Jin Tingjiao

Chapter 108
When Shen Xi came back from the Han family safe and sound, Huang and Shen Xin were inexplicably relieved. After all, they caused this incident. If Shen Xi was really punished, they were also afraid that she would come back and take revenge on them.

But Li Xiangyuan still didn't escape after scolding Shen Xin.

"On weekdays, I told you not to say anything wrong, and you still refused to accept it, now you know?
"You have the ability to cause trouble, why don't you have the ability to take out 2000 taels of silver and throw it directly in the other party's face? Or else it's as if you were in a fight with me, and it's okay to pounce on her and fight her desperately!

"You still have the face to cry there! Cowardly like that outside, like this at home, if I were you, I'd simply hit the wall to my death!"

Shen Xi sat on the couch, looked at her and scolded.

Shen Xin's head was almost retracted into her neck, how dare she make a sound?
Even if she still has a little confidence, she was scolded by Mrs. Huang as early as last night.

In fact, she didn't specifically counsel outside, the main reason is that Mrs. Qi is not as easy to bully as her family members!

As for the Han family, she can't afford to offend ten of them...

And she actually walked out of the Han family intact, which was enough for her to throw herself into the ground.

Shen Xizhu gave her a practical training, but the good sign is that after this incident, Shen Xin obviously paid attention to her training.

And a certain brat who couldn't help wandering off, after witnessing her show off, calmed down quietly.

At some point in the previously frenzied Shen residence, it also became quieter.

The wind in early summer began to blow people lazy.

After the meal, I lay on the couch and read the book, and my mind was in a trance.

I don't remember what kind of dream I had, I just felt that the figure in front of me was dangling, and when it finally stopped, someone stopped in front of her and covered her with something.

She muttered a few words and opened her eyes, only to see Aunt Pei standing in front of her holding a thin blanket, with tenderness spreading in her eyes.

The sun outside had already set to the west, and the golden light shone obliquely on the verandah of the west wing. It looked dazzling, giving the illusion of a golden wall.

"Girl, are you awake? Wang'er has come back and said he wants to see you."

Just then Ping Xue came in.

Aunt Pei frowned and looked at the creases on her skirt: "What's the matter with this dress?"

Ping Xue quickly stroked his sleeves and stood up.

Shen Xi got up and sat down in front of the dressing table, looking at them through the mirror.

About seven or eight years ago, the Hu family asked her family to find a concubine for Shen Chongxin. The Hu family picked Aunt Pei and sent her to the capital. The Hu family took the house with Shen Chongxin after two years, and later gave birth to Shen Liang. .

Pearl said that Aunt Pei was just an orphan before she entered the Shen family, and it is said that an orphan would not be so self-disciplined and know so many rules.

But she knows a lot.

What's strange is that Mrs. Hu still trusts her so much.

"Wang'er is here."

The well-trained Pingxue stood with her hands folded under the curtain, her voice was just right, and her speaking speed was controlled quite smoothly.

Looking at Aunt Pei, she has already gone out.

Shen Xi walked out of the room and greeted Wang Er under the plum tree.

When the maids received her wink, they all retreated three feet away.

Wang'er said: "The little one has been walking for more than ten days and has found out everything.

"The other families are pretty normal, only Wu's and Ji's have been better in the past two years.

"The reason for the Wu family is that their second master was a Jinshi in high school in the early years, and he was also a good scholar in the exam. The year before last, he was sent to other provinces to become a magistrate. The future was very bright. Even the business of the silk and satin shop at home came up. Someone came to ask for help. To send business.

"In addition, the husband's family that their great aunt married the year before was also quite wealthy, so the past two years have become more and more prosperous.

"Only the Ji family is special.

"The old man of the Ji family works in the Ministry of Rites, and the old man Ji only took one exam, but his luck is not as good as the old man's, and he has never been an official.

"In recent years, I have started to take care of the family business.

"Four or five years ago, he went to Suzhou and Hangzhou to do tea business. He only came back last year. It is said that he made a lot of money. As soon as he came back, he changed to a big house in the south of the city. He is currently preparing to move."

"Tea business?!"

Shen Xi frowned immediately!

What a coincidence, Ji Peng is also running the tea business? !

"That's right!" Wang'er said, "Because the girl told me to inquire carefully, the young one guarded around Ji's house and inquired a lot of people, and finally heard such a mouthful from diners in a teahouse."

Shen Xi stared at the tree trunk in front of him, all his attention was focused on these few words!
Although the Wu family also got up at this time, but after all, their children's official careers are where they are, and their aunts are married well, so even if they are more prosperous than before, it is reasonable!
But this Ji family——

Ji Peng is also in the tea business in the south, and the guy surnamed Wei is also a tea merchant of the Rundan Gang!Ji Peng went to the south for a few years and came back and became a rich man. He bought a new house when he returned to Beijing!

This business is so easy to do, why did he stop like this?

Since the money is easy to earn, shouldn't he earn a few more years before coming back?

She guessed right, this Ji family really has ghosts!
She gritted her teeth and thought of Ji Jinzhi's jade again.

After buying a house, and giving my daughter such a precious jade to show off in the market, if there is no ghost, unless she is alive!

"Are there any other problems?" Out of caution, she asked again.

"It's all the same, neither good nor bad." Wang'er said.

After thinking for a while, he added: "The Huang family didn't seem to be in the same situation as before due to the death of their old lady last year. I heard that the purchase of lamp oil, rice and grain has not been as much as before."

Shen Xi calmed down and became silent.

In fact, it's not just the Ji family that has problems, according to her, the Ji family is also extremely problematic!
I remember that time when I met Mrs. Huang and Mrs. Ji going to the Liu family for a banquet in the hallway, Mrs. Huang revealed this at the time, saying that Sanfang was very poor a few years ago, but it has only become prosperous in recent years.

Where did the money come from?

Although it is said that Sanfang's external caliber is that the business in the shop has gradually flourished due to the change of dynasty.

She would have believed it if there hadn't been the fact that the second room's property had been swallowed up.

The point is that now the second-family property is obviously cheated, and the Ji family is the biggest suspect, so there is nothing suspicious about the sudden wealth of the Ji family?

Furthermore, the Ji family is in charge of the Shen family, she is familiar with all the circumstances of the Shen family, she can help the Ji family to cover at any time!

And once Shen Ruopu has doubts about something, she can also draw his attention most conveniently!

Day and night defense, home thieves are difficult to prevent!
It turns out that the hateful thing about the Ji family is not only because of her greed for power, she even has the audacity to join forces with the Ji family to seize the second room's property!
Now that the target has been identified, it is time to seek evidence.

She pondered for a while and said, "I see. Wait for me and send me to Qionghua Terrace."

After she finished speaking, she turned around, went back to the room to dress and change clothes, and took a moment to turn around with pearls, and let Wang'er drive the carriage and go to Qionghuatai.

Liu Ling promised her to find out the exact origin of Ji Jinzhi's jade. She believed that it would not be a problem for those who deal with these female relatives and jewelry all day long.

And he promised her that he would get news within five days at most, and it was only one day away, so there should be some clues.
