Chapter 145 Shot 3
On the way, Xia Mengning trembled a little. These days are approaching the end of the year, and every day is frighteningly cold. In addition, it is not yet dawn, and the temperature is even lower.
As soon as I went to the front hall, I saw Xia Mengran and Wei arrived in a heavy cloak. Xia Mengning and Wei looked at each other. Xia Mengning smiled, "Good aunt."
Wei was blessed with an honest and obedient look, "My concubine has met the third lady."
Xia Mengning looked at Xia Mengran contemptuously. Seeing that the other party was a little angry, she returned to normal and walked in with a smile.
Entering the door of the front hall, I saw Xia Chuanyuan sitting on the head in a court suit, with a gloomy and scary face.
Everyone saw him and stood aside quietly with their heads down.
There were two large boxes in the middle of the hall. Xia Mengning looked at it and made no sound. She saluted Xia Chuanyuan: "My daughter has seen her father."
Xia Chuanyuan said, "Sit down."
At this time, Xiao Liuzi had come in again and said to Xia Chuanyuan, "Sir, except for Mrs. Mei, who is taking care of the young master and the old lady, the rest of the people have arrived."
Xia Chuanyuan nodded and put the teacup heavily on the table beside him. With a 'bang', everyone was shocked.
"Look, you all, this is three million taels of silver that I'm going to go to the palace today to give to the emperor. I just cashed it out of the bank yesterday. I took it a lot less this morning and was replaced with a stone. You all said, what were you doing last night? Have you seen anyone go out?"
Xia Chuanyuan's words made everyone sweat coldly.
Xia Mengning looked at the box carefully, but said, "Dad, if it is stolen by the people in the house, it must not be transported out of the house in a short time. Now there is still some time before the court. Why don't Dad send someone to the palace first to say that it will be late, and then send someone to seal the exits of the house, and then search each In the courtyard, the stolen silver will definitely be found.
Xia Chuanyuan thought for a moment and said, "Yes, when I was in a hurry, I forgot such a simple method." With that, he looked at Xia Mengning with approval and ordered his servants to do it.
As time passed, the people on the field were quietly waiting for the results of the search. At this moment, a figure rushed in and knelt on the ground and said, "Master, the fourth lady locked herself in the room and didn't let my subordinates go in and search."
Xia Chuanyuan was stunned, You'er?
Then, Xia Chuanyuan stood up and walked ahead.
Xia Mengning also quickly put on her cloak and followed Xia Chuanyuan out.
When I arrived at Xia Mengyou's Qingyou Garden, I saw a group of nursing homes parked in the yard. The door was tightly closed, and the inside was also dark.
Xia Chuanyuan was in his heart. He knew that Ning's death that day had deeply hit his daughter, so he came forward and asked softly, "Youer, I'm my father. Can you open the door?"
There was no sound in the room. Xia Chuanyuan knocked several times in a row and frowned.
Xia Mengning stepped forward a few steps and shook her head at Xia Chuanyuan. Just as she was about to open her mouth, the door in front of the meeting suddenly opened. Xia Mengyou, with a pale face, was wearing a white dress. The green silk was not combed, but softly put on the back of her head.
Before dawn, everyone saw Xia Mengyou's appearance through the moonlight, and they were a little scared.
"Dad is here. Come in." Xia Mengning spit out these words and turned around and went into the room.
Xia Chuanyuan walked in, Xia Mengning also followed him, and all the people behind him followed.
Xia Mengyou lit a candlelight and finally could see the decorations in the room clearly. Originally, the Qingyou Garden was an elegant place, but now it is a piece of ashes and she is not angry at all.
Xia Mengyou sat quietly on the couch. After lighting the candlelight, she gently played with scissors to make the candlelight brighter.
Xia Chuanyuan also saw the furnishings around him. He was a little unbearable. After Ning's death, he also thought about compensating the child, but You'er always locked herself in the room. Over time, he gradually forgot it. Now that he can see it, Xia Chuanyuan is a little sad and says, "You'er..."
There was a green glazed bowl on the small table in front of Xia Mengyou. When she heard Xia Chuanyuan calling her, she raised her head and said, "What's wrong with Dad?"
Xia Chuanyuan sighed and said, "Did you go out last night, in the house..."
Before he finished speaking, he was interrupted by Xia Mengyou, "I did it!"
Xia Chuanyuan was stunned. He saw Xia Mengyou stretching out his hand and turning back and forth on the glass bowl. He smiled and said, "It was I who stole the key to the stew room, and then went to the stewroom to replace the silver with stone."
After saying that, Xia Mengyou raised her head and looked at Xia Chuanyuan with a smile, "Is Dad going to arrest me to prison?"
Unexpectedly, Xia Chuanyuan was stunned for a while, but sighed and said, "Youer, you are dissatisfied because of the matter of the Ning family. Dad knows that now Dad doesn't blame you, but it's just a matter. If you can't hand over the silver two today, I'm afraid the whole prime minister's mansion will be crowned with the 'crime of deceiving the king'..." P>
"Oh?" Xia Mengyou smiled a few times, looked up at Xia Chuanyuan and said, "The crime of bullying the king? So what?"
Such a relaxed tone made Xia Chuanyuan completely angry, "Youer, don't be wayward!"
Xia Mengyou shook her head, raised the glazed bowl and held it in her hand. She smiled and said, "My daughter can't understand what my father said. My daughter only knows that my daughter's biological mother was indirectly killed by you, and my daughter's life was also destroyed by you. Now my father's life, my grandmother's life, and The prime minister's mansion is not as important as her mother's life in the eyes of her daughter!"
With that, Xia Mengyou laughed a few times, but even tears flowed out. "In my father's eyes, I'm afraid my daughter is not as good as grass. If it weren't for today's event, I'm afraid that even if my daughter died in this lonely room, my father would be the last to know..."
Xia Chuanyuan's eyes have turned red, "Shut up..."
"I just want to say it!" Xia Mengyou raised her voice violently, "The third sister has a mother, and the fifth sister also has a mother. Even your father and you have a mother. But has your father ever thought about his daughter? In this huge prime minister's house, only daughter is pitiful, lonely and lonely... Let her daughter see her own mother die in front of her own eyes. Before, is there anything more cruel than this in the world?
Xia Chuanyuan said coldly, "Ning doesn't keep the woman's way and live with the actor. Did I wrong her? As the daughter of the prime minister's house, you can ignore the safety of the whole prime minister's house because of your own selfish desires. What are you? Ah?"
When Xia Mengyou heard the words, she didn't care. She just smiled softly and said, "If Dad doesn't look at her mother's life, then why should I look at the safety of the prime minister's house?"
With that, Xia Mengyou quickly put the bowl in her hand to her mouth and looked up and drank all the ** in the bowl.
"You..." Xia Chuanyuan wanted to reach out to stop it, but Xia Mengyou staggered his hand on the bed, stabilized his body, and a trace of blood flowed from the corners of his mouth, and coughed gently.
With no strength in his hand, the glazed bowl rolled down the couch, fell to the ground, and fell to pieces.
Xia Mengyou looked at Xia Chuanyuan with a smile, turned her head to look at Xia Mengning, and whispered, "Third sister, you are a... blessed... sister... go first... one step..."
Xia Mengning was stunned and stretched out her hands. She saw Xia Mengyou close her eyes, crooked, and fell on the couch.
Xia Mengning almost rushed up quickly, but unfortunately Xia Mengyou was no longer breathing.
"Dad, fourth sister, it's gone..."
There were a few gasps around. Xia Chuanyuan took a fixed look at Xia Mengyou. The blue veins on his forehead beat faintly, but he still turned around and walked out.
When everyone saw that Xia Chuanyuan had left, they also followed him out. Jiu'er came forward and asked worriedly, "Miss, what should we do?"
Xia Mengning looked at Xia Mengyou in her arms and said, "Let Li Yan invite a reliable woman and give her fourth sister... change into new clothes. I'll go to the front hall to have a look."
Jiu'er nodded, put Xia Mengyou on the couch with Xia Mengning, and then went out of the door.
With such a toss, the sky was already slightly bright. Xia Chuanyuan stood in the hall of Yong'an Hall, frowned and stared at the calligraphy and painting on the wall in front of him.
Closing his eyes, as if the scene just now was still in front of him. Xia Chuanyuan squeezed his lips, and the muscles on both sides of his cheeks trembled involuntarily. Finally, a low choking came from his throat.
Xia Mengning went to the front hall and knew that Xia Chuanyuan had returned to Yong'an Hall and came to Yong'an Hall in a hurry. Xia Meng stood still outside the door and looked at Xia Chuanyuan standing on his back. His back was lonely and sad.
"Dad..."
Xia Mengning called softly and stepped forward, side by side with Xia Chuanyuan.
Xia Chuanyuan did not move his eyes, but whispered, "Ning'er, Dad is too much. Even if Ning's guilt is unforgivable, You'er is my daughter. How can I... How can I..."
Xia Mengning closed her eyes and said, "The deceased is gone. The fourth sister has gone. Dad should not be too sad."
Xia Chuanyuan didn't say anything. The two stood in silence for a while, and then heard Xiao Liuzi come in and said, "Sir, it's already time."
Xia Chuanyuan was suddenly shocked, so he adjusted his mind and turned around, with a calm look on his face.
Xia Mengning also turned around and heard Xia Chuanyuan say, "Find someone to search. Even if you search the fourth lady's garden, you still have to find the silver."
Little Six was about to go down. Xia Mengning hurriedly said, "No, my daughter knows where the fourth sister will hide the silver."
Everyone came to the garden. Xia Mengning took a few steps forward. This was the west side of the garden. It was originally a small pavilion. A few years ago, because Ning was favored, Xia Chuanyuan ordered people to build a small stage here through the small pavilion. Ning likes to sing, and occasionally she would be willing to change into costumes and sing here.
Xia Chuanyuan stood aside with his hands behind his back. When his eyes touched the stage, he was also slightly stunned.
At this moment, several nurses came out with a big cloth bag and put it in front of Xia Chuanyuan and said, "Sir, I have found the silver."
With that, he went forward to untie the cloth bag and exposed the silver ingots with white flowers inside.
Xia Chuanyuan sighed and said, "Take it away and let me go to the palace quickly."
