Mingruo was stunned for a moment. Are thieves so arrogant now? They come to steal in broad daylight!
Linglong fluttered her wings: Mom, let’s go catch the thief!
Mingruo tapped Linglong's wings to calm her down a bit. She turned around and said to Qiu Shui behind her: "Come with me to the warehouse and take a look. If you find anything unusual, don't make any announcement."
"Yes." Qiu Shui nodded and followed the young lady.
Mingruo and Qiu Shui tiptoed towards the small warehouse in the backyard. They were still some distance away from the small warehouse, when they saw Granny Chang, sent by Mrs. Beigong, sweeping in front of the door of the small warehouse.
There is a government banquet today, and each courtyard has sent people to help. Those who stay in the courtyard, because the master is at the banquet, will also find a place to take a nap and rest. Even cleaning should not be done at this time.
Mingruo took Qiu Shui and hid behind a rock, and poked her head to look at the small warehouse - the door of the warehouse was locked, and except for the strange cleaning done by Grandma Chang, there were no other abnormalities.
Mingruo frowned slightly, unable to tell what the reason was.
She felt Qiu Shui step back, and when she turned her head, she saw Si Haochen standing behind her. Just as she was about to ask him why he was here, Si Haochen asked her to look over at the warehouse.
Someone knocked on the door of the small warehouse from the inside. Grandma Chang looked around cautiously, then took out the key from her arms and unlocked the door of the warehouse. Another Yuan Yuan sent by Mrs. Beigong
Nanny, came out of the small warehouse with a bundle and two scrolls in her arms.
Mingruo was shocked by this operation. Where did they get the key?
Qiu Shui rolled up her sleeves and lowered her voice: "Young Madam, I will capture them now!"
Mingruo and Si Haochen looked at each other, and if they are caught now, they are just two slaves stealing, so they really can't cause much trouble..."
Si Haochen thought for a moment and said, "First find two skilled people to keep an eye on and see who instructs them."
"Then slave girl and Qingming will follow, while Qingfeng stays behind to guard the courtyard." Qiu Shui said and went to find Qingming.
After watching Aunt Yuan and Aunt Chang sneak into the house where they lived, with Qiu Shui and another boy watching in the dark, Si Haochen led Ming Ruo back to the bedroom.
Mingruo was still thinking, no wonder he didn't find a thief sneaking into the yard before, but lost something. It turned out that not only was it a thief, but he also had the key.
Now, what can we do to make things bigger?
Mingruo was still thinking when Si Haochen knocked on the door.
"Huh?" Mingruo blinked her big eyes and looked at the man with a straight face in confusion.
"How brave are you now? You dare to catch a thief alone, huh?" Si Haochen pinched Mingruo's pointed chin.
"Of course I don't dare to go alone, and I have Linglong and Qiu Shui with me!" Mingruo argued with reason.
Si Haochen bit Mingruo's lips: "No matter what happens in the future, you should come to your husband first, remember?"
"It hurts." Mingruo covered her lips that had been bitten by the 'big bad wolf'.
"If it doesn't hurt, you won't be obedient." Si Haochen pinched Mingruo's cheek.
Mingruo got out from between Si Haochen's arms, sat cross-legged on the Arhat bed, and continued to think about the problem just now.
Si Haochen lazily leaned on the pillow next to him: "Why don't you say anything?"
"Go aside and don't disturb my thoughts." Although the two nuns were brought to Qingqiuyuan by Mrs. Beigong, Mingruo felt that the person behind the theft of finances was probably not Mrs. Beigong.
After all, if word got out that she ordered her servants to steal her daughter-in-law's dowry, not only would Mrs. Beigong's reputation be ruined, but it would also drag down the entire Beigong family.
No matter who the instigator is, these two nuns are related to Mrs. Beigong. Even if this matter comes to Mrs. Beigong, in order to save the face of the Beigong family, Mrs. Beigong will not let the matter get bigger.
of……
This thing is a bit tricky to operate.
"Have you figured out a way?" Si Haochen picked up a cherry and threw it into his mouth, as if he had the overall situation under control.
Mingruo shook his head honestly: "Probably, no one wants to stand on our side."
"I have a good idea, do you want to hear it?" Si Haochen raised his eyebrows at Mingruo.
Mingruo looked at Si Haochen with heart-wrenching eyes: "Speak quickly!"
"Come here!" Si Haochen patted the place beside him.
Mingruo didn't show any pretense, and moved forward smoothly. Si Haochen was making plans in Mingruo's ear.
"Wonderful!" Mingruo poked Si Haochen's chest, "You are so bad, but I like it!"
"You~" Si Haochen caught his wife in his arms, "I hope the people behind the scenes won't let us down."
"Looking at the size of the baggage, there must have been a lot stolen this time. After all, it's all stolen goods, so they should be eager to take action." Mingruo analyzed.
In the evening, each courtyard began to pass meals to the large kitchen. Aunt Yuan and Aunt Chang walked out of the courtyard each carrying a large food box. Qiu Shui and Qingming, who had been watching in the dark, quickly followed...
Early the next morning, Mingruo and Si Haochen went to the main courtyard to pay their respects to the old lady as usual.
Mrs. Beigong looked at the 'young master Beigong' carefully: "You can't drink too much in the future. I heard that you are drunk, and my grandmother will be worried."
"My grandson would like to follow my grandmother's teachings." Si Haochen respectfully bowed to Mrs. Beigong.
Mrs. Beigong felt that she had done a good job in organizing the government banquet yesterday, so she deliberately came a little late today. Seeing that everyone else had arrived, she just smiled and said: "I'll tell my mother first. I was probably very tired yesterday.
Open your eyes, it's daylight."
"It doesn't matter." Over the years, Mrs. Beigong has long seen through her eldest daughter-in-law and is too lazy to argue with her about her little thoughts.
The second wife of Bei Gong felt that her second wife's position was unstable. Not only did she come early this morning, but she also knew that the old lady loved sweets, so she specially brought various snacks.
Mrs. Beigong invited Mingruo and Si Haochen to have snacks together. They all chatted while eating, and the atmosphere was quite good.
Si Haochen guessed that the time was almost up, so he said he was going to the small study room to discuss his homework with his grandfather.
When Mrs. Beigong saw her grandson's progress, she felt very comforted: "Go and do your business, as long as your wife is with me."
Si Haochen walked to the door and almost bumped into Qingming: "You are so frizzy early in the morning. What does it look like?"
Qingming quickly bowed his head and admitted his mistake: "You were reckless. I was at the pawn shop this morning and saw someone pawn something that was lost in our yard yesterday. Qingfeng had already escorted the thief to the Yamen, and I just came back to report the news."
Qingming's voice didn't sound loud, but everyone in the room heard it clearly.
Mrs. Beigong frowned, most of the things that were thrown into the inner house were domestic thieves.
The current city lord is from the Chunyu family, and he usually doesn't have much trouble with the Beigong family. This matter was brought directly to the Yamen, fearing that it would make things look bad.
