Chapter 1522 - 328, What a moron! (Third Watch)_3
Pfft!
Not only did Lin Yuan laugh, but even Shui Xian and Shuishui following behind her couldn’t help but laugh out loud.
Lin Yuan smirked amusingly, thinking to herself that Tian Hui was really quite interesting. She hadn’t even entered the door when Tian Hui had already started talking to her about private savings.
However, before she could say anything else, Tian Hui suddenly said puzzledly, "Oh right, I’ve got something strange to tell you! The day Ah Zheng came back and talked about the engagement, Mother had someone check the storeroom to see the betrothal gifts, and guess what? Several items from the betrothal gifts had mysteriously disappeared! Later, Mother went to have a look herself only to find out that not only your betrothal gifts were gone, but several other items had gone missing too!"
Lin Yuan furrowed her brows and asked, "Were the lost items very valuable? Could it be an inside job by the person guarding the storeroom?"
Even as she asked this, she felt it wasn’t likely. From the incident with Tian Hui’s carriage before, it was clear that Princess Anle was very skilled at managing her servants; it wasn’t just about embezzlement—any found items would never be kept by someone as their own.
Tian Hui also shook her head, "It shouldn’t be that. Only Mother has the keys to the storeroom, and almost all the belongings of the General Mansion are stored there. Many valuable items were not lost; strangely, among those that were, some weren’t worth much."
Seeing Lin Yuan also puzzled, Tian Hui quickly changed the subject and laughed, "Look at me, why am I telling you these unpleasant things? Don’t worry, Mother said, whether we find those items or not, your betrothal gifts will all be accounted for. And you know, in the past couple of days, Ah Zheng has been keeping a close watch on the storeroom, insisting on catching that thief!"
