The empress dowager, who was showing off, was stunned.
What?
What did she hear?
There is no second floor.
How is this possible.
The Queen Mother was limping with her cane, but at an extremely fast speed, she ran towards the second floor at an astonishing speed.
This frightened the old emperor.
"Mom, you are old, please slow down."
"Shut up, you little brat. I look younger than you."
[An 80-year-old lady has this spirit and energy, she is indeed younger than the old emperor who sits and reviews memorials every day, haha.]
The old emperor shut up now.
A group of people followed him up to the second floor.
The Queen Mother was surprised to see that the golden fortune tree that she had placed in the middle was now empty.
She kicked her legs, sat down on the ground, and slapped her thighs crying for her parents.
"Oh my god, where is my money tree? Who stole my money tree?"
This scene stunned Shen Zhiyi and his group who had rushed over.
[This... is the legendary Queen Mother? ]
Shen Zhiyi, who thought he had the least experience, silently turned his head to look at Chen Decai and Zhang Sheren beside him.
At this time, the two men opened their mouths slightly, obviously it was the first time they saw this situation.
Shen Zhiyi suddenly felt balanced.
The old emperor coughed a few times awkwardly and stepped forward to help the empress dowager up, but she dodged him.
"Mom, wake up."
"Why are you so angry? My precious money tree is gone."
"I will have someone investigate this matter immediately."
[It is impossible to move a two-meter-tall fortune tree cleanly in one go, which means it cannot be an outside thief, but a domestic thief.]
The old emperor nodded in agreement.
Shen Zhiyi is indeed the most intelligent child when he is eating melons.
The Queen Mother wiped her tears, grabbed the old emperor's sleeve and got up from the ground. She turned around and looked at her personal maid Xin'er beside her. Her face was gloomy and she said, "Call out everyone in the palace immediately and interrogate each one of them carefully."
“Yes.”
[Let me see which thief is so bold. This fortune tree is for the old emperor. The most important thing is, ah, it turns out that there are gold ingots hanging on every branch. Such perfect gold ingots! ]
Shen Zhiyi felt very sorry that she didn't see the live version of such a beautiful golden fortune tree.
【Who is this man? 】
The Queen Mother shuddered.
It's a man!
She opened her mouth and wanted to ask her maid to replace everyone with men, but stopped at the old emperor's gaze.
At this time, the system considerately gave Shen Zhiyi the name of the man in the surveillance video.
[Marquis Pingyang, the son of the old emperor's deceased younger brother.]
Everyone: Why not just say he is the old emperor’s nephew or the empress dowager’s grandson?
The Queen Mother was distracted and shook her head subconsciously.
How could it be Marquis Pingyang? This voice is simply nonsense!
[After the old emperor's younger brother died, the Marquis of Pingyang was raised by the empress dowager. Later, when they came to Luozhou, they were also brought here.]
[Tsk tsk tsk, a little kid, or to be more precise, a little boy, being raised by a person of the next generation will most likely turn out to be a troublemaker.]
The Queen Mother's hand holding the cane began to stir.
The old emperor knew his mother too well and quickly reached out to stop the man.
The Queen Mother lowered her voice and said, "She is teasing me."
"Children are ignorant, just pretend you didn't hear it."
[Look at this one raised by the Marquis of Pingyang. When he was young, he climbed trees to get bird eggs. When he grew up, he got bird eggs from the servants around him.]
Everyone subconsciously put their legs together and slowly looked at the Queen Mother.
The Queen Mother argued: "I gave you silver."
[When I was a child, my mother-in-law took care of my meals and clothes. When I grew up, I still couldn’t do it myself. Now I’m in my twenties, I still need others to feed me and dress me. How disgusting.]
The old emperor disapproved: "Mother, you are a little too doting."
The Queen Mother continued to argue: "Your nephew lost his parents when he was young, so no one loves him except me. Besides, he is a marquis, so what's wrong with having people serve him clothes and food?"
[When he was a child, the Queen Mother gave him whatever he wanted. This led to the Queen Mother's unwillingness to give him the golden fortune tree when he grew up. This led to the idea of stealing the golden fortune tree for the Marquis of Pingyang.]
The Queen Mother rolled her eyes in anger.
"I didn't expect it to be this brat. I'll ask him to take the money tree back now."
No matter how important a grandson is, he is not as important as one's own son, let alone the emperor's son.
The Queen Mother knows exactly what is more important.
[The Marquis of Pingyang also knew that the golden fortune tree was too big to take all of it at once, so he only took one gold ingot at first, and then two gold ingots. As he became more and more courageous, he soon took all of the gold ingots.]
The Queen Mother was so angry that she poked the ground with her cane.
"Those dogs didn't even report this to me."
[After taking the gold ingots, we started to remove the branches and finally the trunk. It took us five months to move the golden fortune tree.]
The Queen Mother could no longer stay in the storehouse, so she took her walking stick and went to the small courtyard where Marquis Pingyang lived.
Shen Zhiyi was still staring at the surveillance camera in a daze. It was not until Zhang Sheren spoke that she realized that they were about to leave the warehouse.
"Where's the Queen Mother?"
Zhang Sheren: "It seems that we have found out who stole the golden fortune tree."
Shen Zhiyi nodded.
[I didn't expect Zhang Sheren is also called the Golden Fortune Tree. ]
Zhang Sheren laughed awkwardly and felt flustered.
He hurriedly interrupted Shen Zhiyi's thoughts: "I heard it was Pingyang Hou, Shen Lang, do you think it's possible?"
“It’s hard to say.”
Zhang Sheren took a deep breath.
Changed.
Shen Lang, you have changed.
Who on earth led Shen Lang astray?
[Of course it must have been done by Marquis Pingyang. That guy didn't try to hide it. The Queen Mother can find out who it is with a little investigation, so the Queen Mother is now rushing to find Marquis Pingyang. ]
[But it's useless for the Queen Mother to rush over now, because the Marquis of Pingyang is not in his own courtyard at all.]
Upon hearing this, the old emperor prepared to go back to the courtyard prepared for him by the empress dowager to have a rest.
When the Queen Mother finds out that Marquis Pingyang is not here, she will definitely come looking for him eagerly.
Who would have thought that before I could even sit down, the empress dowager came in a hurry.
"That bastard, I wonder where he's gone to fool around again."
"Come, have some tea to calm down."
The Queen Mother had no taste in drinking tea and just drank it in one gulp.
"I can't get over this anger. He actually stole the things that mother left for you. He really deserves a beating. Don't worry, son. When he comes back, mother will make sure to break his hand."
"It's time to teach him a lesson."
[If possible, I suggest interrupting Pingyang Hou's Little Pingyang Hou as well~]
The old emperor and Zhang Sheren suddenly felt a chill somewhere.
Zhang Sheren even quietly distanced himself from Shen Zhiyi.
Chen Decai doesn't have this concern, since he doesn't have it anyway.
[This Pingyang Marquis has been raised by the Queen Mother to be lawless. I was wondering why this guy wanted so much money. Damn, what a crappy habit! ]
