Hope for luck

Chapter 166
Gao Pan's words not only made Ding Lao a little surprised and embarrassed, but even the elders in the room were a little shocked.

"Brother Pan, how do you talk? Why is Mr. Ding not Mr. Ding?"

Gao Qibai, who had never spoken, suddenly reprimanded him.

Seeing this, Gao Pan bowed to Gao Qibai, and then said:

"So that the fourth uncle knows that Ding Lao, as the housekeeper of our family, is arrogant in everything he does. Even if it's me, the fifth young master, if you don't call him Master Ding, he won't even want to talk to you! What do you think, Ding Lao?" Father!"

When Ding Lao heard this, his face changed drastically, and he trembled and said:

"Fifth young master, the villain has never provoked you. Why do you want to frame the villain like this? Master, ladies and gentlemen, no matter what the villain is, he knows that he is a servant of the Gao family. The fifth young master also I don't know who was bewitched to say these words, please give me a lesson from my lord, lords and wives!"

As soon as the words fell, Gao Pan took the words coldly and said:
"What a servant of the Gao family, but you still know that you are a servant of the Gao family? If outsiders don't know, they have to call you Master Ding, right? Master Ding, if you want people to know you have to do nothing, you know that embezzling the master's house Property, what kind of crime is that? At least it will be exiled, and at the worst it will be executed!"

Gao Pan's words shocked everyone, even Mrs. Gao was sitting upright at the moment, looking at Gao Pan sharply, while the rest of the people looked at him in horror, as if they knew him.

"Fifth Young Master, you have to be more conscientious when you speak. I... I... the villain has been on duty in the Gao family for 50 to [-] years. I am the son of the Gao family. I put all my heart on the Gao family. How dare I do anything that is not good for the Gao family?" thing!"

Ding Lao seemed to be aggrieved and knelt in the hall, with a loyal but questioned look, which made people look sideways.

"Gao Pan, that's enough. If you have anything to say, just say it. Why do you have to show off your tongue here?"

Old Mrs. Gao said loudly with wide eyes.

Seeing this, Gao Pan was not afraid, and still bowed and said unhurriedly:
"Grandfather, you may not know that Ding Lao's family is full of children and grandchildren, and his grandson has become a well-known child prodigy. I heard that he is going to enter the examination room. That Ding's house is built just like ours. When outsiders see him, they have to call him Master Ding." !"

Upon hearing this, Mrs. Gao stared at Ding Lao, who was kneeling in the hall tremblingly, with wide eyes, and asked angrily:

"Butler Ding, is there such a thing!"

After hearing the question and answer, Ding Lao trembled all over, and still said very aggrieved:
"Old master Mingjian, the villain's family is indeed prosperous, but the house is known to all the masters and wives in the mansion. The second young master went to see it once, and he didn't think it was very good. Why did it become a place in the mansion after being told by the fifth young master?" Is it alright? Even if the villain has the guts, he doesn’t have such money!”

As soon as the words fell, Mrs. Ren suddenly stood up and said:

"My lord, my daughter-in-law has heard about this, and Yuan'er did go to his house to see it. When she came back, she said that it is just a simple courtyard, which is nothing. Therefore, my daughter-in-law didn't tell you!"

Mrs. Ren was defending Ding Lao, the housekeeper. Seeing this, Gao Pan didn't think it was strange, but continued to say coldly:

"Auntie, until now you are still helping this wolf-hearted servant. It is no wonder that there is so much silver in the public house, and it will still be short-lived and unable to make ends meet. These servants have built lofts and courtyards in their homes. Not to mention, You still have three or five concubines, doesn't your aunt know about this?"

After hearing this, Mrs. Ren, who was already very restless, felt even more upset, and looked at Gao Pan angrily, unable to say a word.

It was natural for her to say, who would care about how the servants are doing?Is it okay to live a good life by yourself?

But in front of Mrs. Gao, she can't say that!

"Gao Pan, you have to speak responsibly. Even if you are a young master, you can't slander servants out of thin air. Is there any real evidence?"

Old Mrs. Gao's mentality also slowly changed, with an angry look on his face, no one dared to say no.

"Back to my grandfather, you only need to send someone to take a look at the house where Ding Lao and other housekeepers are in charge to find out. In addition, the first thing that attracted the attention of my grandson was not the Steward Ding, who was always sloppy. It's Gao Nan, the steward next to Uncle!"

Seeing that Mrs. Gao asked a question, Gao Pan still answered steadily, so that the rest of the seniors of Gao's family didn't know how to describe Gao Pan.

If it were someone else, I'm afraid he wouldn't even be able to explain clearly at the moment, but Gao Pan can speak clearly and clearly. Now it seems that Gao Pan is really different from the past.

"Gao Nan? What proof do you have?"

Mrs. Gao continued to interrogate.

"There are three pieces of evidence. First, the grandson discovered that he had a large amount of money in the name of Datong Bank. The grandson does not know how much. Second, Gao Nan raised a private concubine in Xingrenfang. If you invite me, you will know it, and thirdly, the money that the uncle originally used to pay for the second brother has been swallowed up by him, so you must know it as soon as you ask!"

Gao Pan bowed and replied calmly, dragging out all the things he knew before.

When Mrs. Gao heard about it, her face was full of anger, and she slapped the table hard, causing the teacups on the table to vibrate slightly, and angrily said:
"Bastard, come here, tie up that Gao Nan!"

Gao Pan's appearance is very different from that of a liar, and Mrs. Gao naturally understands that Gao Pan's words are probably inseparable. Therefore, it is not that someone invites Gao Nan for questioning, but directly He tied it up, and it was ready to be disposed of directly!

"Master, calm down. How can Gao Pan's words alone break the crime of being in charge? Gao Nan, his daughter-in-law knows it. He has been loyal to the master for many years and is only for the sake of the Gao family. Please Don't be fooled by the words of Gao Pan's family!"

Mrs. Ren suddenly thought of something, and hurriedly stood up to persuade her sadly.

Before Mrs. Gao could speak, Gao Pan had already answered sharply:

"Mrs. Ren, do you still want to cover the sky with one hand? In front of grandfather, what is there to hide? Or, Gao Nan has done some shameful things for you, so you have to protect him?"

Mrs. Ren's face was full of ferociousness when she heard this. If it wasn't for Mrs. Gao who was right in front of her eyes, she would have wished to strangle Gao Pan to death before her eyes, and then said in a sharp voice:

"Fraud... four, the Gao family has you who don't know the rules and don't know the rules and etiquette, which is the biggest disaster of the Gao family. I'm talking to the old master. When will it be your turn to settle down and be undisciplined? Something, speak?!"

The posture of Gao Pan and Mrs. Ren, like shrews swearing at the street, made everyone in the hall extremely horrified.

Especially what Mrs. Ren said at the end was even more shocking and endless. After saying this, the whole hall became dead silent again in an instant, and no one dared to speak loudly!
