After giving up being the wife of a powerful official, Ling Yunlu became a concubine

He had just finished the autumn examination. If news of a burglary spread, he would probably immediately become the focus of attention in Beijing.

"Why?" Shen Yunchu pressed.

She felt uneasy when she thought that there was a thief in the house and she didn't know what evil the thief was doing in the dark.

"It's just a few thousand taels, forget it. I'll give it all to you when I make money someday." Zhao Jingyan wanted to settle the matter peacefully.

"My husband said it wasn't you who used it?" Shen Yunchu felt cheated by her husband.

"I really didn't take it! How can I tell you this? Anyway, this matter cannot be reported to the police!"

Seeing that he couldn't convince Shen Yunchu, Zhao Jingyan was too lazy to continue arguing with her and just walked out.

Shen Yunchu cried "woooo woooo" in grievance.

Did she care about the one or two thousand taels? Did she care whether Zhao Jingyan cheated her or not?

"Madam, in my opinion, my son-in-law is not lying." Chunxiang comforted her.

"Uh....you mean...the person who stole the banknotes was someone else?...Uh..." Shen Yunchu cried until he hiccuped.

"If it was really that the son-in-law secretly took it, he would not have taken the initiative to say that he took thirty taels. Moreover, I just took a look and the son-in-law was also surprised to see that the banknotes were taken."

"That wasn't him, why did he stop me from reporting it to the police?"

"Ma'am, think about it, besides us, has anyone else in this yard lost anything?"

"Chunxiang, you are so smart!" Shen Yunchu immediately understood what to do.

She loosened her hair a little and rushed into her mother-in-law's room holding the box.

"Mother-in-law, there's a thief in the house! There's a thief in the house!"

Shen Yunchu's loud shouting alarmed the people in the main room and also scared the mother-in-law in the room.

"You have no manners at all. Why are you shouting and yelling?" Zhao's mother accidentally pricked her finger with the needle.

"Mother-in-law, the cabinet in my room was pried open by a thief, and more than one thousand taels of silver inside were stolen." Shen Yunchu held the box with tears in her eyes.

"What? How much?" Zhao's mother also jumped up in fright.

"More than a thousand taels! Grandma, please check if your money is missing."

Shen Yunchu turned to Jia Mingzhu and said, "Sister-in-law, hurry up and take a look. I have asked my husband to report it to the police. If there is really a theft, the police will come and investigate it together."

Jia Mingzhu sat lazily on the stool, "I'm not as rich as my brother and sister-in-law, I can put one or two thousand taels at will."

Mother Zhao checked her cash box and made sure the bills were all there. She turned around and looked at Shen Yunchu in confusion.

Could it be that this daughter-in-law is setting a trap for herself?

Is he planning to take his money box?

"Could it be that your second brother took the money? No one has ever entered your room."

"I asked my husband, and he said it wasn't him. I remember clearly that last time my husband gave me the 1,000 taels of silver note, I put it on top, but now it's gone."

Shen Yunchu remembered this clearly.

"How dare you talk about one thousand taels? It is because of this one thousand taels that we have to eat steamed bread every day."

Zhao Jingyao walked in from outside.

Shen Yunchu looked the young girl up and down, and felt that he had overlooked something.

"How can you say it's my fault that you have to eat steamed bread every day? Your second brother will become the top scholar in the future, won't you benefit from it? Will your sister-in-law's family benefit from it? Will your mother-in-law benefit from it?"

Shen Yunchu would not take the blame.

"Besides, this thousand taels is my dowry. We haven't divided the family, so how can my husband's family take my daughter-in-law's dowry?"

"Since you married into our Zhao family, everything belongs to the Zhao family. Why can't I use it?"

Zhao Jingyao folded her hands over her chest and looked at her second sister-in-law Shen Yunchu with dissatisfaction.

Shen Yunchu finally realized that something was wrong with Zhao Jingyao, and she rushed over.

"Where did you get this gold bracelet?" She pulled Zhao Jingyao's wrist, revealing the bracelet she was wearing.

Zhao Jingyao struggled to break free from Shen Yunchu's hand and lowered her sleeves to cover the bracelet on her wrist.

However, everyone in the room saw Shen Yunchu's pulling just now.

Jia Mingzhu sat on the bench with a sarcastic smile on his face.

Mother Zhao pulled Zhao Jingyao over and slapped her on the head, "You damn girl, where did you come from?"

Zhao Jingyao stiffened his neck and said, "It was given to me by someone else. Why are you the only ones allowed to have it and I'm not allowed to wear it?"

"Then second sister, can you tell me who sent it? And when was it sent?" Shen Yunchu's eyes turned red.

"Why should I tell you? Who are you to me?"

Mother Zhao picked up the broom used to sweep the dust nearby and hit Zhao Jingyao with it.

"Speak to me, how can a good girl accept something from another man so easily?"

Zhao's mother thought that her daughter had made friends with some weird people behind her back.

Zhao Jingyao jumped up in pain, "Mom, what are you talking about?"

At this moment, a little fat boy jumped in from outside the door. It was Zhao Jinghuan who had returned from school.

"Second sister, what delicious food are you taking me to eat today? I want to go to Zhenxiulou today. My classmates said that the food there is rare and delicious!"

Zhao Jingyao quickly covered his younger brother's mouth.

"Zhenxiulou? I heard that a meal costs ten taels of silver? It seems that my little sister has made a fortune!" Jia Mingzhu held the teacup and did not mind the big deal.

"It must be you! It was you who stole more than a thousand taels from me!" Shen Yunchu came to his senses and pointed at Zhao Jingyao's nose.

"Who said that? Which eye of yours saw me take it? Why don't you just say you took it back to your parents' home? You are wrongly accusing me here!"

"Zhao Jinghuan, tell me, did your third sister take the money from your second sister-in-law?" Shen Yunchu angrily asked his uncle.

Zhao Jinghuan's mouth was covered tightly by Zhao Jingyao, and he could only shake his head.

Shen Yunchu stepped forward and grabbed Zhao Jingyao's hand, wanting Zhao Jinghuan to tell the truth.

Zhao Jingyao held his younger brother and hid aside, not letting him speak.

"Hey, what do you guys look like?" Mother Zhao hurried forward to pull Shen Yunchu.

Shen Yunchu was angry and anxious, so he pushed Zhao's mother.

Mother Zhao didn't pay attention and fell to the ground.

"Mom!" Zhao Jingyao stopped and squatted down to check if his mother was injured.

"Why did you push my mother? You, a daughter-in-law, simply don't take your mother-in-law seriously. I'm going to ask my second brother to divorce you!"

"Not only did you steal my dowry, you also tried to persuade your second brother to divorce me. Believe it or not, I can tell anyone in the capital and you will never get married in your life."

"You actually cursed me, I will fight you!"

Zhao Jingyao rushed over, raised his hand and grabbed Shen Yunchu's hair.

Zhao Jinghuan, who was standing by, saw this and rushed over like a firecracker. He couldn't let his second sister, who treated him to delicious food every day, suffer any loss.

Chunxiang was unable to stop it and could only watch Shen Yunchu being knocked to the ground.

Shen Yunchu was originally furious and grabbed Zhao Jinghuan's clothes, ready to teach him a lesson.

I felt some liquid flowing out between my legs, wetting my pants.

"Blood! Blood! Madam, you are bleeding!"

Shen Yunchu only heard Chunxiang's panicked voice and then fainted.
