The Regent's Tender Darling

"well!"

Mrs. Liu couldn't help sighing, and she felt sad again. She didn't want to hide it from Lin Jiaojiao, so she said, "I came to check the accounts yesterday. No matter how I calculated it, there was a shortage of one thousand three hundred taels of silver in the warehouse."

"Oh?" Lin Jiaojiao's eyes darkened slightly, and after thinking for a moment she said, "Could it be that someone stole it?"

Mrs. Liu shook her head. She was not sure, but now that the money was missing, there must be a reason, and she wanted to find out the reason.

"I have interrogated everyone in the warehouse one by one, and there are no problems. It is the old lady's birthday now, and I was afraid of alarming her, so I did not investigate the matter in the mansion."

Lin Jiaojiao nodded slightly.

This thousand taels of silver was nothing to the Chen family, but it alarmed my grandmother, and she was afraid that she would be angry.

Grandma is a generous person, but she hates theft the most in her life. If grandma knew about this, she would definitely be furious.

So she also understood her second aunt's considerations.

Staring at the abacus on the table, Lin Jiaojiao analyzed: "This thief dared to steal in Chen's house. I guess he is not a little thief. He must be very courageous."

After hearing this, Mr. Liu nodded in agreement and said thoughtfully: "Yes."

Then he said in a deep voice: "I have arranged for people to guard him secretly. If this thief comes again, he will definitely be caught!"

"Um."

Lin Jiaojiao agreed very much with Liu's approach. Don't scare the snake first and wait for the thief to come again.

"Jiaojiao, I really need help here. We don't have enough gold paper in the house. Why don't you buy it from outside?" Mrs. Liu patted Lin Jiaojiao's hand with a smile.

Then he said: I just asked Luoer to take you out for a walk. You have been staying in the house these days, don't you feel bored? "

From the bottom of her heart, Mrs. Liu didn't want Lin Jiaojiao to help. Not only was she afraid of offending the regent, she was even more afraid of tiring the child.

Although she is married and stable, the child has been weak since she was a child. If she gets sick from exhaustion, the old lady will not be able to spare her.

Besides, Jiaojiao had been raised by her aunts one after another. She had been a people pleaser since she was a child. If she was really sick, she would also feel bad for her.

"Aunt, I'm not a child anymore." Lin Jiaojiao knew what her second aunt meant. When she was a child, everyone just let her do it, and they wouldn't let her do anything for fear of getting tired.

But she's actually not that delicate.

Mrs. Liu patted the back of her hand and said warmly: "Auntie knows that if you go to help Auntie stay with Luo'er, you are also helping Auntie share her worries."

Mentioning Chen Luo, Mrs. Liu sighed faintly. Needless to say, Lin Jiaojiao guessed that it must be because her second uncle wanted to marry Luo Luo to the Zhu family.

When they had dinner together yesterday, she saw Luo Luo forcing a smile on his face, but in fact he was completely absent-minded.

"My child, my aunt knows that you have a solution. I don't have to think about it. I know that the legitimate daughter of the Zhang family fell into the water. My aunt wants to ask you to help Luo'er. If she really marries into the Zhu family..."

Mrs. Liu stopped talking about the next words. She didn't dare to think about it, let alone say it.

With Qing'er's lessons learned, she no longer dares to marry off her daughter easily. As a mother, she already owes her eldest daughter too much.

However, she can't actually make the decision inside or outside this family.

"Second aunt, this family doesn't speak the same language." Lin Jiaojiao knew that this second aunt was a smart person and knew everything in her heart.

The second aunt has a reserved temperament, but she is not a person who does not fight back when bullied. However, as the daughter-in-law of the Chen family, she has many worries in taking care of the affairs of the Chen family.

After all, if the Chen family were to leave the second aunt now, they would probably be in chaos, so the second aunt was more cautious in doing things.
