Lin Lan hastily went up and anxiously asked: "What did Father say?"
Li Ming allowed a solemn sigh to escape his lips and sat down with a flick of his hem.
"Didn't succeed?" Lin Lan asked tentatively.
Li Ming allowed his eyebrows to furrow as he looked at Lin Lan.
Lin Lan felt a wave of disappointment, and then comforted herself: "This time it didn't work out, we won't be discouraged, continue to work hard, I don't believe that old witch can't be dealt with."
Li Ming couldn't help but burst out laughing at her spirited appearance.
Lin Lan stared at him in shock, immediately understanding, this guy was fooling her again!
"Hey! What's wrong with this guy? He knows I'm worried, but he's still pretending. Hurry up and tell the truth!" Lin Lan scolded.
Li Mingyun smiled and said: "Tomorrow, let Zhou Ma bring people to the warehouse and move things back to Luoxiazhai!"
Lin Lanxi said: "Really? That's great, this effort wasn't wasted. By the way, what did Father say? Was there any punishment for the old witch?"
"Father is well aware of everything, but this kind of thing is not good to make public, can only be handled in a low-key manner. Although the old witch did not receive any punishment, Father has already lost hope for her. If things continue like this, the old witch's position will be precarious!" Li Mingyu's lips curled up with a hint of mockery.
"Hmph! If I'm to say, the old witch is also a fool. If she were smart, she should be better than her own son, but instead, she's so stingy that it's pitiful. Do you know? Before entering the Li household, I was worried that the old witch might be a smiling tiger, and all our plans would be rendered useless by her cunning ways. Now it seems like the opposite is true - I'm afraid she won't make a move. As long as she makes a move, we'll counter with an even more ruthless one." Lin Lan analyzed with a stern expression.
Li Mingyun raised an eyebrow and looked at her, his eyes deep and unfathomable. He said slowly, "It seems that whoever offends you will be unlucky." Look carefully... don't offend me.
Li Mingyun smiled: "We are husband and wife, a single entity. If I offend someone, it's the same as offending myself?"
Listening to him say this so bluntly, Lin Lan's face flushed with a wave of shyness, and she thought to herself: This guy, every day coming up with new ways to remind her that they're husband and wife, what is he trying to do? They already said they'd take things slow.
One big thing was done, Lin Lan slept especially well that night. Lying on the couch, Li Mingyu looked at the small figure in the canopy and felt a bit resentful, he hadn't had a chance to sneak into her bed lately! The sky gradually cooled down, this couch was really uncomfortable to sleep on.
The next day, Mother Zhou took people to the warehouse, holding a gift list one by one to check the goods, and ordered people to carefully move them back to Luoxiazhai.
"Second Mistress, all the things have been moved back and are temporarily placed in the library. However, it seems that several items are missing." said Zhou Ma.
Less is better, Li Mingyun told her last night that no matter how much, she should take it back first. Fortunately, the person who acted quickly. Otherwise, the loss would be great.
"Check a few less, sort them out and hand over the list to me." Lin Lan instructed.
Zhou's mother handed over the notebook: "It's already been organized."
Lin Lan thought to herself: Zhou Ma is indeed meticulous and thorough in her work. Fortunately, she has been a great help, saving me a lot of trouble.
"We're still okay, it's the young master and mistress who suffered a bigger loss. I saw Green Silk's face turn green when she went to check on our belongings." Old Lady Zhou said with a light smile.
Lin Lan was shocked: "The dowry has also been handed over?" She and Ming Yun had spent half a day's effort, but it turned out that the old witch had not only taken advantage of her sister-in-law, but also did not let go of her sister-in-law's dowry. It was truly shameless and without limits, hopeless.
"Yes, Master only said outside that both young masters have started their own families and should learn to take care of themselves." said Zhou Ma.
Lin Lan sneered: "The old master is also a mute eating bitter melon, pitiful and pitiful."
Today's Ninghe Hall, the atmosphere is particularly solemn. Even Chun Xing and Cui Zhi, who usually attend to Madame, can only wait outside the room, ten steps away from the door. Ye Zi was pacing back and forth.
Last night's commotion, few people knew about it. Only that the old master came with an unexpected expression, then the madam, Tian Mama and Zhao Guan Shi followed him to the warehouse. After that, the old master went to Liu Yiniang's place, while the madam returned to her room with an unexpected expression. Today, the two young mistresses sent people to move their belongings out of the warehouse.
So at this moment, everyone can think of is that the old man and his wife have had a disagreement on this matter, and the lady got angry.
Mother Jiang looked at the speechless madam and advised, "These small things, just take them back if you want to, don't be angry with Master over this." She had heard from Chun Xiang that Madam hadn't slept all night yesterday and didn't even eat breakfast this morning, so she came to persuade her.
Han Qiuyue's eyes gleamed coldly: "What do you know? This matter is very suspicious. That pair of rotating vases, I dare to conclude that no one has tampered with them. They were sent here as fakes. Ming Yun just happened to use this pair of rotating vases as a ploy. I'm very suspicious, this is the trap he set for me."
"Indeed, madam, you should be more careful from now on."
Han Qiuyue said angrily: "He dares to plot against me, how can I swallow this breath?"
"Madam, please bear with it for a while! If only one pair of rotating bottles had a problem, things wouldn't have gone this far. I'm afraid the second young master knows more than that, so he used the rotating bottle as bait to lure out the imitation matter. Could it be that someone in the warehouse has a loose tongue?"
Han Qiuyue furrowed her brow: "This matter was done in secret, and only two or three people knew about it. These people also know that they are trustworthy."
"Mother Jiang said, "There's no wall that doesn't let wind through, we still have to be careful about this. Moreover, Qiaorou hasn't been found yet, and none of the pawn shops in the capital city have received any business from her. Who knows where Second Master has hidden her? He's still holding onto our handles. Madam, endure for now! We can't let Second Master grasp our weaknesses again."
Han Qiu Yue's face showed a few shades of gloom: "I and he are destined to be arch-enemies, thinking that I won't make a move, will he let me off? Who knows what Ye Xinwei said to him."
"Madam, even if you want to take action, it's not suitable for you to do so. In about half a month, the old lady will arrive. The second young master can be disrespectful to you, but he cannot be disrespectful to the old lady. As I said before, as long as the old lady favors you and the eldest young master in her heart, the second young master won't be able to cause any trouble. One person may be cautious for a while, but who can guarantee that they will never make a mistake their whole life? We just need to catch him making one mistake, and then we can take severe action."
"Master... Master... The mistress is busy at the moment, let me inform her first..."
"Get up..."
Han Qiuyue's eyes narrowed slightly, "What are you doing here?"
Li Ming then lifted the door curtain and came in. Because of the big movement of putting down the curtain, the large red silk flower soft curtain kept swaying.
Li Ming had a grievance in his heart, but he didn't dare to be presumptuous in front of his mother. He walked up to her with a cold face and bowed: "Mother, I have something to ask you."
Han Qiu Yue's eyes were stern: "Getting more and more out of line."
Li Ming pursed his lips and remained silent.
"Speak! What is it?"
Li Ming wanted to speak but stopped, this matter was really hard to mention.
"A real man should speak and act straightforwardly, what's the point of being so hesitant?" Han Qiuyue was in a bad mood herself, and her tone wasn't good either.
Li Ming then said with a sullen expression: "Mother, today Ruo Yan went to the warehouse to retrieve her dowry, but why were there so many fewer things?"
Han Qiu Yue felt a wave of suffocation and didn't wait for Li Ming Yun to come and question her, but instead waited for her own biological son to come and settle the account.
"Is Yan complaining?" Han Qiuyue asked coldly.
"No, she didn't say anything. It was her maid who reported back to her when the son overheard it. 'Mother, these things are all stored in the warehouse, how can they be missing? We're not so poor that we have to use the daughter-in-law's dowry, are we?' Li Ming felt embarrassed about this matter. Although Yu Yan didn't say anything, her guilty expression made him uncomfortable, so he immediately came over to ask his mother what was going on."
"Who told you that the dowry was embezzled? Isn't it just a thing for the daughter-in-law? Mother worked so hard and suffered, wasn't it all for this? Just because the daughter-in-law's things are gone, you come to interrogate and scold me with this tone, have your conscience been eaten by a dog?" Han Qiuyue was scolded fiercely.
Li Ming became anxious, had he thought wrongly?
"Madam, don't get angry, be careful not to hurt your body, the young master doesn't know..."
"How can he speak without knowing the facts? Is he suspecting his own birth mother?" Han Qiuyue was indignant.
"Master, you've wronged the mistress. Yesterday, she just discovered that there's a thief in our household and many things are missing from the warehouse. It's not something to be made public, so she's investigating secretly. She's considering how Master and Second Master would think if they knew about the lost items, so she asked us to move them back today. Once the stolen goods are found, they'll naturally be returned to us."
Li Ming exclaimed: "Mother, who is so bold that they dare to steal things from the warehouse? Mother, we must report this to the authorities."
"This matter has nothing to do with Young Master, Sir and Madam have their own plans." said Jiang Mama perfunctorily.
Li Ming then understood the truth and looked ashamed: "Mother, it was your son's fault, please forgive me."
Han Qiu Yue was overcome with grief and couldn't help but cover her face and weep: "I really have been worrying for nothing."
Li Ming then deeply blamed himself and hastily said: "Mother, don't be angry, I was just thoughtless."
"Master, madam is worried about this matter, you'd better go back first!" said Mrs. Jiang, trying to mediate the situation.
After sending Ming Ze away, Han Qiuyue said listlessly: "As for Ruo Yan's things, pick a few to return to her. As for Ming Rong's side, we should also return two or three items. We can't just say that we only retrieved Ruo Yan's things."
"Yes, let me take care of this matter."
Han Qiuyue sighed and said, "Auntie Tian can't stay anymore. Let's give her a settlement fee to let her go back home and enjoy her old age! From now on, the warehouse will be handed over to Auntie Yao to manage. I think Auntie Yao is still reliable."
Still short of six votes and being caught up by others, seeking pink support! Can't lose at the last moment!
