The old lady said unhappily: "I need to rest now."

Fang Shiwan tilted her head to the side, "No, Grandma, how can you rest? We caught the thief."

"what?"

Aunt Lin and the old lady said in unison.

"Grandma, something was stolen from my house. After an inspection by my servants, I caught the thief. I would like you to be a witness."

"Who is this thief? Tell me quickly."

The old lady pushed Aunt Lin away, thinking only of her own private money which she had hidden for half her life.

Fang Shiwan blinked and said, "Grandma will know in a moment."

Afterwards, the old lady continued to sit under the arrangement of Fang Shiwan and Zhou.

"Go and call all the concubines in the mansion."

Seeing Fang Shiwan making such a big fuss, the old lady guessed in her heart that it seemed that the thief had succeeded this time.

"Yes, ma'am."

Soon, the dense crowd filled the entire lobby, and even the air became a little heavy.

The old lady frowned. After taking such a look, she realized that there were so many concubines in the mansion, so many that she couldn't name many of them.

"I asked all the ladies to come here because I have something to tell you."

After hearing this, the aunts whispered to each other.

Fang Shiwan interrupted: "The aunts have also heard that there have been incidents one after another in our house these days. Just today, my yard was robbed again."

"Stolen again?" The aunts were shocked.

The truth is, they have been really scared recently. There have been thieves one after another, and they come and go without a trace. He even stole the master's underpants. It's obvious that he is a pervert.

They are all girls, and even though they are concubines, they are still the only men to the master.

I couldn't help but feel nervous.

Only Ziyun and the others showed no change in expression.

"My maid said that the thieves who broke into my yard had already planned their attack three days ago. Wasn't three days ago the day after my father's study was robbed?"

"Miss, what did the thief steal from you?"

Fang Shiwan smiled slightly, "Madam Liu, I can't say more about this. I'll let the thief admit it himself later."

Seeing the confident eldest lady, the concubines were also waiting to see the result, giving them a glimmer of hope for the things they had lost.

"Auntie Hua, why isn't my third sister here?"

"Miss, Ya'er said she felt a little unwell today, so she is resting in her room."

Fang Shiwan nodded, then looked outside the door and said gently, "Third sister, come in. It's tiring to stand at the door."

After hearing this, Aunt Hua turned around in shock and saw her daughter standing at the door.

She didn't know why she always felt uneasy.

"Miss."

Fang Zhiya walked in.

"Third sister, are you feeling better?"

"Thank you for your concern, I feel better now."

Aunt Hua looked at her daughter, whose mouth was full of white foam, and frowned, "Ya'er, what's wrong with your mouth?"

After hearing this, Fang Zhiya shook her body a few times, then hurriedly took out a handkerchief and wiped the corners of her mouth.

"It's nothing, mother. I was feeling unwell just now. I ate some pastries and maybe I felt a little dizzy, so I forgot to wipe my mouth. I feel much better now."

"You kid..." Aunt Hua said with a smile.

"Okay, everyone, do you know what I lost today?"

"Didn't the eldest lady say that the thief would admit it himself?" Aunt Liu was puzzled. She wanted to know just now, but the eldest lady said wait until the thief is hot and then you can tell. Now she is asking them back.

The old lady was also a little impatient. Seeing her eldest granddaughter showing so much concern, she secretly mocked her for showing off just because she learned a few words from the teacher.

I couldn't help but turn around with a look of disdain.

"Third sister, what do you think?" Fang Shiwan pretended not to see it, moistened his throat and turned to ask Fang Zhiya.

"Ah?" Fang Zhiya was stunned for a long time after being asked by Fang Shiwan, and then she remembered what Fang Shiwan had just said.

"Sister, your maid came to my yard and said that there is good news in the mansion. What is the good news?"

Fang Shiwan smiled sweetly and said slowly, "Third sister, are your snacks delicious?"

Fang Zhiya smiled guiltily, "It's delicious."

"Today, I made some snacks in my small kitchen. I wanted to ask the maid to take some and eat with my mother, but I didn't expect that the snacks in the small kitchen were stolen."

When everyone heard this, they were surprised and stunned.

"Miss, you called us out just to hear you say that the snacks were lost?" Aunt Liu was speechless.

The other concubines were also whispering.

The angriest person was the old lady, who didn't want to see Fang Shiwan in the first place. Because Fang Shiwan said the thief was caught, she was expecting to get her banknote back. Now she was making a fuss over such a small matter as snacks.

"This is no small matter, Aunt Liu. This thief stole a piece of my dessert today, he may steal my jewelry tomorrow, and he may steal my clothes the day after tomorrow. It is only a matter of time before the banknotes are stolen. To exaggerate a little, he may even steal my entire body."

"How is that possible!" Fang Zhiya retorted after hearing this: "Sister, that person just took a piece of your snack, how could it be considered as stealing someone else?"

"Third sister, what do you mean by 'took'? The thief bribed my kitchen maid and stole it quietly. I didn't want to mobilize a large force, but I thought that having such a dirty person in the mansion would be a disaster. Fortunately, my grandmother is here today, so I, as the eldest daughter of the main house, will make this matter a reality."

Then, Fang Shiwan stood up and looked at the people present.

"Third sister, you are the last one to arrive today. Although you are not feeling well and are eating snacks at home, your home was robbed a few days ago. Where did you get the cakes?"

"Yes, where did the Third Miss get the pastries?" the concubines asked.

Everyone is curious.

"It's hard for us to even have some porridge on weekdays, but now this Third Miss is even eating cakes."

The old lady was naturally dissatisfied. She and everyone else in the mansion now only had plain porridge and cabbage, and there were only two pieces of vegetables. How could this concubine's daughter actually have snacks?

"Ya'er, where did you get the snacks?"

"Yeah, Third Sister, where did you get the snacks?"

Fang Zhirou was also puzzled. She and her mother had been able to eat a little better only two days ago at the shop with the money they earned, but that was only valid before yesterday.

Suddenly, she thought, could it be that the elder sister's snack...

After seeing everyone's reactions, Fang Shiwan smiled slyly.

"My mother and I were able to eat snacks because our grandfather and uncle gave us money. But under such circumstances, my third sister was able to eat them. This makes me doubt that you stole the snacks in my yard."

"I, I didn't."

Fang Zhiya denied it and didn't dare to look at Fang Shiwan, her eyes were wandering.

"Third sister, how do you prove that you didn't have it?"

"My maid can prove it."

"Hahaha, can a maid prove it? If this maid can't even protect her master, then she can be sold out directly."
