Rebirth on the wedding night, being doted on by the scumbag elder brother

A servant stepped forward tremblingly, "It was the Fourth Young Lady who led the way, and she led a group of people directly to the warehouse."

"What?"

"Dad, I had no choice. I was held hostage by them at the time and was scared to death. I never thought that this would happen." Ye Ziru cried and pretended to look pitiful.

"Silver, where's the silver?"

Ye Chongde suddenly reacted and asked in a cold voice. He remembered that the Su family had been raising the silver he urgently needed these days, and he must have raised it.

The accountant stepped forward and took out a few banknotes from his pocket. "Besides the money I used to pay off my debts, these are the remaining banknotes."

The accountant had a serious look on his face. The situation was urgent, and the master was still thinking about the money?

This was Su's dowry, Su's storehouse! It was ruined like this, but the master didn't say a word, and the first thing he cared about was the money!

He handed a few silver bills to Ye Chongde, who took them and touched the thin bills.

One ticket costs one thousand taels, and there are only three of them.

"Is that all?" Ye Chongde's hands and feet were cold. He would need a full ten thousand taels in the next two days, but now he only had this much. What should he do?

"That's all. Everything else was destroyed, and the lady's dowry is missing a lot for no apparent reason."

Ye Chongde stood there in a daze, unable to come back to his senses for a long time.

As long as he has money, his career will be greatly enhanced... His original future was bright, but what about now?

No, there must be a way out.

The Su family is extremely wealthy, and the Su family is smart and capable, so they must have hidden a lot of money.

Thinking of this, Ye Chongde turned around and wanted to run to Zijin Courtyard. He knew that Ye Yunzi understood his thoughts, and with his thick skin, he must want to ask for money. Humph, how could she let him bother the old lady again.

Ye Yunzi stood in front of Ye Chongde with a tragic look on her face.

"Dad, this... this is all the money I collected from selling my dowry! Mom has been so worried about this money that she is now sick and lying in bed. The doctor said she should have a good rest."

"If my mother knew that the warehouse had been robbed, she would definitely not be able to bear the blow. What if something unexpected happened..."

Ye Yunzi's eyes were red and tearful.

The servants sighed one after another. They were all aware of Su's condition. There had been a lot of things going on at home recently, and Su was exhausted. She drank bitter medicine all day to stay alive. The unpleasant smell of medicine could be smelled when approaching Zijin Courtyard.

"Madam, your life is so miserable... You were wrongly punished to kneel in the ancestral hall, caught a cold, and now your storehouse was robbed for no reason. So much silver is gone. If it were me, I would faint from anger!"

"Madam is already weak. If she knew about this, I don't know how big a blow it would be..."

The servants were whispering, and all the sounds went into Ye Chongde's ears. The more Ye Chongde listened, the more embarrassed he felt, and his feet froze.

"Dad, you must never let Mom know about this."

Ye Yunzi's words made Ye Chongde unable to move. "Mom needs to have a good rest. She can't stand it any longer. Sigh!"

"Miss, Miss!" At this time, Yu Shu hurried over, "Madam has started coughing again..."

Ye Yunzi's face darkened, and she said to everyone, "No one is allowed to tell anyone about what happened today, let alone spread it to Zijin Court. If the eldest lady finds out, you will all be punished!"

"Yu Shu, go get Doctor Li."

After saying that, she turned around and left with Yu Shu.

……

Ye Chongde stood there stupidly, holding the three pitifully thin silver bills in his hand, at a loss for what to do for a moment.

Originally, he married Su for money, but he didn't expect that after so many years, he was still a poor man with nothing in his pocket.

Right now Su was in a very sick state and her warehouse had been looted. If he bothered her again, it would be like pushing her into a dead end.

The servants looked at Ye Chongde with strange eyes.

"Master, you must not let the first lady know about this!" Butler Lin advised earnestly.

Ye Chongde remained silent.

The servants murmured in private, discussing in low voices: "This matter was caused by the Third Aunt and the Fourth Miss. The Third Aunt led the thieves to the Ye Mansion, and the Fourth Miss led them directly to the storehouse. It's like opening the door and saying, you can take the silver as you like... It's really outrageous."

"Is it a conspiracy? It's just to drain the little money of the Madam."

"Isn't Ye Guang the third aunt's biological brother? I felt something was wrong when I first came in. Now it seems...tsk tsk."

All these words entered Ye Chongde's ears. He was already extremely disappointed with the Third Aunt, and now he became even more suspicious.

When the Third Aunt saw that Ye Chongde's face was getting colder and colder, her heart skipped a beat and she knew something was wrong.

"No! Master, we definitely didn't collude with Ye Guang privately, how could I give him money! I definitely didn't do this, please investigate!"

The third concubine fell to her knees and cried out for justice.

"Yes, Dad, my daughter and I definitely did not collude with him! How could my daughter have the guts to collude with outsiders? This is all a misunderstanding..."

Ye Ziru also knelt down, hugged Third Aunt's arm, and cried bitterly, looking pitiful.

She didn't understand where Ye Guang got the courage to break into the Ye Mansion. Judging from his cowardly look, even if he had a hundred guts, he wouldn't dare to break in without permission!

"Enough!" At this time, Ye Chongde waved his sleeves coldly, "Do you think I'm blind?"

"Dad..." Ye Ziru trembled.

"Come here, take the Third Aunt and the Third Miss away and lock them up in the dark room! No one is allowed to serve them. Unless they repent, they are not allowed to be released!"

The third concubine's heart sank and her face turned pale. What kind of place is the dark room? It is a dark and damp confinement room where only servants who have made mistakes will be locked up. She, a concubine, is actually going to be locked up in such a place?

Ye Ziru's body swayed, and she couldn't believe her ears. A few days ago, she was her father's most beloved daughter, and her status was higher than Ye Yunzi's. She didn't expect to be punished so severely today.

It’s all Ye Guang’s fault!

If it weren't for him, they wouldn't have ended up like this.

Ye Ziru felt wronged. She had done nothing wrong. The fault was all on Ye Guang. Why should she be punished? She quickly crawled to Ye Chongde's feet, grabbed his clothes, and cried, "Dad, I am innocent. I was held hostage by those people. I was scared and my head is still dizzy..."

Ye Chongde had a blank expression, a stern face, and said nothing.

The nagging in his ears gave him a splitting headache. He was already irritated, and now looking at his usually well-behaved daughter, he felt even more heartbroken. That's right, he had never investigated the background of the Third Aunt. Now thinking back, the Third Aunt was always hesitant and unwilling to talk about the past, and he didn't care. I didn't expect to cause such a big mess, bringing shame to the doorstep!

"Dad, my daughter is innocent..."

Ye Ziru kept begging, her eyes red and she looked pitiful.
