After three rounds of counting by four people, Xu Wanyan's brows became more and more furrowed.
"Have you made sure everything is accounted for?"
"Replying to the Second Miss, this old servant has confirmed that every corner has been counted and nothing has been missed."
Looking at Xu Wanyan's expression, Mother Chen, Qiao Yun, and Xichun knew that there must be something important that was not mentioned.
Xu Wanyan looked at Mother Chen.
After a long while, Mother Chen whispered, "Second Miss, there are quite a few things in Madam's storeroom."
Xu Wanyan remained silent. Even if Mother Chen didn't say it, she would have known it.
Zhao Yaru pretended to be noble while using her mother's things.
To say that she is shameless is to compliment her.
"Can you... open her vault?"
Mother Chen shook her head, "This old slave can't, but Mother Gu... should be able to."
Xu Wanyan didn't continue the topic. "Okay, today's inventory is over. From now on, no matter which hospital's supplies are coming from, you must remember them clearly."
"yes!"
Xu Wanyan looked at the list and took out her uncle's letter to check it one by one.
Unexpectedly, something was wrong and I didn’t know what was going on. The couple was shocked.
Seven or eight out of ten things in the mansion’s general storehouse are my mother’s dowry. It can be said that the Xu family almost entirely relies on my mother’s dowry to survive.
The more Xu Wanyan watched, the angrier she became. She wondered how the Xu family could be so shameless.
At this moment, her disgust for this family reached its peak.
After a long time, she took a deep breath and put both lists into the cabinet.
Right now, we must get the Jade Unicorn without anyone noticing.
After thinking for a while, Xu Wanyan decided to start with Mother Gu.
As long as she is greedy for money, there is nothing she can't handle.
When Mother Chen heard the plan, she was a little hesitant at first, but then, thinking about how good the second young lady had been to her during this period, she nodded.
I definitely can’t go back to my lady’s place.
One day, Mother Chen brought food and found Mother Gu.
Mother Gu sat in the pavilion with a depressed look on her face. Recently, the lady had been having a hard time, and she hadn't had an easy time either.
Originally, the lady was in favor, and she was a popular person around the lady, so naturally everyone respected her.
Now, the lady and the eldest daughter have fallen out of favor, and no one cares about her, the once glorious housekeeper.
The sudden loneliness made it difficult for Mother Gu to adapt for a while.
"Mr. Gu, why are you sitting here?" Mother Chen appeared cheerfully.
Mother Gu looked at the person who came, unable to hide the jealousy in her eyes.
Who would have thought that the second young lady, who had no sense of existence, could gain power.
And Mother Chen, the person who was kicked out by the Madam, also saw her position rise with the tide. How could she not feel uncomfortable?
"Old Chen, now that you have achieved enlightenment, everyone around you will benefit!"
Mother Chen pretended not to hear Mother Gu's sarcastic tone and continued to say cheerfully, "Ah, what are you talking about? No matter how good the master is, aren't we still slaves?"
Mother Gu's eyes turned red. Mother Chen's words touched her heart.
In the past, when the Madam was in charge of the household, she enjoyed the delicacies of the land and the sea for every meal, but the servants couldn't even have soup.
Thinking of what she saw last time at Feiyun Garden, Mother Chen's eyes lit up: "The Second Miss is so kind to you!"
Now, Madam Chen didn't hide anything and said with a smile, "Of course not. The Second Young Miss can eat delicious food and drink spicy drinks, and we servants can still have a sip of soup."
As she spoke, she raised the basket in her hand and said, "Look, I brought some delicious food for you to try. It's been a long time since we old sisters got together."
Mother Gu stared at the basket, the aroma of the roast chicken made her mouth water.
The fragrance of the wine aroused her appetite even more, and her jealousy towards Mother Chen disappeared in an instant.
After a hearty meal and a good drink, Mother Gu's cheeks were flushed and her eyes were blurry. The smell of alcohol made Mother Chen frown.
"Lao Chen, you, you are so, so good. If it weren't for you, how could I have such a good time and enjoy myself so much?"
Mother Chen smiled calmly and said, "Old Gu, we've known each other for many years. How can I watch you suffer alone?"
"That's very kind. I didn't misjudge you. Wait, wait, Madam, Madam... When I make a comeback, I will definitely ask you to take you back."
Mother Chen's face was full of sarcasm, but she still smiled. "Thank you in advance. Come, continue eating and drinking."
Mother Gu nodded happily, "Okay, okay!"
Feiyun Garden
Qiao Yun rushed in and said, "Miss, it's done."
Xu Wanyan was overjoyed, "Bring it here quickly!"
Qiao Yun carefully handed a bunch of keys to Xu Wanyan, and Xu Wanyan took the dough and printed them out one by one.
"Go, return it to Mother Gu, and bring some delicious dishes with you."
"Yes! Miss!"
Xu Wanyan happily took the dough and walked out.
When she came back again, everything was calm and Mother Chen was already busy in Feiyun Garden.
Seeing her, Mother Chen hurried over and said, "Second Miss, Mother Gu is so grateful today and is even talking about repaying you in the future."
Xu Wanyan smiled and said, "Mother Gu has had a hard time too. You should spend more time with her and help her improve her meals."
"Yes, I will listen to you."
Xu Wanyan nodded and took out three keys from her sleeve.
She held the key tightly in her hand, with a smile on her face.
"Miss, Aunt Huang has sent you a letter."
Xu Wanyan almost forgot about her. She was too busy these days and had no time to visit her.
After taking the letter, Xu Wanyan took a quick look at it and a smile appeared in her eyes.
"Miss, what's the good news?"
Xu Wanyan pursed her lips and smiled, "My brother, whom I've never met, has returned. Aunt Huang wanted him to come and pay me a visit, but she was afraid that something might happen."
"So, Miss, are you going to meet the young master?"
Xu Wanyan nodded, "Of course it is. Now that the Xu family has no one left, it's always good to have an heir."
Moreover, this fear will make Zhao Yaru completely desperate.
Thinking of this, she couldn't help laughing.
Seeing her young lady so happy, Qiao Yun felt much better.
"Go, prepare some things that boys like. He's a few years younger than me, so he must be a playful person."
"Yes, I'll prepare it right away."
Watching Qiao Yun leave happily, Xu Wanyan's face became heavy.
Now that she has found Huang Yueping and her son, they should know what to do next.
Huang Yueping contacted her on her own initiative, probably because she had figured it out.
When Xu Wanyan came to the Huang Mansion again, she no longer felt the strangeness she had felt before.
As soon as they got off the car, Huang Yueping brought Lin's mother and a young man standing beside them.
The boy looked about eight or nine years old, so he must be her younger brother.
"Aunt Huang, this must be my younger brother."
Huang Yueping smiled and quickly pulled the boy over. She pointed at Xu Wanyan and said, "Fan'er, this is your sister. Hurry and say hello to her."
The young man said naively: "Hello, sister."
Xu Wanyan happily agreed and handed the gift she had prepared in advance to Huang Yifan.
