Chapter 20 Dad, Dad, Dad, Where Are You?
Lai Da, in the side room, had removed the rag from his mouth and wished he could bite Lai Sheng to death.
"Are you crazy?"
Lai Dahen burst into tears. "With the relationship between our two families, and with my mother and my abilities, if you were in trouble, could we just stand by and watch? It's not difficult for us to save the three nephews. How could you bring Master Zhen to raid my house?"
He hid all the silver and important antiques in the secret vault. If it weren't for Lai Sheng, a family member, Jia Zhen wouldn't be able to steal so quickly even if he came to copy.
Just hold on until the old lady comes.
But now...it's all over.
"You've completely destroyed our family! Aa ...
Lai Da cried bitterly.
If I had known earlier, the two companies should not have borrowed from each other when they were building the secret vaults.
“…I can’t help it.”
Lai Sheng's tears were also flowing. "You know the master's temper, and you also know how powerful the palace guards are. Even if you can use the old lady to suppress him temporarily, they can still beat my three sons to death in the street."
He knew the relationship between his aunt and the old lady. Didn’t he ever think of delaying it?
He thought about it.
But he knew his master, and if he got angry, he would really do anything.
Lai Sheng also didn't expect that after the old man released his wife, he would suddenly bring people to his house to kill him.
It was hateful. He knew his master and his master knew him too. The secret treasure room he built was found by his master with almost no effort.
"It's too late to say this now. If we don't want our descendants to be extinct, we should just... accept our fate!"
"Why don't you just die?"
Lai Da couldn't accept his fate.
His mother ran so fast and the old lady came so quickly, his family should have been fine!
Lai Da rushed headfirst into Lai Sheng.
Lai Sheng quickly rolled to the side, and with a thud, Lai's head felt dizzy and he fell to the ground.
The gatekeeper heard the noise inside, but the valuables from the Lai family's inner courtyard were also being carried out in boxes. There were jewelry, furs, cloth, etc., which were dazzling to look at.
Madam Xing and Madam Wang also stared with wide eyes.
One of them is poor, the other is rich. The poor one feels sorry for herself, as she is worse off than servants, and feels sorry for her family's property being enjoyed by a group of servants. The rich one is angry and shocked, as she knows that the Lai family is stealing money, and a lot of money still flows out of her hands, but while providing convenience to the Lai family, she is also stealing money.
But she had been stealing in fear for so many years, but she couldn't even make one-tenth of the Lai family's money? "Old lady, please have mercy on me! Please have mercy on me!"
When Lai Ma saw the masters of the Jia family were about to look for her son, she kowtowed on the ground and said, "This old servant did everything. It has nothing to do with my Lai Da!"
Grandmother Jia: “…”
At this time, she had been helped to sit on the chair.
Nanny Lai was her dowry maid. Marrying into the Lai family made it easier for her to manage the household.
For so many years, she knew that the Lai family was stealing the family, but the fact that they had wealthy slaves proved that their family was prosperous.
Moreover, as long as the Jia family's status remains, and as long as they hold the indentures of these servants, if they want to get them back in the future... it will only take a word.
There are two sons in the family. The eldest son is useless since childhood. For the sake of the family, she cannot help but think more about the younger son.
The Lai family was left to her eldest grandson and her youngest grandson.
Grandmother Jia stroked her chest and didn't want to talk.
She allowed them to steal the house, but the Duke's burial...
Whenever she thought of the Tang Sancai camel, Grandmother Jia felt as if she couldn't breathe.
Her grandfather had also fought in the desert. He said that the most loyal companion there was the camel. He raised one and brought it home, but the camel grew old and died before him. The old man could not stop thinking about it, so he found a Tang Sancai camel.
Who would have thought...
"Drag her away."
Grandmother Jia felt dizzy and spoke with a hoarse voice.
Wang Xifeng waved her hand quickly, and two sturdy old women came up quickly, dragging Lai Ma away.
Nanny Lai let out a shrill cry.
But he was soon gagged and silenced.
Grandmother Jia finally got a moment of peace and quiet and waited for the conversation inside to end.
Sitting and watching the two daughters-in-law rummaging through the boxes, their indifferent looks made her think of something.
Grandmother Jia turned to Youshi and asked, "Zhen'er raided Lai Sheng's house. Was it your mother-in-law's idea?"
"this?"
Seeing the play, You Shi seemed to hesitate for a moment in embarrassment. "Lai Sheng's family was related to those rumors. Master didn't beat her because of the relationship between Lai Sheng and Lai Sheng. Master apologized to mother-in-law, but mother-in-law said Master was blind. Then she made a bet with Master, saying that if Lai Sheng's family's assets other than the house did not exceed 20,000 taels of silver, she would release his entire family from slavery and give him additional money to settle down. Later... you know, that's what happened."
“…”
“…”
Wang Xifeng was very impressed! She had never been so impressed by anyone before.
But Wang Xifeng felt that she could look up to this aunt.
So much money! Wang Xifeng's eyes seemed to glance over the boxes inadvertently.
“…Okay, okay!”
Grandmother Jia was so angry that she didn't want to talk, but when she saw Wang Xifeng like this, her anger finally burst out, "Feng girl, where is Lian'er? His father, uncle and elder brother are all here, where did he go to be lazy? Someone, bring Lian'er..."
"Ancestor!"
Jia Lian's voice changed as he rushed in from outside, "Grandfather," he ran up to him and lowered his voice again, "It's bad, Rong'er took Jiao Da to return the silver to the treasury."
What? Grandmother Jia stood up suddenly, "What did you say?" She thought she was hallucinating.
"Oh!" Jia Lian stamped his feet anxiously, "It's too late."
He saw people wearing the official uniform of the Imperial Emissary Office wandering around Ningrong Street. He was worried and looked at them carefully, but he didn't expect to see Rong Ge'er paying off his debt from the past.
Jia Lian knew about this money.
When he took over the family affairs, his father specifically told him that the money in the treasury must not be touched under any circumstances.
But when Sister Yuanchun entered the palace, she wrote to ask for money around the New Year last year. Second Aunt cried to him and complained that his marriage cost too much and the mansion had no other income at the moment, so she could only transfer eight thousand taels from there and let Sister Yuanchun use it to manage the palace.
Now Rong Ge'er is going to pay back the money, his family...
"Dad, Dad, Dad, where are you?" Jia Lian called out to his father.
"What the hell is that?"
Jia She was in a good mood today, and he didn't care that his stupid son had come so late, "Come in."
Jia Lian rushed in.
Just as Jia Zhen was about to greet him with a smile, he saw that he was sweating all over and looked as if the sky had fallen.
"Dad, Rong Ge'er brought Jiao Da a few carts of silver to the national treasury to pay off the debts they owed."
What? Jia She was stunned.
Jia Zheng, who had always looked very unhappy, turned his head too much and his neck suddenly froze.
Jia Zhen was stunned on the spot.
His son was beaten on the bed. Can he walk?
Besides, how big of a deal is it to pay back the treasury silver? How old is his son?
He didn't even know his family owed money...
I had a checkup at the hospital yesterday, Monday. The indicators that cause me headaches have dropped slightly. I will update the extra chapter about the fairy as soon as possible if possible.
