She traveled through the book to become the prince's concubine? She chose to be the villain!

Something is missing! That won't do!

"What's missing?" Liu Rumei asked with a frown.

"I checked the list and found that seven sets of official kiln porcelain were missing, more than sixty pieces of jewelry were missing, more than thirty pieces of calligraphy and paintings were missing, and eighty-two sets of gold and silver ornaments were missing!"

Liu Rumei: ...So rich!

The Zhou family really loves their daughter. How much did they give as a dowry when she got married? The one that was stolen was less than half!

The old lady slammed the table without hesitation, pointed at the maid below and asked, "Who took it?"

The old lady was already irritated, and now she finally found the opportunity to vent her anger.

The old women knelt on the ground and the maids were trembling.

No one admitted it, so they could only cry out for injustice. The old lady smiled coldly.

"Great, it's really great. The Marquis's Mansion has so many thieves in the house, no one would believe it if we told others about it.

In that case, I won't ask you any more questions. I'll beat them one by one and see who is tougher with words or with sticks!"

Liu Rumei had no objection to this idea because it seemed to be the most direct and simple method at the moment.

This time, the servants from the outer courtyard were called in and each of them was given ten beatings with boards. The servants were ruthless, but the maids refused to tell anyone.

Liu Rumei didn't want to be beaten to death either, that would be meaningless.

"Grandma, the maids can't enter mother's storeroom. They are just greedy for some reward money at most."

When Liu Rumei said this, the little girl in the yard looked at her gratefully.

The girl is really kind-hearted. She saved their lives.

"What about what you mean?"

"It's simple. As long as these maids can tell us who took the biggest share, we will forgive them and let bygones be bygones."

Hearing this, the maids looked at each other, a little hesitant.

"You only have one chance. It's up to you whether you want to live or not."

Seeing Liu Rumei's expression, the maids dared not hesitate any longer.

"I said! I saw Madam Sun taking Madam's jewelry to sell!"

As soon as these words came out, Liu Rumei smiled, while Zhou Miaoyi was shocked.

"You bitch, you dare to slander me, I will kill you!"

Nanny Sun wanted to get up, but she was held down by the old women and couldn't move at all.

Seeing that she was unable to get up, more maids pointed at her.

This is a case of everyone pushing the wall down, and all kinds of things came out at once.

Liu Rumei looked at Nanny Sun, this person was useless, she wasn't sure if she could survive today.

Even if she didn't take action, the old lady would not let her go.

On the other side, Mrs. Li was calm, probably because she didn't have any evidence.

She is quite popular and no one points fingers at her.

"Madam, please save me!"

When Nanny Sun called out to her, Zhou Miaoyi was a little hesitant.

"If you didn't take anything, the old lady wouldn't punish you."

When Zhou Miaoyi said this, Nanny Sun's eyes were filled with shock.

She couldn't believe that the lady would say this at this time.

If you really didn't take it, then do you still need to beg for mercy?

She raised the lady as her daughter!

Now, she was abandoned like this!

Nanny Sun's eyes darkened instantly, and Mrs. Li was trembling all over. She had a deeper understanding of the mistress's cruelty and selfishness.

Fortunately, she didn't touch anything in the warehouse.

But she had moved other money. If the eldest girl found out, would she be able to survive?

"Dongqing, go check on Nanny Sun's room."

After Liu Rumei said this, Dong Qing took people to search the house, and then came out with a lot of things.

In addition to jewelry, there were also three thousand taels of silver notes.

But none of this matters, there are some valuable things in one of the boxes.

For example, round pearls, a gold necklace worn by the girl, and a box of beautiful gold peanuts.

"Girl, this is the gift that the Zhou family gives you every birthday. She actually kept a large portion of it!"

Chuntao had sharp eyes and recognized it immediately. She was very angry!

"Yeah, I didn't expect that either."

Liu Rumei said this and put the box of golden peanuts in her hand.

"Asshole, it would be better to kill such a servant and save your trouble!"

When the old lady said this, Liu Rumei stood up.

"Grandmother, although Nanny Sun deserves to be put to death, she is my mother's wet nurse after all, so you should still beat her with a stick and throw her on the farm.

Oh, and there’s Madam’s family. It’s pitiful for them to be separated. It would be better to send them all to the farm and make them ordinary slaves.”

When Liu Rumei said this, Nanny Sun's eyes widened immediately.

"Miss! Miss, spare my life! Kill me and let my children and grandchildren go!"

Liu Rumei shook her head and said, "If I beat you to death, your children and grandchildren will also be sold. Otherwise, what if they hold a grudge and want to harm the Marquis' Mansion?"

When Liu Rumei said this, there was fear in Nanny Sun's eyes. The eldest girl was so cruel.

She wants to eradicate the roots!

If she was beaten to death, the matter would be over, but the children and grandchildren could still be saved.

She planned for so many years and finally found good jobs for her children, and they are now enjoying a great success outside.

But now, everything is over!

The old lady also felt that Liu Rumei handled the matter very well and that this family really could not be kept.

"Let's do it this way. Tell the housekeeper to drive this whole family away. No one is allowed to take anything away except their bedding!"

There was naturally no problem with the old lady's order. Nanny Sun was beaten with thirty boards and then carried to the outer courtyard.

When Nanny Sun left, she didn't even look at Zhou Miaoyi, but stared at Liu Rumei, and she found that there was a cold smile in Liu Rumei's eyes when she looked at her.

She was wrong. She shouldn't have looked down on the older girl and shouldn't have hurt her.

In the end, not only did he not get the money, but his entire family was harmed.

But even if she was unwilling, who could protect her? In the end, she had trusted the wrong lady and recognized the wrong master!

"I really didn't expect that there would be such a black-hearted woman in the mansion. She is going to drain the foundation of my mansion! Zhou, if you don't have this ability, then hand over the housekeeper's job!"

The old lady couldn't help knocking on the door. She really didn't expect to lose so much money. She was angry, really angry!

Zhou lowered her head and said submissively, "My daughter-in-law always listens to my mother."

The old lady was suddenly in a state of panic. Doesn't she covet the power to be in charge of the family?

The old lady didn't expect that she would suddenly find herself in a difficult situation.

Let her be the housekeeper?

She just didn't want to suffer and fill the hole.

"Grandma, I'm old enough now, and it's time for me to learn how to be a housekeeper. Why don't I take care of the household first and share my worries?"

The old lady didn't care. As long as she didn't have to pay, it was fine. She went down the stairs.

"Well, you are a filial son."

Liu Rumei smiled. Yes, she was so filial. No one in the Marquis’ Mansion could escape.

In the end, Liu Rumei took away 30,000 taels of silver, and also took away a lot of gold and silver jewelry and antique porcelain from the warehouse, leaving only some silk and furniture for Zhou Miaoyi.

Mrs. Li felt like crying when she saw this, as these were their wife’s family assets.

But Zhou Miaoyi looked calm, as if she didn't care about these material things at all.

They are just some mundane things, it won't bother me if they are gone.

She should go back to reading and painting, and not bother with these vulgar people.

Mrs. Li felt as if everything in front of her eyes was going dark. Really, there was no hope for the rest of her life.

Liu Rumei complimented the old lady Zhang and told her not to think about the mother-son relationship and not to show mercy when beating her scumbag father, otherwise the prodigal son would dare to do it again in the future.

So when they separated, the old lady had all the household rules prepared, just waiting for her son to come home.

Liu Rumei really wanted to watch the fun, but the old lady was smart and didn't let her laugh at the joke.

Just don't watch it, as long as I can get my money back.

Where did the money go?

She knew the answer to this question, so she must have given it to her mistress Jiang Rou.
