Chapter 1148: 1148 Escape 1 Chapter 1148: 1148 Escape 1 Her tone was especially surprised, yet her expression was distressed.
Su Qingyue had no idea what he ant and seriously did so calculations before nodding.
“Mhm, that’s about right.
Didn’t you say before that you’d sell for one thousand six hundred taels?
In my heart, your value has recently increased by four hundred taels.
That’s quite a steep price increase.”
“My dear, I was wrong.” He imdiately bowed his head like a defeated rooster, “I was only joking with you before, one thousand six hundred taels with any number of zeros added—I wouldn’t sell you.”
“Oh.” She patted his shoulder with a sigh, “Second brother, it’s truly an honor for to be more important than money in your heart.
I can rest assured entrusting myself to you.”
“Entrusting what?” He imdiately wanted to hug her.
“Your person?”
“No.” She pushed him away, “My money.” Saying this, she took a moneybag out of her bosom, “All my money is in here, for you.”
He didn’t accept it, “Isn’t it always the wife who manages the money in a family?
You just keep it.”
Su Qingyue pushed the moneybag into his hands, her tone somber, “Second brother, being able to save you is my only remaining wish.”
“My dear, don’t be like this,” he said, unsettled as if she were talking about her death.

Smiling, he pushed the money back to her, “We’ve escaped a great disaster; we should be happy about that.”
“I’m really about to die.” She said this with such feeling, “If you don’t believe , ask second brother.”
Xiao Yishan had been watching the two share a deep affection.
He had promised to do everything he could for Yue’er and third brother, yet he felt powerless.
“Ask what?”
“Second brother doesn’t know about that yet.”
“What are you talking about?” Xiao Yuchuan wrapped his arms around Su Qingyue, “My dear, don’t be so mysterious.”
“Mysterious my ass.” She huffed, “I was also startled.”
Seeing Chuan’s expression, Xiao Yishan knew he really didn’t know.
Probably Yue’er had learned of the murder case upon returning to the village and had not yet had ti to tell third brother after rushing to save him, “Third brother, Zhu Daqi is dead.”
Xiao Yuchuan’s face was filled with confusion, “So he’s dead, what’s that to do with my dear?” His wife had been bought from the Zhu Family, and those people at the Zhu Family had treated her so poorly; if soone from the Zhu Family died, let alone one person, even if they all died, he would of course want to applaud.
“The governnt office suspects that dear killed Zhu Daqi.” Xiao Yishan’s words fell.
Xiao Yuchuan’s mood for cheering vanished, he looked at Su Qingyue, “Dear, did you kill soone?”
“That’s what the people at the governnt office say.” She did not directly answer, “So, third brother, I’ll soon be sitting in prison.
You’d better make sure to take good care of the prison head, don’t let suffer too much hardship in there.
After a while in prison, I’ll probably be beheaded.”
“My dear, don’t be so pessimistic.” Xiao Yuchuan held her tightly, “It’s just a murder.
If you really did it, we’ll run away together; to the ends of the earth, no one will ever catch us.
And if you didn’t do it, I’ll find a way to clear your na.”
In fact, he felt a twinge of regret.
In these tis, a human life wasn’t worth that much.
If he had enough power in his hands, a murder case wouldn’t be able to touch his dear.
But regrettably, he, Xiao Yuchuan, was nothing but a village man.
Xiao Yishan also spoke gravely, “Third brother, Yue’er, you two should leave.
Go far away, to the ends of the earth.
No one will be able to find you.”
“…” Su Qingyue fell silent for a mont, “You all still don’t know how the Official Residence ca to suspect of murder.”
“I know.” Xiao Yishan recounted the confession Ding Er had given at the governnt office.
