Whose little lady is so crazy?
Chapter 476 Testing and Confirmation
Chapter 476 Testing and Confirmation
After hearing Wu Qing's words, Jiang An frowned even tighter, and angrily scolded: "Do you think I like doing this? You didn't follow them, you don't know what happened, and you don't know how despicable the other party is. I don't have any evidence of his framing. This time I came back, I was also prepared for the worst. I still have to go after I settle down.
Alas, Cheng'er is such a loser, I can't count on him." When he said this, Jiang An slammed the table angrily.
Seeing the master getting angry, Pang Shi lowered her head guiltily. There was nothing she could do. When the master came back, he didn't see his son. She asked the servants and learned that his son was not in the house. She couldn't find out where he had gone. It would be strange if he didn't get angry!
Fortunately, the master did not bother to ask in detail. If he knew that Cheng'er took the three hundred taels of silver and went out on the day he left and had not returned yet, he would have been furious and ordered the servants to look for her. If they found her, he would have beaten her to a pulp.
As for where the person is, he was at a young widow's house a few days ago, but when the master came back today, she hurriedly sent people to look for him secretly, but they couldn't find him. The young widow said that he had gone out last night and had not returned. She didn't know where he had gone, and she thought he had returned to the Jiang Mansion.
The atmosphere in the living room was very depressing. To Pang and the others, Hong Xiaoduo came uninvited. The master himself was not enthusiastic about her, so Pang naturally did not ask for tea.
But Hong Xiaoduo didn't care at all. When Quan Jinghuai came back this morning, he asked her in a low voice when he saw her whether he still wanted to go to the Jiang Mansion.
She thought about it and said no.
Since Jiang An was able to openly repair the plank road while secretly attacking Chencang, and found an excuse to cover it up so as not to arouse the suspicion of Manager Wu, and also used people from other places to investigate, it means that he knew the seriousness of the problem, so he would not return home without bringing help.
Hong Xiaoduo was wondering whether it was appropriate to just sit there and do nothing. Should she say something?
There were hurried footsteps outside the door, and then the doorman walked in: "Master, someone from Zhaozhong Town came and said they have something urgent to do to find Auntie."
Hearing this, Pang Shi immediately started to scold, "What if you are in a hurry?"
Someone came from Zhaozhong Town. Could something have happened at my mother's home?
The doorman hurriedly said that the person was just outside the door and quickly called him in.
He was a thin man in his forties. After entering the room, he bowed to Jiang An and greeted him. Then he looked at Pang Shi and said hesitantly, "Madam, I am Pang Zigui. I am here on the orders of the old lady. Young Master Yong broke his leg three days ago. But don't worry. The best doctor in the mansion has been invited to see him. He said that if Young Master Yong rests well for three months, he will be able to walk normally.
I originally thought that since the New Year was coming, I would not tell you first, but after discussing with the masters, I felt that it would not be appropriate to hide it from you, so I ordered me to come here."
"What? You said Dayong broke his leg? My son." After hearing this, Pang Shi stood up anxiously, pressing her hand on her chest.
Hong Xiaoduo tried not to pout, and her acting was quite realistic, but unfortunately, she didn't miss her initial reaction. When she heard the concierge say that someone from Zhaozhong Town was looking for her urgently, she was really nervous.
However, the moment Pang Zigui said that Young Master Yong slipped and broke his leg, her tense body visibly relaxed.
The reason why she was so nervous at first was probably because she thought something had happened to her parents or brothers.
Pang Shi asked anxiously again how his son fell.
Hong Xiaoduo glanced at Jiang An. She did this just to see the reactions of Pang Shi and Manager Wu with her own eyes. She just wanted to confirm it again.
At this time, Jiang An still looked exhausted and very upset, and had no time to care about the accident that happened to the son born to his aunt and her ex-husband.
Oh, if this kind of acting skills were in the modern film and television industry, it would have won the Golden Eagle Award! Hong Xiaoduo secretly complained in her heart. Compared with Jiang An, Pang Shi's acting skills were much inferior. Her worried and sad expressions seemed a bit exaggerated. When she learned that her biological son had broken his leg, her eyes didn't even turn red, let alone tears.
"Dayong's leg is broken. You should pack up quickly and go back to check on him. Bring some more money with you. If things don't work out, take him in and raise him." Jiang An said to Pang Shi.
Pang was stunned when she heard this, then she quickly said, "Master, I should go back when Yong'er is injured, but you need to solve that troublesome matter now, and I can't help you. How can I leave at this time?
Also, Master, you know that Yong'er has always been resentful of me. It would be better if I don't go back. If I really go, I'm afraid he will do something that will be detrimental to his recovery.
Yong'er has my mother and brothers taking care of him, so there's nothing to worry about."
"That's good. After I solve that troublesome matter, I will take you back to see Dayong and let you stay for a few more days." Jiang An said to Pang Shi with great satisfaction.
After thinking for a while, he added, "Also, Wu Qing, when you go to the warehouse later, I remember there is a century-old ginseng. Take it back to give to Young Master Yong as a supplement."
Feeling that he had handled the situation successfully, Pangzi breathed a sigh of relief and sat back in his chair.
Manager Wu took Pang Zigui to the guest room to rest, and went to the warehouse to look for ginseng.
In the living room, Jiang An frowned as if he was racking his brains to find a solution. Pang Shi was absent-minded and kept looking at the door, but she didn't see the person she had arranged to go out to find her son.
As for Hong Xiaoduo, she had never met Jiang An since she left Jiang's house last time until she met him again today. Therefore, she was not aware of his specific plans.
In the letter that Jiang An had someone bring to her today, it simply told her to find a reason to come to his house.
In other words, the script was not given to Hong Xiaoduo, the two of them had never rehearsed their lines, and she didn't know what Jiang An was going to do.
Therefore, even if Hong Xiaoduo wanted to say something, she didn't dare to say anything. She was afraid that Jiang An would not be able to follow her, and she was even more afraid of disrupting Jiang An's rhythm.
For example, the excuse Jiang An found was that the shop was in big trouble. As to what kind of trouble it was, Hong Xiaoduo did not dare to pretend to inquire about it, for fear that her good intentions would lead to a worse outcome and end up doing more harm than good, thus serving as a scapegoat for Pang Shi and Wu Qing.
Not long after, Manager Wu came back and told Pang Mansion that the century-old ginseng had been found and handed over to the person who came to deliver the message from Pang Mansion.
"Master, Aunt, something bad has happened." A panicked voice was heard along with a burst of hurried shouts, and the next moment, a man dressed as a servant crawled into the living room.
Jiang An slammed the table with anger on his face and shouted, "What's wrong again?"
"My lord, our young master had two fingers chopped off in the gambling house. They said he was caught cheating. The gambling house is holding him hostage and asked us to take 1,200 taels of silver to pick him up," the servant said in panic.
"Cheng'er." After hearing this, Pang Shi stood up and screamed. Her eyes went dark, her body swayed, and she fell to the ground.
After hearing what the servant said, Manager Wu frowned and felt something was wrong. He wanted to hint to Pang Shi to stay calm, but it was too late. He subconsciously looked at Jiang An...
