Go through the target and kill the main god
Chapter 12 The Poisoned Wife
Mrs. Bai spoke, "Since mother proposed it, my daughter-in-law will accept it shamelessly. It just so happens that I'm a little weak these days, so it's up to my mother to take care of the house!"
Seeing her daughter-in-law letting go of power so readily, the old lady was overjoyed and became very arrogant!
Before, I was afraid that she was an official girl and would not listen to discipline, but now it seems that she is almost the same as the first daughter-in-law!
Then I thought about it, no matter her background, she had to abide by the rules when marrying into the Lou family. I was too careful before!
With a smile, he said, "Okay, from now on, I will take care of the house!"
Since Mr. Bai himself agreed, the Lou family and his son naturally had no objections!
The old lady happily accepted the cards. In fact, there were few people in the No. 1 Scholar's Palace, so it didn't matter whether they had the cards or not. These were all the Bai family's habits copied from her mother's family!
The old lady had the attitude of being the first to take office as a new official, and called all the servants in the house to lecture her.
The servants had already received Mrs. Bai's instructions, but they did so honestly, which made the old lady secretly happy!
She is now the mother of the number one scholar, who dares to look down on her?
After training for a long time, the butler came forward after seeing that the old lady was happy and receiving the hint from Bai's eyes.
"Old lady! The Chinese New Year is coming soon. Can you give me some rules on how to celebrate this New Year?"
The old lady was stunned and said, "Fool, have you lived all these years in vain? What rules do you need for the New Year? Buy some good wine and food, worship ancestors and set off firecrackers. This year, my son's high school will be more lively!"
"It's a pity that my hometown is far away and I can't go home to celebrate the New Year. However, there are also ancestral tablets here, so I can make offerings to my ancestors at home!"
The butler's outward attitude was respectful, but he knew in his heart that the country woman couldn't come up with anything new!
Then he said, "What the old lady said is true, but since I have become an official, I will give gifts to the superior at the end of this year. What kind of gift do you think is appropriate?"
The old lady was startled and panicked for a moment. How could she know this?
Lou Ruo knew that my mother was messing around and said, "Mom, this capital city is not as good as the countryside, and it is even more careless to give gifts to Shangguan. You should let me take care of the house!"
The old man also scolded, "Old lady, stop making such fooling around!"
The old lady had no choice but to sigh, "Okay!"
The housekeeper's power was back, and Mrs. Bai was proud of it and arranged household affairs in public.
The servants are ordered to step aside and each perform their duties!
The old lady could only curl her lips secretly.
Mrs. Bai smiled again and said, "My husband has just entered the court and my family doesn't have much savings. I have an ancient inkstone in my dowry. Give it to me as a gift!"
Lou Ruo waved her hands hurriedly, "No, this is a dowry from my mother-in-law to my wife, how can I ask for it!"
Bai Shi smiled and said, "What's yours and mine? I've already married you. Now my husband needs me, how can I be stingy!"
The old man nodded secretly, "My daughter-in-law Ming Li, not bad!"
The old lady was also happy, "My wife is right, we are all one family, no matter you or me! By the way, take out that ancient inkstone of yours so that my mother can open her eyes too!"
Seeing her mother-in-law's fawning look, Mrs. Bai was secretly proud, "Xiao Cui! Go to the warehouse and find the ancient Songhe Yannian inkstone!"
The girl took the key and left quickly.
But soon, Xiaocui ran back with a look of panic, "Miss, something's wrong, the warehouse has been stolen!"
What?
The whole family couldn't sit still and hurriedly ran to the warehouse.
In the main courtyard, the boss's copper lock is hung on the warehouse door. If you look carefully, you will see that the lock has been violently broken by someone. It is just a decoration and is hanging in vain!
"What's going on?" Lou Ruo was so angry that he dropped the copper lock and pushed the door open. It was empty and there was nothing inside!
Bai rolled his eyes and fainted.
The old couple from the Lou family, with earth-colored faces, stayed on the spot.
After a while, the old lady took a deep breath and screamed, "It's over, it's all over!"
Bai, who was finally shaken awake by the girl, was paralyzed. The dowry was the foundation for her livelihood. There was nothing left, how could she bear it?
Lou Ruo was the first to come to his senses and walked around the empty room to see if he could find any clues. Unfortunately, the ground was clean and he couldn't find any!
He frowned, looked inside and out, and finally determined that the thief entered through the door and exited through the door.
At this moment, the housekeeper and servants who heard the commotion came and saw that the door of the warehouse where the young lady's dowry was kept was open and empty, and everyone's heart dropped!
The servants patrolling at night were called, but everyone swore that they heard no movement in the main courtyard!
The housekeeper got up in the middle of the night and heard nothing.
The most horrified person was Lou Ruo. The warehouse was right next to his room. There were still maids living in the courtyard, and no one heard the sound!
Xiaocui finally managed to calm Bai down and said hurriedly, "Yesterday, my wife asked me to go to the warehouse to get the bird's nest. The contents were still there. Later, I locked the door with Mother Zhang!"
The next woman stood up quickly and said, "Yes! We have indeed locked the door!"
Lou Ruo believes they are not lying!
What puzzled him was that the warehouse was packed full of 18 mahogany boxes, each of which was very heavy. It was absolutely impossible for people not to know that it was emptied without disturbing anyone!
Lou Ruo is a light sleeper and can be awakened by the slightest disturbance. I woke up several times in the middle of the night and there was no abnormality at all!
This is strange. The butler's face turned pale and he trembled his lips as he said, "The lady's dowry is packed with 18 mahogany boxes. Even the empty boxes are heavy. The six of us servants moved several times before we moved them in."
!”
Of course Lou Ruo knew, he was also present at the time, and he soon thought of another question!
"Go and see if the courtyard gate has been damaged!"
The servant looked at it and said, "Come back to me, sir! The door is fine!"
The butler's face turned pale, "How did you transport so many things?"
Lou Ruo was thinking about this problem. Even if a thief broke into the house and moved things, without using the courtyard door, could he have escaped from the roof?
"Check other places, the front and back doors, and various courtyard walls to see if there are any traces!"
The servants were all afraid of taking responsibility, so they went in a hurry.
The old lady suddenly said, "Wong Tai Sin! It must be Wong Tai Sin!"
The housekeeper's heart trembled, this is possible!
The old man was so anxious that he pulled his beard straight away. He was heartbroken that his daughter-in-law had lost so much dowry!
Lou Ruo's face turned ugly, "Mom! Don't cause trouble at this time!"
While they were talking, all the servants came back, "Come back to me, sir! The front and back doors are in good condition, and there are no traces of trampling on any of the courtyard walls!"
Lou Ruo felt cold in his heart, and the old lady shouted with certainty, "It's Wong Tai Sin, it's unmistakable. Who else has such means except the Immortal family!"
Bai finally came to her senses and exclaimed, "It's Qian Mingyue! She did it. You go and find her!"
The servants dispersed in a hurry.
The old lady curled her lips, "No way! That bitch is still sick. Not to mention 18 of them, even one box can't be taken away. It's definitely Wong Tai Sin!"
The old man lost his usual calmness. He was just a country boy, and he often heard these stories about gods and ghosts!
He said anxiously, "Why did you provoke the Xian family so easily!"
When the old lady saw that the old man agreed with her point of view, she became even more enthusiastic, "I told you that I would worship Wong Tai Sin properly. If you still don't believe it, you must be punished now!"
