Chapter 1394： Extra 范子 衿 (11)

  Xia Tong returned home and saw Fan Siwen's homework in Fan Zixiao's examination school as if nothing had happened. She felt a chill, looked at their father and son coldly, turned around and went back to the house.

Fan Siwen was a little uncomfortable, he had been waiting for Xia Tong to make trouble with him, and even prepared to be beaten, but seeing her so calm, he was inexplicably a little uneasy.

After thinking about it, Fan Siwen still asked Fan Zixiao to leave and went to find Xia Tong himself.

But the main courtyard was already closed, and the old woman who guarded the door said to him through a door: "Master, my wife said that she is not feeling well, you might as well go to Aunt Liu's place to rest tonight."

Fan Siwen's face was blue and red, this was the first time Xia Tong pushed him outside, he was so angry that he walked away, but he still didn't go to Aunt Liu's place, but went to the study.

Fan Siwen thought about it for a long time, and finally called the housekeeper and said, "As soon as the city gate opens tomorrow, you will ask someone to go out to chase the young master. Most of them will go to the military camp to find the two uncles of the Zhu family, or they will run towards the young master. Go, you two go to chase."

Fan Siwen consciously explained to Xia Tong, so he pulled the quilt to sleep.

Xia Tong didn't sleep a night, she asked people to wait at the city gate as soon as the curfew ended, and they were chased in two ways.

But Fan Zijin is not a fool. They had already delayed a day yesterday, and the journey was slow, so they would definitely be caught up, so he decided to take the trail.

As a result, they not only missed the two groups of people who came to chase them, but also escaped the pursuit of the Wu family.

The two who were on the road didn't know how lucky they were, and Mr. Wu didn't take Qi Haoran's running away from home at first.

Although the marriage between Qi Xiuyuan and the Wu family will be postponed, she and Qi Feng are equally confident that Qi Haoran will not be able to endure the hardships outside and come back, so the wedding banquet will be held at that time.

She escaped hard, knew how hard it was outside, and also knew that two and a half-year-old teenagers would be very uncomfortable if they didn’t have enough money, and who could bear that kind of hardship from a young age?

Northland is too far from the capital, and there are refugees and robbers on the road. Qi Haoran will always have a day he can't bear to return home.

Mr. Wu is very confident.

So I didn't express any opinion on this matter, how to live my life or how to live.

The reason why she had to kill them was because the shop sent the new quarter's earnings, and she locked the retained silver in the box as usual.

But she found that her key couldn't open the lock!

Mr. Wu tried several times, frowning tightly, thinking that the lock or the key was broken, so he called someone to pick the lock, and planned to change the lock.

This wardrobe contains some fabrics and clothes that are not commonly used, and it is rarely opened several times a year, and every time she opens it, she wants to withdraw or save money. The place doesn't even know her personal maid.

So you can imagine how shocked and angry Mr Wu was when he saw the empty box.

That's more than fifty thousand taels, the wealth she has accumulated for twelve years!

That's right, Qi Haoran thought it was money from the Qi Mansion, but it was actually Wu's private money.

Wu was a concubine when Qi Fengna entered the door. Her dowry only had two boxes, which contained some clothes and fabrics. There was not even a hundred taels of silver at the bottom of the box.

At that time, the Wu family fled south with the imperial court, and lost a lot of property on the way, and it cost a lot to re-establish the family business in the capital, which was expensive. This is why the Wu family was willing to give Qi Feng a concubine.

It can be said that the Wu family did not have much dowry when she married into the Qi family, but since the death of Zhu Wan, the Wu family has mastered the Qi family. The annual boxing in and out, the income from shops and farms, and Qi Feng's ice and charcoal are all required. Through her hands, she kept a little bit at a time, and then misappropriated some of the money from the public. She worked hard for twelve years to save more than 50,000 taels.

But the money disappeared under her nose, and Wu shi fainted.

The girl outside heard the movement and called out several times in a row. She pushed the door and came in, only to see Mrs. Wu, who had fainted on the ground. She panicked.

When Mrs Wu woke up, she saw Qi Feng, and she couldn't help crying because of the grievances.

Qi Feng asked distressedly, "What's wrong with you? The doctor said that you were extremely angry. Who made you angry?"

Mr. Wu opened his mouth and couldn't say anything at all.

Qi Feng knew all the things she brought in the door back then, and although the Wu family has developed a lot in recent years, and some children are working, it is impossible to give her so much money. If you tell Qi Feng that she has lost so much money, he will She didn't even have to think about it to understand that she was greedy for the public's money.

She could only wipe her tears and make an excuse: "My concubine listened to some gossip outside, saying that my stepmother abused my stepson, and this forced Haoran to run away from home. The concubine felt aggrieved physically and mentally, and she couldn't think of it for a while... "

Qi Feng frowned, clenched her hand and said, "Who is so talkative?"

"It was all discussed in private by wives with unknown reasons outside, and it happened that I overheard it."

"You shouldn't associate with them in the future. I know you never care about their brothers in order to avoid suspicion. I know in my heart that you are good."

Mr. Wu nodded slowly, leaned on his shoulder and said, "I know, but when I hear other people talking like that, I can't be calm."

Qi Feng patted her on the shoulder comfortingly. Naturally, he knew about the rumors outside. He was being discussed in private, not to mention Mrs. Wu?

Mr. Wu fooled the matter, but the lost money had to be recovered. She knew that this matter could not be investigated with great fanfare, so she called the wet nurse and her personal girl to visit unannounced.

But after checking for a long time, there is no news at all.

Mother Wu whispered to Mrs Wu, "Madam, it's impossible for a girl to steal so much money. They don't have the guts. This family is full of people who dare to do such a thing."

Wu's complexion changed slightly, "But he has never even come to my yard, let alone my house, how did he steal it?"

Mother Wu pondered: "After all, Mrs. Zhu has been a steward for many years, and there are always some secret chess left behind. Maybe they are instructed to do it, ma'am, they are sure that you will not dare to speak up."

Mr. Wu gritted his teeth, pulled his handkerchief and said, "Nursing, take someone to search his yard in person to see if you find anything."

Mother Wu agreed, and excused herself to tidy up the room for the Fourth Young Master to search. Not to mention, she found a lock under the bed that was deformed by Qi Haoran, and there was a wardrobe missing a lock in Qi Haoran's room.

Mr. Wu looked at the two locks in front of him, his face turned blue and then red, and after a while, he said in a hoarse voice, "Go and fetch the key to the wardrobe in the fourth young master's house."

Because Qi Haoran has not lived in Qi Mansion for a long time, he has very few things in the mansion. Therefore, the servants of various key supervisors in his house have backups. They don't have to ask for the keys when preparing for what he tells them to take. can get.

Mr. Wu used his power to press people, and there were only a few pieces of clothes in the closet. Qi Haoran's servant hesitated and handed over the keys.

Mr. Wu used that key to unlock the lock of her wardrobe. What else is there to understand?

Qi Haoran stole her money and replaced the lock with his.

Mr. Wu gritted his teeth with hatred, and said in a cold tone, "If that's the case, don't blame me for being cruel!"
