Chapter 46 Treat it like a dog
It’s not that her male protagonist doesn’t feel sorry for him. Xu Muhua kicked the man hard a few times. The man didn’t move at all. It was obvious that he was unconscious enough.
“How did you make him like this?”
Did the master really become a spirit? Could it be a cat demon?
“This master naturally has his own way! In short, you have to understand that the credit for this matter belongs to this master!”
“Okay, it must be okay! It’s your credit. Whatever you want, just ask, and I will definitely satisfy you!”
“We’ll talk about this later. You should think about how to deal with this person first!”
Xu Muhua thought about it and called Shi Liu directly. The two of them dragged the unconscious man to the main courtyard together.
Xu's mother was being waited on and was about to go to bed when a maid ran in in a panic, stuttering!
"Madam, the eldest lady, the eldest lady dragged an unconscious man over here!"
"What?"
Xu's mother stood up suddenly, "Quick, quick, give me the clothes!"
She was busy putting on her clothes, and she couldn't stop worrying.
What happened to this child Mu Hua again? Why is she dragging an unconscious man at this hour? If this gets out, it will be terrible!
"Mammy, you go and keep the news. Don't let anyone know."
Xu's mother quickly packed herself up and walked out quickly. The first thing she saw was a person lying on the ground. It was obvious that he was a man from his figure, and he was dressed in black. Could he be a thief who broke in?
How could a thief break into the house?
"Mother, this is a man in black who broke in. He must not be a good person. You must investigate it carefully! Besides, this is the Duke's Mansion. My father and my elder brother are generals, but any scoundrel can get in. It's lucky that I was the one who was caught today. What if it was someone else?"
"Mother, you must investigate it carefully. Is the guard in our mansion so poor? It's like a sieve. Anyone can come in if they want!"
Mother Xu suppressed her anger and asked, "What's going on? Tell me clearly, tell me everything that happened!"
Xu Muhua explained the whole thing in a few words.
Mother Xu understood it immediately. There must be something wrong in the mansion, so it was so easy for someone to get in.
This man is definitely not someone with great martial arts skills, otherwise he would not have been knocked down by Mu Hua.
After understanding what happened, Xu's mother opened fire on Xu Mu Hua again, "Mu Hua, you are too reckless! You are still a child. When you encounter such a thing, the first thing you should do is to shout for help and let the guards in the mansion come to deal with it, instead of rushing in by yourself! You are still a powerless person, what if you get hurt?"
"Mom, the most important thing now is to thoroughly check the affairs of our house, no matter how big or small! The guards are so lax, what about other places? Are there servants in the kitchen and the accounting office who are taking advantage of the situation and doing things perfunctorily? This will sooner or later cause trouble!"
Xu Muhua said while thinking about how to expose the problems in the kitchen when her mother was checking these things. Otherwise, the property of the Duke Cheng Mansion would have been embezzled by these servants!
It was absolutely outrageous that the servants actually embezzled most of the property of the master, and they almost emptied the Duke Cheng Mansion.
Although they were servants who signed the contract, they had a lot of money in their hands. After the incident, they hid secretly and waited for the storm to pass. With money, what was there to worry about not being able to get things done?
Anyway, in the book, the servants in the mansion had nothing to do after the fall of the Duke Cheng Mansion. When Xu Muhua thought about those servants embezzling the money in the mansion, and when the Duke Cheng Mansion was gone, they would take the money and live a life of wealth and luxury, he was so angry that his teeth itched.
Doesn't she also have a share of the Duke's Mansion's property? If they embezzle the Duke's Mansion's money, they are embezzling her money!
Stealing someone's property is like killing their parents!
So all these servants are her enemies who killed her father and mother, and they cannot be forgiven!
Xu's mother also realized that perhaps her way of managing the family for so many years was too lenient and kind, which led to the servants becoming lazy.
There are only women in the mansion, and only An Nan is a young master, but he is still young. If something really happens, what can they, the weak and small ones, do?
She frowned: "Don't worry, mother knows what to do. This time mother will investigate thoroughly! Sell all the problematic items!"
Xu Muhua thought that just selling them was not enough, and she might have to be sent to the government office!
Stealing a huge amount of property from the owner's house is punishable by beheading!
"Mother, tie this man up and lock him up first. Interrogate him thoroughly tomorrow to see whether he had the courage to break in and steal things or was instructed by someone."
Xu Muhua said.
Xu's mother nodded subconsciously: "Mother will handle this matter. You go back and have a rest. Lock the door."
Xu Muhua didn't sit for long and got up and went back obediently.
After Xu Muhua left, Xu's mother came to her senses.
How could he be instructed by someone? Who would send someone to the Chengguo Mansion? Could it be that the news that the old man and the eldest son were coming back had spread?
Mother Xu was a little worried, and she never thought that this was directed at Xu Muhua.
Xu Jinyu and Xu Nan only found out about this the next day. Xu Nan was only angry, but Xu Jinyu noticed that Xu Muhua seemed to have known about it a long time ago. As a result, her face looked a little ugly, and she was very concerned.
Mother Xu was determined to sort out the affairs of the mansion, and summoned all the servants and stewards who could leave the mansion to the yard.
But just when she was about to scold him, the eldest master suddenly ran over with something in his mouth.
At first, no one looked carefully, and thought that the eldest master was naughty and bit him.
The grandfather ran straight to Xu Muhua, spit out the things in his mouth, and rolled his eyes at her.
This woman is treating him like a dog!
"Hey, what is this, grandfather? Where did you bite it from? It looks very valuable. Did you go to a place you shouldn't go to or touch something you shouldn't touch?"
Xu Muhua asked in a pretended angry tone.
Xu's mother glanced casually and was shocked when she saw what was in Xu Muhua's hand. She quickly came to her, took the thing from her hand, and quickly confirmed it.
"This... This is one of the dowries that your maternal grandparents prepared for your mother. It was lost a long time ago, so how come it is here?"
Xu's mother was stunned when she saw the golden hairpin in her hand.
No one noticed that among the servants standing below, one of them had a different look when he saw the golden hairpin.
