Unfortunately, he found no trace of it even after searching everything.
Most importantly, there wasn’t even a single track mark on the outside.
There were so many gold and silver in there. They would have to leave a mark of some sort when the thieves took them all away.
But, there was nothing.
This made his hair stand on end, reminding him of the heinous Yang Residence robbery case.
At that time, Lord Yang had used his connections with King Hui to investigate the whole city for three days but found nothing.
Later, Lord Yang quickly lost his life.
Thinking of this, he couldn’t help but think of Magu.
He hoped she had died quietly in that corner instead of betraying the madam.
He immediately locked the door and returned to the ancestral hall.
When he saw the old madam sitting cross-legged on the mattress in a daze, he was stunned for a moment and asked, “Madam, are you alright?”
“Did you find anything?” Mrs. Lu turned her head and asked.
“No traces at all. It’s the same as when the Yang Family was robbed.”
At the same time, he was very impressed with the old madam. She had lost more than half of her family’s property but could still calm down quickly. It was really not something that anyone could do.
“Got it. You can go back. Don’t spread this matter.”
“Yes, then you?”
“I’ll be staying quietly here. Don’t worry about me.”
“The night is cold. Please don’t stay too long.” Lu Xing responded and turned to leave.
Mrs. Lu sat quietly for nearly four hours. When the sky was about to brighten, she slowly rose and returned to her bedroom.
The next day, the servants found out the old madam was still asleep and had a high fever.
The doctor finished his diagnosis and confirmed that it was a high fever caused by a cold.
The servant girl sent by the old madam to monitor Mrs. Lu immediately reported this back.
When the old madam heard this, she was very surprised.
Although the weather was hot now, maids were on duty at night. How could an esteemed elderly like her catch a cold and even a fever?
She probably had something on her mind.
“Are you sure she didn’t go out last night?”
“No, me and my two sisters took turns to watch her and did not see her going out.”
“Go and continue your watch. If there’s anything wrong, you must report it in time.”
On the other end, Zhou Ying finally heaved a sigh of relief after confirming that her plan had worked. Then, she went to the manor with Gu Chengrui.
As soon as she exited the carriage, Er Zhuang, lying listlessly in the yard, immediately stood up and rushed out.
When he saw Zhou Ying, he barked sadly and wagged his tail around her.
Zhou Ying rubbed its head and said, “It’s been hard on you, Er Zhuang. It’s only been a few days, and you’ve already lost so much weight.”
“Ever since you guys left, he doesn’t like to eat much of anything. He only eats a little when there’s meat, so he lost weight quickly.” Widow Wu replied.
“Where’s his wife? That little cute dog?” Zhou Ying asked.
“He drove her away.
“On the third day after you left, for some reason, they suddenly fought. Since then, that little dog has never come again.”
“I see. You go ahead with your work.” Gu Chengrui nodded and replied.
He knocked on Er Zhuang’s head and said, “Not bad. You didn’t grow up to be a wolf. You know that your master is more important than your wife.”
“What are you talking about?” Zhou Ying rolled her eyes at him.
“I’m sure that’s the case. I guess he must think that we don’t want him anymore because he has a companion.” Gu Chengrui smiled.
Gu Chengrui didn’t know if Er Zhuang understood him, but as soon as he finished speaking, Er Zhuang raised his head and barked out twice..
