"Come in, there will be no one here!"

After hearing this, Shen Congxin immediately crawled into the secret cave, looking at the familiar flowers and plants in the Shen residence, Shen Congxin suddenly felt a little sad.

She wiped her eyes fiercely. She knew that this would be a sad time, and she had to race against time to find the piece of paper that could repay her innocence.

"Here, I'll take you away!" Shen Congxin said to Jiang Yaojie.

Shen Congxin took Jiang Yaojie to his stepmother's room with ease, when a maid suddenly appeared, startling Shen Congxin and Jiang Yaojie.

Shen Congxin quickly dragged Jiang Yaojie to hide behind the rockery.

"Hey, Miss Shen doesn't know where she went, Ruoyun, do you think this matter has something to do with Mo Xue?" The maid sweeping the floor gossiped.

"I don't think it's possible. Mo Xue has been with Ms. Shen since she was a child. Even if Ms. Shen has a bite to eat, she will share it with Mo Xue. I don't think it is possible for Mo Xue to do such a wicked thing!" Another maid replied.

"That's not necessarily true. You see, Miss Shen has just disappeared for a few days, and Mo Xue has become the first-class big girl in Mrs. Shen's room..."

"If you finish sweeping the floor, then do other things. Don't you think you'll lose your tongue when you gossip about others behind your back? Or should I tell Mrs. Shen to send you to the woodshed? Or drive you out?" The sharp female voice broke the gossip of the two maids just now. .

The maids looked back and saw Mo Xue standing not far from them with her waist pinched and domineering. It was obvious that Mo Xue seemed to have heard their conversation.

"Mo... Sister Mo Xue, I'm sorry!" The two maids quickly apologized to Mo Xue, and trotted away.

Their conversation was heard clearly by Shen Congxin. At the beginning, Shen Congxin was fine, but now he heard other maids talking about Mo Xue, and she almost couldn't control her tears. She patted her chest, Try to adjust yourself to a good state.

She raised her eyes and took a peek at Jiang Yaojie. Fortunately, Jiang Yaojie was hiding behind the rockery to observe the surrounding situation and didn't pay attention to himself.

Shen Congxin took a deep breath, patted Jiang Yaojie, pointed to the left and whispered, "This is my stepmother's room, and all the receipts should be placed here!"

Jiang Yaojie nodded, and led Shen Congxin to walk in that direction.

Only a short ten meters away, Jiang Yaojie and Shen Congxin walked extra cautiously, especially Jiang Yaojie was almost in a state of watching all directions and listening to all directions.

Walking to the door, Jiang Yaojie only felt a little tired. He secretly poked a hole in the window with his fingers and looked inside, but there was no one there.

Jiang Yaojie breathed a sigh of relief and nodded to Shen Congxin. Shen Congxin gently pushed open a door with his hand, and the two figures entered one after the other.

"I'll look over there, you're here!" Shen Congxin said in a low voice.

Jiang Yaojie nodded, and stood at the door by himself, his eyes fixed on the situation outside the door, but he still looked towards Shen Congxin from time to time.

"Did you find it?" This was Jiang Yaojie's first time "being a thief". He was sweating, his heart was beating wildly, and his legs were shaking slightly.

"It's coming soon, don't rush!" Shen Congxin responded.

"Huh? Why did the lady's door open?" Suddenly a voice came to Jiang Yaojie's ears.

Jiang Yaojie's expression changed suddenly, and he yelled that he was not good. He quickly closed the door, and his eyes began to scan everything in the room.Jiang Yaojie's eyes fell on the round stool not far away.

He strode towards the round stool, and then pushed the round stool against the door with one hand.

"Hey, why can't you push it? Oops! Someone! There's a thief in the house!" The maid's reaction was still quick, and she quickly started calling for someone after she found that the door of the wife's room couldn't be pushed.

Jiang Yaojie and Shen Congxin were startled when they heard the voice. Fortunately, Shen Congxin had already found out the paper with the list of Wang Xiu's betrothal gifts from the box.

She shoved the piece of paper into her bosom indiscriminately, opened the window not far away and whispered to Jiang Yaojie: "Jump!"

Jiang Yaojie nodded and turned out of the window, followed by Shen Congxin.

The moment the two of them just opened the window, several servants with wooden sticks pushed open the door of the house heavily.

Their gazes instantly fell on the window that was still shaking slightly, and after exchanging glances, they immediately ran out the door.

Shen Congxin led Jiang Yaojie to the gate with many twists and turns. Fortunately, there was no one at the gate. Shen Congxin and Jiang Yaojie pushed open the gate together and ran towards the outside.

The servant behind him yelled and warned the two of them not to run away.

"Hey, Jiang Yaojie? Who is this?" A figure stopped the panting Jiang Yaojie and Shen Congxin.

Jiang Yaojie was so terrified that he almost knelt on the ground, but when he looked up and saw that the person who came was Zhao Qianyu, his original hanging heart was immediately relieved.

Jiang Yaojie wanted to explain, but he glanced at the servant who was getting closer and said to Zhao Qianyu, "Help me stop them! Go back to Pingxi County and I'll treat you to Malatang!"

Before Zhao Qianyu could react, Jiang Yaojie took Shen Congxin and ran away without a trace.

While Zhao Qianyu was still in a daze, the servants who were chasing Jiang Yaojie and Shen Congxin had already run over. Although Zhao Qianyu hadn't figured out what was going on, he still remembered Jiang Yaojie's instructions just now.

He stretched out his hand to stop the servant who was running at the front and asked, "Why are you chasing them?"

The leader of the servants was very angry when he was suddenly stopped, he stared at Zhao Qianyu and scolded: "Where did you come from, you little bastard, hurry up, don't delay your grandpa and me from doing serious things!"

Zhao Qianyu is the dignified son of Zhao County Magistrate, who has never been insulted like this, even Jiang Ling has never scolded him so badly.

His anger suddenly burned, and he shouted loudly: "My father is Zhao Tianqi, the magistrate of Guangping County. If you dare to insult me, aren't you afraid that my father will punish you for offending you?"

When Jia Ding heard what Zhao Qianyu said, his original arrogance disappeared without a trace. They all knew that people do not fight with officials. Although the Shen family is rich, they are still businessmen after all.

In front of him is the son of the county magistrate, even if they lend them a hundred courage, they will not dare to offend.

"Young Master Zhao, I hope you will forgive me for being blind, but please let me know that I have something to do with you now!" The servant's tone and attitude changed drastically.

"Oh? What's the matter? Do you need our government? After all, my father is the local county magistrate!" Zhao Qianyu deliberately used words to delay the servant.

"This...Mr. Zhao, I really have something to do here. I have offended you! Then I will go to the Yamen to apologize in person!" The servant looked at Jiang Yaojie and Shen Cong who had already disappeared and was sweating impatiently, but he didn't dare. Offended Zhao Qianyu in front of him.

In the end, he could only say good things, and before Zhao Qianyu could react, he continued to chase Jiang Yaojie and Shen Congxin.

"Uncle Lu! Come on! Let's go!" Jiang Yaojie and Shen Congxin jumped into Uncle Lu's car panting and said to Uncle Lu.
