First-rank palace maid Su Jixiang

Chapter 199 Her Things Are Missing

Before leaving, Li Yuzhu glanced at Zhao Xiuwan. Seeing that Zhao Xiuwan's face was obviously panicked, she smiled contemptuously.

Zhao Xiuwan frowned, lowered her head and bit her fingers.

"Mrs. Qian looks very nervous." Su Jixiang rolled up his sleeves, poured her a cup of tea and pushed it in front of her.

"Nervous? What are you nervous about? Who is nervous?" Zhao Xiuwan's eyes were full of panic, but her mouth was very hard.

She was extremely panicked.

She knew how clumsy her lie was. Yes, Li Yuzhu's house was sealed off, not burned down. She just couldn't produce evidence right away.

What should I do if she really brings the IOU later?

"Madam, why are you sweating?" Qian Feng sat aside and wanted to take a look at the injuries on his wife's face, but found that tiny beads of sweat were oozing out of her temples.

"It's very hot." Zhao Xiuwan forced a smile and pretended to fan herself with her sleeves.

who cares!

Anyway, only she and Li Yuzhu knew about the IOU. When the time comes, she will try to shift the blame and say that the IOU was forged by Li Yuzhu to cheat her out of money.

Just bite to death like this!

Thinking of this, Zhao Xiuwan became a little calmer.

It is really difficult to win a lawsuit between two people.

Unless Li Yuzhu can find other evidence.

After Li Yuzhu arrived at her home, she went straight to the closet.

Her banknotes and IOUs were kept in the closet.

When her house was sealed off, she didn't have time to bring these things out.

But when she really opened the closet, she was dumbfounded.

Under her pile of clothes there was the wooden box in which she kept her banknotes!

"Impossible!" She cried out, and her hands and feet suddenly turned cold. "How could this happen!" She anxiously turned out all her clothes, turned them upside down, and threw them all over the floor.

But even so, there was no trace of the box.

God can't play such a joke on her!

All her savings are in that box.

She did not throw away the money and treasures when the rebels entered the palace in Dongdu, and brought them safely to Mangcheng. How could she have lost them in her own home!

She searched again and again, and turned the entire house over, but still couldn't find the box. She collapsed to the ground as if all the muscles in her body had been pulled out.

"Madam, have you found it?" asked the guard who accompanied her.

Li Yuzhu suddenly raised her eyes and looked at the guard with red eyes, "It's you, right?"

"What?" The guard was confused.

He was too late to dodge and was grabbed by the collar by Li Yuzhu who jumped up from the ground. "You took my things and my money!" she said hatefully, "You are trying to kill me!"

"Madam, please respect yourself!" The guard who was suddenly grabbed by the collar frowned and said unhappily, "I have never taken your things. You just saw that when I entered the room, everything in the room was in order and no one had touched anything!"

"You steal things, so you naturally won't say that you are thieves!" Li Yuzhu kind of lost her mind and suddenly opened her mouth to bite the guard.

Seeing this, the guard quickly moved aside and pushed Li Yuzhu away.

Li Yuzhu was unsteady on her feet and took several steps back.

"Madam, please wake up!" the guard said angrily, "This is not the place for you to act so recklessly! Since you can't find it, come back with me and report!"

After saying that, he didn't care how Li Yuzhu cried or made a fuss. He just grabbed Li Yuzhu and dragged her out of the house.

When Li Yuzhu reappeared in the private room, her hair was disheveled like Zhao Xiuwan's, and her face was streaked with black and red, looking terrible.

"What's going on?" As soon as Zhao Xiuwan saw Li Yuzhu's expression, she knew that her IOU was not found! She felt relieved immediately, followed by a burst of ecstasy.

She asked in mock surprise.

"How dare you ask?" Li Yuzhu's mind became much clearer after being dragged along by the guards.

This IOU was placed together with her other money. If it wasn't taken by someone who had sealed her house, then it must have been taken by the maid who usually served her!

After all, as the guard said, the whole house was clean, just as it was when she left. In this case, the outsider did not touch their things.

Her box is relatively hidden.

Her box was still wrapped in clothes.

And when she was rummaging through the clothes just now, they were all neatly folded together, without any signs of having been messed up.

So it must be her maid!

Because only those who serve her personally know where her things are.

In the past, the maids around her would never steal anything in the palace. They didn't have the guts! When she arrived in Mangcheng, she was still very careful, but she didn't do anything behind her maid's back.

She was using the people here as if they were people in the palace...

She was careless!

"General!" Li Yuzhu thought of this and knelt down again in front of Wei Ling. "I ask the general to find someone for me."

"You say." Wei Ling said calmly.

"I just came home and found something missing." Li Yuzhu recounted how she couldn't find her things and also told her own guess. "General, please help me find my former maid."

After her house was sealed, she let her maid go back. After all, the money she had now was barely enough to support herself, and she had been living in an inn for the past few days.

When she first hired a maid, she did not buy one from a human trafficker, but posted a notice to recruit one.

She had calculated that hiring a maid was expensive, so she used her tactics. If she found the maid unsuitable, she could fire her and replace her with someone else.

"Do you know where she is from?" Wei Ling looked at Su Jixiang and saw Su Jixiang nodded. Wei Ling then asked.

Su Jixiang knew that Li Yuzhu was not lying.

Li Yuzhu still had some money in her hands. After all, on the way to Mangcheng, she had seen Li Yuzhu get up at night to look for her things, among which was a mahogany box.

I guess the box she was talking about was the mahogany box she brought from Dongdu.

There must be something valuable inside.

At this point, there was no need for Li Yuzhu to lie.

People are in a desperate situation, so how could they make up so many lies in a short period of time?

Li Yuzhu told Wei Ling everything she knew.

Wei Ling asked the guards to write it down and check it later.

With the maid's origin, it was not difficult to find the person, but the guard returned soon after he left, "Reporting to the general, the family that this lady mentioned suddenly left Mangcheng..."

"What?" Li Yuzhu fell to the ground upon hearing this...
