Lee's face was like white paper, and his body holding the money box was shaky.

"How...... It's all gone......"

Looking at Li's dejected appearance, the villain in Ye Zhiwei's heart couldn't help but secretly applaud: Aunt is really a powerful acting school, and she deserves it!

The mother-in-law who was dragged in by the housekeeper's mother was frightened and panicked, threw herself on the ground, trembling all over, and kept muttering: "No...... Not an old slave...... It's not an old slave! ”

Li Shi looked at the woman viciously, "It's not you, who else!" ”

The woman raised her head and said with a sad face: "Big lady, you forgot, you ordered the old slave to help you take care of those account gentlemen to check the accounts?" Said to wait for the accounts to find out and let the old slave tell you? ”

"Then what are you doing in the lady's room!" The housekeeper's mother shouted, "It must be that your hands and feet are not clean, you took the title deed and the house deed in this box, those things are all Miss San's, you will come out soon, otherwise you will look good!" ”

"The old slave is really wronged!" The woman shouted.

Ye Zhiwei glanced at the mother-in-law, and there was something she didn't understand in her heart, but she was afraid that the mother-in-law was just a substitute ghost pushed by the Li family to the stage.

Sure enough, the housekeeper's mother didn't ask a few words and shouted: "You greedy for money, Mrs. treats you well, but I didn't expect you to have such an idea in your heart, if you let your children know, they will definitely not allow you!" ”

At this time, the housekeeper's mother deliberately mentioned her children, which was secretly warning her, it doesn't matter if you die yourself, don't forget that your children are still begging for a living under the hands of the Li family.

The woman had no choice but to put her heart sideways and simply remained silent.

Li Shi said angrily: "Come on, drag this shameless slave out, and hit the thirty boards first!" ”

Seeing this, several subordinates standing by the door hurriedly stepped forward and dragged the woman out.

"Wait a minute!" Ye Zhiwei stopped.

Li's expression froze, "Why did the third young lady stop me?" You must know that this slave has stolen your title deeds and house deeds, and if you don't get them back, those shops will have already been sold by her......"

Ye Zhiwei ignored the Li family, turned to Zhenguo and said: "Regardless of whether this person has stolen or not, he has to check it first, how can he directly drag it down and hit the board, if these thirty boards go down, I am afraid that everyone is already dead, how can I still ask for a confession?" ”

"I'm afraid there is something else going on." The second lady couldn't help but make up for it on the side.

Li jumped up, "I wholeheartedly do things for our house, and share my father's worries, but now I have lost something but it is going to fall, I can't live this day!" ”

Zhen Guogong glanced at the Li family, turned his gaze back to the mother-in-law, and said word by word: "Let me ask you, are you a subordinate in the Li family's courtyard?" ”

The mother-in-law knelt on the ground, trembling and unable to speak, "Return...... Back to the master's words...... Old...... The old slave is the eldest lady...... ...... in the courtyard"

"You just took the contents of that box?"

"No ......" the mother-in-law just wanted to shake her head, but suddenly nodded again.

"Did you steal those title deeds?" Ye Zhiwei asked.

The mother-in-law turned white and said, "The old slave really doesn't know what is in the box, the old slave is wronged!" ”

"Nonsense! She was the one who took those things! The housekeeper's mother said.

Zhenguo Gong ordered: "Come on, search her body." ”

Soon a few people came over and searched the mother-in-law's body, "Grandpa Guo, she has nothing on her." ”

"Maybe she stole it a few days ago, and she was probably going to sell it by this time!" Li gritted his teeth viciously.

"Why didn't my aunt say that she hid the title deed, but said that she sold it?" Ye Zhiwei tilted her head and said curiously, "With her identity, it is not easy to go out to the shop, it has only been five days in total, how can she find a buyer." ”

"Who else is there besides her, when the old slave entered the house just now, he saw her holding this money box in her hand." The housekeeper's mother said.

Zhenguogong's face sank like water, he originally thought that the Min family's shop was just a trivial matter, and he didn't want to make a fuss now.

"Actually, it's not difficult to find out about this matter." The gold steward on the side suddenly spoke.

Zhen Guogong turned his head to look at him, "Can you tell me?" ”

Jin Mingyang said respectfully: "I am not talented, I am quite familiar with the city, and I know the shopkeepers of many shops. ”

Zhen Guogong nodded silently.

The golden steward saluted and hurried away.

Li's face was a little ugly, Zhen Guogong has always been lazy to manage the affairs of the back house, so many years she has been able to cover the sky with one hand, but I didn't expect that today Zhen Guogong would investigate this matter to the end.

Everyone was waiting in the front hall, and Zhen Guogong sat there drinking tea with a calm face, and the atmosphere was extremely depressing.

Li's heart kept beating drums, and the mother-in-law who was kneeling on the ground had already rolled her eyes in fright, and was dragged to the porch outside, blowing the wind, and pressing the person, and it took a long time to wake up, but she was frightened and incontinent.

After more than an hour, when everyone was about to fall asleep, the golden steward returned.

He sweated profusely and entered the front hall, came to the side of Zhenguo Gong, and whispered a few words.

Li Shi saw that Zhen Guogong's face was suddenly extremely ugly, and he couldn't help but chuckle in his heart, it's over!

Sure enough, Zhen Guogong raised his head and stared at Li with a sharp gaze, "Steward Jin, you can repeat what you just said, so that everyone else can listen to it." ”

Steward Jin cleared his throat, "Those shops have all inquired about it, and the shopkeeper and the owner have been replaced a year ago." ”

The second lady couldn't help but tilt the corners of her mouth when she heard this, "So this land deed really wasn't stolen by that mother-in-law?" ”

Ye Xuelian, who was standing next to her, echoed softly: "If it was really her who stole it, how could it be that the shop has changed hands for more than a year." ”

A mother and daughter in the second room sang and harmonized, only blackening Li's angry eyes.

"Lee!" Zhen Guogong shouted in a deep voice: "What other explanation do you have? ”

So far, the Li family can only come to death and not admit it, anyway, she is Ye Dongzhou's main room, even if she sells a few Min shops, what if she can still drag her out to play the board? At most, she will lose money.

Thinking of this, Li's flustered mood calmed down a little, "The concubine really doesn't know what's going on, those shops have always been managed by the shopkeepers below, I think they secretly did something wrong, and when the concubine finds out, they will definitely be severely punished!" ”

Zhen Guogong snorted coldly, "Show me the list of those shops." ”

The gold steward handed over a list, and Zhen Guogong was stunned for a long time when he saw the list.

He had thought it was just a few shops, but now he saw the long list...... How many are these? There are dozens of them!

I didn't expect that the Min family's shop had been managed like this by the Li family over the years, these were originally intended to be left for Ye Zhiwei as a dowry, but now they have been sold.

Ye Zhiwei noticed that Zhen Guogong's anger was rising, and she bowed down: "Please grandfather make the decision for me!" ”

After all these years, it's time for you, the grandfather, to be the master for your poor granddaughter.

Zhen Guogong was just about to speak, when he suddenly saw a famous servant outside the door sticking his head in, "Grandpa Guo, the master of Shuntian Mansion has arrived, saying that someone has sued Li Mansion for murder and extermination, and he wants to ask the eldest lady for a confession......"

Hearing this, Li only felt as if he had been stabbed in the chest, and his heart hurt.
