What was lost was Yun Qiao's stepfather's promissory note book.
The bank issues a cashier's check book and stamps it with a large seal. You only need to fill in the amount and signature, and you can exchange real money from the bank.
Although Fourth Master Xi was born as a commoner, he was an official after all, and he was from the Xi family. He was considered an upper-class noble in Yancheng. It was normal for the bank to give him a cashier's check book.
However, Fourth Master Xi has always been cautious and restrained when it comes to money, and would not spend a single penny unless necessary.
Although the family's public account will give him a large amount of pocket money every month.
Other gentlemen's monthly pocket money was not enough, but Fourth Master Xi was able to save it for Du Xiaoqin and the children.
"From all aspects, Mr. Xi is a good person. Du Xiaoqin back then was very discerning and good at coaching."
This is the conclusion Yun Qiao came to after living there for more than a month.
The cashier's check book given to Mr. Xi by the bank was kept in the drawer of his study.
That book has been replaced once a year for several years.
This time someone from the bank came to the door to replace Mr. Xi with a new cashier's check book. Mr. Xi went upstairs to look for it, but found that it was missing.
"Imitate my signature and you can get money from the bank." Mr. Xi was scared to death.
His signature is quite decent and easy to imitate.
Du Xiaoqin was also frightened and hurriedly looked for it, trying to search through the house.
"Nothing has ever happened!" When Du Xiaoqin said this, he glanced at Yun Qiao.
Yun Qiao pretended not to see it.
The servants looked around, and Yun Qiao went upstairs.
Changning also went upstairs.
"Miss, why did you lose something? I see the attitude of my wife and servants, they may be suspicious of us." Chang Ning lowered his voice.
Yun Qiao: "No doubt, it must be us."
Du Xiaoqin's original promise to Yun Qiao to bring her back was just to covet her grandmother's things. After getting the things, Du Xiaoqin regretted it.
A few days ago, Yun Qiao went to Xi Lanting's place, and Du Xiaoqin even suspected that Yun Qiao's hookup with Master Xi Qi would annoy the Xi family and make Du Xiaoqin's position unstable.
Driving Yun Qiao away was Du Xiaoqin's plan.
If you want to drive Yun Qiao away, you not only need an honest excuse, but you also need Fourth Master Xi to shut up.
Fourth Master Xi is a good old man who likes to intercede for others when there is nothing wrong. If Du Xiaoqin insists on driving Yun Qiao away, Fourth Master Xi will definitely persuade her and even make the decision to keep Yun Qiao.
Therefore, Du Xiaoqin wanted Fourth Master Xi to shut up.
Fourth Master Xi cares about money most.
Losing the check book will kill Fourth Master Xi; tearing out a few more pages and leaving them missing will make Fourth Master Xi want to hit a wall.
When the time comes, he no longer wants to retain Yun Qiao, and Du Xiaoqin can truly get what he wants.
"...Miss, what should we do?" Chang Ning asked her, not very anxious, "Should we move out?"
In fact, according to Changning's character, she would rather move out.
There are nine schools of thought in Yancheng, and many of them are disciples of Granny Xiao. Even if they refuse to listen to Yun Qiao's orders, they will still take care of Yun Qiao; even among the government officials, there are also disciples of Granny Xiao.
Even if Yun Qiao loses all her family wealth, those uncles can still give her a home and let her live a luxurious life.
"Grandma asked me to live in Xi's house for at least three years." Yun Qiao said.
Chang Ning: “Miss, do we really have to listen to my mother-in-law?”
"Yeah." Yun Qiao said.
Then, she stretched and said, "The things must be in our room. You can look for them."
Changning said yes.
She searched for a long time, and then found a thin cashier's check in the gap between the sofa and the dressing table.
Changning pushed the sofa away with difficulty, took it out, and took a breath: "Miss, who wants to harm you?"
