Chapter 722: The Cannon Fodder Girl Forced by Her Own Father to Become a Substitute (5)
"Blame you?" Zhao Yanran was surprised.
"Yes, he blamed me for breaking his promise to be together forever. So, he gave it to your father, and the master gave him a sterilization pill."
The eldest lady's eyes were filled with uncontrollable affection, "He told him to have no other children for the rest of his life and to treat you wholeheartedly."
Zhao Yanran finally understood, "No wonder, no wonder you have ignored those concubines in the backyard all these years."
"Yanran, everything we do is for you! Your father said that he would find a way to rescue us! He has joined forces with the Fifth Prince, and when the matter is done, you will be the Fifth Prince's concubine, or even the Imperial Concubine or the Queen!" The eldest lady said in a low voice.
"Okay, I'll wait!" Zhao Yanran nodded.
But unfortunately, they might not be able to wait any longer.
Just as the mother and daughter were discussing Zhao Yanran's life experience, Su Li, who had sensed their conversation, had already gone to the Fifth Prince's Mansion.
Since Cheng Ping dared to act this way because he had the Fifth Prince as his backer, then Su Li might as well just overthrow his backer.
She went to the Fifth Prince's mansion, took away all the gold and silver treasures in the prince's treasury, and gave him a small gift.
Then, the next day, a rumor spread that the Fifth Prince had met a fairy in his dream and was enlightened by her, and decided to practice Taoism.
Afterwards, he bid farewell to the emperor and left the capital directly, heading to the Penglai Fairy Mountain to seek the way and a teacher.
Of course, that's a story later.
Cheng Ping was still locked in a room in Zhao Laosan's yard and was completely unaware of the situation.
He was trying to find someone to pass the news that the eldest lady, her daughter and he were imprisoned to the fifth prince, so that he would send someone to rescue them.
At this moment, Su Li had just left the Fifth Prince's Mansion and returned to Duke Zhao's Mansion.
There were still seven or eight hours before the raid on Duke Zhao's mansion the next morning, so she had to settle her original mother first.
On weekdays, few people come in and out of the greenhouse of Duke Zhao's mansion.
The original mother, Xu, was waiting anxiously.
Seeing Su Li coming in, she finally breathed a sigh of relief and hugged Su Li tightly, "Yu'er, you are so fine! So fine!"
"Well, I'm fine. Let's leave here soon." Su Li patted her back and comforted her.
"Okay, okay, but what are we going to do when we get out?"
The original mother said distressedly, "Over the years, my monthly allowance has been taken away by your father, and I don't have any money! If I had money, we could find a beautiful village where no one knows us, buy a few acres of land and plant some crops, that would be nice too."
Su Li curled her lips and took out the indentures of the mother and daughter and some silver bills that she had just brought back. "I was just dealing with these. The Duke Zhao's mansion will be raided tomorrow morning. With the silver and the indentures, let's leave!"
At the moment, everyone in Duke Zhao's mansion was in danger and unable to take care of themselves, so no one would notice them if they left quietly.
Seeing their banknotes, the original mother's eyes lit up, "Great! Now we have the indenture, we can go to the government office to cancel our slavery. Let's go, let's leave quietly through the back door now."
She took out the two people's spare clothes from the corner, and pulled Su Li away with ease.
By the time the two men hurried to the government office to cancel their slave registration, it was almost dark.
Su Li glanced at the bustling streets of the capital, "Mom, the city gates are closed now, let's find an inn to rest for the night!"
She still had one thing to do, so she needed to stay in the capital for a while.
That is the key to the treasure of the previous dynasty in Cheng Ping’s memory.
She had just sent a message to Suna in the companion space, asking her to look for something like a treasure key, but she hasn't found it yet.
She still needs to look for it herself.
"Well, mother knows which inn is cheap. Let's go!" The original mother seemed to have the same idea and took Su Li to the civilian area in the west city.
After arriving at the inn, Su Li insisted on having a room for each person.
Because the rent was cheap, the original mother followed her.
After returning to the room, Su Li summoned a spirit beast and transformed it into its original form.
And she entered the companion space.
"Master!" Nowadays, the companion space is managed by Su Na, who has the highest intelligence. When she saw Su Li coming in, she hurried forward to salute.
"Well, still haven't found it?" Su Li looked at the storage area where she put the things in.
"Yes, there are too many things here. The key doesn't have a clear appearance, so we don't know what it is." Suna said in confusion.
She pointed to some odd little objects placed separately on a square table nearby, "Now, these things look similar, but I'm not sure."
Su Li took a quick look and saw that they were all jade pendants and tokens.
"Tuanzi, do you know which is the key to the treasure of the previous dynasty?" Su Li asked softly.
Tuanzi appeared on her shoulder. [Tuanzi doesn't know either. But the treasures should be ordinary possessions, Tuanzi can't sense them! ]
Ever since the system was upgraded, it could no longer sense ordinary gold, silver, and jewelry, and could only sense treasures with spiritual energy.
"Okay!" Su Li touched his chin and began to think.
What she took back from the Duke's Mansion were all things from the warehouse.
It basically contains the dowry belongings of the three wives and the old lady of the Zhao family.
Ordinary people generally don't put the most important things in the warehouse.
Therefore, the key should still be in Duke Zhao's mansion.
The oldest person in Duke Zhao's mansion is Old Madam Zhao.
Therefore, she still had to go to Duke Zhao's Mansion.
Either the thing is still with her, or she has given it to someone else.
She moved and left the companion space.
In the courtyard of the old lady of Duke Zhao's mansion.
While it was dark and no one was around, she found a shovel and started digging up the osmanthus tree in the yard.
Zhao Laosan, who was standing by, asked in confusion, "Mom, why did you bring me here so late at night? What are you digging for?"
He was packing up to leave, but his mother told him to leave after dark.
After groping for a long time, the old lady took out a box covered with mud from the ground. "Son, our Zhao family depends on you now! This is the biggest secret of the Zhao family. Wait until you are in a safe place before opening it, okay?"
"Mom, what's in here?" Zhao Laosan asked curiously.
"Son, do you know that the ancestors of the Zhao family were orphans of the previous dynasty? They left these things behind to restore the previous dynasty. It's a pity that the news leaked out somehow, and in order to prevent their identities from being exposed, they have not dared to take any action."
Madam Zhao cleaned the dirt off the box and explained in a low voice, "Now, our family is penniless. If you want to save our lives, you can follow the drawings inside to look for treasures, okay? Your uncle's family will help you. Then you just need to divide the property with them equally."
"Okay, Mom, I'll listen to you! I'll go find my cousin." Zhao Laosan took the box and said solemnly.
Su Li, who was hiding nearby, quietly exchanged a brocade handkerchief and a jade pendant inside.
