Luck in the heavens starts from the Red Mansion.

Chapter 187 Warning (please subscribe)

In fact, the old lady was more than three ways behind Mr. Pardon in terms of her vision and ability to handle major matters.

After all, when Mr. Pardon was young, he saw and experienced a lot of things.

It's much better than the old lady who has been staying in the inner house.

This time, Mr. Pardon was serious about causing trouble in Rongqing Hall. He was afraid.

If the old lady doesn't know how to restrain herself, Mr. Pardon feels that he will be implicated to death sooner or later.

Although the second master Zheng's reaction was not as fierce as the first pardon master, the two brothers came to dissuade him at the same time, which already explained a lot of problems.

The old lady who had fainted from anger soon woke up and found out that Grandma Lai had died and that Lai's house had been ransacked yesterday. You can imagine the depression and anger in her heart.

In the past, the old lady would definitely have caused a huge stir and made the audacious Mr. Pardon and Mr. Zheng pay a sufficient price, otherwise she would never give up.

But this time, although the old lady was very angry, she did not act rashly.

She was shocked by Mr. Pardon's determination, and was afraid that the fuss would be too much, which would arouse Mr. Pardon's rebellious attitude and really want to take her back to his hometown of Jinling with him.

And when the detailed list of the Lai family's property was sent to the old lady, she had nothing to say.

Not to mention the dense collection of good things on the list, many of which were treasures and antiques that had been reported as damaged by the house. Unexpectedly, all of them were taken home by the Lai family.

There are nearly a thousand acres of farmland alone, all of which are fertile farmland between Beijing and Tongzhou.

The old lady naturally knows where these fertile fields came from!

There are dozens of shops in prosperous areas of the city!

There is one room in the main house at the fifth entrance, one in the third house, and five rooms in the second house!

There are [-] taels of silver in the warehouse, and the value of gold, silver, jewelry, treasures and antiques is roughly estimated at around [-] taels!

Added up, the value is almost [-] taels!

Seeing the final statistics, even the old lady felt extremely dazzled.

Anger surged in her heart, and she felt aggrieved and helpless at being fooled by her subordinates. It was hard to say anything at the moment. The amount of money copied by the Lai family was a slap in her face.

The old lady originally thought that the Lai family's wealth would be capped at a few hundred thousand taels at most.

This is the dignity she gives, and she is willing to let her confidants who work for her live a comfortable and comfortable life.

She would never have thought that the Lai family, who had always been thought to be very loyal, would actually play such a trick on her?

When the old lady found out that the executors responsible for the raid were Jia Lian and Jia Huan, she knew that the money gained from the raid was definitely more than [-] taels.

But this result was even more difficult for her to accept!

What made her most furious and decided not to pay attention to the Lai family's affairs was a rumor.

It is said that the living standards of Lai's grandson Lai Shangrong are all based on those of the second master Bao in the mansion!

This kind of news was spread to Rongqing Hall somehow, and then the old lady found out about it.

At that time, she threw away her beloved tortoise shell reading glasses, her face was livid, her eyes were blazing with fire, and her heart was filled with murderous intent. If Grandma Lai was right there, she would probably do it herself.

Why, do you think that boy Lai Shangrong is comparable to Baoyu?

Isn't that old lady Lai better than her, an old feudal lord of the Rong Mansion?

Everything like being the number one confidant and respectability has disappeared. The old lady now has no idea about the fact that the Lai family has been raided and completely destroyed, and she even has the urge to applaud.

She stopped fussing, and all the Rongfu bosses who were nervously paying attention to the news in Rongqing Hall breathed a sigh of relief.

Mr. Pardon, who had used his inner fear to explode in Rongqing Hall before, felt frightened after returning.

After all, I have been accumulating power for a long time, and it won't be a sudden outburst that can completely offset the fear in my heart.

Fortunately, the old lady didn't seem to want to make too much noise and didn't mean to go into details, so that's fine.

Master Pardon made up his mind not to show up in front of the old lady for at least half a month.

It just so happened that Brother Huan was sending a steady stream of money over, and he felt very happy.

Mr. Zheng Er also felt a little regretful. After all, he drove the old lady to faint, which was obviously very unfilial.

However, at the moment, he still has the job of contacting Mr. Jing from Xuanzhen Temple outside the city, and he doesn't know if Mr. Jing can help Ning Rong's second house avoid the current turmoil of cleaning up the remnants of the deposed prince.

If the old lady hadn't reminded him, he wouldn't have noticed what he was doing now.

At this time, the changes that happened in Ning Mansion had gradually spread to Rong Mansion.

The Ning Mansion did not communicate with the Rong Mansion and directly blocked the small door connecting the two mansions.

Mr. Zheng was silent for a long time after learning about this matter. He ordered Mrs. Wang to block the news and not let the old lady know, otherwise it would cause another trouble.

After hearing the rumors, Mrs. Wang and Mrs. Xing secretly sighed in their hearts. They did not expect that the old lady would be so vicious and would directly kill Brother Rong's daughter-in-law.

They had also heard about Brother Rong's daughter-in-law's background. The old lady didn't take the royal family seriously at all, and they didn't know what she was thinking.

As for the murder of Grandma Lai and the confiscation of the Lai family, it did not cause much stir in Rong Mansion.

There was no other way. The old lady and the two gentlemen had a fierce verbal conflict, which attracted all the attention of the Rong family. The affairs of the Lai family naturally had to be put on the back burner. Once the sons of the Rongfu family know that the events that happened in the Ningfu have involved Grandma Lai, it will not be surprising.

He dared to come up with the idea of ​​harming the royal bloodline, so it was only natural that the Lai family should be raided.

However, when the amount of confiscated property of the Lai family was exposed, the other three chief stewards were frightened for fear that the two masters in the mansion would conveniently confiscate their homes as well.

More than eight hundred thousand taels!

Such an amount of property, no matter which family is placed in the capital, is a considerable amount of wealth.

If someone is willing to merge the properties of the two Lai families that were confiscated before, the entire Lai family's property will reach a terrifying amount of more than [-] million taels!

What is this concept?

The amount of money Ning Mansion owed to the treasury was only this amount!

It can only be said that the Lai family is really resourceful, and the Ningrong second house is really exaggerated in being plundered.

The Rong Mansion is a big sieve and cannot hide things at all.

Not long after, the news that the Lai family was ransacked and an astonishing amount of wealth was obtained quickly spread among the powerful circles in the capital, causing an uproar.

Especially Lai Da's colleagues and the managers of various powerful families, they all behaved with fear between their legs, fearing that their bosses would do something to them.

Every time I notice an obvious or subtle scrutiny in the eyes of the family leader, I can't help but feel a tremble in my heart, and I become more and more resentful towards Lai Da, the instigator.

Of course, there are many who are envious!

If they could plunder [-] taels of silver, why would they stay here in the capital any longer?

Wouldn't it be better to directly find an opportunity and ask the head family to go to a remote village to work as a local emperor?

It can only be said that the Lai family is too greedy and does not understand the principle of giving up when something is good.

Not to mention the housekeepers and stewards of the powerful families who were affected, even the eunuchs in the palace also felt uneasy. Dai Quan privately scolded his two colleagues Lai Da and Lai Er.

After following Jin Jin for decades, how could he not notice that Jin Jin was a little moved after hearing the news.

As a result, Dai Quan tried his best to look inconspicuous these days, and would not hang out in front of the present unless necessary, for fear that if the present wanted to prove it, he would be stabbed.

No, the money in the palace outside the palace must be hidden in a safer and more secure place.

Of course, in addition to the rumors about the Lai family, the changes in the Ning Mansion have also reached today's ears.

Dai Quan secretly cursed in his heart, why can't Mr. Shi Laofeng in Rong Mansion just take care of his old age honestly, and he must be involved in such a dangerous thing?

He can naturally sense the dissatisfaction and even anger in his heart today!

Is it true that the royal bloodline can be manipulated by outsiders at will? Do you really think that the royal family has no temper?

That is to say, taking into account the age of Mr. Shi and his influence among a group of old ladies, otherwise she would definitely know what it means to be unpredictable in the power of God!

While he was leaving the palace to rest, he quietly called Jia Qiang and squirted a lot of saliva.

"Say hello to the Rong Mansion, no matter what you want to do, don't hurt the Qin family easily, otherwise the entire Jia family in the capital will face disaster!"

After saying that, he accepted the five thousand taels of silver notes offered by Jia Qiang with a smile on his face without any ceremony.

If it weren't for the fact that Ning Mansion was a stable source of wealth and a steady stream of money, he wouldn't have bothered to remind the stupid Jia family.

When Jia Qiang was about to leave, he said meaningfully: "If you want to gain anything, you have to pay the price you deserve. Don't think about opportunism!"

After saying that, he waved his hand to indicate that Jia Qiang could leave, with a rather disdainful look on his face.

As the general manager of the palace, apart from the fact that the Supreme Emperor's palace is difficult to intervene in, nothing in the palace can be hidden from him. Do you really think that the plans of the old master of the Rong Mansion are very secretive?

Before, several old concubines in the palace had secret contacts with people outside the palace. He knew about these things, but he didn't take the initiative to expose them.

Although it was unclear what the plans of these old concubines were, what happened in the Ning Mansion was quite appropriate. It was difficult for Dai Quan not to connect the two things together even if he wanted to.

Thinking about the fact that the eldest girl from Rong Mansion is still suffering in the palace, how could she not be able to guess some clues?

It can only be said that some people are really blinded by lard and dare to do anything!

On the other side, Jia Qiang was full of doubts and found Jia Huan, who was still dealing with the follow-up matters of the Lai family. She relayed Dai Quan's words and asked curiously: "What does the last sentence mean?"

"I guess it has something to do with the incident in Ning Mansion!"

Jia Huan's heart moved, and he had no intention of hiding it. He explained calmly: "Dai Quan feels that the old lady's behavior is too opportunistic. This is a warning and a reminder!"

"Yeah, but I still don't understand!"

Jia Qiang was a little embarrassed and said helplessly: "Are my qualifications too bad?"

"It's good that you are self-aware!"

Jia Huan laughed, waved his hand and said, "This matter will be revealed soon, and you will know it by then!"

"What you, the boy, need to do right now is to keep an eye on the Ning Mansion and don't let the young people take advantage of it. Of course, there is no need to be too suspicious!"

"If there is any trouble that cannot be solved, send someone to notify me and I will rush over to help!"

Regarding Ning Mansion, Jia Huan now regards it as his own territory. In the future, many things will need to be operated with the help of Ning Mansion, so naturally he will not be too careless.

Turning around, he told the news to Mr. Pardon Master and Mr. Zheng Er, especially emphasizing that it was from the Ouchi Superintendent.
