Chapter 415: The House Was Stolen
Li Jiaojiao and the wife of the Duke of Ping walked forward hurriedly.
At the entrance of the main hall, I met Nanny Yu who came rushing over.
As soon as they entered the door, they saw Manager Xie of Deli Money House standing in the main hall with three big men.
Ping Guogong was slamming the table: "Assholes, assholes, how could we sell our farm and house to you?"
Shopkeeper Xie smiled and said, "Please look carefully, Lord. Is Liu Xiawei's name written on it?"
As he spoke, the big man behind him unfolded a contract.
Duke Ping's face changed drastically. The handwriting on the letter was indeed that of the rebellious son. He was furious:
"Haha, you've been deceived by him. These deeds are obviously fake."
"All the house deeds, land deeds and shop deeds in the house are in the hands of my wife. Shangwei, is your mother not back yet?"
Liu Shangwei on the side said: "She went out with Li Jiaojiao early in the morning... Hey, she's back."
As they were talking, the wife of Duke Ping came in quickly with Li Jiaojiao, Nanny Yu and Xiaolu.
When Li Jiaojiao saw the familiar shopkeeper Xie and the big man, her face changed slightly and she quickly lowered her head.
Shopkeeper Xie and the big man had a hint of amusement in their eyes, and they pretended not to know her.
The wife of Duke Ping came over and sat directly next to Duke Ping. She slammed the coffee table hard and said with great momentum:
"You insolent things, is this a place where you can cause trouble?"
"I understand. It must be that rebellious son Liu Xiawei who forged the deed and cheated you out of your money, right? Humph, from now on, Liu Xiawei is no longer a descendant of our Liu family! If he owes you money, you can go to him."
"This is the Duke of Ping's mansion, not a place where you can act so recklessly."
As she spoke, she looked gloomy and stared at Shopkeeper Xie and the three big men with a domineering look.
Duke Pingguo and Liu Shangwei almost clapped their hands in approval. Madam (mother) is really capable!
Unexpectedly, Shopkeeper Xie smiled and said, "Mrs. Liu may not know where we are from. We are from Deli Bank."
The face of the wife of Duke Pingguo changed. The one behind Deli Money House was Grand Tutor Gao!
Lady Pingguogong's face was stiff, and she forced a smile: "Haha, I don't care which family you are from..."
But the tone was a lot weaker.
"I am also speaking to you in a reasonable way. You and Deli are well-known people in the capital. How could such a big bank be deceived by Liu Xiawei?"
Shopkeeper Xie smiled and said, "We are not blind. This deed is all real."
Lady Ping: "Impossible. Nanny Yu, take out the real deed. Xiaolu, go with Nanny Yu."
"yes."
Nanny Yu and the other girl turned around and left. After a long while, they returned with livid faces. Then, they knelt down in front of Lady Pingguo, saying:
"Madam...all the adopted children in the family are gone!"
The cup of tea in the wife of Duke Pingguo slipped and fell onto the coffee table with a splash.
Duke Ping and Liu Shangwei also widened their eyes: "Impossible, how is it possible."
Lady Pingguo stood up and said, "Madam Yu, have you found it clearly?"
"I have already...searched several times...but it's all empty..."
The people from the Pingguo Guild were confused: "Empty...what does that mean?"
Yu Ma stuttered, "Madam... the adopted children in our family... should have all been stolen by the Second Master. Madam, do you still remember that some time ago the Second Master said that he owed the gambling house 30,000 taels and wanted you to sell the house. Now..."
Now they have stolen the pledged children and sold them all to the Deli Money House!
Li Jiaojiao stood beside the wife of Duke Pingguo with a pale face, not daring to say a word.
Lady Pingguo was stunned and could not accept it for a moment: "Impossible... How did he steal the things? The key is with you, did you lose it?"
Nanny Yu's face turned pale: "Madam, you are wronged. This old slave never leaves his key, not even when bathing. How could it be lost?"
As she spoke, she took out the key and held it in her hand: "The key is here, intact, and there has never been any problem during this period of time..."
Lady Pingguo's eyes turned red: "Then why......"
Yu Mama was so wronged: "I remember the last time I opened that box was a few days ago. At that time, we also looked at those pledges."
"Oh right...it was Li Jiaojiao who suddenly said she wanted to see the adopted children. Then the old slave went to get them, but she refused and insisted that she go get them herself."
"She touched the key then!"
Li Jiaojiao's face changed drastically, and she said anxiously: "You, you old slave are slandering me. I did touch the key, so what? Didn't I return it to you immediately? Mother, you saw it with your own eyes... I returned the key to her immediately..."
Nanny Yu said anxiously: "It's you! I felt suspicious at the time..."
"What's suspicious? Ha... You mean, I stole the key, took away all the adopted children, and gave them to Liu Xiawei, asking him to sell our Duke's Mansion? Am I a fool... Why would I do such a thing?"
Nanny Yu gritted her teeth and said, "How would I know... Anyway, it must be profitable. Maybe you got half of the money after the things were sold."
"Shut up!" Lady Pingguo stared coldly at Nanny Yu. "I trusted you, so I gave you the key for safekeeping, but you...actually lost it."
"That's fine, but now you're putting all the blame on Jiaojiao. I believe in Jiaojiao, she would never do such a thing."
Nanny Yu stared at her blankly:
"Madam... the situation at that time was very suspicious. She suddenly said she wanted to see the adopted child and insisted on going to get it herself."
"But at that time I thought she was a fifteen or sixteen-year-old girl who could do something, so I didn't think much about it. But now, the box has been emptied and everything in the house has been sold! Who else could tamper with the key except her?"
Li Jiaojiao: "You...what can I do..."
Yu Ma: "I have to ask you this. Madam, this Li Jiaojiao has a bad heart. She has not done a single good thing since she entered our Duke's Mansion."
"Shut up!" The Duke's wife frowned and slapped Yu Ma fiercely. "I believe Jiaojiao. Jiaojiao would never do such a thing."
Yu Mama felt as if a basin of ice water had been poured over her from head to toe: "Madam...I have been following you since I was seven years old. Why don't you listen to me?"
"What does this lady believe in you?"
Li Jiaojiao was promoted by her. She is Jiaojiao's benefactor and supporter. Jiaojiao will naturally be filial to her in everything. How could she conspire with Liu Xiawei, the rebellious son, to steal the house?
Shopkeeper Xie and the three big men standing by were all delighted and looked at Li Jiaojiao in admiration.
I can't wait to give Li Jiaojiao a thumbs up.
This little girl is amazing. She is only fifteen or sixteen years old, but she can bewitch the wife of the Duke to this extent. She is really amazing.
But now is not the time to watch the show, Shopkeeper Xie snorted: "Duke, Madam, now the matter is very clear!"
"Your master Liu sold all your land and farm to our Deli Bank."
