Chapter 124: Your Performance Was Too Much

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

After explaining his intentions, Lu Mou led his men to survey the surroundings of Leihua Courtyard.

It was only at this moment that Moer realized that Liu s.h.i.+mei did not allow her to clean up any place last night because of this!

Lu Mous people spent two hours carefully looking through the entire Leihua Courtyard, then went to Nanny Lis room to ask questions and explain the process.

Lord Lu, 1 happen to have a list of the items in the warehouse that 1 tidied up a few days ago. According to the list, about one-third of the items were stolen. Because Ive been recuperating outside the ancestral home and havent returned, 1 know about this matter. It seemed that such a big theft was carried out over the course of more than one day!

Liu s.h.i.+mei asked Moer to send the list to Lu Mou.

When they saw the thick list, those who did not know that Liang Ruyis dowry was so large were all shocked.

With so much property, losing one-third of it was indeed impossible to move it away in a day!

With such a thing happening in the backyard of the residence, it was naturally impossible for Madam Zhang to be absent. She stood beside Liu Fuyun and said, s.h.i.+mei, you insist on saying that you lost something. Do you have any witnesses or evidence? You said that it was stolen, but we can also understand that you created the scene of the theft and tried to frame someone!

Liu s.h.i.+mei was not angry and just laughed it off. Madams words seem to have grasped my thoughts clearly. Could it be that the person who stole my property is you? Youve already thought of an excuse to get away with it, right?

Liu s.h.i.+mei, dont speak nonsense! Madam Zhangs face stiffened. Dont say that Im your stepmother. The Grand Chancellor is here too. Theres also Lord Lu. How can you speak like this?!

Im the victim, If dont have the right to speak. Who does? Liu s.h.i.+mei replied indifferently, her tone calm and without any hint of disobedience.

Not to mention Liu s.h.i.+meis att.i.tude towards Madam Zhang, everyone could tell that the relations.h.i.+p between the stepmother and stepdaughter was not very harmonious just by looking at Madam Zhangs att.i.tude towards Liu s.h.i.+mei.

In the past, she had always heard that the Grand Chancellors wife and Eldest Miss were kind to their mother and filial to their daughter. Now, it seemed that it was all an act!

Madam Zhang did not know that she had lost something. She looked like she had suffered a great grievance and said with an unbearable expression, Grand Chancellor, after s.h.i.+mei got engaged, her wings have hardened. I cant control her anymore!

Liu Fuyuns expression was even uglier than before!

With his understanding of his wife and daughter, it was not difficult to imagine that these stolen properties were most likely planned by Madam Zhang. Otherwise, it was Liu Yaner!

These little women, they had no foresight at all!

Yesterday, he had lost so many properties in exchange for Liu s.h.i.+meis anger towards Liu Yaner to subside. In the end, these women were dragging him down behind his back!

As for Madam Zhang, she did not realize that her husband did not like her. She sobbed and said, Its said that its hard for a stepmother. 1 can understand now. If 1 treat her well, people will suspect that 1 have ulterior motives. If 1 treat her badly, Ill also be guilty!

As she spoke, she realized that the surroundings were silent and stopped.

Everyone looked at her.

Liu s.h.i.+mei could not help but laugh. Madam, your performance is too much. Dont you know what youre doing?

After Madam Zhang became the wife of the Grand Chancellor and received the t.i.tle of a first-grade imperial edict, she had always held her head high like a peac.o.c.k with its tail open. If she did not have a guilty conscience, why would he act like a b*tch?

Usually, Liu Fuyun would fall for her tricks, but now that he was angry, how could he take it lying down?

Madam, stop talking and listen to Lord Lu!

No matter how blind a person was, they could see Liu Fuyuns displeasure, let alone Madam Zhang, who was leeching off him.

She tactfully shut her mouth.

Liu s.h.i.+mei turned to Lu Mou and bowed, asking, Lord Lu, may I ask if you have discovered anything?
