Chapter 380: Playing a Drama in Front of Wei Xue
The visible ease on his face couldn't deceive anyone. Qi Huan's eyes suddenly turned red when he saw his parents who were worried about him.
"Dad, Mom, I made you worried!"
"My daughter, what happened? How did that old woman Bao hurt you? How did theft happen?"
Qi Huan was about to speak when he saw Wei Xue coming in from outside.
Having been humiliated and beaten by her people for a long time, Qi Huan shuddered subconsciously, and couldn't say a word when the words came to her lips.
Ran Qingxuan walked past the crowd and towards Qi Huan, encouraging her with his eyes not to be afraid.
Thinking that her parents were here, and considering what Ran Qingxuan had taught her before, Qi Huan felt emboldened. She calmed herself and immediately pretended to be both hateful and angry.
"It's also my own fault for not paying attention. When I got married, you parents prepared a lot of dowry for me. In addition to shops and land, there were also a lot of gold and silver jewelry.
But my husband's family is not short of money, and my mother-in-law and Huai Jin have never let me go hungry, so I felt at ease leaving my dowry to Nanny Bao to take care of. ”
Speaking of this, Qi Huan couldn't help wiping away tears.
"Some time ago, I wanted to ask Aunt Bao to make some calming tea, but I called her for a long time but there was no response. Then I saw her coming out of the warehouse in a panic, covering her hands, so I became suspicious."
"Today I went to the storeroom to take inventory and found that some not-so-valuable valuables were missing, and I also found two inconspicuous items in her room.
When Aunt Bao saw that the truth was revealed, she intended to harm me, but it happened that my second brother and the miracle doctor came to visit her, and that stopped her from continuing to harm me! ”
Ran Qingxuan was still marveling at Qi Huan's superb acting skills, but he didn't expect that the next second she actually took out a list from under the pillow, unfolded it and handed it to Madam Qi.
"Mother, this is the dowry that the wicked slave stole from me..."
Madam Qi originally thought that it was Nanny Bao who stole the dowry, so she was very angry for a moment.
Qi Dong found out what had happened through the report from the servant.
Now that he learned that a theft had really occurred, he slammed the table in anger.
"This is really outrageous. Not only did this old witch attack her own master, she also dared to steal. This is simply lawless!"
Wei Xue stood aside and suddenly said, "Now that she's dead, I don't know if the lost dowry can be found."
"But the master knows someone in the government office. If all else fails, ask your uncle to go there. Maybe the officials can find some of the items if they pay more attention..."
Qi Huan wiped her tears and did not refuse.
"In that case, I'll trouble Uncle San to make the trip."
Qi Huan didn't care whether the pursuer would come back or not. If Wei Xue could see any clues, she might go all out and destroy the Zhao family.
She had endured it before and didn't want to see this happen, and she is still doing so now.
Qi Dong looked carefully at the list in his hand, suppressed his anger and handed the items to Wei Xue.
"It costs money to hire someone to do something. Don't worry after you give the order to my third brother. I'll have someone bring him some money and do it."
Wei Xue pretended to be flattered and took the list.
"We are all family. If you know that the young lady has been wronged, the master will definitely not sit idly by."
Having said that, he looked at Qi Huan with eyes full of pity and said a few words of comfort, which seemed to be quite realistic.
After Wei Xue left, Qi Dong looked at Zhao Huaijin with a sullen face.
Zhao Huaijin had changed his clothes long ago, but the scratches on his face from the fall were still there. Since he couldn't speak, he could only lower his head and occasionally glance at Qi Huan.
Seeing this, Qi Dong became even more dissatisfied with his son-in-law.
Seeing that her father seemed to want to blame her, Qi Huan immediately started to explain.
"Dad, this matter is not Huai Jin and mother-in-law's fault. It's me who doesn't dare to say it..."
Qi Dong couldn't imagine that his daughter had been closely watched by the people from the third house for so long, and even suffered bullying for so long that he dared not say anything.
"Sell all the people you brought from home to the Zhao family. Dad will find new people to serve you. I will make sure there will be no mistakes this time."
Madam Qi was confused and felt that there were some things she didn't quite understand.
When the maidservant brought to the Zhao family by Qi Huan learned that she was about to be sold, she looked bitter and even wanted to argue.
However, when Qi Minghe said that they would all be sent to the authorities to investigate whether any of them were in cahoots with Nanny Bao, they shut up.
You must be kidding. Everyone present knew what Nanny Bao had done to her master Qi Huan. If they are sent to the authorities, I'm afraid their fate won't be much better than being sold.
No matter what the reason is, all entry and exit of government offices are recorded. Even if human traffickers buy and sell slaves, they still have to check whether their hands are clean.
Once the Qi family is determined to accuse them of dirty tricks, they will only be able to do the coolest and most tiring jobs in their lives...
The yard was much quieter. The servant arranged by Wei Xue could not escape the fate of being sold out. Gu Yanchen had someone follow Wei Xue secretly. If nothing unexpected happened, she might leak information to the person behind her in the next few days because of the unexpected changes.
The couple didn't take it seriously at all. Even if Wei Xue jumped high, she would still worry that her secret would be exposed at any time.
Once she has concerns, she will not act rashly.
The thorns had to be removed all at once to avoid pain, but Ran Qingxuan was not in a hurry at all.
Qi Dong talked to his daughter for a long time before leaving, and he didn't even look at Zhao Huaijin when he left.
Madam Zhao and Madam Qi were in the front hall checking out the slaves brought in by the human traffickers. After selecting for a long time, they only picked out one old man and two young ones.
Mrs. Zhao knew that the people who came in today would not be tampered with, but if she were to choose again tomorrow, she might not be sure.
"Madams, if you are not satisfied with what you see, I have more. It's a bit late today, how about I bring some more people over tomorrow so you can take your time to choose?"
The human trafficker was very cunning. He had sold more than a dozen maids and servants from the Zhao family. No matter what, he was sure to make a profit today.
But the two ladies in front of him were very picky and had too many demands, so he had no choice but to wait.
Qi Huan's surroundings were quiet now, but what she was most worried about was that her child didn't speak.
Ran Qingxuan's excuse for coming to the Zhao family was to treat Zhao Qingsheng, so he continued the treatment at noon before leaving.
Generally, there are two main reasons why children aged four or five cannot speak. One is that they are born unable to speak, or that neurological problems cause delayed language development in the child. It is not ruled out that the problem is caused by brain or nervous system diseases.
Another type is acquired influence, which may be due to various reasons such as one's own emotional problems, family environment, etc., which lead to insufficient speech ability.
At noon, Ran Qingxuan had already done a preliminary examination and found that the child's oral cavity was fully developed. She had seen everything that happened today and knew most of the reasons, so she knew exactly how to treat it.
Zhao Qingsheng watched his mother being punished and beaten at a very young age. Afterwards, Qi Huan must have repeatedly told him not to tell anyone.
