Old Madam Xiang and Xiang Mingli sniffled, not daring to speak.
"So you won't talk? Fine. Men, go search. If you can't find it, I'll report this to the Emperor." Xiang Minghou was truly enraged.
Xiang Mingli grabbed his mother's arm, panicking. "Cough, cough..."
"I'll talk, I'll talk..." Seeing she could no longer hide it, Old Madam Xiang wiped her eyes. "I did eat some of the tonics, but your sister-in-law took the rest back to her family..."
Old Man Gu couldn't bear to listen. It was too humiliating.
'The tonics gifted to the little girl were all taken by his daughter-in-law back to her maiden home. Truly unbelievable.'
Xiang Minghou felt as if a stone were crushing his chest. He was so angry he could kill. In a suppressed voice, he asked, "And the jade, jewelry, gold, and silver?"
"Those..." Old Madam Xiang subconsciously glanced at Xiang Mingli.
Xiang Mingli frantically gestured with his eyes. 'If Big Brother finds out, I'm a dead man.'
"Speak," Xiang Minghou snapped.
