Chapter 222 Checking the Engagement Gift
"It's from the Luo family. They came to give gifts today."
Lu Lingyun suddenly became nervous when she heard this, and for a moment, she quickly put the things together.
It turned out that Yang was here to cause trouble. She took advantage of the fact that there were many people watching during the wedding ceremony and secretly did something in Wang's family.
She wanted to remind Jiang, but she saw Jiang's face was calm and his eyes were cold, "Keep an eye on those people and pass on my order. If there is a theft in the house, close all the doors! Catch the thief!"
Jiang looked like the mistress of the family, calm and composed, with great dignity.
Lu Lingyun met her eyes, was stunned for a moment and then couldn't help laughing. She was really too concerned and forgot that this was Jiang's.
Jiang is not a simple girl like Shuanghong.
She still needed her repeated reminders. After she saw the true colors of her niece and her family, she no longer needed any more reminders from her, so she became defensive.
Drive them away immediately to prevent them from having any intention of harming the Wang family.
Even though he later agreed to hold the wedding ceremony at the Wang family due to family ties, he had already kept a tight rein on the family early on.
He replaced a group of servants and told them to keep a close eye on everyone who came in and out today and not give anyone any chance to take advantage.
Sure enough, she caught someone and did something bad to him.
Jiang was well prepared and soon the front hall became chaotic.
"Sister-in-law, what's going on?" Jiang Qianzhu's mother, Liu, came running over first. She was checking the list of betrothal gifts in the yard with a smile on her face. Then the people below started to make a commotion. They cordoned off the yard and did not allow anyone to enter or leave.
"There was a burglary in my house just now, and several valuable items were lost." Jiang stared into her eyes and said.
When Liu heard this, she was stunned. She obviously didn't know what was going on and looked at a loss.
"This, this, this..."
If something is lost, we should investigate, but today is her daughter's wedding day, can't we wait and see? It won't be too late to talk about it in the evening!
"Aunt, why did you ask people to close all the doors of the mansion and not let anyone in or out!" At this time, Jiang Qianzhu ran in.
She looked nervous.
"There was a theft in our courtyard and we are trying to catch the thief." Jiang repeated, his eyes fixed on Jiang Qianzhu's face.
Jiang Qianzhu's heart skipped a beat when she heard this, and her face was filled with nervousness, but she quickly said, "The door can't be closed. Today is the day of my wedding, and everyone has to go in and out."
Jiang glanced at her and said, "What was lost in the mansion was your uncle's general's token. If it was stolen, the whole family would be in trouble."
Jiang Qianzhu lowered her head immediately after hearing this. Liu said, "How can such an important thing be lost? We must investigate it immediately."
Jiang Qianzhu was anxious, "Mom, the Luo family members are about to leave. I can't lock them up here today because I'm celebrating my birthday."
"You can't be too willful. Your uncle's token is of great importance. Check it first and let him go after the check is completed." Liu said.
No matter how jealous and jealous she is of the Jiang family, she would not dare to be confused about major issues.
After all, this is still in the Wang family. If something happens, they might all be implicated.
Liu can still tell what is more important.
But Jiang Qianzhu was extremely anxious at this time. She looked at the servants searching everywhere and ran outside in a hurry.
"A married girl is like spilled water. She's already looking at that place before she even enters the house." Mrs. Liu said with a little embarrassment when she saw Jiang Qianzhu losing her composure.
Jiang and Lu Lingyun looked at each other, both of them had solemn expressions in their eyes.
At this time, Jiang's housekeeper, Madam, came running in and said, "Madam, we have checked everywhere, but we can't find it."
When Mrs. Liu heard this, she hurriedly said, "Maybe the things are not lost. How about asking the Luo family to go back first and we can check again?"
Mrs. Liu didn't want to delay her daughter's wedding ceremony. It was so unlucky that all the Luo family members were trapped here.
"There's still one place that hasn't been checked!" Jiang looked outside with cold eyes and walked outside.
Lu Lingyun followed in small steps.
Liu understood immediately, "Are you going to check the betrothal gift?"
Jiang and Lu Lingyun walked outside to the yard where the betrothal gifts were placed. At this time, all the people from the Luo family who came to deliver gifts were in this yard. Jiang Qianzhu was standing next to a pile of betrothal gifts, and several servants of the Luo family followed her.
Jiang's housekeeper, the eldest nanny, stepped forward and whispered in Jiang's ear, "Madam, those were the people who were wandering around the main courtyard just now."
In an instant, Jiang's heart felt as cold as ice.
She looked at Jiang Qianzhu, who met Jiang's gaze through the crowd and dodged immediately.
Jiang led the people to her and said, "Open the box and check it!"
When Jiang Qianzhu heard this, she immediately raised her head and widened her eyes, "No! How can you check my betrothal gift!"
"Qianzhu, we have checked all other places, and this is the only place left." Liu came over and explained, while looking at Jiang, "Aunt, these are Qianzhu's betrothal gifts. It will be embarrassing if we check them."
"Investigate!" Jiang said coldly.
Jiang Qianzhu was furious at this time, "You are just humiliating me! You can't stand seeing me doing well! Can't I just not celebrate the wedding at your house? I'll take my betrothal gift back!"
"Today, everything in my general's mansion must be checked! If we don't check it, I don't think anyone dares to leave this door!" Jiang stared at Jiang Qianzhu coldly.
The more I look, the colder my heart becomes and the colder my eyes become.
"Aunt, today is Qianzhu's big day, there's no need for you to make such a fuss." Mrs. Liu said.
"You were the ones who asked to come to my house for the wedding ceremony, not me who asked you to come! I have done my best for your family, but you are ungrateful and ungrateful. Don't blame me for turning against you!"
Mrs. Liu got angry when she heard this.
How could it be so serious to repay kindness with enmity and be ungrateful...It wasn't her fault that something was lost in their house!
Hearing her say that, it seemed like their family was plotting something against her!
"I just won't allow anyone to touch my things." Jiang Qianzhu still insisted.
"Check it for her!" Mrs. Liu said.
"Mom! No!"
"It's as if we are harming their family!" Mrs. Liu opened the betrothal gift box herself. "Jiang Yilan, the whole Jiang family was in trouble at the beginning, and you were the only one left in the capital. The Jiang family gave birth to you and raised you. Your parents were so good to you, and your brother was so good to you, but you forgot everything! For so many years, you just cared about living a good life for yourself and ignored us! Now that your niece has finally married into a good family, you want to ruin it. You just can't stand us doing well!"
"Check it out! Check it out! Check to see if we have touched your things! You are such a ruthless and ungrateful person!"
While cursing, Liu quickly opened several heavy boxes. In full view of the crowd, a roll of imperial edict appeared in Jiang Qianzhu's betrothal gift box.
"Mother, mother!"
When Jiang Qianzhu saw things being turned out, she screamed in panic.
Liu also stopped at this time. She turned her head and saw a rolled-up imperial edict lying inside.
