After failing to be caught while trying to steal from the Ji family, she became greedy and took a chance.

She would occasionally steal a few things to sell, to help pay off her son's debts for the rest of his life.

As she continued to sneak around, she began to feel at ease and refused to leave.

As she continued to steal, she began to feel that it was perfectly justified, and she no longer felt guilty.

"Husband, call the police." Seeing Zhang Xiaoai hesitate, Ji's mother said coldly.

"No, no, Madam, please don't call the police! I'll talk, I'll talk, I'll tell you everything!" Upon hearing that the police were being called, Zhang Xiaoai shook her head and began to sob.

Confess and you will be treated leniently.

Hopefully, the Ji family will let her off the hook because she was honest and straightforward.

Her gambling son called a few days ago, saying that his girlfriend was pregnant with his child and they were planning to get married soon.

If she ends up in jail at this critical juncture, and the woman finds out, won't the marriage fall through?

She was still hoping that the woman would give her family children!

In addition, she also wanted to drink the celebratory wine at her son's wedding.

Over the years, she has taken the Ji family's belongings to sell, but the money she got didn't end up in her hands. It all went to her gambling son, and she even had to give him half of her salary.

Although she was cursing and swearing, he was still her own son, what could she do? She could only try to find a way to support him.

Mr. Ji and Mrs. Ji exchanged a glance. Mr. Ji immediately understood what was going on and, taking advantage of Zhang Xiaoai's inattention, pressed the recording button on his phone.

Seeing that the two people in front of her were staring at her, Zhang Xiaoai trembled and tearfully recounted what had happened.

"The second young master of the Jiang family found me and asked me to help him switch the money in the eldest young master's wallet. I just needed to use the money that the eldest young master had found to replace the money in the wallet. After that, he gave me three thousand yuan in cash."

Mr. and Mrs. Ji looked tense and serious, unable to understand why Jiang Yichen was doing this.

Xiao Fei from their family came back with a bag of money, at least tens of thousands of yuan, and told them it belonged to an elderly person and that he would take it to the police station the next day.

Why did Jiang Yichen go to such lengths to get Zhang Xiaoai to switch the money she found with his daughter Xiaofei's money?

"After that, Young Master Jiang asked me to sneak into the eldest young master's room and steal the manuscript for him. At that time, I had only been in the Ji family for a short time and I wasn't very bold, so I only stole a few pages. But Young Master Jiang was very angry when he saw them and ordered me to steal the complete manuscript."

"I, I wouldn't dare. Even if he generously gave me 20,000 yuan, I still wouldn't dare to do it."

Zhang Xiaoai spoke honestly, emphasizing the word "twenty thousand yuan".

They'd give you 20,000 yuan for stealing that piece of paper covered in dense writing; that's a lot of money.

But she didn't lose herself because of the 20,000 yuan and steal the handwritten manuscript.

This is what she wanted to convey to them.

"You mean we should thank you?" Madam Ji understood what she meant immediately and said coldly.

She was clearly aiding and abetting evil, yet she still tried to curry favor with her.

"No, no, no, I didn't mean that, Madam, please don't misunderstand!" Zhang Xiaoai shook her head and quickly said.

She was very puzzled. How could someone who usually seemed so gentle and kind become such a different person when they got angry?

It inspires fear and sends chills down one's spine.

Then, Zhang Xiaoai continued, "When Young Master Jiang saw that I didn't dare to, he made another suggestion, which was to film it."

"Take a picture of the handwritten manuscript with your phone, then give the phone to him."

"I thought it was just a quick photo shoot, no big deal, so I agreed."

“I took the phone that Second Young Master Jiang gave me and photographed the eldest young master’s handwritten manuscript one by one. Then I found a time to go see Second Young Master Jiang and gave him the phone.”

"Madam, I was only following Young Master Jiang's orders and was momentarily blinded by greed. Please, please forgive me."

Zhang Xiaoai said, tears streaming down her face.

She knelt down in front of the two men with a thud and kowtowed, begging for mercy.

She didn't know why Jiang Yichen wanted her to change the money in their young master's wallet, nor did she know why Jiang Yichen wanted their young master's handwritten manuscript.

She knew nothing; she was just following orders.

Even if she made a mistake, she wasn't the one who made the biggest mistake.

The saying goes, "Ignorance is no excuse." She knew nothing, so naturally she shouldn't be guilty in this matter.

When Jiang Yichen approached her, she didn't know his identity, she only knew that the kid was rich.

She only found out later when she saw reports about him online.

Ji's mother looked at Zhang Xiaoai coldly.

She used to think Zhang Xiaoai was pretty good, at least she was good at housework.

After hearing her attempt to shift the blame and her assertion that she hadn't done anything wrong, she realized how blind she had been before.

"Continue," Madam Ji said coldly.

"Say what? I've said everything I needed to say."

"Madam, I swear I did not lie, nor did I omit a single word. This is all I have done."

Zhang Xiaoai said, crying.

What else does she need to say?

She told me everything!

"How much did you steal from the Ji family after that?" Father Ji said coldly, his eyes turning sharp as he looked at Zhang Xiaoai.

"Afterwards...afterwards...I've forgotten how much I stole." Zhang Xiaoai clutched the hem of her clothes tightly.

She had stolen quite a lot over the years, but if you asked her to list them all, she would have forgotten most of them.

"Hmm?" Father Ji raised an eyebrow and hummed in response.

Zhang Xiaoai trembled with fear and began to count.

Mother Ji glanced at Father Ji, as if telling him with her eyes, "Look at her."

She then walked outside and took out her phone again.

She has many questions that need to be answered.

The manuscript was stolen in order to plagiarize and claim Xiaofei's work as his own.

Why exchange the money?

Ji's mother made a phone call, and the call was answered immediately.

"Master Li, I have something I'd like to ask you," said Madam Ji.

Li Chengdao's voice came from the other end of the phone, "Mrs. Ji, please feel free to ask."

“My son found some money before, and after he brought it home, someone switched the money in his wallet with the money he found. Why do you think that is? Or what is the point of doing that?” Ji’s mother didn’t chat with Li Chengdao and went straight to the point.

She has more important things to do now.

A long, long time ago, before Jiang Yuan became a metaphysical streamer, she had her fortune told in Li Chengdao's live stream.

The divination was done on her daughter's side, to find out if she had been reincarnated and how she was doing now. They even invited Li Chengdao to perform a ritual at the Ji family.

After a few exchanges, they got in touch.

She didn't know any other masters in the underworld, so she could only call Li Chengdao to ask.

No matter how much money Li Chengdao wanted, she was willing to give it to him.

As long as he can answer my question!

She's determined to find out the reason today!

She dreamt that her little Fei was crying for help, which must mean that her little Fei had suffered a great injustice and wanted her help!

It must be her little Fei appearing in her dream, wanting to tell her something!

She wanted to uncover the truth; she wanted to know everything!

Even if it means dragging the Ji family into it!
