"Sister..."
Concubine Xi was shocked and suddenly realized.
"No wonder, no wonder..."
Concubine Xi murmured, her eyes falling on the birthday gift that the Xiao family had perfunctorily sent, and she finally understood Xiao Chongjing's reason for suddenly neglecting her.
Touching her son's face distressedly, she sneered, "Are you trying to hedge your bets? Well, I want to see what that bastard is capable of!"
…
"How is it? How much is it worth?"
In the pawn shop, Tian Huqiang and his son looked at the shopkeeper with greedy faces, "With so many gems on this box, it must be worth three to five hundred taels, right? And that painting, it must be worth thousands... No, several Wan Liang..."
"How many tens of thousands taels?"
The shopkeeper looked at Tian Huqiang and his son as if they were fools, pointed at the things in front of him and said, "This painting box is well made and can be used as a tael. This painting is fake and worthless."
"How is that possible!" Tian Huqiang and his son couldn't believe it. "Are you blind and saw it wrong?"
"Impossible, my eyes can't be wrong."
"You must be wrong!"
Tian Huqiang and his son were very insistent.
They firmly believed that the things taken from the general's mansion could not be fake.
"Gentlemen, I'm still saying that. I can't be wrong." The shopkeeper said very proudly: "I have been looking at the counter since I was eight years old. In these decades, what good things have I not seen? Is it true or false? I will take a quick look at it. You know. If you two don't believe it, you can try another pawn shop."
"Just change it to another one."
The Tian family father and son made a sound, stepped forward, put the scroll back into the painting box, wrapped the painting box in clothes, and left angrily.
But I searched several pawnshops in succession, but got the same result.
"Grandpa, I'm really possessed by evil spirits today..."
Tian Huqiang and his son muttered but still refused to give up. They were about to try another pawn shop, but they were blocked by a group of people in an alley. He quickly wanted to turn back and run, but the other side of the alley was also blocked.
The leader of this group of people is Scar, the casino's watchman.
He came to collect a debt.
But where can Tian Huqiang and his son have the money to pay off their debts?
They could only laugh and joke, "Brother Scar, isn't it half a month already? Why are you so anxious..."
"It's less than half a month, but it's almost the New Year."
Scar played with the dagger and came to the Tian family father and son, and said calmly: "Old rules, old accounts are not old, don't make it difficult for me."
"Yes, but we have no money now... otherwise..."
Tian Huqiang and his son felt guilty and hurriedly handed over the painting box and scroll in their hands, "How about using this as payment? This thing was obtained from the General's Mansion, so it is very valuable..."
"Don't you dare fart for me!"
Scar cursed coldly, and his men immediately stepped forward and kicked Tian Huqiang and his son down, and pulled out their right hands.
Starting from Tian Baokang, Scar raised his dagger and was about to drop it cleanly...
At this time, Tian Baokang shouted anxiously, "Brother Scar, can I pay back the money!"
"oh?"
Scar deflected his wrist and dropped the dagger between Tian Baokang's fingers. He smiled, "Is your kid trying to trick your mother again?"
"How can my own family's affairs be called a trap..."
Tian Baokang hehe accompanied the smiling face.
"That's right, if I don't spend my own daughter-in-law's money, whose money will I spend?"
Tian Huqiang also quickly agreed.
Seeing that Scar had no objection, the two of them felt happy and quickly got up from the ground, trembling.
Then, he took them all the way to the general's mansion.
But because of Ruan Yunluo's instructions, the group was stopped by the guards when they were far away from the general's mansion. No matter what Tian Huqiang and his son said, they would not let them get close.
"Okay, okay." Scar said impatiently, "I don't have time to spend time with you here. If you have money now, just take it out. If you don't have money, I will chop off your hands. You can choose for yourself. Bar."
"If you have money, you will have money..."
Tian Huqiang and his son quickly laughed along with them.
The two murmured in low voices for a while, and suddenly, Tian Baokang thought of a good idea.
He quickly told Tian Huqiang his idea, and Tian Huqiang's eyes lit up instantly.
"You little brat!"
Tian Huqiang smiled and cursed, and then shouted at the top of his voice, "Wan Chun, you stinky bitch, who gave you the courage to cuckold me! Is it the one named Xiao?"
What is your relationship with that person named Xiao? you two……"
Sure enough, after scolding her like this for a while, Nanny Wan couldn't hold it in any longer and came out with her face flushed.
She grabbed the long knife of the guard at the door and slashed it at Tian Huqiang...
Tian Huqiang was startled and quickly ran and shouted for help.
The two of them ran and chased each other for a while, then gradually stopped.
"You, if you dare to come to me again, I, I will kill you!"
Grandma Wan gasped, pointed a knife at Tian Hu and threatened...
At this time, Tian Baokang suddenly attacked her from behind and tried to snatch the jade bracelet from her hand.
Aunt Wan was shocked and quickly protected the jade bracelet with both hands.
The mother and son were fighting for it, and they were in a stalemate. At this time, Tian Huqiang suddenly pounced on him.
He was neither gentle nor heavy, and actually broke the bracelet!
The three people looked at the broken bracelet and were suddenly stunned.
"My bracelet!"
Aunt Wan was the first to react. She angrily grabbed the long knife and gave Tian Huqiang a hard kick. Then he sadly picked up the broken bracelet on the ground and rushed back to the general's mansion angrily.
"Mom, what's wrong with you?"
Tian Shuangshuang grabbed the broom in an aggressive manner and just arrived at the door. She was startled when she saw Grandma Wan's lost look, "Mom, are you injured? Where are you injured? Quickly let me see!"
"It's better if I'm injured." Nanny Wan looked at the broken bracelet on her hand with tears in her eyes, "Unfortunately, it's the one who's injured..."
"ah?"
The two people looked at the broken bracelet sadly and sighed together.
Sui Feng Garden.
Ruan Yunluo was drinking rock sugar snow pear when he suddenly discovered that the bracelet on Nanny Wan's hand was missing.
She frowned, "Where's your bracelet? Why don't you wear it?"
"I……"
Grandma Wan feels guilty.
She wanted to tell the truth, but she was afraid that Ruan Yunluo would blame her, so she could only hesitate, not knowing what she was talking about.
"The Tian family father and son are here again, right?"
Ruan Yunluo was a little disappointed. She thought that Aunt Wan would not be soft-hearted for both of them, but she didn't expect that she still chose to pay off her son's debt...
After all, she still failed to withstand the test...
Ruan Yunluo sighed, walked to the bedside, took out two silver notes, and handed them to Grandma Wan, "You take them with you and leave the capital. Don't use them to pay off the debts of the Tian family and his son. Find a place with beautiful mountains and clear waters. Use the money to buy a small house, open a small shop, and start over..."
"Madam, you, you want to kick me out?"
