305. The Rise of the Original

Qi was trembling with anger. This was the money she had saved since she was a child, as well as the cash from her parents' dowry when she got married.

Because the things contained in this warehouse were all brought by her parents' dowry, she placed all the money in the mezzanine of this warehouse.

She thought that it would be unknown to her place, because after she got married, she asked someone sent by her parents' family to do it alone. Even her husband Yuan Xueshun knew, but who knew that the money hidden inside disappeared.

Qi was not sure whether these gold and silver had anything to do with the disappearance of Dow.

She doesn't check the things in the warehouse every day. The last time she checked it seemed to be half a month ago.

Except for her, no one in the Yuan Mansion knew that there was a mezzanine in the warehouse. She thought it was foolproof, so she just asked the servants to check the fabrics, spices, jewelry and other things in the warehouse from time to time, and gold, silver and money were checked by herself.

If the money is stolen, why did she have been married here for five years and have been in it for five years and have been safe and sound? But after the money disappeared, she found that the money was gone.

When Qi returned to the room from the warehouse, she remembered that she had lost so much money in one go. She felt distressed, but she felt miserable because she didn't know how to tell her husband.

Xiao Mansion.

Tao Tao slept until midnight before getting up. Ayun woke up early. Seeing that Ah Mother was not awake, she waited obediently on the side for her to wake up.

Tao Tao walked out of the house, and there were two little maids outside, waiting for him at any time.

Seeing that Tao Tao got up, he fed hot water for them and their son to wash.

I used breakfast again.

Mrs. Xiao is here.

She smiled and said, "Doctor Tao, you mother and son had a good rest last night!"

"Okay, thank you Mrs. Xiao for your hospitality, I am very grateful."

"Don't you behave, you saved my son too!"

"The young master is in good health now, right?"

"It's okay. When I wake up in the morning, I'm still full of lively and shout that I'm very hungry. I follow your advice and only dare to give him some porridge."

"Children's mind is pure and their body metabolism is fast, so their illness is cured quickly and their body recovers quickly."

"Oh! Doctor Tao has a unique way of treating diseases, his speech is also unique, and his metabolism is fast. I am the first to hear about this term."

"The child's body grows fast because his metabolism is fast. This word is indeed very unique, but it can be expressed accurately."

"Doctor Tao, I seemed to have heard you say last night that you, mother and son, came to join relatives, but they did not find any relatives."

"Yes, we came from Changping, but we didn't expect to come here from afar, but we didn't find relatives. The relatives' families left the capital and went to other places."

"Do you mother and son have no outsiders?"

"My husband is dead, and my parents-in-law has passed away."

Mrs. Xiao sighed, "Then what are your plans next."

"I originally planned to go back to Changping, but the journey back is long. I want to stay for the time being. In the capital, it will be good for the future of my child."

"A child can't speak, is he born with illness or..."

Tao Tao did not hide it, "He was drugged."

Mrs. Xiao was shocked, "Who is so cruel to attack a child?"

Tao Tao smiled bitterly.

"I can cure the child, which is why I want to stay in the capital. The medicine shop here should have the medicinal materials I need. Moreover, the child's illness cannot be delayed."

Seeing that Tao Tao didn't want to mention more private matters, Mrs. Xiao didn't ask again.

"Then you stay in the mansion! I have many rooms here, and there are only two children in this huge Xiao Mansion. In addition to Ling'er, who you treated last night, I also have a young daughter named Rong'er, who is five years old, and she is about the same age as yours."

Tao Tao was surprised, "Only you, mother and son, live? Are your parents-in-law and husband?"

"My father-in-law and three brothers-in-law live alone in other residences. My master has been leading troops outside for many years."

Don’t people in this era live with their parents-in-law? What’s more, she is a weak woman, and her husband is not at home for many years.

Tao Tao was just wondering.

Mrs. Xiao explained with a smile, "I am the only daughter at home and have three brothers at home, so I am very spoiled. My parents are afraid that I will get married and have a bad relationship with my parents-in-law and sister-in-law, so they asked us to come out alone."

Not to mention this era, it is even modern people. When their daughter gets married and has no strength, no one dares to ask their daughter and son-in-law to live alone.

It can be seen that Mrs. Xiao’s family background is quite large.

Generally, if women at this time do not live with their parents-in-law when they get married, they are unfilial. They would rather their daughter bear such a reputation than let their daughters come out to live. This disregards worldly prejudice, which shows how much they love their daughters and are really considering their daughters.

"Madam Xiao, thank you for your consideration for our mother and son. I think I'd better buy a yard for myself, but I don't know if there is a suitable house. Madam Xiao, you have many acquaintances in this capital. Can you ask me if anyone wants to sell a house? It's just that, we, mother and son, don't need a very large yard."

"It's a coincidence that the owner moved to the big house to live in the yard next door, leaving this second-entry yard, which is suitable for you, mother and son to live in."

Tao Tao immediately felt energetic, "Really, how much does their family want?"

"It costs 1,000 taels of silver. The furniture and daily necessities are all available, and they are all good things. After you and your mother and son live in, you don't need to buy anything."

"That's great. I'll ask Mrs. Xiao to introduce me to you. I can buy one thousand taels of silver."

Mrs. Xiao smiled and said, "Okay, I'll ask the servants to send a letter to their mansion, and let them open the door and let you go into the yard to see it. If you like it, buy it. From now on, as neighbors with me, they are all women living alone, so you can take care of each other."

As Mrs. Xiao said, she asked someone to go to Huang's mansion to inform.

An hour later, Mrs. Huang came in a carriage.

Mrs. Huang is a middle-aged woman in her forties. She is charming and elegant. She looks like a cheerful and neat person. Unfortunately, her hair is slightly white. Otherwise, judging from her beautiful face, it would not be an exaggeration to say that she is only in her thirties.

Tao Tao likes to make deals with such a decisive and independent woman. With Mrs. Xiao being around, she is very sure to buy the house quickly.

The experience of enduring the biting cold wind on the street last night made Tao Tao want to have a place for their mother and son to settle down as soon as possible.

Although Mrs. Xiao kept her in Xiao's house, she was not used to living in other people's houses for a long time, and she didn't want to rent a house.
