Li Miaoyi had just finished lunch when she saw Zhong Xia running in anxiously.

Li Miaoyi slowly put down the teacup in her hand and asked, "Why are you in such a hurry?"

Zhong Xia gasped, leaning slightly on her waist, and said, "Miss, Mr. Yang has brought people to search the house."

Li Miaoyi quickly stood up and said, "Let's go to Li Sun's courtyard."

Zhong Xia nodded and followed Li Miaoyi closely.

Li Miaoyi turned to look at Zhong Xia, and slowly asked, "Is dad in the house?"

Zhong Xia shook his head and said, "The master went out early in the morning and has not come back yet."

Hearing this, Li Miaoyi chuckled. Li Muqing is not here now, but no one can save her.

Li Miaoyi smiled and said, "Go to Meng Chun and ask her to arrange for some people whom my mother can trust to guard the door of the house, paying special attention to the people in Li Sun's courtyard. Today, not even a fly can fly out of the house."

"Yes, miss." Zhongxia felt blessed, then turned around and walked back.

When they arrived at Li Sunshi's courtyard, they saw Li Jiangshi standing in the middle of the courtyard. When she saw Li Miaoyi coming, she smiled at her.

Li Miaoyi quickly walked to Mrs. Li Jiang's side and slowly said, "Mother, what is going on now?"

Li Jiang lay next to Li Miaoyi's ear and whispered, "Mr. Yang got the search warrant and brought people here."

Li Miaoyi nodded and turned to look inside the house.

I saw a group of people in the house, all dressed in brocade, tall and mighty, holding long guns and standing in the house looking back. No resistance was allowed to search for hidden things.

Li Sun didn't know what she said inside, but no one paid attention to her.

Mrs. Li Sun was wearing rich clothes and high-soled embroidered shoes, but her movements were not coordinated and graceful at all. Instead, she ran quickly, her cheeks were reddish, and big beads of sweat rolled down her forehead, and she looked very anxious.

Tilting her head, she saw Li Jiangshi and Li Miaoyi standing at the door. Her eyes lit up instantly and she ran towards them quickly.

Mrs. Li Sun came to the two of them and said, "Madam, look at this?"

Mrs. Li Jiang raised her head slightly, with an indifferent expression on her face, and slowly said, "This matter concerns the government, and I, a woman, cannot make the decision."

There was some worry between Li Sun's brows, and she said, "But Madam, this is against the rules. After all, this is the master's mansion. After all, the master is also an official of the imperial court. Wouldn't it be disrespectful to the master if they came to search like this?"

Li Miaoyi raised her eyebrows and thought it was very interesting. Li Jiang wanted to pull Li Muqing out as a shield.

According to what she said before, maybe Li Jiangshi would find a way to save Li Muqing's face, but now, things are different from the past.

Li Jiangshi chuckled and said, "Didn't you see the search warrant?"

Li Sun was stunned for a moment, not knowing what Li Jiang meant by this. She nodded slowly and said, "I saw it."

Li Jiangshi looked indifferent and said, "Since you have seen the search warrant, you know that these government officials are acting according to the rules. Not to mention that the master is not here now. I believe that even if the master is there now, he must follow the rules."

Li Sun was suddenly as anxious as an ant on a hot pot, walking back and forth in the yard.

"Mother?" It was Li Miaoyin's voice.

Li Sun turned around and saw Li Miaoyin. Suddenly, as if she had a backbone, she stepped forward, held Li Miaoyin's hand tightly, and pointed to the room. Li Miaoyin’s brows furrowed tightly.

At this moment, the government servants from the room came out, holding different gold and silverware in their hands.

Mr. Yang was in front, slowly walking up to Mrs. Li Jiang and waving his hand. The government servants behind him stood in a row and raised what they were holding.

Master Yang said, "Madam, look here to see if there is your dowry."

Li Jiang raised her eyebrows, took a step forward, and walked back and forth in front of several people.

"Jade pieces entwined with mutton fat, twisted silver bracelets with gold inlay earrings, malachite green jade chains, coral silver rings..." Each piece inside is Li Jiang's dowry.

Li Jiangshi frowned, pursed her lips tightly, and the anger in her eyes seemed to ignite the air around her.

Mrs. Li Jiang quickly walked up to Mrs. Li Sun, pointed at the things in the Yamen's hands, and said angrily, "Where did those things come from?"

Li Sun lowered her head, not daring to look at Li Jiang's expression.

Li Miaoyin had a look of disbelief on her face and turned to look at Li Sunshi. After seeing that Li Sunshi didn't speak for a while, Li Miaoyin's voice trembled a little and she said, "Mother, what are those things?"

Li Sunshi suddenly felt disheartened, beads of sweat appeared on her forehead, and she opened her mouth, but in the end she said nothing.

Li Jiangshi sneered, looked at Li Miaoyin, and said word by word, "Let me tell you, those things are all my dowry, and your mother stole them from my house."

After speaking, Mrs. Li Sun suddenly raised her head and looked at Mrs. Li Jiang. Her face was pale, as if all the color had been lost. She shook her head and said, "Madam, I didn't steal any of this."

Li Jiangshi chuckled and said, "Then please explain to me, Aunt Sun, how these things got into your house."

Li Sun shook her head quickly, her face turned pale, and she rolled her eyes and said, "That grandma Sun must have stolen something and had no place to hide it, so she put it in my house."

After a pause, Mrs. Li Sun nodded, her tone full of determination, and said, "Yes, that must be the case."

Li Jiangshi sneered and said nothing, but turned to look at Mr. Yang.

Mr. Yang nodded slightly, looked at Mrs. Li Sun with a serious face, and said, "Aunt Sun, now that everyone has stolen the goods, please come with us to the Yamen."

Mrs. Li Sun shook her head hurriedly and said, "No, sir, this matter has nothing to do with me. Moreover, I am the concubine of a court official. I cannot go to the Yamen with you."

Master Yang frowned, with an impatient look on his face, and said, "Aunt Sun, this is not your decision. We have to follow our yamen's rules."

After a pause, Mr. Yang did not answer Li Sun's words and said, "If you don't want to follow us properly, we will have to use force."

Li Miaoyin gritted her teeth, turned to look at Li Sunshi, and said comfortingly, "Mother, you go with them first."

Li Sunshi looked at Li Miaoyin with despair and shook her head. Suddenly, her eyes lit up and she said, "Go to your father, Miaoyin, go to your father. Your father will definitely not watch me being taken away." .”

Li Miaoyin turned her head and glanced at the faces of Mrs. Li Jiang and Mr. Yang, and slowly said, "Mother, you go with them first. Don't make it difficult for this master. This master also acts impartially."

Li Miaoyin kept winking at Mrs. Li Sun.

In the end, Li Sun decided to listen to Li Miaoyin's words first, nodded, and followed Master Yang.
