Chapter 125 Not an ordinary peasant
Qin dragged her weak body and searched frantically in the house. After a long time, she had to accept the reality and sat down on the ground in despair.
Gone, her clothes, her jewelry, her gold and jewels, and the silver she had saved up with great effort, all disappeared overnight.
"You were sleeping there, and all the stuff in the house was missing, and you didn't know anything about it?"
Qin glared at Xu Jinran fiercely, the obvious suspicion in her eyes almost overflowing.
Could it be that this man took advantage of her accident yesterday and found an opportunity to move those things?
You have to know that he has been in the house all the time and has never left. If he says he knows nothing, he is almost lying.
"What can I know?"
Xu Jinran struggled to sit up. His waist was still a little painful, but it was better than yesterday. He frowned and looked at Qin with dissatisfaction.
"If you hadn't rushed in screaming, I wouldn't have known what you had lost. How could you have falsely pinned it on your man?"
He also turned his head and looked around, and found that a lot of things were indeed missing in the room.
You have to know that this woman loves money like her life. She won't let anyone else touch her things. Even if he, as her husband, wants to ask her for some private money, she will nag him for a long time.
"Besides, look at your man, his waist is almost broken, how can he take your shit?"
In order to clear himself of suspicion, Xu Jinran took the initiative to lift the hem of his shirt, and sure enough, there was a large purple bruise on his waist.
When the furious Qin saw the scar, she paused for a moment before looking away.
Humph, useless dog. He was just pushed and fell down lightly. There's no need to hurt him like this. He is really nothing.
Although I despised him in my heart, I had to admit what he said. He must have been lying in bed all night without getting up, let alone touching these things.
The two looked at each other, and an idea came to their minds at the same time.
A thief broke into the house and stole a lot of things.
What I don't know is, apart from the things lost in their third room, whether any thefts were found in other courtyards.
After thinking about it, Qin rushed out of the room, rushed to the gate of the yard, and started shouting loudly to the outside.
"Open the door! Go and tell your master that a lot of valuables have been lost in the third room, and ask her to send someone to investigate!"
She shouted several times but no one paid any attention to her outside, and the door would not open. The maids and servants in the yard all lowered their heads and dared not speak, for fear of bumping into their master's gun.
Qin had no idea that there was a lot of excitement outside and no one had the time to care about the life and death of their third room.
Early in the morning, Xu Qinghe drove the carriage, and Cui and Yuxiu, mother and daughter, brought some gifts and slowly came to the gate of Prince Ning's Mansion.
The gate of Prince Ning's Mansion was open. Princess Ning and the Second Wife had been waiting outside for a long time. When they saw the carriage approaching, they hurriedly went to greet it with a smile.
"Brother Xu, Madam Cui, Miss Xu, please come in quickly..."
Facing the smiling faces of Princess Ning and the Second Lady, Xu Qinghe smiled naively, bowed to them, and went to help Cui get out of the car with Yuxiu.
"You are so polite, Princess and Second Madam. These are just some small tokens of my appreciation. Please don't despise me."
Cui also greeted the two of them with a smile. Yuxiu quickly turned around and took out a few simple-looking boxes from the carriage.
Princess Ning quickly asked Mother Qiu to take people over to receive it. She smiled and said that they were too polite, and then she greeted them and walked into the gate of Prince Ning's Mansion.
Yuxiu looked around and could clearly feel the prying eyes on her.
However, although those people were staring at this side closely, Yuxiu did not sense any malicious intent from them, so she did not care about them. She just followed the crowd, followed Cui and Xu Qinghe, and walked towards Prince Ning's Mansion.
He still went to see the old princess first. Cui took her pulse, nodded with great satisfaction, wrote down two new prescriptions, and asked someone to get them quickly.
Today, without the couple from the third room causing trouble, everything went smoothly. Not long after, Nanny Lin came over to report that the medicine soup was ready.
Cui and Yuxiu helped the old princess over, and the door of the room was closed again. Princess Ning and the second wife looked at each other, and they were both very expectant.
Because Xu Jinran did not come and there were no other male masters in the mansion, Xu Qinghe was led to the front hall by the housekeeper.
Anyway, the old butler brought Xu Qinghe back from outside. Although it was for the sake of the old princess' illness, it actually saved Xu Qinghe's life. The two of them spent so many days together and became very familiar with each other.
"Mr. Xu, please have some tea..."
The old butler placed a cup of hot tea in front of Xu Qinghe, which made him feel embarrassed.
"Uncle Wang, please call me Qinghe. I was born a peasant. It's embarrassing for me to suddenly call me master."
Xu Qinghe felt a little embarrassed and asked the old butler to sit down with him.
The old butler's real name was Wang Gui, and the maids and servants in the mansion all called him Uncle Wang.
Xu Qinghe had been with him for so long that he was used to calling him Uncle Wang.
"You are a real person who never shows your true colors. With your family background, if you are a peasant, you are definitely not an ordinary peasant."
The old butler also sat down. He really didn't expect that Xu Qinghe's wife would be a member of the Divine Doctor Sect.
That appearance, that demeanor, and that superb medical skills, could not possibly be what he said, that he was a peasant who made a living by farming every day and had to find time to go to the mountains to chop wood and cut grass.
The old housekeeper just thought that they were living in seclusion in the mountains and that was why they had to do everything by themselves, so he didn't pay much attention to it.
Xu Qinghe knew that this matter could not be explained clearly. Even if he told everything in his heart, no one would believe him. They would only think that he was being modest and not telling the truth.
"If Uncle Wang hadn't saved my life that day, I would probably be dead now, and I wouldn't have waited for my wife and children to find me..."
Xu Qinghe didn't want to explain any more, so he took out a small bottle from his arms and handed it to the old butler.
"I've noticed that you always complain about your legs and feet not being in good condition. This pill was prepared by my wife herself. If you trust us, try it first."
When he got up early this morning, Cui and Yuxiu had filled the table with medicine bottles and pills, and asked him to help pack them up and seal them with wax. He casually mentioned the old housekeeper's matter, and Cui let him take a bottle himself.
