This powerful statement left Gu Qingchen speechless. He felt as if a huge rock was pressing on his chest and he couldn't breathe.

He had seen Song Wanyin's powerful methods of sticking to her word. If the lost items were not found in her Qingzhu Garden, wouldn't she be able to criticize him?

For a moment, Gu Qingchen felt like he was in a dilemma, but on the surface he tried his best to hide his inner uneasiness.

“Song Wanyin, this Qingzhu Garden is also considered a part of the Marquis’s Mansion.

Since valuable things have been lost in the house, it is reasonable to search everything.

You are making things difficult for me and are not cooperating in every way. Is it because you feel guilty about it?"

Song Wanyin was amused by his unconfident words:

"Gu Qingchen, you and I both know who is guilty.

You seldom come to my garden, and every time you come you either quarrel with me or cause trouble for me.

Isn't this just looking for trouble?"

Gu Qingchen's eyes were red, like a ferocious cheetah, and his fists were clenched so hard that they made a "crackling" sound:

"Song Wanyin, don't think that you can easily control the entire Gu family just because you have a few bucks in your hand.

Even without your money, I can still shoulder the burden of the Gu family."

Song Wanyin couldn't help but pour a basin of cold water on him and said:

"Gu Qingchen, what can you rely on? Just your annual salary?

It's not enough for you to squander alone. People who have never been in charge of the household don't know how expensive firewood, rice, oil and salt are.

Are you planning to sell off some of your property to supplement your family income?"

Gu Qingchen's face turned red and white as if he had been slapped in public. He was so ashamed that he felt embarrassed.

"Everyone has their own way of living, and the Gu family won't stop running just because you're gone.

Whether I sell my property or not is none of your business."

Song Wanyin raised her eyebrows slightly and sneered:

"Since it's none of my business, why did you come to my garden with such fanfare to search?

You look so anxious, if it wasn't about money, you wouldn't be so anxious."

Over the years, she has already figured out Gu Qingchen's temperament and character. He only cares about his career prospects and money more than anything else. He doesn't care about anything else at all.

Gu Qingchen was so angry that his face turned red and his neck became thick. He felt very unhappy that he couldn't win the argument with her and was easily controlled by her.

“As a marquis, I cannot tolerate even a grain of sand in my eyes, and I treat all the internal affairs of the mansion equally.

Since I have searched all the places, only your garden has not been searched yet.

There are so many servants in the mansion watching, I can't treat some differently than others, wouldn't people say I'm intentionally protecting the thief?"

Song Wanyin was certain that he was just making a lot of noise but doing little, so she made an elegant gesture of invitation:

"If you want to search, go ahead.

However, I have to say something ugly first.

If you can't find anything during the search, you will not only have to kowtow to me and apologize, but you will also have to compensate me for all my mental losses.

Of course, you can also default on your debt.

If I let the news out, my father's subordinates would definitely feel sorry for what happened to me.

By then, your career path will probably be in jeopardy.

Moreover, in the past few years, the Marquis's Mansion has relied on my dowry to support the entire family.

Just imagine how the court would view you, a freeloader?"

As the saying goes, when you hit a snake, you should hit it at the seven-inch point, and when you pinch a person, you should pinch him at three inches.

Gu Qingchen's face kept twitching, and he wished he could tear her in half alive. His extremely arrogant attitude just now was instantly chilled to the bone like a basin of cold water.

"Okay, very good, you have guts, I think you are awesome.

I don't believe that you don't have any weaknesses or handles. Once I catch you, I will never let you off easily.

Let's see! "

Gu Qingchen turned around angrily and accidentally hurt his wound. His legs went weak and he knelt down.

He happened to be kneeling upright in front of a servant, who was so frightened that his face turned pale. He also knelt down immediately, kowtowed and begged for mercy.

"My Lord, what are you doing?

I am so embarrassed. I cannot accept such a great gift from you.

You are trying to kill me, aren't you? "

Tiancheng and Nanny Wei couldn't help but burst out laughing. They didn't expect Gu Qingchen to be so embarrassed.

Every time he came to cause trouble for their master, they would feel angry and wait for him to make a fool of himself, which would be considered as revenge.

Gu Qingchen's face was dark. If looks could kill, he would have killed everyone in Qingzhu Garden instantly.

“What are you looking at?

If you look at me again, I will dig out all your eyeballs!

Hurry up and help me up."

The servants rushed forward, helped him up, brushed off the dust on his body, and were so terrified that they didn't dare to look up.

Suddenly, there was a rustling sound in the shadow of the corner of the garden, and vaguely a figure could be seen suddenly rushing out and blending into the mottled bricks and stones.

The cold wind blew past, carrying with it a hint of uneasiness.

Gu Qingchen keenly sensed that something was wrong, with a vigilant light flashing in his eyes, he shouted loudly:

"Who? Who's there?"

At his command, the servants rushed to the corners and conducted a large-scale search, determined to catch the uninvited guest.

Tiancheng and Nanny Wei subconsciously protected Song Wanyin, fearing that she might get into trouble.

Song Wanyin couldn't help but feel puzzled. It would be very difficult for ordinary thieves to climb over the high walls of the Marquis' Mansion.

Only a top master like Bai Shaobo who is good at light work can sneak into the mansion without being noticed.

Even if someone with ill intentions sneaked into the mansion, Bai Shaobo, who was hiding in the dark to protect himself at all times, would not sit idly by.

Then there is only one possibility, the visitor is not an outsider, but a domestic thief.

In an instant, the shadow hiding in the shadows became panicked and tried to climb the ladder and over the wall, but because he was too nervous and hurried, his movements were clumsy and panicked, and he fell to the ground with a thud, grimacing and screaming.

The servants immediately stepped forward, twisted his arms quickly behind his back, and pinned him down hard, leaving him without any power to resist.

"You bold lunatic, how can you sneak into the Marquis's Mansion, a place so important?

Hurry up and surrender!"

The shadow twisted its body in a weird posture, and it was in so much pain that it saw stars and cursed loudly:

"You damned slaves, open your dog eyes and see clearly.

I am not a thief, I am Gu Qingye!

It hurts so much, my arm seems to be dislocated, wait and see how I will deal with you guys when I get back!"

Upon hearing this, the servants looked at each other and immediately turned the thief's front around.

In an instant, everyone was shocked. They hurriedly let go of him, fell to their knees, and kowtowed to admit their mistakes.

"I am blind and I hope the Fourth Young Master will forgive me!"

How could the fourth young master of the mansion sneak here and climb over the wall?

Gu Qingchen waited for a long time but saw no movement, so he shouted harshly:

“Are they all dead?

Hurry up and bring that thief to me."
