The warehouse manager received the order and quickly took out the key from his waist to open the lock. As soon as he opened the door, he stumbled and fell to the ground, trembling with fear:

"My Lord! My Lord! I have never left your side for a single step!"

Yang Chenghou kicked the trembling steward away, strode in, looked around inside and out, his face pale.

This thief not only took away things that were placed on the surface, but also took away everything in the secret compartments and the underground secret room!

How did he find out!

The mechanisms in their Yangcheng Marquis Mansion were very sophisticated. Before he inherited the mansion, he had been to this storehouse countless times but had never found any secret compartments or secret rooms.

But this thief only came once and took away everything!

These are all the wealth accumulated by their mansion over hundreds of years!

It was all gone overnight!

Marquis Yang Cheng felt his mind go blank. He looked at Li helplessly, only to find that Li had already fainted. The mansion was suddenly in chaos.

"My Lord! The old Lord wants you to go over quickly!"

A servant from the Yangcheng Marquis's mansion came running to report, and Yangcheng Marquis Ting no longer cared about Li and left in a hurry.

"Crack~!"

Marquis Yangcheng entered Songhe Hall and before he could say anything, he was slapped in the face by the old marquis!

"You rebellious son, did you offend someone outside?"

The old marquis heard early this morning that the palace had been robbed, and he immediately went to check his private vault.

The wealth he had worked hard to build up throughout his life was gone overnight!

After a while, the old marquis's wife came over with the support of Luo Jiaojiao. She looked at the old marquis and shook her head with a miserable expression.

Master Yang Chenghou staggered and almost lost his balance when he saw his wife's expression:

“All gone?!!!”

"Dad, Mom's private vault is completely emptied. This thief is so bold that he dared to steal from our mansion. You must cut him into pieces!"

Luo Jiaojiao gnashed her teeth in hatred. The Lin Mansion was completely robbed. She couldn't stand the bland meals at home, so she brought her children to her mother's house to stay for a while.

I didn’t expect that the palace was completely robbed early this morning!

I dare not imagine how she will live in the future. Lin Zhixue’s salary is not enough for her to buy jewelry!

She hasn't had bird's nest porridge for two days and her skin has become worse!

Luo Jiaojiao touched her skin which was no longer smooth and delicate. She became angrier and angrier. The angrier she became, the more itchy her face became. She couldn't help but scratch it.

Luo Jiaojiao became even more irritable. She didn't know what happened these past two days, but her face became more and more itchy!

"Find! You must find this thief! The century-old foundation of the Marquisate cannot be destroyed in my hands!"

The old marquis was so angry that his hands couldn't stop shaking, he was really feeling too much pain!

The wealth accumulated by generations vanished overnight!

If it can't be found, the Marquis' Mansion will surely decline!

What is the difference between a marquisate without family inheritance and those upstarts with no background at all!

How could he accept this!

"Yes! Father, I'll go right away! Don't worry, I will never let anything from our mansion be shipped out of the capital!"

Although Marquis Yangcheng was slapped as soon as he arrived, he did not dare to show any dissatisfaction. He immediately left after hearing the old marquis' words.

He really didn't have time to be angry. The most important thing now was to get back his lost property!

"Madam, there is not a grain of rice left in the house. Madam has fainted again. I...I can only come to you."

The kitchen manager came over with a bitter look on her face, and after she finished speaking, she lowered her head, not daring to look up.

After hearing this, the old marquis's wife took out a 50-liang silver note and handed it over. Gu Yiyao did not go to her bedroom last night.

Now she only had 500 taels of silver notes which she kept in her bedroom for emergency use.

"Madam, everything in the kitchen is… gone. There are a lot of things to buy. This… this may not be enough."

After the housekeeper finished speaking, she lowered her head again and did not dare to look at the old princess.

"Mom, I haven't had bird's nest for two days, and my skin is rough!"

Luo Jiaojiao hugged the old lady of Yangcheng Marquis's mansion's arm and acted coquettishly with a look of grievance on her face.

She always felt that her face was extremely itchy these past two days, probably because she didn't drink the bird's nest.

She has never stopped eating bird's nest since she was a child!

The old marquis's wife usually loves her daughter very much. Today, when she heard that her daughter hadn't drunk bird's nest for two days, she felt very distressed.

The old marquis's wife gritted her teeth and gave the housekeeper 300 taels of silver.

"Buy some bird's nests for Jiaojiao and prepare them for her."

The old marquis’ wife thought about it and gave the order.

In fact, she also has to drink bird's nest every day, but now she doesn't know when she can recover the property at home, so she has to bear it for now!

But my daughter has delicate skin, so she must drink bird’s nest to take good care of it!

As for the chewing needs of her daughters-in-law, that was not within her consideration at all!

"My mother still loves me the most!"

Luo Jiaojiao was so happy that she could finally drink bird's nest. She hugged the old marquis's arm and acted coquettishly!

"I will ask your sister-in-law to bring Jin'er to the palace banquet next month. You should buy her some clothes. She is getting older now, so you need to pay extra attention to her clothes."

The old marquis's wife looked at Luo Jiaojiao with loving eyes. Her daughter has always been her pride.

When her daughter took a fancy to Lin Zhixue, she was very dissatisfied because she felt that his family background was too low.

Now she thought that she was wrong. Her son-in-law was highly regarded by the emperor and seemed to have a bright future. He would be a great help to their mansion in the future.

My daughter has good taste!

The old marquis’s wife looked at Lin Qingjin lovingly:

"Jin'er is almost 11 years old. She will be a big girl soon. If you ask me, there is no girl in the whole capital who is more beautiful than our Jin'er."

Lin Qingjin blushed when she heard what her grandmother said:

"Grandma, you are teasing me again!"

Lin Qingjin felt a little embarrassed. She knew what her grandmother meant when she said she was a grown-up girl. Being a grown-up girl meant it was time to get married.

Her father is a famous handsome man in the capital, and she has perfectly inherited the advantages of both her father and mother.

She has always been very confident about her appearance. It's not that she is arrogant, but there is really no one in the capital who can compare with her in appearance.

What's more, she is a rare talented woman who is well-read and has always been confident in her talent and appearance.

"Mother, I have no money now. Even if I want to buy clothes for Jin'er, I can't afford it!"

Luo Jiaojiao gnashed her teeth in hatred when she thought of this. The damn thief didn't even leave her a single penny!

Although she had a dowry shop and a farm, the money could only be delivered at the end of the month.

The profits from her dowry shops were average, so it was impossible for her to buy a decent outfit for her daughter.

She had originally thought of using the money in her own private treasury to buy her daughter a nice set of clothes.

After all, she has made friends with the Third Prince now, so she really needs to be more careful about her clothes and jewelry.

What’s hateful is that the thief actually emptied her private vault!

After hearing what her daughter said, the old marquis's wife looked at her only 200 taels of silver notes left with some embarrassment. This was not enough!

The old marquis saw his wife's dilemma and knew that she really had no extra banknotes.

He had always doted on his daughter and granddaughter, so he had to reluctantly give Luo Jiaojiao 5000 taels of the 2000 taels of silver notes that he had kept in his study as a backup:

"Give it to Jin'er to buy her a nice outfit. She is the most beloved granddaughter of our Yangcheng Marquis Mansion and cannot be outdone by other noble ladies!"

"Grandpa, you are the best. I will definitely be filial to you in the future!"

Lin Qingjin flew into the old marquis' arms like a butterfly, causing the old marquis to temporarily forget the unpleasantness of the morning. His wrinkled old face smiled like a withered chrysanthemum!
