Several people were confused at first, but after they opened it and took a look, their expressions changed.
Seeing the five expressions becoming more and more terrifying, Xiao Cunyu felt even more nervous...
"Brother, why don't you just be frank... Did you know I ate meat in the ancestral hall last night?" Xiao Cunyu asked, his heart hardening. "I was also extremely hungry. I talked to our ancestors and asked them about it. They agreed so I only ate a few bites."
"Seventh brother." Xiao Jingyun said calmly, "Don't be afraid. I'm not going to punish you today. I just have some questions for you."
After hearing this, Xiao Cunyu finally felt relieved.
"Brother, you should have told me earlier. I was scared to death!" Xiao Cunyu let out a breath, shrank back in his chair, and looked much more casual.
After a while, I finished reading them all.
"Brother, is what is written in this letter true?" Xiao Guantang couldn't believe it.
"It's true. The government records the transfer of these properties, and most of them were before my seventh brother was born. But no one knows where the money from the sales went."
Upon hearing this, Xiao Cunyu immediately understood what was going on.
It turned out that the secret of her fifth room was exposed!
A little panicked.
After all, the way her father sold the business was too strange, and she was afraid that her eldest brother and the others would have to get to the bottom of it. Once they found out that her parents had concealed her gender, it would be troublesome.
"Seventh brother, where did the money that fifth uncle left for you go?" Xiao Yingting asked bluntly.
Xiao Cunyu's face turned pale: "What silver..."
"The money from selling the property." Xiao Yingting added.
"No." Xiao Cunyu shook his head. "Didn't you all check? I don't have any money. Ever since I became a little more sensible, I've been earning my own money."
"Then why did Fifth Uncle sell the family business? Did he encounter some difficulties in the clan land back then? But if so, grandfather would definitely know. Why didn't he leave a single word?" Xiao Pingji was also confused.
"Go ask my father. I want to know where he put the things my grandfather left me!" Xiao Cunyu snorted, "I'm so poor, brothers, why don't you... help me a little?"
She acted so mean and didn't seem to care about it at all.
The brothers also thought that they would be more careful with their seventh brother's money in the future, but after hearing what he said, they felt it was not easy to just give him the money.
Aid?
If outsiders knew that my seventh brother didn't even have money, he would never be able to get married in the future and had to rely on his brothers for support. His reputation would become even worse.
Of course, the silver and property must be given, but they cannot be spread out.
"Seventh brother, this matter is very important, you should think about it carefully..." Xiao Jingyun said in a gentle voice.
Xiao Cunyu, however, refused to buy it. "What should I think? My father died shortly after I was born, and I didn't know him well." Xiao Cunyu sighed, "My mother was also a sickly child. She was raised by a wet nurse from the moment I was born, and I rarely saw her. She never spoke to me much, so I know nothing about her."
She is telling the truth.
Her parents in this life are definitely a weird pair.
Logically speaking, since she was reborn with all her memories, she should be able to secretly overhear her parents' private conversations, but that was not the case at all.
All the news about her when she was still in swaddling clothes came from the people below. All she knew was that her parents were as beautiful as fairies, but neither of them was in good health. Her father loved reading and painting, and the couple lived in harmony with each other.
However, when she grew up a little, she did not see any painting of a beautiful woman with her mother in the study.
Of course, she could see her biological mother once every few days. Besides, the wet nurse who took care of her had died a long time ago. Apart from her parents and the wet nurse, it was estimated that only the midwife knew her true gender.
