Zhuang Siyan really didn't want to explain to him, so he took his men out of the temple and went to Ji's house.

Before leaving, he instructed Qing Ran: "Guard it here, don't always think twice, when the time is ripe, I will naturally let Xiaoling marry you, but not now." ”

Qingran: "......"

So she knew?

Qing Ran wanted to ask about the details and her arrangements again, so she saw her walking out without looking back.

They entered the door of the Ji family all the way.

Ji Gang thought that his son had news, so he hurriedly came out and said, "Miss Si, it's only been two days today, has Xiaotian already found it?" ”

Zhuang Siyan nodded perfunctorily: "The person was found, but he can't come back now." ”

When Ji Gang heard this, he was surprised: "Why is that?" Where is he, how is it now, has Miss Si seen him? ”

Zhuang Siyan didn't reply to his series of questions, but asked him: "Boss Ji, you tell me the truth, do you want to get your son back?" ”

Ji Gang's eyes widened: "Miss Si's words are strange, after my son was lost, I reported to the official several times."

The government could not find you, and I spent five hundred taels of silver to find you.

If I don't really want to find my son, could it be that my Ji family has a lot of money and has nowhere to throw it, so I can't throw it at you. ”

Zhuang Siyan nodded: "Very good, as long as Boss Ji really wants to find his son, then I have a way." ”

Ji Gang hadn't heard what she was going to do, and his eyes were puzzled.

Zhuang Siyan said directly: "There are a few questions, I ask you now, I hope Boss Ji will answer truthfully, you can lie, but the price of lying is likely to kill your son." Oh yes, there's one thing, I can tell you first, Xiaotian is still alive. ”

Ji Gang breathed a sigh of relief slightly, and then asked, "Miss Si, may I ask?" ”

This time, he didn't say it in front of the Ji family, but only asked Ji Gang alone, so Zhuang Siyan was also very careful.

She looked at the door and asked, "Boss Ji, let's talk here, will your wife and concubines hear it?" ”

Ji Gang shook his head: "Madame just came back from the temple, she is resting in the backyard at this time, and the concubine rarely comes to the front yard at ordinary times. ”

It's quite grand, in order to keep it secret and make the atmosphere a little heavier, Zhuang Siyan is also very hard.

She waited until Ji Gang had arranged everything here before asking, "Before Ji Xiaotian went missing, did anything happen to the Ji family, or what decisions did they make, especially those that were unfavorable to Mrs. Chu?" ”

Ji Gang thought about it for a while, and then replied to her: "Yes, it's a matter of dividing the family property." ”

Speaking of dividing money, Zhuang Siyan's spirit came all of a sudden: "Well, Boss Ji, you say slowly, the problem may lie in the division of family property." ”

Ji Gang didn't follow her line, but asked, "You mean, it was Madame who snatched Xiaotian?" ”

Zhuang Siyan shook his head: "You still have to tell me about your family first, and then I'll tell you about Xiaotian, there is a sequence of things."

Your family is missing because of the unfair division of family property, so the little genius disappeared, so this matter must be solved first. ”

Ji Gang nodded, but looking at his face, he seemed to be a little annoyed by the division of family property and the division of the family, so he talked about it with emotion.

Fortunately, Zhuang Siyan was a good listener, and she quickly sorted out Ji Gang's words and found out the reason for Mrs. Chu's actions.

Mrs. Ji has been married to the Ji Mansion for more than 20 years and has given birth to two daughters, the eldest one is already married, and the younger one is still waiting to be written.

Two months ago, Ji Gang suddenly fainted in his shop.

At that time, the doctor came in time, and he finally saved his life by sticking needles and taking medicine, but the doctor also said that with his current body, he should be more relaxed and less tired.

Ji Gang also wanted to do this, but their Ji family's daughter was going to marry when she grew up, and her son was too young, so now there was no one to take over his affairs.

However, if he didn't let go, he was afraid that he would really die.

So I discussed with Mrs. Chu and said that the dozen or so shops in the family were simply divided with the children and let them take care of them themselves.

As soon as Mrs. Chu heard this, she stopped doing it: "How to divide it?" The eldest daughter has already married, but the one who is not married is still so young and a girl, what can they do? ”

Ji Gang has his own set of theories, he said: "There are a total of thirteen shops, and one of the two of us is enough to eat for this lifetime."

The other twenty rooms, six for Xiaotian, six for the four sisters, the eldest daughter and the second daughter are all under the knee of Mrs. Chu, two rooms for one person, and one for the two daughters in the back. ”

In this way, the people of Chu Mansion can be regarded as taking a big advantage.

She has two daughters and a son, although the son is not biological, but he is raised under her knees, and it is also hers, which is equivalent to one person fishing for ten shops. ”

Ji Gang originally thought that Mrs. Chu would definitely approve of such a decision with both hands, but as soon as he said it, Chu Fu was the first to oppose it.

She said: "Master, you are dividing the family, and the family will be divided, it is always our own family, but you divide the other two shops to the three girls and the four girls, and they can't take care of them themselves, so they can only go to their mothers."

Their mother is not a deep house woman, and she knows what kind of business, so she will inevitably go to her mother's house for help, and these two shops will eventually fall into the hands of others. ”

It's not that Ji Gang hasn't thought about this, but compared to his own life, he still wants to be willing to give up a little money.

Mrs. Ji didn't agree at the moment, and Ji Gang was still thinking about how to persuade her.

As a result, Xiaotian's disappearance was discovered.

As soon as the son was lost, the matter of dividing the family property was naturally not done, so it was put aside, Ji Fu was busy looking for someone all day long, and Ji Gang's illness did not happen again, but he often felt a headache.

After he said this, he asked Zhuang Siyan again: "Did Madame do this?" ”

Zhuang Siyan nodded: "Yes." ”

I thought Ji Gang was irritable, but this guy just sighed: "What is she going to do?" ”

Zhuang Siyan: "She may just not want your family's property to be divided." ”

Ji Gang's expression was a little strange, and he said to Zhuang Siyan after a while: "Although there are two concubines in my house, the food and clothing are all given according to the maid's goal, so let me tell you, the big maids in the lady's room are better than the concubines' clothes."

Those two shops were actually given as dowries for their daughters.

Isn't it because I'm not fit enough to work for business anymore?

Otherwise, I must have raised them and married them, and I would have saved myself from these things. ”

I didn't expect this Ji Gang to be affectionate and righteous, but it made Zhuang Siyan look at him with admiration.

She thought for a while before saying: "Boss Ji, in fact, Mrs. Ji's worries are not unreasonable, if you give them the shop now, if it really changes hands to their uncle, maybe you can't wait for them to get married, and there will be nothing." It's better for you to keep it by yourself, and when they get married in the future, it will be better to accompany them together. ”

Ji Gang looked at her: "I want to do this too, but I can manage so much, will I still make such a decision?"

They can't manage it, what about Xiaotian, a seven or eight-year-old child, with six shops in his hand, isn't it even more manageable? ”

Saying this, even Zhuang Siyan was worried.

It's really the poor who have the troubles of the poor, and the rich have the headaches of the rich.

Ji Gang was annoyed for a while, waved his hand and said: "It's okay, if you don't divide it, you won't divide it, you will tire me to death, let them toss it themselves, now as long as we get Xiaotian back, our Ji family will continue to do it." ”

Zhuang Siyan stood up and said, "You can talk to Mrs. Ji about this, she should be happy to hear it." ”

When Zhuang Siyan said this in the Ji Mansion, Qing Ran had already set his sights on an old nun in the temple.

The old nun came out of the main hall, went to the stove, took some food from it, and went around to the room on the east side.

Originally, the temple was not big, but there were a lot of houses built in the backyard.

Except for the one they first entered, zigzag and zigzag to no know where it leads.

There are also these ordinary, and even individual pilgrims will stay in the temple compound.

The old nun took the food and went to the room, and Qing Ran followed from behind.

He heard a child's voice scolding at the sound of a child, and he didn't know who he was scolding.

After the old nun entered, he scolded even more fiercely, sometimes mixed with the sound of "dong dong".

Qing Ran was outside, and she didn't hear what Lao Ni said, but it seemed to be very effective for the children inside.

He quickly stopped, and there was the sound of dishes colliding.

Qing Ran hid behind a big tree, and waited until the old nun came out before he followed in.

When I entered the room, I saw a boy of seven or eight years old, like a dog, with an iron chain.

The room had no bed, no table or chairs, nothing but a large wooden stake, to which the chain was fastened.

The food that the old nun had sent before was thrown on the ground at this time, and the boy was pulling it into his mouth.

His clothes were dirty and rotten, and his hair was so messy that he almost covered his eyebrows.

I probably heard footsteps, so I lifted my face from the rice bowl all of a sudden.

The moment he saw Qing Ran, he shouted again: "Are you sent by my father, you rescued me, right?" Come and get me out, I don't want to be here anymore, these old nuns are so hateful. ”

Qing Ran is also strange, such an environment, such a place, a seven or eight-year-old boy has been locked up for two months, how can he still be so lively?

Probably the old nuns were really nice to him, and maybe everything was possible for him except to run away.

Qing Ran glanced at the chain and said, "I can save you, but this thing is not easy to open, do you know where the key is?" ”

The boy shook his head, and then said, "It's okay if you can't help me out, you go out and tell my father that I'm here, and he will definitely send more people to save me, go quickly, I'll wait for you here." ”

Qing Ran is about to admire him, he is really a young hero.

However, he didn't go to Boss Ji, and when he went out, he pulled a thin wire back and began to stab the chain.

Ji Xiaotian didn't eat anymore, squatted on the ground and watched him unlock the lock very seriously, and there was no point in the whole process of being locked up here, the feeling that a prisoner should have.

He also asked Qing Ran: "Can you open it?" It's not hard for me to look at this lock, but it's not easy to pierce this little wire, right? Would you like to try something else, oh, there's something thicker than this......"
