He quickly stood up and strode towards Lu's Fangfei Garden.

The first thing Bai Youyou did when she entered the Yongning Marquis' Mansion was to go back to her own Tingfang Garden, where she pretended to go to the dressing table in the inner room to look for the deed to her farm.

"The deed to Zaozhuang has been stolen. Xiaoju, report it to the Jingzhao Yin!"

"Slave, go now!"

Xiaoju turned around with a stern face and ran outside.

Anyone who dares to steal her lady's things will be caught and his hands will be chopped off!

When she met Bai Yanlang who was walking towards her on the road, she stopped and bowed.

Bai Yanlang ignored her and walked past her in a hurry.

Mrs. Lu asked the servants to put things away, and just as she sat down on the bench, Bai Yanlang lifted the curtain and came in.

Seeing him, she was in a bad mood and Lu couldn't help but roll her eyes.

Bai Yanlang was about to say something, but when she saw Nanny Jiang beside her, her heart suddenly jumped.

He walked a few steps closer, a smile on his face, "Jiang Momo is here."

"Uncle."

Nanny Jiang stood up and nodded lightly at him.

"Uh hehe..."

Bai Yanlang smiled unnaturally, "Jia Nan, please entertain Jiang Momo. I still have some official business to attend to, so I'll come over later."

After leaving Fangfei Garden, he hurried to Tingfang Garden.

At this time, Bai Youyou was lying on a rocking chair covered with a thick blanket, holding a storybook in one hand and biting a red apple in the other, looking very leisurely.

Bai Yanlang felt a little guilty, so he walked over, pulled the small stool beside her and sat down.

"Youyou, are you reading a book?"

"Dad, what's up?"

"it's okay no problem."

Bai Yanlang didn't notice her abnormality and asked with a smile: "What book are you reading?"

"It's nothing. It's just a book about a landlord who violates the good order of the world, favors his concubine over his wife, and indulges his concubine to steal the mistress's property to make up for his son's deficit."

As Bai Youyou spoke, her eyes fell on Bai Yanlang's face. Sure enough, as soon as she finished speaking, the smile on Bai Yanlang's face froze.

"What the hell are you looking at?!"

Bai Yanlang was quite angry and embarrassed. He snatched the book from Bai Youyou's hand and threw it out, "Girls should read more "Female Rules" and "Female Training". Don't read these messed up books anymore!"

"It's just a story to kill time, why is Dad so angry?"

Bai Youyou was not annoyed. She took the apple and took another bite, glancing at him sideways.

"Dad, you are thinking about your future. Girls should read more "Female Rules" and "Female Training". You should always remember to obey your father at home and your husband after marriage. You should follow the rules, be quiet and gentle, and only then you can be loved by your husband after you get married."

Bai Youyou laughed at Bai Yanlang's stern and righteous look, "Dad, do you take rules so seriously?"

"nature."

Bai Yanlang didn't know what she meant by asking this question, so he frowned and scolded her in a stern fatherly tone, "Look at your cousin, she has been with your grandmother and is well-educated and well-mannered. You should go to your grandmother now and learn the ways of a woman from her side in the future."

Bai Youyou remained silent for a long time, just looking straight into his eyes.

When Bai Yanlang looked away guiltily, she sneered, "Dad is so particular about rules, why don't you follow the rules?"

Bai Yanlang's face flushed red, but when he thought of Zhuangzi's matter, he suppressed the anger that was about to burst out and glared at her unhappily, "A son should not blame his father for his mistakes. You girl, you dare to teach your father a lesson?"

"If you want to teach others, you must first establish yourself. If you yourself are not upright, how can you convince others? This is called "the upper beam is crooked, and the lower beams are crooked." Parents are role models for their children. If you yourself are not upright, your daughter has no rules now, and she has learned it by imitating you."

Bai Youyou looked at him and curled her lips and shook her head, with a look of disgust on her face, "If I had the right to choose a father, I would definitely not choose you."

"you you......"

Bai Yanlang was so angry that he was speechless. He kept saying "you" for a long time but couldn't find a word to refute.

He never knew that his daughter was so eloquent, even more so than Lu!

After a long while, he said angrily: "Just learn from your mother, sharp-tongued, and see who will like you in the future!"

"If they like me, I won't gain anything, and if they don't like me, I won't lose anything."

Bai Youyou shrugged nonchalantly, "I was born to please myself, not to please others. What does it have to do with me whether others like it or not?"

"you!"

This conversation really couldn't go on any further, and Bai Yanlang was so angry that he stood up from the small stool.

"It's really rotten wood that can't be carved!"

After saying this, he picked up the notebook that was thrown far away on the ground, and left with a heavy sigh.

Bai Youyou looked at his back and sometimes found it quite funny.

Every time she came, she left with a lot of anger. The key point was that he always remembered the food but not the beating, so I had to go up to her and lecture her.

Bai Yanlang returned to his study angrily.

Sitting on the armchair, he suddenly had an idea and opened the notebook in his hand.

I casually flipped through it and was suddenly shocked.

This is not a book about a landlord favoring his concubine and killing his wife, or stealing his mistress's property to fill his son's deficit. It is simply an ordinary travelogue.

That......

That troublemaker already knows about Zhuangzi's affairs?!

"Shouldn't it be? Has that troublemaker changed his nature?"

Bai Yanlang was a little confused.

Given that troublemaker's personality, if his farm was robbed, he would definitely make a big fuss. How could he be so calm?

As he thought about it, his eyelids kept twitching and he always felt that something bad was going to happen.

Sure enough, not long after, the butler, accompanied by Jingzhao Yin Xu and seven or eight detectives, quickly headed towards Tingfang Garden.

When Li He heard the news, his face changed suddenly with shock and he ran quickly to Bai Yanlang's study.

He panted and shouted loudly: "Master, it's bad, the Jingzhao Yin is coming!"

"what?!"

Bai Yanlang screamed and stood up from the chair.

"Master, Jingzhao Yin Xu has brought the detectives to the fourth young lady's courtyard."

Li He didn't know that Aunt Qiao had stolen the land deed, so he just said breathlessly: "I don't know what happened, you should go and check it out quickly."

"This troublemaker!!"

Bai Yanlang roared angrily, then immediately strode out of the room, holding up his clothes.

He knew that this troublemaker was definitely not someone who would settle things peacefully, but he also didn't expect that the troublemaker would actually do something like reporting to the police!

In Tingfang Garden, Bai Youyou was telling Lord Xu about the incident as a victim.

"Master Xu, what was lost is a farm deed worth several thousand taels of silver. You must help me catch the murderer!"

There was a hint of gossipy interest in Lord Xu's eyes under his long eyelashes.

He was busy with another case when he received the report, but when he heard from his subordinates that it was a case of theft at the Yongning Marquis Mansion, he immediately dropped his work and rushed over.

Now hearing what they said, it is not difficult to guess that this was done by a thief in the family.

"Miss Bai Si, do you have any suspects?"
