The Li family enjoyed a few good years thanks to angelica.
It is often said that it is easy to go from simplicity to luxury, but difficult to go from luxury to simplicity.
Having endured hardship for so long, Feng Shi and Feng Yu valued money above all else; the little they had was all obtained by squeezing money from Bai Zhi.
Now that it had suddenly been stolen, they couldn't accept it at all. As she ran forward, Madam Feng cursed loudly.
"Which bastard stole my things?"
Not afraid of losing hands, feet, or rotting anus...................
Madam Feng returned to her courtyard, cursing and swearing. When she saw the empty jewelry box and the bare storeroom, she fainted.
Feng Yu wasn't doing much better; however, instead of fainting, she stumbled and ran towards the study.
"Master...Master...the house has been burgled..."
Looking at the empty study, Li Ming almost fainted from exhaustion.
After looking at the study, he went to look at the storeroom.
"Someone! Go report to the authorities! Go report to the authorities immediately!"
The butler looked at Li Ming with some difficulty.
"Sir, you seem to be that official..."
Li Ming rubbed his aching forehead and gave instructions to the servant beside him.
"Go and summon the clerk, and tell him to close the city gates so we can trap him like a turtle in a jar."
A lot of things were stolen from this mansion last night. These things are definitely still in the city. As long as we search carefully, we're sure we can catch the thieves.
Just as the messenger left, Madam Feng, who had woken up, ran over. She was about to go to Li Ming to complain about her storeroom when she heard that the mansion's main storeroom was also empty.
This made Mrs. Feng even angrier, and she started cursing again.
Feng Yu frowned.
"Mother, I think Bai Zhi must have done this."
Otherwise, who could move so much stuff away so quietly?
But ghosts can..................”
Feng nodded in strong agreement.
"Yes, it was Bai Zhi, that jinx, who did it. I need to find a high monk to perform a ritual so that he will never be reincarnated."
"A jinx? Who said my Bai-jie is a jinx?"
As soon as Madam Feng finished speaking, Ning Bao and Bai Ming, along with the bodyguards and a group of bolder women, walked in.
......................
When Li Ming and Bai Zhi got married, Bai Ming had not yet returned home. Since the marriage, Li Ming had been serving in another place and had never visited the Bai residence.
So even though he and Bai Zhi had been married for several years, he had never seen Bai Ming.
"Sir, there are too many of them, I couldn't stop them." The Li family's gatekeeper also hurriedly followed.
The manor was in chaos early this morning. All the servants had been called away to catch thieves, and there was only a gatekeeper at the entrance with no guards. Ning Bao and the others easily broke in.
Upon seeing a group of strangers barge in, Li Ming immediately adopted the demeanor of a prefect with a cold expression.
Who are you people?
How dare they trespass on the residence of an official appointed by the imperial court?
Before Bai Ming and Ning Bao could speak, the first woman who was watching the commotion whispered to herself,
"Oh my! This is hilarious! This prefect doesn't even recognize his own brother-in-law?"
Although these women had mustered the courage to come in and watch the excitement, they dared not openly oppose Li Ming.
After all, Li Ming is an official, and they are ordinary citizens; the saying "the common people don't fight against officials" still holds some truth.
