Chapter 462 50 taels of snow-patterned silver
The old lady cried:
"Boss, who am I working so hard for? Isn't it for this family?! Any expenditure in the mansion is not counted as silver. It is only Su Min, the living dead, who spends thousands of taels of silver every month for pills! In my opinion, it would be a good deed to bury her directly!"

There was a cold glow in Su Jiu's eyes.

Before he could make a sound, Lu Guogong's old fist hit the table heavily!
The good pear wood table case is instantly torn apart!
The hall was silent.

Lu Guogong sneered, "Minmin's expenses over the years are all included in my salary! 50 taels of snow pattern silver, you feel your conscience, where did it go?!"

The old lady couldn't say no to him, wiped away her tears, and stood up with the support of her two daughters-in-law.

She stopped pretending, and said lazily: "Anyway, you are the one who put the debt on the bill, so even if the trouble comes to the government, I'm justified! Back then you robbed your younger brother of the Duke's title, so what's the point of compensating a few dollars now? "

Su Jiu looked even colder.

Her own father is the legitimate son of the duke's mansion, the old lady is just a successor, how dare she ask for the duke's title?
How does she have face? !

The girl looked at Lu Guogong.

The man who was born with a straight gut was already trembling with anger, "I am not sorry for my two younger brothers. If I eat meat, they will eat meat. If I drink soup, they will get the same soup from me!" You insult my wife and children, and want my title, do you really think I'm a fool?!"

The old lady also said that Su Jiu no longer wanted to listen to her.

She sat down on the big chair, stroked her wide sleeves, and said in a cold voice, "Brother."

Lu Cunwei, who was standing beside him stupidly, said "ah".

"Take your father's soldiers and search the backyard of the old lady and uncle and uncle immediately. If you can't find any money, search for antique jewelry. If you can't find antique jewelry, bring all the valuables."

The girl was decisive, leaving no room for the old lady.

The old lady became anxious, and suddenly stomped her cane, "Su Jiu, how dare you?!"

Su Jiu picked up the teacup slowly, "Either hand over the money, or split up. Grandma chooses one."

The old lady was speechless.

How could she separate the family, her two sons are low in official rank, mediocre and incompetent, and they have offended countless ministers by virtue of their birth in the Duke's Mansion.

If there was no Lu Guogong as a big tree to block the wind, they wouldn't be killed by their political opponents? !
Zhenzhen and Xiangxiang have also reached the age of marriage, and the matchmaker will introduce them to a good marriage because their uncle is the Duke of the country. If they split up...

She won't get any benefit!

Lu Cunwei was also clever, taking advantage of the old lady's silence, he quickly summoned his own soldiers and rushed to the backyard.

They found countless gold and silver treasures.

When they moved to Jiangheting yard to count, Su Jiu swept over them slightly, feeling a burst of disappointment.

These things are converted into cash, and they are only worth 17 taels.

Although there are few masters in the Duke's Mansion, there are as many as a thousand servants.

Coupled with the extravagance of the second and third bedrooms and her elder brother, several mistresses headed by the old lady go to her natal family to collect money all day long, and the remaining few 10 taels may not be found.

Su Jiu coldly ordered Lu Cunwei to drive the crying old lady and others back to the backyard, and ordered the housekeeper to bring the roster of maids and servants in the mansion, and cut them off drastically.

With a swipe of her pen, most of the thousands of servants and maids were sent away directly.

The butler carried it out with trepidation.

Jiangheting has already lit the lamp.

It was only then that Su Jiu noticed that Lu Guogong had been staring at him.

She said softly, "Dad blames daughter for making her own decisions?"

Duke Lu shook his head.

The steel-like man lifted Su Jiu up, with tears in his eyes, "My daughter has grown up... Without you, this family would not be a family in a few years."

Su Jiu felt that he had grown up, and he was a little ashamed to be held high by him like this.

She lowered her eyelashes, "My daughter still has 20 taels of banknotes, which will be returned to Lufeng Bank together with the collected treasures, and the monthly interest can be reduced. The rest of the arrears, my daughter will find a way."

For the first time in Lu Guogong's life as a soldier, he hated himself for not collecting some wealth from the battlefield.

Su Jiu told him to put himself down, and asked, "Who asked father to sign those owed bills?"

Duke Lu frowned and looked into the corner.

Lu Jiaoyi sat timidly in the corner.

When she was finally called, she got up timidly with tears in her eyes, "Father, sister, I was also deceived by my grandmother. Over the past few years, she gave me many bills for expenses in the house, and asked me to show them to my father. I didn't know that under the bill there was an owed receipt secretly, so I fell into her trap..."

Su Jiu knew there was a trick.

Using special means, two layers of paper of different lengths are covered together. On the bright side, it looks like one sheet, but in fact, the place where the signature is placed is the next layer of paper.

Lu Jiaoyi stepped forward and grabbed Lu Guogong's sleeve, sobbing and crying, "Daddy, I really didn't do it on purpose! You know, I'm always careless, even Daddy can't tell the difference, I've never seen the world How can you tell the difference between a deep boudoir and a weak woman?"

After all, it was the daughter that he had loved for many years.

Lu Guogong patted her on the head, "Don't cry, I don't blame you!"

"Wooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooese daddy!" to sit securely."

Lu Guogong was actually very displeased with Lu Jiaoyi marrying into the East Palace.

He didn't want to be related to the royal family.

But she couldn't bear Lu Jiaoyi's begging all day long, so she was forced to agree.

Although the imperial decree of marriage has been issued, the prince has no intention of getting married so far. After all, the prince is so beautiful, and Lu Jiaoyi has lost a leg...

He looked at Su Jiu who was sitting upright drinking tea, and suddenly said seriously: "Jiaojiao, your father and I are good at fighting, but dealing with the family's grievances is not as good as Xiaojiu. So Dad decided that in the future, all matters in the house should be dealt with. Your sister is in charge. As for when you will marry into the Eastern Palace, it is up to your sister to decide."

"what?!"

Lu Jiaoyi was dumbfounded.

Lu Guogong laughed, "You sisters will support each other from now on, and Dad is waiting to enjoy your blessings!"

He left after saying that.

Lu Jiaoyi was so angry that she grabbed the handkerchief tightly, took a hard look at Su Jiu, turned around and left.

Su Jiu took a sip of tea, and said in a calm voice, "Sister, wait a minute."

Lu Jiaoyi turned her head impatiently, "What else is there?!"

"Now that the mansion is in trouble, we must save up to 50 taels of silver as soon as possible. My sister is also a part of the mansion, so she should contribute."

Lu Jiaoyi had a bad feeling in her heart.

Sure enough, Su Jiu smiled lightly in the light, "I took out 20 taels, and my sister took out 3 taels, it should be fine, right? I remember back in Jinling City, when your mother picked it up, it was 1 taels of silver bills." Woolen cloth."
