Chapter 368 Rumors spread
Butler Wang simply lowered his head and closed his eyes, pretending to be dead. He knew nothing, nothing at all!
"Butler Wang, what's going on?" Wang Mengwu asked.

Butler Wang's heart trembled slightly, but he couldn't escape it after all.

"Humph, I just want to hear what happened that caused everyone in the mansion to capture a little girl!"

Huaiying glared at Wang Mengwu unhappily, as if she wanted to poke a few holes in him, and she would not give up until he explained the reason.

Wang Mengwu looked at her coldly. The old woman had never been so tough before. Why was she meddling in other people's affairs today?
Doesn’t she dislike this wild girl?

"Butler Wang, speak!"

The housekeeper Wang who was named spoke up, "The young lady was wronged by the eldest lady, so she came to the eldest young master's yard to return the jade bracelet. She said a few words and wanted to run away from the Wang family. This is why I had someone stop her..."

"My granddaughter was wronged? Just because of a pair of jade bracelets? Zhang, that shallow-skinned woman, dared to make my granddaughter angry for a pair of jade bracelets. Why didn't you make a decision for her, and let someone arrest her? She is a little girl, she was wronged and no one made a decision for her. After being frightened by you, she must have panicked and had no choice but to do something."

Hearing Huaiying's words, Yang Jinfan sobbed even harder.

"Grandma, it doesn't matter if Ah Fan is wronged. When I was in the mountains, my master taught me that you can't accept gifts without merit, and you can't take other people's things without permission. Since it's my aunt's dowry, Ah Fan can't take it. People like Ah Fan don't need such precious things."

She bit her lower lip lightly, her shoulders trembled from crying, the tip of her nose turned red, and her snow-white, delicate face was stained with a thin layer of powder.

I feel pity for you.

Huai Ying felt even more distressed, and said viciously: "Her mother's family can't afford such valuable things as a dowry for her. She is clearly robbing. As an elder, she wants to rob the things that her uncle gave to his niece. What a shameless person!"

"Grandma, cousin Ah Xian is right. Ah Fan was born in the countryside, so it is natural that he does not have the jade bracelet. Uncle was kind enough to give it to him, but Ah Fan is unlucky and cannot enjoy the blessing."

Huai Ying was furious: "Did she really say that to you?"

Yang Jinfan covered her mouth timidly and surprised, crying, "I...I believe cousin Ah Xian didn't mean it, and what she said is true."

Huai Ying turned to look at Wang Mengwu with a cold look in her eyes and asked, "Is this the tutor of the eldest wife of the Wang family?"

This light question made Wang Mengwu's face darker.

She was reminding him that he was from the Wang family's eldest branch.

Everyone in Suzhou City knows that the Wang family, the richest family in Suzhou, rose to prominence after the second master of the Wang family married a noble lady from the capital. The second branch of the family was supposed to inherit the Wang family, and if they hadn't encountered an unexpected event, it would never have been their turn.

"I followed your aunt's instructions. It was my fault for not disciplining her properly. Don't worry, I will definitely teach Xian'er how to behave in society."

"I just want to know who will make up for the injustice my granddaughter has suffered?"

"According to my aunt's opinion."

"You gave those jade bracelets to Ah Fan, so you can't take them back. Tell Zhang and her daughter that if they want them, they can buy them with their own money. The Wang family has never lacked food and drink for them. If they do something naughty again, they will be sent to the farm to reflect on their mistakes."

"Nephew follows my aunt's opinion."

Wang Mengwu winked at Butler Wang, but he kept his brows lowered, making it impossible to see his expression.

Tao Suer also agreed with satisfaction: "This is a great move!"

When Yang Jinfan saw Wang Mengwu nod, he thanked him timidly, and the smile in his eyes could hardly be hidden.

Huaiying continued to criticize Wang Mengwu, and then everyone left in a mighty manner.

When Wang Mengwu woke up, he was scolded for no reason. After everyone left, he raised his head and stared in the direction of the receding figure with a fierce look in his eyes.

"Butler Wang, tell me exactly what happened."

Housekeeper Wang was also dissatisfied with Huaiying. In order to protect her granddaughter, she embarrassed the old man in front of so many people. It seemed that the past ten years had not been hard enough, so that she had not yet figured out who she should rely on.

After counting the Wang family’s losses, Wang Mengwu swept the tea set beside the couch to the ground.

"When I recover, I will sell her to make up for the Wang family's debt!" "Master, you are wise."

This farce made the already heavily indebted Wang family even worse.

There was no way to repair the damaged furnishings, and the room was left bare.

Every day when Wang Mengwu opened his eyes and saw the impoverished bedroom and main house, his blood boiled.

The Wang family was experiencing a cash flow slump, and they used this excuse of failing to protect their master to dismiss many of their maids and servants in order to save money.

But some people just don't have any vision and just enjoy their blessings without any consideration, like Yang Jinfan.

"Uncle, your niece is here to see you!"

The sound had already spread before the person reached the yard.

Wang Mengwu was annoyed for a moment, and threw the quilt over his head and said, "No!"

Butler Wang asked someone to stop Yang Jinfan, but she was not angry.

"Butler Wang, when I came to the Wang family, the young man who led the group said that I would have many maids and servants to serve me after I entered the mansion. You also said a few days ago that you would let me choose my own maid. I came to ask, when can I choose my maid?"

Yang Jinfan's eyes were sparkling and he exuded a friendly energy.

Butler Wang got a headache as soon as he saw her.

Aunt, you never mentioned a word about how much money the Wang family lost because of you!

"Don't worry, young lady. I've been busy lately and haven't found a suitable candidate yet. I'll have someone notify you as soon as I find one."

Yang Jinfan blinked his big eyes twice and said with a smile: "Housekeeper Wang, can't the mansion afford a maid? I am a little short-handed in my courtyard. If you are short of money, my uncle can give me that pair of jade bracelets..."

"Don't think too much, young lady. I was too busy to remember. I'm not short of money. Young lady, I'm in urgent need of help. I'll arrange it for you right away."

Yang Jinfan wanted to bring up the jade bracelet again but was interrupted by him.

Yang Jinfan smiled politely and said, "Then I will wait for good news."

As soon as she turned around, a smirk crept onto her cheek.

She was just trying to annoy people, what's wrong? !

Slightly~~
As expected, when Wang Mengwu heard these words, the tea sets suffered again.

"She dares to mention the maid. Who will be responsible for the hundreds of thousands of dollars I lost?! Steward Wang, have her killed now!"

Wang Mengwu was furious.

"Master, calm down! Rumors are spreading everywhere outside, Master, you must not act impulsively!"

"What did you say?!"

"Master, there are rumors that our Wang family treats our niece harshly, and that we want to return the gift immediately after giving it. They say they have never seen a family as stingy as ours. There are also people maliciously spreading rumors that the Wang family's wealth is just an act, that they appear to be rich, but in reality they can only barely get by. Those companies that were willing to supply goods even though they owed us money are no longer willing to be partners, and are forcing us to pay back the money!"

"Who leaked the news?!"

Steward Wang shook his head in annoyance. "After that day, I have punished all the servants in the mansion one by one, but people's hearts are the most difficult to trust. There is no guarantee that some of those dismissed servants will hold a grudge..."

"Check, check quickly!"
