Chapter 120: The Storeroom Was Robbed
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
Leihua Courtyard was as cold and desolate as ever, but it was never this dilapidated!
Logically speaking, after their fight with Liu Yan’er that day, it was normal for Leihua Courtyard to be in chaos. However, Nanny Li would definitely clean up after she returned. However, the scene in front of her was much more chaotic than the one after the fight that day!
Then, she remembered that Nanny Li had not gone to the Liang Residence for the past two days…
“Mo’er, quickly go and see Nanny Li. Did something happen to her?”
Liu Shimei instructed as she started to observe his surroundings.
Many things had been smashed, but they were not anything valuable. Liu Shimei did not take it to heart.
She quickly walked towards the storeroom.
Seeing the scene in front of her, she snorted coldly and said, “As expected!”
Huangfu Lingyao followed her all the way and saw that the lock on the storeroom door was still hanging there, but there were traces of it being pried open on the window!
Liu Shimei’s storeroom was robbed!
He pointed at the window and said to Liu Shimei, “Wife, look here! There’s a hole in the window!”
“I saw it,” Liu Shimei pursed her lips and said coldly. “I knew it. Even if I want to stop and not cause trouble, some people never want peace!”
Liu Fuyun had paid such a huge price to make her shut up and not pursue the matter. However, it was obvious that his entire family was dragging her down and did not want her to feel comfortable!
Mo’er also came over. “Eldest Young Miss, Nanny Li is injured. She’s in her room! She said that someone had entered the storeroom to steal Young Miss’s things. She had tried to stop him and was injured by the other party.”
“Where is she hurt?” Liu Shimei’s face darkened.
Mo’er’s face was filled with grief and indignation as she replied, “On her legs. She couldn’t even walk and could only lie on the bed.”
“Let’s go take a look first.” Liu Shimei did not immediately check what he had stolen. Instead, she chose to check on Nanny Li’s injuries first.
Huangfu Lingyao pulled her sleeve and asked, “Wife, did someone steal your things? Aren’t you going to take a look first? A nanny’s injury was certain, but there was no hurry.”
Hearing this, Liu Shimei turned around with a serious expression. “Lingyao, you’re still young and might not understand. At any time, human lives are more important than money! Even if others stole all my things, the lives of the people around me are far more precious than those things!”
“Ah?” He looked confused, and when he lowered his eyes, he covered the flash of light in his eyes.
Liu Shimei sighed and said, “Let’s go and see Nanny Li’s condition first. After confirming that she’s fine, we’ll come over to check the storeroom to see if anything is missing.”
She was very anxious, so she did not notice too much. She pulled Huangfu Lingyao to her courtyard and reminded him on the way, “Lingyao, wait for me in my room later. Don’t run around, understand?”
“Oh.” Huangfu Lingyao answered obediently.
Liu Shimei and Mo’er were walking in front. He was half a step behind them, staring at the back of Liu Shimei’s head.
A person who had just demanded an exorbitant price from Liu Fuyun was as ruthless as she could be when asking for money!
But now, a nanny beside her was injured, but she ignored the stolen storeroom and paid attention to the old woman’s injury first!
Was life more important than money at any time?
He looked obedient and silly, but his eyes were deep in thought.
Liu Shimei quickly arrived at Nanny Li’s room. There was a difference between men and women, so it was inconvenient for Huangfu Lingyao to enter. Mo’er stopped him outside.
He did not go to Liu Shimei’s room to wait. Instead, he stood in the courtyard.
In the early spring, the only peach tree in the courtyard was full of buds. It was the time when the buds were about to bloom.
He raised his head and looked at the flower buds on the tree. After searching for a long time, he finally found one that was half open.
Huangfu Lingyao pinched the peach blossom and played with it gently between his fingertips. A smile appeared on his lips as he muttered, “There are still 3,000 trees in the remnant red, not as fresh as the first bloom.”
He turned to look at the servants’ room and his smile deepened.. “Not as fresh as the first bloom!”
