Jin Tingjiao

Chapter 123
Shen Xi turned his head and glanced at him, then sneered.

She never said that she is a gentleman who keeps her word, she is just a woman who has revenge!

How dare she conspire with the Ji family to take over the second family's property, don't think she will let anyone go!

Soon at the door of the main room, the maid who was on duty at night heard the movement and rushed out to greet her. Seeing clearly that it was Shen Xi, she quickly knelt down and bowed down: "Miss, what's the matter so late?"

"Go and report to the old man. There is a thief in the mansion. I caught him just now. Ask him to come out and investigate!"

The servant girl saw that not only the servant girl but also Shen Xin followed her, as well as the three men who couldn't see their faces clearly, and there were two big copper boxes, and then looked at the coldness on Shen Xi's face. Have you seen her battle?

How could he dare to be negligent, and he quickly went inside to report.

In recent years, Shen Ruopu has mostly slept alone, and the two concubines just serve as daily attendants.

He was sleeping deeply here, when suddenly he was awakened by a quick and soft call: "Old master! The second girl is outside, she said she caught a thief just now, and now the stolen goods have been stolen, please come out and take charge!"

thief?He was startled awake by these two words, and quickly put on his clothes: "How is sister Xi? Are you hurt?!"

Seeing him opening his mouth, the servant girl was concerned about Shen Xi, she couldn't help being slightly stunned, and quickly said: "The second girl is neat and tidy, so she should be fine!"

Only then did Shen Ruopu feel relieved, hurriedly put on his outer robe, and walked to the front hall with his shoes on.

The front hall was already brightly lit, Shen Xi and Chen Xin were standing there one after the other, while three people were kneeling on the floor of the room tied up on the ground, and there were two common big copper boxes next to them!
"What's going on here?" He hurried to the hall, gasping for breath and looking at them.

Shen Xi took two steps forward: "Old man, just now Wang'er and his men caught a thief in Xijiaomen Hutong, along with these two boxes of silver, and my granddaughter took them back for interrogation, and then I didn't expect to find a big hole." !

"Here is the confession, please read it to the old man."

She presented the stack of confessions, and Shen Ruopu quickly grabbed it over. Seeing this, his face instantly turned pale!
"Jipeng!"

He suddenly looked up at the people underground: "You raise your head!"

Ji Peng raised his head tremblingly, and Shen Ruopu gritted his teeth tightly!When he continued to read the confession, his face was completely blue!

"Is this confession stated by you yourself? The fingerprints on it are also yours?"

The Ji family was not as powerful as the Shen family, and Ji Peng was just a son, and had never been an official in the court. He was beaten and frightened by Shen Xi all night, and his heart was already broken when he arrived here.

Shen Ruopu asked again, where is the strength to resist?Immediately lay down on the ground and cried, "My lord, spare me!"

Shen Ruopu gritted his teeth and beat the case: "You are such a brave dog!"

"Sir, spare your life!"

Ji Peng cried and fell on the ground, he didn't know what to say other than begging for mercy!
"Go and drag Mrs. Ji here!" Shen Ruopu kicked Ji Peng and roared.

As soon as the word "drag" was uttered, the people below trembled immediately, even those who used to be Ji's eyeliner on weekdays immediately retracted their necks into their collars, and did not dare to show their heads again.

The Xiexiangyuan has long been quiet, and Ji's heart has been relieved since Ji Peng was sent away.

But Shen Yan still didn't fall asleep.

If Shen Xi hadn't been involved in this matter, she wouldn't be worried at all, but since she had doubts about Ji Jinzhi's love before, she couldn't take it lightly.

Now that Shen Xi is strong, she is strong. The great thing is that you never know where her methods are, so you can't even guess what she will do.

For example, she thought that she had someone intentionally exposed her flaws to the third room before, so she would be on guard against them in the future, but when she went to Lixiangyuan to find out the truth, she was playing chess with Chen Xin!

At a time like this, how could she still be interested in playing chess?

She was puzzled.

Could it be that it was really just a temptation?
If only that was the case.

Just in case it wasn't - yes!
She suddenly turned over and sat up, how could she be sure that it was Shen Xi and Chen Xin who played chess in the room of Lixiangyuan earlier? !Just because their maids are joking under the veranda? !Is it preconceived based on Madam Liu's words?

Her back felt cold, and she suddenly broke out in a cold sweat!
"Girl! Something happened!"

While she was in a daze, the servant girl Sixi suddenly opened the door and came in, almost trotting to her bedside: "It turns out that Uncle Master didn't go back to Ji's Mansion just now!

"I don't know why the second girl has caught both the man and the silver, and now he is kneeling in the Wanrong Hall, and the old man is asking someone to invite his wife over immediately!"

Shen Yan's heart sank suddenly!
really!She still misjudged Shen Xi, it wasn't her who played chess in Lixiangyuan!
"How long has it been?!" she asked.

"The maidservant is here! It's the lady who sent someone to pass the message before she left!"

After a few crossings, we should have arrived at Wanrong Hall by now.

She sat down with frowned eyebrows, and the expression of coquettishness that was usually fixed on her face turned into awe.

Suddenly, there was indifference and sternness in her eyes again, as if she had made up her mind, she stood up abruptly, put on some clothes, and walked out the door quickly!
When they arrived in the main courtyard, the maids were already in a panic, and they seemed to have a backbone when they saw her coming, and they gathered around to ask for advice!

She went straight into Ji's room, and asked Ziwei, "Where is the box where mother usually hides money and jewelry? Take it out for me!"

Ziwei only felt that her expression was a little strange, shouldn't she immediately go to Wanrongtang to help Ji's at this time?How come here instead...

"What are you waiting for?! Waiting for the old man to search for evidence?! Leave everything to me!"

Shen Yan sternly shouted, Ziwei didn't dare to neglect any longer, she immediately turned into the room and brought out two big copper boxes.

"Almost all of my wife's jewelry and heads are here, and there are seven or eight hundred taels of silver bills, and a dozen pieces of gold! The hundreds of taels of money that I plan to distribute in a few days are all here!"

Shen Yan took it over and opened it, and found two boxes full of jewellery, with gold bars and silver notes in the interlayer, and after flipping through them frantically, she said again: "What about the land deed for the silk and satin shop?!"

Ziwei was a little hesitant, but she couldn't help her stare, so she immediately went into the room and took it out again.

Shen Yan took it to look at it, and then confessed to Sixi and Qiqiao: "Take it back!"

After speaking, he hurried out of the threshold and turned back to his courtyard.

Ziwei always felt a little flustered in her heart, wondering if it was appropriate to give her these things, but thinking that she and Ji are biological mother and daughter, she endured it.

Shen Yan returned to the room, and immediately told the maids: "Get out!"

Sixi and Qiqiao hurried out the door.

Here she bolted the door, then gritted her teeth and pushed the table beside the bed, and then moved the Persian blanket on the floor.
