While Li Gan and others were stirring up trouble in Bohai County, Xia Daohua was also busy.
The third wife's yard was robbed and all the jade artifacts 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 certainly 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 lasted for a short time.
After all, the difference in status between Helan Yue and Xia Daohua is obvious, 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 was a little more worried.
After contacting Wei Shiqi and the others again, Xia Daohua found that everyone was fine. So far, apart from the dogs, there was not much actual loss. She breathed a sigh of relief.
She didn't feel comfortable being too harsh on 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. Secondly, she wanted to save some face for Li Gan.
After all, the Murong family was Li Gan's maternal clan, so as long as they didn't do anything too extreme, he wouldn't take action against them. However, that Third Wife, Xia Daohua, wouldn't let her have it easy either.
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 had been tricked in the casino and had lost a total of 30,000 taels of silver in just seven or eight days...
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 funds 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 savings, it would still not be enough!
The third wife's family had no choice but to look for the third wife who had married the best since the official was unwilling to pay money to save her.
The Third Wife had quite a bit of 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 invitation, he respectfully sent someone to return it, but his words were extremely disrespectful:
"It is only natural to pay back debts. The young master owed his gambling debt willingly; no one forced him to do so.
If the Third Madam is short of money, we are not incapable of understanding. If she really cannot pay the money, we can send a few ladies of marriageable age to pay off the debt, which will be enough."
When the three Third Madams were so angry that they were fuming, someone slowly added, "Since this gambling debt isn't owed by the Murong family, if the Third Madams intend to send a female lottery ticket, we wouldn't dare accept someone from the Murong family."
The Third Wife could not meet a man from outside the family alone, so she was naturally accompanied by more than one servant. She even put up a screen to meet the man from the casino.
The composition of the people present is inevitably complicated.
The news reached the third master's ears that night.
The already troubled Third Wife 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 scratched the Third Master's face. She was then quickly confined to her house for a hundred days to pray for the old lady.
It is called praying for the old lady.
The two new favorite concubines of the Third Master teamed up to trip him up, 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 was so lively, with one person singing and another taking the stage, how could it be avoidable chaos!
Xia Daohua’s “Daohuaxiang” will open as usual after the 15th.
At first, there were only a few small customers coming in, but soon a wave of big customers came in.
It turned out to be that group 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 they have a grudge or some affection, one of the purposes of coming to this Jixiang County for a visit is to see "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.
