After Xiao Fubao's life was stolen, he became the favorite of everyone in the capital

Chapter 453 How to Judge

Nanny Xie and her family lived in the alley behind General Xie’s mansion.

She was Mrs. Xie's dowry. Her husband was originally General Xie's long-time attendant, and now he is one of the managers of the general's mansion. It can be said that the whole family depends on General Xie's mansion for their livelihood.

Although she was Xie Xingchuan's wet nurse, she would go home at a certain time in the evening. At this moment, she was hurriedly returning to her home holding a box of jewelry.

As soon as she entered, she saw that her man was the only one at home. She immediately became unhappy and asked, "Where's Dabao? Did you let him out again?"

When Manager Xie heard this, he frowned and said, "I can't watch him all day long. I have my own things to do!"

Aunt Xie frowned and said, "What a sin! How could I have given birth to such a debt collector?"

Steward Xie suppressed his fatigue and asked, "What are you holding in your arms?"

Aunt Xie wiped away her tears and said, "The young master gave me a set of gold jewelry as a reward."

Manager Xie's eyes lit up: "Then hurry up and pawn it and see how much you can make up."

Aunt Xie got angry when she heard this and said, "What are you talking about? This is the set of jewelry I replaced!"

Manager Xie's eyes dimmed immediately and he said, "Forget it, I'll go to the gambling house to find someone. The less I lose, the better."

Just as Aunt Xie was about to speak, she heard a knock on the door. She immediately became alert and asked, "Who?"

The couple was afraid that it was the gambling house that was collecting debts again.

"Mammy, it's me. I have something for you to do." Xie Xingchuan's voice came from outside the house.

Nanny Xie was no longer on guard and opened the door, only to see a large group of people coming in unexpectedly.

"Master, is there anything you want me to do so late at night?" asked Madam Xie.

Xie Xingchuan glanced at her.

Over the years, Xie Xingchuan was not a fool, so he could naturally feel that Aunt Xie's attitude towards him had changed several times.

From deceiving and coaxing at the beginning to being perfunctory later, her attitude finally became serious after she realized that Xie Xingchuan had a promising future.

Although he had the title of wet nurse, Xie Xingchuan knew that he was Zhang Yunniang's son and had never drunk any milk from Nanny Xie, so he did these things without any scruples.

"Search!" Xie Xingchuan gave an order, and the several skilled men following him all started to search the house.

Matron Xie and Steward Xie wanted to stop them, but someone immediately held them down.

"Young Master, what are you doing so late at night? I really don't know how I have offended you, young master?" Madam Xie asked with a puzzled look on her face.

Xie Xingchuan's eyes fell on the jewelry in her arms.

"Madam, since you knew that the jewelry was fake, why didn't you say it just now?" Xie Xingchuan asked with a smile.

Nanny Xie's heart sank. The thing she was most worried about had happened. If her own son had not owed a huge gambling debt, she would not have been so anxious to take action against Xie Xingchuan's private treasury.

"Master, I really don't know what you mean by this..." Nanny Xie still wanted to play dumb.

But Xie Xingchuan had already raised his hand and opened the set of gold jewelry in her arms, revealing the true appearance inside. "Master, you must have been deceived by a villain. I guess these treasures were replaced before entering the capital!" Aunt Xie was still trying to explain.

"Master, I found a bunch of pawn tickets!" Xiaosong handed a pile of tickets to Xie Xingchuan.

The pawn ticket will describe the pawned items in detail. At a glance, you can tell that these things were lost from Xie Xingchuan's warehouse. It seems that Madam Xie is very short of money, and all these things she stole from Xie Xingchuan's private warehouse are pawned.

It is possible to redeem things that are pawned alive, but it is very difficult to redeem things that are pawned dead.

"Mammy, you disappoint me so much." Xie Xingchuan said.

After struggling for a while, Aunt Xie spoke up and said, "Master, you grew up drinking my milk. When you were just a little kid, Madam sent me to serve you. Over the years, I have worked hard even though I have made no contributions..."

Xie Xingchuan looked at her and asked, "Did I really grow up drinking your milk?"

A trace of guilt flashed across Aunt Xie's eyes, but she still said stubbornly, "Of course, if it's not my milk, then who else is drinking it?"

Xie Xingchuan sneered and asked, "You must know more than anyone else about things that others don't know. Now tell me, whose child am I? And who is my mother?"

When Nanny Xie heard this, her expression changed drastically. She never thought that this secret was actually known by Xie Xingchuan.

"Whose child could you be? It must be Madam's child..." said Nanny Xie.

"Mammy, compared to my wet nurse, your master is still the lady. In that case, there's no need to be polite." Xie Xingchuan said.

When Aunt Xie heard this, she felt bad: "Master, what are you going to do? I am Madam's person? Are you going to go against Madam?"

Although Xie Xingchuan was curious about the truth of the past, he would not be controlled by a wet nurse. He glanced at Xiaosong and said, "Send the couple to the government office and treat them as thieves in the family."

"Young Master, you can't do this! If there is a traitor in the Xie family, the reputation of the entire general's mansion will be ruined! The general will not let you go!" Nanny Xie shouted.

Manager Xie was also anxious and said, "Master, we are willing to make up for the shortfall in the treasury. Please give us a chance to reform! I am the general's man, and the general does not want the scandal of his family to spread throughout the capital!"

Xiao Song glanced at Xie Xingchuan hesitantly and whispered, "Master, what Manager Xie said makes sense. If you don't care about your wife, you should at least care about the general!"

Xie Xingchuan said: "My father has always been strict in managing the army, so I think he can be more strict in managing the family. Send him to the government office."

Seeing that he still insisted, Xiaosong didn't say anything else. He waved to his brothers behind him, and a group of people immediately rushed forward, held down the couple and sent them to the yamen.

Mrs. Xie had a rare good night's sleep, but when she woke up, she heard someone beside her coming to report.

"Madam, the young master brought a group of people to Madam Xie's house last night and sent the couple to the Jingzhao government office!"

When Mrs. Xie heard this, she didn't react for a moment: "Why send him to the government office?"

"Stealing the master's property."

Madam Xie's face suddenly turned ugly: "What a bastard I raised. He has to bring such a small matter to the government office. Does he really think that he is the one in charge of the General's Mansion now?"

Mrs. Xie immediately asked someone to take General Xie's letter to Jingzhao Prefecture.

But last night, Xie Xingchuan almost urged the Jingzhao Prefecture to try the case overnight.

The prefect of Jingzhao Prefecture had just finished hearing a case and had been yawning all night. "Young General, these two people are indeed traitors. The evidence is irrefutable. How do you want to sentence them now?"
