Chapter 236 Shameless

"Oh, brother and sister-in-law, the things have been stolen a long time ago, how can we still find them. You guys, it's better not to waste so much effort. Instead of wasting time, you should think of more ways to buy some dowry for Sister Xin."

Listening to her sister-in-law's words, Ms. Jiang's face turned ugly.

She was really worried that those things were gone.

After all, both the married couple spend money lavishly.

Ling Chu saw Jiang's worry and couldn't help but comfort her, "Don't worry, everything is still there."

Jiang's eyes lit up instantly.

Yao was stunned for a moment, then curled his lips disdainfully.

They thought to themselves that even if they guessed that those things were still there, they wouldn't be able to find them anyway.

Mother Cao's face was cold and wrinkled, and she glanced suspiciously up and down at Ling Chu.

Ling Chu ignored them, but took out the copper coin turtle shell and pretended to make a fortune.

"Miss Ling, have you found it?" Mrs. Jiang couldn't wait to ask.

Although Cao Hongxin said nothing, his eyes were full of hope.

Ling Chu nodded, put away the coins and turtle shell, and walked away.

When Mother Cao saw Ling Chu walking into the inner house without saying anything, she frowned and shouted angrily at her, "Do you know the rules? How can you, an outsider, just break in without the master's consent?" !”

Cao Hongxin was afraid that his mother would offend Ling Chu, "Mom, I invited Miss Ling. She can go wherever she wants."

Ling Chu ignored Mother Cao's obstruction and walked quickly forward following the system's guidance.

Ms. Jiang didn't want to pay attention to her mother-in-law, so she turned around and caught up with Ling Chu.

Although Yao didn't believe they could find anything, he hesitated for a while and followed them.

Cao Hongxin gave his mother a few words of advice, then turned and left.

Seeing that everyone was gone, Cao's mother could only look dark, hold the maid's hand and follow them in a hurry.

Ling Chu followed the system's guidance and didn't stop until he reached the west wing.

"Miss Ling, does the hexagram indicate that something is inside?" Ms. Jiang looked at the locked door in front of her, with unbearable anger in her eyes.

Ling Chu nodded, "That's right."

Yao, who hurriedly followed, did not expect that Ling Chu would go straight to the courtyard where their second room lived.

"Oh, brother, where did you invite this liar? How could Sister Xin's things be in my yard? Isn't this nonsense?"

Cao Hongxin scolded with a dark face, "Brother and sister, what are you talking about? Miss Ling is not a liar."

Mrs. Jiang held back her anger and said, "Sister-in-law, please open the lock and see if the things are inside. You will know after you go in and take a look."

Mrs. Yao did not open the lock, but instead said to Cao's mother with an aggrieved look, "Mom, sister-in-law means that our second room has stolen my niece's things. If this spreads out, how can my husband have the nerve to go out to meet people?"

Cao's mother always felt sorry for her youngest son, and her expression dropped when she heard this. "Xin'er, you are still the commander of the Five Cities Army and Horses Division, and you are so confused! How could the things stolen by the thief be in your second brother's possessions?" In the yard..."

Seeing Cao's mother scolding her happily, Ling Chu said nothing and took out a small hammer and hit the big lock lightly.

Bang!

Before Mother Cao could finish her words, she was interrupted by the sound of metal hitting.

They were still in shock and confusion, but Ling Chu calmly took back the hammer, reached out and pushed the door, and then walked in.

Mrs. Jiang immediately came to her senses and followed quickly.

Later, Yao was so anxious that he jumped.

He ran over in a few steps and wanted to stop him, but Ling Chu skillfully avoided him.

Amid the commotion, a man in bluestone straight trousers walked out of the room sleepily. When he saw the people in the courtyard, he frowned dissatisfied, "What are you making so much noise about? It's making people uncomfortable."

When Yao saw him, she immediately said in a strange tone, "Husband, you don't know, right? My eldest brother hired someone to find Sister Xin's betrothal gift, saying that it is in our yard."

When Cao Hongdeng heard his wife's words, his face was full of anger, "Brother, what do you mean, are you suspecting that I stole my niece's things?"

Before Cao Hongxin could say anything, Cao's mother took the first step and scolded her, "What are you stealing? You can't talk like that in a family." Then she turned to her eldest son and said, "Xin'er, if you are looking for something, mother won't stop you. It's just something." Not here with your second brother..."

Ling Chu couldn't bear to hear this and went straight to Yao's bedroom.

Yao became anxious immediately and rushed over to stop her. Cao Hongden was even more furious and rushed over and reached out to grab Ling Chu's arm.

Seeing her skin like snow, a colored light flashed in her eyes.

Ling Chu walked in without even looking back, but summoned the shovel and slapped it directly towards Cao Hongdeng's dirty hand.

After a cry of pain, Cao Hongdeng retracted his hand.

The shovel didn't pursue him anymore, but he stopped the second wife and her husband.

Seeing Ling Chu enter the bedroom, Ms. Jiang glanced coldly at Mr. and Mrs. Cao Hongdeng, then turned and walked in.

"Mother..." Cao Hongdeng had no choice but to wink at Cao's mother.

Cao's mother immediately followed.

In the bedroom, Ling Chu was asking Cao Hongxin, "Master Cao, do you mind if I smash the wall?"

Aren't you looking for a betrothal gift? Why are you suddenly breaking down the wall?

Cao Hongxin was confused and didn't know what Ling Chu meant by what he said.

"What kind of wall were you smashing? Can you afford to pay for it?" Mother Cao glared at Ling Chu fiercely and wanted to reach out and push her out.

Mrs. Jiang had had enough of her mother-in-law's favoritism, and strode in front of Ling Chu, "Miss Ling, feel free to smash it. If it's damaged, I'll pay for it."

Ling Chu glanced at Cao Hongxin and saw that he had no objection.

With a wave of his hand, the small hammer immediately hit the wall next to the bed.

After the loud noise, a large piece of the wall collapsed, revealing a black box.

Cao's mother was furious and was about to snatch it, but Ling Chu got it first.

The box was opened, shining with golden light.

Jiang recognized it as the headdress of her daughter's betrothal gift at a glance, "Mother, didn't you say that the second brother didn't steal Xin Jie'er's things? Then tell me, what is this?"

Cao's mother dodged her eyes for a moment, and soon she put her hands on her waist and shouted angrily, "What are you stealing? This is what I gave to the second son to keep. A daughter who is married is like water spilled out. Xin Jie'er is a member of the Wu family after she gets married. I can't let you give all the family property to the Wu family.

This is what I left for Zhuang Ge'er, you can't take it away."

Jiang was so angry at her mother-in-law's nonsense. It was obviously the second room who stole her daughter's things, but she even said it was for her son. It was really shameless.

Bang!

Ling Chu ignored the quarrel between the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law of the Cao family, and squatted in front of the bunk bed with a small hammer, smashing the wooden board under the bed.

When Cao's mother heard the noise, she turned around and saw this scene, and she was so angry that she grabbed the teacup next to her and was about to throw it at Ling Chu.

Cao Hongxin was startled and quickly stepped forward to stop her mother.

Outside, Cao Hongdeng and his wife heard the noise in the house and were very anxious, but they could not get rid of the shovel.

Seeing that her mother-in-law was stopped by her husband, Jiang hurriedly called a few maids and moved Yao's bed away.

Ling Chu smashed a large wooden box from under the bed.

The things inside were exactly the lost betrothal gifts.

Ling Chu took out a small box from the big box and opened it. Inside were several crumpled IOUs for money.

Eyebrow pencils are very popular recently. I took a look at the price and introduction out of curiosity today.

Then I took a look at the pitiful manuscript fee.

The result is——

No more words, I'll just work hard on typing...
