Time passed day by day, and Su Li went to the Chinese Academy of Pangfu to practice hard every day as usual. However, when he came back every day, he would wait for a while in front of the door to see if his elder brother would come back in the evening.
After visiting Dali Temple at night, she understood Su Qingtan's difficulties. As long as she got through the negative stage of the Seven Feathers Xuan Gong, the familiar big brother would come back.
However, just because she knows it doesn't mean that the people in the Su family also know.
At first, under the threat of Su Qingtan's remaining power, the Su family maintained peace. However, after Zhu Yan recovered from her illness, she didn't know what she said to Su Huanli, and Su Huanli immediately cut off Su Li's money.
"Miss, the third young lady has been very close to several rich young masters recently. The master was very happy when he heard about it, so he doubled the monthly salary of the third young lady."
Nanny Li told Su Li what she heard from the maid. If it were in Yunjing City, she wouldn't have the energy to ask for news. Speaking of which, it all depends on Li Yuelian to take care of the housework in the past few months. Although the servants she hired are called It's not that good, but it's not as evil a slave as Aunt Zheng used to be. The Zhu family's hands obviously cannot reach Yunjing City.
"I understand, Auntie." Su Li nodded and smiled helplessly, "If it's over, just cut it off. I still have the monthly salary from the side office, which is enough for living expenses. Aunty, nanny, you should also take care of it. Come live with me in Pangfu."
Zhu Yan had been lying in bed for many months, and she didn't know how much anger she felt in her heart. She would be a little worried if Nanny Li was allowed to stay alone in the Su Mansion. The Chinese Studies Institute was her territory. No matter how much Zhu Yan made a fuss, Su Huanli felt that she was not allowed to go to the Chinese Studies Institution to embarrass herself.
With this thought passing through his mind, Su Li was suddenly stunned and fell silent immediately.
She is no longer the person she was in her previous life who could give up anything and betray anything. Everything has changed...
"Hey, miss."
Aunt Li agreed and went back to clean up, but found nothing strange about Su Li.
This is not the first time she has moved out of the Su Mansion. Nanny Li seems to be familiar with the situation and does not have much worries in her heart. The young lady is no longer the weak woman who had no power to protect herself, but has become mysterious and powerful!
As long as she serves the lady, she is not afraid of anything.
Su Li's luggage was as light as ever. It was just two boxes, which were loaded onto the carriage in a few seconds. Except for a few more expensive shirts and dresses that Su Qingtan bought for her, they were exactly the same as before, all simple and plain-colored clothes. There is even less jewelry.
When she came to the side house and saw the crooked plaque, Nanny Li carefully carried the box and followed Su Li in. Seeing Su Li's obviously relaxed expression, she couldn't help but sigh to herself. Compared with Su Mansion, this place was inferior. It's more like a young lady's home.
The Guoxue Mansion is very wealthy. Although it was "thiefed" and everything in the next manor was moved, when Su Li reported the situation, new furniture was resettled for her the next day. According to Su Li himself After decorating it according to my own ideas, it will be much more comfortable to live there.
"Nanny, there is no cooking place in the side house. When it's meal time, you can just take the food box to the canteen of the Chinese Academy of Sciences and pick up a box. However, the Chinese Academy of Sciences only provides one meal. Sooner or later, it will be up to you to find a way."
When Su Li informed her, Grandma Li smiled and said, "Miss, don't worry. At worst, I can rent a kitchen from a nearby house and it won't cost a lot of money."
While Su Li nodded, she handed the identity jade token to Grandma Li and said, "Go and get your monthly salary."
Aunt Li took it and went out immediately. Seeing that it was almost evening, she had to quickly finish what the young lady ordered before preparing dinner.
Speaking of which, she had been a lecturer in the palace for nearly three months. She had been practicing in a secret room and had never received a salary. With the consumption level of Yunjing City, Grandma Li could have received several hundred taels of silver.
With this thought passing through her mind, Su Li shook her head and smiled. It didn't matter if she didn't eat. It's just that her superficial identity was only the eighth level of the day after tomorrow, so she still had to show off.
Not long after, Grandma Li came back with an ugly look on her face, holding the jade token tightly in her hand, and didn't say anything for a long time.
Su Li frowned and asked, "What's wrong? Nanny."
"well… "
Grandma Li sighed, put the jade plaque on the table, and said dejectedly: "Miss, the people from the Chinese Academy of Sciences said that all your salary was taken away two days ago! It seems to be... the third lady."
Su Li raised her brows and said nothing, and Grandma Li added: "The manager said that according to the rules of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, you must see the jade plaque before you can get your salary, but the third lady is so messy, it is really a headache, plus the previous In the case, the third lady showed her face, and her identity cannot be faked. The steward couldn't bear it, so he gave her a salary, a full two thousand taels of silver! If it falls into the hands of the eldest lady, it must be... "
You can't get any of it back!
Su Li narrowed her eyes slightly, Zhu Yan had obviously planned to block her way of survival. The Su family pays half a month's worth of monthly payment, and it's just a few days after half a month. If she didn't have another income, now would be the time when she is most in need of money.
Su Li smiled slightly, took out a thousand taels of silver notes from her arms, and handed it to Nanny Li.
When Grandma Li saw the banknote, her eyes widened and she stammered: "Miss... Where did this money come from? Don't be confused!"
"Of course it's the winery's profit." Su Li explained warmly, "It's just that Lili Residence cannot be known to the family, so I'll have to trouble you to put on a show with this banknote."
As soon as she heard about Linliju, she suddenly realized that she had almost forgotten that the young lady had another property of her own, but now they were far away in Yunjing City. How did they get the money from the winery? Could it be that they had been hiding it all along
Grandma Li was full of weird thoughts. She washed the lady's clothes every day, but she didn't see any money notes.
"Miss, how should I act in this play? Even if you let me sell it in a brothel, I won't be able to make so much money in one night."
Su Li almost spit out a mouthful of tea when she heard this, "... Just pick it up on the road."
Grandma Li blushed and nodded shyly.
Later, under Su Li's guidance, Nanny Li chose a place with not too many people but pretended to have picked up a banknote. Although her acting skills were very exaggerated, due to the attraction of money, no one noticed.
Things like getting something for nothing can always spread far, not to mention that Zhu Yan is paying attention to Su Li's situation all the time. When she heard the news, her healthy body almost collapsed with anger.
"Is this damn girl really my nemesis?!"
Panting heavily, Zhu Yan's face turned pale.
She had been planning for many days before she came up with a way to cut off Su Li's money and food while Su Qingtan was away. Although Su Li wouldn't starve to death, it could still make her hungry, right? In this way, the chance of Su Li's biological father finding her and getting to know her would be much smaller, and they would be safe.
But... God actually let that damn girl pick up a thousand taels for nothing!
This is equivalent to four months of regular payment!
Four months later, Su Qingtan should have come back no matter what. She was not that idiot like Su Huanli. Su Qingtan's protective feelings for Su Li had changed. Although she didn't know why Su Qingtan pretended to be cold, she was sure This attitude will not last long.
Zhu Yan was anxious in her heart. During the three months she had been lying in bed, she had not stopped thinking all the time. However, her little energy could not be used in a place like Yunjing. If that mysterious woman had not appeared, where would Zipei be now? Being able to hook up with so many wealthy people to get information.
"No! We must let Zipei find the owner of the jade pendant as soon as possible and recognize his ancestor. Otherwise, the longer it goes on, the smaller the chance will be!"
Su Li's social circle is slowly expanding. She is not sure whether Su Li's face looks like her parents. If it does... maybe someone will recognize her at the Autumn Hunting Meeting tomorrow.
She really doesn't have much time...
Zhu Yan could only pray now that Su Li would stay in the side house tinkering with the medicine jars instead of going to the Autumn Hunting Conference.
…
Early the next morning, Su Li woke up from her trance, had breakfast under the careful care of Grandma Li, and quickly changed into casual clothes and went out. She didn't forget that there was an autumn hunting meeting today.
Tang Lei came over to Pang Mansion a few days ago. Although he was still a little afraid that Su Li would give him medicine for diarrhea, his health is now much better than before. Even if he ran across a street, he would not feel out of breath. He naturally had this in his heart. gratitude.
Therefore, he came here specially to tell Su Li about the Autumn Hunting Conference.
After the Mid-Autumn Festival every year, Dahan Country will hold a grand autumn hunt, not only to symbolize the harvest season, but also to test the martial arts abilities of the younger generation!
Autumn hunting is the time when many unknown martial arts students become famous. The talents who gain the most during the autumn hunt will receive a large number of rewards from the royal family, and may even have the opportunity to enter the palace to meet the Holy Spirit!
The rewards here are not ordinary rewards. They may be magical weapons, mysterious skills that are hard to find, or secret treasures that are rare in the martial arts world!
In short, if there are disciples from poor families who want to leap over the dragon gate, today is an excellent opportunity!
Walking to the main entrance of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, there was a buzz of people.
Su Li saw rows of carriages driving away from the gate of the Chinese Academy of Sciences. There were also many children from poor families walking on foot. The age limit for the Autumn Hunting Conference was for young talents under the age of twenty-two, with cultivation levels above the fifth level of the day after tomorrow. , there are the most such institutions among Chinese universities.
"Speaking of which, Ling Ping is only twenty-one years old this year, and his cultivation level is at the first level..."
Su Li murmured, and couldn't help but feel strange in his heart. With these crooked melons and cracked dates, how could he be the opponent of Ling Ping, who had experienced many battles? This year's reward was almost given to Ling Ping, right
Just as she was thinking about it, Su Li suddenly heard someone calling her name again. She turned around and saw Tang Lei sticking his head out of the carriage and waving to him.
According to Tang Lei, Qiu Xie is not very safe. Even if you are just watching the excitement from the outside, you may be accidentally injured, so it is best not to act alone, especially for a "weak woman" like Su Li, so Tang Lei is very kind. He invited her to accompany him.
Su Li readily accepted Tang Lei's proposal. She had never met the famous Tang Xiang, so she took this opportunity to get in touch with him.
But when she stepped forward to lift the curtain and stepped into the carriage, seeing the situation inside the carriage, Su Li's smile immediately froze.
