Shen Yuan stared at Liu. If her eyes could kill, Liu would have died a thousand times already.

The old woman reacted so excitedly, it seemed that her silver was most likely stolen by Liu.

Shen Yuan saw that the bamboo ladder was about to fall to the side, and she was bound to fall from such a high place sooner or later. She made up her mind, let go, and threw herself down from Liu.

"what!!!"

"Oh!"

Before Liu could even scream, she was knocked unconscious by Shen Rong.

"mother!"

At this moment, a cry of surprise came from the door.

Shen Yuan lay on Liu's body and looked up, and it turned out that it was Gu Zhaoming who came back!

Shen Yuan was hurt by Gu Zhaoming's behavior. During this period, she did not take the initiative to go to the county town to bring food and money to Gu Zhaoming. Unexpectedly, Gu Zhaoming would come back on his own initiative.

Shen Yuan glanced at the unconscious Liu, with a sad expression on his face. Before he could get up from Liu,

"Ms. sir..."

Gu Zhaoming rushed in suddenly, pulled Shen Yuan aside, picked up the unconscious Liu from the ground and put her on the bed.

Shen Yuan fell from such a great height, but with Liu supporting him, he was not injured. However, he was still frightened. He was thrown aside by Gu Zhaoming so violently that he was unable to recover for a long time.

"What's going on?" Gu Zhaoming turned around and looked at Shen Yuan and asked.

Shen Yuan looked at Gu Zhaoming's cold expression and questioning tone. The anger that had been accumulating all night suddenly exploded. "You ask me what happened? Your mother wanted to throw me to death! Didn't you see it?"

Gu Zhaoming looked at the ladder that was tilted on the ground, and then at the unconscious Liu. He took a deep breath and said, "Let's go ask Doctor Shen to see if mother is okay!"

Shen Yuan sneered, "Help a doctor? Your mother stole all my money, so how can I afford to hire a doctor?"

Gu Zhaoming was shocked, his face full of disbelief, "My mother would never do such a thing, did you forget where you put it? Or did someone steal it?"

Shen Yuan looked unhappy. "Am I a fool? How could I not know where I put my money? You said someone else stole it. There are people at home every day. What kind of thief could steal money from our house without making any noise?"

Gu Zhaoming glanced at Shen Yuan and saw that she was motionless. He had no intention of calling a doctor at all. He walked out of the house and went straight to Changsheng's house.

When Gu Zhaoming entered Changsheng's house, Shen Rong happened to be sorting medicinal herbs in the yard.

"Sanniang, is Doctor Shen home? My mother fainted..."

"Wait a moment." Shen Rong said expressionlessly, turned around and went into the house to find her grandfather.

She didn't stop walking, but was wondering why Liu fainted.

Shen Rong thought of Wang Zhi and had some guesses in her mind.

Could it be that his money was stolen and he fainted from anger?

Soon, Sixth Grandpa came out of the house carrying a medicine box.

Gu Zhaoming was standing in the yard waiting. He saw Mr. Shen Liu and bowed to him, "Doctor Shen, please come and see my mother."

Grandpa nodded, "Let's go!"

Shen Rong really wanted to go and see if there was anything robbed in the Gu house, but when she thought of her past relationship with Gu Zhaoming and the way Gu Zhaoming had looked at her before, she ended up not going out with her grandfather.

Shen Yuan saw Gu Zhaoming go out to call a doctor. Seeing that Liu was still unconscious, she immediately picked up the ladder, placed it on the beam, and climbed up quickly.

Shen Yuan stood on the ladder and leaned his head toward the beam, where he saw a palm-sized pottery jar.

She was suddenly startled, because the palm-sized clay pot could not hold more than one hundred taels of silver.

Could it be that Liu is hiding somewhere else?

Shen Yuan took the pottery jar down. She knew from the light feel of it that there was not much silver in it without even opening the lid.

Sure enough, when Shen Yuan opened the lid, he saw only a few pieces of silver inside.

Shen Yuan's heart suddenly sank. She didn't dare to think about it, nor did she dare to admit that the money was stolen by a thief, but now...

No, Liu must have another place to hide the money that she hasn't found!

That must be the case!

At this time, Shen Yuan was awakened by the footsteps outside the house. She put the pottery jar on the beam and quickly climbed down the ladder.

After Shen Lianchuan entered the room, he gave Liu an injection and Liu woke up.

"hiss……"

Liu slowly opened her eyes and stared at the beams for a while before she remembered what happened before she fainted.

"Shen! How dare you steal my money!" Liu's eyes turned, and when she saw Shen Yuan standing in the room, she immediately shouted.

Shen Lianchuan took a few steps back calmly.

Shen Yuan's eyes widened and he shouted, "I didn't do that! It was you who stole my money!"

It would have been reasonable for Shen Yuan to not be injured when he fell off the ladder and hit Liu. However, Liu was not injured either. She was just knocked unconscious for a moment, and was full of energy again when she woke up.

Seeing that Shen Yuan dared to turn the tables, Liu suddenly sat up from the bed, pointed at Shen Yuan and said viciously: "When did I steal your money? I am your mother-in-law. Do I need to steal money from you? It is natural for a mother-in-law to manage the money!"

Having said that, Liu finally realized what her daughter-in-law had just said.

Her eyes widened, her hands trembling, and she pointed at Shen Yuan, "You...what did you just say?"

Shen Yuan glanced at Gu Zhaoming, whose face turned black, and pursed her lips, aggrieved, "Mom, I am your daughter-in-law. No matter how much money I earn, I should be filial to you. If you need anything or want to buy something, just tell me directly. There is no need to take all the money behind my back.

My husband is a scholar now, after all. We can’t help him, but we should try not to hinder him. If this matter gets out, I don’t know if it will affect my husband’s studies in the county.”

Liu was so angry that her face turned red. "You are so good, Shen! I already told you it wasn't me, you idiot. Why don't you go find the real thief instead of wasting so much time talking to me?

Shen Yuan frowned and looked at Liu with suspicion.

Could it be that she really made a mistake?

But what Liu said made sense. At this time, the money earned by the younger generation in the family was managed by the elders. If Liu wanted her money, it seemed that she really didn't need to steal it. She could just ask her directly. But what if?

"Mother, all the money I earned some time ago is gone, nearly two hundred taels of silver. Normally, either you or I are at home. Nearly two hundred taels of silver in my room are gone. I can't think of anyone who could have stolen the silver right under our noses."

When Shen Yuan said this, her eyes were fixed on Liu, paying close attention to the expression on Liu's face. She could see any trace of guilt on Liu's face.

Unfortunately, Shen Yuan was destined to be disappointed.

When Liu heard about so much money, she felt even more dizzy. She slapped her thigh and said, "God damn it, it hurts so much!"

But even patting my own thigh doesn't make me feel better.

When Liu thought about how all the money in her daughter-in-law's hands had been stolen, she felt heartbroken.
