Lin Zhiyi opened her eyes and discovered she had transmigrated into a book, becoming the soon-to-be divorced abandoned wife in the story.
She immediately saw darkness before her eyes and near...
Chapter 10: Old Lady Qin Faints from Anger
Only then did Qin Lang realize that his head was chilly. He couldn't help but touch his head, but he touched his scalp.
His heart suddenly softened, and he no longer cared about his mother and family. He ran back to his room and wanted to look at himself in the bronze mirror.
Only then did he realize that the room was empty. Not only was the bronze mirror gone, but even the desk was gone.
There was only one bed left in the whole room.
And that one in the corner...the urinal!
He called the servant and said, "Go out and fetch a basin of water."
The servant had already seen Qin Lang's appearance. He didn't even dare to breathe and hurried out to fetch water.
When the water was drawn, it was found that the room was too dark and no light could be seen.
"Light the lamp."
The servant did not move, "Master, there is no light in the room."
Qin Lang couldn't hold it in any longer, so he flipped the basin to the ground and shouted angrily, "Who on earth is this!"
Today is his big day, but he is in this state. I am afraid he can't even leave the house.
Qin Lang ordered the servant to take off his coat and put it on himself.
At this moment, I don’t care about whether it is decent or not. At least it is better to have it than not to have it.
But what should he do if he has no hair?
At this time, the servant said, "Master, how about I give you this soft-footed hat on my head?"
The soft-footed futou was given to servants in the mansion and was made of a relatively rough material.
Not to mention now, even before Qin Lang passed the imperial examination, he had never worn this kind of coarse linen soft-soled hat.
In his opinion, this was worn by the lowest servants, handymen, and common people, and was not worthy of his status at all.
But now, if he doesn't wear it, it seems he will have to go bald.
Now I can only compromise.
After putting on the soft-soled hat, Qin Lang went to the inner courtyard.
"Mom, what's wrong with your face?"
Seeing Old Lady Qin's face, Qin Lang's expression turned gloomy, and his eyes revealed a strong anger.
Old Mrs. Qin had felt pain on her face earlier, but she was too angry because she had lost her big gold bracelet to notice the condition of her face.
After Qin Lang reminded her, she touched her face and hissed in pain.
Only then did he realize that he had a wound on his face.
Everyone also saw the injuries on Qin Lang's body. Qin Lao San said, "Second brother, your eyes..."
"What's wrong with my eyes?"
"I got beaten up."
When Qin Sanlang saw his second brother's appearance, he couldn't help but cover his mouth and laugh.
Qin Lang touched it and felt a pain, then he realized that he had also been beaten.
He clenched his fists, gasping for breath, and kicked the smirking Qin Sanlang.
Qin Sanlang quickly dodged backwards, "Second brother, I didn't hit you, why did you hit me, haha, you are like this... hahaha..."
Qin Sanlang was so frightened when he saw the anger in Qin Lang's eyes and his frightening look that he immediately shut up.
Qin Lang suddenly thought that if the Qin Mansion was robbed, even the things in his room would be stolen, and the things in the private storehouse, as well as Jiaojiao's dowry...
He didn't dare to think about it, so he ran to the main courtyard and came to Lin Zhiyi's private storehouse, trying to kick the door open, but the pain made him grimace in pain, and he jumped up holding his injured foot.
He ordered his servant to go find the old lady and get the key.
The key to the private vault was originally carried by Old Lady Qin, and Lin Zhiyi did not take it away.
When Old Lady Qin heard that her son wanted the key to the private vault, she immediately reacted. She ignored the pain on her face and ran over.
When the private vault was opened, they breathed a sigh of relief when they saw that the large boxes were still there.
Still, still!
Old Lady Qin walked up quickly, opened one of the boxes, and shouted, "How could this happen? Where are the things? Where is my dowry?"
She opened the boxes one by one without giving up, until she had opened seven or eight boxes and they were still empty. She suddenly panicked.
Finally, she found that all the boxes were empty, and Mrs. Qin collapsed to the ground:
"It's all gone, it's all gone..."
She rolled her eyes and fainted from anger.
The Qin family also followed, and when they saw Old Lady Qin fainted, they hurried over and said, "Mom, Mom, what happened to you..."
Qin Lang closed his eyes, thinking of He Jiaojiao's dowry, and without caring about Old Mrs. Qin, he ran to the outer courtyard again.
He Jiaojiao's dowry was placed in the main hall of the outer courtyard.
But he stopped and didn't dare to go forward to check.
Isn't this also an empty box?
He then denied it.
The reason was that He Jiaojiao's dowry was being guarded, and the He family was worried, so they sent six maids to take turns guarding it, and they didn't dare to leave for a moment.
There are people watching it even at night, so it won’t be lost.
Just as he was about to step forward and open the box, he was stopped by the old woman, "Stop!"
The old woman looked up and saw that it was Qin Lang. When she saw his face, she was also shocked.
But this was not their business. Their responsibility was to keep an eye on the dowry. "Sir, you can't open the box. This is against the rules."
Not to mention that it cannot be opened now, even after the marriage, the husband cannot open the wife's dowry without the wife's consent.
Qin Lang bowed and said, "I just wanted to check if the dowry is still there."
"What are you talking about, son-in-law? We are here guarding every step of the way. How can this dowry just fly away?"
Even when resting at night, two people are on duty and the others come to take over.
"You misunderstood. The mansion was robbed and many valuables were stolen. I'm worried that Jiaojiao's dowry might be affected."
The old woman still gave Qin Lang face. Although she looked down on these country people, they were the ones that the girl from the He family was going to marry after all.
"Since the uncle said so, let's check it out."
When they opened the boxes to check, they found that they were all empty.
"How could it be? How could it be?"
The women were suddenly panicked.
"The dowry was lost from your Qin family. It must have been stolen by your Qin family."
"Yes, it was you Qin family who stole it. I was even saying that night, how I accidentally fell asleep, and it turned out that it was you poor country folk from the Qin family who schemed to steal our Miss He's dowry."
"Let's go and report to the girl."
Seeing the old women were about to leave, Qin Lang hurriedly took a few steps to stop them.
As long as they walked out of the Qin family, it would be hard to explain.
"Mom, our Qin family also lost something. I hope you can explain it to Jiaojiao. We will go to the police when it's dawn."
Several maids snorted coldly, pushed Qin Lang away, and left the Qin residence.
Qin Lang was angry. He wanted to run to explain to He Jiaojiao, but he looked too embarrassed to show his face to others.
He stamped his feet and sighed, thinking to himself that Jiaojiao would not act unreasonably and he would definitely believe her.
At this time, Old Lady Qin was carried into the room by the servants.
Qin Dalang pinched her philtrum hard, and Old Lady Qin finally opened her eyes.
Seeing her staring at people with her eyes wide open, she quickly shouted, "Mom, mom, wake up, wake up!"
Suddenly, Old Lady Qin burst into tears, "My dowry, my dowry, who the hell stole my dowry? Lin Zhiyi, yes, it must be Lin Zhiyi..."
"Mom, Jiaojiao's dowry is gone."
Old Lady Qin turned around and saw Qin Lang also enter the house. She almost gasped again, "What? Jiaojiao's dowry is gone?
Go, capture Lin Zhiyi. She must have stolen it. She was not happy about being divorced, so she stole the dowry."
Qin Lang had originally suspected Lin Zhiyi. Although the Lin family had fallen, the Lin clan had not fallen.
Could it be that the Lin family stole the dowry to help Lin Zhiyi vent her anger?
But now Lin Zhiyi has disappeared, where can he catch him?
"Mom, I'll send someone to report to the authorities right away, and they'll definitely catch her."
Mrs. Qin said, "Yes, she is not a faithful wife. She even dared to steal her husband's property. Catch her and put her in the pond."
