After being reborn as a widow, the mistress of the Hou family remarried a powerful official

Chapter 24
Although these two people looked ugly, they said nothing. They must have surrendered.

"I heard from the housekeeper, have you reported to the police?"

Ke Yiqing greeted him with a smile, "Yes, mother, when you tried my dowry last time, you can see that Jing Zhaoyi is a good official with real talents and learning. This time, I will definitely be able to find that little thief!"

Hearing her talk about the dowry suddenly aroused bad memories for the old lady.

The old lady's face was livid, and she swung the crutch and was about to hit her. This time, Zi Xing was not needed, and Ke Yiqing avoided it.

"You still dare to hide, you are going to rebel against heaven!"

Ke Yiqing looked aggrieved and said loudly, "My family's property was stolen. Why is my mother not worried at all, but my daughter-in-law reported to the official that she was beaten and killed?"

"I-I'm afraid of being laughed at."

"Whoever steals something will be held accountable. If a thief breaks the law, everyone will just applaud and applaud. How can they laugh at us?"

The old lady was speechless and could only slap the table angrily, "Our Pingyang Marquis Mansion has been in decline for a long time. The second son is still in the prison. You will come out to cause trouble now. If the second son can't come out, I won’t spare you!”

Ke Yiqing pretended to be puzzled, "It's just a report to an official to catch a thief. How could it become so serious once it comes to my mother's mouth?"

"When the elders say something, you just say back, okay, okay, I don't care what you think, it's the right thing to go and deal with the official errand!"

"That won't work."

The old lady's eyes widened in disbelief, "You are trying to force me to death. Is there such an unfaithful and unfilial daughter-in-law as you?"

She pretended to be in trouble, "I finally got my dowry back, and now it's stolen again. How will I make a living in the future?"

The eldest lady, who had been silent at this time, also said: "The ancestral jadeite in my wife's warehouse is also missing."

The old lady glared at the two of them, "It's full of nonsense. When did you put your dowry in your warehouse? It's just a few silk rags! There is also the old man's family, how can there be any jade?"

The eldest lady stepped back and became a quail again.

But Ke Yiqing gave the eldest lady a meaningful look, then pretended to hesitate and said: "How does the old lady know what is in my warehouse? How does the old lady know whether the eldest lady has jade?"

The old lady was so frightened that she shut up.

She smiled and said, "As the saying goes, as long as someone has done something wrong, there are no clues. I guess if you go to a nearby pawn shop, you can see the belongings of several sisters-in-law!"

When several people present heard this, their faces turned pale except for her.

The old lady panicked, "I can't, I can't!"

"Why is this?"

The old lady started to fake cough again, "You know that I have a bad memory recently. I just remembered that I ordered the housekeeper to go to your yard to take a look."

Ke Yiqing said in disbelief: "So, you ordered someone to steal it?"

"Ahem, we are all a family, how can we call them thieves?"

"Then why don't you tell your wives?"

Being pressed like this, the old lady also felt guilty, "I told you that my memory has been bad recently, maybe I forgot to remind the housekeeper." As she said this, she pretended to mutter, saying that the housekeeper was useless, and he didn't even do this. Not even the smallest things were done.

"No matter what, you are the one who applied for this official position. If the official comes, you will be responsible for sending him back."

"What the old lady said is that they are all members of one's own family, so what's the point of stealing?"

Seeing that the old lady's face looked better, she pretended to be innocent and said, "When the officials come, I will tell you the truth. The person who broke open our warehouse door late at night and took things without permission was sent by the old lady. Not the little thieves out there.”

"You are disobedient!"

"Rebellion is a serious crime. If you really think so, you can sue the government together. My wife also wants to see how the official will punish her!"

"You, you are going to make me mad!" The old lady beat her chest and stamped her feet. This time she was really angry and her heart ached.

"The old lady said these words, which really offended me." After saying this, she turned to leave, but was stopped by the nanny from before.

Seeing that the situation was not conducive to them, grandma also changed her attitude and urged: "Young madam was the most knowledgeable and sensible before, and she was also considerate and considerate to the old madam. How come you are now unwilling to suffer even the slightest loss?"

She chattered a lot, and the general idea was that the entire Hou family was a family. Now that the family was in trouble, they naturally had to help.

If Ke Yiqing hadn't been deceived by them in her previous life, she would have burst into tears and vowed to repent of herself after hearing this rhetoric. It's a pity that she no longer believes this rhetoric.

"Mom, what you said is true. Could it be that you often pick things from your wife's hands on weekdays?"

The grandma kept saying it with a livid face, but the old lady was afraid. She was afraid that the official official would really come. If something happened, what if her son couldn't come back?
"That's all. When I encounter such a Sangmenxing, I have no choice but to admit defeat."

The old lady waved her arms feebly, instructing her to get something to compensate her.

When the people came back, Ke Yiqing took a look and saw that they were just scraps of metal that ordinary people couldn't handle.

She sneered: "It's quite new. The old lady is the mistress of the Hou Mansion. How can I get rid of this kind of thing? Could it be that she threw her secret treasure to me?"

"Young madam, what are you talking about? These are all the things left behind by the Marquis when he followed the Holy Master to conquer the country!"

Ke Yiqing covered her nose, this old guy really wasn't ashamed of himself, he actually took out his man's old man to fool her.

The old lady hummed, "These things are of great significance. I am extremely gracious to reward you. Please withdraw the petition as soon as you take it."

"Okay, I remembered that some treasures were lost in my warehouse, so I'm going to talk to Jing Zhaoyi."

This made the old lady completely anxious: "Stop her quickly!"

She raised her eyebrows, "It seems that the old lady is really confused. Can you stop me, Master Jing Zhaoyi?"

Now the old lady had no choice but to ask her grandma to take her to the warehouse to pick out a few items.

As soon as he entered, Ke Yiqing cursed secretly: What a shameless old man, he has so many treasures hidden away, but he still steals his wife's wealth to replenish his treasury!

In my last life, I was still too young, and I actually believed the old lady’s lies, and even gave money to people to buy ginseng!
In the sight of her mother's pain, she picked the most expensive and largest ones without any ceremony.

When she returned to the house, she happily distributed several bunches of red agate among the jade brocade, "You are not married yet, so my wife will save your dowry first!"

Yu Jin said sadly: "Madam, your life is almost at risk, how can you still have the time to fight with the old lady?"

Ke Yiqing paused, but kept moving his hands, and even rewarded the boy who complained of falsehood with some broken silver.

When she was free, she smiled and said: "I live one day at a time. As long as I live, I don't want to be criticized."

She had had enough of this bastard's anger in her previous life!
Yu Jin clutched the beautiful and bright red agate in her hand, and her mood became better, but she still felt unfair for her: "I am such a good lady, who wants to harm you."

A cold light flashed in Ke Yiqing's eyes. Although she didn't know who the real culprit was, she also locked in the method of poisoning.

"Do you remember Bamboo Leaf Chicken?"

"Remember, I remember that you loved it most after you were pregnant. You can eat half of it even if you are not hungry."

"I have a very bad appetite, but I have a special liking for bamboo leaf chicken because every time I come back from the pear garden, I smell the aroma of bamboo leaf chicken."

After thinking about it for a while, it turned out to be strange. The maid in the Liyuan said that Yan Ming specially prepared it for Ruan Lingling, but she had always been at odds with Ruan Lingling, so naturally she would not go to confirm it.

After her rebirth, she didn't go to the Liyuan many times, but how could it be such a coincidence that every time she went, she would bump into the Liyuan's cook making Bamboo Leaf Chicken for Ruan Lingling?

After hearing her explanation, Yu Jin was angry and anxious, tears streaming down her face, "You were pregnant with his child, and that thief actually harmed you!"

Ke Yiqing laughed. Yu Jin thought she was gentle and soft-tempered. This was the first time she had the courage to call Yan Ming a thief, which showed that she hated him.

"It's not him. I think the person who harmed me is closely related to him. I have to go to the Liyuan again."

Not only because the person who harmed her had a close relationship with the opera house, but also because of the famine that would follow, she had to go there.
