Chapter 88 Gold inlaid jade pendant
"Come here early in the morning," replied the clerk, "in the back room."

Zhang Li understood, and continued to the clerk, "I'm not in Beijing these few days, so you can talk to Miss Wu if you have anything to say."

Although the folks didn't understand why Mr. Zhang brought the fifth girl from the Qi family to the cloth village, they still obeyed Mr. Zhang's words [-].

After Zhang Li explained to the guys, he went to the inner room to talk to Shen Tu.

Shen Tu asked, "Where is Mr. Zhang going?"

Zhang Li didn't answer, but said, "The fifth girl has done very well these few times."

Zhang Li didn't want to say anything, and Shen Cuzi didn't ask aggressively.

"I hope Mr. Zhang will come back earlier." These words were indeed Shen Tu's sincere words.

Xiao Shilian gave her something today, a jade pendant inlaid with gold.

Shen Tu looked at the gold inlaid jade pendant lying in her palm, and asked him, "Isn't this what you wear all the time?"

Xiao Shilian nodded, "Here."

She still doesn't understand, "Why give it to me?"

Xiao Shilian laughed, "A Ye is not smart today."

Said she was not smart, Shen Tu pouted, feeling unhappy.

Xiao Shilian had no choice but to coax her again, "If you don't give it to anyone, we A Yi are the smartest, and no woman in Daqi can match our A Yi."

"really?"

"When did I lie to you?"

Shen Tu didn't really get angry with him, she said, "Then help me put it on."

"Okay." Xiao Shilian took the jade pendant from her hand and tied it on her.

Not a quarter of an hour after Shen Tu returned to Qi's mansion, he was almost hit by Qi Yanhong who was running in a panic. If she hadn't dodged quickly, this Qi Yanhong would have knocked her off the stone bridge.

"Fourth brother, what are you doing?" She blamed him angrily.

Only then did Qi Yanhong see clearly the person who was talking to him, and his voice was hurried, "Fifth Sister, if someone comes to the mansion to look for me, tell him that I am not in the mansion."

Before Shen Tu figured out what happened, Qi Yanhong ran away in the blink of an eye.

She touched the jade pendant at her waist, but fortunately, it was still there.

She only heard Qiqiao talk about it during dinner.

"You said that the fourth brother and the nephew of the eldest lady were beaten today?"

Qi Qiao nodded and said, "The Fourth Young Master took Da Furen's nephew to the gambling house today. He lost all his money and owed a lot. The Fourth Young Master refused to admit that he had borrowed money, so he was beaten."

Shen Tu recalled how he was almost knocked off the stone bridge today, "No wonder I saw him flustered today, with injuries on his face."

"The eldest madam is out of breath," Qiqiao said again, "The fourth young master is still kneeling in the eldest madam's room."

Looking at Qi Yanhong who was kneeling on the ground with his head bowed, Qin Yurong slapped the table, and the teacup almost fell to the ground.

"I asked you to take your cousin around the capital, but you took him to the casino."

Hong Jia, like Qi Yanhong, knelt on the ground with his head down.

"You owed money and reneged on debts, and people chased you home. If your father found out, he wouldn't beat you to death."

As soon as Qi Shilang was mentioned, Qi Yanhong immediately lost his temper. He pleaded and said, "Mother, please don't tell Daddy."

"I won't sue your father this time, but if there is a next time, your father will definitely not forgive you."

As soon as he heard that his mother wanted to hide it from his father, Qi Yanhong immediately swore to Qin Yurong, "There will never be a next time."

Different from Qi Shilang's strict teaching, Qin Yurong pampered them very much.

But let Qi Shilang know about it.

The next day, Qi Shilang went to court, on his way to the main hall, the left deputy capital censor Changchun called him.

"Master Qi, please go slowly."

Hearing someone calling him, Qi Shilang stopped in his tracks.

He turned around and found that it was Chang Chun, the left deputy capital censor of the Inspectorate.

Although both of them held third-rank official positions, they didn't have much contact with each other on weekdays.

"What's the matter, Mr. Chang?" Qi Shilang asked.

Changchun told Qi Shilang about the gambling shop yesterday, and Qi Shilang immediately caught fire.

"My little son is often with Mr. Ling, yesterday he went back to the mansion and told me about this matter, I have already severely admonished him."

How could Qi Shilang not understand Chang Chun's words, he was blaming his son for bringing his son into trouble.

"Master Chang, don't worry, I will definitely teach that traitor a lesson when I go back today."

"Master Qi is good at training children, I, Changchun, can rest assured."

After the court was over, the dark-faced Qi Shilang rushed back to the mansion without stopping.

"Where's Yanhong?" Qi Shilang asked Yu Cai.

"Return to your lord, the fourth son has not returned yet after going out today."

"Go get him back."

After getting the order, Yu Cai immediately called his subordinates to go out to find him.

Yu Cai led people to search around, and finally bumped into Qi Yanhong outside the gambling house.

"Fourth Young Master." Yu Cai immediately called out.

"Yu Cai?" Qi Yanhong won the money today, and what happened yesterday made him proud, he asked Yu Cai, "Why are you here?"

"Your Excellency is looking for the Fourth Young Master." Yu Cai said, "The Fourth Young Master should hurry back!"

"Did you say what's the matter?" Qi Yanhong was afraid that it was because of what happened yesterday, but his mother promised to hide it from his father for him.

Yu Cai shook his head, "Your Excellency didn't say anything."

Qin Yurong also knew about Yu Cai's search for Qi Yanhong.

She asked Chanjuan, "Your Excellency, can you tell me why you are looking for Yanhong?"

Chanjuan shook her head, "My boy said, as soon as the lord comes back, he will ask Yu Cai where the fourth son is."

Qin Yurong worried, "Could it be that the adults know what happened yesterday?"

Chanjuan comforted her and said, "Madam, don't worry, as long as Madam doesn't tell, adults won't know."

Qi Yanhong returned to the mansion with Yu Cai.

"My lord is in the study." Yu Cai said to him.

"I'm going right now," he said.

"Daddy, are you looking for me?"

As soon as Qi Yanhong asked the question, Qi Shilang's voice was severe.

"Kneel down."

Qi Yanhong was stunned for a moment, then knelt down towards Qi Shilang with a "dong".

Qi Shilang spoke sternly, "Do you know why?"

Qi Yanhong knelt on the ground and dared not make a sound.

"You dared to go to the gambling shop to gamble, and you reneged on your debts and had someone chase you home." Qi Shilang became more and more angry as he spoke, and Qi Yanhong knelt on the ground trembling with fear.

As soon as Yu Cai came back, he was called over by Qin Yurong.

Qin Yurong asked him, "Yanhong is back?"

Yu Cai nodded, "Go back to madam, Fourth Young Master has gone to see you."

"Your Excellency, you really didn't say why you wanted to find Yanhong?" Qin Yurong was still worried.

Yu Cai shook his head again, "Your Excellency only asked me to find the Fourth Young Master."

Since he couldn't ask why, Qin Yurong had no choice but to give up.

She asked Yu Cai again, "Where are you and Yanhong now?"

"In your study." Yu Cai replied.

"Okay, you go down!"

Yu Cai was about to retreat, but Qin Yurong stopped him again.

"By the way, where did you find Yanhong?"

"Mrs. Hui," Yu Cai replied truthfully, "I happened to meet the Fourth Young Master outside the gambling house."
