Chapter 503 The Emperor's Conjecture
The maids and servants were in a panic again. Some helped the old lady to calm down, some pinched her Ren Zhong, and some massaged her chest. After all this busy work, the old lady coughed a few times and woke up again.
The Lin Mansion is now in a mess. The head of the Lin family is in a coma and has not woken up yet. The eldest young master also fell into a coma after learning that his yard had been looted.
Now there is no one in charge in the Lin Mansion, so they can only wake up the old lady and let her take charge of the situation.
The old lady has experienced countless storms and can endure better than anyone else.
As they expected, the old lady woke up and tried hard to calm herself down. She drank a sip of water and then asked about the current situation in the mansion.
When the old lady learned that the Lin Mansion was now just an empty shell, she almost fainted again.
But the old lady had seen all kinds of storms and waves. After arranging the affairs in the mansion, she immediately sent someone to go out and call back her sons.
Of course, he didn't know that something had happened to Master Lin Wu, and the head of the Lin family had never mentioned this matter.
Master Lin Wu is just a bastard of the Lin family, not the old lady's biological son. His only value lies in working for the Lin family.
The old lady wouldn't care whether he was missing or dead.
The death of a bastard's son reduced the threat to her legitimate son, so why should she care?
I wish all the illegitimate sons would die.
It was destined to be a sleepless night at the Lin Mansion.
Everything that happened in the Lin Mansion was soon known to the other three of the four major families, including the Huai'an Palace.
As for what actions they take now and what they think, Su Yue doesn't mind at all.
All conspiracies and tricks are nothing in the face of absolute strength, just like the Lin Mansion.
The once glorious and prosperous Lin Mansion is now just an empty mansion.
Any force without the support of money is no better than ordinary people.
When Su Yue returned to Li Wang Mansion, it was almost Yin time. She tiptoed back to the bedroom, took off her coat and prepared to sneak into the bed. However, when her mental power scanned the bed and found that there was no one there, she was stunned for a moment, turned around, walked to the table and turned on the light.
She was ready to be punished by Murong Li, but he didn't come back at this time.
Su Yue was in a bad mood at the moment. She took a shower and changed into pajamas unhappily, then sat on the bed waiting for Murong Li to come back.
At the same time, his mental power spread to the Lin Mansion. Seeing the messy scene in the Lin Mansion, Su Yue admired their misery.
Tsk tsk tsk…
Su Yue was in a very unhappy mood. Now the people in the Lin family were suffering as if their parents had died just by losing their property. What would happen if they were beheaded one day?
Alas, their mental quality is still too poor. These people only care about money, and there seems to be nothing else except money.
“Crack!”
The sound of the door being pushed open brought Su Yue back to her senses. She turned around and saw Murong Li coming back exhausted.
She got up quickly.
As Murong Li entered the room, he frowned, took off his cloak and threw it on the chair, walked to the table, poured a glass of water, and drank it in two gulps.
"Does Yue'er have anything to eat?"
Murong Li seemed to have the strength to speak only after drinking a glass of water.
Su Yue nodded quickly: "Yes."
Not only that, but there was a lot more. She received a lot of food and steamed midnight snacks in the big kitchen of the Lin Mansion.
She quickly took Murong Li into the space and brought him the food.
Murong Li picked up the rice and started eating without saying a word.
Su Yue had never seen Murong Li eat so voraciously. In the past, no matter how hungry he was, he would always eat neither fast nor slow. He didn't eat as voraciously as he did now, as if he hadn't eaten for several days.
Su Yue looked at Murong Li with heartache. He had only been out for one day and he was already in such a mess.
Murong Li finished a bowl of rice very quickly. Su Yue filled another bowl for him and said with concern, "Eat slowly. There is still some rice."
Murong Li nodded and slowed down.
"belch!"
Murong Li ate three big bowls of rice, two large plates of vegetables, and a bowl of soup before he burped in satisfaction.
"Why are you so hungry?"
Su Yue couldn't help but ask.
Murong Li reclined in a chair, only now regaining some energy. He rubbed his forehead and said, "I have some important matters to attend to. I haven't eaten since I left this morning. Do you think I'm hungry?"
Su Yue: "Then go to sleep quickly. We can talk tomorrow if you have anything to say."
Murong Li waved his hand: "No problem, tell me what you did tonight?"
As soon as he came back, he heard from the secret guard that the Lin Mansion had been robbed and there was a fire.
When he came back, he saw that Su Yue was still awake. It must have been done by his Yue'er.
Su Yue pouted and told everything that happened tonight.
Murong Li said with a gloomy face: "The four major families have been jumping around for too long. It's time for them to exit the stage of history."
They actually dared to burn a shop in a busy city. They really don’t treat the capital city as the capital. Don’t they know the consequences of the fire?
The Lin family is so bold and presumptuous.
"I've moved everything from Patriarch Lin's study. There must be a lot of things you need in there. Go get some sleep first, and we'll talk tomorrow."
Su Yue saw that Murong Li was not in a good mood, so she said.
Murong Li nodded: "Okay."
The next day, the entire capital was in an uproar, with people saying that the mysterious thieves from a few years ago had come again and had emptied the Lin Mansions of the four major families overnight.
All the dignitaries were very nervous, especially the corrupt officials. They were worried when they took office, fearing that it would be their turn tonight.
The emperor did not hold court because he was in poor health. Only important matters were sent to the emperor's study, otherwise the emperor would punish them for being disrespectful in the palace.
Murong Li entered the palace early in the morning, and upon arrival the emperor asked him, "Do you know that the theft at the Lin Mansion has been resolved?"
Murong Li nodded: "It has spread throughout the capital, so naturally I know about it."
The emperor narrowed his eyes and asked, "Who do you think did this?"
The theft of the Lin Mansion reminded the emperor of the thefts that took place a few years ago in the national treasury, the imperial palace, and the homes of ministers. Even the then Crown Prince Li’s Palace and the Marquis of Anding’s Mansion were all robbed.
The thieves' modus operandi is exactly the same: mysterious, clean and efficient, leaving no trace and making it impossible to trace them.
Now the thief has come out again and reached out to the Lin family, one of the four major families.
The emperor investigated for a long time and thought a lot, and always felt that this matter was related to his son.
It should be said that it is closely related to his wife.
Since they were exiled, the two of them seemed like different people, becoming omnipotent.
As an emperor, he had the opportunity to come into contact with some low-class people. The emperor knew that there was a secret up his sleeve that could allow him to put things in and out of thin air without anyone noticing.
He felt that Su Yue was the one who understood the hidden power of the world.
Because many incredible things come from her hands.
