Chapter 316 They Are Coming (Part 2)
While Li Gan and others were stirring up trouble in Bohai County, Xia Daohua was not idle either.
The third wife's yard was robbed and all her jade articles disappeared.
The most crucial thing is that the people abducted by the Hanako Gang also disappeared on the same day.
Helan Yue knew that Xia Daohua must have contributed to this.
But she said nothing.
Not only did she not say anything, she also strictly ordered her maids Hong Ling, Hong Duan and others not to reveal even a single word.
Immediately afterwards, Helan Yue simply moved out of Murong's house and returned to Helan's house for a short stay.
Even though the Third Wife was somewhat suspicious, she couldn't stop it.
If the children of relatives are happy to stay at your home, you should of course treat them well. However, if they want to go home, or their family sends someone to pick them up, as the host you can warmly try to keep them, but you cannot forcefully stop them.
Otherwise, there will be no need to be a relative.
What's more, even if the Third Wife had some doubts, they only flashed by in those days.
After all, the gap in status and position between Helan Yue and Xia Daohua is there, so the two should not have any friendship.
Xia Daohua brought her people back to "Pu Ji Rescue" and then asked a doctor to see them. She found that they were just unconscious and not seriously injured, so she felt relieved.
In fact, according to her own experience, those who were taken into the space would inevitably fall asleep for a while, but this time there were too many people taken in at once, and she herself even fainted once, so naturally she became a little more worried.
After contacting Wei Shiqi and the others, Xia Daohua found out that everyone was fine. So far, apart from the dogs, there had not been much actual loss. Xia Daohua breathed a sigh of relief.
She didn't feel comfortable being too harsh towards the third wife of the Murong family. Firstly, she didn't want people to connect this matter with the affairs of County Magistrate Xie's family, and secondly, she wanted to save some face for Li Gan.
After all, the Murong family is Li Gan's maternal family. As long as they don't do anything too extreme, he won't take action against the Murong family. However, the third wife, Xia Daohua, won't let her have it too easy.
After spending the fifteenth day of the first lunar month peacefully, the third wife of the Murong family discovered that her family members had come to visit.
It turned out that my nephew was tricked in the casino, and in just seven or eight days, he lost a full 30,000 taels of silver...
Although the Third Wife's family had some wealth, this family was well-established and had a large population, with more than a dozen children of the same generation. How could they possibly use public property to pay off the gambling debts of a useless nephew?
The most important thing is that if it is three to five hundred, their family can digest it by themselves, and there is no need to disturb the old man and the old lady. But this thirty thousand taels is not a small amount.
Even if they emptied out all their family assets, it would still not be enough!
The third wife's family had no choice but to turn to the third wife, who had married the best, as the Duke was unwilling to pay the money to save her.
The Third Wife had a lot of silver and money in her hands, but when she took out so much, her face turned purple with heartache.
So he posted a message and asked someone to find the boss of the casino.
But since the owner of that casino can afford to open a casino in Jixiang County, how could he not have some backers?
After seeing the Third Madam's letter, he just respectfully sent someone to send it back, but his words were very disrespectful:
"It is only natural to pay back debts. The young master owed gambling debts willingly, and no one forced him.
If the Third Madam is not well off, we can understand that - if she really can't pay the money back, we can send a few ladies of marriageable age to pay off the debt, and that will be enough."
When the three third wives were so angry that they were fuming, someone added slowly, "Since the gambling debt is not owed by the Murong family, if the third wives plan to send their female relatives, we dare not accept the Murong family members."
The third wife couldn't go alone to meet a man from outside the family, so she was naturally accompanied by more than one servant. She even put up a screen to see the man from the casino.
The composition of the people present is inevitably complicated.
The news reached the third master's ears that evening.
The Third Wife, who was already in a state of distress, was scolded by the Third Master and was so angry that she almost hanged herself. She cried and made a scene without caring about anything, and after scratching the Third Master's face, she was quickly sentenced to house arrest for 100 days to pray for the old lady.
They call it praying for the old lady.
The two new favorite concubines of the Third Master teamed up to trip up the Third Master, turning what was originally just a gesture of house arrest and prayer into a real punishment.
Everyone in the Murong family's mansion suddenly felt that the wind had changed, and many servants began to take sides again. This thing is so lively, with one person finishing his song and another taking his turn, how can it be avoidable being a mess!
Xia Daohua’s “Daohuaxiang” opened as usual after the 15th.
At first, there were only a few small customers coming in, but soon a wave of big customers came.
It turned out to be that bunch of dandies who were running rampant in the capital.
This group of people all have some connection with Li Gan to some extent. Of course, most of them have grudges against him, but a small number of them have some affection for him.
But no matter whether there is a grudge or some affection, one of the purposes of coming to this Jixiang County for a visit is to check out "Daohuaxiang", a mysterious shop that has stolen countless limelights and always has new things.
Xia Daohua was a little surprised at first, until she saw the young princess Gu Shanrou wearing men's clothes in the team, and then she let go of even the initial trace of uneasiness.
With Gu Shanrou around, this group of people will probably not get into any bad trouble.
It turned out that Xia Daohua was a little too optimistic.
This group of people took a lot of things from "Daohuaxiang", whatever was new and cute, beautiful and interesting, they took them, and were very rude, but no one remembered to pay the bill.
Of course, Xia Daohua would not blame Gu Shanrou for such a trivial matter.
However, we can't just let them develop the habit of buying for free! Xia Daohua frowned at their arrogant appearance and couldn't help thinking: We can stay out of other people's business, but we absolutely can't do that here!
However, Xia Daohua did not let his men stop them - after all, these guys were very incompetent, and if one of his men was injured or died, he would have nowhere to find such a useful person in a short time.
Xia Daohua let them go, greeted Gu Shanrou with a smile, and watched them go away with a respectful attitude, but secretly kept all the gold, silver, pearls and jades on them.
Xia Daohua had already mastered the technique of "telekinesis" so well that they didn't notice it at all.
Several young men in the store were a little indignant, but seeing that Xia Daohua was smiling as gently and amiably as usual, they said nothing and just pouted to express their unhappiness.
Xia Daohua couldn't help but want to laugh.
These children are really treating "Daohuaxiang" more and more as their own home.
It is said that after a long time, the supervision of the store seems to be very loose, and it is inevitable that someone will try to steal. But so far, there has been no theft in "Daohuaxiang".
