Quickly wear and change the fate of the little cannon fodder

Chapter 452: The Little Cannon Fodder in Ancient House Fighting Novels 8

The old lady looked at them carefully. Seeing that they didn't seem to be lying, she was also surprised! Something was lost in the inner courtyard of the mansion, and the number was quite large! The inner house was not like the outer courtyard, and there were no guests coming. This was obviously a thief inside!

"Then do you know when he disappeared?" The old lady also became serious. Theft would not be tolerated.

"We just discovered it was missing this morning. As for the exact time it was lost, we don't know..." They really didn't know when the thing disappeared, but it seemed to be there during the Mid-Autumn Festival, so she didn't pay much attention to it.

"Then do you know if there has been any abnormality around you recently?" The old lady was also a little troubled. She thought her niece was smart, but it turned out that she was smart on the outside but stupid on the inside!

She lives in the yard every day and didn't know when things were lost, and some of the lost items were large items. Could it be that she didn't notice it at all?

But not long after, she was slapped in the face.

The two thought about it carefully and shook their heads.

"Madam, aunt, what do you think I should do? We need to find that damn thief as soon as possible, and get those things back as soon as possible! Wuuuu, this damn thief! Ningning is about to get married, and Hongyuan is grown up too. He will need these things whether he is getting married or getting married." Aunt Zhuang felt more and more sad the more she thought about it.

"Alright, alright, alright, stop crying! You're giving me a headache from all the noise. Go wash your faces first! When the marquis's wife comes, ask her to check it out carefully." The old lady rubbed her forehead.

Not long after, the marquis's wife came with her children to pay their respects to the old lady. The old lady told her about this and asked her to check it out!

The Marquis's wife didn't want to get involved at all, after all, the concubines' courtyards were managed by themselves. If something was lost, why didn't she look for clues from the people around her? Why did she have to check?

However, the old lady claimed that she was the mistress of the mansion and that the concubines and the inner courtyard were under her control, and that she had to be found if anything happened, so she was given full authority to investigate the thief.

The Marquis' wife had no choice but to take people to their yard and ask them what they had lost. What exactly was it? How much was it worth? When was it lost? When was it found? Who were the suspects? ...

After Aunt Zhuang stammered about some valuable things, the marquis's wife looked at her strangely.

She was not stupid, and some things were obviously not something a concubine like her could possess. Moreover, the Marquis's wife was also very clear about her origins. What kind of money could a poor person who came to the Marquis's mansion have?

There was only one place where all these things of hers came from, and that was... the dowry of the marquis's original wife!

A concubine can reach into the wife's dowry, it's really unruly. The old lady and the marquis turned a blind eye, it's really shameful! She didn't believe that the two didn't know, without their connivance, how could Aunt Zhuang, a concubine, be so bold.

But even if she despised them, she would not interfere! She didn't like either the original wife of the merchant or Cui Xiaoxiao, the original wife's legitimate daughter.

She even thought that if one of them died early, the other would have a hard life. Now even the dowry was divided up. The person she hated deserved such a consequence!

But she silently decided to add a few more locks to her dowry! No matter who is in the Marquis's Mansion, don't even think about touching her dowry. Her things can only be left to her children.

I thought about a lot of random things!

The proper work needed to be done, and the servants who served them were questioned, but no clues were found after all the questioning.

But based on the empty little warehouse, it was initially determined that this could only be done with the help of both inside and outside forces! Moreover, it was not something that could be done by just one or two people to transport so many things out of the inner house.

The old lady was also a little troubled. The theft had happened, and she also knew that Cui Ningning was getting married, and she, as a grandmother, would have to give some dowry.

But the things in her private storehouse were all fine products that had been passed down through generations of the Marquisate! And the things she had carefully collected over the years were all very expensive, and she couldn't bear to part with any of them.

No matter how difficult the Marquis's Mansion was, she was not willing to sell things for money. There were some things that even her son didn't know about!

She began to think about what to give her granddaughter as a dowry! Once again, she secretly hated the mother and daughter for not being able to protect their own things! Did she not know when the thieves moved her away or took advantage of her?

When she thought about the fact that she was going to lose another sum of money, she was so angry that she lost her appetite for breakfast!

The old lady sent away all the people who served her, then took the key from her neck and carefully opened the door of her private vault.

Every time she was in a bad mood, she would feel much better just by seeing these things.

But today...

At first glance, the warehouse seemed eerily empty!

The old lady closed her eyes and opened them again, but the huge warehouse was still empty.

A wave of dizziness came over her and she could hardly stand. She could only reach out to hold on to the door frame, trying to calm herself down and close her eyes to collect herself.

When the dizziness subsided and her body finally calmed down, she opened her eyes again and found that her eyes were not blurry and she was not mistaken, so she could not bear it any longer.

"No..., Pu...!" She screamed, and a mouthful of blood spurted out. Everything in front of her eyes went dark, and she fell straight down!

The nannies, maids and old women who were guarding outside entered the room immediately after hearing the screams, and saw the old lady lying on the ground, pale and unconscious, with a trace of undried blood on her lips and a pool of blood beside her.

"Madam, madam, wake up! Quickly, quickly, lift the old lady to the bed first, go get the doctor, and notify the marquis's wife! Remember to be quick." The old lady's personal nanny was in a panic for a while, but quickly calmed down and arranged things.

Then she looked up at the empty storeroom, and she understood why the old lady was like that! How much did the old lady value those things? How could they, the personal servants, not know?

The old lady never asked anyone else to help her with the tidying, cleaning and maintenance of those things. She did it all by herself. I often heard her say that she could only sleep peacefully if these things were under her eyes!

Now that all these things are lost, the Marquis’ Mansion will probably have no peace in the future!

After that, several people hurriedly carried the old lady to the bed. Not long after, many people hurriedly came to the door. Madam Hou, Aunt Zhuang, and Cui Ningning were the first to lift the door curtain and enter.

At a glance, he saw the unconscious old lady lying on the bed in the bedroom.

"What's wrong with the old lady? She was fine just now, how come she suddenly became like this? How did you take care of the old lady? Did you call a doctor?" The marquis's wife reached out to feel the old lady's breath, and was relieved to see that she was still breathing.

"Someone has been sent to invite the court physician. Madam Marquis, should we inform the Lord Marquis of this situation?" The nanny also asked Madam Marquis!

"Send someone to inform the Marquis!" If the old lady has any problems, her own son will need to make the decision, so that she won't have to take responsibility.

The nanny nodded and left!

Soon, the court doctor came in hurriedly, panting and carrying a medicine box. He felt the old lady's pulse for a while, and her frown relaxed a little. After a while, he loosened his hand and started talking before the lady asked any questions.

"The old lady's mood swings are quite large. She is furious and has been greatly stimulated. Fortunately, the old lady is in good health, so the problem is not serious!

Everything will be fine once you wake up. I will prescribe a prescription for you later. Just take the medicine and have a good rest for a few days.

But the old lady is old after all, so she should be less stimulated! She can get through it safely this time, but if it happens a few more times, even young people will not be able to bear it. "

"But the old lady vomited blood just now! Is this really okay?" Nanny said with some doubt!

"It's better to spit out this blood! If you keep something in your heart and become depressed, it will be bad." The doctor was not angry. He glanced at her and said.

After hearing what he said, everyone felt relieved. If the old lady really died, it would affect the marriage of her grandchildren and would also make the Marquis stay at home in mourning for several years!

"How long will it take for the old lady to wake up? Are there any dietary restrictions when taking the medicine?" The nanny felt relieved!

"The old lady will wake up in an hour. Avoid spicy food during this period and eat light food." The court physician left a prescription and taught the maid how to decoct the medicine before leaving!

If Cui Xiaoxiao were here, she would definitely say, good people don't live long, but evil people live for thousands of years!

The Marquis's wife then had time to ask the nanny what had happened to the old lady to make her like this?

Mammy looked at everyone. She knew that such a big thing could not be concealed! She then told the Marquis's wife.

"Ma'am, please excuse me for a moment!"

The marquis's wife had no choice but to follow the nanny into the inner room. The nanny took her directly to the old lady's storeroom and let her see what was inside.

“This…this…how could this be? How could this be?!” The Marquis’s wife was surprised!

She immediately understood why the old lady was like this. All her life's hard work was gone, no wonder she was so angry that she fell into a coma. She had been married for more than ten years, and she knew what kind of person the old lady was.

She was a person who valued money very much. If she lost those things, wouldn't it be the end of her life? Her things must have been stolen just like Aunt Zhuang's things!

Then she felt a little overwhelmed. She hadn't figured out what was going on with her aunt yet, and here something even bigger happened. And it happened in the inner house. If she looked into it carefully, it had a lot to do with her poor management as the mistress of the Marquis's mansion.

She couldn't even imagine how sad and upset the old lady would be when she woke up.

"Let's wait for the Marquis to come back. When he comes back, I will discuss with him whether or not to report this matter to the police!" The Marquis's wife felt that the matter was a bit serious and she couldn't handle it alone!

"Report to the police?" The nanny was surprised!

The old lady values three things the most: the treasures in her storehouse, the honor of the mansion, and the safety of the Marquis! Although she usually values Aunt Zhuang and her son, they are still expendable for the honor of the mansion!

If I report it to the police now, I don’t know whether the old lady will agree!

"Yes, the Marquis' Mansion was robbed! Only by handing it over to professionals to investigate, can we recover the stolen items." The Marquis's wife answered without thinking.

During the waiting time, the Marquis also asked some questions to the servants around the old lady. These questions had just been asked in Aunt Zhuang's courtyard, but the results were the same, no clues, not even a suspect!

Not long after, Lord Cui Mingen came back in a hurry. After entering the mansion, he ran all the way to the courtyard of the Marquis' wife.

"Mother, mother, my son is back. What happened to you? Please don't scare my son." Cui Ming'en ran to Madam Hou's bed, grabbed her hand, and said while crying.

"Well, Marquis, the old lady is fine..." Before the Marquis's wife could finish her words, she was interrupted by the Marquis in a harsh voice.

"My mother has vomited blood and is unconscious. If you say this is not serious, then what is serious? I work hard every day to attend court and leave all the household affairs to you. This is how you take care of my mother.

And how do you maids serve the old lady! Where is the doctor? You just watch and don’t know how to ask the doctor to take a look? If anything happens to the old lady, I will not forgive you!" Cui Mingen said angrily.

God knows how anxious he was when he heard the servant in the mansion report that the old lady had vomited blood and fell to the ground, unconscious! He rushed back without even asking for leave from his boss.

On the way back, he had thought about the old lady's worst case scenario several times, and he was afraid and worried!

Now everyone else has returned, and the doctor is nowhere to be seen. This shows how inattentive and incompetent these people are in serving the patient.

"My lord, the doctor has just examined her. The old lady vomited blood and fainted because of anger. As long as she wakes up and is taken good care of, she will be fine." The marquis's wife did not indulge the marquis in going crazy, and she explained the matter clearly in just two sentences.

"I...! Angry... angry? Why is mother so angry? Who made mother angry?" Cui Mingen realized that she was anxious and misunderstood them when she heard this.

He felt a little embarrassed, but after hearing what his wife said, he thought he could curse a few more times to vent his anger and ease the fear in his heart.

At this time, the old lady's eyes slowly opened, and everyone was happy to see this!

"Mother, mother, you're awake. You scared me to death! What happened to you? Tell me, your son, who made you angry? Your son will help you vent your anger. No matter who it is, you can beat or scold them, but don't get angry yourself." The Marquis sniffed, his voice still filled with tears!

"My son! It's gone, all gone! All the assets of the Marquis' Mansion are gone! All my pocket money is gone too, what should we do in the future?" The old lady was stunned for a moment when she saw her son, and then she thought of what she saw before she fell into a coma, and she began to burst into tears.
