At this moment, within the Su Residence, in Su Yuexi's courtyard.
Mei Xiaofang was anxiously tugging at Su Yuexi and loudly demanded, "Where is that criminal? Why can't he be found?"
Su Yuexi's complexion was somewhat pale, and her eyes were baggy from not having slept all night.
Yesterday, after Sikong Jing left the Hengyu Pawnshop, he said he was going to leave the city to retrieve the Jade hairpin. They had thought for sure that he would be stopped and brought back by the City Guard, but he had not returned home all night.
Now, Su Yuexi did not know whether Sikong Jing had managed to leave the city or had been captured and detained by the City Guard.
"Mother, Sikong Jing... he..."
Just as she was about to explain the affair with the Hengyu Pawnshop, suddenly Aunt Li's shrieking voice came from outside the courtyard, "Mei Xiaofang, we're here for our money. Your criminal son-in-law promised tenfold wages, and now you can pay us."
