Chapter 53 An Chengshao's Sorrow(2/2)
This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, and the first house will naturally not let go of humiliating and ridiculing the second house. Su Li, who speaks, is originally a person of few words, but she is also very powerful when it comes to speaking.
When Su Jinyi heard this, she became furious, with a black face as if she wanted to kill someone. Su Jinye instinctively protected Su Li behind him. This action was quite warm. Xu Xiu recalled that whenever he had a chance to find someone in the future, he would look for someone like this.
of.
She felt that she was really powerful, and she was still thinking about it at this time. Seeing that Su Jinyi's attitude was about to break out, she stood up quickly, stood in the middle, and spoke, no longer in a discussing tone, but said directly:
"I've been thinking about this all afternoon. There are only three ways. You, second brother and sister-in-law, can choose on your own. Or if you have a fourth way, you can also suggest it."
"First, second brother, you accepted Zi Chen."
"Fart." Su Jiang lost all her dignity and showed the attitude of a country shrew.
"Second, resign Zi Chen and drive him out."
"No, Third Grandma." Zi Chen looked at Xu Xiuyi with tears in her eyes, but Xu Xiuyi ignored her and raised her head and continued.
"Third, second brother, you have settled Zichen outside. You are not allowed to bring her back and show up in my Su family. Our Su family will not give her a status."
"Impossible!" It was Su Jiang again.
Today, she had to wait until Zi Chen died. She stepped forward, grabbed Zi Chen's hair and pressed it to the ground: "This bitch, you still want to live like a master, build a house outside as an outer room, and live in the future."
If you have a son, you can come back openly. Xu Xiuyi, if you can't control this matter, don't care about it. Get out of here. I will force this bitch to go private today, and see if I don't kill her."
Xu Xiuyi knew that she couldn't take care of this matter. Who was she to clean up the mess of their second wife? She could do whatever she wanted. Su Jiang was willing to keep it private, so she was happy and free.
So he walked towards the door and said, "I'm in charge of your family, but I don't have the right to decide the private affairs in your room. Let's go, brother and sister-in-law, let's go."
The three of them went out and walked far away. They heard another quarrel and scolding inside. Su Li snorted coldly: "She will have her day."
Su Jinye frowned: "Third brother and sister, do you think it will really cause death?"
"Don't worry, brother, the second sister-in-law doesn't have the guts. Besides, seeing how hard the second brother protects Zi Chen, she won't allow it. Let's not get involved in this nonsense. It just gives the second brother something to do."
, lest he have any free time to deal with me, brother, Baoning Hall will be closed for a month, you can rest at home for this month, and when Baoning Hall reopens, you will be the mainstay."
Su Jinye was said to be of good use and he hurriedly said: "I will definitely do my best."
"It's getting late, let's go back and rest!"
Xu Xiuyi said goodbye to the big room and went back to the room. When she walked into the room, she saw a person doing something sneaky. When she got closer, she realized that it was Tuanzi's nanny.
Seeing her, Tuanzi nanny was shocked and turned pale.
Xu Xiuyi looked down her arm, and she was holding a jade hairpin of Xu Xiuyi's in her hand.
Seeing Xu Xiuyi looking at her hands, she quickly put the hairpin on the dressing table: "Grandma, you are back. I saw that your jewelry fell on the ground, so I picked it up for you."
Xu Xiuyi raised her beautiful eyebrows and opened the drawer of the dressing table and dressing box. At a glance, she saw that the golden jade flower was gone.
She darkened her face and looked at Tuanzi's nanny with cold eyes: "Where did you steal it? Hand it over and I will spare you the pain of jail."
The wet nurse trembled for a moment, but she said stubbornly: "What's stealing? Third Grandma, you misunderstood. I just picked up a hairpin. Is there anything missing from Third Grandma's house? I really didn't take it, otherwise Third Grandma could search me."
"
Her words were tough, but her eyes were not tough enough and kept flickering in a panic.
Forget about others, she is very courageous and dares to steal that golden jade flower.
"Search you. You think I'm a fool. You can still put the gold, jade, and silver on me that you usually steal."
She called out, and two girls came in from the wing. Seeing the scene in the house, they didn't understand what was going on.
"Grandma, what's going on?"
"Jinyu, you dress me up. You know how many pieces of jewelry I have. Look, what is missing? Yinyu, go check the money box in my cabinet and see if it has been opened."
Hearing this, the two people immediately understood and hurriedly split up. The nanny's face turned even pale and she could hardly hold on.
"Ah, grandma, if you didn't tell me, I wouldn't have noticed. A lot is missing. A pair of pearl earrings, and an ivory comb are missing. Ah, the ruby bracelet is also missing, and the third grandma put it on a few days ago.
Not a single golden flower that came in was gone."
Yinyu came back: "Grandma, the box has not been moved. I carefully checked your clothes, grandma. The two new clothes made by Dongtian last year are gone. They are all top-quality satin. Grandma, please come here with me."
Made of Sichuan brocade as a reward from the emperor, grandma’s pair of treasured shoes are also gone, with only eighteen pearls inlaid on them.”
After saying this, Jin Yu hurried to Tuanzi's room, and when she came back she looked at the nanny angrily: "You even stole the jade pendant of fortune, wealth and longevity that grandma gave to Miss Lan. You are really shameless."
Stole so much...
Xu Xiuyi was also surprised. All these things together were enough for her to travel far and wide for ten lifetimes without worrying about food and drink. However, she was greedy and wanted to take action.
She probably thought that Xu Xiuyi would have to deal with the matter at the ancestral hall for a long time, so she took the opportunity to sneak in. She didn't expect that Xu Xiuyi would let go and come back so soon, but Xu Xiuyi caught her in the act.
Knowing that she couldn't deny it anymore, the wet nurse knelt down on the ground and begged for help.
Jin Yu went up and gave her two big mouths, and asked bitterly: "Tell me, where did you hide the things?"
Xu Xiuyi looked at her with a cold face, then sat down and let Jin Jade and Silver Jade interrogate her.
The wet nurse was trembling and kept kowtowing to Xu Xiuyi: "I didn't even have time to sell some of them. I threw them to my man from the back wall at nightfall. They are probably still in his hands. I pawned some of them to the pawn shop."
"Where is that golden and jade-filled hall?"
Xu Xiuyi stood up again. It was given to her by An Chengshao. How could she lose it so easily.
The nanny stole too much, most of which were extremely valuable. She did not remember such a thing and said, "It's probably in the Nan's pawn shop."
Nanjia Pawnshop is the largest pawnshop in Beijing.
Xu Xiuyi grabbed the cloak on the screen and said to Jin Yu: "Look at it for me, Yin Yu, go and report it to the official."
The wet nurse rushed up to her: "Didn't grandma say to spare me? Didn't she say that as long as I confess, she wouldn't send me to jail?"
"That was before, I gave you a chance, but you tried to trick me cunningly. That's how I am. If you don't cherish me when I'm polite to you, I won't give you good fruits to eat, and steal my many things.
Let's wash your neck and wait for beheading."
After saying that, I didn't dare to waste any more time and hurried to Nan's pawn shop.
*
At the Fifth Prince's Mansion, An Chengshao looked at the gold and jade in his hand in a daze, turned it around in a circle, and returned it to his hand. When he went to the Nancheng pawn shop to find the Second Master Nan, the Second Master Nan gave him this thing.
, said it looked like the one he had before.
Yes, it's his, he gave it to Xu Xiuyi.
Second Master Nan said that a person who claimed to be a servant of the Su family pawned the money for 30,000 taels of silver. He said that their grandmother was short of money and needed money for turnover.
He thought about the two big gold ingots she took at the Pear Blossom Inn that night. She really should be short of money when she spends money like that.
There was a hint of bitterness at the corner of his mouth, but Wu Mo rarely made fun of him.
"She doesn't seem to appreciate it."
An Chengshao didn't say anything, he just stood up and threw the gold and jade Mantang out of the window with all his strength. There was only a popping sound, and it probably fell into the lotus pond to the east.
"It's rare to see you so angry. I advise you to give up on this idea, so as not to become the second me, sink too deeply, and be hurt even more."
Wu Mo probably thought of Xu Lanqing again.
Mr. An Cheng's face was so dark that he didn't want to be with Wu Mo. He didn't even want to hear a word about her now.
As he stood up and left, Wu Mo caught up with him: "Where are you going?"
"drink wine!"
After saying that, he walked quickly and left Wu Mo far away.
Wu Mo looked at him helplessly and shook his head: "Master Cheng, Master Cheng, eventually you also fell in love and couldn't extricate yourself, but you still laughed at me like that before. Now you should understand what it means to win someone for Yixiao."
Haeng, even her smile, every move, can make your heart flutter and break your heart."
