There are two people in Madam Shen's house who are responsible for delivering letters. Usually, they take the letter given to them by Madam Shen and then send it outside the house to the person who is specifically responsible for delivering letters.

This job can be done by one person, but in case something happens, two people can have a replacement so that Mrs. Shen's letter will not be left undelivered.

But even so, something went wrong.

Nanny Yang came into the room to answer but didn't bring anyone with her.

"What about people?"

"My lady, one of them is sick and the other is out of town."

"Leaving the house? Did he say what he was going to do?" Mrs. Shen was suspicious and couldn't help but suspect that the person who left the house was taken away by Shen Wenqi.

"He was talking about going out to buy things. He also took care of the buying work for the mansion."

Yan Ruyu said, "Miss Jiang, you can put this matter aside for now and investigate it secretly later. Since he has left the house, go check your dowry."

Madam Shen's face changed slightly, and she looked a little embarrassed: "Mammy, go get my spare key."

Jiang Tangli was surprised: "Spare key?"

Mrs. Shen laughed at herself, "To be honest, ever since we started trying to have a child, he has been less and less involved in the family affairs, saying that he wanted me to rest and take care of my health. After I became pregnant, he stopped caring about anything except the things in this yard."

"He also has the key to the warehouse. I'm not afraid of you laughing at me if I tell you this, but it turns out he doesn't even have a spare key. I lost my key once, so I got a new one. I didn't mean to do it, but I actually used it this time."

As they were talking, Nanny Yang brought the key over. Madam Shen looked at the key in her palm and sighed in a low voice: "Am I not like this key? It looks the same as the original one, but it is not the original one at all."

"Go check it out, and be careful."

Nanny Yang bowed and took the key to check.

She was an old lady who came along and she knew what the valuable things were without a list.

Yan Ruyu was not optimistic. Shen Wenqi had just tried to stop him and then hurried out of the house. She was afraid that he had not only used the things in the warehouse, but also used a lot of them.

He didn't want to have children with his wife, so he secretly used the money. What did he do? The answer is obvious.

She glanced at Mrs. Shen and said nothing.

……

As soon as Shen Wenqi walked out of the house, Feng Shao and Bei Bei followed.

Feng Shao was pushing a small truck at a leisurely pace, while Bei Bei was carrying a straw man with a dozen strings of candied haws stuck on it.

I thought I had to walk a long way, but it turned out to be just across the street, two alleys away.

There is a small house with a black door and a golden copper ring, and there are two small auspicious beasts in front of the door.

There was a little boy, about two or three years old, playing next to the auspicious beast, with an old woman beside him.

Seeing Shen Wenqi, the little boy stood up and opened his arms: "Hug~"

Shen Wenqi leaned over and hugged him, then turned around twice, making the little boy laugh.

He turned around and saw Beibei carrying the candied haws, and opened his hands: "I want it~"

Beibei ran over quickly, smiling: "Little man, would you like a bunch? It's very sweet."

The little boy didn't say anything, just stretched out his hands to reach for it. Shen Wenqi smiled and said, "Give me two skewers."

"Okay!" Beibei put down the straw man, plucked two of the largest and reddest bunches from it and handed them over.

"You are so cute, little boy," Beibei said with a smile, "Are your teeth all grown?"

"The young man has a strong and handsome face. He looks like a blessed man. He has the demeanor of a general. He looks exactly like you!"

After a few compliments, Shen Wenqi was also very happy.

Beibei had a smile on her face, but her heart skipped a beat. The man didn't deny it. Was the child really his?

Pooh!Scumbag.

Feng Shao pushed a small truck past, shouting something, and placed a cloth tiger in a conspicuous place.

When the little boy saw the little tiger, his eyes lit up and he grabbed his hands towards the little tiger again.

Shen Wenqi called Feng Shao to stop, and the old woman also stepped forward and said, "This morning my wife said she would buy some colored silk threads to embroider a purse for you. What a coincidence."

Shen Wenqi nodded, picked up the little tiger and teased the child, while the old woman was picking silk thread beside her.

Beibei didn't stay long. He carried the straw man on his back and walked slowly forward.

Feng Shao laughed and said, "This little tiger was made by my wife herself. Look how well it is made. It is delicate and soft."

"Little Master, how old are you? You look about the same age as my son, but you look much more noble than my son."

Shen Wenqi held the child in her arms, her eyes unable to hide her smile: "Three years old."

Feng Xiao glanced towards the door. It was half-open and he couldn't see anything. He didn't dare to look any further.

The old woman paid the money, and Fengshao pushed the pickup truck away and met Beibei at the corner, continuing to stare.

Shen Wenqi entered the small house and the old woman closed the door.

He carried the child into the room. The room was warm and fragrant. A woman in a lotus pink dress was sitting on a beauty couch, sewing small clothes.

Seeing Shen Wenqi coming in with a child in her arms, with a little tiger in the child's arms, she scolded: "How many little tigers are there at home? You just spoil him."

As she was about to stand up, Shen Wenqi held the child in one hand and pressed her shoulder with the other.

"Hurry up and sit down. If Zhuo'er likes it, buy it for him." Shen Wenqi put the child down and said, "Go and play."

The old woman came forward and took the child away. Shen Wenqi took a look at the little clothes and asked, "Why are you doing it now? Isn't it too early?"

The woman stroked her pregnant belly and said, "Get it ready early, otherwise it will be difficult to do it when the month is too late."

"What's the big deal? We still have Wang Ma."

"How can I do that? I have to make the child's first dress myself," the woman said with a gentle look, "Why are you here now? Didn't you say you had something to do in the next two days and wouldn't come?"

"There was an emergency," Shen Wenqi pursed her lips, finding it difficult to speak.

"What's wrong? Tell me."

"She suddenly wanted to check the warehouse. You know, the things in there..."

The woman was stunned.

……

After hearing what Nanny Yang said, Mrs. Shen felt a buzzing in her ears and her vision went dark.

"What did you say?"

Madam Yang's face was pale, and her voice was filled with tears: "In the storeroom, your dowry, apart from some not-so-valuable bowls and tea sets, there is basically nothing valuable left."

Mrs. Shen wanted to stand up, but felt dizzy again, so Jiang Tangli quickly supported her.

"Third sister, please don't get angry and hurt yourself. They are just some material possessions. If we can't get them back, we don't need them. Your health is more important."

Mrs. Shen gritted her teeth slightly: "You don't know, there is also a box of calligraphy and paintings, and a set of out-of-print ancient books given to me by my grandfather."

Jiang Tangli opened her eyes slightly. Any other valuables would be fine, but something like this must have been taken out from the Jiang family's library and could not be given to others easily.

When a favored daughter of the Jiang family gets married, she will be given a set of ancient books as a dowry, which can also be used as a family heirloom.

"It's mine. I can't give a penny to anyone else. Besides, I have that set of ancient books. I must get them back."

Yan Ruyu sighed inwardly. This result was worse than she had imagined.

This amount of money probably cannot be recovered by using the shops of the Qiu and Cheng families.

There has to be a bigger one.

Jiang Tangli was also very anxious, and said to Yan Ruyu: "Sister, can you think of another way?"

Madam Shen said, "If the princess can help me get the ancient book back, I am willing to give it to the princess."

Yan Ruyu soothed her, "Mrs. Shen, please be patient. We need to do things step by step and slowly."

"You need to keep calm. I think this is just the tip of the iceberg."

You have to be mentally prepared.
