Chapter 348: Catch a Xuan Xiaowu

At this time, Mrs. Wu was busy selling her dowry. She couldn't take the shop and the land with her, so she exchanged them all for silver.

She also took her loyal servants, secret recipes, and other things with her and escorted them to Beijing.

Mrs. Wu was most worried that the Wu family would cause trouble for her father after she left.

In Daxia, the people did not fight against the officials, and the people could not win the officials.

Jian Ruonan's suggestion was to persuade Mr. Zeng's family to move together. After all, the Zeng family only had Mrs. Wu as an only daughter. Mr. Zeng originally planned to have a son inherit the family business, but the candidate had not yet been decided.

Mrs. Wu was worried that her father would not want to leave, after all, the Zeng family had its roots here.

Jian Ruonan took out the fertility pills, and as long as Master Zeng went with her, she would be able to give birth to a son.

Moreover, Jian Ruonan guaranteed that when the southeast was recovered, Zeng and Master Zeng would be able to come back openly.

The temptation given by Jian Ruonan was so great that Master Zeng agreed without much consideration.

In order to have a son, the Zeng family took in many concubines and spent countless money. Master Zeng once planned that if he could have a son, he would spend all his family wealth.

Jian Ruonan could guarantee that he would have a son, and Master Zeng was so happy that he didn't sleep for several days and got up at night to deal with the moving matters. The

Wu family knew nothing and was still reveling recklessly.

Wu Xinxin also added thousands of taels of jewelry and fabrics as her dowry.

Wu Li went around borrowing money from loan sharks.

The loan sharks saw that he had borrowed so much and asked him why he borrowed it. Wu Li scolded him: "What's your business? It's not like I can't pay it back!"

The old lady ordered two bowls of bird's nest for every meal, eating one bowl and giving one bowl to the servants.

The family had never been so happy.

It was not until Wu Li borrowed too much money from loan sharks that the loan sharks became alert and stopped lending him money. Then he condescended to go to Zeng's manor.

When he arrived at the door of the manor, he was dumbfounded.

The manor had been sold.

The new owner of the manor handed Wu Li a letter, "This is what the seller left behind. The seller said that if anyone comes to the door, give this to him."

Wu Li opened the envelope and saw a divorce letter inside.

Wu Li was immediately furious.

He went to other manors and shops of the Wu family according to his memory to look for people, but he found that all the properties under Zeng's name had changed hands.

He rushed back to the mansion in a rage and pried open Zeng's boxes, only to find that there was nothing inside.

The vases on the Duobao Pavilion were all fakes, and even the old clothes and the commonly used pillows were taken away.

Only some large and bulky cabinets that were not worth much were left.

Wu Li's eyes darkened and he fainted from anger.

The first thing he did when he woke up was to go to Li's yard, drag Li out and beat her up: "You are so short-sighted, you have never seen good things, right? Hurry up and return all the things you bought during this period!!"

Li was beaten so hard that she looked confused: "Grandpa, what's going on, can you explain it clearly?"

"I have used all the things, how can I return them?"

Wu Li kicked her in the heart: "If you have used them, spit them out for me!!"

"Zeng ran away!"

Li covered her chest and held on: "Run away? Where are all her shops and fields?"

Wu Li: "She sold them all!! She didn't leave any dowry behind! She ran away cleanly!! Even the vases in her yard were replaced with fake ones!"

Li felt stars in her eyes and her heart was blocked: "She ran away so cleanly?"

Wu Li pointed at Li and cursed: "It's all because of you, a whore, who seduced me and hurt Zeng's heart. If it weren't for you, how could Zeng run away?!"

In fact, if he had cared about Zeng earlier and went to the farm earlier, Zeng wouldn't have run away so carelessly.

This is how their family is. He is never wrong, and the ones who are wrong are others.

The old lady and Wu Xinxin rushed over after hearing the news. They were so surprised that they could stuff eggs into their mouths when they heard that Zeng had run away with her dowry, leaving behind not even a needle.

"She ran away, what should we do?"

The old lady and Wu Xinxin's faces changed instantly, pointing at Li and scolding her. They were as close as brothers when they met in the morning, but they were like sworn enemies when they met in the afternoon.

Li was scolded so hard that she couldn't open her eyes. In a hurry, she suddenly thought: "Zeng can't run away. The divorce letter is not stamped by the government, so it's useless. Besides, can she run away from the temple? She still has her family!"

Wu Li was suddenly happy when he heard this, "Yes, she still has her family!"

He must make a fortune from Master Taishan.

The Zeng family only has one daughter, and maybe they can use this to force the Zeng family's father to divide the Zeng family's wealth.

Wu Li immediately ran to the Zeng family in high spirits.

As you can imagine, he didn't find anything.

The Zeng family is such a big business, and they moved their entire family.

Wu Li was really dumbfounded this time.

Who is the master behind the Zeng family? !

Otherwise, how could such a big business like the Zeng family move so cleanly in such a short time? !

~

Wu Li, who got nothing, returned to the mansion and asked Li, Wu Xinxin, and the old lady to take out the unopened goods.

All the things were put into boxes, and now taking them out was like cutting meat.

Everyone was reluctant, so Wu Li had no choice but to lead his people to search the house one by one. The whole Wu Mansion was in chaos.

Now everyone hated Li even more. The old lady called her to the yard every day to stand in line. The scolding of Li could be heard everywhere in the mansion.

Wu Li took the goods and returned them from house to house, humbly. He didn't know how many people looked down on him.

The old man Wu, who used to be generous, became a poor man in an instant, and many people laughed at him.

The money from merchants can be delayed for the time being, but the loan sharking money cannot be. That is a snowball, and it will get bigger and bigger.

There is no other way, he can only sell the house, the land, and the shop.

Wu Xinxin's dowry was more than 10,000 taels, all of which was used to pay off debts. In the end, she had less than 200 taels left, which was not even as good as that of a concubine's daughter.

Wu Xinxin's eyes were swollen from crying. With such little dowry, she didn't know how much cold stares she would get from her husband's family after she got married.

Yanque was also sold off, as the Wu family couldn't afford to support a concubine. The original group of maids were also sold off or dispersed.

The entire Wu family moved to a rented small courtyard.

At this time, no one hated Zeng, but instead began to curse Li, blaming Li for driving Zeng away.

If it weren't for Li, the Wu family would still be living a life of luxury.

The master of the Wu family suddenly saw the good in Zeng, and the old lady praised Zeng's goodness to everyone she met, saying that it was all Li's fault, and hoped that Zeng would come back after she came to her senses.

Li was not sold and continued to stay as a concubine, but her treatment was not as good as that of the previous maids. Not only did she have to do all the dirty and tiring work, she had no monthly allowance, and had to endure the old lady's scolding every day.

The Wu family got the retribution they deserved.

~

Here, Jian Ruonan received Zeng's most sincere blessing.

Once the blessing value is full, Jian Ruonan will set about capturing Xuanwu, the scumbag.

Jian Ruonan came back from the southeast and came to Prince Rui's Mansion without having time to rest.

At the gate of Prince Rui's Mansion, Jian Ruonan hid in the carriage and waited quietly.

To capture Xuanwu, you can't be too far away, you must be close, and it's best to face him.

Tan Taimo rode back to the mansion and saw Jian Ruonan's carriage at a glance. He was so excited that he almost controlled the horse to dance.

Tan Tai Mo thought she was going to the mansion to see the plum blossoms and the dumplings, but she just stuck her head out of the carriage, said a few words, and then went back to the mansion on the pretext of being tired from the long journey.

[The Fifth Miss just came back and came to see me without even having time to rest!]

Tan Tai Mo couldn't control his excitement and sought Xuan Wu's approval. What was strange was that the usually noisy Xuan Wu didn't say a word today and was as quiet as if he was hibernating.

[Xuan Wu? ?]

Did he leave after his leg was repaired and his mission was completed?

Probably not. According to Xuan Wu's temperament, he would definitely notify me in advance before leaving and loudly proclaim his achievements so that I would send him off with joy.

Thinking of the Fifth Miss's visit just now, Tan Tai Mo's heart skipped a beat.

Xuanwu probably met with an accident.

~

In the carriage, Jian Ruonan folded her arms and looked at a boy about seven or eight years old in front of her with a sinister look.

The boy had a turtle shell on his back, delicate features, and a pretty face full of fear.

"Fifth sister?!"

"How could you catch me??!! Xiao Si, help me!!!"
