Chapter 815
Madam Zhou approached, her face stern: "Madam has ordered that you must cooperate with the Prince's Mansion's investigation. Anyone who disobeys will be punished for disobeying Madam's orders!"
Upon hearing this, the people behind Granny Li immediately put down what they were holding.
They knew very well that it was Zheng who was in charge of distributing their money in this mansion.
While it's important to support the old lady, they all have elderly parents and young children to care for, so it's definitely not acceptable to involve their interests.
Granny Li turned around and looked around, her face turning extremely ugly: "You bunch of spineless cowards! It's just a few taels of silver, look at your cowardly appearance!"
As soon as Granny Li finished speaking, everyone took a few steps back.
If you're not a coward, then go for it.
But how could Granny Li possibly withstand so many menacing guards from the Prince's mansion, all armed with weapons?
Zhou's mother stepped into the courtyard, and the people from the Prince's Mansion followed her in.
As soon as they entered the courtyard, they began to search in all directions.
Granny Li looked unpleasant. Seeing that no one was paying attention to her for the time being, she prepared to turn around and leave.
As soon as she made a move, she heard Zhou's mother's voice: "Old Lady Li, where are you going?"
Granny Li froze, turned her head, and squeezed out a sentence through gritted teeth: "I—I'm going out for a walk."
It's really bad luck. The people outside just delivered the things in today, and she has to hurry up and send them out, otherwise, if she gets blamed for this, it will be a real problem!
"Didn't you just refuse to let anyone search us? Why do you want to go out now? Aren't you going to keep an eye on things? What if you break something?" Zhou's mother looked at her with a half-smile.
At this point, the already strained smile on Granny Li's face almost completely collapsed.
Granny Li cursed inwardly. This time, her mother-in-law was truly siding with outsiders against her. Had she lost her mind?!
Despite cursing inwardly, Granny Li remained calm on the surface: "What can I do? They've already come in and searched. What can this old woman do? Go ahead and search. What does it matter if I'm not here? It'll be even easier for you to take action, won't it?"
Zhou's mother remained silent, but walked towards her with a smile and stopped in front of her.
Just as Granny Li was wondering what kind of trick Zhou Mama was up to, someone suddenly grabbed Granny Li's arm.
Then two old women came up and actually searched her body!
"What are you trying to do?!"
Granny Li struggled fiercely, and Mother Zhou glanced at her and said casually, "Granny Li, you'd better be careful. You're getting old now, and your arms and legs can't take any more strain."
That old woman Li really can't keep secrets.
If she had just stood there and not moved, probably no one would have noticed anything amiss, let alone come up and search her.
While they were talking, one of the old women touched Li's crotch and gently pinched it. Realizing that the feel was wrong, she exchanged a glance with another old woman and then helped Li away.
A moment later, an old woman came out, holding up a small oil paper package: "Found it!"
Behind her, Granny Li was dragged out by another old woman like a lump of mud, her face ashen.
