On the twenty-fourth day of the twelfth lunar month, Xiao Zhen came to visit the Marquis of Ning'an.

Wen Ningzhi, who had just recovered from a long illness, received him warmly, and the two exchanged pleasantries for a long time. Wen Hongxuan and Shui Shiqiao made amends on the side. Finally, Xiao Zhen brought out many expensive and rare gifts, showing his extraordinary respect for his "father-in-law".

Wen Ningzhi was very happy, and his pale face was filled with color. Before accepting Liuli as a foster daughter, he just took advantage of the situation, but he didn't expect to get the benefits now, and he was even more eager for the future.

However, everyone knew that Xiao Zhen came to see his fiancée. Wen Ningzhi simply left Xiao Zhen to do what he wanted without even leaving a meal. He also said that it would be best to treat the Hou Mansion as his own palace. This move of his was very

It's considerate, but in fact it's just stingy. When the prince comes, the standard of the banquet cannot be lowered, but money is tight at the end of the year, so it's better not to waste it.

He has other worries, so he has been in poor health, and he is not pretending. It is just because he accidentally told him a few days ago that his family's money has been running low, and if he wants to live a happy New Year, he will be stretched. During the New Year,

, there are also favors, and New Year’s gifts for bosses and colleagues, etc., the family really can’t afford the money.

At that time, he waved his hand and said, "Just do it according to the same family background. Don't worry about money."

He dared to be so generous because he had received news before that Huo Qijian was dead!

That old dog cooperated with that man, and with a pack of sweat medicine and a fire, the entire Huo family was wiped out. The reason... was because his only son was taken to the battlefield by Hong Lian's father, but he failed to protect him.

, died among random arrows. On the surface, he was extremely humble, but in his heart, he had long hated the people named Huo. In fact, swords and guns have no eyesight. A general's achievements will cause thousands of bones to wither, and those who go to the battlefield always have their heads tucked into their trousers.

Since he wants to exchange his military service for glory and wealth, who can he blame in life and death? Even if he had not studied hard since he was three years old and had not taken out his conscience to feed the dogs, he would be where he is today.

Honorable favor?

Huo Laogou just vented his anger and forgot all the care and preferential treatment given to him by the Huo family for many years. The old dog himself was a remnant soldier who came off the battlefield. If it were not for the Huo family, he would have starved to death long ago, and he could still sit in the Huo family

The position of a great butler? How can he live a better life than an ordinary wealthy man? Let alone wait until he gives birth to a son! This kind of person will win favors and fight enemies. No matter how good he is, he should be treated well, but if he doesn't pay attention to it at all.

He will hate you and blame you for all his misfortunes.

Therefore, if the hands are stained with blood, the ungrateful person will definitely not get his turn. The Huo family has raised a pack of wolves! The Huo family has protected a real dragon who will retaliate! Sometimes when I think about it, I am afraid that I will die and go to hell in the future.

But when he thought about the many people accompanying him on the road to Huangquan, he felt at ease.

However, Huo Qijian is an old man. In addition, the white-haired man gave the black-haired man a gift, and there were no other nephews or descendants around him, so he became particularly greedy for money. There are conditions for him to be a traitor, that is, he must go to Beijing incognito and get all of Honglian's dowry property.

It's all under his control, and he only gives part of the income to the Ning'an Hou Mansion every year. He says he's in charge, but in fact, the old dog swallows it himself. It's just because the dowry is property on the surface. The amount is still huge, and there is no way to pay it off.

Just someone else.

At that time, he reluctantly nodded in agreement. Firstly, he did not dare to disobey the person's wishes, and secondly, he could not take those properties as his own. The stewards and shopkeepers responsible for operating the dowry industry only recognized Honglian herself, or her

After Guren died, he "painfully" sorted out the things left by Guren. In fact, he just searched for the seal, but found nothing. Unexpectedly, the seal was not brought to Tokyo at all, but was left behind.

Instead, Huo Qijian found the Huo family's old house in the northwest.

This was the real reason why he couldn't touch Honglian's dowry. Even if it wasn't because of the loss of his beloved wife, as was rumored by the outside world, it wasn't because of the loss of his beloved wife, as the aunts in the house thought. It was also not because he wanted to settle down for a few years to maintain his reputation.

But...he can obviously see it, but he really can't touch it.

But despite this, he also arranged his own people around Huo Qijian to facilitate close surveillance. In fact, his desire to regain the management rights of Honglian's dowry and find Yin Xin has not died. It's just that there is something about it, and that hidden line

Report: Huo Qijian is dead.

This was a great thing for him, but he was suspicious by nature and feared that there might be some hidden secrets in it. He also specially found a friend to conduct a serious investigation and finally confirmed that the old dog had not interacted with strangers before and after his death.

I was exposed to it, and died of a sudden heart attack. I died while drinking at home, but it was a very happy death.

He was so happy at that time, because the biggest obstacle to getting that huge fortune fell. As long as he found the seal, a large amount of money would flow into his wallet like running water. That's why he told Hanqiao to spend money casually.

Bold words.

What he didn't expect was that news came from his secret line: the seal was missing.

The seal is gone? The seal is gone! How could it be missing! His people have found out where the seal is, but Huo Qijian is too focused on it to steal it. When his people can finally pack up the "relics" openly, they are about to

When I found the seal, it was gone!

Since the old dog died normally, the possibility of the seal being stolen is low. So, the old dog hid the seal somewhere else?

He could have taken his time, but as he had said before, Hanqiao had emptied his house to celebrate the New Year. So, he could no longer make any money! With such a shabby New Year, Ning'an Hou Mansion would become the capital of Tokyo.

The laughingstock. In his life, what he loves most is neither others nor himself, but face, fame and wealth. If these three things are lost together, he will never be able to bear it!

The terrible thing was that Yingxuan needed a lot of money for medical treatment, and Hanqiao would cry to him every day. He was very annoyed, and sometimes he even thought that it would be better if Yingxuan died directly, so as not to act like a debt collector at this time.

So he got sicker and sicker. Fortunately, God has a way out. Now his future godson-in-law has sent a lot of things. Even if he still can't fill his hole, even if he empties the things out privately, there is a risk of being discovered.

At least the urgent need has been solved, and I can help for a while.

As long as the seal is found as soon as possible...

At this time, Xiao Zhen went to find Liuli, and Shui Shiqiao went with him. Only Wen and his son were left in the room.

Wen Ningzhi stood up and walked slowly to the boxes, looking through them one by one. They were all colored silk, damask, gold, gold paint and other items. He was thinking about it, waiting for his son to speak, but Wen Ningzhi

Hongxuan was holding a pair of palm-sized gold lacquer objects and looked fascinated. As a last resort, he coughed.

"Father, does your throat feel uncomfortable?" Wen Hongxuan asked with concern.

Wen Ningzhi was annoyed in her heart, but she didn't show it on her face. His son was too smart, and they were not like father and son, but more like rivals. There were many things in the family that others didn't know, but Hongxuan must have understood them very well. But they

After all, they are biological father and son, both named Wen. To a certain extent, whether Hongxuan wants it or not, the two are accomplices.

"Hongxuan, you know the situation at home..." Wen Ningzhi considered the words.

"Actually, why bother, father?" There was a smile on Wen Hongxuan's lips, but there was a strong sense of irony on the innocent-looking baby face, "Father's words and son's paintings are worth a thousand dollars.

, as long as my son opens a calligraphy and painting shop..."

"Don't insult Sven!" Wen Ningzhi interrupted her son.

Wen Hongxuan's sneer still hung on his face, but without saying a word, he packed up a few rare gold-lacquered items and walked away. Is it an insult to Sven? The things his father did are considered scum, so what else can he talk about here?

Gentle? It's just hypocrisy. The hypocrisy makes him sick. Even if he sells the things in the house, he has to use his crazy name! But what can be done? Whoever gives his surname Wen, whoever is raised by his parents,

Can't choose? So sometimes, he really wants to be a pure bad guy, at least true enough.

Rolling things up and walking out, when passing by the garden, they saw Liuli, Xiao Zhen and Shui Shiqiao slowly walking over and immediately hid behind the rockery. Although it was the twelfth lunar month, there was no wind and the sun was good.

These three people actually came for a walk.

Wen Hongxuan couldn't help but narrowed his eyes, because he had never seen any young lady who loved the outdoors as much as Liuli. If others had fair and tender skin like hers, they would never want to expose themselves to the sun. Therefore, Liuli had a kind of indifference to her own appearance and no regard for men.

A nonchalant attitude, strong and independent at the same time. These temperaments are rare and very eye-catching. I heard that even Xiao Shiyi was bewildered.

Moreover, he always felt that the atmosphere between the three people in front of him was strange. Shui Shiqiao was not a dull person. He had a rough appearance, but he was very eye-catching. It was common in Tokyo for two unmarried couples to reunite after a long separation and walk and chat together.

What does it mean for his uncle to get in the middle of this matter? In addition, in his opinion, the brother-sister relationship between Shui Shiqiao and Liuli seems... a bit too deep. He had quickly become interested in Liuli before, but he quickly

Throw it away. Now think about it, is it too careless?

Liuli and the other three people didn't notice Wen Hongxuan, they just walked slowly, talking here and there. Because her brother and fiancé were around, Liuli only brought Yiqiu, a girl. Yiqiu followed silently, looking ahead.

Thinking about the situation of the three of them, and what they said in private, I frowned slightly: The young lady smiled too much at the gang leader, but too little at His Royal Highness Prince Jin.

"The weather is really nice today." After walking around for a long time, there was really nothing to talk about, so Shui Shiqiao reluctantly talked about the weather.

"I don't know if there is a polo match, but I haven't seen it for a long time." Liuli continued.

"There will be a few shows after the new year. When the time comes, Liuli will definitely come to cheer me up." Xiao Zhen stopped, turned to Liuli and smiled, then quickly changed the topic, "By the way, the gift I gave you

, ask someone to send them to your yard alone. After all, I carefully selected them, so you won’t even care about a cup of tea. After walking for a long time, I’m very thirsty.”

After he said so, Liuli immediately invited him back to Mo Yuxuan. Shui Shiqiao shamelessly followed him for a long time. At this time, he really had no excuse to go back together, so he could only reluctantly let the two of them leave.
