Chapter 123 The treasure was stolen!
"Butler, what happened?"
Sima Yue was now in a state of confusion. Why were there so many accidents happening in the palace? But he hadn't accomplished any good thing?
"Sir, Madam, please go over there quickly. The old lady is very angry!"
"Qingwan, shall we go and take a look now?"
"Ayue, you go first. I'll take care of the child first."
"Mom, I want to see grandma too..."
The little bastard was quite worried about the old woman, but Li Qingwan didn't give him the chance, "Run'er, don't get involved in the adults' affairs. Stay and study hard."
Runer: “…”
After Sima Yue left, Li Qingwan signaled to Ah Qing, "Ah Qing, Run'er is now in your care. Zi'er, let's go see how the old lady is doing?"
"Yes, ma'am!"
After Li Qingwan left, the birds in the tree kept chirping, which immediately aroused Run'er's interest. "There are so many birds!"
Seeing that the little bastard wanted to play, Ah Qing squatted down and patted Run'er's shoulder, "Young Master, do you want it?"
"But I'm scared of that height!"
"Then we won't study anymore. How about I help you to dig out the bird's nest?"
"I'm afraid of robbing a bird's nest because it's so high."
"Young Master is very skilled and won't fall. Ah Qing will take you there?"
Runer's eyes rolled around. He liked playing more than studying!
"But……"
"Don't be afraid, young master. As long as we don't tell anyone, we can continue studying after Madam comes back. No one will know that we played around for a while."
"Please don't tell me!"
"Hook!"
Here, Ah Qing took Run'er to rob bird nests, and across the wall, the sound of Hu'er reading aloud could be heard. Mr. Zhuang naturally also saw Ah Qing taking Run'er to rob bird nests, but it had nothing to do with him.
"Tiger, how do you pronounce this word?"
Hu'er is a child after all. When he heard Run'er's cheerful voice coming from outside, he was still very eager and accidentally lost his mind...
"Master, I..."
Hu'er scratched his head and forgot. The teacher quickly corrected him, "This word is pronounced as 'chun'. Hu'er, do you know what it means?"
"stupid……"
Hu'er blinked his big eyes, "Master, are you stupid?"
"Smart, but there's another meaning."
"What is that?"
Master Zhuang couldn't help but look up at the naughty Run'er outside. He didn't know why Madam Sima did this. She would ruin the child by doing this.
But this has nothing to do with him. The child is indeed difficult to teach.
"Stupid has another meaning..."
"for example……"
Master Zhuang looked at Run'er who was having fun, "Being smart can also be considered stupid!"
Dusk falls and the sun sets.
When Li Qingwan took Zi'er to the old woman's residence, she was neither anxious nor impatient. She didn't seem to be worried at all about what happened. She even took the time to feed her fish.
"Ma'am, are you going to feed the fish?"
"What's the hurry? Let them wait!"
Li Qingwan's fish are well raised, and they are all white and plump. For some reason, as soon as she came here, she thought of Mu Shenyin who was standing here that day. He asked her to go out last night, but she was too busy and did not go to the appointment. She wondered if he would be angry?
Zi'er: "..."
"Ma'am, do you know what happened?"
Seeing Zi'er's curiosity, Li Qingwan smiled and said, "Of course I know what happened. Besides, I arranged this matter."
Zi'er: "..."
"Ma'am, you are talking about..."
"Oh my lady, why are you still here? The old lady has been urging me!"
"coming."
When Li Qingwan arrived late, Sima Guling was already waiting outside, "Sister-in-law, why did you come just now? Auntie can't wait any longer."
"Ling'er, what happened? Why are you so anxious?"
"My aunt's treasure was stolen."
what?
These words made Li Qingwan frown, "How is it possible? Who dares to be so presumptuous in the mansion in broad daylight?"
"Sister-in-law, if you don't believe me, go ask my aunt, it's true!"
Sima Guling actually suspected that it was Li Qingwan who did it, but she had no evidence so she could only keep silent. Now she has learned her lesson and dares not to spread rumors rashly, for fear that her aunt and Brother Yue will become less and less trusting of her!
So, she has to endure it!
"Madam is here."
When Su Xiaoyue saw Li Qingwan coming, she sat down directly. "Qingwan, why did you come just now? Everyone is waiting for you. Sister, your wife is here. You should tell her what happened, right?"
Su Xiaoyue just went out for a walk, and when she came back she heard that something had happened. She insisted on calling them all together, but no one knew what had happened.
Now she just wanted the Sima family to give her the hundred taels of silver and leave as soon as possible, and she didn't want to stay any longer.
"Cough cough!"
The old woman was a little weak, and she didn't want to get up and make such a fuss, but her baby was missing, and she had to let her family know, and by the way, find out who did it!
"Mom, are you feeling better?"
Li Qingwan felt so happy when she saw the old woman's declining health. She just wanted to torture her slowly, watching her lose weight day by day and suffer unbearably...
"Mom is fine. She won't die. Qingwan, you've come just in time. Mom wants to tell you something."
"Mom, everyone is here, please tell me what happened?"
Sima Yue was also very worried about what happened, while the old woman glanced at everyone and then murmured, "I lost a very important book, which records the craft of rattan double weaving."
what?
When they heard this, everyone present was shocked. Isn't this a craft that has been lost long ago? Why is it in the hands of the old lady of the Sima family?
When Sima Yue heard this, he instantly understood something. How many treasures did his mother hide in her hands?
"Mom, how could something so important be lost?"
"It wasn't lost, it was stolen!"
"Mother, are you confused because of illness? I remember you said that the skill of double weaving of rattan has been lost a long time ago. How could it be in Sima's family?"
Old woman: “…”
She looked embarrassed. Yes, she had said that the treasure was not in the Sima family in order to hide it from Li Qingwan, an outsider. She thought she could keep it a secret from Li Qingwan forever, but she didn't expect it to be stolen. Moreover, she suspected that it might be Li Qingwan who did it, so she told her about it directly to see how she would react.
"Mom, please think about it again, did you remember it wrongly?"
Sima Yue also came to smooth things over for his mother. He naturally knew that his mother had never told the truth to Li Qingwan, and now that the treasure was lost, she had no choice but to reveal her true colors.
Li Qingwan found it ridiculous to see the mother and son acting like this. The reason why she stayed in Sima's house and didn't have a falling out with them was because of these precious treasures.
Otherwise, she would have made a scene long ago!
"Yes, that's what you said at the time. Why is this treasure available now, and why has it been stolen?"
