Bab 901: Why did 901 take Li Gui's money?

"Then why did he still give you ten taels of silver?" Xiao Yishan asked about the odd part.

"How would I know?" she said indifferently, "He must have his reasons. It was agreed as hush money anyway, and I had already taken eight taels, so taking another two today doesn't bother me. That rascal Li Gui must be up to no good at Hanging Neck Mountain, something he doesn't dare let others find out about."

"Is that so." Xiao Yishan was noncommittal.

Looking at his expression, he didn't trust her.

Su Qingyue felt a surge of disappointment. Although she harbored no romantic feelings for her second brother and didn't expect such a trivial matter over ten taels of silver to breed mistrust, it still pained her for a second; but after that second, she couldn't care less.

A while later, a voice came from outside the courtyard, "Wife, wife, are you at home?"

Xiao Yuchuan's voice arrived before he did.

"I'm here." Su Qingyue responded.
