On her wedding night, she went into exile with her pharmacy arsenal

Yuan Sishan hurried to the rockery warehouse, and looking at the empty warehouse, his mind went blank for a moment.

This warehouse is empty, and even the words spoken have an echo.

Butler Zhao cleared his throat and was about to say something when he was startled by the echo.

"How could this happen?" Yuan Sishan came back to his senses after a while, "Where is the thing? How come it's gone?"

He glared at Butler Zhao: "How did you see that?"

Butler Zhao was complaining in his heart and felt a little guilty. He had recently met a young widow and was going very well with her. He didn't need to go to a brothel and attract attention and spend a lot of money, nor did he need to keep a mistress and be discovered by his wife at home. All he had to do was to coax her well and bring some benefits every now and then, and she would serve him very well.

He often went to the widow's house at night and didn't bother to keep watch.

The main thing is that the warehouse is located in a rockery and not many people know about it. Besides, even if someone stole it, they would only steal one or two bags. How could they empty the entire warehouse like this?

The Yuan Mansion is so big that if so many things were moved out, no one would notice unless everyone in the mansion was blind and deaf.

Manager Zhao certainly wouldn't take the blame on himself. He rolled his eyes and whispered, "Master, I think this is a bit strange."

Yuan Sishan had no place to vent his anger and was heartbroken. So many high-quality medicinal herbs were worth a lot of money!

Seeing the flickering look in Manager Zhao's eyes, he became even angrier: "What's so strange? What's so strange!"

Butler Zhao swallowed his saliva and whispered, "Do you remember? The master once said that a woman born in the Year of the Snake will conflict with you and will affect the fortune of your family."

Yuan Sishan's eyebrows jumped: "What you mean is..."

"You were going to pick up that woman today, and the warehouse was immediately empty. It's not such a coincidence."

Yuan Sishan had a gloomy face and said nothing, obviously he had heard what had happened.

Butler Zhao quickly added: "That woman is too unlucky. She is unlucky in everything. She just came home a few days ago and killed her stepmother."

"This... you have to be on guard."

Yuan Sishan's heart was pounding: "Defense? How to defend?"

"Can't we just not pick her up?" Butler Zhao glanced at the warehouse and said with a sad face, "She hasn't even come back yet and this has happened. If she comes back..."

Yuan Sishan was annoyed: "If I don't come back, Mu Liangze won't agree. He has soldiers under his command. Let alone accusing me of a crime, I can't stand it even if he sends people to cause trouble all day long."

Yuan Sishan gritted his teeth: "Who told me I'm just a merchant!"

Butler Zhao thought for a moment and said, "Then...are we just going to let them harm you?"

Yuan Sishan clenched his back teeth, his chest filled with anger.

Butler Zhao lowered his voice very low: "How about..."

He hesitated and didn't dare to speak. Yuan Sishan looked at him askance: "What do you want to say?"

Butler Zhao touched his nose, feeling secretly dissatisfied. He was obviously the uncle, and Yuan Sishan, the nephew, should respect him, but it was the other way around, and he was afraid of him.

"It's nothing, actually. I just think that a concubine named Zhou fell into the lake and drowned. That was just an accident. People are subject to misfortunes at any time. Who knows what will happen?"

Yuan Sishan’s mind suddenly became clear—yes, if others could have accidents, why couldn’t she, Mu Baodi?

Then he thought again: "No, if something happens to her, Mu Liangze will not let me go."

Butler Zhao said quickly: "Mu Liangze is not the only one who is in charge of Youcheng. He is just a small lieutenant general, and there are many people who are more powerful than him."

Yuan Sishan held onto the mountain wall. Those were all things of the future. The current situation was enough to worry him.

People still have to go and pick it up, but lost items also have to be found.

"Gather all the servants in the mansion, and you lead them to investigate. With so many things leaving the mansion, is there no clue at all? That would be a miracle!"

After he said that, he turned and walked out, heading to the Mu Mansion angrily.

Mu Baodi had given up struggling and fighting. She could see that Mu Liangze had made up his mind. She was the daughter of the Mu family and had been injured, so she could not fight him at all.

I heard that when Yuan Sishan came, she didn't open her eyes, nor did she wash or change her clothes. She was just carried to the front hall to meet someone.

Mu Liangze has now regained his composure, as if it was not him who threatened Yuan Sishan last night.

Yuan Sishan was filled with anger and tried to force a smile, but after trying for a long time he failed and had to give up.

When he saw Mu Baodi being carried out with a quilt wrapped around her, her hair disheveled and no makeup on, his face turned even darker.

Mu Liangze didn't care about these things. He just wanted to send people there and directly asked people to carry Mu Baodi onto the carriage.

Yuan Sishan didn't want to stay any longer, so he turned around and left.

Yan Ruyu was sitting in a carriage at the street corner. When she saw Yuan Sishan coming out of the Mu Mansion, her face turned as black as the bottom of a pot.

Huo Changhe asked: "Guess how Mu Liangze will make Yuan Sishan die?"

Yan Ruyu lowered the curtain: "It should be to create some kind of accident, such as going out to do something and startling the carriage, or something like that."

"Poisoning is unlikely, and it will be easily exposed. If the Yuan family suspects Mu Baodi, and then someone investigates and files a lawsuit, it will be troublesome."

"He wants to take over the Yuan family quickly, so he can't possibly cause himself this kind of trouble."

Huo Changhe nodded: "He has people under him, it's not difficult to create some accidents."

Yan Ruyu slowly ate a slice of roasted orange: "Then let's make his wish come to nothing and kill two birds with one stone."

Huo Changhe's eyes flashed with a smile: "Yu'er, this is not killing two birds with one stone, but three birds with one stone."

Yan Ruyu's eyebrows curved slightly: "That's true."

Yuan Sishan sat in the carriage, smelling the unpleasant odor coming from Mu Baodi, and his disgust grew even stronger.

Mu Baodi closed her eyes and didn't say a word since she saw him.

Seeing her like this, Yuan Sishan couldn't help but feel itchy in his hands and feet. He kicked her with his toes, not caring where he kicked, and said angrily in a low voice: "Don't think that just because I am willing to take you back, it means I don't care about what happened before! If your father hadn't begged me, I wouldn't want you anymore!"

He couldn't move much on the carriage, but he used a lot of force. Mu Baodi's face turned pale with pain. She opened her eyes and said, "Then you should have held on. Why did you listen to him?"

Yuan Sishan grabbed her hair and said, "Who told me not to give up those silver shops? If I can exchange you for those things, I will reluctantly accept it."

"Don't expect you to get any good treatment. Go back to the side yard and stay there honestly. It has nothing to do with you whether I take a concubine or favor someone!"

Mu Baodi was grabbed by the hair and forced to raise her head, with a scornful smile on her face: "Okay, it doesn't matter where I am. But even if you take a concubine, who will you favor? Can you... do it?"

The muscles on Yuan Sishan's face twitched a few times, his eyes turned red, he clenched his hands vigorously, and then slapped her several times.

Mu Baodi's face swelled up immediately and blood oozed from the corners of her mouth.

"If you dare to laugh at me again, I will smack your face. Although you are not beautiful, I don't mind making you uglier."

A look of panic flashed across Mu Baodi's eyes.
