Baili Yao tossed and turned all night and couldn't sleep, thinking that her life might be gone at any time. Sure enough, the bead disappeared the next day. Baili Yao made her yard messy and began to look for it in a big way.

"What's that dead girl yelling and screaming about in her yard?" Aunt Bai had a headache and said unhappily.

"I heard that the third young lady's yard lost the late lady's favorite thing, a pearl."

Aunt Bai rolled her eyes and said, "What kind of treasure is this? They're dead, so why are you treating them with dignity? It's just a pearl. Why make such a fuss about it? What does the old lady say?" Aunt Bai took a sip of tea and looked at the maid beside her.

"Last night, the old lady personally sent someone to take the beads away, otherwise she wouldn't care so much about it."

Aunt Bai rolled her eyes and said, "That's what I said. I'm just afraid of what the old lady will say. She's talking about mother and the late madam so affectionately. She doesn't remember anyone. She might even have forgotten what her mother looks like. A legitimate daughter knows how to hide every day. She looks weak and incompetent. The Shang family is far away, and she can't run here every few days. The master is not at home either, so who will support her? She'll never be as arrogant as she used to be. Just thinking about it makes me feel relieved."

"Yes, that's what Auntie said. Auntie, please try to please the old lady now. You have the power of the housekeeper in your hands. Auntie Wen, that little bitch, has no chance."

When Aunt Wen was mentioned, Aunt Bai became even more angry. "That little bitch is so sweet-talking, and her woman. They are all lowly creatures who only know how to please the old lady. When the master was here, I didn't see them go there so often. Oh, by the way," Aunt Bai glanced at her, "Send someone to ask, help find it."

Baili Yao's search for the pearl was made into a big event, and even the whole city was buzzing with news. "What a good job!"

Qiao Xiang came back from outside and asked in confusion, "Miss, why did you bring the old lady with you?"

Because that damn old lady wanted her to die in her place! So she asked Qiao Xiang to spread the word that the third young lady of the Baili family was crying and making a fuss for a long time, and that the beads that old lady Baili had just given her were lost, which were the favorite things of the late lady.

Baili Yao was furious. The more rumors spread, the better. At least she would have a clean conscience. But the old lady would definitely be unhappy... But it was better than losing her life!

After arguing for several days, Baili Yao felt that she had been high-profile enough, but who would have thought that many people would come to propose marriage, and they all came for her, the third young lady.

"Oh my god..." Baili Yao walked back and forth in the room. Xiao Hai had not come back yet. What if the old lady gave her things away? That would be terrible.

"Miss, you are not happy with so many marriage proposals. Oh..."

Baili Yao couldn't help but knock her on the head, what a fool.

"What I asked you to do."

"Miss, I actually found one. It was a servant at the front door. He always hid things secretly at night. I looked and found that there were people in the front yard, but not in our yard. Even the people in the old lady's room had some. The items were all small and valuable."

"Okay, let's catch him at night." Baili Yao had to hurry up, and when it was night, he really saw a servant in his twenties sneaking around to get something.

"Stop." Baili Yao's voice was not loud, but the servant could hear it loud enough.

"Miss... Miss..."

"Shh," Baili Yao signaled him to shut up. The servant was so scared that his legs went weak and he fell to his knees with a thud.

"Take him away for me." Baili Yao came with two people. The servant was frightened and was taken directly to Baili Yao's yard.

Qiaoxiang took a pile of jewelry and placed them in front of him with a clang.

"Miss San, I beg you, I have my own difficulties. My sister is sick at home, and I have nowhere else to turn..."

"If you are discovered like this, you will definitely be beaten to death by your family. You said you were dead, but your sister..." Baili Yao gave him a look that said you understand.

The servant knelt and crawled forward a few times, "Miss, my little slave is willing to work like a cow or a horse. Please give me and my younger sister a chance to live. Please have mercy on me."

"Does anyone contact you at this time every day?"

"Yes... yes, there's someone waiting behind the bushes at the back door every night. There's a dog hole there. I just want to exchange some silver..."

That's great. Baili Yao felt that there was finally something happy. Selling the mountain and the land would bring a lot of money, but it would be a big move. There were many people staring at her. She looked at the person kneeling on the ground and trembling, "What are you shouting for?"

"Little...little Tang Lin..."

Baili Yao seemed to have let Tang Lin go, and then asked Qiaoxiang to inquire under the pretext of showing her the fabric. Although she was not good at other things, Qiaoxiang was very good at gossiping on the streets.

"Miss, Tang Lin does have a sister who has been lying in bed for almost a year and has not been cured. She has spent a lot of money."

Baili Yao listened to what Qiaoxiang had learned from the doctor and looked at the copied prescription. He had been taking medicine to keep himself alive, but fighting was too nutritious.

"Take this and give it to Tang Lin. Ask him to give one to his sister. Just tell her that she will be able to go to bed tomorrow. Lunch is fine. Just eat light food in the morning and evening."
