PFC Chapter 201 The Silver Is Gone
Chapter 201 The Silver Is Gone
Not to mention Su Lihan was surprised, even the maid beside her, the coachman and the old doorman who was guarding the gate were all astonished.
How did the uncle of the Kang family get himself into this state?
This was not his style when he came to the Marquis' Mansion before!
At that time, the young uncle of the Kang family was very arrogant. Not only was his whole body dressed in bright and beautiful clothes, but even his hair was combed very neatly. When he walked, he held his head high and his chest out, looking very stylish.
He was also very generous and gave the doorman several taels of silver as a reward.
But now?
The Kang family's uncle's hair was messy and it seemed he hadn't had it combed for several days. He was wearing a gorgeous brocade robe, but it had a lot of wrinkles and it was estimated that he hadn't changed it in several days.
The most important thing is that his eyes are dull and his beard is allowed to grow wildly. If he changes his clothes, who would have thought that he is also a nobleman.
"Is your mother in the room?" Campbell asked in a hoarse voice.
"Yes, uncle, just go in and find her." Su Lihan said.
Hearing this, Campbell nodded blankly and walked up the stairs. However, as soon as he stepped into the door, he paused.
What's the point of coming to see her now?
It just adds another sad person.
"Uncle, aren't you going in?" asked the doorman.
Campbell is a frequent visitor to the Marquis' Mansion. He used to come in straight away, so why is he still dragging his feet today?
Campbell didn't reply. He withdrew his foot and returned to his carriage, saying, "Go back!"
A group of people looked at each other, having no idea what was going on!
Su Lihan felt strange. It was obvious that something had happened to Kang Boli. She had to tell her mother, so she decided not to go out and said to the maid, "Let's go back first."
After a while, Su Lihan met Xiao Kang.
"Mother, my uncle is so strange. Just now when we were at the gate of the mansion, he asked me if I was in the mansion. I said I was, and then he left again."
"Are you saying that you saw your uncle just now?" Xiao Kang asked hurriedly.
She was calculating the time, estimating that Campbell would send the dividends over in the next two days.
"I saw him, but he looked very haggard and distraught. Mom, why did my uncle suddenly become like this? Is there something wrong with his business?" Su Lihan asked curiously.
Recently, Campbell has been showing off in front of him, saying that he has done a profitable business and made a lot of money.
"That's impossible, don't talk nonsense."
Xiaokang retorted subconsciously, but his heart suddenly tightened.
What's going on? Is there something wrong? Take your own money...
"Someone, go and invite Campbell over. He shouldn't have gone far." Xiao Kang hurriedly ordered.
Campbell's behavior today was so abnormal, could something really have gone wrong?
When Xiaokang thought of the consequences of the accident, his whole body went limp and he sat back down.
Su Lihan noticed that her mother's face had changed, and asked nervously, "Mom, why are you like this too?"
Also? What do you mean?
Xiaokang felt that the situation was really bad, so she pinched her hand hard to calm herself down.
We don’t know what the situation is now, so don’t scare yourself.
Campbell was chased back. He didn't want to go to the Marquis's Mansion, but the servant invited him again and again.
Whatever!
Xiaokang will eventually know about this matter, he can't keep it secret forever.
The doorman was not surprised to see Campbell coming back again. Instead, the brothers from Qinglin Village sent someone to deliver the news to Su Qingwan.
Xiao Kang waited anxiously in the house. After a long time, a maid finally told her, "Second Madam, my uncle is here."
Xiaokang quickly stood up and went outside to greet them.
But when she saw Campbell's appearance, the uneasy feeling she had just felt instantly increased. She rushed up quickly, stared at Campbell, and asked in a trembling voice:
"What happened?"
Cornbury opened his mouth, wondering how he could say this.
"Why don't you say something? Do you want to make me anxious to death? Where are the dividends? Where is the money?" Xiaokang urged.
"The dividends are gone, and the capital is gone..." After Campbell cried out these words, he felt like he had just had a dream.
Xiaokang was completely stunned!
After a long while, he suddenly screamed, grabbed Campbell's clothes tightly and shook him.
"How could it be gone? Wasn't it fine before? How could it be gone? Say something!" Xiao Kang asked heartbreakingly.
This situation scared Su Lihan who was following behind.
"Mom, what are you doing? Let go of your hand first. If you hold my uncle like this, he won't be able to speak!"
Su Lihan wanted to pull them apart, but she couldn't pull Xiaokang away by herself. It was Nanny Ji who helped her pull them apart.
"Second Madam, let's go back to the room and talk. Don't quarrel here." Nanny Ji reminded.
Xiaokang didn't have time to care about so many things.
That’s eighty thousand taels!
A total of 80,000 taels of silver, which included not only her own pocket money, but also her daughter's dowry, her son's wedding money, and even the second master's collection of calligraphy and paintings, and jade.
With just a few words from Campbell, all these things of hers became nothing. How could she accept this?
Xiaokang's eyes went dark and he fainted.
Nanny Ji hurriedly brought Xiaokang into the house, and after pinching her Ren Zhong point for a while, Xiaokang slowly woke up.
When she saw her daughter looking at her anxiously, she immediately burst into tears and cried loudly.
"Li Han, I'm so sorry. I've lost your dowry, wuwuwu..."
"what?"
Su Lihan jumped up instantly and looked at Xiao Kang in shock.
What is she talking about?
How could her dowry be gone? Wasn't it all in the small warehouse of the second room?
Xiaokang told the whole story while crying, and Su Lihan also started crying anxiously after hearing it.
She was not only crying for her dowry, but also crying for the fact that Xiaokang had so much silver in her hands. She had never even seen it, and it was gone.
Campbell sat in the chair with an expressionless face, as if he had no soul.
The sunlight came through the window pane and landed right on the back of his hand.
"Cambery, please tell me clearly what happened and where did my money go?" Xiao Kang asked.
"That day, after I collected enough money, I sent it to them. They registered according to the previous procedures and agreed on a day to collect the dividends."
"The next day, I went over to ask about the situation. They said the money had been lent out, and that 90% of the money was paid back. I also looked at the accounts. The borrower used the title deed to the mountain as collateral, and that the money and interest would be recovered in just seven days. But when I went to see them again two days later, the boss there had changed."
