Chapter 229: A Black Account
Li Changqing quickly ordered a few people to inspect the yard properly. Mama Wei took the initiative to ask Chen Wormwood to go to the rancid smell in the yard, Li Changqing sat in the house, took out the things in his arms, and wiped them clean with a handkerchief, only to find that it was a copper cross iron sheet with some tooth-like teeth on it.
She didn't think of this because of the strangeness of the key, but soon, she thought of another person. brought Han Ying and soon went to Mother Ye's house.
Mother Ye was cooking lunch for the child at this time, and when she saw Li Changqing coming, she was very enthusiastic. Seeing this, Li Changqing pulled Mother Ye aside, and asked straight to the point: "You can know this thing?" As he spoke, he took the key out of his arms and handed it to Mother Ye.
Mother Ye just glanced at it, her face changed, and she asked eagerly, "Miss, where did you get the key to my dowry box." β
Li Changqing was slightly stunned, he had thought about a lot of situations when he came, but he didn't expect that it was actually Mother Ye's dowry key. "Mother Ye, can you take me over to have a look?" After coming back to his senses, Li Changqing quickly pleaded.
Mother Ye was a little stunned, and when she thought of her original home, she panicked inexplicably.
Li Changqing saw the strangeness and thought about how to speak, even though Mother Ye was very annoyed by the confusion that Steward Liu had caused to her before, but after all, they were husband and wife, as the saying goes: a husband and wife for a hundred days. Now that Steward Liu has ended up with this tragic situation, Li Changqing is also sorry.
Besides, looking at his father's appearance, he didn't plan to tell his family about Steward Liu's death. Li Changqing thought that instead of letting her be confused, it was better to tell the truth directly and make her feel broken at once. The latter is a bit cruel, but it's a good idea. After all, the two have not been together for a long time, and Mother Ye is living a very stable life now, besides, to be selfish, Brother Zhong Kui is full of enthusiasm but is waiting in the back.
Li Changqing didn't want Brother Zhong Kui to take advantage of others like this. Sometimes, however, women know women better than men do women. She was ignorant in her previous life, but in this life, she has thought through everything.
Just like why Ning Tianlin was allowed to hug her that day, just because her brain was completely blank at that time, even if Ning Tianlin hugged her, she didn't feel anything. On the contrary, afterwards, I asked myself strangely in my mind: If Xuanyuan Qi saw this scene, how would he react?
In fact, Xuanyuan Qi did see it. Ning Tianlin chose such a pavilion that was open on all sides, and it was nothing more than an idea to try to tell Xuanyuan to let him go and see: It turned out that this Li Changqing still subconsciously accepted him in his heart.
Therefore, after Xuanyuan Qi went back, he lost his temper, and he was so frightened that he didn't dare to approach the master for half a month, and even the entire Six Princes' Mansion was shrouded in gloomy gloom.
In the end, so much so that Xuanyuan Qi was so angry that he actually sent someone to give Ning Tianlin a big gift.
As for what kind of gift, that was what Ning Tianlin only discovered after returning to Nanding Kingdom.
Now, Li Changqing stared at the panicked Mother Ye and asked again: "Can Mother Ye take me over to have a look." "To be able to hide the key under your tongue before you die, I am afraid that the contents of this box are even more important.
And Steward Liu has been with Wang Ruzhen for so long, and now that he has rebelled, he will leave some handles in his hands. Otherwise, how dare you not be afraid of Wang Ruzhen's secret revenge after Wang Ruzhen returned from Zhuangzi on weekdays?
Besides, Wang Ruzhen is not a kind master, she is a tight jealous woman who will repay her.
Besides, Steward Liu later did things for Li Changqing, which made Wang Ruzhen even more unacceptable from a certain Cheng dΓΉ.
It's just that this time, the days of patience have been too long, otherwise, Steward Liu would have had an accident until now. Although Li Changqing felt sorry for Steward Liu, he didn't want Mother Ye to have any danger to her life because of Steward Liu's death. Therefore, it is necessary and necessary to go through this experience today.
"Miss, please, wait a moment." Mother Ye entered the stove room, hurriedly fished out the noodles in the pot, mixed them into fried noodles and put them on the plate, and put the appetizing radish in the plate, and when this qiΔ was ready, she asked Han Ying to take care of the two children, and then she was going to take Li Changqing out to her ancestral house.
Just as he was walking a few steps, Zhong Kui came back from outside. He could have had lunch at Phoenix Restaurant, but Zhong Kui always went home on time at noon to eat the food cooked by Ye's mother. Now that I entered the door and saw Mother Ye's eyes red, I was a little worried, so I couldn't help but glance at Li Changqing, and my eyes were inquiring.
Li Changqing nodded slightly, signaling that there was nothing wrong, and when Mother Ye saw this, she hurriedly lowered her head and said to Zhong Kui: "Brother Zhong, the food is sitting in the pot, you give the dog eggs and Ding Dong to eat, I still have something to do here." β
Zhong Kui rubbed his hands together and agreed honestly. Li Changqing saw that Brother Zhong was back, but she still let Han Ying follow, she was worried, what if Mother Ye's ancestral house was targeted and something happened? It's better to be reassured.
Zhong Kui didn't ask anything more, and watched the three of them leave, so he silently went to take care of the two children and served the table to eat.
Mother Ye's ancestral house is far away from where she lives now, almost to the outskirts of the city, and the three of them hired a carriage and walked quickly.
Since Mother Ye was picked up by Li Changqing, the ancestral house has been deserted, and everything is in the hands of Mother Ye.
The mahogany lacquered box is very delicately made. The outside of the box is carved with mandarin ducks playing in the water, which is lifelike, and Li Changqing is curious that Mother Ye's family has such a master.
Mother Ye Xu saw Li Changqing's doubts, so she said: "This is the dowry box that my father built for me, my father was a famous craftsman in Beijing before, and the workmanship was exquisite and meticulous, which was built because of my requirements, and even the lock was a concentric cross lock, and the whole Shangjing was unique, so when the young lady showed me the key, I recognized it." It's just that later my father went to do carpentry for a nobleman's house, and accidentally fell into a stinky ditch on the way, and died of suffocation, which left this one box, which is the only inheritance. β
So it was, Li Changqing suddenly realized.
There is only one key for this, and when he opened the box, Li Changqing saw it, almost all of them were some clothes, quilts and other dowry supplies, and he couldn't help but wonder, could it be that the key that Steward Liu risked his life to save was just a box of clothes?
So he stretched out his hand and groped around, until he touched a board at the bottom of the box, which was a little loose, so he stretched out his hand and shook it from side to side, pulled it open, and found a booklet in it.
Li Changqing took out the booklet, opened it and looked at it, and his eyes suddenly deepened.
It turned out to be a black account book.
Mother Ye was also frightened and covered her mouth, but she didn't expect her husband to hide this thing in her dowry box sometime.
Li Changqing didn't have time to take a closer look, he quickly put away the account book, and when the three of them were about to leave, they suddenly rushed out a few masked people and caught them off guard.
