I just want to live a good life

Chapter 458 Banknote

Su Nuan met Song Qi in Duobao Pavilion and felt strange so she asked him casually.

Without waiting for Song Qi to answer, Shopkeeper Chen answered for him.

"I asked him to give me some advice."

Afterwards, several people followed Manager Chen into the lounge of Duobao Pavilion specially prepared for distinguished guests.

As soon as we sat down, Shopkeeper Chen presented us with a box.

The box looks big, but it feels light in the hand.

"what is this?"

Su Nuan asked while weighing the box.

"Master, open it and have a look."

Seeing the happy look on Shopkeeper Chen's face, Su Nuan had already guessed what was inside.

She gently opened the box, and inside was a neatly arranged stack of silver bills, with a face value of one thousand taels. It was a thick stack, and there were probably dozens of them.

"Is this fifty thousand taels?"

"Yes, yes, not a penny less, fifty thousand taels in total."

Su Nuan was delighted.

One of the things she was worried about last night was whether she could get the full amount of silver. Now that the banknote was in front of her, she could finally rest assured.

But there was still one thing she needed to clarify, so she asked, "Who bought it?"

"It's a boss named Yue."

"Boss Yue." Su Nuan suddenly remembered what Baozhu said not long ago. She had seen Boss Yue buying flowers in the Prince's Mansion.

Could this Boss Yue be the one I know?

At this time, Song Qi spoke up, "After buying the bracelet, Boss Yue went to the old house of the Xun family and met Miss Xun."

Su Nuan asked about Boss Yue's appearance in detail and confirmed that he was Ying Shu's cousin.

This makes sense. Boss Yue is Ying Shu's man, and Ying Shu and Xun Zheng are siblings, so it makes sense for him to be under Xun Zheng's orders.

He was the one who bought the glass bracelet, and the silver came from Xun Zheng.

This realization made Su Nuan even happier.

Not only did he get back the 30,000 taels that Fusheng had taken away, but he also made an extra 20,000 taels. He couldn't help but laugh at the box of banknotes.

Suddenly, she seemed to have thought of something and said to Shopkeeper Chen, "Have you checked the authenticity of these banknotes?"

Shopkeeper Chen was stunned by the question. Having been a shopkeeper for so long, he had handled countless silver bills. Usually, he could tell the authenticity of a bill with just a glance.

He certainly hadn't checked the 50,000 taels of silver carefully.

Seeing his reaction, Su Nuan pushed the box directly in front of him.

Shopkeeper Chen quickly took out the banknotes and checked them carefully one by one.

It’s not that Su Nuan is too cautious, it’s that Xun Zheng is too cunning.

As Manager Chen continued to examine the items, his expression turned increasingly grim, and Su Nuan's heart began to hang in the balance again.

By the time all the banknotes had been checked, they had been divided into two.

Shopkeeper Chen pointed to the missing portion and said, "These are the only ones that are real."

"How many?"

"Thirteen."

Ten pieces equal ten thousand taels.

It was a high price for a string of glass, but it was far from what Su Nuan expected.

I was fooled by Xun Zheng again!

"Boss, it's all my fault. I didn't look carefully enough."

Ten of them. Su Nuan saw clearly when Manager Chen was checking the banknotes just now that these ten real banknotes were all placed on the top.

Unless you check them one by one, it would be hard to imagine that the rest are fake just by looking at the top ten.

Besides, the other party’s fake banknotes were so realistic that it was difficult to distinguish them.

"The other party did it on purpose. Even if you check carefully, you may have fallen into his trap."

Su Nuan's words comforted Shopkeeper Chen.

After working so hard for so long, she was fooled by Xun Zheng in the end. Su Nuan said words to comfort others, but she was extremely upset.

She took the stack of fake banknotes and thought about it.

After a while, Su Nuan waved to Song Qi, waited for Song Qi to come forward, whispered a few words in his ear, then took out a fake banknote in his hand and stuffed it into Song Qi's hand.

Song Qi looked at Su Nuan in surprise while holding the fake banknote, and asked for the first time, "Will this work?"
