The Lord of Another World: All Wasted at the Beginning, and He Made His Fortune by Taking in the Fem

A week after traveling to another world, Aarons finally got some free time.

With more than a hundred gold coins in hand, the empty house became lively. Aarons even felt that he no longer needed to think about taking back the territory. It might be good to just eat and wait for death.

However, when he got up this morning, he received some bad news.

"Master, it seems that some small items have been lost at home recently. The amount of emergency funds you put outside for the children is also a little different from the account."

After Xia Ye, who was in charge of finance, reported the matter to Aarons with the accounts, he was still a little skeptical.

"Is there money missing? Did someone buy something and not report it? Maybe the missing things were damaged by the children?"

"According to the report from Miss Karin, who is in charge of guarding the mansion, there is no record of the two supervisors entering or leaving the mansion recently. The lost items are some reserve supplies that were recently purchased, mainly food and daily necessities."

"It's not a big deal, no need to be so nervous."

After all, there are nearly twenty people in the family, including the children, so there are bound to be some small problems.

Aarons didn't intend to dwell on such a trivial matter, but Xia Ye looked extremely serious.

"No, please reconsider. If the children took these things, you need to admonish them and educate them on the harm of such behavior. And if we servants took them, you also need to punish them."

"You're not excluded, either?"

"Before the truth is found out, everyone is a suspect. As the head of the family, you need to find out the truth and maintain order in the mansion and your own dignity."

There was nothing wrong with Xia Ye's suggestion.

Although the scale of this matter is still very small, a small loophole may cause huge problems in the future. Aarons certainly knows this, but he really doesn't want to doubt the people around him.

Xia Ye's expressionless and cold face when he talked about this also made him feel a little irritated.

"Okay, then I'll ask you first, how are you going to prove your innocence?"

Since she took the initiative to include herself in the list of suspects, Aarons was not going to be polite.

"If I suspect that you were the one who did this just to sow discord between me and other people in the mansion, how will you explain it?"

"I have no way to prove my innocence now. If you are sure that I did this, please publicly announce your conclusion and punishment measures to everyone in the mansion."

What's wrong with this girl? Why is she so serious about this?

Aarons had no idea what Xia Ye was thinking, but he didn't think anyone else would do such a petty theft.

"Hmph, then it's as you wish... Hey, Karin, call everyone in the mansion to the activity room on the first floor now. I have something to announce to everyone."

After picking up the telepathic message from the inside to contact Karin who was on duty at the concierge, Aarons raised his chin towards the Aries beauty who still had no expression on her face, motioning her to go downstairs with him.

Soon, everyone came to the main living room on the first floor which had been converted into an activity room.

"I won't say polite words. I called you all here at this time because something happened in my house."

In this spacious room, Karin, Xia Ye and the old gardener stood with the Mo couple, while the children sat at the table as if they were listening to a lesson.

However, most people present were confused at this time, not knowing what Aarons wanted to say.

"Someone reported to me today that some money and things were lost in the mansion these days. I don't know what happened, and I don't think any of you would do such a petty theft."

Looking at Aarons's somewhat blackened face, not only were the children too frightened to make a sound, but the slightly older Els and Mary also showed surprised expressions.

"But I am not going to ignore this matter! There have been parasites like the housekeeper in this Marquis's mansion before, and I will never tolerate such a person appearing again!"

As soon as these words came out, everyone present became nervous. Aarons pointed at Xia Ye standing aside without hesitation, asking her to take a few steps forward and walk among the crowd.

"I don't have any solid evidence to prove who did this, but as the person in charge of the accounts and purchases, she is the most likely to have committed embezzlement!"

Although Xia Ye herself did not make any excuses, the children and others were suddenly furious.

"Teacher Xia Ye is a good person! He wouldn't do such a thing!"

"No, it's impossible. Miss Xia Ye would definitely not do such a thing. Old servant, I can guarantee it!"

Seeing the reactions of the people around him, Aarons also felt that something was amiss. But in order to maintain his dignity, he still loudly stated his decision.

"Everyone, be quiet! I am not an unreasonable and heartless person, but I will not let go of the bad guys who dare to covet the Marquis's property! So I declare that from now on, all of Xia Ye's work will be suspended and she will be temporarily detained in the underground punishment room until solid evidence is found or she is cleared of suspicion!"

Such a merciless decision surprised everyone, and some children were even frightened and started crying.

But Aarons had no intention of changing his mind.

"Whether she did it or not, I must take measures to stop this from happening again! Karin, take her away!"

The Aries beauty never defended herself from beginning to end, and did not even show a trace of fear or uneasiness.

"...I will follow the young master's instructions."

After watching the wolf beauty take Xia Ye away, Aarons looked around at the people present again.

The younger children were crying and making a fuss because their favorite teacher was punished, and the Mo family couple tried their best to calm the children. The old gardener seemed a little at a loss and couldn't say a complete sentence for a long time.

——Only the young boy Els kept his head down and said nothing, as if he was hiding something.

"Humph, if my judgment is correct, this kind of thing will probably not happen again. If we find evidence that proves that the sheep girl was responsible, then we will have to ask her to spend a few years in jail!"

——Aarons said the last sentence specifically to Els and Mary.

After all, these children have not yet learned how to hide the secrets in their hearts, so Aarons can tell at a glance that they must know something.

However, this matter might not be as simple as I thought.

"Okay, that's all I have to say. If you find any evidence, just hand it over to me in private."
