The champion's spicy wife 039 kills the chicken and warns the monkey without worry
Meilan was so angry that she almost pounced on Dong'er and Ma Niang to tear their faces apart. How could they be so shameless? They had lost the young master's precious belongings, yet they dared to be so arrogant and self-righteous. When questioned, they acted as if it had nothing to do with them, shifting the blame to Qin Yu and letting him take the fall.
"Hand it over!" Meilan turned back, staring at Dong'er and Ma Niang.
"What's all the fuss about? The mistress already knows, and she hasn't said anything. What are you yelling about?" Ma Po's face was full of arrogance.
She actually knew what Xie Wenjing's mother had asked, and it was indeed Xie Wenjing's mother who had asked Xie Wenbao about the gold necklace. Xie Wenbao pointed to Dong'er and said that he gave it to her as a birthday gift.
Xie Wenjing's mother thought that the most important thing was still leaving Yangzhou tomorrow, and this matter could be endured for the time being. It couldn't be allowed to affect the big deal of leaving Yangzhou because of such a small matter.
Besides, my son has already said that he's sending me away, and as a mother, I shouldn't lose face in front of him. Fortunately, this time when leaving Yangzhou, except for Qin Yu who is studying with my son, none of these people need to be brought along, and they won't be able to corrupt my son again.
But Hei Yu's inkstone case was something that Xie Wenyue's mother didn't know about her precious son losing to someone.
Mei Lan's face was so dark it seemed to drip with ink. She couldn't help but sigh inwardly for her elder sister, thinking that with her elder sister being so clever and wise, how could she have such an uncoordinated younger brother? And this was her own younger brother, now she was so angry that her heart ached!
"Qin Yu, go back and get dressed properly, then go call Big Sister over." Mei Lan thought to herself, this matter was really beyond her ability to handle, it's better to let Big Sister deal with it herself! Her head was splitting with pain.
Xie Wenjing heard that Qin Yu asked her to go to his younger brother's courtyard and knew which moth was difficult to live in Mei Lan.
"Du's mother, you all rest first, I'll go and come back!" Xie Wenjing said as she lifted her foot and walked away.
Du's mother and Zhihua exchanged a glance, both silently followed together to catch up with the young lady.
Xie Wenjing heard the footsteps chasing from behind, but didn't say a word. She thought to herself, what's going on over there? Is her brother refusing to sleep? Is he making a fuss and refusing to leave Yangzhou? Or are those little rascals crying and throwing a tantrum together?
"Miss, the golden collar of young master was given to this servant as a birthday gift by young master. And that black jade, it was lost to the grandson of Madam Ma by young master. They said madam knows about it and refuses to hand it over."
Xie Wenjing entered her brother's courtyard, and Mei Lan reported to Miss Hei with a dark face. This matter is considered a big deal.
The little master's gold necklace is not just a gold necklace, but also inlaid with three thumb-sized jade stones, and the gold necklace weighs one catty.
Not to mention the value of gold, let's just talk about those three emerald jade stones. Each one is worth over 1,000 taels of silver, so the entire gold necklace is worth at least 4,000 taels of silver. And yet this guy dared to take it away with such a light and careless attitude, without even fearing getting burned.
Xie Wenjing stared coldly at the 13-year-old girl in front of her, with a melon-shaped face and sparkling eyes. In her past life, she had never been stingy with her brother's money, but now, at just 13 years old, she dared to seduce her brother's money?
"Mei Lan, go get Young Master Zhou's law book!" Xie Wenjing remained as cold as ice, these little rascals, one day following her brother, one day bringing disaster to her brother.
It's not easy to get the chance to take away my brother, but these bastards actually dare to embezzle such a valuable item from him, aren't they afraid of death?
"Miss, here!" Mei Lan, under Qin Yu's lead, found Xie Wenbao's Da Zhou law and handed it over to Leng Ruoxue's elder sister.
"Article 21 of the Civil Code of the Great Zhou Dynasty: Any act committed by a child under the age of ten shall have no legal effect. The parents, grandparents, elder brothers and sisters of the child shall be liable for the legal consequences of the child's acts in that order."
According to the laws of the Great Zhou, Article 10 of the Servant Law: If a servant deceives and cheats a young master under the age of 10 and obtains more than 50 taels of silver, they shall be flogged with 50 strokes. If they obtain more than 100 taels, they shall be flogged with 100 strokes. If they obtain more than 1,000 taels, they shall be beheaded in public and their family property confiscated. The obtained money shall belong to the young master's household.
As Xie Wenjing's cold voice was like a ghostly charm that scared Dong'er to roll and crawl away, while Ma Niangniang fainted on the ground.
"Miss's and young master's golden collars are here."
Dong'er ran back and took out the hidden gold necklace, then hurriedly ran back and handed it over to Xie Wenjing.
Xie Wenjing didn't answer, Mei Lan stretched out her hand to take the call for Miss, and in her heart she had boundless admiration for Miss. Miss had only read a section of the law to them, but it was enough to subdue these little rascals. The elder miss is indeed wise.
"Hmm, I know young master hasn't made up his mind yet. It's a lot of trouble for you to follow him around and clean up after him. You can go back now."
Xie Wenjing nodded at Dong'er, indicating that she was fine and letting her leave first. Xie Wenjing sneered inwardly, wondering how long this Ma Niang could last?
My brother's black jade inkstone, which was polished by a famous person when our grandmother was still alive, is worth more than 3,000 taels. Grandmother had hoped that my brother would pass the imperial examination and become an official, but who knew that he would be deceived by those people into becoming someone who doesn't care about anything.
All I can say is that the old woman was really formidable, and unknowingly destroyed her mother's hopes. In this life, she must take good care of her brother and will not let him repeat the same mistakes and become a prodigal son who brings down the family.
The old lady fell to the ground, her face deathly pale as she stared at the cold and frosty eldest miss. She wanted to shout at her, "I am the old madam's person, how dare you treat me like this?"
You might as well listen to the two laws that Big Sister just read, you're already guilty of a capital offense, and you'll be lucky if they don't confiscate your family's property. Big Sister's face was icy cold, and she really didn't seem like she was trying to intimidate you.
Xie Wenjing remained motionless, looking at Ma Niangniang who was sprawled on the ground with an air of cold and noble indifference.
This wet nurse was replaced by that old woman as the original nanny who took care of my brother, in my brother's courtyard, she almost became the master, never saw her serving my brother, only saw her playing with my brother like a fool.
Now you're taking advantage of your brother's absence to secretly take this valuable black jade inkstone. If you don't want to die, then I'll send you to death. The laws of the Great Zhou are still very clear.
"Someone, tie her up and tomorrow hand her over to Second Uncle to take to the government office. The crime is deceiving the nine-year-old master into giving away a black jade inkstone worth three thousand, a capital offense! Confiscate their property! You all follow along as witnesses. Zhi Hua, let's go!"
Xie Wenjing saw the old woman's attitude of being stubborn to the end, and didn't want to waste words on her. At this point, she still wanted money more than life, so it was fitting that she would go die.
She also thought that the old woman would save her? Second Uncle, upon hearing this crime, will definitely kill her. Just for that black jade inkstone worth three thousand, Second Uncle will also kill her.
After killing her, the black jade inkstone will definitely become Second Uncle's property, but Xie Wenyin didn't care about this anymore. The little rascals in her brother's courtyard, if she doesn't ruthlessly kill them, what if her brother comes back soon and still suffers from these people's harm? Then let's kill the chicken to warn the monkey!
