Over here, Jinhuaxuan, inside the house.

After coming out of the warehouse, Old Madam Su and Su Bingyan, mother and son, returned to Jinhuaxuan.

At this moment, Zhu was still lying unconscious on the bed, with Su Xuan serving her by the bed.

Su Bingyan frowned slightly when he saw Zhu like this.

Madam Su saw that her son was getting impatient, and immediately said, "Everything in the storehouse is gone. So much gold, silver, jewelry, antiques, jades... and all the income from the business of the mansion over the years was managed by your wife. Now it's all gone. No one can bear it."

Su Bingyan: "I know what mother means, but even if something terrible happens, she should be able to handle it. She has been in charge of the prime minister's household for many years, and she actually fainted because of this. What a big deal."

Madam Su: "The storehouse was emptied for no apparent reason. If the deficit is not filled in time, the maintenance of the mansion will be in trouble. It will be difficult to collect the harvest from various places in our mansion for the time being. All of Shen's dowry has been handed over to Su Huan."

Su Bingyan frowned.

Madam Su then said, "You don't need to worry about these things. You just need to deal with the court. I am here to help the mansion. I will not let the prime minister's mansion lose face in front of outsiders."

Su Bingyan: "Thank you, mother."

Madam Su: "This is all for the Prime Minister's Mansion. There is no need for us to be polite to each other, mother and son."

Su Bingyan: "However, mother, this matter still needs to be investigated, but this matter..."

Madam Su: "When your wife wakes up, we will discuss this. We must investigate. You have been very troubled by the things outside. You should have lunch and take a rest. Just leave this to me."

Su Bingyan bowed to the person in front of him, "Mother, thank you for your help."

Madam Su: "Go ahead."

As soon as Su Bingyan left, Old Madam Su sat down on the chair next to her.

Su Xuan, who was guarding Zhu's bedside, knew a little bit about what her grandmother and father had just said. She immediately walked to her grandmother's side and called softly, "Grandma."

Madam Su looked at Su Xuan and said, "Don't worry, you don't have to worry about these things."

Su Xuan: "Grandma, how could all the things in the warehouse in the mansion disappear inexplicably? If you want to empty the warehouse, it will take a lot of noise."

Madam Su: "Xuan'er, the most important thing for you is to wait for your marriage with peace of mind. You don't need to worry about anything else."

Su Xuan: "Grandma hasn't had lunch yet, Xuan'er, please have someone prepare it."

Madam Su: "No, I'm not hungry either."

Just then, there was movement from inside.

Immediately, Madam Su and Su Xuan walked in.

Nanny Li was standing by, while Zhu, who was unconscious on the bed, was mumbling in her sleep.

"No... who is it, who is it... I will cut you into pieces."

Waves of fierce shouts spread out.

Suddenly, Zhu, who was lying on the bed, opened her eyes abruptly and sat up.

Su Xuan immediately went over and comforted her mother, "Mom, are you okay?" As she spoke, she used a handkerchief to wipe the sweat from Zhu's forehead.

Zhu's mind slowly calmed down and she saw the old lady was also there.

"Madam, all our accumulation over the years has vanished into thin air." Zhu said this word solemnly, and then she withdrew her gaze and fell on Su Xuan, her voice full of embarrassment, "Even the dowry prepared for Xuan'er has..."

Madam Su said in a serious tone, "This matter is serious, but don't let it ruin your dignity as the prime minister's wife. I and your husband are still here for everything."

Zhu: "Madam, I..."

Madam Su said, "Xuan'er, your mother has woken up. Go and ask someone to prepare a meal for the afternoon." She then said to Nanny Li and the others beside her, "You go with Xuan'er."

Su Xuan walked out, and Nanny Li and others followed her out.

Then, Madam Su sat down beside the bed and said in a cold tone, "What do you think is the possibility that this matter is related to Su Huan?"

Zhu: "Madam, this...is impossible."

Madam Su: "Su Huan is now very different from before. Just like this time, even the Hidden Killing Tower couldn't get rid of her."

Zhu: "But even the warehouse guards were not alarmed, and the treasures in our warehouse, especially the hidden secret room in the warehouse, how could we just..."

Madam Su: "Nothing is impossible."

Zhu: "Then, what is the old lady going to do? Does she have some magical power that can hide the entire storehouse of the prime minister's mansion? Is she not a human, but a ghost?"

Madam Su exhaled deeply and said, "Perhaps, I have to find an opportunity to meet Master Xuanzhen again."

This time, Zhu did not hesitate and asked directly: "Old Madam, what happened when you went to see Master Xuanzhen last time?"

Madam Su: "I just don't believe in evil. Master Xuanzhen's prediction said that since Su Huan survived the last drowning, she would be reborn like a dragon. If we attack Su Huan again, it will backfire on us. I thought that letting the assassins from the Hidden Killing Tower take action would be foolproof, but who would have thought that they would fail in the end? And right after that, the warehouse was inexplicably emptied."

As Zhu listened to the old lady's words, she began to think deeply, as if there really was a connection here.

"Old lady, this..."

Madam Su: "Alright, I will take care of this matter, and you don't need to worry too much. Now that things have come to this, you have to think about the arrangements for the future and deal with the outside world well. You are the mistress of the Prime Minister's Mansion. I will tell the people below about what happened in the mansion today, and no one will spread it. If we lose face outside, it will be really embarrassing."

Zhu: "Yes, old lady, I know my limits. It's just because it happened suddenly that I'm like this."

Madam Su: "Just remember it in your heart."

Not long after, Su Xuan and others came back.

Su Xuan: "Grandma, mother, lunch is ready."

Madam Su: "Go and help your mother up. You stay here with your mother and have a good meal. I will go back to Fuxi Hall first."

Then, Nanny Li and Chunying went over to help Zhu get up from the bed.

Zhu stood up and saw the old lady walking out. She also wanted to invite her to have dinner with her.

Madam Su: "Okay, let's not be so restrained. Just be casual. You got angry just now and fainted. Let's eat first and relax."

Zhu: “Yes.”

Afterwards, Old Madam Su left Jinhuaxuan directly.

Su Xuan accompanied Zhu to have dinner.

Zhu looked at Su Xuan, "Xuan'er, don't worry, it's okay, let's eat."
