Daughter of the Prince of Rebirth

Chapter 256
"Don't tell me, the eldest miss said that the money was lost in our hands, and she will take the money from us. Even if we tell her that you took the money, she will ask us for it..."

Murong Yu never said these words, but when Aunt Zhang was managing the shop, she was somewhat harsh to the shopkeepers, now that Aunt Zhang is in trouble, how could the shopkeepers miss the golden opportunity to humiliate and torture her.

"I've tried everything, but I can't raise any money. What do you think we should do?" Aunt Zhang was completely desperate. She thought of many ways to raise money, but she couldn't get any money. Tomorrow is the deadline. She really couldn't think of a good way.

"It seems that she really has no money, what should I do, boss?" A shopkeeper turned his gaze to the oldest shopkeeper.

The big shopkeeper frowned and thought for a moment, then glanced back and forth at Aunt Zhang: "Zhang Yulan is still short of 6 taels of silver. If the 12 of us share equally, each of us will get 5000 taels. Although the eldest lady is serious, she is not a mean person. How about, The 12 of us will ask the eldest lady for instructions tomorrow, and each will pay 5000 taels to Zhang Yulan for emergency..."

"Boss, what do we gain by doing this?" The shopkeepers are all shrewd and capable businessmen, who will do the loss-making business without profit.

The big shopkeeper smiled, and said with indescribable treachery: "Zhang Yulan is the aunt of the Hou Mansion. She is well maintained and looks good. It seems that she is not yet 30 years old. If she is sold to a brothel to pick up customers, she should be able to earn a lot. silver……"

"I am the daughter of the Yushifu, aunt of the Houfu, you despicable and shameless villains, how dare you treat me like this..." Aunt Zhang gritted her teeth angrily, and the cold wind shone in her beautiful eyes: From the daughter of the Yushi to the brothel Prostitute, that's one heaven and one underground, thanks to these filthy villains who dared to think of such a way to harm themselves...

"If you don't want to be a lowly prostitute, just obediently hand over the 6 taels of silver!" The big shopkeeper said through gritted teeth, with deep disdain and sarcasm in his eyes: "We'll wait until tomorrow morning, if you still can't get the taels , Don't blame us for being rude!"

Standing up, the big shopkeeper walked forward without looking back. The other shopkeepers also looked at Aunt Zhang mockingly, and followed the big shopkeeper to leave. In the wind, there was a stern warning from the big shopkeeper: "Remember, you only There is half of the night left, and tomorrow morning, we will come to get the money!"

Aunt Zhang sat there blankly, twitching the corners of her mouth, trying to laugh, but she couldn't. Although there was no mirror in front of her, she knew that her smile was definitely uglier than crying: half a night, 6 taels of silver, Where can I get it? If you sell yourself, it's not worth 6 taels of silver...

"When" Aunt Zhang lowered her head in pain, her hair was loose in a bun, and the hairpin on the blue silk fell to the ground, Aunt Zhang's eyes lit up suddenly, there was a place where many priceless jewelry were stored, how could she forget it.

When the midnight arrived, the capital returned to silence, and everything in the world seemed to have fallen into a deep sleep. The streets were empty, and there was no one in sight. The cold wind blew through the branches, making whining sounds.

The Zhumen of Zhongyonghou's Mansion was closed tightly, and two lanterns were burning above the gate. The candlelight was flickering, and images danced.

The back door is pitch-black, and because of the long alley, it is even more mysterious.

Suddenly, a slender figure appeared at the entrance of the alley, looking around for no one, walked quickly to the back door, knocked lightly, the door knocked very rhythmically, twice lightly, twice hard, three times slowly, Three times anxious.

After a while, the back door opened, and the slender figure ushered in: "Nurse Zang, how is the matter going?" After entering the door, the slender figure couldn't wait to ask, if he failed, he would be in great trouble tomorrow.

"Don't worry, Auntie, I have done everything according to your instructions." With the faint light, Zangmama saw that Auntie Zhang's face was bruised and purple, her clothes were a little torn, and her hands were even more outrageous. , wearing a bandage: "Auntie, what's wrong with you?"

Aunt Zhang smiled disapprovingly: "Something happened, it's nothing serious, there's no one around, right?"

Aunt Zhang didn't want to mention this matter, and it was inconvenient for Mammy Zang to ask more questions. She looked around cautiously and lowered her voice: "There is no one around, Auntie is coming with Mammy!"

Aunt Zhang and Madam Zang were very familiar with the Hou Mansion, they carefully avoided the patrolling guards of the Hou Mansion, and came to a courtyard adjacent to the Songshou Hall, where the old lady's dowry and nearly half of the income of the Hou Mansion were stored.

The matter is of great importance, and there are two people guarding the small courtyard all the time. However, the two guarding the courtyard are lying on the table, sleeping soundly, and two empty wine glasses fell on the ground...

"What did you give them to drink?" Looking at the two sleeping people, Aunt Zhang was not at ease: "What if we get half of the things and they wake up?"

Zang Nanny smiled confidently: "Don't worry, Auntie, I gave them the Qionghua wine that the master deserves to drink. There will be a day and a night, and they won't be able to wake up..."

"Drunk for so long?" Aunt Zhang frowned, "Will it arouse suspicion?" Drunk only wakes up after a day and a night, as smart as an old lady, she will definitely have doubts...

"Don't worry, Mammy has made all the preparations. After my aunt leaves, Mammy will pour them hangover soup!" Mammy Zang smiled triumphantly, "It's their fault for getting drunk while the guards, the old lady blames it , no one can afford it, as long as there is something on the surface, they dare not say anything..."

"Thank you Mammy for your help!" Aunt Zhang was very grateful. The world only loves icing on the cake, but it is very difficult to send charcoal in the snow.

"Auntie, it's locked inside and out, how do you get things?" Looking at the closed door, thinking about the big and small locked boxes inside the house, Mammy Zang was in trouble.

"Don't worry, I've prepared for it." Aunt Zhang took out a key like a magic trick, "This is a special key I specially asked the locksmith to make, and it can open two locks."

Saying that, Aunt Zhang put the key into the lock hole on the door and twisted it. The door lock was unlocked. Before Mammy Zang was surprised, Aunt Zhang opened the door and walked into the room. Aunt Zhang was walking slowly among the boxes, scanning back and forth, her eyes stopped on a treasure chest made of pure gold, her joy was beyond words, and it was this box.
