The Reborn Wife is Farming

Xia Tong returned home and saw Fan Siwen taking Fan Zixiao's homework exam as if nothing had happened, she suddenly felt chilled, gave their father and son a cold look, turned around and went back to the house.

Fan Siwen was a little uncomfortable, he had been waiting for Xia Tong to make trouble with him, and was even prepared to be beaten, but seeing her so calm, he was inexplicably uneasy.

After thinking about it, Fan Siwen let Fan Zixiao leave and went to find Xia Tong by himself.

But the main courtyard has been closed, and the gatekeeper said to him through a door: "Master, Madam said she is not feeling well, why don't you go to Aunt Liu's to rest tonight."

Fan Siwen's face was blue and red, this was the first time Xia Tong pushed him outside, he was so angry that he walked away, but he still didn't go to Aunt Liu's place, but went to the study.

Fan Siwen thought for a long time, and finally found the butler, and said: "As soon as the gate of the city opens tomorrow, you will ask people to go out to chase the young master. Most of them will go to the barracks to find the two uncles of the Zhu family, or they will run after the big cousin. And go, you split into two ways to chase."

Fan Siwen felt that he had explained to Xia Tong, so he pulled the quilt over and went to sleep.

However, Xia Tong didn't close her eyes all night. As soon as the curfew ended, she asked people to wait at the gate of the city, and asked them to chase in two ways.

But Fan Zijin was not a fool either, they had already delayed a day yesterday, and their schedule was slow, so they would definitely be caught up, so he decisively decided to take the trail.

As a result, they not only missed the two groups of people who came to chase them, but also escaped the Wu family's pursuit.

The two people who were on the road didn't know how lucky they were. Wu Shi didn't take the matter of Qi Haoran running away from home to heart at first.

Although Qi Xiuyuan's marriage with the Wu family will be postponed, she and Qi Feng are equally confident that Qi Haoran will not be able to bear the hardships outside and come back, and the wedding banquet will be held at that time.

She escaped through hardships, knowing how difficult it is to be outside, and also knowing that two and a half teenagers can hardly live comfortably if they don't have enough money, but who from a young age can bear that kind of hardship?

Beidi is too far away from the capital, and there are refugees and robbers on the road, Qi Haoran will always come home one day when he can't stand it.

Wu is very confident.

So I didn't express any opinion on this matter, how should I live my life or how to live it.

The reason why she insisted on putting them to death was that the store sent a new quarter's income, and she locked the retained silver in the box as usual.

But she found that her key could not open the lock!

Wu tried several times, frowned tightly, thinking that the lock or the key was broken, so she asked someone to pick the lock, planning to change the lock.

This closet is for storing some fabrics and infrequently used clothes, and it is rare to open it several times a year, and every time she opens it is when she wants to withdraw money or deposit money, the key to the closet is taken by herself, and the money depositor Even her maidservant didn't know the place.

So one can imagine how shocked and angry Wu Shi was when he saw the empty box.

That was more than 50,000 taels, the wealth she had amassed for twelve years!

That's right, Qi Haoran thought it was Qi's money, but in fact it was Wu's private money.

Wu Shi was a noble concubine when Qi Fengna came in. Her dowry was only two boxes, which contained some clothes and cloth, and there was not even a hundred taels of silver at the bottom of the box.

At that time, the Wu family fled south with the imperial court, and lost a lot of property on the way, and it would cost a lot to re-establish the family business in the capital where every inch of land was expensive.

It can be said that the Wu family did not have much dowry when she married into the Qi family, but since Zhu Wan's death, the Wu family has controlled the Qi family. Passing through her hands, withholding a little each time, and embezzling some of the public money, she worked hard for twelve years to save more than 50,000 taels.

But the money disappeared under her nose, and Mrs. Wu fainted from anger.

The girl outside heard the movement and yelled several times, pushed the door and came in and saw Mrs. Wu fainted on the ground, and panicked, those who asked for a doctor asked for a doctor, and those who called for a master called for a master.

As soon as Wu Shi woke up, she saw Qi Feng, and she couldn't help but shed tears because of her grievances.

Qi Feng asked distressedly: "What's wrong with you? The doctor said you were extremely angry. Who made you angry?"

Wu Shi opened his mouth, unable to speak at all.

Qi Feng knew all the things she brought into the house back then, and although the Wu family has developed a lot in recent years, and some children have become officials, it is impossible to give her so much money. If you tell Qi Feng that she lost so much money, he Without even thinking about it, she understood that she was greedy for the public's money.

She could only wipe away her tears and make an excuse: "I heard some gossip outside, saying that my stepmother abused my stepson, which forced Haoran to run away from home. "

Qi Feng frowned, held her hand tightly and said, "Who is so talkative?"

"It's all discussed in private by wives who don't know what's going on outside. Unfortunately, I overheard it."

"You don't associate with such people in the future. I know that you never care about their brothers' affairs in order to avoid suspicion. I just know that you are good in my heart."

Wu Shi nodded slowly, leaning on his shoulder and said: "I know, but hearing other people talking like that makes me feel uneasy."

Qi Feng patted her on the shoulder reassuringly, he naturally knew about the rumors outside, he was talked about in private, let alone Wu?

Wu shirked the matter, but she had to get back the lost money. She knew that this matter could not be investigated with a big fanfare, so she called the wet nurse and her personal maid to visit unannounced.

But after checking for most of the day, there is no news at all.

Nanny Wu whispered to Mrs. Wu: "Ma'am, it's impossible for girls to steal so much money, and they don't have the guts. The only one in this family who dares to do such a thing is the only one."

Wu's complexion changed slightly, "But he hasn't even been in my yard, let alone near my house, how did he steal it?"

Mother Wu pondered and said: "After all, Mrs. Zhu has been the housekeeper for many years, and there are always some hidden tricks left behind. Maybe they were ordered to do it. Ma'am, they expected you to dare not speak up."

Wu gritted her teeth, pulled at her handkerchief and said, "Nurse, take someone to search his yard and see if you find anything."

Nanny Wu agreed, and searched under the pretext that she wanted to tidy up the room for the Fourth Young Master. Not to mention, she found a lock under the bed that was pinched and deformed by Qi Haoran, and there was a wardrobe missing a lock in Qi Haoran's room.

Wu looked at the two locks in front of her, her face turned blue and red, and she said in a hoarse voice after a while: "Go and get the key to the wardrobe in the Fourth Young Master's room."

Because Qi Haoran didn't live in Qi's mansion for a long time, he had very few things in the mansion. Therefore, the servants in charge of all kinds of keys in his house had backups, so they didn't have to ask for the keys when he ordered them to get something. can get it.

Wu's power overwhelmed people, and there were only a few clothes in the closet, so Qi Haoran's servants hesitated for a moment before handing over the key.

Mrs. Wu used that key to unlock the lock of her closet. What else is there that I don't understand?

Qi Haoran stole her money and replaced the lock with his.

Wu Shi gritted her teeth with hatred, and said in a cold tone: "Since that's the case, don't blame me for being cruel!"
