Chapter 65: Yuan Wan takes the blame
"Poof".
Wei Rong's bowl fell to the ground and shattered into several pieces.
Yuan Wan was obviously startled and trembled.
"Old, master," Wei Rong's face was full of panic, she put down the chopsticks in her hand, stood up from the stool, and looked at Yuan Kun flatteringly, "My body is a little uncomfortable, my hand slipped a little, don't blame the master." ”
As he spoke, he glared at Zhang's mother behind him, "Quickly let someone clean up here." ”
"Yes, ma'am."
Yuan Kun looked at everything that was happening in front of him and glared at Wei Rong, "If you don't feel well, you can rest, frizzy, where is there a housewife." ”
After that, he turned his head to look at Yuan Li, "It's exactly the same as the object in your mother's dowry?" What do you mean by that? ”
Waving to Xiaocui, Yuan Li took a brocade box and handed it to Yuan Kun, "Father, please take a look." ”
"My daughter remembers, before my mother got married, my grandfather was still alive, and after the marriage was decided, my grandfather spent a lot of money to ask a southern craftsman to create a pearl cloud jade gilt hairpin, and it was once rumored that I would rather be a white house girl, not an official family, my grandmother told me this story many times, father, look at it, this one, but it is the pearl cloud jade gilt hairpin that was made with a lot of money?"
"What did you say?!"
Yuan Kun put down the chopsticks in his hand with a "snap" and took the brocade box, his voice suddenly increased, and Wei Rong's body shrank almost invisibly in an instant.
Yuan Wan and Yuan Wang's eyes also moved with the brocade box.
Yuan Kun stared at the brocade box and didn't make a sound for a long time.
"Father, the daughter is not mistaken, right?"
Yuan Li said with a smile.
Not only is it similar, it is exactly the same, or in other words, the hairpin in front of him is the one that Bai Zijin married.
After Bai's father left, Bai Zijin hugged the hairpin and cried all day long, and there was a particularly small white character engraved in the stamen above the hairpin's head, if you didn't look closely, ordinary people couldn't see it at all.
Yuan Kun didn't speak, only raised his eyes and stared at Wei Rong.
The anger and indifference in her eyes made Wei Rong feel cold.
She hurriedly knelt on the ground and grabbed the corner of Yuan Kun's clothes with both hands, "Master, this matter has nothing to do with me, I, I don't know anything!" ”
"Smack", Yuan Kun slapped Wei Rong in the face, and the force was so great that it directly knocked Wei Rong to the ground.
"Daddy!" Seeing that Yuan Kun was about to make a move, Yuan Wan hurriedly stepped forward and hugged Yuan Kun's arm, "Dad, Dad, don't be deceived by Yuan Li, this thing just looks like ......"
"Father, if you don't believe it, why don't you let Aunt Rong take us to see the dowry of our mother, we only saw this one, maybe, what thief has stolen more than one?"
Yuan Kun almost turned his back angrily.
Bai Zijin's ten-mile dowry once caused a sensation in the capital, and if it was really stolen, he would definitely vomit blood angrily.
"Let's go." Whether it is a thief or a thief, Yuan Kun has to take this opportunity to take a look today.
It's best to get the dowry in his hands and control it, so that the shop he has recently taken a fancy to will have the money to take it.
"Hold Madame up."
After Yuan Kun finished speaking, he walked straight to the treasury where the dowry was placed, and Yuan Li happily followed him, raising his eyebrows from time to time to look at Wei Rong, who had a dirty purple face.
After all, her unscrupulous purpose is to become Yuan Kun's wife, since this is the case, let's enjoy it.
"Open."
As soon as the group arrived at the warehouse, Yuan Kun pulled Wei Rong and pushed her in front of Bai Zijin's dowry box, "Hurry up and open these!" ”
Before Wei Rong officially became the lady of Yuanfu, the dowry here would be counted by the housekeeper every month, and then checked with the account room, until it was handed over to Wei Rong, and the monthly count was arranged by Wei Rong.
There is no problem with the dowry before the handover.
As for now......
As soon as the dowry box was opened, Yuan Kun's eyes involuntarily released greed.
Xu was because there was too much dowry, and at first glance he couldn't see what was missing, Yuan Kun didn't say anything, and Wei Rong breathed a sigh of relief.
"Xiao Cui, go, call the bookkeeper and the housekeeper."
Yuan Li started this today, so he didn't think about it and casually turned it over.
"Li'er, aren't all of this here? It's getting late at this time, so it's not convenient to check anything, or tomorrow, right? Yuan Wang saw Wei Rong's face, thought about it or spoke, wanted to help drag it out, if he really took his hands and feet, it would be a big deal to make up for it in time.
"Yes, Dad, my daughter is still hungry." Yuan Wan also stepped forward to hug the back of Yuan Kun's hand, and said coquettishly with a small mouth.
"Father, these are mother's dowries, but this is also the last thing that my mother left to you and me, they don't care, but father, you should care about your mother just like me, right?"
Yuan Li showed an aggrieved and sad expression.
Yuan Kun mainly heard the words "left to you and me", he was really sleepy and handed over the pillow, didn't this dowry arrive?
"Li'er is right! You have to find out today! Yuan Kun looked at Yuan Wang and Yuan Wan coldly, "Today's business is finished today, why do you want to delay it until tomorrow?" Wang'er, have you been lazy lately, and have you forgotten how your father usually taught you? ”
Since Chen Zhizhi's incident, Yuan Wang has also been implicated, and there are even rumors in the capital that Chen Zhizhi became like that because Yuan Wang harmed him, but he hurt the wrong person, and he wanted to harm Yuan Li at the beginning, otherwise, he would not have shouted Yuan Li's name as soon as he rushed into the broken temple.
There is no evidence Yuan Kun naturally doesn't believe it, but in the ears of others, such a vicious and ruthless person, no one is willing to help Yuan Wang get an official and a half-job, so Yuan Kun has been very disappointed in Yuan Wang recently, and he just thinks about waiting for the limelight to pass, and then he can find a way to pave the way for him.
"And you Yuanwan, when you're hungry, go eat by yourself! I haven't seen you do anything all day, I only know how to eat and drink, or I just go shopping with people for fun, there are mountains of gold and silver in this house, and it is not enough to squander like you! ”
Listening to the bookkeeper, Yuan Li didn't find a penny in the house to do business, and even the monthly distribution was the least, unlike Yuan Wan, relying on Yuan Kun's favor, he withdrew extra money from time to time, for Yuan Kun, taking his money was more uncomfortable than asking for his life!
"Daddy!"
Yuan Wan looked at the man in front of her in disbelief, tears came out of her eyes, she sat aside angrily, staring at Yuan Li, and her heart had already slashed her countless times.
"Master, Second Miss," after the bookkeeper and the housekeeper checked, the two looked at each other, and the housekeeper handed over the book, "Dowry, there are nine things missing, which are ......"
Listening to the things reported from the butler's mouth, as well as the corresponding value of the money, Yuan Kun covered his chest, looking like he was about to faint.
After the housekeeper finished speaking, Yuan Kun looked at Wei Rong, and before she could speak, he had already stepped forward and grabbed her hair, picked up Wei Rong's head like a madman and slammed it against the wall, "This is the back house you manage?!" It's a full 10 million taels of silver, and you can't see it?! ”
