"Yes! I'll go right away!" This is outrageous! They actually dared to come to their mansion to steal money!
After Mo Zhu left, Yun Yuqi began to analyze:
They returned suddenly, and less than a day later, so the thief must be someone from the neighborhood.
In addition, he brought four guards with him this time. Although his guards were not martial arts masters, they were more than capable of dealing with a few petty thieves.
Now, not only did the guards not notice anyone had entered, but they also had all their money stolen.
So, this petty thief is either a martial arts master or a traitor within the family.
A thief within the family?!
Yun Yuqi thought of Lao Bai.
He remembered that he had asked Aunt Feng to drive Lao Bai away, but Aunt Feng refused.
He remembered that little girl who not only didn't call him father, but also dared to give him the cold shoulder, hit his people, and even made him pay for his meals.
Adults can pretend, but children can't.
That little girl's behavior towards him must have been influenced by Aunt Feng.
Could it be that Aunt Feng guessed that he didn't really want to take her and her daughter to the capital, but rather wanted to use them to get that man to steal all their money?
If the authorities find out that it was Aunt Feng who had his money stolen, then he... then he either has to drive Aunt Feng away or hand her over to the authorities.
Aunt Feng gave birth to a daughter for him. If he were to hand Aunt Feng over to the authorities, people would surely say he was heartless.
Since they couldn't hand them over to the authorities, they had no choice but to drive them away.
But what about his wife and children if he drives Aunt Feng away?
"Someone come here!"
A guard walked in. "Third Young Master, what are your orders?"
"Go and bring Mozhu back."
"yes."
On the rooftop, Sisi looked at Lao Bai. "Go pack your things."
"Good. This guy isn't completely stupid."
When Mo Zhu heard Yun Yuqi call him back, he thought they had caught someone. However, Yun Yuqi simply told him that they were in a hurry to return to the capital and didn't have time to waste here.
Mo Zhu wanted to say there was no need to waste time here, and that the rest could be left to the county magistrate. However, since the Third Young Master had said so, there must be a reason for it.
"Third Young Master, that thief took all our valuables. We're penniless now and can't continue our journey."
"Go and get it from Aunt Feng."
"..." He actually wants money from a concubine?! Mo Zhu was a little hesitant to speak. "Yes, sir, I'll go right away."
Aunt Feng was making breakfast for Yun Yuqi in the kitchen when Mo Zhu arrived.
Aunt Feng thought Yun Yuqi was hungry. "The food will be ready in a bit. If the Third Young Master is hungry, you can give him two eggs to tide him over. The eggs are already boiled."
Mo Zhu silently repeated "A true man can bend and stretch" three times in his heart before looking at Aunt Feng and saying, "I'm not here to urge you to eat. I... a thief broke into the front yard last night."
A thief?!
Aunt Feng's eyes widened in surprise. "This thief is incredibly audacious! Has he reported it to the authorities?"
"The Third Young Master is in a hurry to return to the capital."
"oh."
Oh, that's it? Why don't you ask us how much money we lost? And if we have any money left to continue our journey?
Aunt Feng pretended to be stupid.
Her money all belonged to her daughter, and she hadn't discussed it with her daughter yet, so she couldn't make any promises lightly. "Tell the Third Young Master that I've packed my things and am ready to leave anytime."
Mo Zhu: "..." Traveling costs money! Why don't you ask us if we have any money left?
Sisi walked in from the doorway. "Mom, I'm hungry."
"Eat an egg if you're hungry. The meal will be ready soon. Did you hear the thief break into the front yard last night?"
Sisi said, "I didn't hear you," while picking up the eggs.
When Aunt Feng saw Sisi start eating the eggs, she knew that Sisi was waiting for Mozhu to speak.
When Mo Zhu saw Aunt Feng telling Si Si that a thief had broken into the front yard, she thought Si Si would ask a few more questions, but Si Si was too busy eating eggs.
Having no other choice, Mo Zhu said directly, "The thief stole all our valuables, and we can't continue our journey. Could you give us some silver?"
Sisi nodded.
Seeing that Sisi nodded, Aunt Feng said, "Why not? I'll go get it for you."
A moment later, Aunt Feng returned with a purse. "Here, this is our monthly allowance. I was originally planning to save it for Sisi's dowry."
When the Yun family sent the mother and daughter back home, they gave them ten years' worth of monthly allowance.
Mo Zhu also knew about this.
Mo Zhu took the silver and was about to thank Aunt Feng when the silver disappeared.
Sisi held the purse and said, "This is my dowry. What if you squander it? You'll just need to eat something while you're on your journey, right? I'll take care of it."
If we give them this silver, then Old Bai's efforts last night were all for nothing.
Aunt Feng: "..." That's true, we're just traveling and need to eat. "You child, quickly give the money to Mozhu."
Mo Zhu: "..." How can this child be so greedy? "Young Miss, don't worry. Once we return to the capital, the Third Young Master will definitely return the money to you."
Sisi stuffed the silver into her bosom. "Why should I trust you? I don't even know you."
Aunt Feng: "You child, the Third Young Master is your father."
Sisi: "That's why I said I'd feed them."
Aunt Feng looked at Mo Zhu.
"I've spoiled this child rotten, don't you think?"
Mo Zhu was extremely frustrated! "You go ahead with your work, I'll go back and talk to the Third Young Master."
"Okay. I'll try to persuade her again."
After Mo Zhu told Yun Yuqi what Si Si had said, Yun Yuqi felt even more strongly that what happened last night was instigated by Aunt Feng to do Lao Bai Gan's work, and that Aunt Feng wanted him to get rid of her.
