Father, who is both a heir and a descendant, is still biased; the bound system has gone berserk.

"Manager Wei, send someone to follow her and see where she goes next."

Ying Yufu said calmly.

The shopkeeper immediately sent someone to secretly follow them out.

Before long, the man who had been sent out returned and reported: "Master, manager, I just saw Madam Ying go to Yu Rong Fang."

Ying Yufu immediately said, "Granny Cao, Chong'er, let's go."

She immediately led the two of them to Yu Rong Fang.

When Ying Yufu arrived at Yu Rong Fang, she didn't go through the main entrance; she entered through the back door and went directly to the inner hall.

The guards inside immediately bowed respectfully upon seeing her, saying, "Master of the Family."

Ying Yufu waved her hand, "No need to make a fuss."

The one who should be guarding is...

Through the curtain, Ying Yufu saw Liu Xueyan once again spending lavishly, spending eight thousand taels on a lot of rouge, face powder, and perfume.

Zao'er's eyes widened. "Miss, has she struck it rich?"

Ying Yufu nodded. "Obviously."

Then, she saw Liu Xueyan leave again.

Ying Yufu lifted the curtain and went out. The shopkeeper was surprised to see her and quickly stepped forward to greet her.

"Hua Niang greets the head of the household."

The owner of Yu Rong Fang was a woman.

She was in her early thirties, still quite attractive, and her husband's family also worked at the Mu family business.

Coincidentally, Hua Niang's husband, Manager Cheng, manages the Divine Craft Workshop, and now, Liu Xueyan is heading towards the Divine Craft Workshop.

Ying Yufu, engrossed in watching the spectacle, hurriedly led Granny Cao and Zao'er to chase after them.

As usual, she entered through the back door. Ying Yufu eavesdropped through the curtain and heard that Liu Xueyan actually wanted to buy mottled pebbles to pave the floor.

Even Chong'er, who was quite knowledgeable and followed Ying Yufu, couldn't help but gasp.

"Miss, even the imperial palace doesn't use many pieces of mottled stone for paving. Has Liu Xueyan gone mad?"

Ying Yufu nodded seriously. Indeed, Liu Xueyan had probably gone mad.

Fortunately, Liu Xueyan still had her senses; she only bought a portion of the mottled rock, and chose mottled bluestone slabs for the rest.

Even so, it was still quite extravagant.

"Luckily, we don't sell gold bricks here," the worm muttered.

Ying Yufu said, "Silly bug, isn't porphyritic rock rarer and more precious than gold bricks?"

The little insect nodded dumbfounded, "That's true."

Next, Liu Xueyan ordered a lot more exotic flowers and rare herbs.

They also hired skilled workers to repair the Weiyuan Marquis's residence.

With this series of actions, she spent 500,000 taels of silver.

That wasn't all; finally, Liu Xueyan went to Tianxia Money Shop.

Ying Yufu went in through the back door and heard Liu Xueyan exchange 20,000 taels of silver ingots and some loose silver before leaving.

Ying Yufu couldn't help but click her tongue in amazement.

Back at the Mu residence, Ying Yufu drank water to soothe her throat while recounting her experiences of the day to Shangguan Tang.

"Mother, you've been in charge of the household affairs of the Marquis of Weiyuan for eighteen years, and you've discovered they have other businesses?"

Shangguan Tang was also taken aback and said, "Impossible. Even if they were hiding it, it's impossible for them to hide it for eighteen years without me noticing anything."

"But judging from Liu Xueyan's momentum, it's clearly like she's become rich overnight."

Ying Yufu said.

"Get rich overnight?" Ying Zhuoxiu murmured from the side, "Could it be that he hid the money elsewhere, concealing it from Mother for eighteen years?"

Ying Yufu looked intently at Ying Zhuoxiu, "Yes, brother is right, it's very likely."

But then Ying Yufu angrily retorted, "If that's the case, why haven't they repaid the money they owe Mother?"

A sly glint flashed in Ying Yufu's eyes. "Mother, why don't we send someone over to urge them on?"

"Okay." Shangguan Tang looked at his two children with affection.

Liu Xueyan had been running around all day, and as soon as she returned, the person in charge came to report that Shangguan Tang had sent people to collect the debt.

"Didn't you say within three days? Why is she rushing us?"

Liu Xueyan frowned. So much money, nearly three million taels, it truly pained her heart.

But thinking about the current strength of their household, she sighed again.

"Fine, we can't disobey the imperial decree; we'll have to pay the price sooner or later."

As she spoke, she said to Biliu, "Biliu, go and fetch all the silver notes, along with the cash and loose silver we exchanged today."

Biliu agreed and sent someone to move all the things over.

With the silver notes and cash, Liu Xueyan counted out the money she owed Shangguan Tang, as well as the 20,000 taels of fine, and handed it to the steward.

"Manager Tian, ​​take this money to Shangguan Tang. Make sure others see it so that we can prove that we have repaid the money."

The person in charge should be.

At the Mu residence, after seeing Steward Tian off, Ying Yufu couldn't help but look at Shangguan Tang with immense pity.

My mother has been in charge of the Marquis of Weiyuan's mansion for ten years, working tirelessly, but I never imagined that they would keep such a big secret from her.

"They are clearly so rich, yet they pretend to be poor and make Mother give them their dowry. It's outrageous."

Ying Yufu said angrily.

He then narrowed his eyes slightly, "Could it be that they've been hiding this money because it's ill-gotten gains?"

"Fu'er is so smart," Ying Zhuoxiu chuckled.

Shangguan Tang also said, "This money should absolutely not be shown to others easily. Now, Ying Nanyao is probably also desperate, which is why he took this money they hid."

"She shouldn't be showing herself off easily, yet Liu Xueyan is being so high-profile?"

Ying Yufu smiled.

The Second Prince's Mansion.

Ying Hengzhi looked at the money sent by her family's messenger, her eyes slightly deep.

Seeing her staring blankly at those things, Steward Tian couldn't help but call out, "Miss?"

Ying Hengzhi snapped out of her daze and smiled at Steward Tian, ​​saying, "Steward Tian, ​​thank you for making this trip. When you get back, tell Grandmother that I miss her very much."

Manager Tian smiled and nodded before leaving.

After leaving the Green Bamboo Courtyard, Steward Tian couldn't help but shake her head and sigh. The place she was living in now was not as good as when she was at her parents' home.

What a terrible thing to do.

Inside the house, Ying Hengzhi stared at the silver and expensive clothes and jewelry sent by the Ying family, lost in thought.

In her dream, she seemed to have overheard Ying Nanyao mentioning to Lao Liu that their family had a treasure.

However, because it was obtained illegally, it cannot be used.
