If it weren't for midnight, Xia Li would have wanted to wake up Chu Han and ask if she, the second-room lady, had any silver, and she owed no more and no less than 20,000 taels.

There is silver under the bed in her room in the Dark Moon Palace, she hasn't spent much over the years, and it should be hundreds of thousands of taels! But she didn't dare take that risk.

Although she is familiar with the road there, and knows all the secret passages by heart, if she is really discovered, she will definitely die, and she will finally live again, she doesn't want to die so easily.

It seems that if you want to get the silver, you have to find a way from the Xia Mansion.

The more Xia Li thought about it, the more anxious she became, owing money to repay the debt, this was the first time she owed money to someone since she was a child.

……

Early the next morning, Xia Li didn't even eat breakfast, so he called Chu Han and said, "How much silver do we have now?" ”

Chu Han wondered why Miss asked about this, and replied truthfully:

"Miss, your monthly routine has not moved in the past few months, adding up to less than one hundred taels"

"What? So little? "This little money is pitiful, and she wants to do it.

"It's not small, miss, is it less than a hundred taels?" Chu Han didn't understand, in the past, the young lady also said that she would have less money if she saved up the monthly routine in the past few months, but now how can she say that it is less!

Xia Li's brain didn't have what the original owner said, and after thinking about it, she said:

"By the way, isn't my mother the daughter of a rich merchant? Didn't she give me the money? ”

"Of course there is a young lady, but these are in the warehouse"

"Treasury? So I have silver," Xia Xuan rejoiced.

"Madame said that everything in the treasury was reserved for the young lady as a dowry, so how could there be no silver? Besides, what does the young lady want to do, can she buy a lot of things with a hundred taels of silver? ”

A hundred taels? She couldn't even buy a small piece of that dough, and she couldn't really think of what she could buy.

"Where's the key to the storeroom? Let's go find it."

"Okay," Chu Han agreed, and went out.

After a short time, I saw this maid come back dejectedly, "Miss, the mother-in-law in Mrs. Guan's yard said that the key to the treasury was taken away by the eldest lady."

"What? It's really shameless, and I didn't even notify me as a daughter."

If it was the same temperament in the past, Xia Li would definitely look for it now, but after suffering a few losses, she didn't dare to act rashly, how to do this matter and think about it.

"Let's go, go to my brother's"

"Miss, you haven't eaten breakfast yet!"

"Don't eat it, come back and talk about it"

Xia Li is now anxious to ask about the money left by his mother, when his mother just died, she had just come to this house, and she didn't know that there was a treasury, maybe her brother would know.

The master and servant went to the courtyard of Xia Ye in the front room, and saw Qing Shui guarding outside the door, and saw the master and servant coming over and said:

"Miss, you're here"

"Well, is my brother in the house?"

"It's there, but it's ......"

"But what?"

"The young master said that no one will be allowed to enter, he has to think about it in the house"

Think? You don't still think about yesterday! Xia Li really had nothing to say to this solid-eyed brother, in that way:

"Did your young master eat breakfast?"

Qing Shui shook his head, "The young master said that he has no appetite"

Alas! Xia Wei sighed and entered the house on her own, she didn't believe that this brother would kick her out.

"Brother, are you in there? I'm in."

Xia Ye has been entangled in his heart since he came back from Osmanthus Building, on the one hand, he can't accept Xia Fei's change in his heart, and he keeps comparing Xia Fei in the past with Xia Fei last night, are these two people the same person? Is it true that what you do to yourself?

Another one even implicated his sister because of his matter, and the more Xia Ye thought about it, the more depressed he became.

He still remembered that when he was selected for Qingshan Academy and Xia Fei was not selected, this person said, "Brother, you study hard, the Xia family will depend on you in the future", the language was so kind and sincere, and when he left, he also specially gave him a precious inkstone as a congratulatory gift, could such a sincere brother really hurt him, and took the opportunity to invite him to eat and drink and send him to the sick ** bed.

He was waiting for an explanation, an explanation from Xia Fei himself.

I thought this person would come last night, but he didn't see this person until now.

Is all this really as my sister said, Xia Fei is a villain addict and always regards the second room as a dinging in his eyes? The past life and yesterday's incident formed a stark contrast, which made his heart too big a gap, and his mind fell into sadness.

At this time, he didn't reply when he heard his sister's shout, but still stood by the window and looked out.

Xia Li entered the house and saw the back of his brother Xiao Suo, feeling angry and angry, and feeling a little pitiful.

She said directly: "Brother, is Xia Fei more important than your sister in your heart?" ”

Hearing this, Xia Ye hurriedly turned around and said, "Of course not, in my heart, my sister is the most important, why do you think so?" ”

"So what do you think I can think? Xia Fei hurt you, you are so sad that you can't even take care of me, your sister and I haven't eaten since the morning! ”

"How can you make yourself hungry, Qing Shui, Qing Shui" Xia Ye hurriedly called his little girl.

"It's coming, young master"

"Hurry up, go to the kitchen and bring some breakfast to our brother and sister, just eat here"

Qing Shui was happy when he heard this, and secretly said that there was still a way to leave the young lady, and he could call the young master to eat as soon as he came.

When the food was served, the two brothers and sisters sat on one side and started eating, Xia Li said while eating:

"Brother, do we have money in the second room?"

"Money? Why did my sister remember to ask this? ”

"Oh, I'm just wondering, why did the eldest aunt take over my mother's treasury after my mother's death, our brothers and sisters are also so old, and we have to take care of it ourselves!"

Xia Ye didn't know about it, except for thinking about his mother's death during this time, he was preparing for the scientific expedition, and he didn't think about anything related to silver money at all.

He shook his head and said, "Maybe my father will know about this matter!" ”

"Father? Do you still pin this on your father? I don't think he cares about anything."

When the two of them talked about this, Xia Ye remembered that his sister was beaten last night, put down his chopsticks with a snap, knocked his head hard, and said:

"Look at my memory, last night Qing Shui said you were okay, I really thought you were okay, and I forgot to ask how your injuries were? Let my brother take a look, hit there? ”

After Xia Ye finished speaking, he went straight over to look at Xia Li's back.

Xia Li couldn't cry or laugh, this brother was really strong to come, and she really didn't know what to do.

She is not a child, how can she undress in front of her brother! Hurriedly pulled his brother's arm and said:

"Brother, I don't have anything to do, didn't I tell you? I know how to do it, that punishment is just a trivial matter."

"Really?" Natsuba still wasn't convinced.

"Of course it's true, what did I lie to you, besides, if I'm going to get hurt, I can still come to you, I can still sit here and eat with you, and I will run to bed early and lie down"

Xia Ye thought about it for a while, and then sat back and said, "Although you are not injured, but my brother did not protect you, I still feel very sorry, next time no matter where it is, my brother will definitely accompany you."

"Good" Xia Lijue's heart was warm, and she secretly swore in her heart that she must protect her brother in this life.

Until the brother and sister finished eating, no one noticed that the two were chatting while eating, and did not follow the principle of eating and sleeping.

Xia Li said to Xia Ye: "Brother, why don't we go to find our father!" Let my father go and ask for my mother's things, although money is something outside the body, but it is something left by my mother, and we can't let my aunt take possession of it. ”

Although Xia Ye was skeptical, he also advocated that they take care of their mother's things themselves, at least when they think of their mother, they will look at these objects as misses.

Thinking of this: "Good"

The brother and sister sent Qing Shui to see if their father was at home, and when the little girl came back, he reported that the second master had already gone to the court and was not there.

Xia Li was anxious, and wanted to know what the situation was, so he called Chu Handao:

"Do you know the mother-in-law who kept the key to the treasury before her mother's death?"

Chu Han said: "The slave maid knows, but since the death of Mrs. Da, the princess has found an excuse to go home and leave."

"I'm going home, but I don't know if this person is really home or ......, do you know Mrs. Wang's family in the early cold? Can you inquire, is Mrs. Wang really home? ”

Chu Han thought for a while and said: "Chun'er's mother had a good relationship with this princess, I will go and ask her to talk to her mother secretly, and see if I can take the time to go to the princess's house to see the situation."

"Okay, that's the best, you can go in a while, I want to know today"

It didn't take long for the first cold to go back, and she entered the house with an ugly face, "Miss, Chun'er said that her mother just went to see Mrs. Wang last night"

"How?"

"Mrs. Wang...... Dead"

"Dead, how?"

"He said that he had a cold and had no money for treatment, so he dragged on for a few days and went"

"No money, what about the money she made here? Also, don't you give some money when you leave the house? You should give some out of humanity, right? It's impossible not to give it at all! ”

Chu Han shook his head, "I heard that Mrs. Wang's family only has a son who is not angry, and he doesn't drink all day except gambling, and the money has long been squandered by this person."

"Alas, what a wretched man must have something to hate! When he was old, he raised such a good son."

Xia Ye said there: "In life, there will always be some evil and good, I can't imagine that Mrs. Wang served her mother and ended up like this."

Xia Li didn't know much about the suffering of the world, because in her world, there was nothing else to do except kill people and make money, she just felt that her clues were broken.

In that said: "Brother, we don't have to guess, I think I will go directly to the eldest aunt to ask for the key, and see what she will say?" ”

Xia Ye disagreed, "No, everything will wait for my father to come back"

Xia Li had no choice but to nod, but the two brothers and sisters didn't come back until the sun set.

In the end, she couldn't help it, and said there: "Brother, I'll go to my aunt's first to ask about the situation, and don't mention the matter of returning the key to my mother's treasury?" How long will it take to sit and wait like this? ”

Xia Ye saw that her sister was so anxious that she had no choice but to say, "Okay then!" But don't talk about getting the key back when you get there, first ask your mother if the key to the storehouse is kept by the eldest aunt? If she says yes, you'll come back and know? ”

"Okay, I know" Xia Li secretly said that she finally went to the big house, what could she do if she didn't ask for the key?

She was afraid that her brother would be worried, so she had to agree first, and led Chu Han to go.

This is the second time she has come to Li Honglian's yard.

She hadn't looked too closely at it before, but this time she took a good look left and right.

The courtyard is quite large, and there are flowers and trees in it, and even the cloister is more beautiful than the rest of the house, which is really incomparable to other places.

However, Xia Li found a strange thing, that is, there were few secret guards around the red lotus, and it seemed that there were more than the old lady.

She really suspected that these secret guards were Li Honglian's personal guards, otherwise why would there be so many people protecting her alone.

Xia Li probably counted that there were more than a dozen people.

When I arrived at the gate of the courtyard, the little girl inside reported that Xia Li went in without staying too long.

When I entered the hall, I saw Li Honglian and her two daughters fiddling with something, like jewelry.

Li Hong even raised her head, as if she didn't see it.

Although Xia Li was angry in his heart, he still had to give a salute first, "Li'er to meet the eldest aunt".

Li Honglian only pretended to see her at this time, and said there: "Oh, it's from the girl, sit down, sit down."

Xia Li didn't bother to talk to this person, and said there: "Auntie, I have something to do with you, I heard that the key to my mother's treasury is with you, I want to take it back"

The weather is not normal, and the alternation of hot and cold is changing, woo woo!
