"He should still be angry inside now."
"Li'er, if you have nothing to do, come back in a few days, so as not to offend your grandmother and get scolded for no reason." She was scolded so badly that she had to come out and "attend to the sick" here.
Shen Li didn't say anything more to her.
Seeing Shen Li go in without listening to advice, Yin was very anxious: “You kid, why don’t you listen to advice.”
Yin hurriedly followed him in.
As soon as I entered, I heard a series of crackling sounds of things being smashed.
"grandmother!"
The old lady with a haggard face and crooked mouth had scarlet eyes. After smashing the porcelain vase with her trembling hands, she was about to grab the other one. When she heard Shen Li's shout, she seemed to calm down a little.
"Li'er?"
When Mrs. Shen saw Shen Li, her anger seemed to be suppressed a little.
"Why are you here!"
"Mother, please go out for a while."
Shen Li immediately dismissed everyone in the room, then looked at the old lady with a crooked mouth and looked incredibly haggard and asked:
"Grandma, tell me honestly, did you really burn the thing that grandpa brought back from the palace? Or did you secretly hide it in your private vault?" Shen Li asked, unconsciously clenching his hands.
Old Madam Shen hesitated for a moment.
Ever since she came back, she seemed to have a fire in her heart that she couldn't suppress no matter what, and now when she heard Shen Li ask this, her mind was a little slow to react.
"Grandma, you must tell me the truth about this."
Seeing that Mrs. Shen didn’t answer, Shen Li became anxious: “Grandma…”
“It’s not destroyed!”
Madam Shen bit her lip hard, trying to suppress the anger in her heart, and said in a slurred voice, "I hid it secretly... in the secret compartment at the bottom of the small brown box with the Qilin carved on it."
Shen Li's expression suddenly changed.
"Grandma, how could you be so...confused!"
He almost couldn't control his anger and wanted to slap the old man in front of him.
Stupid old thing!
How can you be so greedy!
Can that thing be left behind? If something were to happen, the entire Shen family would be chopped down.
Old Madam Shen seemed to understand the seriousness of the situation. She had just suppressed her anger, but it flared up again. She clutched the armrest of a chair tightly, resisting the urge to smash something. She muttered through gritted teeth, "Go, find Yang Zhao."
"lady."
A little maid came into the room and announced, "Master is here."
This was the first time that Shen Li entered Qin Garden. When he saw Yang Zhao coming out of the inner room wearing a white cloak, he was slightly stunned.
Haven't seen you for a few days.
She seemed to look much better.
It made her look a little more...pleasing to the eye.
Shen Li cleared his throat: "A Zhao, I have something to tell you."
"Um!"
Yang Zhao listened attentively: "Master, you speak."
Shen Li frowned slightly and glanced at Dong Shuang beside her and the maid in the room: "Let them all go down."
Yang Zhao glanced at Chen Li, and said to Dong Shuang, "Go and pour me a cup of tea, and you all can go down as well."
"yes."
"Master, you say."
There were only two people left in the room, and Yang Zhao finally spoke respectfully.
Shen Li looked at her and said without beating around the bush: "I have something I need your help with."
"Master, you say." Yang Zhao still said this.
"The items in my grandmother's private vault are still being held at the government office. I need to take something out of it..."
"What?"
"A small box."
