The ordinary life of a female supporting role

When Lin Yilu came back, she saw her yard turned into a ruin. She ran forward quickly and saw her standing in the warehouse. She fell to the ground and looked at the black garbage on the ground. Her face was pale and her lips were trembling.

"How could it be, how could it be"

Nanny Wu was also searching for something, but she found nothing. She continued searching without giving up, and with trembling hands she found a burnt jade tablet in the dark ruins.

"Ma'am, I found it, I found it"

Nanny Wu handed the jade token she found to Lin Yilu. She saw that Lin Yilu was kneeling on the ground and none of the maids dared to step forward to help her.

Nanny Wu used her dark hands to help Lin Yilu up. When her hands were about to touch Lin Yilu, she suddenly paused and retracted them, quickly wiping her hands with the hem of her clothes.

When Aunt Wu saw that her hands were not so dirty anymore, she quickly reached out to help Lin Yilu up and began to comfort her.

"Madam, please get up first. There is water on the ground. It is easy to catch a cold."

"This jade token is still there, madam. The master's jade token is still there."

"As long as the jade pendant is still there, the master will not blame us"

The jade token in Nanny Wu's hand is also a family heirloom of the Chu family. It was a jade token of immunity from death bestowed by the Emperor when Old Master Chu was still alive.

In other words, it is unknown whether the current emperor still recognizes it. After all, it has been passed down to Chu Kun for three generations.

Lin Yilu was originally staring at the ruined warehouse with a dull look in her eyes, her heart bleeding. When she heard what Madam Wu said, she came to her senses and looked at the jade token in her hand.

She took it quickly, looked at the slightly burnt surface, wiped it with her hand, and was about to say something when Butler Chu came in from the burnt courtyard gate.

Lin Yilu saw the butler trotting over, put the jade token into her sleeve, and looked at him solemnly.

As soon as he came in, he bent down and spoke to Lin Yilu.

"Madam, all the useful things in the warehouse have been placed in the master's study."

“The remaining burnt ones and those that cannot be used have not yet been counted.”

"The total amount of gold and silver lost is known to be 1,300 taels."

"I don't know about the banknotes yet."

"I have arranged for Xiao Si to report to the police."

He finished speaking quickly, then paused and continued

"I think the people coming to the government office should be arriving soon."

After listening to what Butler Chu said, Lin Yilu looked at him with an even gloomier gaze.

"Where is the gatekeeper? Why isn't she here?"

"Forget it, just hand that woman over to the government office."

"Did you see anyone suspicious yesterday?"

Butler Chu glanced at Mrs. Lin's vicious look and sighed inwardly.

Lin Yilu replied respectfully

"After the fire was put out, the old woman disappeared. I have notified the servants to look for her."

"I asked the servants and Xiao Si, and no one suspicious was seen last night."

"But a maid said that she felt heavy in the head last night, as if she had been drugged."

After hearing what Butler Chu said, Lin Yilu raised her hand and slapped him. Still not satisfied, she pulled out her hairpin and stabbed him with it.

Butler Chu was quick-witted and dodged by moving to the side. He touched the place where he was hit with his hand, and his momentum changed in an instant. Nanny Wu saw the cold air coming out of Butler Chu, so she stepped forward and grabbed Lin Yilu who was about to attack.

Butler Chu's aura changed, and he couldn't help but complain in his heart.

Can’t you see that he has been busy all night and is exhausted? In other words, he hasn’t even had a break, let alone a drink of water.

Come, come, look at the vicious look in Mrs. Lin’s eyes. If you don’t know, you would think that she killed her whole family.

That is to say, when the old lady of the Chu family was alive, she had to be courteous to him. Look at his life now, it is getting worse and worse than before. After this matter is over, I will definitely leave.

After complaining in his heart, he met Lin Yilu's gaze, looked at her expressionlessly, and spoke in a calm tone.
