Chapter 439: The Emperor’s Destruction of the Zhenguo Mansion (9)
“Uncle Zhong gave it to me when he left the house.
He said that unless you have the ability to protect yourself or it is your wedding, don't take it out.
If you don't bring out the dowry list, even if you suffer a little, it won't kill you. Otherwise, you will be killed.
So I didn’t dare take it out.”
"Then why are you saying it now?"
"I know what it means to be adopted. You're leaving soon, so of course we have to take back the dowry that belongs to us!"
Liang Haoqi patted Shi Mo happily.
"Good boy, you are amazing!
Hurry up and give it to Shuang Rui."
"Oh!"
He just stood there without moving. Everyone looked at him nervously, afraid that he was just talking nonsense.
"what happened?"
"It's under our young master's belly. I can't get it out."
Ok?
Several people rushed over and touched Qin Linze's belly, but to no avail.
"No!"
"Oh, I'm talking about the tiger stuffed doll that the young master is using as a cushion."
"What?"
Shishu was so scared that he ran over and carefully took out the tiger doll.
I held the tiger doll and tears started streaming down my face.
“No wonder Uncle Zhong asked me not to be so diligent before he left. It turns out he wanted me not to be so diligent in washing the tiger doll!
"Wow, Master, I'm sorry. I must have washed the dowry list to pieces."
When Shishu cried, everyone's heart sank to the bottom.
Only Shi Mo looked at Shi Shu with a puzzled expression, as if asking him why he suddenly cried.
He took the tiger doll from Shishu's hand and took out a pair of scissors from the sewing basket.
He carefully picked off the thread ends. Judging from his skill, he must have done this many times.
When all the lines were cut, there turned out to be a key inside.
They all breathed a sigh of relief, and then Shi Mo took the key and poked at the small carved hole at the head of the bed, but he couldn't figure out which one was the keyhole.
Seeing that he had poked it several times but failed to open it, everyone couldn't help but ask anxiously.
"Shi Mo, do you know that's the keyhole?"
"I forgot. Uncle Zhong only told me the keyhole was here, but he didn't let me poke it."
Everyone...
"Uncle Zhong is so funny. He actually gave such an important thing to Shi Mo but not to Shi Shu."
You Mingqing muttered in dissatisfaction.
“No, Uncle Zhong is the smartest!
He knew that the secretary was smart and that Mrs. Qin might find a way to kick her out again one day.
But Brother Lin Ze, as the eldest son of the Shangshu Mansion, must have someone to serve him, and that person is the dull and dazed Shi Mo, who is most suitable."
While everyone was chatting, they suddenly heard a "click" sound and Shi Mo shouted happily.
"Master, open it, we found it."
"Yes, Shi Mo is the best!"
Shi Shu gave Shi Mo a thumbs up.
Ever since Uncle Zhong left, it was Shishu and Shimo who took care of and protected him, so Qin Linze didn't care about Shishu interrupting him.
He also slowly gave Shi Mo a thumbs up, "Thank you Shi Mo, you did a great job!"
Shi Mo was very happy. He immediately raised his head and chest, his face full of pride!
It took him a while to pick up a small box from under the bed. Its color was exactly the same as the bed.
The most important thing is that the bed board is covered with a layer of outer skin. If you don’t find the mechanism and use the key to open it, you will never know that there is another world under the bed board.
Shi Mo quickly climbed in, picked up the box, and handed it to Qin Linze.
"Master, here you go."
Then Qin Linze turned the box over and over again, but he was still confused and couldn't find any keyhole.
"Master, your pendant."
"Ah, my pendant?"
I quickly took the pendant out from my neck, but no matter how I turned it over and over, it didn't fit in the box.
Shi Mo walked forward and took the pendant, but didn't take it off, just pulled it out a little.
The pendant was originally in the shape of a magnolia flower, and I gently pressed on the large bulge in the middle of the flower.
Then the bulge slowly extended, and Shi Mo inserted the protruding needle into the box.
With a click, the box opened.
In addition to a dowry list, there was also a stack of silver bills.
At a glance, they are all worth 1 taels each, and there are ten in total.
Everyone looked at each other in confusion. If Qin Linze had so much silver, would it be necessary for him to move his mother's dowry back?
Qin Linze said bitterly, "Of course I have to take it back! Even if I have to send it to a charity, I won't let these people get any benefit from it!"
"Are you really willing to give it up?"
"I'm willing to give it up! You don't know that back then, Minister Chen was just a poor boy who couldn't even get enough to eat and lived in a dilapidated temple.
My mother twisted her ankle while burning incense and was saved by him, so she insisted on marrying him.
In the past few years, thanks to my grandfather's promotion, all the expenses in the house were supported by my mother's dowry.
But he still wants to kill me. He is guilty as a thief and wants to get rid of me so that no one will care about my mother anymore!"
Whenever Qin Linze thought of his mother, he wished he could die together with those people!
"That's great! Haoqi, you and Mingqing take down the door panels, and we'll carry him to find a clinic far away from the Shangshu Mansion."
Everyone hurriedly took down the door panel, placed Qin Linze on it and covered him with a quilt.
Shuangshuang then handed the small wooden box to Qin Linze.
"Brother Lin Ze, please put this box slightly below your armpit.
If someone takes your pulse, hold the box tightly, remember that?"
"it is good!"
"Then let's get started!"
Shuangshuang glanced at a few people, then suddenly shouted.
"Lin Ze, what's wrong with you? Lin Ze, please don't scare us!"
For a moment, the young masters nearby were stunned.
Looking at him like this, he doesn't seem to be dying.
Seeing that everyone around him was staring at him in amazement, he couldn't help but glare at them.
It was You Mingqing who finally reacted and continued to roar.
"Hurry, hurry, hurry! Go get a doctor!"
Liang Haoqi also reacted, "Oh, it's too late to call a doctor!
Hurry, hurry, let's carry him to the clinic!"
Shuangshuang looked at the few people with satisfaction, then lifted the door panel and rushed out of the yard.
The servants who were originally stopping the Qin family's servants outside the yard saw their master carrying the young master of the Qin family rushing out in a hurry.
Quickly push away the person who has been peeking outside.
"Quick, move aside! Move aside! Human lives are at stake. What are you still doing here to cause trouble?"
Before the servants could react, everyone had already run to the gate.
Only the clever servant ran to open the door in advance.
By the time everyone in the mansion reacted, the group had already carried the person out of the gate.
Shishu was fine, she was just pretending to be anxious and shouting.
"Master, Master, don't scare me!" or something like that.
But Shi Mo was a stubborn person. He didn't know that these people were just pretending and he just kept crying.
This made those who were watching the fun outside feel sympathy for the eldest young master of the Shangshu Mansion.
"Ah... seeing his servant crying like that, I'm afraid it really won't work..."
"But I haven't heard that he has ever hired a doctor in the Shangshu Mansion! How did he become so ill?
Besides, with your official position as Shangshu, you can hire an imperial physician, right?"
"You don't know this, but the child's biological mother is not the current one, but the legitimate daughter of the former Left Prime Minister.
He was also a poor thing, having lost his mother when he was born.
At that time, the Left Prime Minister and his men were still in the capital and everything was peaceful.
