When Zhou heard that her daughter's things were also missing, she lifted her skirt and went into the room to check.

The fine vases, fine chairs, and fine tea sets that my father had sent me yesterday were all gone.

"What kind of thief would not even spare the tables and chairs?"

"Mom, I don't think it was stolen by a thief."

Zhou's eyes widened: "Why do you say that?"

"Mother, have you ever seen a thief stealing a table? When my daughter went to bed last night, the things were still there, but now they are gone?"

"Besides, it takes several people to carry the tables and chairs, so how come there was no sound?"

Because she was too nervous, Zhou had no time to think and only wanted to find her daughter. Now, after hearing what her daughter said, she thought about it carefully.

"Yeah? Who is so powerful?"

"Mother, I don't know either. Since our things disappeared in the Shangshu Mansion, we can just go and ask Dad. Maybe he knows."

After Fang Shiwan finished speaking, he couldn't wait to see their reactions. After all, so many things were missing, and that was half of the Shangshu Mansion.

Thinking of that irresponsible husband, Zhou didn't want to go for a moment, but when she thought that the things were indeed missing, she had to go and ask.

"Let's go and ask."

Soon, Zhou and Fang Shiwan walked towards the study arm in arm.

The two of them came to the study and stepped inside. They were surprised to see that the entire study was empty.

"Wan'er, why... why is this thing gone?"

Fang Shiwan was secretly happy in his heart, but on the surface he pretended to be ignorant.

"Mom, yes, are these things in Dad's study? Could it be that they were also stolen like us?"

The more Zhou thought about it, the more she felt something was wrong, so she walked towards the front hall again, only to find that there was not even a bench there.

A trace of panic flashed through Zhou's mind. Ever since her daughter said that she felt better after wearing the amulet, she couldn't help but think in that direction.

When they arrived at Qingxinyuan, Fang Shiwan and Zhou finally heard voices and walked in.

It would have been better if they hadn't gone in. When they went in, they were both scared.

I saw Minister Fang and the old lady half lying on the bed, their faces were ashen and their whole bodies were shaking.

"Mother, Master, what's going on? Why are your things missing too?"

As soon as Zhou asked the question, Minister Fang and the old lady both turned around.

Looking at Zhou's neatly dressed appearance, a barely perceptible hatred flashed in the eyes of several people.

"Things in your yard were also stolen?" Things in his study and storeroom were stolen, but now, after listening to Zhou's words, he was invulnerable.

"Yes, everything in Wan'er and I's yard is gone, and we don't even have breakfast to eat now."

The old lady at the side slanted her mouth, pointed at Fang Shiwan in anger, and said vaguely:

"It's all because of you, Fang Shiwan. If it weren't for you, how could our family have encountered all this?"

After hearing this, Minister Fang seemed to be enlightened. He recalled all the things that had happened in the mansion in the past few days. He suddenly looked at his eldest daughter, whom he had never noticed before.

I don’t know when it started, but this daughter has become more and more beautiful.

His previously dark skin had become much whiter, and his eyes no longer had the timidity they once had. Instead, they held an innate aura of strength and confidence.

His originally thin body seemed to have gained a lot of weight.

Looking at the eldest lady beside him, years of illness in bed had made her face pale and haggard, but now her face had a hint of pinkness, and she had also gained a lot of weight.

He couldn't look away for a moment.

Thinking that everything in his storehouse and study was gone, he immediately lost the mood to appreciate it.

"Okay, I didn't know that it was you, the rebellious girl, who caused this misfortune in our house."

"Today I will teach you a lesson, you evildoer."

As he spoke, Minister Fang took advantage of the situation to stand up, but because he was too excited just now, his hands and feet were stiff and numb. Now even if he stood up, his legs and feet were numb, and it was impossible for him to walk.

Fang Shiwan snorted coldly, looking at the scumbag father who had difficulty moving, sneering to the extreme. He couldn't even walk, but still wanted to hit her.

"Scum... No, Dad, you must have said it wrongly. If my daughter is a troublemaker, then what is Aunt Lin? Why were things stolen from the mansion after Aunt Lin came out of the ancestral hall?"

"Or is it that the child in Aunt Liu's belly is here to seek revenge?"

"None of these makes more sense than my daughter crawling out of the coffin."

"If you say your daughter died and you're here to seek revenge, then I can understand why you blame me now that this thing is gone."

"But do you think your daughter is capable enough to take away the Shangshu Mansion's assets? Or do you think your daughter is more capable than anything else?"

Every word Fang Shiwan said was heart-piercing. Not only did he drag Aunt Lin into the water, he also mentioned Aunt Liu's unborn child again.

Zhou was even more angry. She had given birth to this daughter with great difficulty, and had not protected her since she was a child. Now that she was finally by her side, she would not let anyone bully her.

Zhou glanced at Aunt Lin, whose face was distorted, and sneered.

"Fang Zhengxiang, you want my daughter to take the blame for the evil deeds done by your own concubine. I will never admit it. I thought only the things in my yard were lost, but it turns out that everything in the whole mansion is missing. It seems that there are indeed unclean things in this Shangshu Mansion."

"Karma has a cycle. This Shangshu Mansion must have offended someone, otherwise it would never be like this."

Aunt Lin, who was standing by, was so angry at what she heard. She had managed to get out of the ancestral hall with her own ability, and she could never go back.

She knelt on the ground sadly, holding onto Minister Fang's clothes with both hands, crying:

"Master, it is definitely not my fault. If it was me, how could I be pregnant? How could our ancestors allow it?"

The old lady also thought it made sense, so she believed every word Fang Shiwan had just said. Ever since her granddaughter scared her that day, she always felt that she was here to seek revenge.

Although her face looked extremely innocent and naive, she felt scared unconsciously when she saw it.

"Zhengxiang, report to the police."

"Yes, sir, how about reporting it to the police?"

When Minister Fang thought about the things in his house being missing, he felt heartbroken. He stretched out a hand, covered his eyes, and then let go.

"What official do you want to report to? I want to see the emperor!"

"Since the master has something to do, my wife and the child will leave first."

After Zhou finished speaking, she pulled Fang Shiwan over and was about to leave.

"Zhou, please stop. You are the eldest lady in this mansion. You are also responsible if something is lost."
