Chapter 2547: Chapter 2547: Money? What Money?
The earthen jar Old Lady An held in her hand was used to store money and silver certificates. Usually, this earthen jar was kept in a hole in the wall by her bedside.
She hadn’t taken it out to look for several days.
She assud the money would definitely be there; little did she know when she took out the earthen jar just now, there was nothing left inside.
“Was it you, did you all take my money, was it?”
Her body shook, and she turned to look at the crowd that had rushed into the room, sharply accusing them.
“Money? What money?”
Older An and the others were completely baffled. Usually, it was Old Lady An who kept the money; they never had the chance to lay hands on it.
They didn’t even dare to enter Old Lady An’s room, so how could they be accused of taking the money without any proof? That’s not how things should be said!
Second Elder An thought the sa, feeling that his mother’s words were truly harsh.
“Mom, we don’t even know where you hide your money.”
“That’s right, Mom, your room is always locked. How could we get in? Even though we’re the younger generation, it’s not right for you to falsely accuse us like this!”
Auntie i also stepped forward and spoke to Old Lady An.
She hadn’t expected Old Lady An to give them any of the money anyway, as Old Lady An only cared about her treasured eldest grandson.
Now that the money was gone, it was just as well — if she couldn’t get it, then no one else should either!
“Mom, could you have misrembered? Maybe you already spent the money on certain people in the family? After all, so people often ask you for money.”
As she spoke, she glanced at An Que a few tis.
She wasn’t the only one who saw An Que asking Old Lady An for money before. Maybe An Que was the one who spent all the money?
“Auntie, what are you talking about? How much money does Grandma have here? Isn’t she clear about it herself?” An Que’s face turned cold upon hearing Auntie i’s words, clearly displeased.
He was already upset about the missing money, and now his aunt was making such remarks, did she really think he was easy to bully?
He might have lost his scholar status, but he still had connections. He didn’t believe his classmates wouldn’t help him if he asked.
“Grandma, are you sure you kept the money in this jar?” he asked, looking at Old Lady An.
If she was sure, then there was only one possibility. The money must have been taken by soone from An Jiuyue’s household, perhaps even secretly taken without An Jiuyue or Prince An Yang knowing.
After all, An Jiuyue was now Prince An Yang. It wouldn’t make sense for her to do sothing so unseemly, to secretly take the family’s hidden money.
“Of course it’s here. This jar was left by your grandfather. How could I rember it wrong?”
Because the earthen jar was small and could fit into the hole by the bed, she kept it all along. How could she rember it wrong?
Moreover, it was money and silver certificates. Even if she forgot anything else, she wouldn’t forget where she put the money!
“It’s all gone, all gone, Que’er, what should we do now?”
Old Lady An began to wail; this earthen jar contained all their family’s possessions. Now that it was gone, how could they carry on with their lives!
