Chapter 377 Stealing a Painting
Liu Zhi was always domineering and overbearing in the room, and the servants dared not disobey her orders.
When she started to make a scene, the maidservant beside her immediately turned cold and rushed forward to Wang Guye angrily and said, "Guye, are you really going to force our wife to die before you are satisfied?"
When Mr. Wang heard this, he almost fainted. What was going on?
Is it right for Liu Zhi to let people steal things?
Who would risk their life just because they couldn’t steal something?
He wanted to refute the girl, but because he was too angry, he stuttered and said, "You, what are you talking about? When did I force her to death?"
Before he could finish his words, Liu Zhi burst into tears: "Alright, no need to say more. You've been living off me for so many years, and you're still hoping for my death, right? Come on, let's get a divorce now and show your colleagues how heartless you are!"
The room was in chaos. Uncle Wang was forced into a corner and could only grab his hair helplessly, stamping his feet and saying, "Okay, I'll go. Isn't it okay for me to go?!"
The crying in the room suddenly stopped.
Liu Zhi, who was crying and throwing a tantrum one second, took out a handkerchief and wiped his tears the next second: "Why don't you go quickly?"
When Wang Guye thought about stealing something, his steps became very difficult: "Why do I have to steal? We are not starving in the house."
Liu Zhi glared and said, "Just go if I tell you to!"
Before Wang Guye could say anything, Liu Zhi walked up to him again and threatened him in a low voice, "Be careful about your appearance when you go there, and don't let anyone see you."
"You still care about me?" Mr. Wang was very helpless.
Liu Zhi sneered and said, "This matter must succeed. If you don't get the painting, then you'll die outside tonight!"
Immediately afterwards, Mr. Wang was kicked out of the door.
He rubbed his butt, looked at the moonlight outside, and couldn't help but sigh in distress.
Son-in-law Wang couldn't understand why he, the son-in-law of the Liu family, had to sneak to the door of the study like a thief in the middle of the night.
Although, he did come here to steal today.
He was very nervous along the way, afraid of being discovered.
After finally reaching the study door, he looked back several times to make sure there was no one behind him before taking another step.
But after taking just one step, he stopped again.
This, this is Old Master Liu’s study!
Son-in-law Wang looked at the dark study and swallowed his saliva. Although his father-in-law rarely lost his temper in the past two years, he was very scheming and could be very scary when he got angry.
Moreover, no one is allowed to approach his study!
Mr. Wang knew that if his theft was discovered, that heartless woman Liu Zhi would never share the responsibility with him in the slightest!
This means that he has to bear the wrath of Old Master Liu alone. If he is beaten with a stick, he will not be able to get out of bed for ten days or half a month.
A gust of cold wind blew, and Prince Wang shivered on the steps.
Just thinking about the consequences of being discovered made his legs tremble and he was almost scared to pee his pants.
"No, stay calm," he took a deep breath and quickly walked to the study door, closing his eyes and raising his hand, ready to go in when the door wasn't paying attention.
But even after preparing several times, I still didn't dare to push the door.
The cold wind blew across his face again, and Master Wang shuddered and put down his hands.
"Forget it. A gentleman does not stand under a dangerous wall. I can't do such a dangerous thing." He muttered in frustration, looked at the empty surroundings, and then moved quietly.
He gave up the idea of going into the study and started to ponder in his mind...
It was naturally impossible to go back to the room. Liu Zhi was angry now. If he saw him coming back with nothing, he would definitely be angry.
Mr. Wang hugged himself silently in the cold wind, thinking: Otherwise, I can find a corner to stay for the night and wait until it gets over?
On Hu Xiner's side, the longevity peach was finally made perfectly!
She looked at the two birthday peaches in front of her and nodded with satisfaction.
One of them was a birthday gift for Old Master Liu. According to the original plan, a birthday note was stuffed inside and it was only to be sent out on the birthday.
As for the other one, she made it specially for Liu Se!
Of course, she did this not because she had nothing better to do, but because she wanted to show her filial piety to Liu Se.
But no matter how good this longevity peach is, it was only with Liu Se's guidance that it was made so well.
In addition, last time Liu Se mocked her cooking skills, she wanted to prove to Liu Se that she was good at it this time.
Hu Xiner couldn't help but feel excited at the thought of being able to anger Liu Se. After waiting until late at night, she immediately walked around the servants and carefully came to the door of the study, holding the longevity peach.
Unexpectedly, as soon as I walked over, I ran into Mr. Wang!
When Wang Guye suddenly saw a person appear in front of him, he was so frightened that he sat down on the ground: "You...you you you!"
Hu Xiner was also shocked. After seeing the face of the person on the ground clearly, she felt even more terrible.
Why is Uncle Wang not sleeping and running to the study door so late at night?
Could it be that Liu Zhi discovered her entering and leaving the study, so he decided to send Uncle Wang to arrest her?
When she thought of this, her heart skipped a beat, but she soon discovered the loophole.
In Liu Zhi's eyes, Uncle Wang was a waste and would never be sent to deal with her.
According to Liu Zhi's character, if he really had evidence of her entering and leaving the study, he would definitely first find the old lady as his backer, and then send servants to ambush nearby, ready to catch her on the spot.
Judging from Uncle Wang’s expression, he definitely didn’t expect Hu Xiner to appear at the door of the study, so their meeting was most likely a coincidence.
After sorting out the logic, Hu Xiner felt a little more relaxed, but still remained vigilant.
The two of them never had much in common, but when they met late at night, they each had their own ulterior motives, and the scene became very awkward.
"Uncle Wang, why are you here? Can't sleep?" Hu Xiner asked preemptively.
Uncle Wang was too embarrassed to say that he was kicked out by Liu Zhi, and it was even more impossible for him to say that he came to the study to steal things.
He got up from the ground, brushed off the dust on his body, frowned and said with disgust: "Hey! It's because your aunt is too ignorant! So I had a quarrel with her."
Hu Xin'er was half-believing and half-doubting: "So you came out to relax?"
"How is that possible?" Uncle Wang raised his voice, but lowered it again in order not to attract other people's attention.
He coughed lightly and waved his hand nonchalantly: "I slapped your aunt in a rage, and now she's kneeling and begging for my forgiveness, crying so hard that it's a headache. I don't want to bother with it, so I came out!"
