Chapter 33 Death Talisman


Chapter 33 Reminder

“That’s not all,” Zhang Ma said, pulling out a piece of paper folded in a square shape from her sleeve, and slowly opened it, “Listen, there are two places where pots are cooked in the south of the city, and in the west of the city. A Zhuangzi and an incense and candle shop on Miaofa Street are all owned by you, Chen Youde.

I remember that you were just the head of our Zhuangzi before. Such a lot of property is your one hundred. Even Chen Youde can't make money.

It can be seen that you have done a lot of good for yourself in recent years.

I heard that you pretended to use a bank note to deceive the master today, saying that you were using your family property. Sold it to compensate for the house’s losses. Haha, I wonder if it’s a few hundred taels?”

"This..." The Chen family's face instantly turned gray, but they still refused to deny it: "You are so slanderous! How did I ever have so much wealth?"

"I tell you, I can't deny it today no matter what. Do you know who told us this?" Zhang Ma shook off the paper in her hand.

Chen Youde looked at the piece of paper like a reminder. He really didn't expect Zhang Ma to know his details so well.

The first thing that ranked first in his heart at this time was not panic or regret, but curiosity: "You...how did you know?"

Mother Zhang snorted and said: "Your wife Lu told me."

"How is that possible?! She...she has been dead a long time ago!" Chen Youde looked like he had seen a ghost.

"Yes, everyone knows that three years ago she went back to her hometown. She was robbed by thieves on the way, had her money taken away and pushed off the cliff." Zhang Ma sighed, "But her life should not be cut off. She was killed by someone on the cliff. Shu was stopped.

She was not robbed at all. You thought she was a burden, so you had her silenced. Before pushing her down, the murderer made a point of telling her the whole story, in order to avoid being chased by the ghost. Ask for your own life and tell her that the wrongdoer has his fault! A few days ago, Mrs. Lu found the truth and told her the property that you had stolen. ”
< br>"It's actually...she!" Chen Youde fell to the ground, his eyes separated.

Mr. Lu knew his true identity so well that it was useless to deny it.

"Chen Quede, Mrs. Lu, you have been married to her for more than thirty years, but for your own selfish desires, you killed your wife who had endured hardships with you and raised your children. What are your intentions? Cruel!"

"I...why don't I feel guilty? But she is too nagging and stingy...she holds every penny tightly in her hands and doesn't allow me to enjoy anything. Now that you are old, why can't you enjoy yourself as much as you want?" Chen Youde felt guilty at first, but then he gradually became angry.

His face was ferocious and spittle flew everywhere, like a crazy old dog.

Everyone present was shocked after hearing what he said.

When Chen Youde's wife died, he looked devastated. Everyone sympathized with him and thought he was kind and righteous.

Who would have thought that he could be so cruel.

"Master, you have also seen it. Chen Youde's character is so low, how can you trust what he said?

Something was lost in the warehouse, and it was determined that Zhu Dashun did it based on just one word. , the three members of the Zhu family were driven out of the capital.

I was even suspected of this. It was really an injustice

Although I was the only one who lost that thing when I was at home, but thinking about it on the other hand, am I that stupid? Is it possible that he is guarding and stealing because he is afraid that he can stay in this house for a long time?

To put it bluntly, although I transferred Zhu Dashun, how many pairs of eyes in this mansion are staring at me. A new servant is actually able to steal and sell the stolen goods smoothly. Is this because there is a god secretly helping him? ”

Wen Mingqian shifted the blame from Chen Youde to the warehouse error, as if he had shot someone back.

Because Gong Xu had already determined that she had instigated this incident, and even did not even think about it at all. Don't listen to explanations

If you come to him about this matter, he will either avoid it or be stubborn.

This is like the story of Tomoko who is suspicious of his neighbor. He thinks who stole something, and the more he looks at it, the more similar he becomes. And instinctively trust those who are close to oneself, and reject those who are alienated from oneself. Not to mention Gong Xu as an ordinary person, there have been many wise monarchs and wise and brave heroes, but they cannot escape the temptation of slander.

What's more, Gong Xu almost obeyed the Song family, but hated herself to the extreme.

Under such a situation, extraordinary methods must be used to break the situation.

Zhang Ma beat up Chen Youde. Chen Youde was not willing to be humiliated, so naturally he asked Gong Xu to punish Zhang Ma.

Since he brought Zhang Ma to see Gong Xu, he could come there naturally.

And the Song family and others will not be on guard, because they also want to take this opportunity to punish Wen Mingqian's master and servant.

Unexpectedly, I came prepared.

The truth about Butler Chen was exposed in public, and his illusion of loyalty was shattered.

Wen Mingqian’s voice is not high-pitched, but every word is loud and clear.

This time Gong Xu did not glare at her again, but remained silent.

"Chen Youde, does the theft from the warehouse have something to do with you?" Zhang Ma coughed, her eyes looking past Mrs. Yang.

Mother Yang couldn't help but feel a little chilly. She and the housekeeper were originally on the same team, but at this time they had no choice but to abandon their soldiers to protect the commander.

"Steward Chen, the young lady is not kind to you. How could you do such a thing?" Mrs. Yang said while staring at Chen Youde.

Chen Youde had better admit all this matter so as not to implicate them.

Butler Chen raised his head and glanced at her, then at Mrs. Song, without saying a word, he lowered his head.

Ms. Song couldn't sit still. She originally just wanted to wait and see what happened, and fan the flames when the time was right.

But I didn’t expect that Wen Mingqian actually had a trump card, and it was an inside story that he didn’t even know.

"Steward Chen, I really didn't expect you to be such a person. I'm really disappointed in you." Mrs. Song looked at Chen Youde with pain and disgust.

She really didn’t know that Chen Youde was so greedy. She usually gave him benefits, but who would have thought that he would be so greedy!

"Little madam, please save me! Although I have done something wrong, I have really contributed to the family these years!" Chen Youde knelt down and kowtowed.

Ms. Song heard something in his words. If Butler Chen was really pushed into a hurry, he would definitely drag himself into the water.

"Master, this is all my fault. I didn't recognize the person clearly. Please punish me!" Mrs. Song apologized to Gong Xu with a face of shame.

She promoted Butler Chen, and everyone knew that he was her confidant. Now that something like this happened, it would be unreasonable for her not to express her stance.

“It’s not your fault,” Gong Xu still instinctively defended the Song family, “It’s difficult to paint a dragon or a tiger, not to mention that even I was deceived by him.”

"I wonder what the master plans to do with him?" Mrs. Song asked, "Do you want to send him to an official position or keep him private?"

After saying this, the room suddenly fell silent, and there was a sound of a needle dropping.

After a while, Gong Xu finally spoke: "How do you plan to deal with it?"

He asked Wen Mingqian.
