famous concubine

Chapter 552 Father and Daughter Enmity (1)
With some certainty in her apprehension, she finally stopped walking as fast as before.

She walked slowly to the place where the gold and silver jewelry was placed, which was also packed in a large wooden box; this wooden box, which was originally very valuable, naturally could not escape the raging fire, and it was dutiful and loyal.

The old lady saw that the box made of nanmu had turned into useless charcoal, and her heart ached again.

However, the gold and silver jewelry stored in it all looked black on the surface.

The old lady felt pain in her heart and it never stopped.

Because at this moment, she suddenly understood that even if the heat of the fire was not enough to melt these gold and silver jewelry; but these silver jewelry, I am afraid that they have no use at all, even though their shape is still there, but the scorched black color can no longer change. Restored to its original silvery white.

In this way, these silver ornaments are worthless, leaving only a pile of residue to make her sad.

fortunately……

The old lady's eyes fell on those gold ornaments and gold ingots and gold leaves, and she sighed inwardly. Fortunately, gold is not afraid of fire, even if it is burnt black, it can be turned back to its original golden yellow color.

This time, she sighed again and again in her heart, she no longer had the hesitation and doubt before reaching out her hand, and the movements and gestures were very neat.

But as soon as her fingers touched those golden leaves that she thought she would not be afraid of fire, she immediately discovered in horror that these scorched golden leaves were so fragile that they were broken, not only broken, but also shattered, and even shattered. It must be merciless, just like the withered yellow leaves on the tree that have lost their moisture, they cannot withstand a little external force, and they shatter into horrible shapes when they are lightly pinched.

The old lady stared at the powdery gold leaf falling from her hand, her eyes were suddenly frightened, her eyeballs protruded, and she couldn't even turn her eyes.

And her expression was more like the inexplicable horror of seeing a ghost.

Even in her wildest dreams, she could never have imagined that these golden leaves, which looked so completely hard, would be shattered into powder when she lightly touched them with two fingers?
This huge contrast suddenly exceeded her mental capacity; she stared blankly at the black powder left on her fingers; her body shook suddenly, and then suddenly fell to the ground.

Due to the slow heat dissipation of the ground, it is still surprisingly hot at this moment.

The old lady sat down with her buttocks, and the part of her clothes and trousers that touched the ground immediately made a chilling sound.When the old lady was flustered, she never realized that her legs and butt were being scorched by the remaining heat from the ground.

After a while, she felt a burning pain in her buttocks; at this moment, she frowned belatedly, and exclaimed painfully: "Ouch!"

Because Mama Gui was busy with the aftermath, she didn't pay attention to the old lady's situation at all. Now, when she heard the old lady screaming in pain, she ran over in shock.

Poor old lady, under repeated blows, her buttocks and legs were scalded by the ground; even though mother Gui was helping her, she felt terrible pain even standing up, let alone walking by herself. .

However, the old lady limped with great difficulty. After Ms. Gui and Ms. Rong walked out of the scorching warehouse under the support of the photo frame, when she went over anxiously to check the jewelry that she had carried out for cleaning, she realized the most shocking thing. Things are yet to come.

The servants saw the old lady stumbling over, about to put the carefully wiped jewels into clean water to wash.

But when they saw her coming, everyone immediately bowed their heads and said respectfully: "Old madam."

"How is it? Are these jewels not damaged?" The old lady lowered her eyes and glanced at them indifferently, staring fixedly at the jewels in each of their hands.

Apart from the fact that these jewels don't feel right in the hand, other damages have not been seen for the time being.

But the servants will not tell the truth to the old lady.

"You guys start cleaning, I'll just watch here." The old lady was still not at ease, she didn't even care about her burned butt, and she even forgot how embarrassed and ridiculous she looked in front of her eyes.

Since she gave the order, the servants did not dare to neglect, and some people began to put the jewelry that had been lightly wiped off the dust into the clean water.And scrub it very gently.

The old lady just leaned on her crutches and stood beside them, watching helplessly.

The servant who was doing the cleaning was stared at by her, so he naturally felt very uncomfortable. The jewelry was immersed in the water, and she was a little nervous, and her strength was a little heavy.

In her hands, the jade jewels that were supposed to become brighter and brighter gradually became smaller, and all of them melted away in a blink of an eye and melted into the water.

When the servant felt that something was wrong, he lowered his head and took a serious look, and the clear water in the full bucket turned into a muddy state; while the jade and jewelry she had just cleaned had disappeared without a trace.

The servant was so frightened that he immediately fell to the ground; while the old lady had been standing by the side and watched helplessly, she had also witnessed such a strange situation with her own eyes.

"What's going on here? How can the good jade and jewelry disappear after being washed?" The old lady was so anxious that she didn't care to scold the servant, but squatted down awkwardly, and reached out in a panic to get the unwashed jewels. jade jewelry.

Then, her flustered eyes gradually turned into despair and sarcasm after she saw those so-called jade jewels one by one.

It's no wonder that these jade stones will disappear after being washed in clean water; originally...they weren't jade stones at all, but made of flour.

Flour is covered with a layer of mud, so it is not afraid of fire; but whether it is mud or flour, the two will melt when they meet water.

The old lady sat on the ground in despair, watching the jewels she had desperately snatched vanish into nothingness in an instant, her eyes turned black, this time she couldn't hold on any longer, her body leaned back violently, and fell down with a heavy thud.

The old lady here was so angry that she fainted; while the handsome young girl watched the hidden guards who were brought in by her to be free porters, after they emptied the old lady's treasury, under Mo Bai's stop, He had no choice but to follow him out of the Cijing Hall.

As for the things that were stolen by them, some of them were stored outside the house, and some of them were directly moved into the Shelter Pavilion of Luyi Garden.

"Xiaoyu, I said, why do you have to make yourself so tired, that old lady, just let her know that her greed will not have good results; and let yourself waste energy doing those things to make her happy."

Dongfangyu looked at the seductive man with a slightly complaining tone, blinked his malicious eyes, and said with a wicked smile: "Hey, Mo Bai, you don't understand; she is also my grandmother in name anyway, I How can you have the heart to make her despair. Naturally, you have to leave some thoughts and hope for her."

Mo Bai stared at her helplessly, with a smile that was not a smile, and tenderness and pampering in his eyes.
