Chapter 125 World 3: Nanny Li is punished
The next day, when Nanny Li came to the warehouse again, she was stunned by the scene before her - the warehouse was empty and all the valuables were gone.
Nanny Li searched everywhere frantically but found no clues. She could never imagine that all this was done by Wu Li.
Meanwhile, Wu Li was having breakfast with Chun Chan as if nothing had happened. She knew that something interesting was about to happen...
Nanny Li rushed to Madam Su in a panic, her shoes falling off in her haste. "Madam! Something terrible has happened!"
"Why are you panicking? Speak slowly." Madam Su put down her bowl and chopsticks, frowning and scolding. Her eyes revealed a hint of displeasure, as if she was dissatisfied with Madam Li's panic.
"Today is the day when the Khan of the Barbarians comes to pick up the young lady. You are so flustered that you are making a fool of yourself." Wu Qi taught him impatiently.
His tone was filled with blame, as he thought that Li Ma's panic would bring shame to the family.
"Yes."
Wu Ling'er joined in, even before she swallowed. Her voice was clear, but it also contained a hint of dissatisfaction and ridicule.
Seeing how cold and heartless the three of them were, Nanny Li felt a chill in her heart.
But she still tried to calm herself down, took a deep breath and said, "Master, Madam, there's been a thief in the house!"
Her voice trembled slightly, and she was obviously frightened.
"What was lost?" Madam Su didn't take it to heart. There were many people in the house, so it was normal that something was missing.
"All, all gone..." Nanny Li said tremblingly.
As he spoke, he lowered his head and his voice became smaller and smaller.
"What? Louder!" Wu Qi was already angry in the morning, and now he was even more angry seeing her like this.
Wu Qi had no idea that the reason he was reprimanded and challenged by the emperor at the morning court session was not because he had offended anyone.
But it was his own good daughter Wuli who contradicted and threatened the emperor yesterday. As a result, although the emperor conferred the title of first-rank lady on the original owner's mother this morning, his anger was naturally vented on him.
Wu Qi thought that the emperor meant to give him a candy and a slap in the face, using both kindness and severity.
"The warehouse, everything inside is gone!" Nanny Li closed her eyes, made up her mind, and shouted.
"What!" These three people were so shocked that they stopped eating and stood up and walked towards the warehouse.
When everyone came to the warehouse and saw the empty room, their faces became extremely ugly.
Wu Qi roared angrily, "What the hell is going on? How could such a good warehouse become like this?"
Nanny Li said tremblingly, "Master, it was like this when I came this morning. It must be the eldest daughter; she's the most suspicious. She was the only one in the house last night."
Wu Ling'er echoed, "Dad, it must be her. She has always been jealous of me and wants to take revenge on us."
Madam Su frowned and said, "Don't talk about these useless things for now. Let's report to the police immediately."
At this moment, a servant came running in, panting, "Oh no, sir, there's a group of people outside the door who say they're here to collect debts. They say our family owes them a lot of money."
Wu Qi's eyes widened: "What? How could this happen?"
Nanny Li suddenly remembered something: "Master, some time ago, that young lady said she wanted to take the first lady's dowry and also took away a large sum of money..."
Wu Qi stamped his feet in anger: "This rebellious girl! I really raised an ungrateful person!"
Wu Qi and his men rushed to Wu Li's room. However, they searched every corner but found nothing suspicious.
"What are you doing?" Wu Li looked displeased and pretended to be offended.
"Tell me! Where are all the things?"
Wu Qi was shaking with anger, pointing a trembling finger at Wu Li and shouting angrily. His eyes were filled with anger and determination, as if he had seen through everything.
Wu Li, however, looked at Wu Qi with a bewildered expression, and asked doubtfully, "Father, what are you talking about? I really don't know."
Her expression was sincere and innocent, which made people feel suspicious.
Just then, Nanny Li walked out from the side with a hint of pride and sarcasm on her face.
She said sarcastically, "Miss, please stop pretending. We all know what you did. What's the point of playing dumb?"
Mrs. Su also stood up. Her voice was soft and gentle, but it revealed a deep worry and disappointment.
She gently advised, "Li'er, what do you want with all that money and stuff? Do you want to take it to a barbarian land? Wouldn't that just give those barbarians a bargain?"
Her eyes were full of worry and helplessness, and she seemed very puzzled by Wuli's behavior.
"You came up here and searched and scolded me without asking any questions. What's going on? Is this family just too inconsiderate to accept me?"
Wu Li's face was filled with grief and indignation, tears glistening in her eyes, and she shouted in a trembling voice. She felt that she had been wronged and misunderstood, and her heart was filled with grievance and helplessness.
"You rebellious girl! Where did you put all the things in the warehouse?" Wu Qi glared at Wu Li and shouted at her. His face was gloomy, and his tone was harsh and angry.
Wu Li took a deep breath, trying to remain calm, and responded, "What? I only took a few items of dowry yesterday. My mother's things are basically gone. I have already distributed those things to the servants. As for the other things you mentioned, I don't know anything."
Her eyes were firm and calm, without any sign of retreat. She knew she had to defend herself and not let her father accuse her without reason.
"Yes, sir, I can testify for the eldest lady. Yesterday, those things were just a few hairpins and jewelry, and the lady divided them all among us." Chunchan stood up and said.
"Yeah, we saw that too."
"And I!"
The others confirmed, “Yes.”
"We were all here yesterday when Nanny Li came. It's true that she mainly brought a few worthless things."
"Yes, the eldest lady was summoned to the palace by His Majesty this afternoon. How could she have the time to empty the warehouse?"
"Besides, only Madam Li has this key."
Everyone was talking about it, looking at Nanny Li with suspicion.
Mrs. Su also reacted at this time, and she looked at Li Ma with an unfriendly look.
"I am innocent, Madam!" Nanny Li turned pale and knelt down to beg for mercy.
"You're talking nonsense. How could I possibly steal Madam's things?" Nanny Li argued in a panic.
However, Chunchan, standing by, sneered, "Hmph, Madam Li, stop quibbling! I saw you leaving the house yesterday, and your chest was bulging. You must have hidden something!"
"Yes, I saw her leave the house too," another maid echoed.
After hearing this, everyone was suddenly in an uproar.
"So that's why! No wonder she's so arrogant and domineering. She's actually a thief!" someone said angrily.
"Yes, we were all deceived by her!" others echoed.
Seeing this, Nanny Li's face turned even paler. She knew that the situation was hopeless and no amount of explanation would help.
So, she began to plead: "Madam, I just took a hairpin, please forgive me this time, I won't dare to do it again..."
However, the lady ignored her plea for mercy, but looked at her coldly, her eyes full of disappointment and anger.
"You are so brave, Madam Li, how dare you steal my things! Come, drag her away and give her twenty lashes!" the lady shouted angrily.
When Nanny Li heard this, she was so frightened that she immediately knelt down and kowtowed to beg for mercy.
But the lady had made up her mind and ignored her pleas for mercy.
Soon, several servants came forward and dragged Li Ma away, ready to enforce the family law.
When the servants saw this, they all applauded. They had long been disgusted with Li Ma's bullying behavior, and now they finally saw her receiving the punishment she deserved, and they couldn't help feeling a little happy.
