Chapter 28 Seeing the Stars
Wang Kang's expression changed and he asked again: "Did you find that there was a lack of silver in the courtyard this morning?"
"Yes." Ying'er became frightened again: "I'm not afraid of thieves, I'm just worried that someone really wants to harm the young master..."
Wang Kang turned to Wang Xiao and said, "Where is the silver?"
Wang Xiao said dumbly: "Silver."
While talking, he suddenly took out a small cloth bag from his arms.
Wang Kang reached for it and opened it, but there were only a few gravels inside.
No money?
"Xiao'er, what are you doing with these stones on your body?"
Wang Xiao just smiled, his smile was extremely innocent and harmless, and he said: "This is a star."
Wang Kang was puzzled and asked again: "Where did you go the night before yesterday?"
Wang Xiao was stunned for a moment.
Everyone's eyes were turned to him.
Suddenly, Wang Xiao grinned and said to Aunt Ji in a childlike tone: "Mommy, take Xiao'er out to play again, look at the stars and the moon."
Aunt Ji stood there stunned.
But Wang Xiao picked up a stone and said in a clear voice: "Look, the stars that grandma sold me! One star, one tael of silver, so cheap!"
Star?!
Wang Baoru fell into the ice cave, and the suffocation and darkness covered him again. Ms. Cui suddenly raised her head and took a breath of cold air.
The air seems to be still...
What a star, Mrs. Cui, you asked the nanny in the courtyard to exchange the money at night, and then took the idiot child out of the house. If the child didn't recognize the door, would he have died outside?
Wang Kang fell down on the chair, his chest heaving.
In the lobby, everyone's eyes were turned to Ms. Cui.
Everyone's eyes were a bit complicated, with admiration and ridicule at the same time. They admired her for being able to make up such a bizarre story, and ridiculed her for not being able to prove her own story in the end.
How can you prove a false story?
"Auntie, I'm afraid she's crazy." Wang Jue said to himself.
After a while, the servant reported: "Master, I didn't find the hole that the Fourth Young Master mentioned, but I found a pile of wine jars at the courtyard wall. Someone must have climbed out from the courtyard wall..."
"No need to look for it!" Wang Kang waved his hand.
Fang Min suddenly shouted: "What I just said was forced by Grandma Ji. I didn't hear anything yesterday!"
When Fang Yan said one sentence, Wang Bao suddenly opened his mouth and wanted to shout, but no sound came out.
"He's not a human! He's an evil spirit!"
"It's an evil spirit possessing this idiot!"
What Wang Bao himself didn’t know was that this thought in his mind was actually the closest to the truth of the matter...
The air was eerily still.
Ms. Cui was stunned.
Wang Bao was dripping with cold sweat. Suddenly, he heard Wang Xiao say to him: "Fourth brother, the money you gave me has been spent. Can we play the exchange game again?"
How about we play the swap game again?
OK?
Hearing this childish tone, Wang Bao's eyes darkened and he fainted.
"Bao'er?" Cui lost her soul, walked over and pushed him gently: "Don't faint... Bao'er, what should I do? What should I do next?"
Wang Kang on the chair slowly pointed at Mr. Cui and said, "You woman, you are so cruel! While you were coaxing Xiao'er to sell your land, you asked Aunt Ji to kidnap him out in the middle of the night and get the money.
Cheating him back, and trying every possible means to harm Xiao'er! If my mother hadn't left a loyal maid like Ying'er to protect her, would this child have died in your hands? This is how good a mother you are.
?!"
Wang Xiao thought to himself, well, Ying'er is really a good maid.
Cui said: "It's not like this... It's not like this..."
"Today the deed was exposed, how dare you make up such lies to deceive the whole family! Are you stupid to be an old man?" Wang Kang shouted: "Let me ask you, are you stupid to be an old man?!"
Ms. Cui lowered her head, trembled and dared not speak.
There was great fear in her heart, but she whispered in her heart: "If things fail, don't say anything and don't do anything."
"Don't say anything, don't do anything."
Wang Kang pointed at Mrs. Cui for a long time, his mind going back and forth a thousand times.
The idiot left behind by his deceased wife suffered such a vicious attack after all, but he...
Countless scenes passed through his mind, and he thought of the Cui family again, but after all, he still didn't say the word "divorce his wife."
"You, mother and son, disappoint me so much."
Wang Kang shook his head in displeasure and said, "Zhen'er, please make arrangements and send Wang Bao to Xiangshan Academy. He will not be allowed to come back for five years. Instruct the head of the academy to temper his temperament."
"Yes." Wang Zhen responded.
Wang Kang said to Mrs. Tao again: "You should handle Xiao'er's marriage. Thank you for your hard work."
Mrs. Tao said a blessing and said, "It's what a child should do."
After these two sentences were spoken, everyone had different expressions.
The third child's biological mother died young, so he is nominally Cui's son. Now his wedding is being arranged by his eldest sister-in-law.
This incident will make Mrs. Cui a laughing stock. Others will understand that this is a problem with her stepmother's morality.
What's more, when the emperor marries a daughter, and Mrs. Tao manages the wedding, who corresponds to the woman, and who corresponds to the queen who is the mother of the world. How can it be done without a royal decree?
This decree finally fell on Mr. Tao.
Everyone in the hall knows that Mrs. Cui will never try to suppress her daughter-in-law again in her life. Returning the financial rights of the inner court? I am afraid that she will have to live her life based on her daughter-in-law's face in the future.
However, for someone who intended to kill his stepson, the punishment was considered very light.
Today, when this matter has developed to this point, Tao has become the biggest winner...
Wang Xiao yawned innocently and muttered: "It's been a long time since I said hello today."
Today's events were all arranged by him, starting from the land sold to Cui's mother and son.
He just wanted to teach Cui and her son a lesson. Otherwise, with a bad person like Wang Bao around, he would inevitably worry about Ying'er's safety.
He showed the package of silver to Mr. Tao on purpose yesterday, and he was fully prepared.
Unexpectedly, Ms. Cui was much more ruthless than she thought. Unfortunately, the more ruthless she was, the greater the backlash she encountered.
But Wang Xiao had no pride in his heart. He was still worried about the two dead maids.
I was still too soft-hearted towards Cui and her son, otherwise they might not have died.
At this time, something more important is that there are two most powerful people in this situation who have been watching Wang Zhen and Wang Zhu with cold eyes.
From the beginning of this incident until now, the two brothers have been observing themselves.
He peeked over and saw Wang Zhen shaking her head, as if she didn't like his own methods; Wang Zhu looked at him coldly, with a slight sarcasm on his lips...
Wang Xiao knew that they had discovered that he was not demented. He also knew that everyone else in the Wang family could handle it by themselves, but these two were the most difficult to deal with.
What he is not sure about is: will they be his most powerful enemies or his most powerful protective umbrella?
