"How do you manage the house? Why did this warehouse suddenly catch fire? You, you..." Seeing Guo Yuanshuang, he became angry. The things in this warehouse are a big deal, and many valuables at home are inside. But it will destroy a lot of good things, this is a big deal!
"Mother, my daughter-in-law doesn't know about this. My daughter-in-law has already been guarded by others. My daughter-in-law, my daughter-in-law doesn't know why things have become like this!" Seeing Mrs. Shen so angry, Guo Yuanshuang felt aggrieved. Although she was a bit hypocritical, she pushed the matter away completely, "Mother, it's not the daughter-in-law's fault. When the daughter-in-law went back to rest tonight, she told her to be careful. It must be some servant who was lazy. Otherwise, why would the warehouse burn down?"
"Even if that's the case, it's your negligence. Didn't you think you were going to separate the family, so you slacked off? Let me tell you, my old woman is not dead yet, so don't play tricks in front of me!"
"Mother, my daughter-in-law doesn't dare, how can my daughter-in-law dare?"
"I'll settle the score with you later, come on, hurry up and put out the fire!"
"Yes, old lady!"
The servants hurriedly went to fetch water to put out the fire. Mrs. Shen was standing there on crutches, and she was also anxious. At this moment, Shen Wenhua and Shen Wenli all came. Is it on fire?"
"It's probably because the servants are not dedicated, and now we have to put out the fire first, and we'll talk about it later." It was a good New Year's Eve, but it turned out like this. Mrs. Shen felt very unlucky, and there was nowhere to vent the anger in her heart. .
"Mother, don't get angry. The things in this warehouse are all dead things. It's not worth getting angry!" Looking at the thick smoke, Shen Wenli's eyes flashed an inexplicable light. Seeing the anxious look on Shen Wenhua's face, Shen Wenli felt a burst of joy in his heart.
Hmph, aren't we going to split up? He would like to see how it will be divided then!
"What do you know? Shut up!" These days, Shen Wenli has really hurt his heart. Seeing Shen Wenli's nonchalant expression now, Mrs. Shen suddenly became angry. Shen Wenli saw Mrs. Shen like this The son didn't say anything more, "Okay, mother, I won't talk anymore, don't talk anymore, don't be angry!"
"You, you..." Unexpectedly, Shen Wenli didn't care about something as big as the fire in the warehouse. Looking at the light in the eyes of her youngest son, Mrs. Shen only felt chills in her heart.
This is her son? Although the family is separated now, this is the property of the Shen family after all, so he can't see the big house that much, okay
Hey, it is said that a loving mother loses her life. Was she wrong all these years
Reflecting on her own mistakes in her heart, the thick smoke gradually dissipated at this moment, Mrs. Shen hurriedly asked someone to check, really worried that something good had been destroyed, "But what? Is there anything burning?"
"Don't worry, old lady, but a corner of the storeroom was burned, and there are no valuables there, so it's okay." When the servant said this, Old Shen Furen breathed a sigh of relief, but the expressions of Guo Yuanshuang and Shen Wenli suddenly changed. It became ugly, "But really? Didn't anything burn?" How could it be? It was obviously a big fire, and everything in this warehouse should have been burnt clean!
"Second Madam, don't worry, although it is burning, but due to the thick snow accumulated on the roof of the warehouse, some fires have been extinguished, and some damp wood is added, so the smoke was so thick just now. Nothing is burning There is nothing in the warehouse for valuables."
"Yes, is it?" Feeling flustered for no reason, Guo Yuanshuang and Shen Wenli looked at each other, wanting to say something, Mrs. Shen hurriedly ordered, "Since there is nothing wrong, hurry up and ask the housekeeper to come over and take care of yourself." Check the items and see that they are all complete!" Although nothing is burning, Mrs. Shen is still a little worried, there are things in the warehouse, medicinal materials, and rare treasures. It's not good.
"Yes, old lady!"
"Mother, you old man go back to rest first, just leave this place to us." Guo Yuanshuang saw that Mrs. Shen was going to check the warehouse, and his heart tensed. He just wanted to send Mrs. Shen away first, so as not to leave later something happened.
"I'm fine. The most important thing now is to see if there is anything wrong with the warehouse. If something is really broken, I'd better find out as soon as possible, so as not to lose too much." Close to the warehouse, Mrs. Shen is willing to leave wherever, Guo Yuanshuang He and Shen Wenli were also anxious, thinking about the replacement items they randomly brought in in the warehouse, what would they do if they were discovered
"Mother, your old man is tired tonight. The warehouse is fine now, so you don't have to worry about it. Your body is important. There are us and your elder brother here. What are you worried about!" Shen Wenli smiled and was about to help old lady Shen leave. Seeing how caring her second son was, the old lady hesitated. At this moment, Shen Wenhua said, "Second brother, second sister, mother is also worried about the warehouse. If you let her go back like this, she will be even more worried. Let's check it out here quickly, so that mother's heart will be at ease." The fire tonight is really too strange, the warehouse has always been the most important thing, and it will catch fire easily. And it's not too early or too late, it happens to be New Year's Eve, when everyone is tired from vigil, but luckily the fire isn't too big, if it gets big, wouldn't it be bad
Shen Wenhua was already a little suspicious in his heart, but seeing the difference in expressions between Guo Yuanshuang and Shen Wenli, he became even more suspicious. Of course, they couldn't just let Mrs. Shen go.
"Brother, what do you mean? My mother is old and not in good health. Is it okay to blow the cold wind here?" Seeing Shen Wenhua saying this, Shen Wenli immediately became angry, and pointedly pointed at Shen Wenhua's unfilial piety, and Shen Wenhua frowned. , wanted to say something, but suddenly saw a fire not far away.
"It's not good, it's not good, it's flooded!" The voice sounded again, and everyone felt very uneasy. Looking in the direction of the fire, isn't it the place where the second room lives
"Second, is that where you live?"
"Ah, how did this happen, how did it catch fire?" Guo Yuanshuang reacted first, and immediately became anxious.
"Why did it catch fire all of a sudden? Has anyone put out the fire?"
"Second Master, Second Master, you guys, go and have a look, the fire is very big!"
"God, master, we, we..." Guo Yuanshuang was really worried about going to fight the fire, but there were still many things in the house. But here...
Hesitantly, although both of them wanted to go back and look at it, they couldn't rest assured here, they were really worried.
"Why are you hesitating, why don't you go quickly, if this house burns, there will be nothing left!" Mrs. Shen really feels a headache at the moment, the warehouse has just been settled, and the second room is out. The question is, what's going on here
"But mother, here in the warehouse..." They went, what should we do here in the warehouse? Shen Wenli also had a headache at the moment.
"You go, I'm here in the warehouse, I'll settle it!" Shen Wenhua stood up at this time, he didn't expect the second room to be on fire, but at this stall, Shen Wenhua's heart is also It's getting weirder.
What has actually happened
"But..." The two of them looked at each other, they couldn't put down the things in the house, and they couldn't leave it alone. They were in a dilemma for a while, but at this moment, the servant urged, "Second master, second lady, the house, the house is on fire!" It’s so hot!” Another urging came, and at this time Mrs. Shen heard it and became anxious, “Hurry up and take a look!”
"Yes, mother, let's go now!" At this moment, they didn't care too much, and the two left in a hurry. When Shen Jingshu saw her, an inexplicable light flashed in her eyes, and she looked at Mrs. Feeling relieved, she hurried over, "Grandmother, the fire is quite big, why don't we go and have a look!" If you don't go and see, how will such a good play end then
"There are still people needed in the warehouse!"
"Mother, don't worry, there is a housekeeper here to check, nothing will happen, my son will watch here!" Shen Wenhua said appropriately, everything tonight is too strange, Shen Wenhua also had to score 12 points Here comes the spirit.
"Grandmother, let's go. There is Daddy here. The second uncle and second uncle's house seems to be burning badly. Let's go and see if we can help."
"Alright, let's go, let's go and have a look!" There is Shen Wenhua here, and Mrs. Shen is also relieved. She was also worried when she saw the fire just now, and now she is also anxious.
"Grandma, I'll help you go with me!"
"Okay!" Walked quickly, and when he arrived, he could only hear Guo Yuanshuang's crying, "Oh my God, there is nothing, nothing, my house, woo woo..." This time it was played There are so many loan sharks, and a lot of subsidies have been paid a few days ago, and the money embezzled by Erfang over the years has basically been paid into it. Now that the separation is imminent, the house has been set on fire, so what should I do
"How did you people serve you? Why did it suddenly catch fire? Didn't anyone notify you?"
"Second Master, please forgive me, Second Master, I don't know what happened, I suddenly caught fire. The fire spread so fast, I can't do anything about it!" The second room suddenly caught fire, and everyone went to I was busy putting out the fire in the warehouse, and when I realized it, the second room was already on fire. The houses of Shen Wenli and Guo Yuanshuang were burned extremely badly, and it was really difficult to deal with.
"My jewelry, hurry up, go and take it out, or it will be gone!" Guo Yuanshuang thought of his jewelry, and was anxious, afraid that they would be gone, but fortunately, someone took them out, "Two Ma'am, the jewelry box is here, the servant girl saw that it was on fire, so she went in and took it immediately!" This maid is Guo Yuanshuang's personal servant girl, when the fire broke out just now, she saw the jewelry box at the door, so she went to get it immediately. At that time, I also wanted to receive a reward, so naturally I didn't say much.
"Really, let me have a look!" Now because of worry, Guo Yuanshuang opened it without thinking too much, but when he opened it, several sheets of paper fell out immediately, but there were not many pieces of jewelry. I felt a little nervous in my heart, "This..."
"What is this?" Looking at the big characters on the paper, Mrs. Shen narrowed her eyes, and asked someone to show it to herself. When she saw it, she was so angry that she shook, "Guo Yuanshuang, tell me, what is this?" ?”
"Mother, here, mother, listen to me!"
"You, you dare to put usury money, is this money random? Where are you going to put the face of our Shen family?" Their Shen family is a noble family, how could they do this? matter? Mrs. Shen looked at Guo Yuanshuang with anger now.
The family is unfortunate, the family is unfortunate, she shouldn't have found a daughter of a small family in order to prevent her youngest son from being wronged, what does this sound like? The daughter-in-law of a rich family, whoever wants face, who will give us usury
"Mother, I..." What did I want to say, Guo Yuanshuang knew that he had died a miserable death, and before he had time to explain, he could only feel the burning pain in his cheek, "You bitch, who told you to give us usury? "It was also the first time for Shen Wenli to know that Guo Yuanshuang was giving loan sharks behind his back. Although he didn't care about it, he still wanted to put on a show in front of Mrs. Shen now!
"Master, isn't this concubine doing all this for the sake of this family? Without the interest of these loan sharks from my concubine, where did you get so much money all these years?"
"You, you shameless bitch, shut up!" He stretched out his hand and slapped him again. Shen Wenli had to take off his clothes right now, otherwise Mrs. Shen didn't specify how to look at him!
This ignorant woman is holding him back!
"Master, you can't treat my concubine like this. If it wasn't for the loan sharks that my concubine gave me all these years, do you think you would be able to live so happily?" At this point, Guo Yuanshuang knew that nothing he said was useless. Shen Wenli was so cruel, Guo Yuanshuang simply broke the jar.
"You, what nonsense are you talking about? When did I take these loan sharks?"
"Hmph, isn't there? Master, how much is your salary that allows you to spend time and money, and raise so many concubines? This is all given by the concubine!" Thinking of how hard he has worked all these years, but in the end he got such a result, Guo Yuanshuang didn't care anymore, and Shen Wenli was unkind, so don't blame her for being unrighteous. Now, she can't let the other party succeed, and let herself bear all the faults alone!
She's not that stupid! Shen Wenhua is the son of the Shen family, but she is not. If she is really the only one carrying it, she may not be able to hold her head up for the rest of her life! But if Shen Wenli is dragged into the water, maybe she can still save herself!
"You, shut up!" Kicked Guo Yuanshuang fiercely. Shen Wenli did not expect Guo Yuanshuang to speak like this this time. If she is cruel, she will naturally resist.
"Master, you are so cruel. When you asked me for money these years, you never asked where the money came from? If it wasn't for the usury, do you think your life can be so happy?"
"Shut up!"
"I can't stop talking, you are also involved in this matter, master, don't pretend you don't know!"
"You, you spitting blood!" He would never admit to this matter. Mrs. Shen hated such things the most, and Shen Wenli knew it. What he has done these days has already dissatisfied Mrs. Shen, if anything happens again, he will not want to please Mrs. Shen again.
"Where did I spout blood? Master, you are wronged!" She is not a fool, the other party wants to put all the faults on herself, so many faults, she can't bear it!
"You, you..." Shen Wenli was also pissed off by Guo Yuanshuang at this moment, and was about to make a move. Seeing the two people like this, Mrs. Shen was furious, "Stop it, and treat me like an old woman dead?"
"Mother, don't dare!" Seeing that Mrs. Shen was shaking with anger, the two of them were also a little scared, and now they hurriedly stopped. Mrs. Shen stabilized her body that could not stand up straight, and her whole body was shaking. "You, you are so kind, so kind!"
"Mother!"
"You put the fire out, you guys, go back to me, I have something to ask you!" Taking a deep look at the two of them, Mrs. Shen's face was full of disappointment. She never thought that the second room that she had always loved , turned out to be like this.
Putting loan sharks, such a lack of experience, actually came from her Shen family. If it gets out, how will she see people in the future? Wouldn't the reputation of the Shen family for so many years be completely ruined
It's a crime, it's really a crime! What evil did she do!
"Mother, I don't, you have to trust your son!"
"Mother, the daughter-in-law is also forced to do nothing, mother!"
"Okay, don't talk about it. Go back to the house first!" This is not the place to talk, Mrs. Shen looked disappointed, and planned to go back to the room and ask slowly. They just returned to Mrs. Shen's yard , Mrs. Shen watched Shen Wenhua hurrying over, "Boss, what's the matter? Everything in the warehouse has been cleared." Seeing Shen Wenhua's expression changed, Mrs. Shen couldn't help but feel a little worried.
"Mother, when I was sorting out the treasury's finances, I found some problems. My son didn't know what to say." Looking at the person in the second room, Shen Wenhua's brows were tightly frowned, and it seemed that he was not in a good mood.
"Why are you hesitating, just say it!" Seeing Shen Wenhua like this, Mrs. Shen's heart was pounding, looking at Shen Wenhua's expression, she was really uneasy.
"Mother, many of the valuable things in the warehouse are missing, and some of them are not real, but look like imitations. My son is quite puzzled by this, so I want to ask my younger siblings to see if they are real. what happened?"
"You said it, but it's true?" Unexpectedly, Mrs. Shen looked at Guo Yuanshuang, and suddenly beat him with a cane, "Tell me what's going on? Why did you lose something?" Take all precautions, this family is hard to guard against thieves, is it possible that this second daughter-in-law has dirty hands and feet
"Mother, mother, I..." Being exposed, Guo Yuanshuang was also anxious at the moment, and after a while, she really couldn't find any excuses.
"Tell me clearly, what's going on?" Seeing Guo Yuanshuang's hesitation, Mrs. Shen became anxious, and Shen Wenli, who was at the side, saw that the incident had happened, and also remained silent there, thinking how to let herself leave. Clearing the relationship, he couldn't think of it for a while, so he could only remain silent.
"Daughter-in-law, daughter-in-law doesn't know, mother, daughter-in-law doesn't know what's going on. The things in the warehouse are all in the register, and they are all guarded by special personnel. Brother, did you read it wrong?" If she refuses to admit it to death, Guo Yuanshuang dare not even think about what will happen to her!
"How could I be wrong? I can tell the truth from the fake, and many of the items in the register can't be found. Can I still talk nonsense?"
"Brother, the warehouse was on fire just now, maybe it's burning!"
"There is nothing burning in the warehouse, and there is not much damage to the house. How could it be burning? And those lost things are all jewels. Even if they burn, there will still be shadows. How could they disappear?"
"Well, I don't know about this. This must be the pocket of the guard in the warehouse! He quietly sold these things, and today he is afraid of being discovered by us, so he came out like that. Maybe today's fire is his. Let it go. Big Brother should hurry up and arrest that person, and you will know as soon as you ask!" Guo Yuanshuang said this confidently, and she had already given a large sum of money to the person guarding the warehouse, and now she also sent someone to Silently, what she did was flawless, and now she was found out, and someone was scapegoating her, so she wasn't worried at all!
"Really? Brother and sister, is it really the person who guards the warehouse who did this?"
"Of course it is. He has guarded the warehouse for many years and knows everything in the warehouse. Maybe he can't resist the temptation and sell it secretly!"
"So that's the case, but why, what I heard is different from my siblings?"
"Brother, what does this mean?"
"I've already captured this man, do you want to hear what he said?"
"It's impossible!" She had already been silenced, how could that be
"Why is it impossible?" Seeing Guo Yuanshuang's obviously guilty look, Shen Wenhua remembered that when he sent someone to arrest Liu Yi who was guarding the warehouse, Liu Yi was almost killed, and he had many guesses in his heart. Now, he It is basically certain.
"Brother, are you sure it was him you caught?"
"Of course, I remember that the guard in the warehouse is a man named Liu Yi, right? Come on, come on!"
"yes!"
Soon, a man was pushed up. Seeing so many people, the man immediately knelt down, "Madam, please forgive me! Slave, I know I was wrong!"
"You said, what happened in the warehouse today was caused by you? Why did you run away late at night?"
"My lord, my lord, this slave is also forced to do nothing. The second lady made me do this, and she wants you to kill me to silence her. My lord, my slave, I can't do anything about it!"
"Then tell me, everything in this warehouse is gone, what's going on?"
"These are all done by the second lady. The second lady took them and sold them. The master has nothing to do with slaves!"
"Is what you said true?" Mrs. Shen has been silent, watching the development of the situation, she is also very contradictory and surprised. Looking at Liu Yi now, listening to Liu Yi's words, she just feels very angry It's all painful.
"Old lady, what the servant said is true. Old lady, the servant is just a small servant. The second lady has been in charge of the housework these years. If she wants to move things in the warehouse, the servant, the servant can't stop it! Today the second lady Let the servant set fire to the warehouse, but the servant refuses, but the servant's family is in the hands of the second lady, the servant is forced to do nothing, the old lady spares her life!"
"Then tell me, why did she do this?"
"This slave doesn't know. I only know that the second wife has recently sold a lot of good things from the storeroom. Now that the family is going to be separated, the second wife is afraid of being found out, so she asked the slave to set it on fire. The other slaves don't know. Madam, please forgive me!"
"You, good, good you Guo Yuanshuang, tell me, why are you doing this? I have trusted you so much these years and let you be the housekeeper. You are greedy for petty gains on weekdays, so I just turn a blind eye. The things in this warehouse belong to the Shen family, how could you just sell them off?"
"Mother, don't listen to his nonsense! He's just a servant who slanders his daughter-in-law because he's afraid of being blamed. Mother has to decide for her!"
"Old lady, what the servant said is true, and the servant also recorded the things that the second lady secretly sold. The old lady must trust the servant!"
"You, don't talk nonsense!"
"Old lady, the second lady is so cruel, she wanted the lives of the servant's family! If the old man hadn't come, the servant's family would have died. Old lady, the old lady must be the master of the servant!"
"Mother, daughter-in-law, daughter-in-law is wronged, master, master, you have something to say to my concubine!" Now that this situation has come, Guo Yuanshuang knew it was not good when he saw Mrs. Shen's face, so he had to pull Shen Wenli, hoping that Shen Wenli would be able to help her.
"You poisonous woman, how could you do such a thing?" Seeing the situation like this, Shen Wenli could only put aside his relationship with Guo Yuanshuang. How could he beg for mercy at this time
"Master, how can you be so cruel?"
"You have done something like this, just admit your mistake, but don't ask me to go into the water, I don't know anything!" Now, self-protection is the last word, Shen Wenli has always been a selfish person, I'm sure I won't be wading through this muddy water right now.
"Master, what are you talking about? You..."
"Okay, shut up!" Mrs. Shen said suddenly, meaning to stop Guo Yuanshuang. Seeing Mrs. Shen like this, Guo Yuanshuang was filled with panic, "Mother, you have to trust your daughter-in-law, daughter-in-law..."
"Guo Yuanshuang, I really didn't expect you to be such a person. What have you done all these years without telling me? The two children were taught by you to be defiant, arrogant and self-willed, and you also filled your own pockets. You really treat me as the son of my Shen family. Do all the things belong to your Guo family? You can take it if you want, sell it if you want it?" Leaning on crutches, Mrs. Shen's body was shaking, which shows how much anger she is holding back at this moment.
"Mother, it's not me, it's not me..." Knowing that the confession is over, Guo Yuanshuang would never admit it to death.
"Now that there are all witnesses and material evidence, do you still want to deny it? Our Shen family does not have a daughter-in-law like you!" Mrs. Shen is completely hard-hearted at this moment. The second bedroom has really disappointed her recently. Guo Yuanshuang's behavior It did violate her bottom line, and she had to take action.
"Mother, you can't treat me like this. Even if I don't have credit for these years, I have worked hard. I have helped you in these years, done so many things, and gave birth to two children for the Shen family. You are like this To me?" At her age, if she was divorced, wouldn't her life be completely ruined? She doesn't want it!
"You have made a big mistake now. You are not virtuous, not filial, and even greedy. Why can't I divorce you?"
"Mother, it's not fair for you to do things. It's wrong for me to give loan sharks, but these years, you, master, have also received the interest of the loan sharks. Do you still want to put it aside?" Seeing that Mrs. Shen asked Guo Yuanshuang was also furious when he divorced her, and he spoke without restraint.
"You, you wicked woman!"
"Am I an evil woman? But I can't compare to your Shen family's treachery. If you want to divorce me, I tell you that there is no way! I gave birth to two children for the old man, and I also kept a filial piety for the old man. I have helped the family all these years, you can't Divorce me! What's more, it's not just me, our master knows about this incident! It's the old lady who is determined to separate the family. The old lady and I have nothing to get, so you want to come out like this, old lady, you have to blame , then it is reasonable to punish me and the master together, it is not fair for you to push everything on me like this!"
"Shut up!" It wasn't just Mrs. Shen who said this, but even Shen Wenli kicked the other party in a hurry. Mrs. Shen wanted to protect him, and Shen Wenli knew it. Of course, Guo Yuanshuang couldn't be let at this time. Hold yourself back!
"Hehe, you can do it, are you afraid of me telling you? Mother, you want to protect your son, but don't forget, you still have grandchildren. If you divorce me, you have to think about it, what will happen to them in the future?" What to do? Let me tell you, if you divorce me, don't blame me for not caring about people, the Shen family is a noble one, so don't make people laugh at that time!"
"You, you, you..." After saying three words of you, Mrs. Shen was about to die of rage, and Shen Wenli directly kicked again. In, "Master, don't get angry, and don't be in a hurry to get rid of the responsibility. Do you dare to say that you don't know anything about what I did? If you want to divorce me, let me tell you, there is no way! If you really Divorce me, and I will ruin your Shen family's reputation!" Now that Guo Yuanshuang is dead, and she has been divorced, her family will definitely not be able to tolerate her, and she will naturally die by then, so it is better to give it a go than this!
"You bitch!"
"Master, you hit me and killed me. I'll see how you explain it!" Just let Shen Wenli hit him. Guo Yuanshuang is barefoot at the moment and is not afraid to wear shoes. When Shen Wenli stepped down, he was frightened by Guo Yuanshuang's eyes. , Mrs. Shen was so angry that she spat out a mouthful of blood, and fainted on the spot, "You, you..."
"Mother!"
