The Princess Consort Has A Lethal Destiny - Chapter 276
Chapter 276: It’s Not Enough
The reason why these treasures were placed in the armory was because the place was inconspicuous. The items could be kept as family heirlooms!
The jade bangle was considered the cheapest one. Although the material was used sparingly, the quality of the jade was great. It was small and pretty. The craftsmanship was amazing. It was also worth 2,000 to 3,000 taels of silvers!
Not only that, he remembered that there was a golden eagle in this box. The eyes of the golden eagle were made of gemstones. They were solid gold. The feathers were also inlaid with a kind of shiny golden stone. That stone was rare. It was from the time when they were fighting against the barbarians, it was taken from that big tent!
To put it bluntly, that thing was not even available to the Emperor!
It was actually given away by that prodigal woman?!
“Who did she give them to?!” Xie Niushan’s eyes were red, and it was very scary.
“Why are you yelling at me? I only found out that the things were gone after I opened the box. I investigated in private, and some of the things were given to my Grandmother and Uncles. Some were given to Ms. Lu, and some were given to people who have a good relationship with you. She picked them out and sent them over…” Xie Pinggang said.
He knew that there was a golden eagle in there.
Later on, he investigated. Two years ago, the Meng family had an old person who was celebrating his birthday. Many families in the capital sent gifts over, and Ms. Lu took care of it as well.
She gave the golden eagle to the Meng family.
Nothing grand happened to the Xie family the past two years, so the Meng family did not return the gifts.
However, if he was a member of the Meng family and received such a heavy gift, he would think that the Xie family had done something shameful, so they asked them to help settle the score!
Would people give such an expensive gift away just like that?!
They did nothing at all and they suddenly gifted a huge golden eagle!
When he found out about this matter, Ms. Lu was on her way to Liaozhou to pick someone up, so he did not have the time to settle the score with her.
Later on, his eldest sister came. It was inappropriate for him to add fuel to the fire with this old matter. Otherwise, it would seem like his family was a bully.
Xie Niushan felt his entire body go weak.
This box was quite well hidden. Although it was in the armory, it was placed in the innermost part of the room and would not be noticed usually!
How could that woman think of emptying it out?!
His silver!
His treasure!
Xie Niushan really wanted to vomit blood at this moment.
There was nothing left in this box. What was left…was a sheepskin scroll that he used to keep dry at the bottom…
Xie Niushan felt weak all over. He sat on the ground and said, “I don’t have any silver left. Eldest Daughter’s health is lacking, so I have to take care of her. Now, I only have… more than a thousand taels of silvers left. It’s not enough!”
His golden eagle…
Xie Niushan was dispirited for a moment. He muttered and suddenly stood up. He suddenly swept his hand across the weapon rack and reached out for the long saber.
He lifted his foot and was about to leave.
“Father, where are you going? Don’t tell me you want to kill… Ms. Lu?” Xie Pinghuai was shocked.
“I want to get my things back! I want to find Ms. Lu and find out who she sent those things to! Whoever dares to take from me, I will kill them!” Xie Niushan was greatly agitated.
The things in that box could be said to be his life’s work!
What was the point of being a bandit and fighting the barbarians?! Was it not just to earn some good stuff?!
He was willing to give Ms. Lu 5,000 taels of silvers, not because he was generous, but because he thought he had a lot of money!
If the things in the box were still there, not to mention 5,000 taels of silvers, even if he were to give another 5,000 taels, his heart would not ache!
However, the truth was…
That prodigal woman Ms. Lu!
Who could stop Xie Niushan from doing what he wanted to do?
He called the steward, rode his horse, and directly headed toward Ms. Lu’s place.
