Chapter 258 Burglary



A housekeeper who has the guts to yell at her is simply infuriating...

Tian You's face turned pale, and he didn't continue to intervene. He just ordered: "Alright, everyone, stop grabbing the banknotes here, and leave!"

The housekeeper sneered, "Madam Tian, ​​what's lost is 10,000 to 20,000 taels of silver. The amount involved is quite large. If you leave now, it will easily make people suspect that you are afraid of being investigated. You are guilty!"

Tian You didn't want to say anything at all. He got on the carriage anxiously and kept urging the servants: "Hurry up, hurry up!"

The carriage started moving and the butler stopped trying to stop it. He just said "Pooh" in disgust at where Tian You was.

The carriage wobbled away, and the setting sun gradually shone in the sky. The residence that Ni Gaofei gave her was in a remote location because he didn't want to see her walking around the capital city casually again.

When they arrived at the residence, it was already dark. The servants began to arrange for Tian You to put his things in place. Tian You looked around, sighed, and went into the room.

The servants brought her a wooden bucket, and Tian You began to bathe. There was no one else in the room. Tian You felt the water temperature was getting lower and lower, and she felt a little cold. She reached out to take a dry towel to wipe her body, but found that there was none around.

"Someone, bring me a dry towel!"

But after a long time without a response, Tian You frowned, with a hint of anger in his eyes: "Where are all the dead people?"

But after shouting for a long time, no one responded to her. Tian You felt a little unhappy and was about to get up with her wet body. The door outside was opened and Tian You sat back down unhappily.

"Where are all the dead people? Come here quickly!"

The man slowly approached Tian You without saying a word. Tian You turned around curiously, but he didn't expect that the person who came in was wearing a veil and a black nightgown.

Tian You frowned and looked at him: "You, who are you?"

"The one who wants your life!"

The other party's voice came out coldly, and the blade in his hand was raised. A cold light flashed. Tian You widened his eyes in horror, and blood flowed from his neck. Tian You covered his neck and looked at him in horror: "Who are you..."

She struggled in the wooden barrel, and her blood dyed the water in the barrel red. The man in black coldly withdrew his gaze and began to search the room for items.

The next day, the servants who had been knocked unconscious in the house woke up and found Tian You dead in a bucket. His body was already cold and stiff. Tian You's room was in a mess and all the valuables had been looted.

The servants were so frightened that they ran out and shouted, "Oh no! Oh no! Aunt Tian has been killed!"

The servant screamed in fear, attracting other servants. When they saw Tian You dead in the room, their faces changed dramatically: "Report, report to the authorities!"

A servant hurried to the prime minister's residence, "It's bad, Master, it's bad."

Ni Gaofei hadn't left the court yet, so the servants had no choice but to report the news to Miao Yuan first. When Miao Yuan heard the news, she just coughed hard behind the bed curtains, "I will have someone report this to the master, but you seem to have forgotten that you are no longer in the Prime Minister's residence. Isn't it against the rules to come here when something happened?"

The servant was stunned: "But, Aunt Tian's son is still the young master of the Prime Minister's Mansion after all!"

"Please go back. If there's a murder, report it to the authorities. Our lady will have someone report your master's affairs to the master."

The servants could tell that they were being driven away.

The servant understood and withdrew and left.

The government officials went to check the situation in the house and concluded that it was a burglary case. Tian You was not knocked unconscious, so he was killed.

When Ni Gaofei returned from court, he heard that Tian You had been murdered. Ni Gaofei was very surprised: "What happened?"

"Master, the government investigation said that someone coveted Concubine Tian's money and had evil intentions. Concubine Tian was unlucky. She was not knocked unconscious, but was spotted by the criminals and was brutally silenced..."

Ni Gaofei frowned as he looked at the servant who reported the incident. "All the money was taken? Is this a case decided by the government?"

"Exactly."

Ni Gaofei had a complicated expression and waved his hand: "I understand, please leave."

After the servants left, just before noon, Ren Mei came to Ni Yueshan's room and brought her some clothes to change into. "Miss, Aunt Tian was murdered. From now on, there is one less person who wants to oppose you."

"Tian You is dead?" Ni Yueshan was filled with surprise. How could he die so easily...

"Yes, it was a thief who broke into the house and stole. Madam Tian's death was her own fault. She exposed her money at the gate of the Prime Minister's Mansion, and many people knew that Madam Tian was moving to a house near the city."

"That's what gives thieves a plan and the courage to steal the money!"

Ni Yueshan looked at her, frowning tightly. "Do you think Aunt Tian's death was really murdered by thieves?"

Ren Mei scratched her head in confusion: "Don't you think so, Miss?"

Ni Yueshan was just a little surprised that Tian You turned out to be such a short-lived person...

"Is the young lady here?" A familiar voice sounded outside the door. Ni Yueshan turned around and saw the housekeeper walking in with a smile. "Greetings, young lady. There's no need to copy any more female virtues. The master said personally that you are free and will be in charge of the affairs of the mansion from now on."

Surprise flashed in Ni Yueshan's eyes. Why was she the one who benefited?

Her guess was increasingly confirmed!

"Thank you for the information, butler. It seems you are injured. You should rest more."

"Thank you for your concern, Miss. I will give you the key."
