LOL! Is this scumbag waiting for the New Year to divorce?

Lu Chenshuang accompanied the old lady in leisurely drinking tea while waiting for the results of the Jingzhao Prefecture's search.

Li looked at Lu Chenshuang's leisurely appearance and wanted to speak several times but held back.

In fact, she really wanted to ask what kind of gift Lu Chenshuang prepared for her and how much silver it was worth?

What if these things are really lost?

She really wanted Lu Chenshuang to prepare another one for her, but as a mother-in-law, she couldn't bring herself to say that no matter how thick-skinned and shameless she was.

Fortunately, after a while Haiyun came in hurriedly.

Before Lu Chenshuang could react, Li stood up first and asked excitedly: "How is it, have you caught that damn thief?"

After Li finished speaking, she felt that her reaction was too obvious, and she sat down leisurely.

Seeing that Lu Chenshuang didn't react much, he pretended to cough and said, "How dare he steal from our Jingyang Marquis Mansion and steal from your wife? He is so bold!

Who is it? I will never let him off easily!"

Seeing how indignant the lady was, Haiyun began to admire Lu Chenshuang.

When she first arrived, the lady blamed her for letting the family scandal spread and alerting the authorities.

How come in just such a short time, the lady-in-waiting and the lady have formed a united front?

And it seems that he cares about this matter more than the lady.

Haiyun, who was still a little hesitant, spoke boldly after hearing what the lady said: "It's Madam Xia——"

Before Haiyun finished speaking, Li slammed her hand on the table and said, "What? It's Madam Xia?"

Haiyun was startled and quickly waved his hands and said, "No, Madam, it's not Nanny Xia, it's Nanny Xia's son Chen Youfu."

Li was relieved when she heard that. She was glad that it wasn't Nanny Xia. Nanny Xia was her dowry maid and knew many of her secrets.

If Li really had to deal with Nanny Xia, she would definitely be in a dilemma.

But at this moment, Li had not yet realized that dealing with Chen Youfu was more difficult than dealing with Nanny Xia.

Li asked Haiyun to pass on a message, asking the people from the Jingzhao government to bring Chen Youfu to her Ci'an Hall, as she had something to ask.

Upon hearing this, Haiyun did not dare to neglect it and quickly went to find the official to pass on the message.

Li ordered her servants to set up tables, chairs and benches in her yard, and she wanted to interrogate Chen Youfu in person.

Firstly, she wanted to show off her status as a lady-in-waiting and let everyone in the family know who is in charge of the Jingyang Marquis Mansion.

Secondly, she wanted to ask about the whereabouts of the jewelry so that she could send someone to retrieve it and deliver it to her room as soon as possible to prevent Lu Chenshuang from stealing it.

Lu Chenshuang saw clearly the lady's little thoughts.

She secretly laughed in her heart, thinking that it would be worth it if Li could really get so many valuable jewelry out of Nanny Xia and the others.

Of course, if she couldn't get it out, she would also be happy to see the lady bite people when she got angry.

Soon, people from the Jingzhao government escorted Chen Youfu to the lady's Ci'an Hall.

Nanny Xia was still begging the officers to be gentler, fearing that they would hurt her son.

When they arrived at Ci'an Hall, the leading officer suddenly kicked Chen Youfu on the knee, and Chen Youfu was forced to kneel on the ground with a thud.

The leading official respectfully saluted Li and Lu Chenshuang and said, "I greet the Madam and Madam Jingyang."

Li nodded slightly to the official and said, "Thank you for taking the trouble to come here so early in the morning. What is this gentleman's name?"

The leading officer said politely, "My surname is Liang, my name is Liang Youzhi, and I am the chief constable of the Jingzhao government office."

Upon hearing this, Li looked at Liang Youzhi with a bit of contempt, but then smiled and said, "It turns out to be Captain Liang. I am sorry for being disrespectful."

Liang Youzhi was mentioned in the original novel. He was a very good case-solver. He met the heroine Liu Anran by chance.

Because both of them came from grassroots backgrounds, they had a lot in common.

Moreover, Liang Youzhi admired the heroine very much. He was deeply impressed by her indomitable spirit, so the two of them had a good relationship.

Later, Liang Youzhi relied on the heroine's luck and actually became the Shaoqing of Dali Temple.

At this moment, Lu Chenshuang suddenly felt it was ridiculous. She believed that Liang Youzhi had real ability, but when someone insisted that it was because of the heroine's luck, she felt that the original author was forcibly flattering Liu Anran.

If she makes friends with Liang Youzhi now, would it mean that he won't be able to become the Shaoqing of Dali Temple in the future?

Lu Chenshuang was a little bit unconvinced.

Liang Youzhi also saw Li's disdain for them, but he didn't care.

He also told her the whole process of their investigation into the case.

After that, Liang Youzhi looked at Lu Chenshuang and asked, "Madam Jingyang, you reported the case, but this man is a servant of Jingyang Marquis's mansion after all. Do you think he should be dealt with by Jingyang Marquis's mansion or should I take him back to the government office for punishment?"

Lu Chenshuang smiled and said, "Our lady still has a few words to ask him. If Captain Liang doesn't have anything urgent, can he take a rest here for a while?

We will deal with it after our Madam has finished her questioning."

It is said that good people should do good things to the end, and see the Buddha to the west. The government has already caught the person, so they don’t mind waiting a little longer.

Besides, they have been busy for such a long time and even if they have not received any credit, they have worked hard.

So as long as Liang Youzhi is not stupid, he knows what to choose.

Liang Youzhi then bowed to Lu Chenshuang and said, "Then we will wait on the side.

If this wicked slave dares to do evil again, we can stop him in time."

After saying this, Liang Youzhi really stood aside with the officers waiting.

Seeing so many people watching, Li acted like the lady of the marquis's mansion.

Looking at Chen Youfu, he scolded: "Chen Youfu, your mother and I grew up together.

Although she is my personal maid, everyone in the mansion can see how I treat her.

I love you and your son, and I think I have been very good to you and your son.

But you were so ungrateful and heartless that you stole from my daughter-in-law, which really disappointed me.

For your mother's sake, if you are willing to hand over all the things you stole from the warehouse, I can consider giving you a lighter sentence."

Chen Youfu was a little scared when he saw this scene.

He knew that if he didn't explain things clearly today, nothing would be done.

So he explained everything in detail.

It turned out that Chen Youfu was feeling upset because he couldn't get any money from Nanny Xia recently.

He originally planned to go out of the house to steal some chickens and ducks for emergency use, but when he saw Lu Chenshuang leaving the house early in the morning with two maids, he came up with an idea.

He first sent away the servants of Lishuangyuan in the name of Nanny Xia, and then broke into Lu Chenshuang's storeroom and stole three hairpins and two pieces of cloth.

He took it to Qianhe Pawnshop and pawned it for two hundred taels of silver.

Eighty taels of the money were used to pay off gambling debts, and twenty taels were spent on brothels.

The remaining one hundred taels were found out by Liang Youzhi and his men before he could spend them.

What Chen Youfu said was somewhat true, but Li was very dissatisfied after hearing his words.
