The cold husband can't warm me up, I don't love him anymore
Chapter 104: What did I steal from your house?
Upon hearing this, Shan Ya jumped up first.
"Ali, do you agree or not? Let me beat your father to death."
Feng Zhenzhu's face was also filled with indignation.
"Ali, your father is too unreasonable. That silver was originally your dowry."
The two aunts were also very angry and were about to rush out to question.
Cui Lingyi hurriedly stopped them and said to Butler Li, "Uncle Li, please tell my father to go back first. I will be there soon and will definitely give him an explanation."
After the housekeeper went to talk to him, Cui Zizhen stopped making trouble and left soon.
In this situation, there was no way for several people to continue looking at houses.
Shan Ya and Feng Zhenzhu both planned to follow her to Cui's house, but she refused.
"I'll handle this matter myself. Don't worry, I'll take care of it."
Unfortunately, several people disagreed.
While they were arguing, Buddha's hand came.
After hearing this, he had a determined expression on his face.
"I'll go with the young lady. I promise that nothing will happen and I can resolve the matter perfectly!"
Of course, everyone is aware of the capabilities of Buddha's hand, and they all felt relieved at the moment.
When Cui Zizhen returned home, he ran into his beloved son Cui Heyi.
"Dad, did you get the money back?"
"Don't worry, it's inevitable." Cui Zizhen looked proud.
"Dad just said something harsh at the Li family. She said she would give Dad an explanation and would come right away."
Cui Heyi's worldly-wise face revealed some worry.
"Dad, I'm worried that she won't return the money to us at all. Or, she might go to Young Marquis Shen to make the decision!"
"Young Marquis?" Cui Zizhen snorted coldly, "Young Marquis would care about this kind of thing for her, at most he just feels a little reluctant to do so because of her face."
"Father has been thinking about it carefully these past few days. If the Marquis really cares about her, with the help of the Imperial City Bureau, he would have found out about what happened between us and Lord Gu long ago. But there has been no movement until now. What does this mean?"
At this point, Cui Zizhen's face gradually became ugly.
"This shows that without me as her father, Cui Lingyi is nothing."
"I am at least a fifth-rank official, and I have a real job! Humph, she is just a lonely girl, will the young marquis really take her seriously?!"
"Ah, this daughter has been raised in vain. If she had not rejected the young marquis's proposal, I, as a father, would have been promoted by now..."
"But it's not bad now. With the underground money house, what big things do we have to worry about?"
Cui Zizhen gradually became too proud of himself and started talking nonsense.
Cui Heyi became more and more worried.
"Dad, I feel like something is not right. Cui Lingyi is so determined to separate from us. Is there something we don't know about?"
Cui Zizhen rolled his eyes.
"Son, you are still young after all, and it is inevitable that you will be afraid."
He patted Cui Heyi's shoulder lovingly and comforted him, "Don't worry, son. Your elder sister is just running wild. She thinks she can be a superior person by running a shabby clinic. She doesn't know anything at all. Don't worry, Dad will tell you another good thing..."
Cui Zizhen said this and walked into the study with a confident look on his face.
After a while, a series of clanging sounds were heard in the study.
Cui Heyi thought something had happened and hurriedly pushed the door open to see.
I saw that the originally tidy study was turned into a mess, it was simply unbearable to look at.
And Cui Zizhen is still looking for something in the pile of books?
"Hey, why is the thing gone?!"
"Dad, what are you doing? What's missing?"
"Didn't Dad tell you about the indentures of those two girls? The guy named Li from the underground bank has taken a fancy to Bu Se and asked me to send her over. He's a powerful man and has most of the inside information of the bank in his hands... Without the indentures, what should I do?"
Cui Zizhen's eyebrows were twisted like a hemp rope. He kept searching while muttering.
At this moment, the old housekeeper suddenly came in a hurry.
"Master, something bad has happened. The two girls in Wisteria Pavilion disappeared at some point."
"What? Missing? How did you see that person? How could he be missing?" Cui Zizhen was almost jumping up and down in anger.
The old butler also felt a little aggrieved.
"Didn't you say so, Master? Lock them up and don't allow them to eat or drink. If you hadn't said to bring them out just now, I don't know if they would have run away long ago."
"He must have run to Li's house." Cui Zizhen looked furious.
At this time, the doorman came to report that Cui Lingyi had arrived.
An idea suddenly came to Cui Zizhen's mind, and he threw the book in his hand away.
"It must be her. She must have stolen the indenture contract in advance when she was at home during those two days."
Having said that, he went out like the wind.
Cui Heyi hurriedly followed.
I don't know what he was thinking of, but he stopped and gave instructions to the housekeeper.
"Go gather our people together and surround the front hall for me!"
"Yes!" Although the butler was not happy, he still went there quickly.
Cui Zizhen rushed to the front hall and picked up the family sword as usual, but was stunned when he saw the Buddha's hand.
"You, why are you here?"
As the only female deputy envoy in the Imperial City, he was very familiar with and afraid of this face.
Buddha's hand looked calm.
"Why can't I be here? I'm the eldest lady's bodyguard, so naturally I'll follow her wherever she goes."
"Guards?" Cui Zizhen looked suspicious.
Looking at the empty waist of Buddha's hand, I felt a lot more relieved.
I didn’t see the sign exclusive to the Imperial City Bureau.
Moreover, the clothes she was wearing were not the black clothes unique to the Imperial City Division.
Buddha's hand allowed him to hit his face, looking calm and composed.
"Yes, that's what Lord Cui saw. I am no longer the Imperial City Officer, but the Young Lady's bodyguard."
Upon hearing this, Cui Zizhen laughed immediately.
"Okay, Cui Lingyi, I thought you were so powerful that you brought people from the Imperial City Bureau to support you. Now that she is not from the Imperial City Bureau, I don't have to hold back. Someone come here!"
Cui Zizhen raised his hand and several servants rushed out immediately.
"Catch her and send her to the government. I want to sue her for theft."
"Let's see who dares?" The Buddha's hand blocked Cui Lingyi.
The previous leisurely look was gone, replaced by a stern look.
Cui Zizhen looked disdainful and said, "You are just a guard now, and you dare to interfere with my catching a thief."
Cui Lingyi was not afraid.
She patted Buddha's hand on the shoulder and stepped out from behind her.
"Excuse me, Lord Cui, you said you wanted to sue me for theft. What did I steal from your mansion?"
Cui Zizhen snorted coldly.
"Are you still playing dumb here? Let me ask you, did you steal the two indentures from my study?"
Cui Lingyi curled her lips slightly, "Who does the indenture you mentioned belong to? Which mansion does it belong to?"
Cui Zizhen looked impatient, "Of course they are the maids in our Cui Mansion, Bu Yun and Bu Se."
"Are you sure it's Bu Yun and Bu Se?"
"Of course I am sure. These two girls have been living in my house since they were young. How could I not know their origins?"
"If that's the case, then it's fine." Cui Lingyi smiled faintly, "The two indentures in my hand are not named Bu Yun and Bu Se, and they don't belong to the Cui family."
