"Madam, you don't know something. Although our Gu family is a famous family, we have only accumulated some wealth in recent years and established a firm foothold in Kyoto.

After the fire a few days ago, I sent my mother-in-law to live in Zhuangzi for a short while. I never thought that she would actually say that the Gu family's wealth was all saved by her and my father-in-law... Let us hand over all the money. Keep it for her..."

After saying that, she cried even harder. Gu Shengying was just worried. If he really handed over all the family property to Qian, he wouldn't be able to keep it all and use it as a dowry for others.

But right now, there is no better solution.

After all, she has been taking care of the family's business for so many years.

After hearing this, Lin Qingwu felt ridiculous.

I originally thought that the person in my family was considered to be the best in the world, and I never thought that my family had hard-to-recite sutras.

"Mrs. Gu, please don't cry yet. You are still pregnant. If you get pregnant, won't you let those who want to laugh at you succeed?
If your mother-in-law really dared to get into that trouble, she must have really disregarded the friendship she has had for so many years and broke up with you. Is the arsonist that Lingying caught a few days ago still in the house now? "

Gu Shengying said hurriedly: "He's still at home, but he's been beaten half to death. I'm afraid he won't be able to get out of bed for ten days and a half."

Lin Qingwu nodded, "It's already a gift to let him breathe. If your mother really wants to make trouble, she just wants you to compromise. When the time comes, you can also go to court and let the arsonist I will testify to you that biting her to death was intentional murder.”

Lu Ling's eyes widened, why didn't she think of this?
If it really got to that point, there would be no human feelings left, and there would be no need for him to take it too seriously.

While several people were talking, Butler Liu walked in pushing a girl.

"Xiulan? What are you doing?"

Lu Ling looked her up and down, wondering what was going on.

Lin Qingwu looked at it but said nothing.

On the other hand, Xiulan's face was pale, her forehead was covered with sweat, her eyes were panicked, and she did not dare to look at Gu Shengying.

Butler Liu stepped forward, cupped his fists and saluted.

"Madam, Master, this girl sneaked into the house through the back door today and fumbled her way to the warehouse. Fortunately, the villain discovered this person's whereabouts during the inspection, so he followed her all the way. Who would have thought that she would dare to sneak into Madam's house? room, stealing the lady’s jewelry! Young Master, do you want to send her to the government?”

When Xiulan heard the word "official", she knelt down in fear.

"Cousin! Cousin, I beg you, don't send me to the government! I beg you!"

He kowtows as he speaks, looking very distressed.

Gu Shengying didn't know what to do for a while.

He knew that Xiulan's family was not rich, but she could tell him if she needed anything. How could she do such a thing as stealing?

Lin Qingwu looked at it coldly and felt that it was very lively.

Lu Ling quietly pulled Lin Qingwu and asked her for help.

She knew that Lin Qingwu had been the matron of the house for many years, so it would be easy to deal with such a thing.

Lin Qingwu just smiled at her and told her to relax.

"Girl, could someone be instigating this?" Lin Qingwu asked softly, which made Xiulan feel a lot more at ease.

At least there are still people willing to ask why.

But, should I say it or not?

My aunt had promised herself that as long as she got the thing, it would be [-]-[-].

Presumably, a person as soft-hearted as my cousin would not really send him to the government.Thinking of this, Xiulan lowered her head and said softly, "Cousin, no one instigated me, it was just me who was obsessed with it. Please forgive me because I am a first-time offender."

Gu Shengying sighed, he was really disappointed with this cousin.

I originally thought that my family was not rich, but my cousin’s life was simple and her people were kind. But who would have thought that she would become like this now!
If she really gets into trouble with the government, how will she get married in the future?

"That's it, that's it."

Xiulan was obviously excited when she heard what Gu Shengying said. Just as she was about to thank her, she heard Lin Qingwu say: "If you were not ordered by someone, how would you know that the guards at the back door were lax?

When and where did the patrol go? How do you know what is in your sister-in-law's room and where the jewelry is? "

Every time Lin Qingwu asked, Xiulan's face turned pale.

"me……"

She hesitated for a long time and couldn't say a complete sentence. How could anyone believe that what she said was true.

"Xiulan! If you are stubborn! Don't blame me as a cousin for not caring about affection!"

Gu Shengying was so angry that even now, she still didn't tell the truth!

He hates being deceived most in his life!
"Cousin! Cousin, listen to me! I...I was indeed instructed by someone, it was my aunt. It was my aunt who told me that my sister-in-law's things were placed in that place.

Not only that, she also told me about the inspection loopholes in the Gu Mansion, and that I could come in quietly through the back door. She promised me that once I get the things, I can get half of them!
I didn't want to do this at first, but my aunt said that those things originally belonged to her, and what I did was just to help her return the things to their original owners..."

Lu listened and felt heartbroken. She never expected that her mother-in-law would be so shameless!

I really underestimated her before!
Seeing that no one was paying attention to her, Xiulan felt extremely panicked.

"Cousin! Cousin, believe me, everything I say is true!"

She really didn't want to go to the government. If she really got to that point, her reputation would be ruined. Who would dare to marry a woman like her in the future?

Gu Shengying's face was ashen. After all, she was his cousin, and he couldn't bear to send her to the government.

"Steward Liu, search out all the things she stole and throw them out. From now on! Such a person will never step foot into my Gu Mansion!"

"Yes! Xiao Ding, please remember this!"

Butler Liu hurriedly stepped forward and waved behind him, and several people gathered everything together. There were dozens of items, large and small, clanking and clanging.

Xiulan only felt humiliated, but she also found this humiliation herself.

Seeing that everything was almost searched, several people dragged the person and threw him out of the house.

People passing by were talking about it, but Butler Liu didn't embarrass her too much or tell her what mistake she made.

At any rate, her face was saved.

Lin Qingwu rubbed his neck. He had been very tired these past few days, dealing with both big and small things.

Lu Ling held out his belly and showed a rare smile at this moment, but it looked very bitter.

She thought she would live a happy life after marrying the one she loved, but she never thought that there were so many worries that needed to be taken care of.
