Chapter 242 A Bolt from the Blue
Xie Fanglan thought about it carefully for a long time, and the more she thought about it, the more she felt that her idea was very brilliant.
However, there are many things to do, and if this thing is to be accomplished, it must not leak out, and no one can see the clues. There are many people in the family, and if you are not careful, someone might eavesdrop.
Although after a recent reorganization and the swift sale of a group of people, County Magistrate Xie's backyard has been tidied up a lot, Xie Fanglan knows that her control still does not extend to the entire family.
Xie Fanglan made up her mind that she must get this done this time.
Then, I can only wait until I have finished the things at hand and make some time to plan carefully, and I must ensure that there are no mistakes in every link.
Xie Fanglan made up her mind and felt sleepy for a rare moment. She closed her eyes and took a nap. She slept for more than an hour.
Even missed lunch.
But she did not wake up by herself, but was pushed awake by her maid Hui'er.
Xie Fanglan was displeased when she woke up. How could there be such a bold servant in this house who dared to disturb her lunch nap?
But when she opened her eyes, before she could get angry, she saw Hui'er's pale little face and a panic-stricken look.
Xie Fanglan knew that something big had happened!
Otherwise, Hui'er, the maid who was used to running around her mother and herself, would have seen all kinds of scenes. She would definitely not look like a lost dog.
Hui Er cried to Xie Fanglan:
"Miss Seven, something big has happened in our family!
Jinyi Yunqi brought many fierce-looking officers and soldiers to search the house! They took off the master's hat and official uniform on the spot, and put a wooden yoke and shackles on him!
My wife has fainted from crying!"
Hui'er's words were like a bolt from the blue, hitting Xie Fanglan on the head.
Her ears were buzzing and her eyes were blurry. She couldn't recover for a long time. Hui'er's voice seemed to be far away, and it seemed to be separated by many barriers, making it difficult for her to hear clearly.
It took her a long time to understand what Hui'er meant.
"Miss Seven! Miss Seven! Wake up, Miss Seven!"
Huier shook her anxiously, crying and shouting.
Xie Fanglan's pale and dull face really scared her.
Hui'er always felt that Miss Seven was no less outstanding than those men.
In all her years in the Xie family, this was the first time she saw Seventh Miss Xie Fanglan lose her composure and her opinions, and look so pale.
Xie Fanglan finally came back to her senses from this stimulation. She felt a black screen in front of her eyes and a fishy and sweet taste in her throat, as if a salty liquid filled her mouth.
Xie Fanglan knew that she was vomiting blood because she was too angry and couldn't withstand the stimulation.
She calmed down and stood up.
The clothes on my body were wrinkled because of the lunch break.
She didn't bother to change her clothes. She simply combed her hair, wiped the blood from the corner of her mouth with a handkerchief, changed her handkerchief, and walked towards the front yard.
After taking less than two steps, she suddenly turned around and quickly packed up the small and easy-to-carry valuable jewelry in her dressing box and stuffed it around her waist.
As for some of the cheap ones that took up a lot of space, she left them in the box.
She also hurriedly wrapped up the silver bills hidden in the secret compartment of her dressing box in a handkerchief and stuffed them into her arms.
In addition, she also took a purse filled with small silver coins in her hand, ready to use it to give rewards at any time.
Originally, the Xie family had been looted. These jewelry, banknotes, small silver coins and purses were sent by relatives and friends to help out in times of need and to keep up the appearance.
I just don't know why my father is so unlucky. His house was just ransacked by thieves, and before he could recover, he was punished by the court again!
Could it be that something happened to my father's letters and account books?
After Xie Fanglan went through the initial shock, her mind raced as she kept wondering what had gone wrong.
However, before she reached the front yard, she ran into a group of soldiers who came to search the house.
Xie Fanglan's face changed.
During the years that her father had been in officialdom, Xie Fanglan had seen houses being confiscated.
Those soldiers are rude, brutal and unreasonable. No matter how noble and delicate you are, you will only suffer losses and humiliation in front of them!
Xie Fanglan's heart began to beat wildly.
She was afraid of being molested and of being searched for the banknotes and jewelry she was carrying.
However, the expected humiliation did not come, and the discipline of this team of soldiers seemed quite good.
Behind them was a young man dressed in black, directing them to make way for Xie Fanglan:
"She is a female member of the Xie family. Don't disturb her, but ask her to leave her jewelry behind."
Upon hearing this, Xie Fanglan immediately took off a jade hairpin that was transparent and translucent, a hairpin inlaid with gold and rubies, and a few pearl flowers from her head, and respectfully presented them with both hands:
"These are my favorite things, they are very valuable, I hope you will accept them. The most expensive one is this jade hairpin, please don't break it."
The young officer in black was very satisfied with Xie Fanglan's tact and gave her some advice:
"Go over here and wait with Mrs. Xie in front! Don't walk around the yard, or the soldiers will be rude and bump into you again."
Xie Fanglan bowed, thanked, and said goodbye.
Hui'er followed her, not daring to breathe.
The two men successfully left the soldiers, walked through the moon gate and entered the front yard.
Xie Fanglan stretched out a hand and held Hui'er tightly: "Hold me a little, my legs are weak."
Hui'er hurriedly leaned against Xie Fanglan, supporting her, and walked forward with her back straight, graceful and dignified. She walked all the way to the room where Mrs. Xie was, and when she entered the room, she saw that all the women in the family were there.
Thinking about it now, those concubines who were sold by her were actually more fortunate than those who were left behind.
At least they don't have to go through this.
My eldest brother's sister-in-law who has not yet married is also a lucky person. Although she missed the marriage due to mourning, her family was ruined, so this marriage naturally cannot be counted.
A sarcastic smile appeared at the corner of Xie Fanglan's mouth.
A few days ago, she was still worried about the family's expenses and was carefully planning how to frame the Xia family so as to take over the store, take Xia Daohua for herself, and force her to reveal the secret recipes or her supply channels.
But she didn't expect that in such a short period of time, her own family had been turned upside down.
This time, she no longer has to worry about where the money comes from.
Her efforts were in vain!
She had originally figured out how to get the store, but man proposes, God disposes!
Unlike Xie Fanglan, who looked indifferent but had a lot of emotions in her heart, the other women in the Xie family were all crying and weeping.
Magistrate Xie cried out in injustice at first, but when he learned that the letters, account books and incriminating materials he had left behind had all fallen into the hands of the Jinyi Yunqi, his eyes rolled back and he fainted.
