Sure enough, the next day, the gatekeeper reported that the stone lions at the gate were gone!
Lin Ruhai was amazed; it had never been like this before.
He then told Shen Ajiao and Lin Daiyu that this prediction was brilliant.
But Ah Jiao couldn't stand it.
Carrying knives and leading men, they rushed to the Jia family to demand the stone lions!
Don't those stone lions have any dignity?!
People all over the street saw the Lin family's group heading towards the Jia family and wondered what had happened.
Go and inquire.
I just found out that yesterday, the Second Master Bao of Rongguo Mansion smashed the jade at the entrance of the Lin family's house and stole the stone lion in the middle of the night!
People from the capital? The Jia family is truly insane!!
When the Jia family heard that the Lin family had come to ask for stone lions, they were taken aback. The old lady was ill and Lady Wang was chanting Buddhist prayers, so they informed Wang Xifeng.
Upon hearing that Madam Lin had arrived, Wang Xifeng hurriedly tidied herself up to greet her.
【My dear Feng, what are you still doing in the Jia mansion? If you don't leave soon, you'll be thrown into jail!】
Wang Xifeng was taken aback. She had already been making preparations, acquiring many sacrificial fields and other items, and had recently made up for the dowry she had been giving away to the Jia family over the years. All she needed was an opportunity.
But such an opportunity is hard to find!
Seeing Shen Ajiao's eyes light up, does Mrs. Lin have connections?
When Shen Ajiao met Wang Xifeng, she directly stated her purpose. Wang Xifeng was taken aback. Stone lion? Stealing someone else's stone lion?
He grabbed a servant and asked, "Who stole the Lin family's stone lion last night?"
“It’s Zhou Rui’s family… no… no, Second Madam didn’t go out, no one went out.”
Wang Xifeng slapped him across the face, "You good-for-nothing, take Mrs. Lin to find her!"
The servant covered his face, groaning and remaining motionless. Wang Xifeng sneered, "Beat him! Beat him until he tells you."
"Second Madam, please spare me! I really didn't know anything. I only heard a little bit about it last night."
Wang Xifeng was pondering what happened last night. She knew that the old lady was sick, but she didn't know how she got sick. She only heard Madam Wang cursing and crying. When she saw Baoyu looking dazed, she got annoyed and left. Good heavens, so she went to the Lin family yesterday!
Pah, shameless.
Shen Ajiao hurriedly recounted what had happened yesterday. Wang Xifeng frowned deeply, only letting go after a long while. Her eyes, which were now shining brightly, were now open to Shen Ajiao. Wasn't this the perfect opportunity?
Mrs. Lin was truly her savior, her benefactor!
Oh, God, she must offer three sticks of incense to Mrs. Lin every day, praying for her to live a long and prosperous life.
(Shen Ajiao: Thank you, sister!!!)
Shen Ajiao pushed Wang Xifeng's hand away, "Quickly give me back my stone lion."
It doesn't look good without one!
"Yes, yes, yes, I'll definitely return it! Mrs. Lin, please calm down. If you can't find it, my family will compensate you!"
The only decent thing about your house is the stone lions at the entrance; they're passable.
Wang Xifeng? ? ? I didn't do anything, did I?
Shen Ajiao, "Really?"
“Really!” Wang Xifeng immediately stretched out her hand to swear an oath, and Shen Ajiao did not stop her, after all, swearing an oath is a bit more sophisticated than bragging.
Wang Xifeng led Shen Ajiao all the way to Madam Wang's courtyard. Only she could do such a thing, after all, Madam Wang treasured that jade the most.
Is the second wife here?
"They've gone to see Master Bao," the servant replied.
"Not here?"
[Did he run away carrying the stone lion?]
Wang Xifeng immediately pinned down the maid and shouted sternly, "Tell me, where did you put the stone lions that Second Madam had people move last night?"
"This servant has no idea what stone lions are!"
"You bastard, you're still stubborn even if you get beaten to a pulp! Beat him up!"
Mrs. Lin has already presented her with an opportunity, and she still won't seize it and make a scene. It's probably not going to be easy for her.
The maid was slapped twice, her vision blurred and her head spinning. She had no choice but to confess, "The Second Madam smashed it last night!"
"Smashed?"
Shen Ajiao looked at Wang Xifeng.
[Damn it, I knew it! I knew it!] Luckily I hid the original one, otherwise I would have lost a lot of money!
"Pay me back!"
Wang Xifeng looked embarrassed and fawned, "Oh dear, Mrs. Lin, look how quick you are, Second Madam. Here, you can move our things out of the mansion."
Shen Ajiao didn't mince words with Wang Xifeng; she was straightforward and immediately told people to move the items.
After the maid was beaten, she hurriedly ran to inform Madam Wang, who was feeding Baoyu medicine. Baoyu had been somewhat mentally impaired since returning last night.
She consulted countless doctors, but none of them could diagnose the problem. She was so anxious!
That jade was Baoyu's lifeblood.
After thinking it over, I realized it was all the stone lion's fault for damaging the jade!
Enraged, he ordered someone to steal the stone lion overnight, bring it over, and smash it to pieces in front of Baoyu.
But Baoyu remained unresponsive, so Lady Wang hurriedly ordered people to repair the jade overnight, no matter how many people or how much money it would cost!
Baoyu was taking his medicine when he heard someone say that the Lin family had come to ask for the stone lion.
She didn't even ask, so how would anyone know it was her?
Where is the evidence?
She had all the stone lions smashed and scattered to the ground; they can't be found anywhere!
She hasn't even settled accounts with them yet because Baoyu's jade is broken!
How dare you come to her asking for the stone lion!
Pooh!
If anything happens to Baoyu, she will risk her life to make them pay with their lives!
Just as I was about to go and pray to Buddha and recite some scriptures, I saw her maid in her room with a swollen face, crying and sobbing.
"Madam! Second Madam, Second Madam knows! Mrs. Lin wants to move the stone lions at our gate!"
Madam Wang gritted her teeth so hard they almost fell to the ground, then slammed her hand on the table. "This is outrageous!"
"She can move those stone lions!"
