Chapter 333: The Shu Family's Drama Continues, and Their Army is Destroyed
Guan Huizhi was beaten and stood aside, trying to reduce her presence as much as possible.
The more she talked, the more mistakes she would make, especially when Shu Ke was angry. She couldn't say too much and cause him to be dissatisfied again.
Compared to Shu Yue, she is indeed much smarter, but not speaking does not mean that she does not care about the development of the situation.
Looking at the housekeeper's nervous and evasive eyes, she felt a strong sense of unease.
"General, general..."
"What are you talking about? If you have to fart, do it now!"
Before Shu Kelin could recover from his shock, he heard the three words "Not good" again, and despair suddenly arose in his heart.
Misfortunes never come alone?
However, is there anything more embarrassing than the Shu family being rejected on the spot at the wedding banquet?
"The young lady's dowry, all, all..."
Hearing the word "dowry", Guan Huizhi's half-lidded eyes widened instantly. That was half of her family fortune! Would anything go wrong?
Shu Kelin asked coldly, "What happened to the dowry?"
The housekeeper hesitated, "All, all empty... and some have turned into stone..."
"What?! It's empty? Stone?" Shu Yuehua's face was full of disbelief.
Guan Huizhi almost jumped up, "Is that possible?"
When she left, she clearly counted them one by one!
Guan Huizhi ignored everyone else and rushed directly to the central courtyard and warehouse outside.
For Shu Yue's wedding, even if the dowry she gave was not as long as ten miles of red makeup, it would still be as long as three miles of red makeup!
Among them, there are eighteen tables of jewels and jewelry, eighteen tables of precious cloth, and gold and silver in the shops, with a total value of up to one hundred thousand taels!
But at this moment, those red bags were either filled with stones, or turned into waste paper, or some were simply empty, with nothing at all...
"Where are the things? Where did they go?!" She lost her composure and grabbed the butler's collar and asked angrily.
The housekeeper's face was filled with bitterness. "Husband, Madam, I don't know either. I was just about to put the dowry back into storage when I noticed some of the boxes were particularly light, so I had them opened."
"Who knew, once I opened it, it was..." It was completely empty.
"How is that possible? I clearly counted everything when I came back, and there was nothing missing. Why are they all gone now?!"
Guan Huizhi didn't believe it. From Yan's house to Shu's house, it was only seven or eight streets away. How could it suddenly disappear?
"It's over!"
Guan Huizhi's heart was greatly shocked, and she found it difficult to recover for a moment. She half-sat beside Hong Tai and muttered to herself, as if she had lost her soul.
"It's the Yan family! They must have stolen my dowry! I'm going to find them!!"
Shu Yue couldn't control herself anymore, and her usual disguise was almost completely torn off today.
But it's also true that no one can remain rational after suffering such a great humiliation.
What's more, after today, whether Shu Yue can get married or not depends on how generous her dowry is!
If her dowry was generous, perhaps someone would be willing to marry her for the sake of money. But if she didn't even have a dowry, then she would really have nowhere to go...
"Stop!!"
Shu Kelin roared, "Your mother counted your dowry before you left the Yan family! Now that you're home, you're still saying there's something wrong with the dowry? You have no shame, but I still have some!"
"Lock the young lady in her boudoir. No one is allowed to let her out without my order!"
The furious roar drifted from the central courtyard out of the courtyard wall and was heard completely by the people outside who were watching the excitement!
"What? The Shu family's dowry is gone? Is this true or false?"
"Could it be that he is so angry about the Yan family canceling the engagement that he wants to use this trick to slander the Yan family for greed?"
"That's impossible, isn't it? I heard that when Master Yan left the Shu family, he specifically asked Madam Shu to count Miss Shu's dowry, and he didn't leave until the count was complete!"
"So, the Shu family's dowry wasn't lost at all? Or was it robbed on the road?"
"I don't know about that, but the Shu family has quite a bit of dowry. If it was really stolen, then we can only say that someone is taking justice into their own hands!"
A woman dressed somewhat shabbily said, "That's right, such a vicious woman deserves to remain unmarried! What's the point of a dowry? Are you going to let her live a comfortable life as an old woman?!"
The last sentence may have had a bit of a sour and foul taste, but everyone was still very tolerant of her and didn't take it too seriously.
Nowadays, no one in Kyoto could make as much fun as the Shu family. Those who watched the fun were always happy to see the trouble. Commoners like them were always being bullied, and now that a noble was in trouble, who wouldn't want to step forward and vent their anger?
"Get out of the way!"
At this time, a man dressed as a servant walked through the crowd in front of Shu Mansion and banged on the gate frantically.
"General! Something happened! Something happened!!"
When these words were spoken, everyone present was shocked.
"Something happened to the Shu family again?"
"What else?"
Someone got excited and asked the boy knocking on the door, "Hey, brother, what happened to your Shu family again? Tell us about it!"
Hearing this, everyone burst into laughter.
The servant glanced at them and was about to yell at them, but when he saw the door open a crack, he didn't bother to scold those onlookers and quickly went in.
When he arrived in front of Shu Kelin, he knelt on the ground very smoothly, tears streaming down his face, "General, Madam, the Third Young Master, he's been captured!!"
"what?!"
Guan Huizhi came back to her senses almost instantly. Shu Yuanbao was her last resort. How could something happen to him?
Shu Kelin felt as if a bolt of lightning struck his head. He was so angry that his eyes went dark and he passed out.
"father!"
"General!"
……
The Shu Mansion was in chaos, and no one noticed that there were two women sitting on the eaves of the Shu Mansion, cracking melon seeds, looking very leisurely.
The melon seed shell was blown by the wind and fell on the green grass in the Shu family courtyard without making any sound.
"This Shu Kelin fainted so easily? He's too exhausted, isn't he?"
"Also, he's a dignified military commander, so how could his strength be so weak? If it were me, I would have knocked a few teeth out of Shu Yue!"
This sinister and vicious woman deserves it if she is slapped in the face and a few of her teeth are broken!
Zhang Zhirou was dissatisfied and threw the melon seeds in her hand away, "No, I'm going to hurt her more!"
Shu He held her back and said with a smile, "Don't worry! It's not over yet! There's still a big show waiting for her later!"
"There's more drama?!" Zhang Zhirou couldn't believe it.
This play hasn't finished yet?
The Shu family is almost completely wiped out, right? Why does Sister He have another trick up her sleeve?
"Yeah, but not today."
Shu He also threw the melon seeds in his hand onto the roof tiles and clapped his hands, "Let's go back first. Someone will come to visit later, and we don't want to keep them waiting too long!"
Zhang Zhirou felt numb on his forehead and couldn't help but reach out to grab it.
"It seems that old ginger is still the wisest! Sister He, you are becoming more and more scary now! Fortunately, I didn't go against you, otherwise, I would definitely die without knowing how!"
Shu He had just started practicing Qinggong when he was so angry at her words that he almost fell down.
She stopped in a tree and waited for her to catch up.
"Sister He, why don't you leave?"
Shu He looked at her and asked calmly, "Who did you just say was old?"
"No, no, I didn't say anything!"
Zhang Zhirou noticed something was wrong and immediately flew away, fearing that he would be caught and punished if he was a step late!
Seeing this, Shu He chuckled.
At this moment, a look came from the central courtyard of Shu Mansion. She turned her head and looked, and met a pair of eyes that were neither sad nor happy, but calm.
He looked at her, a hint of doubt in his eyes, but he didn't alarm anyone.
Shu He also looked back at him, with a hint of doubt in his eyes.
Shu Yuanqi, her second brother.
