Chapter 183: The Real Ruler
"Okay, it's all a misunderstanding, don't make it unpleasant. Do whatever you have to do. "The housekeeper began to tell everyone to disperse, not to gather around to watch the excitement.
"Butler, don't get involved in this matter, even if he Liu Xuan is a guest, he is now a suspect. ”
"Young master, just like Liu Xuan said, this matter is not a trivial matter, the Shangguan family is a wealthy family, you can't just wronged people casually, you can only point out who you can correct if you come up with evidence, and now there is no reason to suspect Liu Xuan. ”
Liu Xuan suddenly felt that this old housekeeper was still good. Since he arrived at Shangguan's house, he has almost always been with Shangguan Jinyue, although he also has some separate time, but the key is why he wants to steal paintings.
Relying on his relationship with Shangguan Jinyue and Shangguan Yinyue, he can ask for a painting. Moreover, no matter how expensive this famous painting is, it can not be hundreds of millions, and how much money did he spend on Shangguan Jinyue's investment in Zhongzhou alone, these are small numbers.
Not to mention that he is the Liu family, but to say that he still has this money, he can't fight with others for this, it's just too boring. I even dared to show them my deposit certificate
He didn't know that he was busy with Mrs. Shangguan's affairs now, so why he inexplicably offended the two young masters and deducted a hat for himself.
Perhaps, he has unknowingly threatened them? But no, he is not the illegitimate son of the Shangguan family, even if Shangguan Jinyue is favored again, the position of the head of the Shangguan family will not be given to a woman, not to mention that Shangguan Jinyue is not a favored person.
"But......" When Brother Jin Yue was still trying to argue something, Old Man Shangguan came in.
"What is the noise, I heard the noise inside outside, and I don't know what happened? This is the Shangguan family's mansion, not the vegetable market, it's messy, what kind of system is it?"
"I'm sorry, old lady, something happened, because the subordinates didn't take care of the people below, everyone came to see the excitement, and it made a mess for a while. The old butler was the first to admit his mistake.
"What does it have to do with you, I'm not deaf, and the three young people who heard the loudest voices were these three young people. What the hell is going on, can someone explain it to me?"
"That's right, grandpa, we suspect that Liu Xuan stole a famous painting in the Silver Moon Studio, after all, everything was fine before he came to the house, but it turned out that there was one less painting when he was cleaning today, so he ......"
Who knows, Shangguan Jinyang was interrupted before he finished speaking. "Alright, I know what you're going to say. Just let you briefly describe what happened, and come up directly with your own subjective will, then what else is there to say. ”
Hearing this, the Jin Yue brothers directly lowered their heads, facing their grandfather, their momentum suddenly lost the arrogance they had just now. And Liu Xuan saw all this, and felt that the old man really shouldn't pass on the head of the family to his son, there was no one who could be more domineering than him.
"Grandpa, I admit that I went to the studio with Jin Yue in the middle, but I only went there once, and the two of us went together. I can guarantee that I didn't steal the famous paintings there, and I still have a good relationship with Yinyue, and I don't understand why I stole her things. Liu Xuan said.
"Who can prove that you haven't been in again? Besides, there is no one else in the house except you, and who else can move a painting without a clue and not be discovered?"
"That's it, you don't feel annoyed, I'm tired of it. There is no real evidence, just because I am an outsider and directly wronged me like this, then who dares to come to Shangguan's house casually in the future, it is simply terrible, if you accidentally lose something, it will be blamed on someone else's head. ”
"What Liu Xuan said is very reasonable, my Shangguan family will never wronged others at will. What's more, Liu Xuan is a guest, haven't you learned your etiquette class well? How can you talk to a guest like this? Also, I remember that you were also going to the company today, why didn't you go, but instead made trouble here?"
"Grandpa, we're going, and we're going to go to the company now. It's just that when I heard the servant talk about it, I wanted to reason with Liu Xuan, after all, that painting was not cheap, and it was lost for no reason, and we just wanted to find out the truth. ”
"I don't need you to figure it out, I think it would have gotten messier and messier if it had you. You go to the company now, I hope you don't hang around at home these days. Also, I'll ask the housekeeper to arrange for the teacher to give you an etiquette lesson. ”
After saying these words, the old man Shangguan waved his hand and motioned for the gold and silver brothers to leave. The two of them didn't dare to say anything more. Although grandpa is not the head of the family now, everyone knows that grandpa is the most powerful person in the family, and everyone else is nothing.
They are still in awe of their grandfather's authority. So he bowed to his grandfather and left. Although I was still angry in my heart, I didn't dare to show it, after all, I had just been trained, and now I must maintain a well-behaved appearance.
"Butler, you heard what I just said, go and arrange for the etiquette class of the two young masters to be retaken. Also, as for the missing painting, you send someone to investigate it and see what the hell is going on. ”
"Grandpa, I think the painting is very simple, there is no need to investigate, as long as you search the studio carefully, you should find clues, and you can probably know where the painting is hidden. Liu Xuan said.
"You don't think the painting was lost?"
"It's all my own people, they're all familiar people, there are surveillance and security guards everywhere, even if there is a thief's heart, there is no thief's courage, of course, even if this person knows this place very well. Why did you steal a painting? I've heard that it wasn't the most expensive painting at all, except for its smaller size. ”
"Go on, I'd like to hear what you mean. ”
"This is Shangguan's family, whether it is an outside or an internal thief, this person has wasted so much effort, can it be said that he just wants to steal a random painting? Judging from all indications, it is impossible for this person to go out at all, so he can only do it by his own people. ”
"It's impossible, the servants in the house have been screened a lot, and our supervision is also very strong, how dare they do such a thing?" the old butler felt a little incredible.
"A thief is not necessarily a servant, some people's purpose is not the value of the painting, but to find a painting that is easy to take out of the studio and not easy to be convenient. So after looking at the dimensions, I finally chose this painting. ”
"Speaking of which, it's still a thief. Just say it, who do you suspect?"
"I don't confirm it, because there is no evidence, I just listened to you now, and I haven't been to the scene, and I need your further investigation and evidence collection. After all, I'm a strict person, and I won't just give people a hat. ”
"Is that irony?"
"Of course I don't dare, the juniors are guests, so I don't dare to speak disrespectfully. I just want to maintain my reputation. What's more, when I came, I also told you that I am from the Liu family, and I don't want the reputation of the Liu family to be hacked for no reason. ”
"The reputation of the Liu family is very big, and it will not be easily erased because of this trivial matter. Since you have speculation, you must have something to say, let's talk about it, and give the housekeeper a clue to investigate the case. ”
"Oh well. Actually, I suspect that this person didn't really want the painting, he knew everything about the studio, but he didn't know about me. For example, I don't have that much interest in the studio, and the reason why I go there is only because I'm a friend of Yinyue. ”
"However, you have only been here for a few days, and many people in the Shangguan family don't know about you except for Miss, and the scope is too large. The old butler said.
"Don't worry, I'm not done yet. This man probably did such a thing to frame me, although I don't know why he did it. But the result of the reasoning is this, he is only trying to frame me, and has no other purpose. Liu Xuan said.
"The reason, well, is not very convincing. This is Shangguan's house, even if this matter is not big, but it is noisy, we will all know, how can I just want to frame you, what's the use? Can I change my opinion of you? And then I don't allow you to be with Jin Yue? These are my thoughts, and no one can easily change them. ”
"Grandpa, he doesn't want to change big things, maybe he just wants your impression of me to be bad. Although it is a trivial matter, but for a family, these are daily etiquette, once a mistake is made, it will be remembered, I don't say it to Jin Yue in advance, I will be a bad person in the eyes of the servants. ”
"I kind of see who you're referring to. Alright, butler, go and look down in this direction. If you have any news, just tell me directly, don't report it to the head of the house. Also, don't make a big deal about this matter, don't make my Shangguan family very boring. ”
"Yes, old lady. Any other commands?"
"Well, I have something to announce lately, so you can send someone to pick up Yinyue tomorrow, and call her in the evening to tell her first. Let her go home as soon as possible. You do this first, don't make a noise, even if others know, you don't need to say anything, especially for the old master and the young master. The old man Shangguan admonished.
"Okay, my subordinates know, then I'll go down first. With that, he turned and left.
"You're so casual, are you, just summoning Silver Moon back with such an excuse? There's something to announce, and no matter how you hear it, it won't be a trivial matter. It's just a thunderbolt. Liu Xuan said.
"What you say depends on the identity of the person who says it. For someone of my status, it's not strange to say such a thing, but can you find other more suitable excuses?" asked the old man Shangguan rhetorically.
"But if you say that, I think those two young masters know, including the head of the family, they will definitely think more. Although the position of the head of the family has been passed down now, the Shangguan family's company has not yet been specifically divided, so it is difficult to say what they will think. ”
"Then let them think whatever they want, and I'll be in control in the end anyway. I say this to divert their attention and make them understand that everything in the Shangguan family is not in vain, and you have to contribute to the Shangguan family, and don't know about happiness all day long. ”
"What is this? Remind them to be prepared for danger in times of peace?"
"I've barely managed it over the years, because I'm too lazy to take care of it, not that I can't manage it. But I still know the current state of the Shangguan family, whether it is good or bad as a whole, and I don't know what the head of the family is doing all day. Look at my two grandsons, who aren't even in the company during normal working hours, and they really want to me off. ”
"The rich second generation is like this, not to mention that they are all rich third generations, you just worry about being useless, unless you want to change the heir. No, you don't really want to change the heir, do you? That would really be a thunderbolt, not only for the Shangguan family, but also for the outside world. Liu Xuan was frightened by his own speculation.
