Chapter 193 Cannon Fodder Lady's Counterattack 10
They both frowned at the same time.
"What happened? Don't scare the baby in the concubine's belly." Xiao Heng frowned. He especially didn't like to hear others say the word "something happened". He always felt that bad luck was coming again.
The butler had served in the palace for so many years and had rarely experienced such things, so it was inevitable that he was a little nervous. When he heard Xiao Heng mention that Tong was pregnant, the butler was not in the mood to say congratulations, and quickly told him what had happened.
"Your Majesty, the warehouse has been taken."
"What?"
Xiao Heng suspected he had misheard. The warehouse had been raided? How was that possible? He knew how many people were outside the warehouse. Even if someone was raiding the warehouse, there would be no noise at all.
The butler knew what he was thinking. Although he was also confused, the facts were now before his eyes and they could not help but believe it.
"The warehouse was robbed." The butler continued to emphasize.
Xiao Heng closed his eyes, feeling that things were not as simple as the housekeeper said. "How much is the loss?"
"All...all of it."
When he said these two words, the butler felt that he could die. After all, the warehouse was stolen and he, as the butler, was responsible.
"How is that possible? With so many people guarding the warehouse, who could have moved everything out without being discovered?"
Tong was extremely excited. She was now pregnant with Xiao Heng's child, and Xiao Heng also agreed to let her unborn child be the crown prince. In her opinion, everything in the palace would belong to her and her son in the future.
Now the housekeeper came to tell her that all those things were gone and had been stolen. Of course she couldn't accept it.
Tong's aggressiveness and Xiao Heng's oppressive gaze on the old butler caused beads of sweat to flow down his forehead. His words lacked any momentum. "I don't know, but the warehouse is indeed empty now."
"Useless! Check it out! I'll have to dig three feet deep to find that thief. I want to see who could have taken all the stuff away from under the noses of so many people."
For a moment, Xiao Heng thought of the man who beat him up, but even if that man beat him up without anyone noticing, there were so many things in the warehouse that he couldn't get rid of them, right?
This thought flashed through his mind, and Xiao Heng kicked this possibility out of his mind.
In fact, there was another reason why he didn't want to believe that the mysterious man had taken away the things in the warehouse. If those things were moved away by the guards working together, he might still be able to get them back.
But if it was really taken away by the mysterious person, there would be no possibility of recovering his full warehouse of things.
"Yes, sir."
Just over a month had passed, and the guards in the palace were already busy again, as if the emperor had been assassinated.
But the result disappointed everyone. Even though they turned the palace upside down, they still didn't find anything.
Those guarding the warehouse were severely tortured, and no one admitted that they had anything to do with it.
After more than ten days of investigation, the matter gradually came to an end. There was no way it would be settled if it didn't end. Those things had already been put into Luo An's Qiankun bag. It would be strange if they could find them.
During this period, Xiao Heng didn't know how many things he had smashed. Especially after he found out that things were also lost in the study, he was never in a good mood.
He thought of all the people who could do this, especially his brothers, but after observing for a long time, he didn't see anything unusual.
Even so, he never let go of the worry he had raised. If those things fell into the eyes of his other brothers or his father, he would probably have no chance of living.
With such a big thing happening, the joy brought by Tong's pregnancy was no longer noticeable. She didn't even have the mood to comfort her and just drove her away in annoyance.
Not only did she not get what she was supposed to get, but she was also very angry. Tong returned to her yard in a rage, sat on the dressing table, looked at herself in the mirror, and saw that her face had pimples due to pregnancy, and threw the bronze mirror to the ground.
In the past, she would take everything Xiao Heng said seriously, but what happened today made her feel that everything was not like that at all. Although she and her child could compare to that bitch Luo An, they were not as good as the things in Xiao Heng's warehouse.
Whenever Tong thought of Xiao Heng telling her to get out, she felt like crying.
The maids waited until she had vented enough before removing the jewelry on her head. They didn't dare to say a word the whole time until they found that the jewelry box was empty. Then they couldn't help but scream and accidentally pulled Tong's hair.
With a slap, Tong was just looking for a reason to vent her anger when someone came to her door. Of course, she didn't show any mercy. "You can't even do such a small thing. Do you want to die?"
"No, Fu Jin, there's a thief."
How could Tong Shi be so intolerant of the word "thief" now? She slapped him again, "What are you talking about?"
The nanny saw everything and went to check the contents of the jewelry box immediately, but she did not stop Tong immediately.
It is obvious that the other party is in a bad mood. If the master is not allowed to vent his anger at this time, who knows who will be in trouble.
I would rather die than let my friend die.
Seeing that Tong's anger was almost over, the nanny reached out to stop the man, "Madam, it's really been robbed. Everything in the jewelry box is gone."
Hearing this, Tong turned to look at the jewelry box. As expected, there was nothing inside. Thinking of the stolen warehouse, Tong immediately asked someone to check if the other things were still there.
The result was obvious. Except for some junk, everything else was taken away by Luo An and turned into a pile of points.
"Ahhh! Who on earth did this?!"
Tong was going crazy! Many of these things were things her mother had prepared for her since she was a child, and now they were all gone. "Investigate! If you don't find out who did this, you will all pay with your lives!"
Xiao Heng and Tong Shi made a big move. The other women in the backyard all had their own spies, and they found out everything in no time.
Although the noise was so loud that it made them a little nervous, they were ultimately more gloating than afraid, especially Concubine Liu. When she learned that Tong was pregnant, she was so angry that she spent a long time in the room thinking about how to get rid of the baby in Tong's belly. Then she heard that Tong's anger was harmful to her health and she showed signs of miscarriage, so the doctor asked her to stay in bed to take care of the baby.
Liu was so happy that she ate a few more bowls of rice in the evening.
"Fujin, the woman is having a miscarriage. The imperial physician came over this morning."
After much difficulty in getting the news, Madam Liu immediately ran to Luo An to claim credit for it.
