Chapter 192: Greedy for Silver
Inside and outside the Star Picking Building, now only Chen Rui and Jiang Yu's people are guarding inside and outside. It's a safe place.
Gan Peilin handed over Yu Ze to the crispy core, and specially asked Liulan to call Xiangping to come over and talk.
In this gap, the swallow is waiting by his side.
"Thank you, Swallow." Gan Peilin took the tea she handed over and smiled slightly.
"It's a swallow's honor to be able to do things for my wife."
"Jiang Yu is really right, you can do anything." Gan Peilin stared and took a sip of tea. "Although the tea that Yu Ze gave to his father was drugged, it is also thanks to you who pretend to be Mrs. Sixth Aunt so much that you can make your father believe it and show him the truth of the speculation that day, so that he can believe that Mrs. Sixth Aunt is innocent."
"Then it depends on your good idea, madam, and the slave can do it." Swallow handed her the silk.
Gan Peilin wiped the tea stains on the corners of his lips, and said with warm eyes: "There are some things that can only be experienced by himself to know the taste." ”
"yes." Swallow is also convinced of this.
As he said this, Liulan led Xiangping in, and the two of them said in unison: "Miss." ”
"I was going to ask you a few days ago, but I haven't been able to spare time." Gan Peilin took another sip of tea before sighing and asking, "Has the sixth aunt always done something behind my back?" For example, put away the notes that others gave me, and for example...... Did something but didn't let me know, specifically, how much silver is better than honoring my grandmother? ”
Xiang Ping paused for a moment, and said a little embarrassedly: "Miss, why did you suddenly remember to ask this." ”
Xiangping did not refute this for the first time, which means that Liu Rumei did give her grandmother silver. Gan Peilin's eyes tightened slightly: "Xiangping, I took the risk to rehabilitate the sixth aunt, just so that Yu Ze can raise his head and be a man in the future, and he will not be tortured by these gossips in the house." But if you still won't tell me the truth, I really don't know how to think about it. ”
"Miss, it's not that the slave refuses to tell the truth, but ...... Every time the old lady and the aunt spoke, they asked the slave to go out and wait. Therefore, the slave maid didn't know why the aunt always gave the old lady silver. It's not much, though. But it always has to be given two or three times a month, which is not too little. Xiangping waved her fingers and calculated, frowned, and said, "Before and after, there are always seven or eight thousand taels of silver." ”
"Are you saying that since the sixth aunt has been in charge of the house, she has given her grandmother seven or eight thousand taels of silver?" Gan Peilin was indeed taken aback by this number.
"There always is." Xiangping nodded: "Mrs. Aunt said that it is less to give one hundred and two hundred taels every time." When there are many times, five hundred taels are given at a time. My aunt and wife have been in charge of the family affairs for a year, seven or eight thousand taels a year, and my aunt and wife don't think it's much. ”
"For the sixth aunt, seven or eight thousand taels of silver is really not much." Gan Peilin was puzzled, what did grandmother do with so much silver? She is a deep boudoir woman, and she doesn't go out of the door on weekdays. There are no extravagant hobbies, everything I wear is provided by the house, and I don't see any difference.
Coupled with Mo Yanqing's words, it seems that grandmother is very greedy for money. So where did all this money go?
It's a pity that Zhuyu couldn't save it in the end, and when the child was a month old, he was punched and kicked by his husband, and he was killed twice. By the time she remembered it, they were all buried in the ground......
"Miss, in fact, the slave maid is also very strange in her heart." Xiangping looked at her stunned, and said slowly: "My aunt said that if she has anything, the key must be handed over to you." In fact, at that time, the slave maid wanted to ask why it was not for the old lady. According to common sense, Mrs. Aunt has always been filial to the old lady, and the eldest lady will marry sooner or later. The money is handed over to the old lady, and isn't it more reasonable for the old lady to take care of Young Master Yuze. It's just that the slave is a subordinate, and she doesn't dare to have such doubts. What's more, Miss, you are really very good to Young Master Yuze. ”
"I won't say that beforehand." Gan Peilin wrinkled his brows and asked, "Does the sixth aunt have anything else to hide from me?" ”
"This ......" Xiangping thought for a moment and shook her head. In fact, the sixth aunt hopes that the eldest lady will compete with the Mo family, so that she can successfully manage the family business. But after all, this is easy to say or not, and the eldest lady is afraid that she will be angry when she hears it, so it is better to be stuffy in her heart.
"Does she know who gave it to me?" Gan Peilin still couldn't hold back and asked this.
Reason told her that she shouldn't have anything to do with Wu Wei. However, she still wanted to know when Wu Wei had looked for him.
"This slave really doesn't know." Xiangping frowned: "Those things seem to have been picked up by Mrs. Sixth Aunt and asked the guards in the house to stare at them." The slave didn't ask. But ......"
After hesitating for a moment, Xiangping still said: "Yesterday, the eldest lady said that she would clean up Rongxuan Pavilion, and the slave maid followed back to help. I was surprised to find that many places in my aunt's wing room had been touched. The cabinets, under the bed, and even the secret compartment that the lady had hidden and cleaned up, had all been touched. Some of my aunt's jewelry is missing. ”
"You mean, someone went to Aunt Six and stole her jewelry?" Gan Peilin was a little shocked when he listened: "How can this be." At that time, the sixth aunt had an accident, and her father asked Rongxuan Pavilion to be locked and no outsiders were allowed to enter. How could someone sneak in and steal. ”
"This is where the slave is suspicious." Xiangping said a little timidly: "At first, I thought it was a servant who dismissed Rongxuan Pavilion, who would take the sheep by the way." But now that I think about it, when the incident happened suddenly, the master drove everyone away. Where is the opportunity to turn back and steal. Besides, even turning under the bed is not something that can be done in a short time. Come to think of it, I should have sneaked in while no one was there. ”
"Don't mention this to anyone else." A trace of doubt flashed in Gan Peilin's heart.
There was a click, and something fell to the floor in front of the dresser.
The swallow hurriedly went over to look and found a chain of beads, so he picked it up and gave it to Gan Peilin.
"It's Mother's stuff." Gan Peilin thought to himself that maybe he didn't put it away when he got up early to make up, and the chain slowly slid down and fell to the ground. "This thing is from ......"
Her body trembled, and she suddenly understood something.
This thing was found from my grandmother's storeroom. That's because there was a girl next to her grandmother, who might not be familiar with the placement of her grandmother's warehouse, so she took out the old things as new additions, and unexpectedly let her see this beaded chain.
If the bead chain was accidentally seen by her, should it have been hidden in the storeroom all along? The question is what does the grandmother want so much silver and jewelry? Gan Peilin's heart was beating suddenly, could it be that she raised a secret guard outside behind her back? Waiting for the opportunity to do something rebellious for Ganfu?
"Miss, your face is not very good, are you okay?" Liulan has to care about a word.
"Oh, it's fine." Gan Peilin rubbed his mother's bead chain, and said solemnly: "Fortunately, it was not broken." It's all about me being too careless. Xiangping, you will still live in Rongxuan Pavilion in the future, and take good care of Yuze. I will assign you a hearty person to come over, and teach him to learn martial arts at the same time. Our Ganfu is a merit on horseback, he can not be a general in the future, but he must have the ability to protect himself. ”
"Yes, eldest miss, the slave must take good care of Young Master Yuze." Xiangping nodded with tears in her eyes: "I finally live up to my aunt's kindness to me over the years." ”
"If you have any difficulties, just come to me." Gan Peilin sighed heavily: "It's not too early, let people go back with you with Yu Ze." ”
"Yes." Xiangping nodded in agreement and slowly retreated.
Crispy Core summoned someone over and took the sleeping Yu Ze away. "Why doesn't the eldest lady let Young Master Yu Ze sleep a little longer, and it's not too late to go back when she wakes up."
"In the past few days, Yu Ze has been a lot sensible, and he seems to have grown up all of a sudden." Gan Peilin said distressedly: "I don't want him to rely on me too much, after all, I have to leave Ganfu sooner or later." At that time, it is better not to make him uncomfortable again, and it is better not to have such a deep dependence now. He opened his eyes and got used to my absence from me, so he wouldn't be too reluctant in the future. ”
"It's still the eldest lady who thinks far." Seeing that she was not happy, Crispy Core said solemnly, "The slave is going to cook you something delicious and ready for lunch." ”
"Okay." Gan Peilin was also happy when she saw her joyful. Sometimes I envy the crispy core, the life is simple, and the heart is simple.
As soon as she went out, Gan Peilin's face immediately changed: "Liulan, Yanzi, there is something you need to do." ”
"Madame commands." The swallow took a step forward, and a hint of anger flashed in her eyes.
"I want to check my grandmother's storeroom and see what's inside. But this matter must not alarm the people in the house. Gan Peilin was embarrassed and said: "If you are allowed to go, it will definitely not be a problem, but you have not been in the house for a long time, and you are afraid that you will not know who it is if you see something." I'll have to see for myself. I don't know how to do kung fu......."
"As long as you can try to lure the old lady out of the house." Rulan said.
Her words reminded Gan Peilin: "Yes, since it is not easy to sneak in and see, it is better to check it openly." Let Grandmother take out the things herself and put them in front of us. ”
The corners of Swallow's lips rose: "That fire will solve the problem." ”
"Gotta burn it smart." Gan Peilin was a little worried: "Don't hurt people, let alone arouse suspicion." ”
"Madame, don't worry." Yanzi said confidently: "There will be no mistake in a certain way." ”
"Also." Gan Peilin had already made up his mind: "Go and find out why grandmother needs so much silver." Find out where the money goes. If there is any inconvenience, let Chen Rui cooperate. ”
"Yes." Liulan hurriedly responded.
"Later, I'll go and see the third aunt." Gan Peilin remembered that there was still this matter that had not been dealt with, and he had a headache.
"Miss, it's better for you to think about what to do with the fourth aunt and lady first." Liulan glanced out before saying, "On the way back from the master, I heard the fourth aunt and wife tossing in the house. said that she had to check the accounts and take over the purchase, and it was difficult to break up, so let's go and give her a hand. ”
"Let her make trouble." Gan Peilin curled the corners of his lips: "The more fierce she is, the better it will be for us." ”
After saying this, Gan Peilin and Yanzi glanced at each other. Both smiled softly.
