All the people in the Hou Mansion are evil, and they will be repaid tenfold after rebirth

Mrs. Gao's attitude was still very firm, and Lu Yundi did not want to stop her. She just waited for Jiang Jilian to come back and open the warehouse.

Madam Gao straightened her back, stared at Lu Yundi with her sharp eyes, and said firmly: "Madam Lu, I must get to the bottom of today's matter. Since Jiang Jilian is not here, there must be someone who can find the key to the warehouse, right? I ask you to open the warehouse now and let me check it myself."

Lu Yundi frowned slightly, a trace of embarrassment flashed across her face, but she soon regained her composure. She brushed her clothes gently and said slowly: "Mrs. Gao, I understand your feelings. However, the key to the warehouse has always been kept by Jiang Jilian himself, and I really don't have the authority to open it. If I force it open, I'm afraid it will cause unnecessary misunderstandings."

Upon hearing this, Madam Gao's face darkened and her eyes widened: "Madam Lu, are you stalling for time on purpose? Aren't you afraid that I will suspect that you and your wife are stealing from the company?"

Lu Yundi smiled lightly, with a hint of determination in her eyes: "Mrs. Gao, you misunderstood. I am not stalling for time, but I really do not have the authority to open the warehouse. However, I can accompany you to wait for Jiang Jilian to come back, and then let him open the warehouse himself, how about that?"

Madam Gao snorted coldly, with a hint of dissatisfaction in her eyes: "Okay, then wait for your husband to come back. However, I will wait here until this matter has a satisfactory solution."

Lu Yundi nodded slightly, with a hint of a smile on her face: "Don't worry, Madam Gao, I will get Jiang Jilian back as soon as possible. In the meantime, please take a rest."

While the two were talking, the maid brought tea. Lu Yundi personally poured a cup for Madam Gao, and then poured another cup for herself. She picked up the teacup, blew away the hot air from the cup, and said slowly: "Madam Gao, you know, Jiang Jilian has been very worried since the theft in the warehouse. He has been looking for clues, hoping to find the real culprit and seek justice for Sister Ye."

When Mrs. Gao heard this, a hint of tenderness flashed in her eyes, but she quickly regained her firmness: "I know, and I also believe that Jiang Jilian is not that kind of person. But this matter concerns my daughter's dowry, so I have to be careful. If the real murderer is not caught, my daughter's dowry will always be a mystery."

Lu Yundi sighed softly: "Yes, this matter is indeed a headache. However, I believe that Jiang Jilian will be able to find the real murderer and seek justice for Sister Ye. Madam Gao, you can rest assured."

Madam Gao took a sip of tea, her eyes showing a hint of helplessness, but she still said firmly: "Madam Lu, it's not that I don't trust you, it's just that this matter involves too much, I have to be cautious. My daughter's dowry is her lifelong support, how can I not feel distressed?"

Lu Yundi nodded gently, his expression becoming gentler: "I understand. If it were me, I would do the same. But we have to give Jiang Jilian a chance to prove his innocence. Besides, I believe the truth will eventually come out."

The two were silent for a moment, and the atmosphere was a little heavy.

The maids stepped aside tactfully to leave space for the two ladies. At this moment, Lu Yundi suddenly thought of an idea. She put down her teacup, and a gleam of light flashed in her eyes: "Madam Gao, how about this? Let's put aside the matter of the warehouse for the time being and discuss together how to find the real culprit. What do you think?"

Mrs. Gao was slightly stunned, and then a trace of approval flashed in her eyes: "Mrs. Lu, your words remind me. We should indeed find the real murderer first, and then solve the problem of the warehouse. So, do you have any clues or ideas?"

Lu Yundi smiled slightly and sorted out his thoughts: "First, we need to analyze the process of the theft in the warehouse. According to Sister Ye, she did not see anyone enter the warehouse on the night of the theft. So, the real culprit should be someone who is very familiar with the Marquis' Mansion, otherwise it would be impossible to enter the warehouse quietly."

Lu Yundi paused and continued, "Secondly, we need to consider who might have the motive to commit the crime. The biggest beneficiary of the theft in the warehouse is naturally the family member who does not need the dowry, or someone wants to frame the Jiang family and ruin their reputation. We need to investigate these two possibilities carefully."

Mrs. Gao nodded, a trace of seriousness flashed in her eyes: "You are right, we do need to start from these two aspects. So, what should we do next?"

Lu Yundi thought for a moment, then slowly said, "We can start investigating the servants in the mansion. After all, they are the ones who are most familiar with the environment of the mansion. I will ask the servants to compile a list of the people on duty that night, and check their whereabouts and motives one by one."

Mrs. Gao nodded slightly in agreement: "Okay, then we will act according to this plan. However, I still have a question. Where did Jiang Jilian go on the night the warehouse was robbed? Does he have any secrets that he has not told us?"

Lu Yundi's eyes flashed with a complicated expression when she heard this, but she quickly concealed her emotions and said softly: "Madam Gao, Jiang Jilian was indeed not in the mansion that night. However, I believe he must have his reasons. When he comes back, I will ask him in person and ask him to give a reasonable explanation."

Mrs. Gao sighed softly: "Okay, I will trust you again. However, if I find out that you are hiding anything, I will never let you go."

Lu Yundi smiled slightly, her eyes firm: "Mrs. Gao, please rest assured that we will do our best to find the real murderer. For Sister Ye and for the reputation of the Jiang family."

Lu Yundi held Jiang Zihan's hand tightly, then said with a smile: "Mrs. Gao, please forgive me for making fun of you. This child can't live without me."

Mrs. Gao looked at the intimate interaction between Lu Yundi and Jiang Zihan, a hint of envy flashed in her eyes, and then she smiled and said, "No, no, Mrs. Lu has such a deep relationship with her daughter, it's really enviable. Zihan is such a happy child."

Lu Yundi smiled gently and turned to Jiang Zihan: "Zihan, go ask the maid to take you out to play for a while. Mother has something to discuss with this lady, so she will accompany you later."

Jiang Zihan nodded sensibly and followed the maid out obediently. Lu Yundi watched her daughter leave, turned around and said to Madam Gao, "Madam Gao, where were we just talking about?"

Madam Gao came back to her senses and said, "We said we would start the investigation from the servants in the mansion. Madam Lu, how do you think we should proceed?"

Lu Yundi thought for a moment and said, "First, we need to check the people who were on duty that night one by one. I will have my servants compile a list, and then you and I will interrogate them together. In addition, we can also secretly observe the daily behavior of these people to see if there is anything unusual."

Madam Gao nodded in agreement: "Well, this is a good idea. However, I have another idea. Why don't we find a few more trustworthy servants to investigate together? This way we can share the work and avoid arousing other people's suspicion."

Lu Yundi smiled and said, "Mrs. Gao is really smart. Then we will do as you wish and start preparing immediately."
