Chapter 557 Miss Tian is pregnant
There was no escaping now, but a new dispute arose. Although a considerable part of these antiques might have been given to Director Shen by the Marshal at the time in order to marry him, and they also included jewelry and calligraphy and paintings from the Ji family acquired later, but now they were nominally Director Shen's inheritance.
And it is kept by a Japanese named Mitsui. The Japanese are now rampant in Shanghai. He will definitely not be willing to give it to you using conventional means.
Not to mention that Miss Shen and Director Shen's illegitimate son were not on good terms. Gui'er felt that the relationship here was already a mess. No wonder Mitsui was so sure that this batch of treasures would eventually fall into his hands.
Gui Er frowned and asked, "According to normal laws, the heir to this thing should be the illegitimate child of Miss Shen and Director Shen. There's no reason for us to intervene, right?"
Sha Yanxiao sneered and said, "Let's find the address first. Father gave so much money back then, but Director Shen died not long after my eldest brother and Miss Shen got married. He didn't even have time to give our family any benefits. Father was furious. And Miss Shen eventually divorced my eldest brother. I guess my father would have to snatch his treasure back even if he had to."
Then he said to Wu Mingqiang, "We're going back to Jiangcheng to celebrate the festival tomorrow. You stay and continue investigating this address. Don't let up on Director Shen's mistress. She might know some clues."
Early the next morning, Sha Yanxiao took Gui'er on the train back to Jiangcheng. It happened to be the Mid-Autumn Festival when they arrived in Jiangcheng, so they could make it back to the Marshal's Mansion for a reunion dinner.
As soon as he arrived at the Marshal's residence, Sha Yanxiao first reported the situation to the Marshal and also brought Gui'er along.
When the Marshal heard about the information they had found, most of which was found by Gui'er, he was very satisfied. He stroked his bald head, laughed heartily, walked over and pinched Gui'er's cheek, and said, "I knew Gui'er was our tiger girl, right? She's so capable and courageous that she dared to go to the Japanese trading company to investigate. So, Old Shen's treasure should be found soon."
Sha Yanxiao said, "It will take some time, but it should be soon. After all, we've already locked down the area, and we already have Director Shen's will. We can pretend to claim it when the time comes, but I'm not sure if it will work."
The Marshal waved his hand and said, "These are not important. As long as I have the address, I will get it back even if I have to send people to rob it. Old Shen died without injustice. The fault lies in his death. He also disappeared with a lot of my treasures. I want to take his treasures as well."
The Marshal's Mansion invited quite a few guests to the Mid-Autumn Festival banquet, including the Liang Mansion and the Song Mansion. Song Xichen also came. Guier took the opportunity to tell Song Xichen about the situation.
Song Xichen said, "I also heard about this from Shopkeepers Liu and Zhang. I was worried that something might happen to you in such a complex and volatile environment. Fortunately, you're back safely now. Gui'er, you've grown up. I believe you can complete any tasks we have in the future with flying colors."
Gui'er was very happy to hear that, but she caught a glimpse of Sha Yanxiao staring at Song Xichen with sinister eyes. Although she didn't know the reason, she quickly walked away from Song Xichen and went to chat with Sha Lili.
Sha Lili said, "You've been really busy since you came back this time. I haven't even seen you once or twice, and you've already gone to Shanghai for fun. I don't think you're really going there for fun. You must have something else to do."
Gui Er didn't hide it from her and said, "Let's go to Shanghai to investigate Director Shen's former inheritance. There are many treasures in it that my father gave to the Shen family so that my eldest brother could marry Miss Shen. My father wants to take them back."
She perked up when she heard that and said, "So what? Did you get it?"
Gui Er smiled bitterly and said, "It's not that easy, Director Shen. He wanted to take his concubine and the treasure and run away. We only found a rough clue. Even if we found the place, it would be very troublesome. After all, we are not his heirs. So, it is his property now."
Sha Lili sneered and said, "You really don't understand what kind of person our father is. Whatever he wants is his rightfully his the moment he wants it."
Gui Er shook her head and smiled, "Of course I know my father's character, but that's Shanghai, not Jiangcheng."
Sha Lili smiled and said, "You underestimate your father. Just wait and see. You will soon know his methods."
Guier smiled helplessly, turned around and found that the Marshal was gone. Looking back, Mrs. Song was also gone. Needless to say, the two of them must have hooked up together again. She didn't expect that even with the Marshal in such a bad condition, the two of them were still fooling around.
However, the eldest lady, Miss Tian, was surrounded by everyone like a star surrounding the moon. Even the lady seemed to want to please her, which surprised Gui'er very much.
Sha Lili smiled and said, "You went to Shanghai and missed a lot of the excitement. Didn't you know that your sister-in-law is pregnant?"
Gui'er said in surprise, "Is this true? I just found out."
Sha Lili said mysteriously, "It hasn't been officially announced yet. They said it can't be announced before three months. But you know that Jin Bao was originally hired because my sister-in-law felt she couldn't have children. Now she might want to get rid of Jin Bao, so she quietly let it out."
Guier looked around and saw Jinbao standing aside with a wronged look on his face, like a bullied young wife.
Sha Lili whispered in Gui'er's ear, "You'd better not meddle in their affairs, or you'll get yourself into trouble. I heard that Miss Tian is also a ruthless character. When she was a daughter, she was very arrogant in her own family and even killed a maid. But Director Tian is a high-ranking government official, so she suppressed it."
This was the first time Gui'er had heard of this. She asked Sha Lili, "You know so much! I lived with her in Nanjing every day, and I didn't even know about this."
Sha Lili sighed and said, "You just don't care about what's happening outside. Since we are all sisters, let me tell you one more thing. Father has set his sights on Taohua. You'd better tell her to be careful."
Gui'er was shocked. She recalled the time when she took Taohua out to meet Wu Dafu in cheongsam, and the look in his eyes when they met, and suddenly felt a chill in her heart.
She said to Sha Lili, "How did you know?"
Sha Lili smiled mysteriously: "My mother spent a lot of money to please the steward around him. I can't say anything to Sister Taohua, so you should tell her to be careful."
