After eating, everyone came to the side hall to drink tea, and the family talked and laughed, which was also a rare joy.

"Oops! Look at my brain! Shen Huizhen, who was originally peeling apples for her son, suddenly patted her forehead with a look of chagrin.

"Mother, what's wrong?" Lu Wanqing asked curiously.

"Master," Shen Huizhen looked at Lu Liangju and said, "Yesterday, someone from the third uncle's grandmother's house came and said that I wanted to borrow twenty taels for emergency, and I originally promised to send it today, but I was busy today, so I forgot about it!" Shen Huizhen stood up a little anxiously.

"Don't worry, it's still early, I'll send it over in person in a while." Lu Liangju put down the tea cup in his hand and said comfortingly.

Shen Huizhen glanced at her husband apologetically, and then instructed the maid on the side, "Xiaocui, hurry up to my room and bring the bag of silver in the makeup box." ”

"Yes." Xiao Cui nodded and immediately retreated.

"Alas! My mother is really old, and her memory is getting worse and worse. Shen Huizhen sat back in her chair and frowned while patting Lu Tingchang's hand.

"There are many affairs at home, and it is inevitable that there will be omissions, so you really don't need to be too yourself." Lu Tingchang smiled lightly and comforted.

Looking at her obedient and sensible son, Shen Huizhen finally smiled.

"Chang'er is right, it's not a big deal, you don't need to worry too much." Lu Liangju was in a good mood today, and it was rare for him to say two thoughtful words.

Shen Huizhen was moved here, but Xiaocui suddenly ran in in a panic.

"Madame, no! The silver is gone! Cui shouted loudly as she ran into the house.

"What?" Shen Huizhen stood up in shock, and looked at her husband Lu Liangju, "Master...... This ......"

"Check it out!" Lu Liangju had a calm face, and without saying a word, he strode out of the side hall.

Shen Huizhen saw Lu Liangju leaving, and hurriedly followed with her mother-in-law and maid.

Lu Wanqing couldn't help but glance at Xiahou Ying, and then chased after her with a smile.

In the end, only Xiahou Ying and Lu Tingchang were left in the house.

"Eldest sister, don't you go over and take a look?" Seeing that Xiahou Ying was still sitting there, drinking tea as if nothing had happened, Lu Tingchang couldn't help but ask in surprise.

Xiahou Ying turned her head to look at Lu Tingchang, smiled indifferently, put down the teacup in her hand and stood up, "Naturally, I want to go." Then, Xiahou Ying walked out of the side hall with Mama Lan, leaving Lu Tingchang with a confused face.

When Xiahou Ying came to the room of Shen Huizhen and Lu Liangju, the house was already full of people.

Although the Lu family is not a big family, they have always been strict in governing the family, and there has never been such a thing as theft for so many years, which naturally caused people to talk about it.

"I put that silver in this box yesterday, how can it be gone?" Shen Huizhen rummaged to herself while flipping through the drawers on her dresser.

"Who's in charge of looking after the house?" Lu Liang, who had already checked the inside of the house, asked in a loud voice.

"It's an old slave." An old woman stepped forward.

"Have any outsiders been here in the past two days?" Lu Liangju asked.

"If you go back to the master, no outsiders have entered the room in the past few days, but the housekeeper has come once, and he only replied a few words at the door and left." The old lady who was watching the house replied.

"What's so unusual about that?" Lu Liangju continued to ask.

"This ...... There's one piece, right...... Yesterday, the old slave went out to pour water, and when he came back, he saw Mama Lan in the eldest lady's room walking out of the room with a bag of things......"
