Chapter 144
Looking along the opponent's fingers, Su Qingyue saw a crack.

It blooms from the lion's neck and extends to the lower abdomen.

Although it was only about half a finger wide, the wound was already quite astonishing for the size of the lion cub.

No wonder it cried last night that it was always hungry and could never get enough to eat!

Seeing water dripping from the crack, Master Chen reached out to touch it, and then put it under his nose to smell.

"It's suet!" he cried.

"Master Chen asked the stonemason to come and take a look. If it can be repaired, I believe that there will be no more lost things in the future." Su Qingyue said.

"Okay, no problem! But that bead..."

"Let's talk about it when we go back to the house."

When the two returned to the Chen Mansion, they happened to meet Dai Rong and Dawang.

She hugged the bundle and returned with great interest.

"Brother! I found something!"

"That's good, what about that person?"

"I tied it to a tree with a rope. Guess who? It turned out to be the guy who took the lead in catching the thief! When we found the residence, he showed his fierce face and wanted to embarrass me. Fortunately, the king caught it in time, otherwise the consequences would be disastrous." !"

Looking back on the scene at that time, Dai Rong still has lingering fears.

Mr. Chen was ignorant and couldn't help but interrupt.

"Girl, what are you talking about?" he asked.

"When everyone was busy catching thieves last night, someone took advantage of the chaos and stole our baggage. It was a servant of your mansion. If I'm not mistaken, your bead should also be in his hands." Su Qingyue said .

"Oh, I forgot to ask this!" Dai Rong patted his head.

"Where is he?" Master Chen asked in shock.

"Follow me!" Dai Rong jumped into the carriage again.

The king ran ahead to lead the way, and Master Chen hurriedly asked someone to pull a cart to follow.

The carriage crossed the street, got into the alley, and finally stopped in front of a farmhouse in the mountains.

Before everyone got out of the car, they saw a man tied to a tree with his backhand.

His face was as pale as a pig's liver, and the legs of his trousers were bitten into pieces by a dog, dripping blood.

Dai Rong tied it well, took the rope and strangled it directly around his neck, if everyone came a step later, this person would probably pass by.

Seeing Mr. Chen, he hurriedly called for help and pleaded guilty.

"My lord, I was wrong! I beg you to leave me a way out and loosen the rope!"

"When the king came here, he was burying the dirt, and it was inside the house!" Dai Rong said.

The smelly house looked like it had been abandoned for a long time, and the people nearby used it as a toilet when doing farm work.

"Arong, take Master Chen in, I'll wait outside." Su Qingyue frowned.

"Okay, Master Chen, come with me!" Dai Rong led the people in.

"Mr. Su, please let me go!" The servant continued to beg.

"The knot is too tight, I'm afraid I won't be able to untie it, just wait a little longer." Su Qingyue glanced at the rope and said.

"Sir, just try... I'm really dying..."

Seeing how pitiful he was, Su Qingyue tried to explain it.

In the end, it was pulled twice, but the knot was tightened even more, and the servant stood there rolling his eyes.

"I said earlier that I couldn't understand it." Su Qingyue sighed.

"..." The other party wanted to cry but had no tears.

"Thank you, Mr. Su, I found the item!" Master Chen said happily.

"Come and save people!" Su Qingyue asked for help.

Seeing this, a group of people hurried forward to rescue him, splashing water and pinching him, and it took him a long time to wake up.

"Ah Liang, how could you do such a thing? Over the years, our family has never treated you badly!" Master Chen said sadly while holding the beads.

The servant fell to his knees, crying and begging for forgiveness, and told the whole story intermittently.

It turned out that he met a woman in the place of fireworks, and the madam promised that as long as he could get thirty oceans, he would hand over the contract of sale.

Although he had no worries about food and clothing in the Chen family, he couldn't afford the money for a while.

So they had evil thoughts and put their minds on Ms. Chen's dowry. Knowing that the father and daughter valued the bead very much, they took advantage of the kitchen theft to steal the water bead.

He was waiting at the door yesterday, and seeing the things in Su Qingyue's bag with his own eyes, he couldn't help feeling guilty again.

Unexpectedly, before she had time to sell her dirty clothes, she was caught and revealed herself.

In front of his master, he cried so much that he was ashamed.

After listening to Master Chen, he let out a long sigh, and asked the housekeeper to bring out thirty oceans on the spot.

"Over the years, you have put in a lot of effort in Chen's house, and the money is my wish to marry you. But there is one thing, you need to remember, I take the money to thank you for your dedication , instead of being afraid of you reaching out to steal things! You leave Xixiang and make a living for yourself! Don’t do this kind of thing again in the future.” Master Chen turned his back.

The servant was holding the ocean, weeping uncontrollably.

He kowtowed ten times to him before leaving under everyone's reprimand.

Su Qingyue watched the servant walk away before turning her gaze away.

"Master Chen's kindness and righteousness are really admirable!" she said.

"Mr. Su's reputation is too high. He has been in Chen's house for 16 years. I have long regarded him as a family member. But when encountering troubles, he didn't ask me for help, but stole things for money... I should also reflect on myself and see if it is right. You are too harsh on people on weekdays." He said sadly.

"Master Chen, can I have a look at the beads in your hand?"

"Sir please!"

Su Qingyue took the beads and stared at the sun for a while.

In terms of appearance alone, it is really ordinary, not like something valuable.

"You said it was water-dispelling beads, has anyone verified it?"

"Never, Madam even teased me in private, saying that it might be an ordinary bead. It's just a joke left by my ancestors, but we treasure it as a treasure."

Su Qingyue was silent for a moment, then returned the beads.

Seeing that she was hesitant to speak, Master Chen made everyone back away.

"Mr. Su, you might as well speak up if you have something to say." He said frankly.

"Since that's the case, then I won't hide it. The lion on the stone bridge accidentally got red paint on its eyes. This is an ominous sign, and it indicates that the Chen family, or the entire Xi Township, will suffer disaster in the near future! This matter was caused by water drops, so I guess now that there may be some kind of connection between the two. Fate cannot be ignored, and heaven cannot be violated. I didn't want to pay attention to this matter at first, but just now I saw that you are open-minded in words and deeds, and you are a gentleman. I can't bear to see disaster happen, so I am hesitant." Su Qingyue said.

"Is this true sir?"

"There is absolutely no falsehood."

"Then, what should we do then?" Master Chen panicked for a moment.

"This matter needs to be discussed in the long run. After returning home, you might as well think about it again, has any other strange things happened to the ancestors of the Chen family!" Su Qingyue comforted him.

After returning to the mansion, Master Chen originally planned to hold a banquet to reward Su Qingyue, but was disturbed by her words.

"Mr. Su, I've really thought about it, and even looked through the genealogy. There really aren't any strange records!" He said melancholy.
