Marry another wife, the mistress of the marquisate will not serve you anymore

In the cold winter, when the moon is high in the sky, it is a good time to eat mutton hotpot.

Qingzhu Garden was as lively as during the Chinese New Year. Maids came in and out carrying trays delivering fresh mutton and vegetables, and the air was filled with refreshing fragrance.

Ever since Song Wanyin stopped serving him, he cooked three meals a day for himself in the garden.

Eating mutton in winter can replenish qi, dispel cold and warm the body. Looking at the steaming mutton rolling in the pot, it almost makes you hungry.

Sweet Orange's mouth was watering with greed, and he diligently added some vegetables into the pot, making a combination of meat and vegetables for a balanced nutrition.

“Miss, this dish dipping is my speciality.

Later, you will wrap the mutton in this and put it into your mouth.

That feeling, in one word, is absolutely amazing! "

As she spoke, she couldn't help swallowing.

Madam Wei brought a pot of fruit wine and poured her a glass.

"Girl, this is your favorite grape flavor, but you can only drink two glasses, don't drink too much."

Song Wanyin couldn't wait to pick up her chopsticks. Tiancheng picked up a piece of mutton for her and put it in the dipping water. The moment she put it into her mouth, the aroma lingered between her lips and teeth. It was the most delicious food in the world.

"It smells good, really good, so good.

Stop standing, sit down and eat together."

Tiancheng couldn't hold it in any longer and was about to sit down when Nanny Wei pulled her up.

"Tian Cheng, you don't know the rules. How can a servant eat at the same table with his master?"

Song Wanyin smiled and said:

"Madam Wei, everyone here is our own family, so there's no need to be polite.

I can't eat so much by myself, and it would be a waste of food if I threw it away.

Sit down quickly, let's compete to see who has the better fighting ability."

Nanny Wei had the master-servant distinction in her bones, and said seriously:

"Miss, this is really inappropriate. Once a precedent is set, it will be difficult to control the servants in the future."

Tiancheng stared at the fragrant mutton with a resentful look in his eyes, and couldn't help licking the corner of his mouth.

Good guy, just because you don’t eat it doesn’t mean others won’t eat it!

Woo woo woo, my lamb, my favorite lamb, come into my mouth soon!

At this moment, there was a slight knock on the door.

Nanny Wei opened the door and saw that there was no one at the door, only a delicate and small box was left.

When she presented the box to Song Wanyin, she asked puzzledly:

"Girl, it's so late, who could have sent it?"

Song Wanyin immediately put down her chopsticks, opened the box and saw the house deed and land deed inside. She immediately had an idea in her mind.

It seems that Gu Qingye is quite trustworthy and really handed over all his assets.

The Gu family probably never imagined in their dreams that no matter how defensive they were, they could still not prevent a thief from within their own home.

However, this was just a drop in the bucket and was not enough to make up for the shortfall in dowry.

"Madam Wei, send someone to deliver these house deeds and land deeds to Shopkeeper Zhao overnight and ask him to contact the buyer.

I will sell it under the name of Gu Qingchen, and the money from the sale will be temporarily kept with Manager Zhao."

Nanny Wei didn't dare to delay the important matter and went to handle it immediately.

Song Wanyin thought for a moment, then handed the golden lock to Tiancheng and said:

"Take this to the pawnshop tomorrow morning and pawn it. Then, deposit the money into the bank of the third house in the name of Gu Qingye."

Sweet Orange was puzzled and asked:

“Girl, although you are anonymous, you are already the biggest creditor of the bank.

Why do you need to deposit another sum of money in the name of Ye Ge'er?"

Song Wanyin smiled and tapped her nose.

"My trick is to let the fisherman reap the benefits while the snipe and the clam fight.

If everything is done in my name, it might give the Gu family a handle.

Let them distrust each other and fight among themselves.

It's messy, everything is messy, it's better to be a little messy."

The next day, the Marquis's Mansion was in an uproar as if a pot had exploded.

The lady was leaning on a wooden cane, her hands and feet covered in sweat. She anxiously urged the maids and servants to turn Suxin Garden upside down inside and out.

"Have you found it? Don't miss any corner or crevice. Search it thoroughly for me."

Nanny Gui held the Musk Heart Pill in her hand, worried that her old illness might relapse at any time, and said anxiously:

"Madam, don't worry, the things will definitely not be lost."

When Gu Qingchen heard the servant's report, he limped to the garden.

After these days of rest, and with the blood-activating and blood-stasis-removing ointment that Jiang Lanyue had someone send him, his injuries have improved a lot.

As soon as Gu Qingchen stepped into the garden, he called out anxiously:

"Mother, what happened?"

When the lady saw him coming, she instantly regained her confidence and said with tears streaming down her face:

"Brother Chen, the sky has fallen, and part of the family property's house and land deeds have disappeared.

But I hid the key in the most secret place, and there is a very complicated process to open the secret compartment.

This morning, it was Aunt Gui who found the key, which had somehow fallen to the ground.

I quickly asked her to go and check, only to find that something was missing.

That is the Gu family's life-saving money. I wonder if there are dishonest servants in the family who stole the ill-gotten gains?"

Gu Qingchen frowned and said:

"Mother, logically speaking, the servants shouldn't have the courage to do this.

Don't worry, think carefully, is it where you put it before?"

The more the lady thought about it, the more her headache grew. She covered her aching chest and almost fainted.

"Oh, why is my life so miserable?

Oh my God, you obviously don't want to leave me a chance to live!"

Gu Qingchen quickly rubbed her back to help her breathe easier and said:

"Mother, please stop making trouble and go inside to rest for a while.

I will take care of this matter.”

Within half an incense stick of time, except for the people from Qingzhu Garden, all the servants in the mansion were in the backyard, spreading out their luggage for everyone to see.

Nanny Gui checked each one of them one by one, and then ordered the servants to check each other carefully again, but nothing was found.

Gu Qingchen couldn't help but start to suspect Song Wanyin. Since everything in the mansion had been checked, only Qingzhu Garden had not been checked.

"Song Wanyin, if I find out, you are the one who did this.

I will peel off your skin!"

Soon, Gu Qingchen led the servants and headed towards Qingzhu Garden in a threatening manner, but was stopped by the servant guarding the garden.

"You dogs are so brave, you dare to block my way, believe it or not, I will kill you!"

When the maidservants in the garden heard the noise, they were so frightened that they immediately ran to inform the police.

Gu Qingchen slapped a servant and rushed in with the servants. He gave an order:

"Search it thoroughly inside and out. Don't miss any corners."

After hearing the announcement, Song Wanyin came out with Tiancheng. Seeing that they were about to search Qingzhu Garden, she spoke out to stop them:

"How dare you! This is my bedroom. How can I allow you to run wild as you please?"

Gu Qingchen asked angrily:

"Song Wanyin, you have always coveted the Gu family's property. Did you steal some of the house and land deeds?"

Song Wanyin had already anticipated this and said calmly:

“I didn’t steal the things, I can let you search.

But if you can’t find anything, how can you make amends?”
