Fan Jinchang bit his back teeth and tried hard to open his heavy eyelids, and what came into his eyes was a dazzling sunlight.
He half-closed his eyes and turned his head with difficulty to look at his crying wife beside him.
"What—happened?"
After saying a few words, Fan Jinchang gasped in pain and cold sweat instantly seeped out of his forehead.
All he could think about now was pain, so much so that he lost the ability to think.
"....master!"
Mrs. Fan looked at Fan Jinchang who had woken up in surprise, and her tears instantly fell even more violently.
"I don't know who robbed our house overnight, not even a tile was left."
"Last night, the master came back and collapsed as soon as he walked in. Who did you meet last night?"
The servant followed the master and said that the master was still smiling before he entered the room, but as soon as he entered the room, he suddenly flew out inexplicably, fell to the ground and became motionless in an instant.
This strange scene was not only seen by the servant, but also by the doorman who opened the door.
She called those people over and questioned them individually, and they all said the same thing.
She thought the master had tripped accidentally, but the court doctor said the master was seriously injured and had four broken ribs...
“...hiss~!”
Fan Jinchang frowned tightly, the pain made him tremble constantly, and his mind became extremely confused.
"Report to the authorities!"
He just heard that his house had been robbed, so he had to report it to the police.
Seeing Fan Jinchang in unbearable pain, Mrs. Fan quickly took out a bottle of painkillers from her bosom and poured two pills into Fan Jinchang's mouth.
She had ordered her servant to go to the clinic and get the pill.
The entire Fan family is now penniless, so how can they afford to buy medicine?
All the gold, silver and valuables she had hidden were also stolen by thieves.
There is not even anything to eat at home now, so she has asked the servants to rush to the farm in the suburbs to transport food and money.
At least I can deal with the food and drink for now.
After taking two pain-relieving pills, Fan Jinchang's pain gradually eased.
After a while, his face turned pale and he trembled as he reached out his hand to touch his chest.
"Master, what are you looking for?"
Mrs. Fan looked at Fan Jinchang's hand on his chest and widened her eyes nervously, "You have four broken ribs in your chest, you can't move."
"....Hiss~" Fan Jinchang was really struggling to get it out. After just two moves, his palms were full of sweat.
"Holy---Imperial edict!"
Fan Jinchang reluctantly put down his hand, took a deep breath and said, "I have an imperial edict in my arms, quickly take it out."
The sun is so bright, don't delay his work.
When Mrs. Fan heard this, she quickly reached out and touched Fan Jinchang's arms.
"Master, there is no imperial decree!"
"....." Fan Jinchang's pupils trembled, and veins popped out of his forehead with anxiety. "How is this possible!"
Mrs. Fan was frightened by Fan Jinchang's eyes and trembled. She groped around carefully again.
"Master, there's nothing here. It might have been stolen by those thieves."
The thieves even took away the tiles and floor bricks, leaving them nothing but clothes and shoes, so how could they not take the imperial edict?
This group of thieves are so bold. Stealing the imperial edict is a serious crime that will lead to the confiscation of property and extermination of the entire family.
When Fan Jinchang heard that the imperial edict was lost, he turned pale with fright.
His mind was in a mess and he didn't care about the current situation at home.
Looking at the huge sun above his head, he asked tremblingly, "What time is it now?"
"Just now, at 9:00 PM."
"It's over, it's over..." Fan Jinchang muttered with trembling lips.
If you delay the imperial mission, you will lose your head.
The most important thing is that the imperial edict was also lost. What should I do?
"Hurry, help me up!"
Fan Jinchang was so anxious that he stretched out his hands to grab Mrs. Fan, "Ah...hiss..."
Just by stretching out his hand and moving it just once, Fan Jinchang felt so much pain that his eyes went dark.
"Master, please stop moving! You have a broken bone. You can't move! If you move again, someone will die!"
Mrs. Fan was so frightened that she quickly held Fan Jinchang's hand and tried to persuade him anxiously.
After Fan Jinchang had such a brief moment, his body was covered in cold sweat.
He opened his mouth wide and gasped for breath like a fish dying of thirst.
"Quick, go call Ding Zhenhao, hurry up!!!"
Fan Jinchang screamed in pain.
Now the only one who can help him to confiscate his property is his adopted son Ding Zhenhao.
He couldn't trust others. If the news of losing the imperial edict got out, he would be in big trouble.
"Okay, okay, Master, don't worry, I'll ask someone to find someone..."
.......
"......." Ding Zhenhao looked at the demolished and bare mansion of the Duke of Protectorate, with his mouth drooping and not wanting to say a word.
He waved his hand and called the officers around him.
"Go, call everyone to the front yard to receive the order."
Originally, he was quite happy when his adoptive father asked him to come and raid the Duke of Protectorate's Mansion.
After all, his house was robbed last night and everything was turned upside down.
At least you can take the opportunity to put some things into your own pocket when the house is confiscated.
Who would have thought that the Duke of Protectorate's Mansion was not much better than his family.
Of course, this is also the situation at my adoptive father’s house now.
I don’t know where these thieves came from, they are so cruel.
I'm afraid that if the wind blows past a thief's door, it will be pressed down and cleaned for him for free.
Ding Zhenhao put his hands behind his back, lowered his eyes to look at his underwear, and sighed heavily.
"yes!"
The officers responded and walked towards the backyard of the Duke of Huguo, shouting as they walked.
"The imperial edict has arrived, everyone in the Shen family, please accept it!"
“........”
Ding Zhenhao's mouth twitched as he listened to the officers' shouts.
Damn it, where does he get the imperial edict?
His adoptive father only told him the emperor's oral instructions, but did not give him the imperial edict.
Ding Zhenhao frowned slightly, a little confused.
This is the Duke of Huguo's Mansion. For such a serious matter as confiscating property and exiling him, didn't Emperor Tianwu even write an imperial edict?
This shows how much he despised the Shen family. He didn't even bother to issue an imperial edict and just gave a verbal order.
Ding Zhenhao stood in the bumpy front yard of the Shen family and looked around.
How could this be the Duke of the Guardian's Mansion that he had envied so much before...
......
"Mother, Seventh Brother, the police are here!"
Lu Man heard the shouts of the officers in the distance and turned to look at Chen Yong in panic.
Mrs. Shen was slightly stunned, then smiled bitterly.
"Although it's late, it's coming. What's coming has come."
“Hey~”
Old Madam Shen stood up and glanced at Shen Yong, who was lying on the ground covered in blood.
"Man'er, Feifei, the two of you support Old Seven and go to the front yard to receive the imperial edict."
"We are daughters of military families. We don't need to worry about the strict rules between men and women. We can just follow our hearts."
Worried that her daughters-in-law might not be able to get over it, Mrs. Shen made a special suggestion.
