ugly concubine world

Chapter 24 is calculated

The news of the robbery of the goods was reported by the manager of the shop in the rainstorm.

Mrs. Yang was having a headache, and Mama Zhang massaged her head skillfully.

"Old madam, if the third lady comes here later, I'm afraid there will be trouble for a while."

Yang frowned, as long as she thought of Xia Qingxiao, she would inevitably have a headache, and replied angrily: "Nao? Where is her Xia family? As long as her surname is Xia, don't even think about it under my eyelids." Make trouble under the roof. She can't find the palm of my hand."

"What the old lady said is that even if the third lady becomes more courageous, she dares to resist the old lady, but her future is in the hands of the old lady. I hope she can be more sensible and know what to do Do what you shouldn't do." Ever since she was reprimanded by Xia Qingxiao last time, she harbored hatred in her heart, a person who was not respected at all in the mansion, dared to reprimand her!It can be said that Xia Qingxiao's status in the mansion is not as good as hers at all!
"Old lady, shopkeeper Qin is here." A servant's report came from outside the door.

"Shopkeeper Qin? Why is he here? Didn't he go to Zhou Town with the money he bought?" Zhang Ma asked in surprise.

Sensing something was wrong, Yang sat up straight and ordered in a deep voice: "Let him in."

After Shopkeeper Qin came in, his face was as pale as snow, his head was sweating profusely, and he fell to his knees with a plop, "Old lady, all the money used to buy the goods has been robbed!"

"What?!" Yang was shocked, and her eyes went black for a while, that was a lot of money!
Zhang Ma hurriedly asked: "Shopkeeper Qin, what's going on? Every time I go to buy goods, there are always guards with me? And there has never been an accident in these years, how could I be robbed suddenly? Yes, we are taking the official path, there were robbers in the official path before, but don't we give them some benefits every year?"

Shopkeeper Qin wiped the sweat from his brow, and replied without tears: "It is true that they bribed the robbers on the road, but this group of robbers is another group! They came here quietly, and they used tricks to lure The guards left. We went after them later, but the group ran so fast that we couldn't track them down."

"How could this be? Could it be that someone has been following you for a long time?" Zhang Ma asked in shock.

"I don't know either. I'll report to the authorities first when I get back." Shopkeeper Qin was in distress. He hadn't had any accidents for so many years. He didn't have any precautions at all, and the guards he found used very little money. Hired, so there is no way to deal with the robbers' small tricks.

But if something happened, he couldn't escape the responsibility at all.Yang has always treated these servants harshly, he will definitely not end well this time!Fortunately, he was already prepared on the way here.

"What a slave! Even something like this can go wrong!" Yang said angrily after recovering.

Shopkeeper Qin wiped his sweat and replied: "There is someone who intends to rob, and the servant can't help it." If he had known that he would be robbed, he would have kept half of the money in private!It's better than being accused by Yang now.

"Get out! Get out of here! From now on, everything about the shop has nothing to do with you! Useless things! A waste of my trust in you!" Yang stroked her chest, her heart hurting, this time she went to buy goods, It was the goods for the next whole year, and all the ten thousand taels of silver were robbed!

Huge loss like never before!It's equivalent to three years' expenses of the Xia family!Fortunately, the Xia family has a strong foundation, so the ten thousand taels of silver is nothing, but it still made Yang's angry.

Shopkeeper Qin's lips curled into a sneer, as if he still wanted to stay?To meet such a calculating master like Yang's who treats his servants harshly, it would be bad luck for eight lifetimes!After leaving the Xia family, he can make a living wherever he goes!

After Shopkeeper Qin left, Mama Zhang asked: "Old Madam, if Shopkeeper Qin is not used, the shop will be left unattended for the time being, and there are not many stocks in the shop. If you don't buy goods as soon as possible, it will affect the business."

Mrs. Yang made a decision in a fit of anger. Now she regrets what Zhang Ma said. In fact, many people have been robbed. This is the first time she has been robbed in decades, so it is normal to be angry. Although she has reported to the police, Don't think that the government can find the robber, even if the robber is found, the money will not be returned to her.But shopkeeper Qin is too incompetent!It is useless for the incompetent to stay.

"Let your husband manage the shop temporarily, I trust him." Yang thought that there was one person available, and that was Mama Zhang's husband.

Zhang Ma heard the words, she was happy in her heart, but she didn't dare to show it on the face, after all, the Yang family just lost a lot, "As long as the old lady believes it, he will definitely do his best."

The two of them thought of some things too simply. Because of Yang's behavior, shopkeeper Qin had long been dissatisfied, and because of his dissatisfaction, he had some hatred. After leaving, he took the waiter in the shop to Yang's nemesis in the shop.

And not long after, the Yang family suffered heavy losses. Even though he regretted it, he asked someone to invite shopkeeper Qin back, but shopkeeper Qin ignored him.However, that's another story.

……

The storm came and went quickly, and in just half an hour, the dark clouds dispersed.

After the rain stopped, Xia Qingxiao went to sleep after eating lunch.

It was dusk when I woke up.

She slept for a long time, her mind was chaotic, she yawned a few times, stretched her waist, put on her clothes, and prepared to go to Mrs. Zhao. Moving out of Xia's house should be on the agenda as soon as possible.

Both parents were not there.

It's dinner time now, but it's a little surprising that Mrs. Zhao and Xia Weixing are not here.

"Why aren't father and mother here?" Xia Qingxiao asked.

"Miss San, don't you know? Master and Madam have already left for the capital this afternoon after the rain stopped!" Dong Xue, the maidservant, replied in surprise.

Go to the capital? !

Xia Qingxiao's eyes turned cold, and she asked coldly, "Why did you go to the capital?"

To leave silently while she was taking a nap, Mrs. Zhao would never do that.What happened?
Dong Xue looked blank, "I don't know, I heard that the master and madam left very quickly, and the madam didn't have time to say goodbye to Miss San. I don't know the specific reason."

Before Dong Xue's voice fell, Xia Qingxiao had already left quickly to see Mrs. Yang!
On the way, Xia Qingxiao's face was cold and her thoughts were spinning. There must be a reason for her parents to go to the capital together. What exactly does Yang want to do?
Or, what do you want to use your parents to threaten her?
-

"She can sleep, and she has been sleeping until now without any movement." Xia Wanjiao asked her servants to inquire, and the news they got back was that Xia Qingxiao was still taking a nap.

Xia Chujun devoted himself to practicing calligraphy, and when he heard the words, he replied in a gentle voice: "She should go to see her grandmother when she wakes up, and she will come to me after knowing the truth about her parents going to the capital." It is good for Xia Qingxiao to become smarter, It means not being reckless.
