Chapter 66: The Dowry Returns

Duan Xiang's face was a little distorted, how big a rat must have been?

"What's over there?"

“… It's a public treasury. ”

Duan Xiang stopped talking, and slapped his palm on the screen: "Find someone to immediately check the list and see what is missing?" ”

The chief butler said in a low voice, "Yes, the old slave will do it immediately, there is a dowry list here..."

Duan Xiang ignored him, and when he turned around, he happened to see a high shelf bed, carefully carved, carved guardrails on three sides, one side carved with naughty children playing, one side carved with Yishu Taoyao, and the other side was a rare green cloud straight up.

Duan Xiang seemed to see a pair of clear eyes looking at him expectantly by the bed...

One hand was gently placed on a pillar at the corner of the bed, on which was covered with a tube of brocade and cotton in it.

Duan Xiang recalled in a trance that he seemed to be in a hurry to get up once, and somehow his hand was thrown on the pillar, making a loud noise, which startled the man, like a frightened deer. When she came next time, she would have this brocade, and she was still looking at herself expectantly...

Duan Xiang couldn't help but sit on the shelf bed and stroked his chest, how could someone who didn't have a trace of emotion suddenly remember it clearly? Closing the eyes, like a small embroidery needle hidden in a heavy cotton coat, after years of grinding and rubbing, revealing the tip of the needle, gently pricked in the heart, it didn't hurt much, but it was very sore...

The chief butler took the people lightly to quickly check it out, let people withdraw, and carefully came to Duan Xiang who was outside the fugue world, handed over the transcription list, and said softly: "Master..."

Duan Xiang's eyelids moved, took the list, swept his eyes, and smiled: "Okay, it's good, they are all small, easy to carry and valuable jewelry toys." It seems that the hole is still a little bigger. ”

The butler didn't speak at this time.

Duan Xiang sighed: "Next door is the public treasury, who is the key to the public treasury?" The walls of the storeroom are thick and hard, and it takes a lot of effort to dig such a big hole, and the movement is not small, who do you think has the ability and courage to do this? ”

The big butler didn't speak anymore. It's lice on a bald man's head, it's obvious!

Duan Xiang asked him: "Do you say that I am a useless man who is stingy and can't feed the women in the backyard?" ”

The chief butler immediately said, "Of course not. The lord is the most generous person. ”

This is not a big butler's sycophant. The ladies and aunts in the backyard are not from high backgrounds, but their mothers are rich and poor. Xiangye is affectionate and considerate, so he gave each aunt, including Liu's, a Zhuangzi or a shop, more or less, for fear of being thin and widowed. The annual income goes into the courtyards, and the ownership is still in the house, but Duan Xiang has long said that when his daughter gets married, this is the dowry. And there are all kinds of good things on weekdays, Duan Xiang is also evenly distributed to all the courtyards, everyone is about the same, and the aunts are coaxed by him tenderly and sweetly, but they get along harmoniously without conflict. Now it seems that the aunts are satisfied, and the housewife feels that she has been neglected!

Duan Xiang got up and rushed to the main courtyard with the big housekeeper, his heart was full of anger, he dared to raise a mouse under the nose of Benxiang, I don't know how Benxiang cleaned up the household back then?

When Liu heard that the Yu family was gone, and the master did not return to look for her, he was just relieved, thinking that he had escaped. I saw Duan Xiang walking in with the big butler, his face as heavy as iron.

"You all go down."

There were only three people left in the room, and Liu's face was a little bad.

Duan Xiang shook the list in his hand: "Take out all these things." ”

Liu's legs froze, and he pursed his lips and was silent.

Duan Xiang said: "There is a big hole in the wall of the second lady's warehouse, does the third lady know?" ”

Liu said strongly: "The second lady's treasury has not been opened for many years, how is it inside, how can the concubine know?" ”

Duan Xiang smiled lightly: "There is a big hole in the wall of the public treasury, as the housewife in charge of the key, Liu, do you know?" ”

Liu's face turned white, and he watched the second lady's dowry lift again and again, locked up by three copper locks, and it was inevitable that his eyes would be red. But I really didn't have any thoughts. Since he was in charge of the public treasury, he happened to learn that the side of the wall was the treasury of the second lady, and the dowry that was carried up and carried was turning in front of his eyes all day long, and his heart burned in panic. She is not a saint, when she was a child, she also rolled with her mother for a head rope, so many good things were placed there to accumulate dust? Isn't this a lightning strike?

Duan Xiang chuckled again and shook the list in his hand: "Did you take it out yourself, or did I let my mother-in-law search it?" ”

Liu's face was pale, and although the man in front of him was still smiling, his eyes were like a pool of ice water, glowing with coldness.

Liu shivered, he got angry...

Liu dragged out a large wooden box from under the big cabinet in the room and motioned to the big butler behind Duan Xiang.

The chief butler lowered his head and took it, opened the list, and replied to Duan Xiang for a moment: "Master, there are still a few things missing, Nanzhu bracelet, red orchid treasure flying swallow hairpin, fish-shaped rose pendant, half-foot spring flower..."

Duan Xiang's gaze fell gloomily on Liu.

Liu secretly screamed badly, the bracelet and the golden hairpin were given to his daughter by himself, and the jade pendant seemed to be given to her as well? I forgot to tell my daughter to hide. What about Dendrobium, why don't you remember this thing?

Duan Xiang said coldly: "Bracelet, and hairpin jade pendant, it's not suitable for you to wear it at your age, right?" ”

Liu's eyes were sad, since he thought of giving it to his daughter, do you still want it back? It was his own daughter, but it was just a few things.

Duan Xiang looked at Liu, but instructed the chief housekeeper: "Go outside and call a mother-in-law and ask the fourth lady to send the things." ”

Liu shouted: "Master, it's just a thing, if you give it, you give it, you..."

Duan Xiang glared at her fiercely: "There are too many things in other people's houses, you go dig a hole and steal it." ”

Liu choked, fell on the couch and cried lowly.

Duan Xiang only stood and looked at her coldly.

After a while, Duan Si's dissatisfied voice came in through the curtain: "Mother, what are you doing?" The bracelet and hairpin, my daughter likes it so much, how can you take it back after you gave it to your daughter? Yu Pei and what flower girl have you never seen - Dad, you, you, you are also there? ”

Duan Si stood stupidly at the door, one foot was still outside the door, she turned her head stiffly, only to find her mother lying on the couch crying.

Duan Xiang only glanced at her: "Something brought?" ”

Duan Si was arrogant and domineering in front of the Liu family, but in front of Duan Xiang, she only dared to be a good kitten, she was really afraid of this father, although he was always kind to him.

No matter how unwilling he was, Duan Si still handed over the bracelet and hairpin. After the big housekeeper took it, he ran to the couch to help Liu and asked in a panic with his eyes.

The chief butler hesitated: "Master, these two pieces..."

Duan Xiang is so good at blocking his heart, since he admits it, he still doesn't hand over all the thieves and let himself be punished?

"What about fish-shaped roses and dendrobiums?"

The mother and daughter both trembled.

Liu is a little dazed, doesn't his daughter have it?

Duan Si thought of the piece of jade he had lost.

"Master, I don't remember, no."

"You-"

The chief butler suddenly thought of something, and in front of the three of them, he walked to the side of the wall, and removed the beauty bottle with dense flower branches, revealing a pair of small crystal flowers behind him.

Show him in front of Duan Xiang's eyes.

Liu Shi sighed in his heart, this pair of dendrobiums looked exquisite, but they were small and not magnificent, and they put them there after they took them, and they had long forgotten to clean them, so they didn't find them.

Duan Xiang digs Liu's eyes.

The big housekeeper whispered with a bitter face: "The little one vaguely remembers that the second lady mentioned an ear, this pair of dendrobiums is the marriage of the uncle's wife, and the scene above is still the garden of the uncle's mother's house..."

Duan Xiang jumped up when he heard this, walked to the desk and put the beauty bottle back, looked at the opposite side, and walked to the stool where guests usually sit and looked this way. The head is coaxed, it's over, I can just see it, Mrs. Yu came to the main courtyard not long ago...

Liu's mother and daughter are still at a loss, Duan Xiang just wants to strangle her, and he actually makes himself embarrassed in front of the Yu family, can he still live?

Duan Xiang spat out a turbid breath, estimating that this face had already been lost. He asked in a deep voice, "Where is the jade pendant?" ”

Liu subconsciously looked at Duan Si.

Duan Si looked away with a weak heart.

Duan Xiang, who had forced a confession, immediately understood, "Duan Yingtong, where is the jade pendant?" ”

Duan Siyi shuddered: "I don't know? My mother didn't give it to me. ”

Liu was at a loss again, did he give it or not?

Duan Xiangxiao smiled and stopped talking, stepped forward and pinched her chin, forcing her to look into her eyes, not saying anything, just watching.

Duan Si immediately collapsed, she was most afraid of looking at her father's eyes, as if there was a fierce beast hidden in it.

"Ah, I said, I said, woo, I secretly took it from my mother's house and went to the street, woo, but I lost it, woo, I went to find it again, I didn't find it, woo..."

Duan Xiang let go of her, his heart was blocked, it was so easy to confess, what kind of daughter is this, she has no integrity at all.

The next day, the few rooms vacated by the park welcomed in the large and small boxes of furniture and furniture, Yang Nianci's eyebrows and eyes were crooked, and he hugged Duan Xiang's arm and rubbed it hard, somewhat comforting his injured old heart.

Duan Xiang felt ashamed, whether it was to Yang Nianci or the second wife, in addition to the dowry of the second lady, he also brought the dowry for the marriage of his daughter-in-law, and he also took out the private silver.

Yang Nianci looked at the ancient book of incense making that Duan Xiang specially found for her, and smiled with crooked eyebrows, "Did the nurse see it?" In this way, my father is tired of Liu, and we have more benefits, which is not much better than direct. ”

The nurse smiled and nodded, too, if you want to be angry directly, I am afraid that you can only get back the lady's dowry. It's still so good, and I see that Xiangye is more attentive to Miss.

On the Yu family's side, Duan Xiang came to the door in a low voice for the first time, apologized for a long time, and took out a pair of top-quality mutton fat jade dragon and phoenix jade to wear, which was given today and was very precious. Old Man Yu immediately said that he would use this pair of jade pendants. As for Duan Xiang making up nonsense, hehe, anyway, everyone knows more about the truth than him, so let's leave it at that.

Old Man Yu happily ate an extra bowl of rice and held on.
