Hope for luck

Chapter 167
The words of Gao Pan's gaining power instantly made Mrs. Ren furious, so that she couldn't choose what to say. After saying that Gao Pan was a lowly thing, Mrs. Ren realized that she had said something wrong.

No matter how unbearable Gao Pan is, he is also the grandson of Mrs. Gao. Although he is the grandson of a concubine, he is also a descendant of the Gao family. In her mouth, he becomes a lowly thing, and it cannot be justified!
"Sister-in-law, what you said is wrong, Brother Pan..."

After a while, Mrs. Du, the second roommate who had discussed this matter with Gao Pan before, wanted to say a few words for Gao Pan, so as to stab Mrs. Ren.

However, before the words finished, he was interrupted by Mrs. Gao, only to hear Mrs. Gao slapped the table again, probably out of anger this time, the teacups on the table were knocked down by the force, and the teacups rolled down on the ground.

The crisp sound of porcelain smashing reached everyone's ears in an instant, and what Madam Du was about to say came to an abrupt end in an instant, and she fell into dead silence again.

"Today, the old man is here. The old man has the final say on how to decide the family affairs. If you have any objections, just mention it. The old man wants to see how this family is managed!"

He only listened to Mrs. Gao's words and said in a deep voice.

After saying this, Mrs. Ren had no choice but to bow her head in silence. The fingers holding the handkerchief were trembling slightly, which showed how restless her heart was at this moment!
However, Gao Pan felt a chill in his heart. What the old man Gao said seemed to be annoyed at Mrs. Ren's unreasonable management of the family.

As Mrs. Ren said just now, Mrs. Gao can definitely reprimand him. After all, Gao Pan is also his own grandson.

But Mrs. Gao didn't do that. Therefore, Mrs. Gao's words were actually covering up for Mrs. Ren, and he still had his heart for the eldest house.

However, even so, it was within Gao Pan's expectation. From the first day back to Beijing, when he didn't even see Mrs. Gao, Gao Pan understood that in the eyes of Mrs. Gao, there was a difference between the concubine and the concubine!

Just like that, everyone was silent, and no one even dared to deal with the broken teacup until Gao Nan was tied up.

"Madam, save me...Madam, I am wronged...It must be the fifth young master who has heard some slander. The villain has always been loyal to his wife and master, and has never had a second heart!"

As soon as Gao Nan came in, he began to plead with Mrs. Ren, which made Mrs. Gao frowned, and basically concluded in his heart that Gao Nan's crimes were not fake.

"Uncle Nan, are you still not telling the truth? When I was in Dantang County, Dongshan, I could see clearly that you had several silver bills of five hundred taels in your hand, but when you returned to the capital, I didn't see any of them. You hand it in, and, do you want to ask the treasurer of Datong Bank to confront it?"

Gao Pan stood up and said sarcastically.

After Gao Nan heard this, he looked at Gao Pan with horror on his face, unable to say a word.

"The concubine raised by Xingrenfang is named Cuihong. I'm right. I have to take care of her every day. Is this because I'm afraid your daughter-in-law will find out, or are you acting guilty? You are a little steward. , where did you get so much silver?"

Gao Pan didn't intend to let him go, and continued.

"I...I...I, that's..."

Gao Nan hesitated and couldn't explain the reason, his face was blushing, and his face was full of grievances, as if these were not his actions.

"Grandfather, it seems that there is no need to interrogate him. If he looks like this, he admits it!"

Seeing this, Gao Pan snorted coldly, bowed and said to Mrs. Gao.

"Admit what?!"

At this moment, there was a sudden shout from outside, and then everyone watched Gao Qiyuan, who was dressed in an official uniform, walk in.

After saluting respectfully to Mrs. Gao, he looked at Gao Pan with an angry face, and said condescendingly:

"Gao Pan, it seems that after going out to be a county magistrate, he not only has a flexible mind, but also knows how to inquire about other people's affairs? Do you think Gao Nan is so bold to do these things, and I personally ordered him to do these things? !"

When Gao Pan saw Gao Qiyuan coming in, his heart skipped a beat, and his originally calm heart began to become a little uneasy, but he couldn't tell where this illusion came from.

For today's 'big scene', Gao Pan made a lot of calculations last night, and he thought about many unexpected results, and he didn't think that Gao Qiyuan's appearance would make all his previous efforts go to waste.

"Uncle is serious. My nephew did this just to find out the moths in the Gao family and rectify the family law!"

Unable to bear the uneasiness in his heart, Gao Pan replied calmly.

"Okay, very good, then, let me tell you now, everything Gao Nan did was ordered by my master, what are you going to do?"

Gao Qiyuan looked at Gao Pan coldly, and said with disdain.

After Gao Pan heard this, he was a little horrified in his heart. Gao Qiyuan actually admitted that Gao Nan did what he ordered. If so, Gao Nan was really wronged?

Seeing that Gao Pan was speechless in a daze, Gao Qiyuan snorted softly, and then respectfully said to Mrs. Gao:
"Father, this matter is my son's fault. I didn't tell my wife, so Gao Pan felt that it was Gao Nan's fault! My son is willing to accept father's punishment!"

After hearing this, Mrs. Gao frowned, took a stern look at Gao Qiyuan, then raised his hand, pointed at Ding Lao who was still kneeling on the ground, and said:

"What about Butler Ding? How can I explain it!"

When Gao Qiyuan heard this, he had nothing to say, and at this moment, the servants who were sent to investigate the situation in the yards of the housekeepers also came back to report.

It is the same as what Gao Pan said before, and it is even more surprising than what Gao Pan said.

For example, in Ding Lao's family's house, it can be said that there are all kinds of expensive furnishings, which cannot be afforded by ordinary people.

For another example, in the families of several male stewards, there are seven or eight concubines, which is actually more than the number of concubines in Gao's parents' house.

In other words, what Gao Pan accused before was all true, and there was no exaggeration.

After hearing this, Mrs. Gao's face was full of anger, and he looked a little ferocious. He jumped up, stood up, and bowed towards the center of Baishui Hall, then turned around and pointed at Ding. Lau said:
"Drag this person, as well as all the managers, out and beat them until they tell the truth. The Gao family actually raises such moths and white-eyed wolves. I don't know how many people will be laughed at!"

At the end, everyone felt a bit of chill and horror, and Mrs. Gao actually finished speaking through gritted teeth.

At this moment, Gao Pan was suddenly stunned again, because when the old man Gao turned around and said that he was about to punish a group of selfish housekeepers, Gao Pan saw that the luck value of the old man Gao dropped to seven in an instant!

From the previous nine to seven, Gao Pan didn't understand what this change meant, but just judging from the shrinking number, it showed that Mrs. Gao's luck was declining.

And he just ordered these servants to be punished. Why did the Luck drop so badly?Could it be that the Gao family is in great trouble?
