Chapter 416: Report to the police and escape quickly
The Duke's wife said anxiously, "No, no, no, this transaction is against the rules. Liu Xiawei stole it, and we don't recognize it."
Shopkeeper Xie smiled and said, "I'm sorry, Madam Duke. We don't know how he got the adopted child. Our bank is only responsible for buying and selling. Besides, these things have been registered with the government, so it's in compliance with the rules."
The Duke's wife was so angry that she almost fainted. She wanted to lose her temper, but the other party's backer was Grand Tutor Gao, so she didn't dare to do anything to him.
He gritted his teeth and said, "You really have no mercy at all? We are the Duke of Ping's Mansion after all."
Shopkeeper Xie: "I'm sorry, we are here today to take over the mansion and all the farms and shops."
The Duke's wife asked in a trembling voice, "How much did he sell it for?"
"Including the thirty thousand in debt, the total is fifty-five thousand taels."
The Duke's wife almost vomited blood: "What a sin! These things...are worth at least two hundred thousand taels..."
Duke Ping was so angry that he slammed the table: "Prodigal son! Prodigal son——"
Liu Shangwei: "How dare he! How dare he!"
Li Jiaojiao's face turned pale. Something worth two hundred thousand taels, and he sold it for more than fifty thousand taels?
Thinking of this, her heart almost bled.
Might as well let her sell it.
But she was just an adopted daughter and was not listed in the Liu family tree, so she couldn't sell these things.
The Duke's wife said, "Boss, we will give you 55,000 taels to buy back all the things."
"I'm sorry, that's not possible."
"You are trying to scam me! You are just trying to scam me."
"We paid for the goods, and he sold them willingly. He's over 30 years old, can we force him to do something?"
Duke Ping said, "We don't recognize this deal! He stole it, we're going to sue the authorities! Yes, sue the authorities!"
Shopkeeper Xie said, "It's up to you. We at Deli Bank are not heartless. We'll give you three days to move out. After three days, we'll come back to take you back."
After saying that, he bowed, turned around and left with the three big men.
The wife of Duke Ping covered her mouth and nose and cried in anger.
Duke Ping shouted coldly, "Qian San, go and report to the authorities. Also, send someone to find Liu Xiawei, the rebellious son, for this duke! And Yu Ma and Li Jiaojiao, bring them down and slap them thirty times."
In the opinion of Duke Ping, this happened because of Nanny Yu's failure to keep the child safe.
Nanny Yu said that Li Jiaojiao touched the key, so Li Jiaojiao is also a suspect.
The Duke's wife slammed the table and stood up: "How dare you!"
"Why wouldn't I dare? Look at what has happened now. This is the consequence of leaving the family property in your hands!"
"What else is left in the house besides this mansion? Aren't they all my dowry?"
"You you you - humph!" Duke Ping was so angry that he didn't bother to pay attention to her and turned around and left.
Li Jiaojiao's face turned pale, and she hurriedly supported the Duke's wife: "Mother... let's go back to the room first..."
The Duke's wife sobbed and helped her stand up, but she glared at Yu Ma who was still kneeling on the ground:
"Someone, take Yu Hong away and give her thirty slaps!"
After saying that, he took Li Jiaojiao's hand and turned to leave.
Nanny Yu knelt on the ground woodenly. She deserved to be punished.
No matter what, it was because she didn't keep the key safe that the villain took advantage of it.
But how can Li Jiaojiao be innocent?
At this moment, Nanny Yu felt self-blame, unwillingness and despair.
......
Li Jiaojiao held the hand of the Duke's wife and walked towards the main courtyard.
As she walked, she was thinking about other things.
Now I have to report to the police...
Even if Liu Xiawei didn't know that it was she who gave him the key, Nanny Yu would definitely hold on to her...
Also, all the properties of this Duke's Mansion have been sold, including this house...
The Duke’s Mansion is really going to collapse!
The more Li Jiaojiao thought about it, the worse it felt. She had to get out of this as soon as possible!
She still has a dowry of 10,000 taels in the yard.
Now that the Duke's Mansion is running out of money, they will definitely plan to take her dowry.
By the way, she also has Gu Han!
She and Gu Han wrote a marriage certificate.
Regardless of whether Gu Han is lame or not, or has a title or not, he is a member of the Ningguo Marquisate after all.
She is now the eldest wife of the Marquis of Ningguo Mansion!
She has to go back to Ningguo Marquis Mansion with Gu Han immediately!
As the saying goes, when you marry a chicken, you follow the chicken; when you marry a dog, you follow the dog. From now on, she will have nothing to do with the Duke's Mansion anymore.
They were poor as they pleased, and she and Gu Han lived their own lives behind closed doors in the Ningguo Marquis' Mansion.
After thinking it through clearly, Li Jiaojiao wanted to run away immediately.
But now that such a big thing has happened in the family, how can she get her dowry out?
Before they knew it, the two had walked into the bedroom of the wife of Duke Pingguo.
After Lady Fuguogong lay down, Li Jiaojiao stuttered, "Mother, I, I want to..." She wanted to go see Gu Han.
Unexpectedly, Lady Pingguo suddenly grabbed her hand: "Jiaojiao——"
Li Jiaojiao's face changed, and her heart started beating fast: "Ah?"
Lady Pingguo looked at her and said, "Go with Gu Han now!"
Li Jiaojiao was stunned: "Mother...what did you say?"
Full of disbelief.
Lady Pingguo sighed, "You guys should leave quickly... I know things are going to get tough at home. I'm afraid the master will vent his anger on you... No matter what, you are Gu Han's wife now."
"After you leave the Duke's Mansion, go to the Ningguo Marquis' Mansion and live a good life. Don't worry about us."
Li Jiaojiao was stunned. Even the coldest heart was touched at this moment, and her eyes were slightly red: "Mother... this, this... this is not okay..."
"Listen to me. Go! I know you are a filial child, but..." She shook her head and said, "In the future, if mother is in trouble, it won't be too late for you to help her. You guys should leave quickly!"
"Otherwise, by the time the master reacts, you won't even be able to get out of the door."
Li Jiaojiao choked up a little: "Then, then let's go first... we'll come back to pick up mother in the future."
"Okay...just go."
Li Jiaojiao put down her hand and ran out quickly. When she reached the door, she couldn't help but look back at the Duke's wife.
The Duke's wife nodded gently at her.
Li Jiaojiao then wiped away her tears and left quickly.
I didn't expect my mother to still care about her even at this point, but she...
She regretted it...
If she had known earlier...she should not have been bribed by the people from Deli Money House and done such a thing, causing the Duke's Mansion to suffer such a disaster.
She felt remorseful, but she did not stop.
