Chapter 622: The bottom of the box is emptied
Mrs. Qiao also knew this.
Only if you are willing to give up now, you can gain in the future.
"I will do my best."
Mrs. Qiao had no choice but to take out a few jade pieces and her favorite jewelry from the bottom of her box, and ordered someone to secretly go to the pawnshop in the provincial capital to pawn them.
Pawnshops are places where people are killed without leaving any bones. If something is worth 100 taels of silver, you can only get 30% of it, which means you can only get 30 taels of silver. If you want to redeem it later, you have to pay high interest.
Even if it is pawned, the maximum gain will not exceed 70% of the value of the item, and for some items, only 50%.
Mrs. Qiao's jewelry and jade articles were originally worth about 13,000 taels, but after they were pawned in the store, she only got a mere 7,600 taels in total.
When Mrs. Qiao saw the silver note and the pawn ticket brought back, she felt a dull pain in her chest and was extremely depressed and distressed.
She could only desperately comfort herself that it was all worth it! As long as she could return to Beijing, it was all worth it!
Back in the capital, her husband has a high position, making money faster, and her daughter can also be married. That is a marquis's mansion.
However, Mrs. Qiao still felt sorry for the loss.
When she is unhappy, she wants someone to be unhappy with her and vent her anger on her.
"Go and search Aunt Du's place. Find all the gold, silver, and jade for me! It doesn't make sense that I've taken out all the money hidden in the bottom of the box for the master, but she doesn't do anything to show her gratitude!"
Mrs. Qiao instructed her trusted confidant, Madam Hua.
Nanny Hua loved to punish concubines and concubines the most. Upon hearing this, she responded loudly, brought a few servants and maids, and rushed towards Aunt Du's courtyard with murderous intent.
Aunt Du’s eyes went dark and she almost fainted from anger!
What's the logic behind this!
Do you have any shame left?
But she knew that the master needed a lot of money recently, and she dared not and could not stop it.
Otherwise, Mrs. Qiao would definitely torture her in various ways in the future. She was old and no longer as pretty as she used to be. How could she have any say in front of the master? How could the master go against the lady to protect her?
Besides, her daughter's marriage is still in the hands of Mrs. Qiao.
Aunt Du's heart is bleeding
She knew that Mrs. Qiao had indeed lost all her fortune, and she and Qiao Kou and her mother secretly gloated and laughed at her for a long time.
Unexpectedly, it would be her turn so soon.
Nanny Hua acted quickly, accurately and ruthlessly, leaving nothing for Aunt Du.
Even the three hundred taels of silver notes that Aunt Du had hidden in a shabby box under the bed were found.
Nanny Hua had a rich harvest and left in triumph. Nanny Du checked her room and felt like she had lost all her parents. Her legs went weak and she fell to the ground, covering her face and crying softly.
In the main house, Mrs. Qiao ordered people to count the spoils. The total value of all the spoils was more than 1,300 or 1,400 taels.
She was angry and hateful, gritting her teeth and cursing: "This bitch is really capable! She actually seduced the master and secretly took so many things under my nose, damn it!"
Nanny Hua quickly smiled and tried to comfort her: "No matter what she did, these are all yours now! Madam, calm down."
Mrs. Qiao sneered: "This was originally mine!"
When Qiao Kou heard the news, she hurried to Aunt Du's place, only to see Aunt Du in a daze, with her house being rummaged through as if she had been robbed.
"Auntie, this, this - how could this happen!"
