Chapter 142 Who did it?
"Please spare us, sir... We really don't know anything..."
"Miss, please say something. We are all loyal to you. How could we do such a betrayal..."
Hearing that they were going to be tortured, Gui Mama and the others were terrified and began to cry and wail. Their miserable cries soon spread throughout the entire Wen family. Even Old Madam Wen, who didn't have much to do with the affairs of the family, sent someone over to ask what was going on.
After Mrs. Mo sent away the old lady's people with a gloomy face, she called her own people in, gagged Gui Mama and the others, tied them up, tied them together like dumplings, and locked them all up.
Uncle Wen had to go to the government office for duty tomorrow, so he was too lazy to delay any longer. He just told the housekeeper to look into the matter carefully tomorrow, and then went to his favorite concubine's courtyard with a gloomy face.
"You should sleep with your mother tonight. We'll see if we can find those things tomorrow. If we can't, we'll have to build another yard."
Seeing Uncle Wen just leaving such a mess behind and not caring about it, Mrs. Mo almost bit her teeth to pieces. She silently cursed her in her heart, saying that she was a shameless slut who had been trying to seduce the master to find her all day long.
However, she only dared to curse a few words in her heart without showing it on her face. Feeling her daughter's fear, she had to comfort her and brought her back to her yard.
But soon, she looked at the house that looked like a swarm of locusts, and she felt a chill in her heart.
She ran into the house in panic and looked around, only to find that the thief had a sharp eye. All her valuable belongings had been taken away, leaving only rubbish all over the house.
Suddenly she thought of something and started searching everywhere again, but after searching for a long time, she still couldn't find her two keys. Her face suddenly turned pale.
Wen Jinzhu and the servants were already stunned with astonishment. Now seeing Mrs. Mo searching like crazy, they knew that she must have lost something valuable.
"Mom, you..."
Wen Jinzhu swallowed and was about to step forward when she was pushed by Mrs. Mo, causing her to stagger and fall several steps to the side, almost hitting the door frame.
Mrs. Mo didn't even bother to care whether Wen Jinzhu was okay or not. She just rushed out of the yard like crazy and rushed towards the most important place in the entire Wen family.
Seeing her like this, everyone including Wen Jinzhu had a guess in their minds and hurriedly followed her.
Soon, Mrs. Mo arrived outside the warehouse, and when she found that the big copper lock was still hanging on the door intact, she couldn't help but let out a deep breath.
Fortunately, even if all the things in her house were lost, they would not be worth much money. As long as the things here were still there, it would be fine.
Mrs. Mo felt relieved and reached out to touch the big copper lock, thinking that the key was most likely taken away by the thief. Even though the lock was still there, she dared not use it anymore. She would have to go back tomorrow to buy a bigger lock.
"pat..."
With a crisp sound, the smile on Mrs. Mo's face froze for a moment. She looked down and saw that the big copper lock had fallen to the ground and was easily broken into two pieces.
She suddenly had a very ominous premonition in her heart, and beads of sweat fell from her forehead. She pushed open the door of the warehouse, but it was pitch black inside and she could not see anything.
The old woman holding the lantern ran forward without any orders from her master. Mo snatched the lantern and rushed into the storeroom decisively. Soon, everyone in the yard heard her shrill and desperate roar coming from inside.
Who did it? Who did it?
To have such a great ability, not only to move all these things out in such a short time, but also to make people not notice it at all, is definitely not something an ordinary person can do. The only possibility is that someone bribed the servants of the Wen family, and emptied the entire Wen family with the help of internal and external forces.
wrong……
Mrs. Mo thought of another place and ran over there quickly with the lantern in hand.
Because Wen Wanwan had already been engaged and even the wedding date had been chosen long ago, but the first wife of the Wen family was away from the capital all year round, so the task of preparing Wen Wanwan's dowry was left to the second wife.
Although this dowry was prepared for Wen Wanwan, Mrs. Mo had other arrangements, so the things collected inside were all real good things. Anyway, the money was all paid by the eldest wife, so she had no reluctance at all to buy these.
Soon they arrived at the small warehouse. She touched the big copper lock with trembling hands, and sure enough, the lock fell off immediately.
It’s over, it’s over…
There is nothing left...
Mrs. Mo felt despair in her heart. When she thought about the fact that all the things she had worked so hard to get over the years were now being sold to others, she could no longer bear such a blow. She rolled her eyes and collapsed to the ground. If the maids had not reacted quickly, the lantern that fell on her would have burned her.
"Mother...Mother...please wake up..."
"Madam... call the doctor quickly..."
"I'll go tell the master..."
The people in the Wen family were in complete chaos, but the instigator of this incident did not go home directly, but came to the courtyard of the old princess of the Ning Palace with ease.
"Grandma, here I come again..."
The lights were still on in the old princess' room. Nanny Lin was there today. She was the person the old princess trusted the most and would never have any ulterior motives.
"This old slave has met the young lady."
The master had already told her about the matter, so when she saw Yuxiu coming, she bowed without saying a word, then retreated to the door and helped the two people in the room to watch outside to prevent anyone with bad intentions from approaching.
"Xiu Xiu, are you hungry? Come here quickly. Grandma has prepared some delicious food for you. It's been warming it on the stove..."
The old princess called Yuxiu over with a smile. She was in great spirits now, having taken a medicinal bath during the day and had a good sleep. She looked in very good condition.
"My granddaughter smelled the fragrance from a distance. I thought someone was making something delicious, but it turned out that my grandma prepared it for me..."
Yuxiu was not polite and followed the old princess's hand to sit down at the table. She saw the old princess open the lid of the pot, revealing a plate of osmanthus cake inside.
Yuxiu wanted to reach out to take the plate but was stopped by the old princess. She took the plate of osmanthus cake to the table herself, and Yuxiu saw a large bowl of meat underneath.
"We have stewed duck for dinner tonight. Grandma thinks it tastes good, so she asked someone to serve a bowl of it for you to eat..."
Whenever the old princess thought of Yuxiu's family living a hungry and cold life in Old Xu's house, her heart ached. Whenever she saw something delicious, she wanted to save some for them.
