An eight-year-old kid emptied his scumbag father's warehouse and followed his grandparents into

Nanny Chang responded and went to the backyard of Diecuiyuan, not daring to delay for a single step. Looking at the horrible look on Mo Yan's face just now, she had no idea how frightened he was, as if he had lost all his soul.

When he got to the warehouse in the backyard and opened it, the scene was so bizarre that he couldn't even stand up. "Madam, this is bad. Everything in the warehouse is gone."

There was silence in the room.

After a while, Old Liu finally trembled and said, "How is it possible? How is it possible? The warehouse is right under our noses, but we are never short of people.

Ruhua, hurry up! Hurry up and help me over." The old lady's voice was trembling. Nanny Chang was worried that she would fall down soon, so she hurried forward to support her.

Her own warehouse was in the courtyard, and now the huge warehouse was left with only empty shelves. Even the ornaments on the ground that were taller than a person and the rosewood furniture that usually took several people to carry were gone. The looting was so thorough. The old lady's eyes went dark. If no one had supported her and taken precautions in advance, she would probably have fallen headfirst.

"Gone?... Where did it go? Oh! God! That's all my family fortune!" She screamed hysterically, then worried about the rest of the family and shouted, "Hurry, hurry to Zhaoxia Courtyard and see if the dowry is still there."

Even at this point, Old Lady Liu's thoughts were still unshaken. Even if her own things were gone, as long as Jing Qiurong's dowry was still there, it wouldn't be a big deal. But if that was also stolen, this seemingly glamorous mansion would collapse.

Seeing that Nanny Chang wanted to leave, she said in a muffled voice, "Take two more people with you and check all the warehouses to see if there are any more thefts. Report it immediately."

Nanny Chang herself stumbled. The strangeness in the warehouse was truly too bizarre, something she had never even heard of in the capital, let alone witnessed. This courtyard had never been short of people, and it was so close to them, right under their noses and the old lady's. How had they moved in? When had they moved in? She remembered going in there just two days before the young lady's divorce, and it had been packed with everything. But in just a few days, it was completely empty, as if swept away by an evil spirit. Could it really be retribution, as the maids outside had said?

She left Ruhua to serve the old lady and took Ruxiu out directly.

Nanny Chang's brain was still sharp, and she still remembered what Old Lady Liu had told her. As she left the house, she called out to the two servants, "Go check the kitchen and granary to see if there's anything else stolen. Also, have the guards check the gatehouse and the surrounding walls to see if anything's amiss."

"What should I do? It's gone! Nothing." Old Liu was so angry that she finally fainted in front of Ruhua.

……

Chu Xuan and his son naturally ran to Chu Lingfeng's study first. Seeing that it was empty, even the painting of the ladies hanging on the wall was gone, they knew that something was wrong.

When he opened the secret compartment in the partition wall, not a single piece of gold or silver mail remained, not even a scrap of paper from the wastebasket. The Marquis slumped down in his chair, "It's over, it's over." He couldn't even speak anymore, and he collapsed, no longer following his son. He seemed to have aged decades.

"Investigate the entire mansion. Investigate every person who has entered and exited the mansion these past few days." Chu Xuan was furious, his mind racing like a wheel, trying to figure out what had happened in the mansion these past two days, but his mind was a blur. He had spent days in the two concubines' quarters, his mind a blur. All he heard were rumors of his wife and children leaving him, and the nobles' circle spreading rumors about the ruthlessness of their mansion. He was completely oblivious to what was happening inside the mansion.

"Who's been on duty these days? When did the theft occur? Let's investigate thoroughly."

Finally, the chief steward, several stewards and guards came one after another to report that the whole mansion had been robbed and all the valuables were gone.

Chu Lingfeng wanted to beat his son to death. He glared at the servants kneeling and trembling below him and roared, "Where have you been these past few days? The house must have been invaded by the Jiangyang thief. How many people would have to come in to move it out? How could someone report so many things missing?"

"I..." Chu Xuan was speechless. He couldn't say that he was ridiculous and had been staying in the concubine's courtyard and had not asked about the affairs of the family.

However, the housekeeper, doorman and guards reported that there had been almost no outside visitors in the past few days, and it was even more impossible for so many people to come in and move things.

Chu Xuan was kicked: "Rebellious son, there must be a thief inside, go check it out quickly."

Chu Xuan was very unhappy about losing face in front of the servants for no reason and being blamed for the incident. He kicked the ball back directly: "Losing so many things must not have happened overnight. Father, you haven't been to the study these days?"

"I... I'm in court, I don't have as much free time as you." Chu Lingfeng was so angry that he wanted to die. This rebellious son just wouldn't let him get away with it. If he got any closer, he would have wanted to slap him again.

The Marquis had no choice but to scold them all and send them out to investigate the whole matter. Finally, he dragged over the two illegitimate sons who had no sense of existence in his eyes and scolded them.

It was not until Mo Yan came in and asked Doctor Park what to do that Chu Xuan remembered that there was someone waiting in his study, and he hurried over.

When he entered his study and found that everything was empty, he was overwhelmed. However, he pretended to be calm in front of Doctor Park and did not dare to make any moves immediately. He respectfully asked Doctor Park to write down the prescription for treating Xiao Liu. After paying the consultation fee, he asked the housekeeper to send it out. Even the pen, ink, paper and inkstone were borrowed from Fu Ge'er.

Finally, he sat on the chair in his study, unable to come back to his senses for a long time, looking just like the old marquis, completely depressed.

Weird, really weird.

The original wife and children were gone, Concubine Liu was ill, the old lady was busy with her grandson, and her father was away, sleeping at the concubine's. There was no one to take care of things for a few days, and this thief took advantage of this opportunity to get in. He was so powerful and so familiar with the mansion that he didn't believe he was not an internal thief. "Investigate everyone in each courtyard, thoroughly and strictly, who comes in and who goes out, and when, every detail is thoroughly investigated."

He couldn't believe that there was no one colluding with him from inside and outside, but who had such great ability to enter the Marquis' Mansion and steal so many things as if it were no one's home? Even if he held military power, all the people in the Marquis' Mansion had to be killed.

Could it be Jing Qiurong? Could she be unwilling to part with her small dowry and secretly hired someone to move it? But even he couldn't believe it.

The General's Mansion was in such a precarious situation that she herself was unable to take care of herself, let alone dispatch troops. Moreover, even the shelves in her warehouse had been emptied. How many people would it take to move everything out, and how much noise would it take? Otherwise, even if there were a hundred or so people, it would take at least two or three days to finish moving everything.

Moreover, Jing Qiurong, apart from managing the affairs of the backyard, had basically never set foot in their front yard. How could she possibly know the secret compartment in their father and son's study? It was not the Fourth Prince's sworn enemies who had noticed the movements of their mansion and wanted to find something to hold against them.

Another possibility he didn't dare to think of was that the Fourth Prince didn't trust them enough, and knew that their subsequent support would not be strong enough. He was afraid that they would have the upper hand, so he would take action against them first.
