"Second sister, nothing like this has ever happened in our house, and I haven't heard them say there is a thief in the house."
Mu Ranran's voice was calm, and the meaning was self-evident.
"Ran Ran, what do you mean?"
After understanding what Mu Ranran meant, Yun Lingxiu looked over displeased:
"Is my Yiyi lying? You have lost all your sight."
Yun Lingxiu pointed at the box on the ground angrily. How many jewelry her daughter had, but all of them were gone.
"Er Niang, I didn't say that the second sister was lying, it's just that...she was the only one in the house who lost something. It's a bit strange."
Mu Ranran's expression remained calm, Mu Xiangxiang sneered:
"Eldest sister is right. The thief only targeted this place. Isn't it strange?"
"Miss..." Fat Meng also came over. When she left, the jewelry was still there, but now...
She didn't know what the lady meant, and she was very nervous.
With so little time, where can the lady hide the things?
Wouldn't it be troublesome if someone found him out soon?
Mu Yiyi gave Fat Meng a comforting look and sighed:
"Yes, I'm curious too? Otherwise, please report it to the official."
"You can't report to the official!"
As soon as Mu Yiyi finished speaking, the old lady hurried over.
It was probably because Aunt Xu sent someone to tell her about the situation that she came over in a hurry.
"How shameless is our Shangshu Mansion? How big of a deal is it to report to the official?"
"Yes, Yiyi, it's not a big deal. You must not report it to the official."
Mu Shangshu also came after hearing the news. He did not expect that there would be a thief in the house.
"Grandma, father, if you don't report it to the official, will my things be lost in vain?"
Haha, these two came at the perfect time.
She knew that there was no way they would allow reporting to the official.
This kind of matter is usually handled privately.
"Of course not. As a father, I will have someone investigate the house thoroughly."
Mu Shangshu said solemnly: "No outsiders came in today. I guess it was an insider. Yiyi, don't worry, the things will be found."
"Yes, second sister, don't worry."
Mu Ranran also said thoughtfully, and Mu Yiyi smiled softly, with a look of trust:
"My father and eldest sister said this, and I feel relieved. Alas, this is the jewelry that my uncle bought for me. I have saved it for so many years, and its total value is tens of thousands of taels of silver?"
Tens of thousands taels? Everyone's lips twitched with hatred, the Yun family was really rich.
It's worth so much money, not to mention Mu Xiangxiang, even the old lady is jealous.
The old lady's cloudy eyes looked at Mu Yiyi viciously.
Secretly thinking that this dead girl is really not a good person. She has so many good things, but she doesn’t know how to honor her grandmother.
In fact, the old lady also has a lot of good things.
"Sir, my subordinates have checked and no one has left the house in the past two hours."
At this time, Butler Feng ran over with someone and told him what he had found.
"I've checked the servant's room and couldn't find it."
"Have you checked everything?"
Mu Shangshu raised his eyebrows, but found nothing? It was really strange.
"Yes."
"Second sister, did you remember the wrong place where you put things?"
Mu Xiangxiang now suspects that Mu Yiyi did it on purpose.
Because Mu Shangshu was there, she obediently called her second sister. She usually called her by her first name.
"How is it possible? I misremembered the location of the jewelry, but the box is empty?"
Mu Yiyi sneered disdainfully:
"Third sister, this is such a good habit. Isn't that how you store your jewelry?"
"I...I just have reasonable suspicion."
Mu Xiangxiang pouted and muttered in a low voice: "I'm not sure, the thing is right here with you."
Her voice was not loud, but Mu Yiyi could hear clearly:
"Since Third Sister is so suspicious, let's search in my yard."
Mu Yiyi said this, and those who were doubtful became unsure.
If it was really Mu Yiyi who did it, how dare she let people search for it?
It’s okay if we can’t find this, but if we find it, Mu Yiyi’s reputation will be...
"Then look for it."
Mu Shangshu gave the order without even hesitating.
Yun Lingxiu's face turned pale.
She looked at Mu Shangshu in disbelief, opened her mouth, and whispered:
"Master, how could you?"
Search your daughter's room and yard. If word of this spreads, what will happen to Yiyi's reputation...
"Xiu'er, don't you want to find the lost jewelry as soon as possible? Our Shangshu Mansion cannot allow thieves."
Mu Shangshu glanced at Yun Lingxiu with an indifferent expression, no longer as considerate and gentle as before.
Yun Lingxiu felt a chill in her heart. Didn't he just return home?
Could it be that he already knows about the old lady's affairs?
But the speed of this change of face is too fast, right?
"Ke Yiyi's reputation..."
"They're all in the house. I'll warn them later and don't spread the word..."
After Mu Shangshu finished speaking, Mu Xiangxiang lowered his head and tried hard not to laugh.
It's impossible not to spread the word.
With so many servants on site, how could they keep everyone's mouths in check?
Even if everyone was really tight-lipped, she, Mu Xiangxiang, would not agree.
Humph, it’s true that evil comes with evil consequences.
Didn't Mu Yiyi want to ask her for those jewelry? You see, even God can't stand it.
…
Outside Luoyu Pavilion.
"Sir, is the second lady's jewelry really lost?"
An Er looked puzzled. He followed secretly and didn't see any thieves coming.
"Maybe."
King Ming looked at everyone in the room indifferently and sneered:
"This Mu Shangshu is really..."
"Yes, my subordinates all doubt whether the second lady is Mu Shangshu's biological daughter."
Is this really something a father can do without protecting his daughter's reputation at all?
"Mu Shangshu, he was my former son-in-law..."
After so many years, I wonder if the Meng family has ever regretted saving such a wolf-hearted person?
"Watch it. If necessary, help her."
By the time the words fell, the person had already gone far.
An Er patted his head suspiciously, their master really cared about the second young lady.
Could it be that he has a crush on the second young lady?
Impossible, they have masters.
The book girl is my childhood sweetheart and has been by my side all these years.
She is also the only woman beside me.
Moreover, she has a distinguished status, and the Empress Dowager likes her very much.
How is it possible for this second young lady and their father?
Not to mention the Queen Mother, even the Queen Mother would not be able to agree.
An Er shook his head. These were not things that he, a secret guard, could worry about. He should just do what his master arranged.
At this time, Mu Yiyi's room had been searched through, and naturally nothing was found.
"It's not in the room, maybe it's in the yard?"
She thought she was in the room, but she didn't see anything. Mu Xiangxiang's expression froze. She didn't believe that the thing was really lost.
