Honglou: This bastard is too persuasive.

Chapter 496 Jia She Investigates the Servants

It has to be said that Jia Huan's series of words directly confused Lin Daiyu. She had never thought about so many questions, but Jia Huan said them out easily. She suddenly remembered that when she came to Rongguo Mansion, she should have observed mourning, but the old lady let her live in her yard, and lived in the front and back rooms with Jia Baoyu.

Although I was reluctant back then, I had no way to refute it. This was after my father passed away, and as soon as I came back, the old lady moved me out. It was not a good thing for me to have contact with Jia Baoyu. And now, if it is really as the man in front of me said, that is to say, I am no longer of any use to the old lady, she will not let me be with Jia Baoyu.

Although Lin Daiyu has not thought about being with Jia Baoyu yet, he can't help feeling a little nervous when he thinks about the future.

To be honest, Lin Daiyu had thought that after her father passed away, she would have to rely on her grandmother's family for survival, but she didn't expect that such a thing would happen in Rongguo Mansion as soon as she arrived.

He couldn't believe what the man in front of him said, but he felt that what he said was very reasonable, so he could only remain silent. Jia Huan looked at him and didn't say much, but just continued what he had just said.

"I just said that you may not believe what I said, but you will know if you watch it over the next two days. It won't be long before you find out that what I said is true. You will also find out whether the people in Rongguo Mansion are human or ghosts, and what are they thinking?"

"I believe that with your intelligence, you can figure these things out, but you were just blinded by a single leaf and didn't see the big picture."

"But you must not tell anyone that I stole the money from Rongguo Mansion. Even if you tell anyone, no one will believe you. Even if you tell them with details, they will just think you are joking."

"The old lady and Madam Wang care about their reputation the most. Although their money is lost and the news will definitely spread, they will not admit it. If they admit it, Rongguo Mansion will really fall into decline, and if they admit it, something will really happen. So for the sake of Rongguo Mansion, they will only say that these are all rumors."

"They even said that they had put your silver and belongings away and would get them back to you later."

"Don't force it then, just pretend you don't care about the money. I don't think they have the time to bother with you right now. They will spend most of their energy on getting the money back."

"And you should also take this opportunity to see if what I said is true. If you think what I said is right, then be careful in the future and think more about yourself. In this Rongguo Mansion, if you don't think about yourself, no one will think about you."

"The old lady may have some affection for you, but she is more of a use of Mrs. Wang. She wishes you were dead. She has no affection for you. Jia Baoyu just thinks you are a toy that can be discarded at any time. If you are willing to believe me, be nice to yourself."

"Your father and I have some history, and I definitely don't want to see you get into trouble in this Rongguo Mansion. During this time, just be yourself, stay in the yard, don't run around, come to me if you have any problems, and don't worry about anything else."

After Jia Huan finished speaking, he confirmed with Lin Daiyu the method of delivering the message, and then turned and left. However, just as he walked out and Lin Daiyu just breathed a sigh of relief, he turned back again. He took out a box from his arms and handed it to Lin Daiyu and said.

"I just forgot that there are a bunch of gold beans and silver beans in this box. They are both valuable. Add them together and this box should be worth about 1,800 taels."

"Use these for emergency use. If you have any ideas, or want to do something yourself, just tell me the way I left you. I will arrange it for you then."

After saying this, Jia Huan really left. After Jia Huan disappeared, Lin Daiyu finally confirmed that everything that happened today was true. He opened the wooden box and looked at the gold and silver beans inside to confirm that these things were not fake.

And if what the man just said was true, many of his ideas over the years would collapse. It seemed that his grandmother, Mrs. Wang, and even Lin Daiyu were not good people. He could not accept this.

But no matter whether he could accept it or not, Jia Huan had already completed what he wanted to do, so he went back directly.

Everything he had to do today had been completed, so after he returned, he told Aunt Zhao about the situation and then went to bed peacefully. However, this night was like the collapse of the sky and the earth for the Rongguo Mansion and even the entire Jia family. People said that this day was a catastrophe for the entire Rongguo Mansion.

Because the big storehouse and the storehouses of Lady Wang and the old lady were completely robbed, this incident caused Lady Wang and the old lady to fall into coma at the same time. After they fell into coma, the master of the big house and Lady Xing naturally had to take control of the overall situation. They did not immediately look for good doctors or imperial physicians for the old lady and Lady Wang, but began to look for traces of the silver throughout the mansion.

Jia She finally found this opportunity, how could he let it go? He arrested all the servants in the Rongguo Mansion, whether they were in charge of the old lady's warehouse, Mrs. Wang's warehouse, or the Guan Shi in charge of the big warehouse. After all, he was the eldest master of the Rongguo Mansion, so he had a lot of people under his control. With his order, he really arrested a lot of people.

Originally, he only wanted to find the silver in the warehouse, but after interrogating several managers of the large warehouse, he found that the managers of the large warehouse were actually very rich. Several managers' families had received three or four hundred thousand taels of silver and shops, manors and houses worth one or two hundred thousand taels of silver.

In other words, these few stewards alone directly received five or six hundred thousand taels of silver. At this moment, he was very suspicious that all his money had been taken away by these servants. He thought that if Madam Wang and the old lady woke up, they would never let him find the money, and might even have some ideas about taking advantage of him. So he asked someone to send the old lady and Madam Wang away as soon as possible.

They even said that the two were so angry that their health was not good, so they were sent out for recuperation.

It's just that his ideas were beautiful and his actions were quick, but this could not make up for his lack of control over the Rongguo Mansion, so his plan was known to many people just as it began. It was for this reason that he was stopped by others just after he sent the old lady and Mrs. Wang out of the door.
