“Yes, Miss,” Chu Tao replied happily. She had long been unhappy with this cousin.
Su Qiao’s face darkened as she brought Chu Tao home. She wanted to take out a few items to fool her. That idiot Su Yan couldn’t possibly remember all the things she had lent out every time!
As Su Qiao was pondering this, she brought Chu Tao to her private storeroom.
As soon as she opened the door, Su Qiao’s face darkened when she saw the booklet that Chu Tao was holding.
Chu Tao did not care about Su Qiao’s expression. Su Yan did not want to record down the things that Su Qiao had borrowed, because she had never thought of getting them back.
But Chu Tao was different. Su Yan was gullible, but she had been watching from the side all this time..
At this moment, Chu Tao was extremely glad that she had remembered all the things that Su Qiao had borrowed, as well as the time and the reason for the rhythm clearly.
“Miss Su Qiao, since you’re ready, I’ll start reading. Spring of the 25th year, you borrowed a high-class Hetian jade pendant because you were attending the banquet of the daughter of a royal member. Spring of the 25th year, you borrowed a gold-threaded jade bracelet because you were attending the princess’ birthday. Spring of the 25th year...”
Su Qiao’s expression became more and more unsightly as Chu Tao read on. She did not expect her to remember so much in detail. She did not even have the chance to fool her.
She had underestimated this Su Yan. She had lent her things so readily back then. She had probably been waiting for this day.
Su Qiao thought that all of this was because of Su Yan. Then she had really overestimated the Su Yan of her previous life.
Compared to Su Qiao’s unhappiness, Hatsumomo was getting more and more excited as she took Su Yan’s things one by one from Su Qiao’s storeroom.
Think about it. Her own things had been stolen, and she thought that she would never be able to return. But one day, the thief returned the things by himself. How could she not be excited about this feeling?
In the end, Su Qiao looked at her small private warehouse that had shrunk by two-thirds. There were still a few things that were with Zhao Xiaofeng. Zhao Xiaofeng was crying and screaming, refusing to take things out. Taking all these out was equivalent to taking her life.
Su Qiao looked at Chu Tao’s mocking gaze. She almost wanted to slap Zhao Xiaofeng to death. She forced herself to give the items back to Chu Tao when she didn’t even give them away. Instead, she angrily told Chu Tao to leave with the items.
Hearing Su Qiao say that they didn’t care about these things, Chu Tao wanted to laugh. who was the one who shamelessly wanted to leave back then? Now, they became the ones to say that they don’t care. Heh.
However, Chu Tao did not care about their attitude. After completing the task, she walked out in a good mood. Fortunately, she was prepared and brought two servants with her. Otherwise, she would have really walked out with so many things.
Not to mention, Chu Tao had also brought people with her and carried the things out. It was indeed in line with what Zhao Xiaofeng had said to Su Yan today about confiscating the family. However, the one who was confiscated was not the Su family’s generosity, but the Su family’s second son.
Even after Chu Tao had left, Zhao Xiaofeng was still crying loudly. Su Qiao was really helpless against her, but Su Qiao also hated Su Yan to a certain extent.
They could be considered to have completely shed all pretenses of cordiality. Fortunately, Old Master Su had been taken away, and the Su family’s main branch was on the verge of collapse.
In the future, it would be the Su family’s second branch’s turn to be in charge. Thinking of this, Su Qiao felt much more comfortable.
“Alright, mother, don’t cry. The eldest wife is here. From now on, our second wife will be in charge. All of Su Yan’s things are ours. Don’t be so short-sighted.”
Su Qiao’s tone was filled with disdain. What she hated the most was this unpresentable mother who could not be changed. Su Qiao often fantasized about how great it would be if her mother was madam Su.
