Meng Kexin began a thorough search of the housekeeper's room, carefully searching every corner, drawer, and cabinet, leaving no trace of any clues.

As Meng Kexin moved, more and more treasures appeared before her eyes.

Meng Kexin couldn't believe it. This seemingly honest and loyal steward actually secretly embezzled so many precious treasures from the general's mansion!

These fortunes that originally belonged to her family now fell into the hands of others, which ignited a raging anger in her heart.

"Damn it, this really is true that you can't judge a person by his appearance. He looks honest on the surface, but he actually embezzled so much."

While complaining, Meng Kexin put all the things into the system warehouse.

"Humph, these things originally belonged to me. Now I'm just returning them to their original owner."

But she didn't want anyone to know that the housekeeper's death was related to her. Meng Kexin's eyes turned and she came up with a good idea.

She wants to transplant the blame to others!

Thinking of this, Meng Kexin began to set up the scene.

She deliberately messed up the placement of some items to create a chaotic scene of robbery; at the same time, she also left some obvious clues to make people mistakenly believe that this was just an ordinary case of robbery and murder.

After everything was ready, Meng Kexin nodded with satisfaction, then dusted off her hands and left this place full of sin and greed as if nothing had happened.

And that seemingly loyal butler disappeared from people's sight forever...

Meng Kexin returned to her room and fell asleep on the bed in seconds. After all this trouble, she was really tired.

Meng Kexin slept very soundly that night, and when she woke up it was already noon.

When Cui'er saw that her young lady had woken up, she quickly brought her some water and helped her wash her face.

"Miss, the housekeeper was murdered last night. The Second Master was furious when he found out."

Meng Kexin was shocked when she heard the news, but she pretended not to know and asked in surprise, "Ah! Has the murderer been found?"

Cui Er shook her head and said, "Not yet. Second Master has already sent someone to check."

Meng Kexin frowned, thinking secretly in her heart. She knew that this matter must be very serious. The housekeeper had been in the mansion for many years and must know a lot about the mansion. Now that the housekeeper was dead, Meng Weiyuancheng had lost his right-hand man and must be furious!

She decided to go see her good second uncle and find out what he had to say, so she got up and walked towards Meng Weicheng's room.

When I arrived at my second uncle's room, I saw him sitting on a chair with a gloomy face and anger and sadness in his eyes.

Meng Kexin walked over gently and said, "Second Uncle, don't be too sad. It's important to take care of yourself."

Meng Weicheng raised his head, glanced at her, and said, "Ke Xin, you're here."

Meng Kexin nodded and said, "Second Uncle, I heard about the housekeeper's murder. You must find the murderer and avenge the housekeeper."

Meng Weicheng sighed and said, "I will definitely do it. The housekeeper is my right-hand man. His death is a great loss to me."

Meng Kexin comforted him, "Uncle, don't be too sad. I believe the murderer will be found."

Meng Weicheng nodded and said, "Thank you, Ke Xin.

Meng Kexin looked at her second uncle expressionlessly, but a barely perceptible sneer flickered in her eyes. She was secretly pleased with herself, thinking that her plan was coming true step by step.

She knew that to completely defeat her Second Uncle, she had to first eliminate his right-hand men. These men were his right-hand men and the foundation of his power. If she eliminated them one by one, her Second Uncle would be left with no one to fight against her.

In her eyes, her second uncle was no longer the elder she once feared, but an enemy who must be defeated. She would not show any mercy or leniency, because she knew that in this cruel world, only the strong could survive.

Meng Kexin took a deep breath and turned to leave. Her steps were firm and powerful, as if to tell everyone that she was ready to face any challenge.

Meng Kexin returned to her room and then remembered that she had not checked the system panel yet, and didn't know whether Mu Changfeng had sent the container of water over.

Meng Kexin opened the system panel and saw many unread messages.

Mu Changfeng: [Little sister, the bucket has been sent to you. When you have time, please fill it up and send it to me.]

Mu Changfeng: [Little sister, I went out on a mission yesterday and robbed a textile factory. I harvested a lot of silk, but I can't use it here, so I'll send it to you.]

Mu Changfeng: [Little sister, let me tell you, I have to go out on missions frequently, so I may not be able to reply to your messages in time. If you have anything to say, please leave a message, don’t be polite with me.]

When Mu Changfeng came back from his mission yesterday, he found a lot of buckets and sent them to Meng Kexin. He felt that he had met a kind person.

If it were someone else, knowing that they were short of water, they would definitely bring this up, but Meng Kexin didn't. However, Mu Changfeng has always been a person who is soft-hearted and not tough. Meng Kexin's behavior just touched the softest spot in his heart.

After reading the message from Mu Changfeng, Meng Kexin immediately called Cui'er over and said, "Cui'er, go to the well and fill these containers with water, then bring them in for me."

Cui Er looked at the containers she had never seen before and asked in confusion, "Miss, what are these things? Why do they look so strange?"

"This is a container for holding water. Don't worry about anything else and go get some water." Meng Kexin urged.

Cui'er obeyed the order and soon returned to the room with a container full of water.

"Miss, the water is back."

Meng Kexin immediately started the system and transferred the water to Mu Changfeng.

And left him a message: "Brother Mu, I received everything you sent. Thank you for always considering me. I have sent you drinking water. Let me know if you run out."

After closing the system panel, she sat alone in the room. She had to think of a way to deal with her second uncle and prepare for taking charge of the general's mansion in the future.

Suddenly, she remembered what Mu Changfeng had sent her. Meng Kexin opened the system warehouse. She originally thought that the cloth Mu Changfeng had sent her would only be enough to make a few sets of clothes. What she didn't expect was that it was actually batches of silk in various colors.

"Oh my god, this is too much! It's enough to open a silk shop."

Meng Kexin didn't expect Mu Changfeng to be so honest, but this was also the result she wanted. Since he was so generous, she would definitely not be stingy.

"Cui'er, go tell the kitchen to make more food and send it over. Your young lady will be of great use to me."

Although Cui Er didn't understand why the young lady needed so much food, she did whatever the young lady asked her to do and replied happily: "Okay, young lady, I will go right away."
