"Have mercy, please stop hitting me, please stop!" The shrill screams became smaller and smaller, and he was about to be beaten to death.

Lin Yiwan then ran over with a nervous look on her face. She pretended to be confused and asked, "What's going on? Why are they fighting in the middle of the night?"

Ling'er stopped in time. She said angrily, "Miss, these thieves wanted to steal your dowry. Fortunately, Zi'er found out and woke me up, and we ran out to beat them!"

Lin Yiwan's eyes widened in shock. "What? How dare a thief sneak into Marquis Zhan Yi's mansion? He doesn't know what our Marquis does, does he? How dare he!"

After saying that, she slowly walked up to the men in black.

After a moment's silence, she spoke softly, "This is such a serious matter, we should report it to the authorities immediately. These thieves are so arrogant, only the Dali Temple can punish them!"

Ling'er nodded hurriedly: "Okay, I'll go right away!"

The man in black was so frightened that his eyes widened. He hurriedly tried to stop him: "Don't report to the police!"

Ling'er kicked him to the ground, then ran over, stepped on his face, and shouted, "You're just a thief, and you dare not report it to the police? Who gave you the courage?"

The man in black clenched his fists in anger and cursed loudly: "Bitch, how dare you!"

Ling'er's expression suddenly changed: "Hey, you dare to scold me? Since you want to die, then I will grant your wish and beat you to a pulp!"

Without hesitation, she picked up the stick and hit him with it again.

"Puff!" The man in black was beaten so hard that he vomited blood.

The man in black next to him couldn't bear to watch any longer and quickly rushed in front of him, anxiously trying to stop him: "Stop hitting him, please stop hitting him!"

Ling'er shouted, "You said we couldn't fight, so I won't? I'm going to beat you both together!"

Chen Zhilan felt distressed and panicked. Oh no! If she continued to hide it, she would probably die at the hands of this lowly maid today.

No, she has to take off the mask quickly!

Just when she subconsciously wanted to take off the mask, at the critical moment, Madam Zhan arrived with the support of Madam Lou.

She shouted anxiously: "Stop, stop it quickly, a lowly servant, do you think you can turn our mansion upside down?"

Ling'er immediately felt wronged. She gritted her teeth and said, "Old Madam, what you said is so unreasonable. Is it wrong for a servant to beat up thieves? Why should you protect them? Are you in cahoots with them?"

Old Madam Zhan’s whole body stiffened and she almost fell backwards.

Old Madam Lou was the first to speak up and scold: "How could that be possible? How could the old lady be in cahoots with the thieves? How could you, little girl, be so outspoken!"

Ling'er rolled her eyes: "The old lady's protective look can easily lead to misunderstandings. If you don't know, you might think she sent them!"

Lin Yiwan smiled with her eyes curved. Ling'er was so bold with her little mouth.

Look how angry Madam Zhan is, she is almost dying.

She spoke slowly, "Now that the old lady is here, it's easy to deal with. These thieves are so bold that they even dared to break into the residence of Marquis Zhan Yi. They must all be taken to the Dali Temple and must not be let off lightly!"

Madam Zhan clasped her hands together and said, "Amitabha, how could you commit such a murder at such a young age? Show some mercy when you can. They didn't steal anything from you, so why do you have to kill them all?"

Old Madam Lou also echoed: "That's right, our family is a family of kindness and courtesy, but we can't do such evil things that hurt the world and morality. Let's release them all quickly. Don't let people laugh at such a big commotion!"

Lin Yiwan stared coldly at the two old evil women who were in cahoots with each other. They talked about kindness and courtesy, but in fact, each one was more cunning than the other.

Look at this old lady on the floor. She is wearing an inconspicuous dark blue brocade skirt.

But the red marks on her neck were not covered up. Did she just crawl out of the bed with her lover?

Looking at Madam Zhan again, she looked dignified and graceful.

Who knew that there was a brocade box on her bed that contained all kinds of tools that she had taken back from Qinglou?

She raised the corner of her lips in mockery: "Then according to what the old lady said, how do you plan to deal with these thieves?"

Madam Zhan subconsciously wanted to say, "Let him go!"

But when she saw Lin Yiwan's cold gaze, she could only change her words: "Didn't you already order them to be beaten? I'll take them back first, give them a good beating, and make them promise not to steal again, and then kick them out of the house!"

Lin Yiwan was silent for a moment before frowning and saying, "Before the old lady takes them away, I'd like to ask a question: How did they open the warehouse without breaking the lock?"

This question immediately made Madam Zhan feel guilty. She sullenly rebuked, "Cats have their ways, and mice have their ways. They are thieves, and they don't even have this little skill. How can they make a living?"

After she finished speaking, she frowned and said, "I'm not saying anything bad about you, but you should reflect on why a thief would want your things. You should be more generous. Some good things can't be hidden, otherwise, it will attract thieves!"

Lin Yiwan really admired Madam Zhan’s robber theory. If you were robbed, it was your fault. Who made you have so many good things?

No wonder Zhan Yu is so cruel and heartless, it turns out that his roots are rotten.

After Madam Zhan finished prodding Lin Yiwan, she quickly winked at the men in black.

Just as she was about to take them away, a loud shout suddenly came from not far away: "Stop!"

Lin Yiwan suddenly saw him and hurried over to say, "Husband, the old lady just scolded me. It's because there are too many valuables in my storeroom that thieves snooped in. I know I was wrong. Isn't it just that we're going to return home tomorrow? I'll send it back to the Lin family."

Old Madam Zhan staggered in anger. This was obviously not what she meant. She didn't want her to send it back to the Lin family, but to distribute it to them!

Madam Lou spoke without hesitation: "What are you talking about? Since your things have entered the Marquis' Mansion, they belong to the Zhan family. How can you take them back to the Lin family?"

Lin Yiwan argued aggrievedly, "But I can't protect them either. Thieves can easily break into my yard. I'm scared just thinking about it!"

Zhan Yihou's pupils contracted violently. Even though he knew she was acting, he was still very angry.

How come this yard has become a sieve, allowing anyone to trespass freely?

If he is not here, won’t the little girl be in danger?

Thinking of this, his face became even gloomier and uglier.

He said in a deep voice, "Yingyi, tear off the masks on those thieves' faces. I want to see who in the capital dares to put their dirty hands into my lady's yard!"

Old Madam Zhan was so frightened that her legs went limp. She tried to stop him, "Yan'er, there's no need to go to such great lengths, is there? I can just give them a good beating when I get back. Is there really any need for a retrial?"
