Hearing Mrs. Wei’s words, Uncle Pei Jiu’s heart tightened and he immediately pressed for answers, "Boss Wei, is there something you are hiding from us? What is that thing?"
Jiangli glanced at Uncle Pei Jiu without a word.
Boss Wei looked into Mrs. Wei’s eyes and got a shock, suddenly remembering something, "Could it be, could it be that thing?"
"What exactly is that thing, can you please clarify?" Xun Tianhai was getting impatient with their riddles.
Boss Wei stuttered, "About three months ago, I, I managed to find a pair of Tiger Head Shoes at the antique market, exquisitely embroidered. Hearing that it was an object from the Qing Dynasty and had a beckoning effect, I bought it."
"What Tiger Head Shoes?" Uncle Pei Jiu’s expression darkened, "Why didn’t you mention such a thing earlier?"
Boss Wei’s eyes bulged, "You didn’t ask either, did you? Besides, I bought that thing three months ago, and there was no issue all this time. Only these past few days, some problems arose, what does that have to do with the shoes?"
Uncle Pei Jiu was choked with anger.
Jiangli spoke in a calm voice, "Where are the shoes? Can I take a look?"
Boss Wei frowned, "I don’t think those shoes have anything to do with this matter."
Xun Tianhai immediately said sternly, "Whether it is related or not is not for you to decide, Boss Wei. If Yin Energy or dirty things are not generated from within the house, they must have been brought in from outside. If you haven’t been to any abnormal places, then it must be something that was brought into the house recently. Let us take a look at it so that we can determine."
"Just let them have a look," Mrs. Wei said upon hearing this, her unease growing as she remembered the Tiger Head Shoes, and she tugged at Boss Wei’s sleeve.
Boss Wei hadn’t connected the dots to that object until now.
Now that they mentioned it, he was also becoming anxious.
He pursed his lips and said, "Alright then, I’ll go get the Tiger Head Shoes."
With that, he headed toward the study.
Seeing which room he was heading to, the very one where Jiangli had detected a problem before, everyone’s heart sank.
Seeing this, Jiangli followed him.
Seeing Jiangli follow, without a second thought, the others followed suit.
Boss Wei entered the study and took out a pair of Tiger Head Shoes from a display cabinet.
Turning around, he saw that the others had followed him in.
Boss Wei jumped with fright, "Why, why did you all come in?"
Jiangli looked at the Tiger Head Shoes in his hands and said, "Put it on the table, don’t touch it."
Hearing her sudden command, Boss Wei’s heart tightened, as if the Tiger Head Shoes indeed were trouble.
He quickly placed the Tiger Head Shoes on the desk.
"These Tiger Head Shoes don’t appear to be anything special, right?" Uncle Pei Jiu said, looking at the shoes from the side.
The Tiger Head Shoes looked like an ordinary pair. The only highlight was probably the embroidery on the shoes, which seemed to be made of gold and silver threads. Placed on the desk, with the light from above shining, they glistened brilliantly.
Not only that, the eyes of the Tiger Head Shoes were also quite unique, made of white jade instead of the usual pearl embellishments.
It looked like someone took extra effort to make them.
Moreover, they were well-preserved and looked new, not like old articles.
At first glance, they were clearly modern imitations.
There was no sign of anything unusual about them.
Uncle Pei Jiu and the others really couldn’t see what was so special about this pair of Tiger Head Shoes.
When they had come in for an inspection a short while ago, they had seen these Tiger Head Shoes.
But seeing nothing unusual, they hadn’t paid much attention to them.
They didn’t understand why Jiangli was so fixated on these Tiger Head Shoes.
