Chapter 14: The Merchant Widowed After Her Husband Fakes His Death (4)

Yesterday, before she left the Li Mansion, she put all the valuable belongings of the Li family into her own space.

Those were purchased with the original owner’s money, so they can’t be given to the Li family for free.

In other words, except for a step-out bed as a dowry, a dressing table without any jewelry, and some clothes and bedding, everything that the original owner brought was put into the space.

Li House.

Li Liu sat at the round table where she ate, frowning at the porridge and pickles on the table, "What's going on? Normally I would drink a bowl of bird's nest soup when I get up early, why did it become porridge now?"

"Madam, Curry's bird's nest is gone, so..."

Mother Zhang, who was serving Li Liu, hesitated for a moment and reported.

"If it's gone, send someone to buy some? Do I need to teach you that?"

Li Liu frowned, "How can I eat such a bland and unnutritious breakfast?"

"Madam, I went to the accounting office this morning and found that all the money in the account was gone!"

Mother Zhang hesitated for a moment and said, "All the precious fabrics and cloths in our warehouse, as well as the gifts that Gu gave to you in the past, are gone!"

"What? Did Gu take it away?"

Li Liu's first reaction was that it was Gu Suyun who did it.

"No, I have the key to the warehouse with me all the time. The young lady left yesterday morning. She only came to your place before she left. She never went to the warehouse or the accounting office."

Mother Zhang shook her head and said.

"Could it be that the girl she brought with her, Dong'er, did it?"

"No, the doorman at the back door said that Dong'er left before the young lady left and didn't take anything with her."

Mother Zhang looked around and said, "Young Madam only brought a bag of clothes to Pudu Temple. It looked light and there was nothing else. And..."

"And what?"

"Moreover, when I went to the young lady's room this morning, I found that all the valuable dowry in her room was gone, even..."

Mother Zhang paused for a moment before she realized what was happening. "Oh, Madam, this is terrible! There's been a thief in our house! All the dowry in Madam's storeroom is missing!"

Bang!

"What did you say?!"

The teacup in Li Liu's hand fell to the ground with a clang. She stood up and asked anxiously, "What did you just say?"

"Madam, I heard that there was a thief in our house. All the valuables in the house, as well as the young lady's dowry, are gone!"

Seeing Li Liu's face full of disbelief, Mother Zhang mustered up the courage to say it again.

"Impossible! I don't believe it. Let's go and take a look! That Gu family had hundreds of loads of dowry, how could it disappear in an instant?"

Li Liu didn't care whether to have breakfast or not, and hurriedly got up and walked towards Gu Suyun's courtyard.

When I opened the room that was originally decorated elegantly and luxuriously, I found that there were only simple furniture and bedding left. All the antiques, calligraphy and paintings, porcelain, jewelry, etc. that were originally in the room had disappeared.

She then walked to the warehouse where the dowry was placed and found that the lock of the warehouse was intact and there were no signs of damage. However, from the window paper that was pulled out from the door, it could be seen that the inside was empty and there was nothing!

"What, what's going on?"

Li Liu's face was filled with disbelief. "Go and ask the doormen at the front and back doors if anyone has taken anything out since yesterday!"

"Madam, I've already asked, and no one has ever taken anything out!"

Mother Zhang said with a helpless look on her face and shook her head.

"Impossible, how could such a large amount of dowry disappear for no reason? Send someone to look for it! By the way, Gu Suyun, did she hide it before she left?"

Li Liu turned around and looked around the small courtyard. "Hurry up and find someone to dig deep to find the dowry she hid!"

"Yes!"

Not long after Mother Zhang went out, she brought a group of servants with hoes and started digging Gu Suyun's yard.

"Madam, do you want someone to go to Xishan to give the young lady a message?"

Mother Zhang hesitated for a moment and asked again.

"No need! Wait until she comes back! Look for her first, and then move all her dowry to my storeroom!"

Li Liu said fiercely.

"But, old lady, there is no sign of digging here!"

One of the servants said in a low voice.

"Then search the entire house thoroughly. I don't believe that the dowry can just run away on its own!"

Li Liu looked at the entire Li Mansion with anger on her face.

"Yes!"

"Grandma! Grandma!"

At this time, a girl's sweet voice came from outside the door.

"What's wrong? My Jiaojiao?"

Hearing the girl's voice, Li Liu's face instantly returned to a kind smile.

She turned and walked towards the door, "Jiaojiao, what's wrong?"

As soon as she reached the door, a beautiful girl in a red dress threw herself into her arms, "Grandma, Jiaojiao was bullied when she went out, you have to help Jiaojiao!"

There was three parts of grievance and three parts of tears in her voice.

Moment Lee

Liu's heart was in a knot.

Li Jiaojiao is the child of her eldest son, and born to her and her sister's niece!

Even though she was a girl, she doted on her the most compared to the other children!

First, she has the blood of the Liu family. Second, this child has the most outstanding appearance among all the children. If she can be married to a prince or enter the palace as a concubine in the future, the future of the Li family will have hope.

The men in her Li family no longer have to be bound by the ban on entering the court!

"Grandma, my mother and I just went to Jinxiufang to buy some summer clothes, but the shopkeeper actually kicked us out!"

Li Jiaojiao wiped her red eyes with tears in her eyes, "Grandma, isn't Jinxiufang our Li family's shop? You said at the beginning that Jiaojiao could make as many dresses as she wanted, but now they are bullying Jiaojiao like this, Grandma, you have to take charge of Jiaojiao!"

"Yes, aunt! Isn't Jinxiufang the dowry shop for my sister-in-law? How come when I went there today, even the shopkeeper was replaced by someone we don't know? When they heard that we were from the Li Mansion, they directly kicked us out!"

Standing behind Li Jiaojiao was her biological mother, the concubine of the eldest son of the Li family, and the niece of Li Liu.

"What? Didn't I replace the shopkeeper of Jinxiufang with someone I trust a long time ago? Why did he suddenly change the person?"

Li Liu frowned, "Let's go and take a look!"

Mother Zhang quickly called for a few servants to follow.

Half an hour later.

At the gate of Jinxiufang in Beijing.

Li Liu and seven or eight servants stood outside the door in a haughty manner. She gave Mother Zhang a look.

Mother Zhang understood immediately and put her hands on her waist, "Come out, you dog slaves! How can a dog you raise bite its owner? Come out now!"
