Seeing the strange expressions on the two people's faces, Si Jinxing also glanced at the post.
She was delighted. Qi Moli was the one who stole the bamboo shoots!
Just these few words, wouldn't Zhou be scared half to death?
Her eyes flashed, and she cried out, "Big sister, why are you still kneeling on the ground? If your knees turn red, the Third Prince will definitely think that he was bullied in our house!"
You didn't do it on purpose, so grandma won't be angry with you."
In the past, Si Jinyue would have blushed with shyness, but now the Third Prince didn't even go to her courtyard to rest. Even if her knees were bruised, how would he know?
Her eyes widened in anger, and the gentleness on her face disappeared. Si Jinxing actually mocked her so blatantly!
When the old lady heard this, she remembered that her eldest granddaughter was the consort of the Third Prince and might even aspire to that position in the future...
Thinking of this, she quickly reached out to help him up, with a smile on her face, and said:
"You girl, you are so stubborn! Grandmother forgot to tell you to stand up, but you kept kneeling? Grandmother doesn't blame you. You are just being filial.
Now that An has invited you, you can take this invitation to Lihua Garden. Your mother is the mistress, so let her make the arrangements."
Si Jinyue took the note, glanced at Si Jinxing who was standing beside her, and hurried to Lihuayuan with Si Jinyun.
Si Jinxing lowered her head, too lazy to even open her eyelids. This old lady is really cunning!
Just throw this hot potato to Zhou.
She plays the good guy, and Zhou plays the bad guy. Wow, awesome!
Let’s talk about the sisters Si Jinyue and Si Jinyun. When they arrived at Lihua Garden, they heard bursts of roars coming from the backyard as soon as they entered the door.
The two looked at each other and ran straight to the backyard!
I saw Zhou sitting on the ground in front of the warehouse door, crying loudly, looking like a complete mess!
"Mother, what are you doing? Get up quickly!" Si Jinyue frowned and wanted to pull Zhou to stand up.
No matter what happens, her mother is still the mistress of the general's mansion. It is really inappropriate to behave like this!
But she forgot her mother's plump figure!
One of them could do the work of two of hers, how could her tiny arms and legs possibly pull that?!
As a result, she used too much force and failed to pull Zhou away, but accidentally fell to the ground herself.
Her back hit the door panel with a "duang" sound, and she cried in pain.
Having already been offended by Si Jinxing, and now seeing her mother acting like this, Si Jinyue was furious, her eyebrows raised as she shouted:
"Mother! What happened? What's the point of crying?!"
When Mrs. Zhou saw that her eldest daughter was angry, she immediately fell silent, only twitching her broad shoulders from time to time.
Seeing this, Mother Liu waved her hand and asked the two maids to leave the backyard, closed the gate tightly, and waited outside.
She helped Si Jinyue stand up, pointed to the warehouse, sighed softly, and said:
"Miss, the lady is just upset. You should go and see for yourself."
Upon hearing this, Si Jinyue did not ask any further questions, but walked into the warehouse with a puzzled look on her face. She wanted to see what had happened in the warehouse that made her mother so sad!
Seeing this, Si Jinyun hurriedly followed!
As soon as the two sisters entered, they were stunned!
The warehouse that was usually packed with goods now only had a few empty wooden shelves.
The ground was filled with wooden boxes, and not a single one was left!
The huge warehouse was empty, not a single penny was left!
At this moment, Si Jinxing was leisurely eating snacks. Humph, my main goal is to be clean!
"Big sister, is this mother's warehouse?" Si Jinyun walked around the room and once suspected that she had walked into the wrong room.
There are so many fun things in her mother's storeroom. Every year on her birthday, she can come here and choose something she wants.
Whether it is gold, silver, jewellery, ornaments, cloth, or teacups, take your pick!
Where are those things?!
Si Jinyue's eyelids twitched. What on earth happened in the backyard?
She came to take inventory with her mother yesterday!
She pulled Si Jinyun out of the warehouse, and together with Mother Liu, she helped Zhou up and let her sit on the stone bench in the pavilion.
"Mother, where are the things in the warehouse?" Si Jinyue asked anxiously.
"I don't know, I don't know... anything. This morning... as soon as I opened the warehouse door, it... happened! I really don't know..." Zhou said with sobs, and the fat on her face trembled.
Seeing that Zhou couldn't say a word, Madam Liu hurriedly recounted the whole story in detail:
"Miss, it's like this. This morning, Madam said that you should come over and pick out the items you selected yesterday so that they can be packed.
When we opened the warehouse door, we found that it was empty!
Madam usually didn't want to use these things, but now, they disappeared overnight, all stolen. Madam couldn't understand what was happening, and was extremely heartbroken. Her legs went weak and she collapsed on the ground!
Si Jinyun was only fourteen years old after all. When she heard that so many good things were lost, she cried out!
"I can't come here to choose items for my birthday anymore?!"
Si Jinyue pinched the post in her sleeve. It was really hot!
She glanced at Si Jinyun, then looked at Zhou, and sighed:
"Mother... there's no point in crying. We only have one day to collect the dowry!"
"I have no money! I definitely can't get it together within a day! Let that damn girl wait!" Zhou couldn't bear to talk about money the most right now.
Although she also has a small warehouse, it is not as big as this one, and there are not even half as many items in it.
