Chapter 037 The reversal came too fast
Zhang Xiang had just heard about this from the people below and couldn't help but sigh, "This is fucking weird."
"Who said it wasn't true? Thieves can't always focus on stealing things from my house, right?" Old Mrs. Li said tearfully.
"You didn't lose it?" Zhang Xiang looked at the Gu family.
Gu Mingyu looked at his parents, confirmed it, and shook his head.
"Not at all?"
Gu Mingyu nodded, "Not a single bit is lost."
"Look, sir, this is such a strange thing. I don't believe it if you say it has nothing to do with them. I don't know who they have colluded with. Will they come to rob us? Otherwise, we should report it to the police and prevent any more trouble!" Li Ye said.
Li Mumu raised her eyebrows, and suddenly felt that her second uncle had become smarter because he was hanging out with that group of bad friends all day.
Zhang Xiang's face darkened. "Did you do this?"
"No!" Gu Mingtang answered firmly, "Why should we do this?"
"Of course... it's because Brother Yuan divorced Miss Gu." Lin Siyan had been holding it in all night and finally found a chance to vent her anger.
"Shut up!" Although Gu Mingjing is young, he is the most aggressive person in the Gu family. However, this aggressiveness is directed outwards, not inwards. With the arrogance of a teenager, he will not tolerate outsiders saying anything bad about his family members.
Lin Siyan was stunned by his yelling, but she didn't give up. "Sir, we have to investigate this matter thoroughly, otherwise our future will be difficult. I think we should report it to the higher authorities. The Gu family has ill intentions and is colluding with outsiders to kidnap the prisoners."
It was such a big hat that was put on her. Li Mumu thought to herself that Lin Siyan was really cruel.
"Don't talk nonsense. Even if we stole it, where did we hide it?" Song Qiang was anxious.
As a daughter of an official family, she naturally knew that if this complaint was escalated to a higher level, their crime would be even more serious.
"Who knows? How about you explain why you only steal from ours and not yours?"
Lin Siyan looked at everyone smugly, then bit her lip. "Miss Gu, you and Brother Yuan have been married for ten years. Why bother trying to kill us? Now that I think about it, you've done so much harm to us. Who knows, maybe you were the one who sent the fortune teller yesterday?"
She thought to herself that she was so clever that she could finally get rid of the label of disaster by taking advantage of the situation.
"I've never done it, and I'm not familiar with fortune-telling."
"That's right, my sister didn't go out yesterday." Song Qiang said.
"But if you go out, you are a family. You might throw dirty water on me just to vent your anger on Miss Gu. Miss Gu, why are you doing this? If you still have Brother Yuan in your heart, why did you make a fuss about getting a divorce? I never thought about asking for a formal relationship."
Li Mumu almost laughed out loud when she heard this. She really knows how to talk.
But you're also right, she was just being cunning and using sweet words to deceive everyone.
The Gu family is honest and kind-hearted. They have no intention of harming others and will not throw dirty water on others casually. Seeing that they were about to lose the upper hand, Zhang Xiang looked at them with suspicion.
Li Mumu yawned and rubbed her eyes. "Aunt Lin, where's the meat you said you were going to give Mumu?"
"What...what meat?" Lin Siyan was confused. "Are you still asleep? What nonsense are you talking about?"
Li Mumu's eyes widened. "You took a lot of things out yesterday and didn't let Mumu tell you."
"I... when did I take anything? Don't talk nonsense, how can you frame me?" Lin Siyan panicked.
"Fuck it, what the hell is going on? Shut up, Li Mumu, you tell me." Zhang Xiang said coldly.
Li Mumu nodded obediently. "I woke up in the middle of the night yesterday and saw Aunt Lin taking something out. She said she would give me some meat if I didn't tell her. Mumu didn't tell her because Aunt Lin didn't give me any meat."
Zhang Xiang's cold gaze swept over Lin Siyan, then looked at the Li family, and then asked, "What did she take? Where did she go?"
"Sir, don't listen to her nonsense. I didn't do that."
Li Mumu shook her head first, then said, "I don't know what it was, it went over there, and Aunt Lin told me it was to pee."
"Hiss, yes, I opened my eyes in a daze last night and indeed saw someone going in that direction." said the yamen runner who was on duty last night.
"I...I really just went to the bathroom. You know, pregnant women have easier times." Lin Siyan quickly explained, completely losing her previous smugness. "Sir, what am I doing with this thing?"
Zhang Xiang glanced at her, and then asked someone to search in the direction Li Mumu had just pointed to see if there were any clues.
Unexpectedly, Liuzi and others came back soon to report that they had found the thing.
Looking at the pile of things thrown on the ground, Mrs. Li's face was filled with joy as if she had found something she had lost. "I found it. I don't have to go hungry anymore."
Li Yuan frowned and looked at the weak woman crying in front of him. He felt as if he had never known her before.
"What do you mean?" Zhang Xiang questioned Lin Siyan coldly.
"I didn't, I really didn't. Why would I do that? You can't listen to her. She's a fool."
"The words of a fool are much more trustworthy than those of a smart person." Zhang Xiang snorted coldly. To be a leader, one must not only be experienced, but also have some brains to control so many people.
Zhang Xiang is actually not stupid, but rather quite scheming.
"Brother Yuan, please believe me. I...we are a family. I have no reason to do this." Lin Siyan turned to look at Li Yuan, begging for his trust.
"Bah, she's a fool, she can't even be taught to lie." Zhao spat. She had the most say in this matter. She had done bad things and wrong things before, and wanted the little girl to take the blame, but she messed up every time, which made her so angry.
The Li family has lived with Li Mumu for three years and firmly believes that Li Mumu would not lie.
Song Qiang also added fuel to the fire. Even if she didn't know how to do it before, she had learned it now after being splashed with dirty water. "A family? Who knows? Who knows? There might be someone outside to help them. Sir, I also think we should investigate thoroughly, otherwise our journey will be too unsafe."
This is what she just said, return it to her exactly as it is.
Before Zhang Xiang could send someone to check, the innkeeper came running over and asked, "Sir, sir, you didn't lose anything, did you?"
Zhang Xiang heard that something was wrong, "What's wrong?"
"Yesterday, I heard from a guest that a figure broke into the backyard in the middle of the night. Judging from its stature, it was a man. I hurried over to ask. Please don't lose any valuables."
"A man? Haha~" Zhang Xiang looked at the completely bewildered Lin Siyan with a playful expression, "There really is a man."
