After the mistress of the Marquis's Mansion awakened, she no longer wanted to be the mistress o

Faced with Li Qingwan's words, the old woman was naturally very embarrassed. It was so painful to slap herself in the face!

But now she couldn't care less and could only bite the bullet and admit it, "Then it must be that mother was wrong. The Sima family had this treasure, and now it has been stolen."

"I see."

Li Qingwan's face was full of disappointment, which made the old woman very embarrassed. "Qingwan, don't be angry. Mother is old and can't remember things. I didn't hide it from you on purpose."

"How could that be? I won't take it seriously."

Sima Yue also came to smooth things over, "Okay Qingwan, let's not pursue the past. Now how do we get this treasure back?"

"Get it back?"

Li Qingwan pretended to be helpless and said, "I have never seen this treasure. How can I find it now?"

"Sister-in-law, you can't say that. Just because you haven't seen it doesn't mean you can't find it. Even things lost in the palace can be found. Can the Sima family be bigger than the palace?"

"Ling'er, what you said makes sense. So how do you tell me to check?"

"This……"

Li Qingwan was not polite at all. She directly retorted to Sima Guling so that he didn't dare to say a word. "Do you have the ability to investigate it yourself?"

"Auntie, how did you find out it was missing?"

Sima Guling began to ask the old woman, and the old woman originally suspected Li Qingwan, but she had no evidence, and Li Qingwan did not have the key to enter the warehouse. Her key was also there, so how was the treasure stolen?

"Okay, what's the point of saying all this? I only have a key to open the box. The key is in my hand, so this is the traitor!"

Insider?

The old woman's words about the traitor immediately made Sima Guling and Su Xiaoyue look at each other. Su Xiaoyue began to speak in a sarcastic tone, "Sister, you have such a secret thing, I'm afraid only people around you have the opportunity to know it. Who has seen this key?"

This is too obvious. Doesn't it mean that it was Li Qingwan who did it?

"I've seen the key. Does my cousin mean that the traitor is me, Li Qingwan?"

"Qingwan, don't be angry, I didn't say that, I was just analyzing the problem!"

"Aunt, don't talk nonsense. How could it be Qingwan?"

Sima Yue naturally didn't believe that it was Li Qingwan who did it. His mother's key was with her. How could Li Qingwan get it and how could she open the warehouse?

She doesn't have that ability!

"Oh, I was just saying it casually. Could it be that the treasure would fly out of the box by itself? Sister, you are so stupid. You should have put more locks on such an important thing. You said you lost the treasure. If it fell into the hands of the Su family or those peers, what would the Sima family use to compete with others?"

"That's enough. I called you here to solve problems and find things, not to listen to your nonsense!"

"Don't worry, Mom. Think carefully about when was the last time you went to the warehouse?"

"I've been there once with Qingwan. Qingwan, do you still remember?"

It’s really her?

Sima Guling was sure that it was Li Qingwan who did it, and Li Qingwan straightened her back calmly and smiled, "Yes, I went with you, and you asked me to wait for you outside."

"That's really strange. There aren't many people in the Sima family. Could it be that this treasure disappeared? If this isn't a traitor, what is it?"

"Aunt, stop talking!"

"Ayue, what's wrong with you? I'm helping you, why are you so confused?"

"Shut up, what do you mean by that? Are you insinuating that Qingwan took the treasure?"

"I didn't say that, I..."

"Aunt, have I, Li Qingwan, ever offended you? Why are you targeting me like this?"

Su Xiaoyue didn't expect Li Qingwan to react like this, and immediately wanted to explain, "Qingwan, I didn't, that's not what I meant, sister, I just wanted to..."

"Alright, stop arguing. I called you here to discuss a solution, not to have you quarrel among yourselves. How could it be Qingwan? If she really needs it, she can just ask me for it. There's no need to steal it."

The old woman said this on purpose for Li Qingwan to hear. Li Qingwan naturally understood what she meant. She coughed and said, "Since it has become like this, then our only option is to report it to the authorities and let them intervene in this matter?"

"Report to the official?"

"No!"

The old woman naturally didn't want to report it to the police. You have to know that she had used all means to snatch this treasure from the Ji family. If she really reported it to the police, the Ji family would know about it and would definitely come to harass her. That wouldn't work!

"Mom, why not? If something this important is lost, we must report it to the police!"

"I thought so too. If I don't report it to the authorities, I won't be able to get the treasure back. I'm going to the authorities now."

After saying that, Li Qingwan turned around and prepared to leave, but suddenly, the housekeeper outside came in a hurry, "Old Madam, Madam, there is no need to go, the person who stole the treasure has been caught!"

"Who is it? Drag her in quickly!"

Outside, when Xiuzhu was dragged in, she kept begging for mercy, "Let me go, let me go!"

"Little Master?"

When Sima Yue saw Xiuzhu being dragged here, he became extremely anxious, "Butler, what's going on?"

"Madam, sir, it was this little nun who did it. Here is the old lady's treasure!"

When the housekeeper handed the weaving secret book to the old woman, as expected, the old woman's face was horrified. She never expected that it was Li Qingwan who did it. After all, she was very eager to get these treasures, but in the end, it was the fisherman's girl who was causing trouble?

As expected, people of low status like to act secretly and never show up in public!

"Little nun, it's you?"

Xiuzhu was not a pushover, and she immediately kowtowed to the old woman and admitted her mistake, "Madam, please calm down. This is not the case. I did not steal this book!"

"It's not you. You dare to argue when you've caught the person red-handed?"

This time, the old woman decided to deal with the trouble of Xiuzhu. She didn't like Xiuzhu in the first place, so she took this opportunity to drive her out. In this way, Li Qingwan would calm down and not be so aggressive!

"Madam, please calm down. I found this book in Madam Ji's room and was about to hand it over to you, but the housekeeper misunderstood me!"

Xiuzhu couldn't read, so she naturally thought that the book was not worth anything. But when she left, she thought that since it was hidden under the flowerpot by Madam Ji, it must be useful, so she took it away. Unexpectedly, before she could study what was written inside, she was discovered and brought back by the housekeeper!

Is she really more wronged than Dou E?

What, Madam Ji?

When everyone heard Xiuzhu's words, their eyes turned to Su Xiaoyue who was watching the show nearby. When Su Xiaoyue heard that Xiuzhu had slandered her, she immediately became furious!

"What nonsense are you talking about, you bitch? How could this be done by me?"

"Little Master, you should have evidence when you speak. Don't make up stories and slander my aunt. This will affect the relationship between our two families."
