Money doesn't go very far. I thought that with such a large family business, these small expenses wouldn't matter much, and I didn't pay much attention. I figured if we ran out of money, the shop would send money next month. Who would have thought it would turn out like this!

"As for jewelry, I... I don't know... Since the maids ran away, no one has been combing my hair. It's cold and I don't go out, so I haven't used any jewelry. I don't know how to comb my hair either, so I just wrap it with a silk scarf. I didn't think of it."

Despite the pain in her scalp, Gao Pan'er spoke with a pained expression.

"It's Qingyan! I remember now, on the afternoon the maids ran away, Qingyan was lingering around my dressing table. It must have been her who stole it when I wasn't looking!"

Gao Pan'er was filled with hatred, hating the beggars for being heartless and ungrateful, disregarding the many times she had taken care of them before.

He hated the servants who dared to betray their master, disregarding their status as masters and forcibly seizing property.

She resented those maids for running away so early, leaving her no one to take the blame and suffer in her place.

She resented Qingyan for disregarding her kindness in helping her and stealing her last bit of personal money.

...

"Smack!"

"What use are you!"

"I'll deal with you later!"

He released his grip on her hair, slapped her again, and stormed off with the beggars.

Gao Pan'er watched the departing beggars with deep resentment. The entire Mo family mansion was now under their control, making it difficult to go out and call the police!

Then he thought that he had no money to bribe officials now, and those opportunistic police officers probably wouldn't pay him any attention, which made him feel a chill in his heart.

Even though the young lady is gone and the master is no longer here, and I am now in charge of the household, plus the family property is all in my hands, how did my life end up like this?

Tears streamed down her face, and the room was eerily silent.

The most urgent task now is to find a way to make more money, not to deal with Gao Pan'er.

Since those servants committed the crime, don't blame me. I'll take all the money for myself!

Anyway, they're all bad people, and I'm not a good person either.

The beggar leader led his men into the servants' quarters and ransacked the place. Although there weren't many people individually, they could manage for a while if they worked together.
