Qin Jingchang screamed "Ah!" and all the hair on his body stood up. He kicked out without thinking.

The man groaned, and it sounded familiar.

Qin Jingchang quickly bent down and got close to the figure. After a closer look, he found that it was his brother-in-law Liu Sicheng?

Liu Sicheng covered his stomach and said with a bitter face: "Brother-in-law, it's me."

Qin Jingchang asked curiously: "Brother? Why are you here so late?"

A timid figure slowly emerged from behind the hitching post and said, "Your elder brother came with me."

Qin Jingchang turned around when he heard the voice and asked, "Sister-in-law?"

Yang gave a dry laugh and winked at Liu Sicheng.

Liu Sicheng smiled and said, "Brother-in-law, your sister-in-law and I came here to discuss something with you."

Qin Jingchang subconsciously felt that what Liu Sicheng was talking about was related to the one thousand taels of silver.

Although it is late now, there are still some late-returning vendors passing by on the street occasionally.

He shook his sleeves and said, "Don't stand outside, come in and talk."

Yang said quickly, "No need, just a few words, and then we'll leave."

Liu Sicheng also nodded.

Yang said with full of energy, "My eldest sister went back yesterday and asked for the one thousand taels of silver you gave her. Brother-in-law, we didn't ask you for that one thousand taels of silver. You gave it to me on your own initiative."

Qin Jingchang was so angry that his heart was beating fast. He turned around and walked into the mansion, "Let's talk about this inside."

Just as Liu Sicheng was about to walk in, Yang pulled him back forcefully.

Yang said even louder, "Baocai has already done what he promised you. The silver is ours. Brother-in-law, Erni has become insane and is talking nonsense. She said she wants the bracelet but not the silver. This matter cannot be counted."

Someone stopped not far away.

Qin Jingchang was furious and resentful. He quickly called Qi Wu over and ordered, "Bring your uncle and his wife into the mansion to talk."

Qi Wu raised his hand and waved, and immediately four or five servants came running over.

Just as the servant reached out to help Yang, Yang slipped down and sat on the ground, shouting, "Brother-in-law, Er Ni'er is still sick and needs money to buy medicine. We won't go in. Brother-in-law, return the 1,000 taels of silver to us and we'll leave right away."

Qin Jingchang wished he could kick the couple to death.

He said angrily, "Since you're here, you have to eat before you leave, right?"

Then he ordered Qi Wu, "Go, call the wife out."

Yang was most frightened of Liu Yinghua. Upon hearing this, she quickly stood up, patted the dirt off her butt, and walked past the servant inside. "Then have dinner first, then leave."

Qin Jingchang followed the couple, shaking with anger.

From childhood to adulthood, he had never suffered such humiliation.

If something is given away, will he take it back unless it is urgently needed?

I thought they were siblings, and I was just using it temporarily, not that I would return it to them.

Besides, Liu Yinghua helped them a lot on weekdays.

He didn't expect that this couple would embarrass him like this!

After several people entered the mansion, Liu Yinghua was about to speak when Qin Jingchang gave her a fierce look, and her heart suddenly skipped a beat.

Yang entered the room, sat down and started to complain, "Oh, I see he is really crazy, holding a bracelet and saying it was given by the gods. There are many treasures in it, and there is also a magical spring that can cure diseases and save lives."

"First she bit her finger, then she banged her head against the table and the wall. She also said her husband and children were waiting for her."

Yang slapped her thigh as she spoke, "You are such a good girl, tell me, how come you became so crazy after being sick?"

He does not mean that.

Liu Yinghua was completely confused.

Qin Jingchang's heart was moved: If there really is such a treasure that can accommodate everything in the world, then the whereabouts of those jewelry and furniture that disappeared inexplicably can be explained!

But, does such a wonderful thing really exist in this world?

He had also read many books about the supernatural, which contained all kinds of strange people and events, but he had never believed them.

Qin Jingchang thought for a moment and asked, "Is that bracelet Shu'er's?"

Liu Yinghua nodded quickly and said, "Yes. That day, I saw that Wei Ran really liked it, so I agreed to let her wear it for a few days."

Qin Jingchang asked again, "Have you seen Shu'er wearing it before?"

"That damn girl likes it very much. I used to see her wearing it often. But after the day when my eldest brother and his wife's coffins entered the mansion, I have never seen her wearing it again."

Liu Yinghua thought as she answered, "Before she left the house, I saw that she was reluctant to let go of the bracelet. I was afraid that it would delay her departure, so I urged her to put it away. I saw her put the bracelet in the jewelry box."

Qin Jingchang thought to himself: The day before the dead girl left the house, all the things in the house were still there.

Just one night later, they were all gone.

In other words, those things were put into the bracelet by that dead girl the night before she left the house.

A bracelet can hold everything except itself.

That damn girl probably didn't expect that before leaving the house, Liu Yinghua would change her clothes from head to toe.

This way, she had nowhere to hide the bracelet even if she wanted to.

It would be inappropriate to wear such a brightly colored bracelet to a temple to pray for deceased parents.

She could only stay.

If the bracelet is really a rare item, then since that dead girl dared to leave it in the mansion, she must have been sure that no one else could get a glimpse of the secret inside.

Therefore, the treasure that disappeared from the East Mansion must be in that bracelet.

Otherwise, it would be impossible to explain why so many treasures disappeared silently overnight!

Qin Jingchang was shaking with excitement, but he tried his best to straighten the corners of his lips. He looked eerie and twisted.

Yang was still chattering, hoping that Qin Jingchang would not believe the words of a madman and quickly return the one thousand taels of silver to her.

Qin Jingchang frowned and shouted angrily, "Enough! Stop talking!"

Yang suddenly shut her mouth.

To be honest, she was a little afraid of her brother-in-law. She always felt that his eyes were gloomy and cold, and even when he smiled, they were like knives.

If it wasn't for the one thousand taels of silver, she wouldn't have the guts to make a scene in the street.

Qin Jingchang asked Liu Yinghua, "How much silver do we have left in our house?"

Liu Yinghua didn't understand what he meant and hesitated without answering.

Qin Jingchang said impatiently: "Is it enough for one thousand taels?"

Liu Yinghua had no choice but to reply, "I pawned some jewelry today and still have 1,500 taels."

Qin Jingchang nodded and said to Yang: "That bracelet is a relic left by my elder brother and his wife to my niece. No matter how much Wei Ran likes it, we can't just give away such an important thing. Tomorrow, you take the bracelet and come to the mansion to get the silver."

Just as Liu Yinghua was about to open her mouth, Qin Jingchang stopped her with a look.

When Yang heard this, she was overjoyed and agreed immediately.
