The second lady Fang was dumbfounded when she heard that the bill in the gold shop was fake.

"How is this possible, I've been in that gold shop for years, and I've never made a mistake." Fang didn't believe it, so he grabbed the bill and summoned another confidant steward to ask him to go to the gold shop to exchange the jewelry.

But the steward didn't do much to go, and when he came back, he still called the bill a fake.

Fang immediately felt a cold sweat break out on his head.

It wasn't until Ye Xuelian cautiously called "Mother" that she came back to her senses.

"This thing has always been in my mother's possession?" Ye Xue asked repeatedly.

Fang nodded.

Ye Xuelian frowned and puzzled: "Is it a thief in my mother's house?" ”

Fang thought about it, and finally had to gather all the people in the courtyard and let the housekeeper's mother take her mother-in-law to search room by room.

As a result, a lot of love letters and silver hairpins were found in the private collection, among which there was even a maid who secretly hid the sachet that the second master Ye Guangling carried, obviously this maid had met with her man privately for a long time, and only grabbed the teacup angrily and smashed it on the man's head, beating the maid all over the blood, kneeling there and kowtowing vigorously, begging the second lady to spare her life.

After searching around, no abnormalities were found, it is said that Min's jewelry is all exchanged for silver, and it can also be worth tens of thousands of taels, Fang can't believe that so many things will be said to be gone.

"Who else did my mother show this bill to?" Ye Xuelian also looked a little anxious, the jewelry that the Fang family promised to give her was all in it.

Fang thought for a moment, and suddenly slapped his thigh, "Your eldest brother!" On the day Ye Yaoqin got married, I handed over the bill to your eldest brother and asked him to go to the gold shop to redeem some jewelry. ”

Ye Xue was shocked, what kind of person her eldest brother was, she knew best, in front of his parents, he pretended to be filial, and in front of his grandfather, he pretended to be a gentleman, but in fact, he was a young master.

"Mother, how can you give him the bill!" Ye Xue was in a hurry to jump to her feet.

"It's not because he owed other people's gambling debts at the time, everyone came to ask for the account, it happened that Ye Yaoqin got married that day, if he made a big fuss, your grandfather would be the first to spare him!"

Fang Shi hurriedly walked around the house a few times, and instructed the housekeeper's mother: "Quick, go and call the eldest young master!" ”

The housekeeper's mother trotted away.

Ye Ronghe was sitting in his own courtyard with a book in his hand, pretending to be reading, but in fact he was thinking about how to get money out of Ye Zhiwei's hand to help him pay off his debts.

The prince of Nanwang is a character, he definitely doesn't dare to provoke, but Ye Zhiwei is not afraid.

If she was really capable, how could she be so miserable in the Zhenguo Mansion before, she couldn't even eat a full meal, she is now relying on the favor of the prince of Nanwang, so she is in the limelight, but men have always liked the new and hated the old, Ye Zhiwei must also know this, he wants to seize this point to force her to agree to help herself.

He was thinking about it when the housekeeper's mother came in and called Fang to call him over.

Ye Ronghe's heart beat a small drum.

As soon as he entered the courtyard, just looking at the formation, he knew that something was wrong.

As soon as he entered the room, a tea bowl flew over, Ye Ronghe hurriedly dodged, and the tea bowl flew over close to his face.

Immediately afterwards, Fang Shi pounced, and his fists rained down on his body.

"You unconscious thing, say! Where did you get all that jewelry! Fang was so angry that his hair stood on end.

Ye Xuelian pretended to wipe her tears on the side, "Big brother did too much this time...... My little sister's jewelry and dowry are all in it......"

Ye Ronghe was still a little panicked at first, but gradually he sensed from Fang's words that she didn't want Zhen Guogong to know about it.

As long as my grandfather didn't know about it, he had a way to live.

Thinking of this, he simply turned his heart sideways and said: "Mother, don't blame me, I was just kind at the beginning, and I felt that so many jewelry in the gold shop was just a dead thing, so it was better to exchange it for silver to do business." ”

"Business? What kind of business have you done! Fang Shi angrily pointed at him with his hand.

Ye Ronghe said helplessly, "At the beginning, my son made a lot of money, but who knew that later, the price of dried chili peppers in the city plummeted, and all the goods were smashed in his hands......"

"Where's the real bill?" Fang asked.

Ye Ronghe had to take out the real bill from his arms.

Fang snatched it and handed it to the housekeeper mother beside him.

The steward went out with the bill, Ye Ronghe shrunk in his chair, lowered his head, and peeked at the Fang clan from time to time.

After another half an hour, the housekeeper's mother came back, put three taels of silver on the kang table, and then stood aside with her head bowed.

Fang's eyes widened, "What does this mean?" ”

"In this note...... There's only so much money left...... "The housekeeper's mother said helplessly.

Fang Shi slammed the kang table to the ground along with the three taels of silver, and the frightened maid in the room didn't even dare to come out.

"Where's my money! Where's my jewelry! She screamed.

Seeing this, the housekeeper's mother stepped forward to dissuade her, Ye Ronghe cried and mourned, and lowered her head and said, "Those jewelry sons have all taken out and exchanged them for silver, and they have purchased the ...... of those dried chili peppers."

Fang's eyes were torn apart, "So much money...... You've spent all of it! And he lost 10,000 taels of silver? ”

She couldn't imagine how Ye Ronghe had lost so much money.

"Actually......" Ye Ronghe hesitated again and again, and simply came to a dead pig who was not afraid of boiling water, and said the matter of betting on the dog.

Fang's family was struck by lightning.

"Last time, didn't you promise me never to gamble again?"

Ye Ronghe hung his head, looking pitiful, "Mother, my son is wrong, you can spare your son this time, now my son doesn't even dare to go out of the mansion, those people are blocked outside, they want their son's life, do you want to watch your son die?" ”

Fang's lips trembled, no matter how much she hated and was angry, Ye Ronghe was her son after all, and he was also the only grandson of Zhenguo Gong, if Zhenguo Gong was not there in the future, even if they divided the family, their second room would get more silver and family property because of this.

Now if this matter is known to the Duke of Zhenguo, I am afraid that he will beat Ye Ronghe to death.

Although the old man opened his eyes and closed his eyes to the affairs of the back house, he was very strict with the men in the house, and it can be seen from Ye Ronghe who almost killed someone a few years ago that the prince of Zhenguo had high hopes for this grandson.

It's a pity...... Her own son, she knows herself, the mud will not be able to support the wall.

But no matter how bad he is, he is still his precious son.

"Xue Lian." Fang Shi shuddered and said, "Pack up, let's go to Nanwang's Mansion." ”

Ye Xue even had a white face, and the loss in her heart was mentioned.

The eldest brother actually lost her jewelry and dowry, but his mother only scolded him a few times and helped him clean up the aftermath.

Mother, sure enough, is partial to the eldest brother.

Ye Xue even went back to her yard, and while cleaning up and dressing up, she secretly thought to herself: It seems that her family affairs still have to work hard to win it.

Otherwise, one day, if someone said that they would use her to pay off the debts owed by her eldest brother, she believed that her mother might really respond.

Thinking of this, she couldn't help but shudder.
