Chapter 180 Then I will report to the police!
When it comes to the gold hairpin.
Song Nansheng and Old Madam Zhou looked at each other.
Just when Song Nansheng was about to say something.
Old Madam Zhou, who was standing by, glanced at Jiang Wanqing.
She said calmly, "The hairpin is gone, and I didn't keep my belongings safe! Now that I can't find it, I realize how anxious I was. What did I do before?"
Jiang Wanqing frowned.
He looked at Song Nansheng with some surprise.
But Song Nansheng also looked a little surprised.
Yesterday, Song Nansheng redeemed the pair of gold hairpins.
Why does the old lady say this again today!
It seems that you don’t want to return the pair of gold hairpins to me?
But if you think about Madam Zhou's character, it's understandable.
It cost a full ten thousand taels of gold to redeem that pair of gold hairpins. Wasn't that tantamount to asking for Madam Zhou's life?
Now that she was asked to hand over ten thousand taels right away, she was naturally extremely unwilling to do so.
Old Madam Zhou faced the gazes of Song Nansheng and Jiang Wanqing and ignored them.
Asking her to hand over 12,000 taels of gold is simply a dream!
Originally, for the sake of Zi Gu and Mu Sheng, she was willing to give Song Nansheng five thousand taels of gold to redeem the hairpin.
Unexpectedly, Song Nansheng spent his own 10,000 taels of gold to redeem the pair of gold hairpins without his consent!
When she thought of this, Mrs. Zhou became furious.
He glanced at Song Nansheng unhappily.
That’s 10,000 or 20,000 gold!
Most of my net worth!
But we can't give it to Jiang Wanqing so easily!
Song Nansheng looked at Madam Zhou and asked doubtfully, "Aunt?"
Unexpectedly, Madam Zhou just snorted at Song Nansheng and turned her head away.
Song Nansheng pursed his lips.
I guessed it to some extent in my heart, maybe my aunt just couldn't bear to part with the 10,000 taels of gold.
but…
Song Nansheng glanced at Jiang Wanqing with a slightly worried look.
I’m afraid Jiang Wanqing... won’t be the kind of person who would give up easily.
The next moment.
Jiang Wanqing turned to Old Madam Zhou and said, "Mother-in-law, are those hairpins really lost? I also want to know, how come my things are suddenly lost when they were clearly placed in the storeroom."
Old Madam Zhou's eyes flickered, and she didn't dare to look directly at Jiang Wanqing.
She replied unhappily, "You kept your things, so naturally only you know where you kept them! It's just a pair of gold hairpins, if it's missing, it's missing. The next door is grabbing a pair of hairpins!"
Jiang Wanqing curled the corners of her lips, smiled without saying anything, and turned around.
But his footsteps were heading outside.
Seeing this, Madam Zhou hurriedly called out, "Where are you going?"
But he felt happy in his heart. Could it be that Jiang Wanqing really listened to what he said?
Don’t you plan to continue to bother with this pair of golden hairpins?
Jiang Wanqing stopped and turned to look at Old Madam Zhou.
His eyes were cold: "Of course I'll report it to the police."
Old Madam Zhou was startled and quickly stood up, subconsciously glancing at Song Nansheng.
Song Nansheng took a step forward, supported Old Madam Zhou, and signaled with his eyes.
Madam Zhou then looked at Jiang Wanqing again and asked, "Why are you going to report to the authorities? What do you want to do?"
Jiang Wanqing turned around, slowly raised the corners of his lips, with a hint of teasing in his eyes.
She said slowly, "Mother-in-law, have you forgotten? I was going to report it to the police last time, but it was Sister Nan Sheng who said that she would find the pair of gold hairpins for me today, so I didn't report it. Now that I haven't found it, I will naturally report it to the police."
The corners of Mrs. Zhou's mouth drooped, her brows knitted, and her face darkened.
His eyes were cold and stern: "So many of us can't find a pair of hairpins. Could it be that if you report it to the authorities, they will find it for you?"
Song Nansheng, who was standing by, also sang a duet: "Yes, cousin, it's just a pair of hairpins, why do you care so much? Cousin has so many jewels, why do you have to be so obsessed with the pair of gold hairpins?"
Listening to what the two said, Jiang Wanqing just wanted to laugh.
These two people kept saying don't pay any attention to them.
But after all, I still can't bear to part with the pair of gold hairpins.
Jiang Wanqing sneered.
Looking at Song Nansheng, she said, "Sister Nansheng is being generous. I am not as generous as you. Since you don't care, why don't you give me a pair of gold hairpins? Anyway, I am not the kind of person who cares about a pair of gold hairpins."
Song Nansheng's face froze.
She opened her mouth and said, "Cousin, if I had the money for a pair of gold hairpins, I would definitely be willing to give them to you, but now... I don't have any."
Jiang Wanqing covered her lips and smiled: "Isn't Sister Nansheng a daughter of the Song family? The Song family will naturally prepare a dowry for you, and you can just take a portion of it."
Listening to Jiang Wanqing's increasingly outrageous words.
Old Madam Zhou couldn't help but frown.
He stood up and said, "Jiang Wanqing! Don't be so presumptuous. Nan Sheng is a guest in my house. Why are you asking her for money?"
Jiang Wanqing listened to what Madam Zhou said and looked at the other party again.
His eyes flickered several times, and he said, "Yes, he is just a guest, why do you keep interfering in my family affairs? If he can't even take out a pair of gold hairpins, why should I ignore it? Anyway, it's because Sister Nan Sheng has never had one."
When Song Nansheng heard Jiang Wanqing's sarcastic words, his face suddenly turned pale.
She looked so weak that she was about to collapse.
She covered her chest with a sad look on her face, "Cousin, that's not what I meant. I just don't want you to continue arguing with aunt."
Old Madam Zhou stomped her cane hard.
Looking at Jiang Wanqing, he snorted coldly, "Nan Sheng is much more sensible than you! It's just a small matter, but you have to keep harping on it!"
Jiang Wanqing's clear and lively eyes moved slightly: "Mother-in-law, have you forgotten that this gold hairpin is not an ordinary gold hairpin! It is a gift from the emperor! If it is lost or missing, it will be a contempt for the royal family! It will implicate our entire family! The entire Xingchang Marquisate will be implicated!"
After a pause, Jiang Wanqing continued, "The hairpin is still in the mansion. I will report it to the authorities and have them surround the mansion. Even if they have to dig deep into the ground, they must find the hairpin! If they find out who in the mansion took it, they will drag it out and beat it to death!"
At the end, Jiang Wanqing looked at Song Nansheng meaningfully.
Song Nansheng couldn't help but panic for a moment.
He tugged at Madam Zhou's sleeve calmly.
Mrs. Zhou realized belatedly and remembered that this gold hairpin was a gift from the emperor!
Before, she only remembered the 10,000 taels of gold, and didn't want Jiang Wanqing to take the 10,000 taels of gold away just like that.
Now that I think about it, I feel a little scared again.
I was afraid that Jiang Wanqing would report it to the police. If the hairpin was found in my room, wouldn’t it be…
There was a hint of gloom in Mrs. Zhou's eyes.
He turned his head and glanced at the maid not far away.
