Honglou: This bastard is too persuasive.

Chapter 497 The Lai Family and Zhou Rui Family Are Gone
The one who stopped him was none other than Jia Zhen, the eldest master of the Ningguo Mansion across the street, and he was accompanied by two imperial doctors.

It turned out that after this incident happened, the Lai family discovered something unusual, so they immediately found Lai Er. After Lai Er found out the situation, he went straight to Jia Zhen. He didn't say what the eldest master had done, but only said that the old lady and Mrs. Wang were both unconscious, and hoped that the eldest master could help find an imperial physician. Naturally, if I were the eldest master, I would not refuse.

So, Jiazhen quickly went to bring Yuyi back, wanting to treat Mrs. Wang and the old lady, and just arrived at the door, she happened to catch up. Of course, all this was calculated by that family.

When Jia She found out, it was already too late, because arrangements had already been made for the old lady and Mrs. Wang to be treated, and it only took a moment for them to regain consciousness.

As soon as they woke up, the arranged people told them everything that had just happened. Originally, the people from the Lai family thought they could escape, but they didn't expect that the old lady and Mrs. Wang had already reacted the moment they woke up, and after hearing the lady's report, they looked at each other and stood up and spoke without hesitation.

"I was wondering where all the silver and other items in the Rongguo Mansion's warehouse and our own warehouse went. I didn't expect it to be the California slaves. You are so stubborn. I really give you face. The boss did nothing wrong. He was just a steward in a large warehouse, but he was able to find hundreds of thousands of taels of silver. So I'm afraid that Rongguo Mansion must have won a lot of money from other servants, right?"

"I never thought that you would do such a thing even though I, the Rongguo Mansion, have been so tolerant of you."

"Come and cooperate with the boss to search and confiscate all the farmers in Rongguo Mansion. Don't let anyone go. I want to see where the money lost from Rongguo Mansion went."

After the old lady finished speaking, Mrs. Wang did not hesitate to arrange for her confidants to find others to help her conduct the confidant search and confiscate the property together. She also wanted to make up for her losses.

If Jia She was able to confiscate hundreds of thousands of taels of silver and related items from a few unimportant stewards, then they would be able to find the same.

If several unimportant items could be seized from Rongguo Mansion for hundreds of thousands of taels, how much more would be lost from those important items? Would it be millions of taels or one or two million taels? Thinking of this number, both Mrs. Wang and Grandmother Jia made up their minds at this moment. Since the family had lost so much, they had to make up for the loss as soon as possible.

So during that night, both the hypothesis and old lady Wang Fu-ren made up their minds to rob all the servants in the house. It is not mentioned how much money they got that night, but after that day, all of the people in Rongguo Mansion, including Lai Da Zongguan, who was the most capable steward to Lady Jia, and Zhou Ruijia, who was the most capable steward to Lady Wang, disappeared from Rongguo Mansion.

When Jia Huan woke up the next morning and heard what Aunt Zhao said, he was also stunned.

"So, last night I emptied out their three warehouses, and the master, Madam Wang, and the old lady actually emptied out the servants' homes, and compensated them for their losses, making up for everything."

Aunt Zhao also nodded in disbelief.

"That's true. I asked someone to inquire about it. The news from the service today said that everything that was lost in the warehouse yesterday has been found, but it was secretly intercepted by these servants."

"In the past many years, they did everything they could to gain power and become the masters of the people. They almost emptied the entire Rongguo Mansion." "And this time, they were discovered because they were too ruthless. They took away all the dowry of Miss Lin who had just returned from Yangzhou, which caused a huge sensation."

"Fortunately, we found it in time, so now everything in the warehouse has been found, even the things in the old lady and Madam Wang's warehouse have been returned to their original owners."

"As for the people who did these things, it was Lai Da and Zhou Rui who worked together to empty the entire Rongguo Mansion. As a result, they were discovered. Now the people from these two families are nowhere to be found. We don't know whether they were beaten to death or trafficked."

"But this matter is obviously not over yet."

Jia Huan had not expected that things would develop in this direction. He had thought that the old lady and Mrs. Wang had no way out after the silver was lost, but he had not expected that they could actually get the money back by going to Kang Nupu. Although it was obvious that they could not get all the money back, it was good enough to get some back.

What's more, Aunt Zhao didn't know that Jia Huan knew about it. According to the TV dramas she watched in her previous life, she knew that the servants of the Jia family were very greedy for money. After so many years, they were probably richer than the Rongguo Mansion, so this time they might have recovered all their losses.

However, even if they surpassed all the servants' families, it would be impossible for them to make up for the property brought by the neighbors, so in the end, Lin Daiyu was able to get back the 50 that Jia Lian mentioned. Even if it was a high amount, there was no way she could get more.

Of course, these were just his thoughts. What made him more curious was what Aunt Zhao meant by "not over yet". Has this matter not ended yet?
So he asked Aunt Zhao out of curiosity, and Aunt Zhao laughed.

"You don't know this or that family, but they not only manage Rongguo Mansion, but also Ningguo Mansion. So this time the entire Lai family disappeared, and Lai Er was naturally gone. Butler Lai Er was the butler of Ningguo Mansion after all. Now that he is gone, how can Jia Zhen not investigate? The investigation revealed that Lai Er had embezzled at least tens of millions of dollars from Ningguo Mansion, and now all this money should have been taken by Rongguo Mansion."

"I heard that it was really loud in the morning. The master went to the old lady and made a big scene, asking her to return Lai Er and the others' money to him. Unfortunately, the old lady refused to admit it at all."

"According to the old lady, the money was moved out of Rongguo Mansion by the sellers. They just took the money back and it has nothing to do with Ningguo Mansion."

When Jia Huan heard this, he also laughed.

"He can only suffer this loss in silence, but he is not a good person. The old lady cheated him so much, I am afraid Jia Zhen is keeping an eye on him."

"Mother, just wait and see. It won't be long before something happens between the two Ning and Rong tigers. We can just watch the joke from the sidelines. Don't worry about other things. You should also understand that we have money now. We don't have to worry about the front desk. Just do what you want to do."
