Chapter 222 I Swear Not to Be a Concubine (4)

Caiwei curled her lips and said disdainfully: "What's so great about it? It's just the palace. Even if they invite me to go in a sedan chair, I don't care, hum!"

The roof made another sound.

Mu Zhongqing looked up and looked at the roof, saying: "This house is a bit old, right? The tiles are loose. I'll find two tilers to re-stack the tiles later..."

After breakfast, Caiwei and her mother planned to go to the nursing home together. It was the New Year, so they bought some New Year goods for the old, young, sick and disabled people in the nursing home, so that they could feel the joy of the New Year.

Before leaving, Mrs. Du ordered Mrs. Liu and Aunt Zhang to pick a large bag full of various vegetables in the wing room, and also took a roast goose, a big fish, half a basket of crabs and half a roasted lamb to give them for the New Year.

When passing by a pastry shop, Caiwei asked Zhang Bo to stop the car, went in and bought three catties of soft grass seed cake, three catties of osmanthus cake, three catties of date cake and three catties of cooking cake, wrapped them in oil paper and carried them back to the car.

"See if there is anything missing? Buy them all."

Mrs. Du supported her daughter's good deeds and agreed with the idea of ​​spending money on the nursing hall to support the old, young, sick and disabled.

Caiwei thought about it and said, "Buy each of them a piece of clothing. It's the New Year, and they need to wear new clothes to add to the festive mood."

So Zhang Bo drove the carriage again and went straight to the ready-made clothing shop they often went to.

When she arrived at the ready-made clothing shop, Caiwei thought of what Fei'er had said to her, so she asked the clerk at the counter whether the few ready-made clothes she had customized were ready.

The waiter hurried into the inner room and took out the clothes. Caiwei and her mother took a quick look and were very satisfied. They put them away and went to choose clothes for the people in the Yangyang Hall.

Caiwei was familiar with the size of those people, so she quickly selected them. Just as she was about to go to the counter to settle the bill, she suddenly heard a customer who came in later say: "It's terrible. I just heard that the Lu family was robbed last night."

Another customer was surprised and said: "Who is so bold as to rob the Lu family?"

The previous customer said: "It's not just stealing, it's simply moving the house. I heard that the whole mansion was emptied, not to mention the gold and silver treasures, even the tables and chairs were not spared. They also made the flower-like Mrs. Lu look like a ghost, painted her whole face blacker than ink, but it couldn't be washed off no matter how hard she tried, and shaved her hair bald, which was scary. Now Mrs. Lu is threatening to die!"

Hearing such explosive news, the shopkeeper and the clerks in the shop came over and couldn't help gossiping.

"The Lu family is so big, how much noise would it make to empty the house? Did no one notice it?"

The customer who broke the news said: "But it's strange, there was really no noise at all, even the servants who were on night watch didn't see a ghost, the house was emptied so quietly, it's really weird. Oh, by the way, the rice shop of the Lu family was also emptied, the two guys on night watch went to visit brothels last night, and were not on duty in the rice shop. When they came back, the rice shop was empty, but fortunately a thief fainted in the rice shop for some reason, and he has been caught now, just waiting to be interrogated after he wakes up."

"Now, the Lu family must be in chaos, right?"

"That's right, the money that the Lu family had accumulated for many years was lost, even Mrs. Lu's private savings for many years were gone, and even the savings of the concubines were stolen. It can be seen that the thieves searched every room and left nothing behind. "

When someone heard someone search the concubine's room, someone immediately had evil fantasies: "So, outsiders have entered the Lu family's women's rooms. I wonder if they have lost their virginity? If so, Mr. Lu would be even more pitiful, hehe..."

Caiwei twitched her lips and imagined that most rumors in the world came from this way. People relied on their wishful thinking to add details and turned the original truth into what they imagined. Now, I'm afraid that before night, all kinds of versions of the Lu family women being insulted by thieves will be circulated everywhere in the town...
