Chapter 81 Joining forces



"Father, Jinhua Garden burned down completely. I saw many valuable things turned to ashes that day."

After everything was settled, Xu Wanyan found Xu Maocai.

Xu Maocai's face changed instantly. He actually forgot such a big thing.

"What, nothing left?"

Xu Wanyan nodded and replied solemnly: "When I went in, I saw that many calligraphy and paintings were burned, and vases were broken all over the floor."

Xu Maocai gritted his teeth, his eyes flashed with ferocity. He flicked his sleeves and walked towards Mingzhu Garden.

Zhao Yaru leaned on the bed with red and swollen eyes. When she saw Xu Maocai, she immediately curled her lips in grievance, "Maocai..."

"Tell me, where is Yu Qilin?"

Zhao Yaru was stunned. "What Jade Qilin?"

"Don't play dumb with me. You took a lot of Su's dowry to Jinhua Garden, including the pair of jade unicorns. Take them out now!"

Zhao Yaru felt a chill in her heart. Xu Maocai did not come to comfort her.

"I have no idea!"

Xu Maocai's expression suddenly changed. He grabbed Zhao Yaru's neck and said viciously, "Tell me, where is it?"

"Ahem, ahem, you, you let go, you let go."

Zhao Yaru used her hands and feet to hit continuously.

Seeing her expression change, Xu Maocai finally let go of her hand and asked, "Tell me, where is it?"

"Ahem, ahem, in Jinhua Garden, in the fire."

"Bang!"

Xu Maocai slammed his fist on the table, his eyes full of ferocity.

Zhao Yaru shrank back into the bed and stammered, "There was a sudden fire that day, and I didn't have time to clean up, so I ran out."

"No, isn't it just a pair of jade qilins? There are plenty of jade artifacts in the storehouse, why are we looking for them?"

"You know nothing. I'm telling you, get up right now and go look for it there. You must find it for me."

Zhao Yaru had never seen Xu Maocai's face so red and his neck so angry, and her heart skipped a beat.

"That, that's just a decoration, is it worth getting so angry? Is it, are you still thinking about Su Feng, and you think I should be the one to die, right?"

Xu Maocai pointed at Zhao Yaru for a long time without saying anything, "You must find it for me. If you can't find it, get out of the Xu family."

After saying that, Xu Maocai left angrily.

Zhao Yaru couldn't hold it in any longer and burst into tears on the bed.

Suddenly, she looked up and looked out the door in shock.

After a while, she got out of bed.

"Mother Gu, Mother Gu..."

"Madam, the old slave is here, the old slave is here."

"Call someone, let's go find something, quick, quick!"

Xu Maocai will definitely send someone to look for her, and she must find her before Xu Maocai.

That way, they, mother and daughter, would never be bullied by the Xu family again.

Thinking of this, Zhao Yaru showed a long-lost smile on her face, but it was a little creepy!

"Yes, I will arrange it right away."

Soon, Zhao Yaru led a large group of people to the former site of Jinhuayuan.

Feiyun Garden

"Miss, Madam is taking people to look for something."

"They asked them to rescue the young lady, but they have been making excuses. Now they don't care about anything else in order to find something."

Xu Wanyan looked up and saw Qiao Yun coming out.

"Qiao Yun, how are you?"

Qiao Yun shook her head. "Miss, it was just a cold, but I'm better now."

Xu Wanyan nodded, "You still have to take good care of yourself."

"I understand."

"Let them look and see what she can find."

The thing is already in her hands, she just has to wait and see.

"Have Aunt Huang and Yifan settled down?"

"Miss, everything has been arranged according to your instructions."

Xu Wanyan nodded. Huang Yueping and Huang Yifan had made great sacrifices this time, and she couldn't treat them unfairly.

When they reached the hall, Xichun hurried over and whispered a few words into Xu Wanyan's ear.

Xu Wanyan's expression changed. "How could it be?"

Isn't the thing in her hand?

It's only been a few days, how come we haven't found another pair?

Xichun said nothing, and she didn't know why.

"Did you see it?"

Xichun nodded, "I saw it. Madam took it out, looked at it left and right, and couldn't let it go!"

Xu Wanyan slumped on the stool, not even wanting to eat dinner.

Seeing this, the others sighed and took the food away.

Xu Wanyan couldn't understand why this happened and sat on the bed for a long time, unable to fall asleep.

"Boom~"

Xu Wanyan took a look and frowned.

"My Lord, are you visiting me too often?"

Xiao Jingming was a little embarrassed, "I'm here to explain something to you."

Xu Wanyan didn't want to listen, she was very upset.

Xiao Jingming saw that she looked depressed and knew it was because of what happened during the day.

"The pair of jade qilins that Zhao found were fake."

"Fake?"

As soon as the words fell, Xu Wanyan covered her mouth.

Xiao Jingming nodded, "This is a fake that I asked someone to make."

"Why?"

Why did he become suspicious of this pair of jade unicorns?

"I see that you are determined to find it regardless of your own life. I believe it means a lot to you. In order to prevent you from being suspected by them, so..."

He didn't say the rest.

Xu Wanyan snorted in her heart. If that was the case, why did he still want to imitate it?

"However, knowing that your father nearly killed Zhao Shi for the sake of the Jade Qilin, I cannot help but wonder about the secret behind this Jade Qilin."

Xu Wanyan's expression changed. "Your Majesty is monitoring me?"

Xiao Jingming was stunned for a moment, then shook his head, "You think too much, I didn't know it by accident."
