Chapter 33: The Curse
Yun Shi said and stepped forward and put the jade wrench on the table in front of the room, the jewelry that was retrieved several ladies had already seen each other, and Chu An had also looked at it when he asked before.
Chu Xiangchen, who was sitting at the other end, didn't take it very seriously, but because Chu An was more serious and called people over, he had to step forward and take a look with a solemn face.
"I think, in fact, it's nothing, it's very likely that a junior in the house is messing around, and since the jewelry has been found, I don't think you have to worry too much!" Chu Xiangchen looked at it for a while and said.
"How can this work?! Fourth brother, didn't you see the words engraved on it? You all know my birthday, how can it be a child? And those words are written so viciously that they simply want to get rid of people as quickly as possible! Now my sisters and I are very scared, and we are afraid that we will be harmed by this ill-intentioned person in the future! Yun immediately retorted with anger.
Chu Xiangchen's rooms also echoed, "Yes, Xiangchen, you have to investigate this matter, there are such sinister people in the mansion, if he (she) has any other thoughts, I am afraid it will endanger the safety of the mansion!" ”
"That's it, my parents are listed on it, you can't stop there!"
Chu Xiangchen felt irritable in his heart after hearing this, these women just like to guess! It's not like that, it's a headache!
"Don't panic ladies first, I have already sent someone to investigate this matter," Chu An said, "I believe that it will not be long before there will be a result, if it is found out who did it, I will definitely hand it over to the head of the family to deal with it strictly, so as to give you an explanation for the ladies and gentlemen!" ”
"Don't rush yet!"
As soon as Chu An's words fell, Chu Pengtian walked in angrily, followed by Chu Yibai with a serious face and a small hand behind his back.
Everyone was a little surprised by the uninvited arrival of the head of the family, and even if it was forgotten, what was the matter with that Chu Yibai behind him.
"Master, why did you come here in person? Didn't you say let me and my fourth brother deal with it? Chu An came to Chu Pengtian's side and whispered.
Chu Pengtian didn't pay attention to him, looked at Liao Geqian expressionlessly, and said in a slightly angry tone,
"Let's not talk about that for the time being, Liao, take a good look at what this is!" With that, he took out a notebook from the storage ring and threw it to her.
Liao's heart sank and hurriedly took it, and after looking at it a few times, she only felt that her mind was slightly unstable, but it returned to normal after only a few seconds, and said with some doubts,
"Home, head of the house, what is this? I don't know! ”
Chu Xiangchen looked at Liao Geqian's face and looked at it a little wrong, so he directly stepped forward and pulled the book and looked at it, it doesn't matter if you don't look at it, after a closer look, it turns out that what is recorded on it is a record of Liao Geqian secretly using herself to help her mother's family for personal gain!
Chu Xiangchen, who couldn't believe it, looked at Liao Geqian and couldn't speak, no wonder every time she came back before, she would ask herself about the shop intentionally or unintentionally, she didn't care much when she knew that her mother's family was good, she always said something, but she didn't expect her to go for the benefit of her mother's family!
"Liao, our Chu Mansion treats you well, and Xiangchen didn't say anything to you, why do you still do this!" Chu Pengtian asked sharply.
Chu An saw that something was wrong, so he went to pick up the notebook, and after reading it, he also looked at Liao very angrily, while the other wives were confused and didn't know what was going on, only Yun glanced at Chu Yibai vaguely.
Liao's heart was flustered, but his face was still very calm, and he said in an aggrieved tone, "Family master, I really don't know what you mean, and I don't know what is in that notebook!" ”
Chu Yibai saw that Liao didn't shed tears when he saw the coffin, so he directly stepped forward and took out another account book and handed it to Liao, and then returned to Chu Pengtian and said to her righteously,
"Auntie, I really didn't expect you to be this kind of person! He actually pursued his mother's personal interests and didn't care about the life and death of our Chu family! If I hadn't discovered the anomaly when I visited you that day, I'm afraid our Chu Mansion's business would have been in vain! ”
After hearing this, the other wives also roughly understood in their hearts, listening to this meaning, the Liao family actually did something sorry for the Chu family for the personal benefit of their mother's family?!
"Master of the house, don't listen to her nonsense! This ledger is clearly fake! Besides, how could I have done such a thing! It's very likely that someone else is trying to frame me! ”
Liao was a little flustered, she really didn't expect why she was still investigating the jewelry just now, and now it was involved in herself! And this ledger is obviously very hidden in his own room, why is it in Chu Yibai's hands now!
Chu Yibai looked at Liao's somewhat pale face and was very happy, when this goods were bouncing at the cheap grandfather's place a few days ago, she was bored and looked through a few account books on the table, and after a closer look, she found that there were a few shops that seemed to be a little wrong, and the night after she went back, she sneaked to the shop in the house to see what was going on, and after investigation, it was found that it was Liao Geqian who colluded with her mother's family to do something in business.
So Chu Yibai took the opportunity to come up with the engraving on the jewelry, firstly, he wanted to arouse the anger of his cheap grandfather, secondly, he could secretly put Liao Geqian in the public target, and thirdly, in addition to letting the aunt of the Qin family get back up, and he could also accept Chu Qian, the 'little brother', he also wanted to bring the big white lotus of Chu Xiyun with anger, but the ultimate goal of this product is to settle the account of Chu Xiyun poisoning himself several times before the sect selection in a month!
In the morning, Chu Yibai gave the account book to the cheap grandfather, and the grandfather's face was very good-looking, when he came over angrily to question the Liao family, Chu Yibai knew in his memory that the cheap grandfather hated those things that were eaten inside and outside the house, so he also brought the record of Liao's collusion with his mother's family.
"Do you still want to quibble! I've been through the accounts of the past few days, and the deficits in those shops are exactly the same as those recorded in this account book, and those are all managed by Xiangchen, what else do you have to say! ”
Liao Shigang was still a little calm, but now his body was slightly weak, and his news with his mother's family had always been very confidential, why was he suddenly discovered now? Without waiting for Liao Geqi, who still wanted to defend himself, to speak, Chu Yibai immediately stood up and said,
"Everyone, I don't know if I should say a few words, but I see that you are all talking, so I have to be cheeky and say that I have read it," Chu Yibai directly skipped Liao's gaze,
"Although a white temperament is stubborn, but usually strange books are read a lot, I heard that there is a kind of thing called 'spell' is very magical, saying that the name of the curse person is written on the things that the person often wears, over time, the wearer's spirit and luck will be reduced a lot, how do I think this is similar to the situation where the jewelry of the aunts is engraved?!"
Several ladies were shocked when they heard it, although they had never heard of any 'curse', but they would rather believe it or not, if it really existed, wouldn't they be in trouble?!
Chu Pengtian and the others naturally hadn't heard of anything like a 'curse', but seeing what Chu Yibai said, a few people couldn't help but believe it a little, only to hear Chu Yibai and say,
"Ah, grandfather, I see! Who in our Chu Mansion can have hatred with so many people! It must be someone in the mansion who is dissatisfied with our Chu Mansion who is making trouble! But the eldest lady is again," Chu Yibai glanced at Liao and hurriedly covered his mouth.
Yun's eyes rolled and fanned the flames, "Family master, I also think that things can't be so coincidental, but our jewelry is engraved with words The eldest sister made such a file, you,"
"Enough!" Liao Ge's eyes were a little cold, what a bullshit 'curse'! She hadn't done anything! Anyway, the matter of the shop was also investigated, and it was a big deal to admit that he was punished, but he couldn't listen to the words that slandered himself! And in front of so many people, it will be indispensable to be laughed at by those ladies in the future!
"I admit that the business has something to do with me! But I swear I don't know anything about the engraving on the jewelry! ”
Chu Pengtian has been annoyed by the shop for the past few days, and now he has found the reason, although he is very angry, but what kind of jewelry engraving is such a bad thing, he feels upset, and he doesn't want to care about these anymore!
"Liao, I will forgive you for this matter once in the past for the sake of your duty! Suspend your salary for one year, and in addition, the amount of clothing will be reduced to half of what it used to be, and the rest will be handed over to the government treasury, but if you commit another offense in the future, you will be driven out of the house without any room for negotiation, you know! ”
"Thank you for your forgiveness! I also did something wrong in a moment of confusion, and I will definitely not dare to do it again in the future! Liao Ge said with sincere fear.
"Chu An, Xiangchen, the matter of lettering or something will be handed over to you to deal with, and you must deal with it strictly after you find it!" Chu Pengtian said that he went back after that.
Chu Yibai stayed and continued to watch the show.
"It's unexpected! I always thought that the eldest sister was a self-denying person, but I didn't expect to be confused in terms of interests! ”
"Alas, this person's heart, if he is greedy, he has no edge, and he can't take it!"
"Ahem, don't talk about it, the most important thing now is to find the ill-intentioned person as soon as possible, and you will hand over all the jewelry you have recovered," Chu An was angry with Liao, but he still knew what to do at the moment.
Chu Yibai casually glanced at the Qin family, and said casually,
"Uncle, where is there so much trouble, you just let people search the house one by one, isn't it that there are still aunt's things that haven't been found, maybe they will be placed in the person who engraved the letter."
Chu An looked at Chu Yibai, the little niece he hadn't seen for a long time, but he was not as arrogant as before, and there seemed to be a little more agility between his eyebrows, "Yibai, didn't you say that you can cultivate?" Why don't you go to the cultivation hall for class?! ”
Chu Yibai smiled, "Hehe, the masters all said that I was too smart, so they gave me a few days off to rest and rest my brain, third uncle, let me go over and help you?" ”
"Nonsense, what kind of fun are you coming along! Go back quickly. Chu An didn't pay attention to her after saying that, but then he really sent someone to search the residences of everyone in the mansion, cough cough, in fact, he originally planned to do this.
Liao Ge glanced at Chu Yibai fiercely and went back, clutching the cup in his hand tightly, Liao Ge couldn't say a word angrily, he was calculated by a girl!
