Madam Zheng frowned and said, "The old lady's words don't work? Are you deliberately making things difficult for me?"

The two guards looked embarrassed, and one of them said, "Madam Zheng, please don't embarrass us. Why don't you go and ask Madam for permission? As long as you have a warrant, we will let you go immediately."

Nanny Yang's eyes turned and she couldn't help but say, "The things in this storeroom were left by the late Madam for the eldest girl, and the old Madam has already agreed, so why do we need to ask Madam for permission? Could it be that the old Madam's words are not as effective as Madam's?"

Madam Zheng's face darkened when she heard this, and she raised her voice and said, "Good, it's really good! I will report to the old lady right away and say that you ignored her orders."

The two guards hesitated. At this moment, a woman came out of the yard and asked, "What's the commotion?"

Madam Zheng snorted coldly, "Mrs. Liu, we are here on the orders of the old lady to take the late lady's belongings. Who would have thought that these two blind guards would have to get the lady's warrant before they could enter."

When Mrs. Liu heard this, she secretly thought to herself that something was wrong and blamed the two guards for being such bad boys.

Granny Liu smiled ingratiatingly and said, "Madame Zheng, Madame Yang, please don't be angry. I think these two guards are doing their duty. I will take you in right now."

Seeing this, the two guards did not dare to stop them anymore and quickly put down their swords to let Madam Zheng and Madam Yang in.

Granny Liu led Madam Zheng and Madam Yang and said as they walked: "There are so many precious items in this storehouse that it will take some effort to find something.

But I am in charge of the storeroom, so I know the approximate location of various items. I wonder what the two maids are looking for?"

Nanny Yang said, "It's the ruby ​​headdress that the late Madam loved to wear before she got married."

Upon hearing this, Mrs. Liu breathed a sigh of relief. Fortunately, it was a ruby ​​head ornament. If it was something else, it would be difficult to get. At that time, the lady and the second girl disliked the box of head ornaments because they were old, so they did not use them.

Madam Yang glanced at Granny Liu's expression and saw that she was obviously relieved. She couldn't help but sneer in her heart. This Granny might cry later.

Mrs. Liu came to the door of the warehouse, took out the key from her waist, unlocked it and pushed the door open, but the scene she saw made her face turn pale instantly and she stood there in a daze.

"This, this, this... How is it possible..."

Seeing that Old Lady Liu was standing still at the door, Madam Yang suppressed her smile and said with an impatient look, "Hey, what's wrong with you, old lady? Hurry up, the young lady is waiting for me!"

As she spoke, Madam Yang pushed Mrs. Liu aside and walked into the house.

"Oh my God! Why is there nothing here? Granny Liu, have you come to the wrong place?"

When Madam Zheng heard this, she felt something was wrong and walked in. When she saw that the room was empty, she immediately had a bad feeling.

She asked coldly, "Mrs. Liu, what's going on? Where is the dowry of the late Madam?"

Granny Liu collapsed on the ground, muttering in horror, "I don't know either. I checked it half a month ago and it was fine. How could it disappear? How could it be..."

Madam Zheng's face was gloomy, and she said sternly: "Mrs. Liu, this matter is very serious. If you can't explain it clearly, I'm afraid you will be in trouble!"

Nanny Yang echoed, "That's right, this is the dowry of the late Madam. Now it's gone. Can you bear the responsibility?"

Nanny Zheng looked at Nanny Yang's expression for a while. In fact, she felt that this matter was too much of a coincidence.

The eldest girl had never asked for a dowry before, but when she asked for it today, the dowry disappeared.

But seeing Nanny Yang's distressed look, Nanny Zheng thought that she might be overthinking and it might just be a coincidence.

Of course, Nanny Yang felt that Nanny Zheng was secretly looking at her, so she tried hard to act as if she was so heartbroken that she wanted to die.

At this time, Mrs. Liu was so scared that she was trembling all over and stammered, "Madame Zheng, Madame Yang, I really don't know. This storehouse has always been fine and has never had any problems."

"Old woman, I think you are like a dead pig that is not afraid of boiling water. You said you were in charge of this warehouse, but now everything in the warehouse has disappeared, and you said you didn't know.

I think you are simply stealing from the company. No, Madam Zheng, please help me stay here and I will go tell the master right away."

After saying this, Nanny Yang didn't give Nanny Zheng time to react and ran out of the house.

The two guards guarding the yard heard some noise in the house, but they didn't know what it was about.

Seeing Nanny Yang running out quickly, the two of them looked at each other and didn't try to stop her, as they were also afraid of being scolded if they tried to stop her.

Nanny Yang ran straight to Baisong Garden. This was where Su Yuanwang worked and where he spent most of his time.

As soon as Nanny Yang ran to the gate of Baisong Garden, she was stopped by two servants at the gate.

"Madam Yang, the master is handling important matters. You must not disturb him without his permission." said the servant.

Nanny Yang stamped her feet anxiously, "Young man, this matter is extremely urgent. It concerns the late wife's dowry. We can't delay it."

The two servants looked at each other. One of them hesitated for a moment, then said, "Then wait a moment, Madam Yang. I will go and inform them."

Madam Yang's face lit up with joy: "Thank you, two young men, for your leniency." As she spoke, she took out two pieces of silver from her purse and gave them to the two servants.

The serious expressions on the two servants' faces relaxed a little, and they did not refuse but accepted all the change.

After a while, the servant came out and said, "Madam Yang, the master wants you to come in."

Upon hearing this, Nanny Yang hurried into the house. When she saw Su Yuanwang, she knelt down without saying a word and said with tears in her eyes, "Master, it's bad. My wife's dowry is missing from the storeroom."

When Su Yuanwang heard this, he stood up suddenly and asked, "What? Why is he gone?"

Su Yuanwang naturally knew that this "my wife" was not referring to Zhou Ruoxue, but his original wife Li Yuyan.

The reason why the Su family has lived so comfortably for so many years is because of the dowry left by Li Yuyan. If the dowry is really gone, it will be a further blow to the Su family at this time.

Even if Zhou Ruoxue still holds the title deed to the manor, she has to find a way to sell it to make up for the loss.

Nanny Yang recounted what had happened in detail.

Su Yuanwang's face was terribly gloomy. "Let's go to the warehouse and take a look. By the way, don't tell Yue girl about this first, so as not to make her worry."

In her heart, Nanny Yang once again admired Su Yue's foresight, because Su Yue said that if Su Yuanwang knew about this, his first reaction would definitely be to hide it from her, and try to keep it secret for as long as possible.

Madam Yang hesitated and said, "Well... when I came here, I happened to meet Rendong who was getting breakfast, so I told Rendong about this. The eldest lady should know about it by now."

Su Yuanwang stared at Madam Yang for a few seconds, then sighed deeply, "Forget it, let's go. Someone, ask Madam to go to the dowry storehouse of the late Madam!"

Nanny Yang quickly stood up, and Su Yuanwang went to the warehouse with a few trusted men.

When he arrived at the warehouse and saw the empty room, Su Yuanwang felt his hands and feet go cold. He and Zhou Ruoxue had once estimated that the items in this warehouse were worth about 30 taels.

How come these items worth 30 yuan disappeared overnight?

Su Yuanwang shouted angrily: "Bring all the people in charge of this warehouse here to me."

When everyone heard Su Yuanwang call himself "officer", they knew that Su Yuanwang's anger had reached its peak. They were all trembling with fear and dared not say a word.

It was Nanny Yang who spoke up again: "Master, this old woman Liu is in charge of the storehouse, and these two guards are in charge of the garden. As for who else is in charge, I don't know."
