"Whoever took it, hand it over now and I will spare his life. If I find him out, don't be so polite now."

Hong Erniang was dressed in black, with a hairpin on her head to hold up her black hair. She had a lot of powder on her face. She looked very young and agile. All the people in the yard gathered together.

"Er Niang, I really don't know why I lost something. You can't solve the problem by getting angry like this. Why don't you think carefully about whether you put it somewhere and forgot to take it out."

"We are all from the outer courtyard and cannot approach Madam's residence at all. Madam rarely leaves the inner courtyard. Maybe the things have been put away by Madam's personal maid. Otherwise, we can ask Miss Lian'er when she comes back."

The butler came out and spoke for the people, since few people entered this place.

Not many people can move around Madam's residence. This is convenient for checking, and secondly, it is also for Madam's safety.

"Where is Lian'er now?"

With a bit of suspicion in her eyes, she asked, Lian'er is her daughter, there is no way she could betray her, not to mention her immature mind, unlike some people who always plot against her.

"I went out and said I wanted to buy cakes for my wife. As soon as I left, you summoned people here." She didn't lie. Lian'er was nervous and had nothing to do all day long. "Your things, say

Maybe Miss Lian'er is keeping it, or when Miss Lian'er comes back, Er Niang will be interrogating us."

"Only Miss Lian'er can enter Madam's residence. People of our status have no way of hanging around Madam's door."

"That's right. Maybe Miss Lian'er took it away and it has nothing to do with us servants. Otherwise, Madam, please wait until Miss Lian'er comes back and confront her."

Hong Sanniang frowned, still suspecting that there was a mole inside, so she let the things go missing.

She carried that book with her. Lian'er also knew the importance of the book and rarely touched it.

"Continue the search. It's impossible for Lian'er. After the last time I beat her, she didn't even want to take a look at the book."

She said with a cold face, not trusting her subordinates. If they hadn't used poison to control them, they might have torn off her head.

"Miss Lian'er is back."

The girl in blue clothes came back carrying a box of pastries. She walked towards Hong Erniang with a bit of a smile.

"Madam, I bought some pastries for you. Try them. They are delicious."

Lian'er still didn't know the current situation, so she asked with a smile on her face.

"Lian'er, did you touch anything in my room?"

"No, Lian'er has never touched anything in Madam's room. Madam took care of it herself." Lian'er shook her head. She definitely wouldn't touch anything in Madam's room. The last time she moved a writing brush, she was beaten.

His face was bruised and purple, "Lian'er will never dare to touch Madam's things. Lian'er still has wounds from Madam's last beating."

She has a long memory and can touch anything except the things in the wife's room.

"Then who dropped my book? I was reading it fine, but when I woke up, the book had been changed, and the whereabouts of my previous one were unknown. No one else could be found except you entering the house."

She also doubted who could have taken her daughter away if she hadn't done it.

She was on guard against everyone except her daughter. Could anyone be using the art of disguise to deceive her?

"It's not me, it's really not me, I don't know anything."

"Lian'er really didn't move. She left after delivering the cakes."
