Chapter 343 Sneaking Around
Chapter 343 Sneaking Around
"What's wrong?" Duan Yu suddenly didn't quite understand what Old Madam Duan was thinking.
Old Madam Duan reached her hand out from under the covers and grasped Duan Yu's hand tightly.
At this moment, she held Duan Yu in one hand and Qin Shuyao in the other, saying, "Listen to me, you two, as soon as it's light, start a thorough search of the house."
Check if anything is missing.
Note that this must be done secretly, stealthily and furtively.
Duan Yu and Qin Shuyao seemed to realize the seriousness of the matter, and their expressions became serious for no reason.
They said in unison, "Okay."
Madam Duan narrowed her eyes slightly, staring at the ceiling, and said, "Also, pay attention, focus on searching the rooms where your uncle and Lou Yue used to live in our house."
The two hands that were clasped were withdrawn almost simultaneously, within seconds.
"Hehe." Duan Yu chuckled guiltily, "Well, who would dare risk their life to search my uncle's room?"
Qin Shuyao gave a similarly guilty smile, "Hehe, I wouldn't dare."
I'm scared of this job.
Although Duan Yaoren did not live in the old Duan family house and did not return often, no one dared to go to his room rashly, let alone search for things in his room.
In the darkness, Old Madam Duan rolled her eyes at the two of them.
But thinking about it, it's understandable. Duan Yao is kind and gentle to Song Beiyou, but to everyone else, including her own mother, he acts like everyone owes him money.
"Then let's act together."
To be honest, she was also worried about what her son would say about it.
It's best if the three of you act together; that way, if nothing happens, you can shirk responsibility.
Hey!
After daybreak, everything returned to normal.
The incident at the Duan family's old house last night was treated as if it had never happened, and everyone thought it was just a hallucination that Duan Yu had while drunk.
The Duan family was not robbed at all!
All the servants performed their duties in an orderly manner.
Madam Duan, along with Qin Shuyao and Duan Yu, began searching around like thieves.
Duan Yu was confused and asked, "No, Grandma, isn't this our house?"
You're still the head of this household, so why are you treating us like thieves?
Shouldn't we be the ones catching the thieves?
Qin Shuyao also felt something was wrong after Duan Yu said that, "I knew something was wrong."
Just as Qin Shuyao was about to straighten her back after saying this, she was pulled back down by Old Madam Duan.
The next second, all that could be heard was Madam Duan saying, "We must be careful, what if there are ears or eyes on the other side of the wall?"
Remember, the only person you can truly trust in this world is yourself.
Qin Shuyao and Duan Yu said in unison, "Then why did you bring the two of us along?"
As a result, each of them got a beating from Old Madam Duan, and she said, "Neither of you are human in my eyes."
Count as a pet.
It's not very harmful, but extremely insulting.
Alright, she obediently followed her grandma and maternal grandma to Lou Yue's room.
Although Lou Yue left, she was severed ties with Old Madam Duan.
But this room was where she had lived, and it was still well-maintained and kept by Madam Duan's people.
Apart from some important items that Lou Yue took away, the rest of the furnishings remained unchanged.
The three pushed open the door and entered. Duan Yu asked, "Grandma, what are we doing here?"
"You didn't hide the money in the room where Aunt Lou Yue used to live, did you?"
Seeing that there were only the three of them there, Madam Duan didn't hide anything, "No, I suspect that Lou Yue came here last night."
One sentence was enough to make Qin Shuyao cover her mouth first.
She's recently been enjoying reading suspense novels, and she connected the dots with what Old Madam Duan had asked her before going to bed last night.
In an instant, Qin Shuyao's mind became incredibly sharp, as if she had been possessed by Conan.
Holding her grandmother's hand tightly, she said, "You said you suspected Lou Yue had been here."
I suspect that the thief last night was Lou Yue.
Last night before you went to sleep, you asked me if I remembered the eyelashes of that woman from Gaoguo.
I said I remember, it was very perky and thick.
Of course, that's not the point. The point is that you've connected Gao Guo and Lou Yue.
In other words, you suspect that the thief last night was Lou Yue, and you also suspect that the thief was a woman from the Gao Kingdom.
I used the law of conservation of energy to make some calculations, which means you suspect that Lou Yue is the same person as the woman from the Gao Kingdom.
Lou Yue is a woman from the Gao Kingdom!
Suddenly, Madam Duan raised her hand, silently becoming excited, and hugged and kissed Qin Shuyao.
"Good baby, good baby."
You're way smarter than your mom, that pig-brain of a man.
You're like me! You're like me!
Qin Shuyao nodded, "I knew my little brain had finally clicked; I even figured out such a difficult question."
Duan Yu looked completely bewildered throughout, "..."
Can anyone tell him what's wrong?
He knew nothing, except that his grandmother and cousin had suddenly gone crazy and were having a blast.
However, after Qin Shuyao and his grandmother finished celebrating and explained the whole story, he understood everything.
Instead, she blamed her grandmother, saying, "No, why didn't you let me go with you last time for something so dangerous?"
Madam Duan sighed, "Actually, it's just a guess. So far, no one knows whether Lou Yue is the Gao Guo woman who had plastic surgery."
At this point, his expression became much more serious. "If that's the case, then it's a very serious matter!"
He gave the order, "Let's start taking a look and see if there are any signs of tampering."
"it is good."
Qin Shuyao and Duan Yu responded in unison.
In fact, neither of them knew that anything had been disturbed. They had never walked around in the two people's room before.
Soon, after confirming that there were no problems in Lou Yue's room, the three moved to Duan Yao's room.
Now, the three of them were somewhat uneasy.
"Let's finish this quickly." Old Madam Duan straightened her back.
Standing at the door of Duan Yao's room, she took a deep breath. Before even going in, she didn't know if it was because this was her own son's room or because of a woman's sixth sense, but she felt that the answer she was looking for must be inside.
The door was pushed open, and sunlight streamed in through the glass window.
The entire room was bright and airy, just like Duan Yao himself, filled with an aura of righteousness.
However, after the three of them searched and studied the room with great anxiety, they unanimously concluded that there was nothing missing or anything unusual in Duan Yao's room.
"No, Grandma, maybe the lost item isn't with Uncle."
He doesn't have anything valuable here. I guess I'll have to check other places.
For example, the storeroom on the third floor houses our family's antiques, which are extremely valuable.
Qin Shuyao agreed with this statement.
Madam Duan seemed somewhat disappointed, feeling that her family was surrounded by a powerful figure lurking in the shadows, ready to cause trouble.
If the big tiger isn't brought to justice, this family will likely face problems.
She looked around Duan Yao's room for several minutes, then said, "Sigh, let's go, let's go see other places."
Duan Yu and Qin Shuyao noticed that she was in a heavy mood. They exchanged a glance but said nothing, and followed behind her to leave.
Just then, as Madam Duan reached for the doorknob, she suddenly stopped.
