Chapter 172 - Two old things were stolen

Chapter 172 Stolen two old things

Wei Qingwan asked Yun: “Mother, should we go out and have a look now?”

Wei Ruobai gave Wei Qingwan a look: “It sounds like a thief has entered the house. You are fighting with the people in the house. What are you going out for now? Don’t make trouble.”

Knowing something was wrong, Wei Ruo didn’t plan to go outside to check the situation.

If someone really wants to fight and kill, then it’s not appropriate for her to go.

Wei Ruo stopped Wei Qingwan from going out to watch, not for Wei Qingwan’s safety, but because she didn’t want Wei Qingwan to cause trouble for her.

“A thief has entered?” Wei Qingwan’s expression changed immediately, and there was more panic in his eyes.

Although her father is a school lieutenant and has always lived very close to the war, in fact Wei Qingwan has never really been close to killing.

If there were any fighting outside, Wei Qingwan had no idea what to do.

Wei Qingwan asked again: “Then will we be in danger here?”

Listen to the voice, very close to them.

Wei Ruo took a sip of the teacup calmly, and then asked, “It’s dangerous here, so you’ll be safe if you go out? Or are you going to find a cabinet to hide?”

In the flower hall, the maids of the Yuan Mansion waited quietly beside her as motionless as a mountain. She, a daughter of the uncle’s mansion, couldn’t hold back, what did she look like?

Wei Qingwan looked aggrieved: “Sister, don’t be angry, I’m just a little worried about the safety of my mother and you.”

“Don’t show me your aggrieved face, this is not in the Wei Mansion, your weeping and crying appearance is almost enough to be kept at home, don’t come outside to embarrass yourself.” Wei Ruo said coldly.

These words were ruthless, and Wei Qingwan didn’t save any face.

Wei Qingwan bit her lip aggrievedly, then turned her head and looked at Yun Shi with red eyes.

I thought I could see Yun’s distress for him and anger towards Wei Qingruo, but Yun’s face was serious, not only did he not feel distressed, but also cold.

“Mother, my daughter doesn’t mean to run away and lose face to the Captain’s House. My daughter just asks if there is any danger.” Wei Qingwan said to Yun grievously.

Yun’s tone educated Wei Qingwan in a dignified tone: “Wanwan, pay attention to your demeanor, don’t panic at the slightest thing, and always remember that you are the lady of the Zhongyi uncle’s mansion when you are outside, and your ancestor is a famous founder of the country.”

Wei Qingwan felt as if she had been poured a basin of cold water from head to toe. The tears in her eyes were swirling, and she tried not to cry.

However, Yun Shi was not in the mood to pay attention to Wei Qingwan’s little emotions at the moment, and the continuous voices from outside made her frown.

They could even hear the guards in Yuan’s mansion shouting “don’t let them run away”, “don’t let them hurt the princess” and similar words.

This is definitely a thief, and a very tricky thief!

But who on earth would be so daring to come to the magistrate’s mansion in broad daylight to make trouble?

After an unknown amount of time, the sound outside stopped.

After a while, Mrs. Yuan came back.

“Mrs. Wei, Miss Wei, sorry to surprise you.” Madam Yuan apologized.

“We’re fine, Mrs. Yuan, nothing happened in the front yard, right?” Yun asked with concern.

“No one was injured, it’s nothing serious, but the mansion is messy today, I’m afraid the reception will not be good, so Madam Wei and the two Miss Wei will stay soon.” Madam Yuan said.

“It’s okay, Ma’am, you can take care of your body even though you are busy with the affairs of the house.”

It was inconvenient for Mrs. Yun to stay for a long time, so she took Wei Ruo and Wei Qingwan with her and bid farewell to Mrs. Yuan.

Coming out of the flower hall, Wei Ruo saw the servants in the mansion moving in a hurry, and they all ran towards the backyard.

It seems that it is not as simple as just walking in the front yard.

After Wei Ruo and others left, Master Yuan hurried back to the mansion.

He went out to inspect early this morning, and it was already too late to come back after receiving the news.

“Madam, how are you?” Yuan Zhengqin first cared about his wife’s situation when he entered the door.

“I’m fine, and no one in the mansion was injured.” Mrs. Yuan said.

“It’s fine, it’s fine, I’m sending people to track down these thieves now.”

Yuan Zhengqin was about to call for people to come in when Madam Yuan stopped him: “Husband, this is the end of today’s matter, don’t say anything, you order to go down, just say to the outside world that the front yard has leaked water, and don’t spread the news about the thieves in the back yard!”

Madam Yuan’s words made Yuan Zhengqin wonder: “Madam, what’s wrong?”

“Today, the house is full of water and thieves, and it just happened when you were not in the house. It’s hard for me not to feel that they did it on purpose.” Madam Yuan’s face was serious.

“Since this is the case, we should track down the whereabouts of these culprits and bring them to justice.” Yuan Zhengqin said.

“The thieves didn’t hurt anyone after they entered the house, only two things were stolen from the warehouse.”

“What’s missing?”

“One is the Picture of Remnant Plum Blossoms and Aoxue; the other is a dagger named Dragon Picture.” Speaking of these two things, Madam Yuan frowned.

“What’s so special about these two things?”

Yuan Zhengqin didn’t have any special impression of these two items. What was certain was that they were not the two items with high value in their warehouse.

The thieves took so much effort to sneak into their warehouse, but only stole two items that were not very valuable?

Or is there something else wrong with it?

“These two things are indeed not particularly valuable, but they have the same source. When Xu Guogong’s mansion was copied, all the copied things were included in the national treasury. After a period of time, these things were successively rewarded by the emperor’s uncle. Everyone, my father also got some. This picture of the broken plums and Aoxue and this dagger are the things that my father rewarded from Xu Guogong’s mansion back then. When I got married, they came with me to Taizhou mansion together with other dowry .Because there is nothing special about it, and I didn’t pay attention to it until I compared the dowry list to confirm the stolen items, and I found out that these two items came from this.”

After listening to his wife’s explanation, Yuan Zhengqin still couldn’t figure it out: “Why would someone go to such lengths to steal these two things?”

Mrs. Yuan shook her head: “I also don’t understand. Xu Guogong and his son have passed away for more than ten years. People who were related to this matter were implicated, demoted from their posts, and lived in seclusion. Why do people go to great lengths to deal with it now? Worrying about old things from the past.”

“Madam doesn’t want me to speak out because I think these people are old people related to Xu Guogong’s mansion?” Yuan Zhengqin asked.

“I don’t know if they are related to the Xu Guogong’s mansion back then, but these people are so skilled that even the masters of the palace who have followed me for many years can’t do anything to them, but they didn’t hurt anyone in my mansion, so I think they We don’t have any malice towards us, we just want these two things. And these two things are of no use to me, so it doesn’t matter if I give them to them.” Madam Yuan replied.
