Chapter 24: The Buddha Statue Incident (1)

Others didn't know that this matter had something to do with her, and the person she ordered to do it was also her confidant, so she couldn't mess with herself.

But when she came back to her senses and saw Jiang Yan, who seemed to be worried about her, Zhang Cengzhen gritted her teeth and told Jiang Yan about it.

"What?!" Jiang Yan couldn't help but exclaim, although Zhang Cen Zhen and Jiang Yan stood a little far away from the others, Jiang Yan's exclamation still attracted everyone's attention.

Jiang Wan couldn't help but laugh at Jiang Yan: "When is this, the third sister still has the heart to yell here, and it won't be good to disturb her father later."

Jiang Wan thought that Jiang Yan would quarrel with her, but she didn't expect Jiang Yan to be pale as if she hadn't heard her taunt.

Jiang Wan frowned, did Jiang Yan take the wrong medicine today?

And Jiang Yu saw Zhang Cenzhen's expression, and Jiang Yan who couldn't stop looking at the ancestral hall with a pale face after talking to Zhang Cenzhen, and Wang Rubi asked herself to change the candlestick during the day, Jiang Yu just thought about it and came to a conclusion.

I'm afraid that the things in the Buddha statue must be related to Zhang Cen Zhen or Jiang Yan.

With Jiang Yan's temperament, it is impossible for her to go undetected for so long, and looking at Jiang Yan's expression, she should know that if she guessed correctly, it should be Zhang Cenzhen.

And what kind of idea did Wang Rubi ask her to change the candlestick, Jiang Yu came to a conclusion in a blink of an eye.

When Jiang Yu came out tonight, for the sake of insurance, she also brought lime, and at this time, lime obviously thought of going with Jiang Yu.

"Miss......"

"We just need to watch the show." Jiang Yu pressed the wrist of Lime holding her arm, signaling to wait and see.

Jiang Yu glanced at Zhang Cen Zhen in the distance, hooked her lips and smiled, I am afraid that Wang Rubi's idea of killing two birds with one stone this time will be disappointed.

Jiang Congwen grabbed a subordinate and asked, "How is the fire saved?"

The subordinate saw that it was Jiang Congwen, and hurriedly replied: "Back to the master, it's almost gone."

Jiang Yu just wanted Jiang Congwen to know about the Buddha statue, so the fire just looked a little bigger.

Jiang Congwen let go of his subordinates, called the housekeeper again, and asked, "What's going on?"

As soon as he found out that the ancestral hall was on fire, Jiang Congwen sent a housekeeper to investigate, if he found out who the fire was related to......

The housekeeper bent down and replied, "Back to the master, I didn't find the person who set the fire."

"Have you found out?" Jiang Congwen frowned.

"Back to the master, the old slave asked the people on duty today, and said that there was not even a figure before the ancestral hall caught fire, as if it was suddenly on fire."

Jiang Congwen couldn't figure out why the ancestral hall suddenly caught fire, and there was no one to set it on fire.

At this moment, a henchman sent by Jiang Congwen to check the ancestral hall stumbled over, knelt in front of Jiang Congwen, and said, "Master, there is a problem in the ancestral hall."

"You make it clear."

The henchman was close to Jiang Congwen's ear, and whispered to Jiang Congwen what he had just discovered.

Jiang Congwen was so angry that she wanted to run directly into the ancestral hall, but Zhang Cengzhen, who had been observing Jiang Congwen, knew that once the matter was revealed, she would be finished.

So he stepped forward to stop Jiang Congwen and said: "The fire in the ancestral hall of the master has just been extinguished, I don't know if there is a dark fire, in case it hurts the master, it will not be good."

What Zhang Cenzhen thinks is that as long as Jiang Congwen doesn't pass now, give her a little more time, she will be able to clean up all the troubles.

If it was normal, Jiang Congwen would have gone up to love him a long time ago when he saw that his delicate concubine was so worried about himself, but now it is different from the past, someone dared to hide something under his nose, and when he was angry in his heart, Zhang Cenzhen came to his eyes like this, Jiang Congwen not only did not feel moved by his concubine worrying about himself, but directly waved Zhang Cenzhen away.

Then he said to the ladies in the house: "You all go back and clean up, and gather in the main hall in half an hour, I have something to ask you." Then he went straight into the ancestral hall.

After Jiang Congwen entered, the people outside looked at each other, and they all went back to their courtyards with their own thoughts.

After Jiang Yu went back, she discussed it with Qingping Qinghe Lime and decided to wait and see the changes for the time being, anyway, Wang Rubi and Zhang Cen Zhen were fighting, and she would sit back and reap the benefits of the fisherman.

Wang Rubi only knew that the praying mantis caught cicadas, but forgot that the yellow finch was behind.

Half an hour soon arrived, Jiang Yu left Qinghe in the courtyard and took Qingping and Lime to the main hall together.

After everyone arrived at the main hall, Jiang Congwen, who had a dark face, came back.

He had just gone in and counted the dirty money in the Buddha statue, except for some burned silver tickets that could not be seen at face value, the rest of the assets were even the amount of assets that he stayed for a while.

It is impossible for outsiders to hide dirty wealth in his house, the ancestral hall has always been the responsibility of the female dependents in the house, and this Buddha statue has existed in the house for at least a few years, but no one has found the problem of the Buddha statue, if it is not for the fire in the ancestral hall today, he does not know how long it will take to find out.

The more Jiang Congwen thought about it, the darker his face became, and at the same time, he was more sure that this matter was related to the ladies in the house.

So there was a scene where all the female dependents gathered in the ancestral hall for questioning.

Jiang Congwen looked at the different expressions on the faces of his concubines and daughters, tried to calm his faces, and after a while, he said, "The ancestral hall is on fire tonight, and you have seen it too."

"I know you're wondering what I'm calling you all for."

After Jiang Congwen said this, he nodded to the housekeeper and summoned a few subordinates carrying the box.

There were two large boxes of gold and silver jewelry, and some silver tickets that had been burned a little bit.

"Daddy, what is this?" Jiang Wan couldn't help but ask with surprise.

Although the others didn't speak, their faces were full of surprise and doubt, but they didn't know what they thought in their hearts.

Jiang Congwen looked around, but found nothing, couldn't help but snort coldly, and said, "I think one of you should be familiar with these things."

Zhang Cen Zhen held Jiang Yan's hand for a moment, after Jiang Congwen ordered people to bring these things in, his spirit had been tense, and after hearing this, he was nervous, and his nails couldn't help but pinch Jiang Yan's palm directly.

Zhang Cenzhen's nails went directly into Jiang Yan's flesh, Jiang Yan's face turned pale from the pain, but she couldn't bear it and didn't make a sound.

She knew that if she made a voice now, her father would definitely find out that she and A-Niang were wrong, and then send someone to investigate, and A-Niang and her would be finished.

Zhang Cen Zhen found that her daughter's face was pale when she was pinched by herself, and she couldn't help but glance at Jiang Yan guiltily, then took a deep breath and walked to Jiang Congwen's side.
