Chapter 63: It's All Fake
And Ning Ruyan naturally knew Huo's every move, and guessed that she would definitely move her dowry, but she had already replaced all those valuable ones with fakes, but she didn't know how she would look when she took those things to the pawnshop and was thrown out?
And this was verified the next day.
Mama Yuan and the housekeeper were sent to the pawnshop by the Huo family, but when Mama Yuan took out a set of gold-inlaid jade in Ning Ruyan's dowry, the pawnshop people only gave ten taels of silver after inspection, and Mama Yuan quarreled with others on the spot, and was finally driven out by the pawnshop people, and said that it was not covered with gold at all, even if the jade was just a stone similar to jade, and ten taels of silver was still given handmade money.
Mama Yuan and housekeeper Jiang Cheng suddenly felt that their faces were gone, and they hurriedly picked up their things and ran back.
"How so? Ning, you actually lied to me? After Huo Shi heard that the face was fake, he slapped the table angrily, "How dare you?" ”
Mama Yuan rolled her eyes in a place where the other party couldn't see, you dare to rob other people's dowries, what do people dare not do? However, the eldest lady is really powerful, and she even changed things early.
The reason why she didn't suspect that what she brought at the beginning was fake, because when she first got married, she helped count the dowry, she had been with the Huo family all these years, and she had also seen good things, so her eyesight was there, and she had seen and touched the things in Ning Ruyan's dowry, and knew that it was true, especially when there were two egg-sized night pearls in the dowry, which were rare, and she deliberately touched them twice at that time.
But this time in the warehouse, she also saw the two night pearls, but it felt weird, and she didn't think much about it, but looking at the head of this fake gold inlaid jade, she thought that maybe the beads should have been replaced, right?
No one could answer Huo's question, and she didn't want anyone to answer, so after venting, she got up and went to the warehouse again, this time asking people to open all the boxes and check them one by one.
The final result was unacceptable to her at all, because the dozen or so boxes of things were all fake, without exception, and even the cloth was all silk and satin on the outside, and when torn apart, it was all the lowest linen, the kind used to make sacks.
And those calligraphy and paintings, because they are all scrolls, when they are opened, they are just a scroll, and there is not even a single ink dot on it.
The only relief is that there are two shelf beds and a derailment of two screens in the warehouse, because it is a large object, so, it is true, but it is not Huanghuali's, but willow's, and the price is too much worse.
In short, this room of things, after the final calculation, can have a total of three hundred taels of silver, which has to be sold in the case.
"Ning, you really ......" Huo Shi took two steps back angrily, and then fell straight back.
Mama Yuan hurriedly stepped forward to help the person, patted her back and rubbed her chest, and it took a long time for Huo Shi to ease up.
"Go to Ochiwon." Huo Shi turned around and walked out.
At this time, Zi Su had already gone back over the wall and reported everything to Ning Ruyan.
Ning Ruyan didn't react yet, but Banxia and Bai Zhi were happy.
"It's still the eldest lady who is smart, and knows that the old pious woman is not kind, so she changed everything, otherwise, they would really be cheaper."
"That's it, I thought that the eldest lady was making a big fuss before, but now I realized that it is really extremely wise."
"Okay, don't be a sycophant, Bai Zhi, shouldn't you go to Dr. Sun?" Ning Ruyan rubbed her forehead.
"yes, but we have our own door, and we can save half the time from here, so it's just in time." Bai Zhi nodded hurriedly, "Then I'll go." ”
Ning Ruyan pointed to the dim sum on the table: "Dr. Sun likes this begonia cake in our house." ”
"Okay." Bai Zhi packed the begonia cake and took it away.
As soon as Bai Zhi left, the Huo family had already arrived at the gate of Wutong Courtyard, the original gate, but when she saw the gate built of red bricks, she was stunned for a moment, there was no door, how could she find someone to question?
Jiang Cheng hurriedly went over and opened the small wooden door on the wall, originally thought that after opening it, he would be able to see the situation in the courtyard, but it turned out that there were bricks inside, which ......
"Ning." Huo couldn't help but scream.
But there was no one inside the wall.
"Jiang Cheng, smash this wall for me." Huo Shi was angry.
Jiang Cheng secretly complained to himself, this was built just yesterday, and it was smashed today? Is this playing? However, Huo was the head of the house, and he didn't dare to disobey it, so he could only respond, and then ordered the people who followed him to call people.
At this moment, a little girl ran over, didn't dare to find Huo's, and could only wave to Mama Yuan.
Mama Yuan hurriedly went over, and after listening to the little girl's words, her face changed, and she hurriedly came over and whispered to Huo.
"What?" Huo's face changed again, and he didn't even care about smashing the wall, so he turned around and left.
Jiang Cheng frowned, and hurriedly followed, let's talk about smashing the wall later.
Next to the rockery in the back garden, there was a circle of people at this time, but in the gap in the rockery, two piles of white flowers and flowers were exposed.
"Nonsense." Huo's qi was dizzy, maybe he had been angry once just now, but this time the resistance was strong, he didn't faint, but his body shook a little, "It's all scattered." ”
The onlookers hurriedly dispersed, leaving only the masters of the house.
At this time, the two people in the rockery were already dressed neatly, and it was none other than Jiang Bowen and Xu Yingying.
As soon as the two of them came out, they knelt on the ground, and their faces were not very good, Xu Yingying was even trembling all over, and she didn't know whether she was scared or ashamed because she was discovered.
"You two...... Simply ......"
"Second Young Master, how can you do this to me?" At this time, Li Niang also rushed over, "You said that the eldest young master's filial piety, so you can't entertain, you haven't touched me since you entered Beijing, but as a result, you are like Miss Biao, you are simply ...... Woo, my life is so miserable......" But from an angle that others couldn't see, a touch of coldness flashed in his eyes.
Jiang Bowen clenched his fists and glared, wanting to justify, but found that there was no way to justify it at all.
"Cousin, I fell in love with my second cousin at first sight, and I couldn't help it." Xu Yingying also began to mumble, "Ask my cousin to fulfill it." ”
"What is perfected? You shameless one, you're going to ruin me. Aunt Zhao rushed up and tore Xu Yingying, "The eldest young master's filial piety has not passed, if this is spread out, will my son still be a man?" (End of chapter)
