LOL! Is this scumbag waiting for the New Year to divorce?
Chapter 12 Not asking for trouble
Lu Chenshuang stood up calmly, poured a cup of tea and handed it to Li, saying with a smile: "Mother, drink some tea to calm down your temper.
I went out yesterday because of my mother.
The doctor said that my mother would most likely have a scar on her forehead. Although the Ice Skin Jade Skin Cream in the palace could remove the scar, that kind of magical medicine was hard to come by.
So I ran around all the pharmacies in the capital to see if there was anything similar. I wanted to buy it for my mother even if it was expensive. Unfortunately, the doctors just shook their heads after hearing what I said.
I also remembered that I had read a recipe for making scar-removing medicine in a book before, so I bought some herbs from the pharmacy, thinking about whether I could successfully develop it. "
Lu Chenshuang said this beautifully, which not only gave Li a way out, but also cleared the way for her own pharmacy.
Sure enough, after hearing Lu Chenshuang's words, Li's expression relaxed a lot.
But then he remembered Lu Chenshuang's report to the police and asked again: "I heard that something was lost in your warehouse and someone went to report it to the police.
The government started searching the house early in the morning, causing chaos at home.
Is there anything you can't tell me first?"
Lu Chenshuang heard this and said: "Please calm down, I was just angry for a moment and couldn't hold back.
It would be fine if the thief had stolen some ordinary things, but he stole several sets of jewelry and head ornaments that I prepared for my mother. Those things are worth at least tens of thousands of taels of silver. How can I tolerate this? "
Li looked at Lu Chenshuang in shock and asked, "What did you just say?"
Lu Chenshuang deliberately said: "I was just angry for a moment and couldn't hold it back. If mother feels that the officials are too noisy, I will go and tell them not to investigate. I will consider it as spending money to avoid disaster."
Li almost rolled her eyes when she heard this, but she forced herself to hold it back. Is this what she was asking?
This Lu Chenshuang really came here just to piss her off.
But thinking that Lu Chenshuang had all the good stuff, he suppressed his anger and asked patiently: "You said you prepared jewelry and head ornaments for me?"
Lu Chenshuang nodded without changing her expression and said, "Yes, didn't mother say that she wanted to attend Princess Zhuoyang's flower viewing banquet?
I took out all my jewelry and finally picked out a few of the best pieces.
I was planning to send it to my mother in the next two days, but who knew that the thief stole it first? How could I bear it?"
After hearing this, Li's heart was bleeding. Those were all things given to her. How could this damn thief steal them from her?
But she still said to Lu Chenshuang in a chastised tone: "The warehouse is such an important place, why can't you lock it properly?"
Lu Chenshuang looked at Li's anxious expression and secretly found it funny.
This thing really doesn't belong to anyone, so who wouldn't be anxious? Before I could even say a few words to coax her, he immediately took everything in her warehouse for himself.
Lu Chenshuang sighed and said: "As the saying goes, you don't have to worry about thieves stealing, but you have to worry about thieves thinking about it.
If they dare to steal from me today, they may steal from my mother tomorrow.
My husband is not at home all year round. If we keep silent today, who knows how he will bully us next time."
Lu Chenshuang's words were heartfelt, and what made Li more concerned was that this thing was selected by Lu Chenshuang and prepared to be given to her.
So he nodded to Lu Chenshuang and said, "You are right. I didn't think about this matter enough."
Then he said to Haiyun who was standing beside him: "Go and tell the officials to investigate this matter thoroughly for me.
Anyone who dares to steal in our mansion will not be spared, no matter who it is."
Upon hearing this, Haiyun quickly agreed.
Nanny Xia and Chen Youfu were so happy yesterday that they drank too much.
The two of them only came to their senses when their room was searched.
Chen Youfu was still a little confused and didn't know what was going on, but Nanny Xia was experienced and realized that something was wrong.
Looking at the search officers and soldiers, he shouted, "Who are you? How did you break into our mansion?"
The leading officer replied, "Don't say anything nonsense. We received a report from your wife that something was missing from her storeroom, so we were ordered to search."
Chen Youfu and Nanny Xia both felt a little flustered when they heard this, especially Chen Youfu. Although he often stole things, he was young after all.
Nanny Xia was an old and wise woman. After a moment of panic, she said, "Don't worry, gentlemen. This place is absolutely clean. I am the dowry of the lady.
I have been with the Madam for decades, it is impossible for me to do such a thing, you should search somewhere else."
The leading officer was also a man with extensive experience in handling cases. When he saw the expressions on Nanny Xia and Chen Youfu's faces, he knew that something was up with them.
So he smiled and said: "Although you are the dowry of the old lady, the marquis's wife has lost a lot of valuable items, and the old lady has also specifically instructed that we must investigate it strictly, so no place in the mansion can be left unchecked.
Don't worry, I will ask them to be careful when searching and they won't damage your belongings."
After saying this, he winked at the others, and they immediately began searching.
Nanny Xia stood aside, her teeth itching with anger, but there was nothing she could do.
Although she had some face in front of the lady, she was still a servant after all.
It's okay to show off in front of other servants in the mansion, but he has no advantage at all in front of the servants of Jingzhao Prefecture.
Soon these people found one or two taels of silver and a hairpin under Chen Youfu's pillow.
The leading officer held the silver and the hairpin and looked at the mother and son and asked, "Tell me, what's going on?"
When Chen Youfu saw that the truth was exposed, he was extremely flustered and stammered, not knowing how to start the conversation.
Nanny Xia stepped forward and explained: "Sir, what's going on?
After living in the mansion for so many years, is it strange that we have saved some money and one or two valuable items?"
Nanny Xia was the maid who came with the dowry of the Madam Dowager and was deeply trusted by her. Some of her savings and valuables were not rare for her.
The leading officer took out a piece of paper and compared it with the other two, then sneered, "I didn't know your things were the same as the things your wife lost.
You can say this in front of us, and I hope you can say the same to your wife."
As soon as the words came out, the officers who were out investigating came back and muttered to the leading officer.
The leading officer laughed contemptuously after hearing this and said, "Chen Youfu, even if the one hundred taels of silver and the hairpin are easy to explain.
Then how do you explain those hairpins and cloths you took out?
And where are those more valuable things? I advise you to be sensible and hand them over voluntarily. Maybe your wife can give you a lighter punishment."
Chen Youfu was immediately anxious when he heard this, and he quickly said: "Sir, I only took these things and pawned them for less than 200 taels of silver.
I haven’t seen the others.”
Upon hearing this, Chen Youfu became anxious and began to confess.
No matter how much Nanny Xia doted on Chen Youfu, she looked at him as if he were an idiot.
