Mu Baodi was brought back to the Yuan Mansion, and no one in the Yuan family, including herself, was happy.

Old Madam Yuan also instructed the maids and servants not to bother with Mu Baodi unless necessary, just to make her suffer a little. They also had to keep an eye on the people around her and not send any letters to the Mu family.

After doing all this, Old Madam Yuan felt a little relieved.

Yuan Sishan sat in the front hall, listening to his mother's instructions without saying a word, basically acquiescing.

He was still thinking about what to do with the lost things. Although he had sent people to the farm to fetch more, he still felt very sad.

Fortunately, Mu Liangze kept his word and had someone deliver the banknotes and the shop.

Old Madam Yuan curled her lips and said, "That's better. Otherwise, who would want someone like Mu?"

Yuan Sishan stood up and said, "I'll go to the shop and take a look."

"Go quickly and replace the people in the shop with our own," said Old Madam Yuan, "and check the inventory and accounts. We are truly in control of it."

Yuan Sishan nodded, turned and walked out. Before he went down the stairs, one of his servants hurried in, followed by a man.

Yuan Sishan was puzzled: "Didn't I tell you to go to the farm to get something? Why are you back so soon?"

The servant replied, "Sir, I met Manager Yuan before I even got to the farm."

Manager Yuan followed, his forehead was covered in sweat and his face looked bad.

He was Yuan Sishan's cousin, and they had a good relationship and he was trustworthy, so he was made a manager on the farm.

"Sishan," Manager Yuan said quickly, "something happened at the manor."

"What happened?" Yuan Sishan's heart skipped a beat.

"The warehouse, everything in the warehouse is gone!" Manager Yuan stamped his feet. "I checked before, and everything was fine. The guards on the farm were also there, but no one said they saw anything."

"This is really hell!"

Yuan Sishan was shocked and angry: "All gone? Everything is gone?"

"Food, medicinal herbs, and fruit," Manager Yuan pursed his lips and added, "Even the big jars for storing fruit are gone."

Yuan Sishan: “…” Whose thief would steal the jar as well?

"Except for a few broken pieces of furniture, everything else is gone!" Butler Yuan said cruelly and clearly.

Yuan Sishan felt dizzy and his body swayed.

Old Madam Yuan was also extremely anxious: "How could it be gone? What are all of you doing with so many people?"

Butler Yuan knew he was in the wrong, so he couldn't refute it. Old Madam Yuan stared at him and thought, "Could it be that you are stealing from the company?"

Manager Yuan knelt down quickly and said, "What are you talking about? I am the only manager in the manor, and there are so many people watching. Don't say I can't do anything. Even if I could, I know how you and Sishan have treated me over the years. I am very grateful."

"I took a big risk to steal once. If I was found out, not only would I lose my job, but I would also have to go to jail. How could I not settle this account?"

Manager Yuan knew exactly what kind of people the mother and son of the Yuan family were, so he simply explained it in a vulgar way so that they would believe it.

Old Madam Yuan's expression eased a little, and Yuan Sishan nodded.

Indeed, if it comes to stealing something, getting some benefits, and keeping something behind the scenes, he absolutely believes it, but if it is really stealing, and stealing so cleanly, Butler Yuan is not stupid and will not do this.

Manager Zhao's eyes rolled around, and he came up to Old Madam Yuan and said, "Sister, this is very strange! Something was lost in our house, and something was lost in the farm too. How could such a thing happen in the world?"

Old Madam Yuan's eyelids twitched: "What do you mean? Are you saying..."

Manager Zhao pointed towards the courtyard where Mu Baodi lived.

He didn't say it, but it was more powerful than if he had said it.

Old Madam Yuan and Yuan Sishan both believed that it was Mu Baodi who affected their fortunes.

"Okay, this jinx! He was so kind to take her back, but he actually cheated our Yuan family like this."

Old Madam Yuan was rushing to look for Mu Baodi, but she had only taken a few steps when another servant came running in in a hurry.

"Madam, sir, something bad has happened!"

"It's bad, it's bad," Yuan Sishan was furious and slapped the servant twice, "I'm fine here, why is it that I'm not fine?"

The servant was beaten, lowered his head, and whispered: "I said something wrong."

"What's the matter? Tell me!"

"An old man came to the door with his son, saying he wanted to find his goddaughter."

Yuan Sishan was puzzled: "What goddaughter? What does it have to do with my Yuan family?"

"Master, the goddaughter he is looking for is... Xiao Ye'er who died a few days ago."

Yuan Sishan was stunned and his heart skipped a beat.

Old Madam Yuan also stopped walking, the wrinkles on her old face tightened by three points, she looked at Yuan Sishan and whispered: "Didn't they say Xiao Ye'er is an orphan with no one at home?"

Uncle Yuan was confused: "I don't know."

He waved his hand and said, "Tell someone to chase them away!"

Outside the door, the abbot put his hands in his pockets and said, "Although this cotton-padded jacket looks tattered, it is actually quite warm to wear."

Beibei supported him beside him and whispered, "Abbot, we have to behave well. The princess is still watching us over there."

The abbot glanced at the side of the road and saw Feng Shao, the driver of a carriage parked not far away, with a whip in his hands, looking at this side with great interest.

Yan Ruyu and Huo Changhe were in the car. Linlang was sitting at the back of the car, holding a candied haws in one hand, leaning against the car, eating and looking at the others.

Beibei pursed her lips and said, "This job was won by Fengshao and I playing rock-paper-scissors. We have to perform well."

The abbot raised his eyebrows and said, "Don't worry, I won't say anything."

As soon as the two men finished speaking, several servants came out, stood in front of the door with an aggressive look, pointed at them and cursed.

"Where did this ignorant bastard come from? How dare you come to Yuan's house to cause trouble? Get lost!"

"Go away, or I'll kill you!"

Yan Ruyu heard it clearly in the carriage, her face darkened: "The Yuan family is so powerful, a merchant can easily threaten to beat someone to death."

Huo Changhe snorted coldly: "It's not surprising that a vicious man like him can do anything."

"If we really use force, I'm afraid the abbot will get hurt. Beibei's moves..."

Yan Ruyu said, "Your Highness, you don't know, right? Beibei and the others have a good relationship, but they also have a competitive spirit. They practice together every day, and Ma Liyu is their teacher."

"Ma Liyu?" Huo Changhe was slightly surprised. "He's the one who trained the Royal Guards."

"So, Beibei has regular training and Yinding's guidance when he's free, so he has some skills now."

They all had some basic skills, and they often went out on missions. Yan Ruyu had long told them to practice more when they had nothing to do and not to slack off, even if it was to save their own lives at critical moments.

Several people treated them strictly, and before they knew it, their skills had improved a lot.

As soon as he finished speaking, a quarrel broke out outside.

Bei Bei grabbed the wrist of a servant who was about to push the abbot and said, "Don't touch my father!"

"Let me tell you, we are not here to cause trouble. We are here to look for my sister Xiaoye. We already knew before we came that my sister is working here."

"If you dare to stop us from seeing each other, we will report to the police!"
