai said.
Shen Shuli nodded in agreement: "Okay, let's go and take care of this. Everyone pack your things and be ready to leave as soon as we get back."
“I don’t think it’s enough for just the two of you to go. There are so many boxes, you simply can’t carry them all. I reckon that as soon as you step out of this inn, you’ll be watched,” Su Yunshan warned.
"How about I call the people from the money exchange and have them come to our door?" Su Yunlin suggested.
Shen Shuli's eyes lit up instantly, thinking that her third uncle's idea was absolutely perfect.
"Third Uncle, this is a good idea. Why don't you take charge of this? I think the bank would be happy to do business with us."
Shen Shuli couldn't help but give Su Yunlin a thumbs up.
"Hehehe, no problem, leave it to me, I guarantee I'll complete the mission." Su Yunlin grinned smugly.
Lin Xiuxiu never expected her husband to come up with such a good idea.
I never expected that my husband and my second brother's family would get along so well recently.
She felt much more at ease and comfortable in an instant.
Fortunately, her husband was clever and somehow managed to win over her second brother's family.
The second brother's family suddenly received gold and silver jewelry worth more than 500,000 taels of silver.
Even a tiny bit peeking out from between their fingers would be enough to ensure the three wives a lifetime of comfort and security.
Unfortunately, she was unable to have a son.
'How about we try harder these next few days? Maybe we can still have a baby?'
Thinking of this, Lin Xiuxiu's gaze towards Su Yunlin became much more disgusted.
Su Yunlin didn't know why this woman was looking at him like that.
But he's a nobody in the entertainment industry, and also the son of the Su family.
What kind of woman haven't I seen?
He could tell what this woman was thinking just by looking at her.
Thinking about his relationship with her, Su Yunlin instantly got goosebumps and quickly turned his face away to avoid looking at her.
Lin Xiuxiu: "..."
Has this jerk taken the wrong medicine lately? How long has it been since he touched me?
He must have gotten cocky lately because he thinks he's become more capable!
They're bullying her because she doesn't have a son to back her up, aren't they!
Seeing her third brother and sister-in-law exchanging glances, Cui Yuhong felt a pang of jealousy.
She glared at Su Yunshan, feeling that her husband was too useless!
Su Yunshan felt a burning gaze on him from behind, frowned and turned around to look.
He met Cui Yuhong's terrifying gaze.
Cui Yuhong was surprised that he was looking right at her, and her expression froze for a moment.
She moved closer to Su Yunshan, displeased, as if she wanted to say something.
Seeing this, Su Yunshan gave her no chance and quickly stood up and moved far away.
Cui Yuhong was furious.
This dog man!
I'm starting to dislike myself more and more lately!
I've washed myself thoroughly from head to toe, inside and out, these past few days!
Why does he still despise himself like that?!
Besides.
These days.
Cui Yuhong felt that Su Yunshan was strange in every way.
Even the behavior of her parents-in-law and her third brother became increasingly strange.
My husband had a falling out with the third son several years ago.
As a result, the two of them have been spending every day together these past few days, and no one knows what they're secretly plotting.
And my in-laws, why have they become so gentle and easy to talk to lately?
They were all different from the previous ones.
Especially my mother-in-law.
In Cui Yuhong's eyes.
The mother-in-law was originally a crude, ignorant, and mindless old woman from the countryside who only knew how to torment her daughter-in-law.
Why did they suddenly become so knowledgeable and reasonable, and why do their words and actions make people feel happy and relaxed?
Could it be...
Cui Yuhong suddenly felt a shiver run down her spine as she thought of something.
Could they be possessed by a ghost?
