Jiang Fuyao carried the box and went out. Jinxiu quickly reached out to take it. The master and servant pretended to go back to their yard and took out the silver notes and silver ingots. The silver notes were placed close to their bodies and the silver ingots were hidden on their bodies. They checked each other again in every corner to make sure that nothing was hidden on their bodies, and then they went out together.

After getting on the carriage again, Jiang Fuyao stroked his chest and said, "When we get to Jiang's house later, we just need to take out the banknotes. We can't reveal anything about the silver ingots."

Jinxiu nodded repeatedly and whispered: "Don't worry, girl, I understand."

Jiang Fuyao said "Hmm" and stopped talking.

The master and servant were silent all the way until the carriage stopped again. They got off the car one after another and went straight to Aunt Shu's yard.

Looking at the two thousand taels of silver notes in Jiang Fuyao's hand, Jiang Baisheng's eyes lit up and he raised his hand to take it: "Okay! She is indeed my good daughter! At the critical moment, you can still be relied upon!"

Jiang Fuyao retracted his hand. Jiang Baisheng's fingertips barely brushed against the banknote, but he failed to get it into his hand.

Jiang Baisheng was stunned: "What do you mean?"

Jiang Fuyao glanced at Aunt Shu, whose expression changed slightly, and said, "Father, you have to go to the Marquis Mansion for me first and complete the matter for me before I can give you this money."

"What?!" Jiang Baisheng's voice suddenly became much louder, "What do you mean?! Do you think I will covet your two thousand taels of silver?"

Jiang Fuyao pursed her lips and glanced at Aunt Shu again.

She didn't believe Jiang Baisheng in the first place, let alone Aunt Shu.

Anyway, now that the money is in her hands, she has the final say when to give it to her.

Jiang Fuyao took a deep breath and said, "Anyway, if we can't make peace, I won't give you this money even if I tear it up or burn it."

Jiang Baisheng said nothing, only stared at her.

Jiang Fuyao did not dodge and looked directly at him.

The two faced off for a long time before Jiang Baisheng gritted his teeth and nodded: "Okay, okay, okay! This is the good daughter I raised! She even learned how to blackmail her biological father! You are really promising! Great potential!"

Jiang Fuyao looked at his furious expression, but she didn't feel panic at all. Instead, she was filled with joy.

Apparently, she was right not to hand over the money as soon as she came back!

Otherwise, her father would most likely not go and divorce her, and even if he did, he probably wouldn't do his best.

While Jiang Fuyao was thankful, his heart felt cold.

"The second girl has been a mistress in the Hou Mansion for a few days, and she has really made great progress." Aunt Shu sighed abruptly.

Jiang Fuyao glanced at her: "My aunt is very complimentary, but compared to her, I am still much inferior. When I return home in the future, I will have to learn from my aunt."

Aunt Shu gritted her teeth.

Does this mean she is scheming?

Jiang Fuyao moved his eyes away from Aunt Shu and turned to Jiang Baisheng: "Father, don't worry, my daughter is the daughter of the Jiang family after all. As long as you pull her out of the sinking ship, I will give you these two thousand taels of silver with both hands. And from now on, I will be responsible for all my expenses at the Jiang family, and I will not use the public funds to make any cents."

Her words directly spoke to Jiang Baisheng's heart.

Jiang Baisheng raised his eyebrows: "Seriously?"

Jiang Fuyao nodded.

"Okay!" Jiang Baisheng slapped his thigh and stood up directly, "In this case, I will go to the Hou Mansion for a visit!"

Seeing this, Jiang Fuyao suddenly showed emotion: "Thank you so much, father!"

Seeing the father and daughter leaving in a hurry, Aunt Shu sneered and stopped paying attention.

Anyway, as long as the public money is not used, she doesn't care that much if there is one more person or one less person.

-

The front door was surrounded by people and it was impossible to walk out. Even if Jiang Baisheng didn't want to, he had to go out through the back door, get on the narrow carriage, and go to the Hou Mansion.

After getting off the car at the back door of the Hou Mansion, Jiang Baisheng was immediately unhappy: "Why, I am also the father-in-law of the Hou Mansion, and I can't even go through the front door?"

Jiang Fuyao said quickly: "Father misunderstood, but now the front door of the Marquis Mansion is also surrounded by people asking for money, and I really can't leave!"

Hearing this, Jiang Baisheng was a little surprised: "What happened to the Hou Mansion?"

Jiang Fuyao's face showed a bit of embarrassment and he told Li Juren what happened.

After Jiang Baisheng heard this, he couldn't help but sigh in his heart.

This is really a bad time. First it was the Jiang family, and now the Hou Mansion...

Jiang Baisheng frowned and suddenly felt something was wrong.

However, before he could think deeply, Jiang Fuyao had already urged him: "Father, please hurry up! If you are late, it will be too late!"

Thinking of the two thousand taels of silver, Jiang Baisheng did not dare to delay, so he responded quickly and hurriedly entered the Hou Mansion.

While walking along the way, Jiang Baisheng couldn't help but sigh at the wealth of the Hou Mansion: "Everyone says that the Hou Mansion is in decline, but I think there are still a lot of servants coming and going. Looking at the yard, it is still neatly tidied... After all, I agree with that sentence. By the way, a skinny camel is bigger than a horse!"

Listening to her words, Jiang Fuyao sneered in his heart.

Is a lean camel bigger than a horse?

Ha ha!

Now this camel has only one skin, and there is no flesh and blood inside!

Jiang Fuyao's expression remained as usual, and he led Jiang Baisheng to the old lady's yard in a familiar manner.

The old lady’s yard is much emptier than before.

Not only were there fewer servants coming and going, but there was also a strong smell of medicine lingering in the yard, which made it hard for people to imagine what the scene was like inside the house.

But Jiang Fuyao kept walking, and Jiang Baisheng couldn't say anything, so he had to bite the bullet and follow him.

In the room, the old lady lay haggard on the bed, as if she didn't even have a bit of life left.

Mother Liu is not in the house.

Hearing the sound of someone coming, the old lady half-opened her eyes and turned her head to look at the person.

Seeing Jiang Baisheng come in, the old lady's eyes suddenly widened, and she looked a little scary: "Jiang Fuyao, you brought a foreign man into my bedroom, what do you mean?!"

Seeing her like this, Jiang Fuyao couldn't help curling his lips: "Come on, mother-in-law, why are you so fussy when you're like this? My father is here to reconcile for me!"

As Jiang Fuyao spoke, he turned around to find pen, ink, paper and inkstone.

Jiang Baisheng stood by the door with some embarrassment. He just cupped his hands towards the bed and said, "That's right, old lady, I -"

Before he even started to speak, he was interrupted by the old lady's sneer: "Oh, back then you wanted to kowtow to me in order to send your daughter here. Now that you see the Hou Mansion in decline, you want to leave again?"

Mentioning the unbearable past, Jiang Baisheng pursed his lips and looked a little stiff.

In that room, Jiang Fuyao had already come over with a pen and ink: "Old madam, as the saying goes, things have changed. Now your family is leaving the capital, but my father is still an official of the court. When you meet my father in the future, whoever kowtows to whom will pay back?" Not necessarily!”
