Xiao Yushu asked anxiously: "Aunt Gui, what's going on?"
The phone call was from the, the old butler of Xiao's Mansion. He told Aunt Gui that with such a large Xiao's Mansion, the servants could leave and leave.
The Lamb's name was Xiao A'Yang, and he had already been a gatekeeper at the Xiao's Mansion for dozens of years. He worked at the Xiao Family for even longer than the Aunt Gui did, and it was said that he did so even before his grandfather Xiao Guoxing.
Although Xiao Yushu had always had a thin line of bloodline, there were many mixed and mixed bloodlines. Within the clan, there were quite a few people who held actual power, and taking his grandfather Xiao Zhennan's generation for example, her grandfather had several cousins, several cousins, and many grandchildren. In other words, Xiao Yushu's cousins were countless.
A few days ago, these people came to visit the house in the name of visiting families or relatives. They brought along antiques, calligraphies and the like.
The old butler, Lamb, also didn't have the right or the right to stop them, and could only watch as they acted wildly, but now, they were getting more and more outrageous, many people, including some young people, according to their seniority, should probably call them Aunt Xiao Yushu, and actually pulled a group of people to live in the Xiao's Mansion, eat, take, and even wreak havoc at will.
Lamb had no choice but to report to Miss Sun Xiao Yushu.
After receiving the Lamb's report, the Aunt Gui was obviously very angry. After hanging up the phone, she hurriedly told the young miss and the Young Master.
However, Xiao Yushu actually looked as if she did not care, and said indifferently: "Aunt Gui, you don't have to be angry. Come, first sit down to eat, the money is just worldly possessions, and in theory, the Xiao's Mansion is indeed the property of the people living in the Xiao Family, if they want to take it, they can take it.
The meaning was obvious, she already had a home that belonged to her and Ye Haochen, and as for the Xiao's Mansion, it had nothing to do with her.
Ye Haochen's heart was in pain, but he did not care about his huge family's business, as he could not bear to see the people who took advantage of him when he was down. Now that he was back to divide up the family business, how could there be such a good thing!
I have stayed at the Xiao Family for a relatively long time, so I naturally know very clearly that although the Xiao's Mansion was indeed expanded from its original location, and the ancient buildings there are indeed hundreds of years old, and belong to the ancestors' inheritance. However, all of this later on, especially the Xiao's Mansion expansion, were all thanks to the Old Master's painstaking efforts.
Hearing that, Xiao Yushu's heart shivered, she raised her head and looked at Aunt Gui.
Aunt Gui seemed to have realized that she shouldn't have said so much and apologized profusely: "Miss, I have said too much. I am a servant after all, so I shouldn't be asking about internal affairs of the Xiao Family.
He only heard Xiao Yushu say: "No, Aunt Gui, I do not blame you. You are right, this is my grandfather's blood and sweat, and more importantly, this is a place where I was born and raised. I have too many beautiful memories that occurred in my Xiao's Mansion, although I have almost no impression of my mother, but at the very least, I still remember that my father loved me and played with me.
After dinner, Xiao Yushu was prepared to head to the Xiao's Mansion, so naturally she would follow along.
Very quickly, after arriving at the Xiao's Mansion, Ye Haochen found out that there were so many people at the Xiao Family. There were several tens of people of varying sizes, and these people were really rude, holding onto each other's arms, with a white jade bracelet in their mouths. Putting aside the other things, just that white jade bracelet was worth hundreds of thousands of gold coins, these people really dared to take it.
He saw an old man trying to persuade him, but he was kicked to the ground by a young man.
Seeing that, Xiao Yushu shouted: "Lamb!" She quickly ran over and angrily yelled, "Stop!"
When they heard someone call "Stop", they immediately turned around to take a look. As Xiao Yushu usually stayed in her dwelling and did not interact much with her clan and relatives, the older elders present knew her, but the younger ones did not even know who she was. They sized her up and sneered: "Who are you? "What kind of leek are you?!"
Lamb who was kicked to the ground struggled to stand up, but upon seeing Xiao Yushu, he anxiously said: "Miss Sun, you have finally arrived." He then shouted angrily at the youths: "She is Miss Sun Xiao Yushu, she is the owner of this mansion!"
The older ones, who knew Xiao Yushu, felt awkward, and subconsciously took a few steps back. The younger ones also cowered, but there was nothing that could stop them from stealing the true gold and silver, they did not care about Xiao Yushu at all, and continued to walk out.
However, at this moment, he saw a young man sitting on a stone chair with his legs crossed. He smiled at them and said, "Aren't you afraid of getting caught for stealing in the open?"
Those old and young people looked up and down at Ye Haochen, they did not even know him, and would not even give him face if they did, much less a young man they did not know, they did not pay attention to him at all and continued to walk out, but unexpectedly, Ye Haochen who was sitting on the stone chair in the distance, suddenly appeared in front of the man running in front of him in a flash, extended his hand to stop him, and grabbed hold of the painting in his hand.
When he held it in his hand, he saw that it was actually a famous painting from the Song Dynasty. It could have been auctioned for at least a million yuan. If these guys could take it away, it would be a huge loss!
Since there were too many people, the things that they took away were too valuable. Ye Haochen was worried that they might cause some damage, and did not want to waste time, so he did not play the game of pretending to be a pig to eat the tiger, but directly made a move towards them. He took out his dagger and gently flicked it in his hand, causing the dagger to fly around a big tree.
It had to be known that even if a few big men were to cut down that hundred-year-old tree with a saw, it would still take a very long time, yet this youth was so strange. With a flick of his index finger, the dagger flew out and circled around the tree.
He knelt down on the ground and heard Ye Haochen say coldly: "If you don't want to die, obediently put that thing down where you are. If you want to die, you can continue to walk forward!"
How could those people dare to resist? They obediently put the items back.
Seeing this scene, Lamb was filled with joy. He had been sizing up Ye Haochen, and asked softly: "Miss Sun, who is this?"
Xiao Yushu's face flushed red as she introduced the Lamb: "He, he is my husband."
When Lamb heard this, he couldn't help but laugh, "Aiyaya, Miss Sun, you're already married. So this is Young Master." He rushed over and bowed towards Ye Haochen, bowing respectfully, "Greetings Young Master."
Ye Haochen anxiously said: "Don't, don't, old man, please don't be polite, just call me by my name."
The three of them sat in the pavilion at the side, laughing and chatting about Tian'er, Lamb once again recounting the crimes of these people, he was truly helpless and had no choice but to seek help from the Miss Sun, only to hear him say with tears in his voice: "This is a family property left behind by the Old Master, it was left to the Miss Sun, even if I had to risk my life, I still want to protect it."
Xiao Yushu was naturally very moved, and she also expressed her gratitude to Fu Bo.
Very quickly, the blood relatives of the older and younger people placed the things back to their original places, and walked out fearfully. When they reached the door, Ye Haochen had also instructed the other servants of Xiao's Mansion to check them one by one, not allowing them to steal even a nail.
It wasn't his first time coming to the Xiao's Mansion, but it was his first time visiting it in broad daylight and it was also his first time visiting it, so it was rare for him to have the time to visit it. Ye Haochen continuously praised it, how was this an ancient courtyard?
As he was walking, he suddenly felt something strange, Ye Haochen suddenly raised his head and looked forward, only to see a guy with a dirty face, crawling out of the dog hole, holding a bronze artifact in his hand, his face was full of excitement and satisfaction.
Ye Haochen appeared in front of the man in a flash and pulled him out.
That guy looked to be around 30 years old. Facing Ye Haochen who had suddenly appeared, he was extremely frightened, trembling in fear.
However, he was slapped unconscious by Ye Haochen and ordered the Lamb to send someone to throw him out.
Of course, Ye Haochen would not let him take away the bronze equipment, it had to be known that the bronze equipment was a cultural relic, it would be a waste if it was lost, he picked up the cultural relics and played with them in his hands, suddenly, his gaze landed on the dog hole that the fellow climbed out of, and upon closer inspection, it was not a dog hole, but a cave thief.
He walked over with interest and carefully investigated everything. He couldn't help but frown and made an excuse to have the Lamb bring Xiao Yushu to another place to take a look, while he stayed behind to research the cave. Very quickly, he found a mechanism and went into a secret underground room.
And this secret room, was the place where the fake Xiao Guoxing had always been hiding, yet had been discovered by Ye Haochen unwittingly.
