Chapter 123: What Does It Have to Do With You?
After the Qianqiu Festival, Xiao Se and Shen Yu held a wedding ceremony.
Then, the husband and wife were going to leave Anyang and go to the Heyang fiefdom.
Before leaving, Xiao Se gave Yan Ran a set of precious red jade heads, and said to her: "Your birthday will be in two months, but I won't have a chance to celebrate for you, so I'll give you a birthday gift in advance." β
As she spoke, she said sadly: "This farewell, I don't know when I will see you again." Next year, after you and Lu, it's time to have a wedding, and I didn't have a chance to attend. β
Yan Ran happily accepted the gift, but said: "I accepted the birthday gift, but the princess doesn't have to regret it, I shouldn't be able to get married next year, and I won't marry Wen Chengyan." β
Xiao Se was slightly stunned, and sighed lightly: "You have always been an idea, and you are smart and transparent, I naturally support the decision you make." Although we will be separated by thousands of miles in the future, if you need my help, just let me know. β
Yan Ran smiled, gratefully and sincerely took Xiao Se's hand, and said, "Princess Chrysostom, I have firmly remembered it, and I will definitely trouble you in the future!" β
Xiao Se's eyes flashed slightly, and he also clenched Yan Ran's hand: "Okay, I'll wait!" β
Yan Ran watched Xiao Se get into the carriage with Shen Yu's support, her eyes were full of smiles, and she felt very relieved.
In his previous life, Xiao Se was victimized by others and lived a lonely life; In this life, Yan Ran helped her rewrite her fate and gain her own happiness.
This made her feel that her rebirth was meaningful, not just for revenge.
After bidding farewell to Xiao Se, Yan Ran went home.
Before she could enter the door, she was stopped by the little maid outside the door, and she reported: "Girl, the lady and the old lady have broken into our yard and are waiting for you to go back!" β
Yan Ran asked, "What's going on?" β
The little maid said: "It is said that the old lady lost a golden hand, and all yards have been searched, and our yard is no exception." The slaves couldn't stop them, so they had to let them in. β
Yan Ran thought for a moment and ordered: "You go back and continue to star, and when I enter the mansion later, you come over again to tell you." β
Although the little maid didn't understand what Yan Ran meant, she still responded obediently and hurriedly returned.
Yan Ran said to Xuan Qing: "Xuan Qing, you go to the household department to keep an eye on when my father is on duty, and I will go back to the house with him." β
Xuan Qing was ordered to leave.
Yan Ran waited nearby, and when Master Yan returned home from duty, he went out to meet him by chance, and the two went back to the house together.
Old Man Yan looked at Yan Ran's red and swollen eyes and asked, "What's wrong?" β
Yan Ran said: "Princess Roujia left Beijing today, and her daughter went to see her off, and the feeling of parting is always sad. β
When Master Yan heard this, he comforted Yan Ran a few words.
As soon as the father and daughter entered the house, the little maid ran over and said, "Girl, Madame is leading someone to search our Qionghua Courtyard!" β
Yan Ran was shocked: "Search the hospital?!" Why is that? β
Yan Ran deliberately raised his voice, attracting the attention of Master Yan, who was about to leave.
Searching the courtyard is not a trivial matter, not to mention that when Yan Ran is away, he broke into the girl's boudoir without permission, what kind of system is it?
When Master Yan heard this, his heart was on fire, and he secretly blamed this Wen family for acting more and more unruly.
He said to Yan Ran: "Go with you for my father." β
Yan Ran made an anxious appearance, walked in a hurry, and walked in front of Master Yan.
As soon as she stepped into Qionghua Courtyard, Yan Yao rushed up and asked, "Yan Ran, where have you been, why did you come back?" β
"Call the eldest sister by her name, shout so loudly, who taught you the rules?!"
Old Man Yan walked in from behind with a gloomy face and reprimanded angrily.
The gloating look on Yan Yao's face immediately turned into fear, and she hurriedly stood up and whispered, "Dad." β
Wen Shi heard the sound and walked out, and when he saw Master Yan, he immediately changed his expression and explained: "Master, my mother lost something, and the concubine searched the courtyard just now, and all the courtyards were searched." β
Wen wanted to show that she was not targeting Yan Ran, but Master Yan was not satisfied with this explanation, and reprimanded: "Then we should wait for Ran'er to come back, so what is the search, how can I convince the public?" β
Master Yan's words completely blocked the way for the Wen family to frame Yan Ran.
Because they broke into Qionghua Courtyard without permission, Yan Ran was not present, even if someone put the lost things into Qionghua Courtyard, it is possible.
So even if something is found, it can't be proved that it was done by Yan Ran or the subordinates of Qionghua Academy.
Wen didn't say anything, just looked in the direction of Old Madam Yan, showing an aggrieved expression.
Old Madam Yan didn't mean to help Wen speak at all, and just stood beside her as if she didn't care about herself.
In the end, it was about Mrs. Yan, and Mr. Yan didn't want to be too harsh, so he asked again, "Can that thing be found?" β
Wen hurriedly replied: "I have searched this house up and down, inside and out, but I haven't found it, only ...... remain."
Wen glanced at Yan Ran, made a look of embarrassment, and said, "Only Ran'er's private treasury has not been found......"
Yan Ran almost laughed out loud when she heard Wen's words.
She also thought that the Wen family made such a big battle to frame her, so she found Master Yan as a backer.
Unexpectedly, it turned out that Wen's went around such a big circle just to check her private library.
Yan Ran's mind turned slightly, and she understood Wen's purpose.
Previously, Wen had secretly withheld the property given to her by Yan Ran's uncle, and Yan Ran designed it to go to Taiban's family.
In order to quickly recover the capital, Wen put all the cash in his hand and put the seal money, which has not yet expired.
But it is soon Mrs. Yan's birthday, in previous years, the Yan Mansion did not do a lot of business, this year coincides with the promotion of Master Yan, so it is necessary to take this opportunity to entertain guests, and the banquet must not be shabby.
Wen's was overstretched, so he naturally had to think of ways to find money, so this method found Yan Ran's body.
At this time last year, Yan Ran was just a little transparent that no one cared about, penniless, and her sleeves were clean.
But now, Yan Ran's private treasury is full, and there will be no shortage of silver and objects.
Mrs. Yan has always been a money-loving person, and she will inevitably be blushing.
At that time, there was no need for the Wen family to say anything, and at the request of Mrs. Yan, Yan Ran's family could only be confiscated.
Yan Ran was amused by Wen's greedy and naΓ―ve thoughts, and looked at Wen with a smile: "What does the mother mean is to search her daughter's private vault?" β
Yan Ran smiled at such a time, which couldn't help but feel weird, and couldn't help but be apprehensive.
Without waiting for Wen to say anything, Master Yan got angry first: "For the sake of a handsmith, search the girl's private vault, you can say it!" β
In this case, Wen naturally couldn't say anything, Yan Yao muttered in a low voice: "What about grandmother's handpiece?" β
Old Madam Yan didn't realize that she was used as a gun by the Wen family, and she also felt very dissatisfied, and looked at Yan Ran unhappily: "What, is there something unsightly in your private treasury?" β
Master Yan didn't dare to be angry with Mrs. Yan, so he could only persuade: "Mother, it's just a handsmith, if you lose it, you lose it, it's not a big deal, I'll buy you another one tomorrow." β
Master Yan is quiet, because he doesn't want to spread the news that Yan Mansion is making such a big deal for a hand, and it is not an extremely valuable item, so it really looks petty.
Moreover, Yan Ran is the eldest daughter of the Yan Mansion, and because she lost something, she was searched in the courtyard and even searched the private library, and the impact on her reputation was still a trivial matter, and the entire Yan Mansion would become a laughing stock.
But Old Madam Yan didn't understand the twists and turns, just because everyone didn't let her check Yan Ran's private library, she felt that her majesty had been challenged.
In order to fight for face, she insisted that Yan Ran open the warehouse: "Ran'er, grandmother wants to see your private library, do you open it or not?" β
Yan Ran smiled slightly, and agreed happily: "Grandmother has an order, and Ran'er should obey it." Qingxuan, go and open the private library, and ask the old lady to check it. β
Yan Ran deliberately responded to this matter when Mrs. Yan spoke, giving Mrs. Yan enough face, making her slightly proud, and her obedience to Yan Ran was also very useful, and the balance in her heart tilted towards her.
Wen was unaware of Yan Ran's intentions, and secretly showed a triumphant smile.
Qingxuan opened Yan Ran's private vault, and everyone stepped forward to check, either their eyes widened in surprise, or they directly sighed.
Wen's eyes were even more jealous, Yan Ran, a little cheap hoof, obviously had hidden so many valuable things, and he even pit money from her!
Thinking of the silver, Wen hurriedly searched around, but found that there were only gold, stone and jade here, and there was no silver at all.
Wen couldn't help but be a little anxious, she knew that most of these things were gifts from the imperial family, or gifts from the Qingguo Mansion, and she couldn't take them away.
But if you can see a huge amount of cash, presumably even Master Yan can't resist the temptation, no longer protecting Yan Ran, but will try his best to get the money out.
Wen asked, "Is that all?" β
Yan Ran nodded and replied, "All my daughter's belongings are here." β
Wen sneered, simply stopped being sloppy, and said directly: "Previously, you accused Mama Zhao of embezzling the property that your uncle gave you, but you took 10,000 taels of silver from me as compensation, what about the money?" β
Listening to Wen's words, everyone present gasped.
10,000 taels of silver, which can support the rations of hundreds of ordinary families for a year!
The big girl is so rich?!
Old Madam Yan was startled, not to mention that she hadn't seen so much money, she hadn't thought about it, and subconsciously asked, "What about money?" β
Master Yan was also a little surprised, that matter was solved directly by Yan Ran at his behest, he didn't know the specific details, and he didn't know that the amount of money involved was so huge.
Master Yan glanced around for a week, he recognized all the things in the library, and there were no additional things worth 10,000 taels of silver, so where did the money go?
Could it be that Yan Ran had the intention to hide her money and guard against them?
Old Man Yan thought like this, frowned slightly, and did not blame Wen's words and deeds for being inappropriate, obviously waiting for Yan Ran's explanation.
Yan Ran looked at these people in front of her who had different minds but had the same goal and coveted her property, and felt even more funny.
But she still had to save face for Mrs. Yan and Mr. Yan, so she could only aim her firepower at the Wen family.
"My mother also said that the money was given to me by my uncle, because I was greedy by Mama Zhao, my mother compensated me according to the price in order to keep me from holding Mama Zhao accountable. Since it is my money, I can spend it as I want, and I can put it wherever I want, and what does it have to do with my mother? β
