After Breaking Off My Marriage, I Became A Powerful Minister's Treasure

Chapter 107: Who Didn't Know How to Act

The court chief found that this old lady was quite easy to talk to. She was probably deceived by her family.

This was the general's residence. How could the gold and valuable items were given by the emperor be stolen?

If all of these were stolen, how could he qualify as a general?

It was probably an internal strife.

He was also somewhat disgusted with Xiao Yuanshi and his wife.

He heard that the old lady and the others had sold their house and land in their hometown, and were robbed along their journey here.

They begged all the way to the capital to see their son.

They actually lied to Old Lady Xiao.

But he did not say much.

In any case, the higher-ups had ordered a thorough investigation, so he had to investigate.

He ordered others to bring all the stewards and relevant personnel guarding the warehouse away.

Ge Chunru's face couldn't help but turn pale. She did not expect these people to be so fast.

Unfortunately, the general had left the city to handle some matters.

She had already sent people to look for him but seemed like it was too late.

Thus, she smiled and went up to greet him. "Is there some misunderstanding?"

The old lady saw the smiling face of this foxy woman and became even more resentful.

She could not help but want to go up and spit at her, but Mdm Wu restrained her.

Mdm Wu said in a low voice, "Mother, cry then!"

Shi Qingluo had said that in front of outsiders, Old Lady Xiao had to act like a loving mother and a good mother-in-law.

She must not be fierce to the two of them.

She hadn't put much thought into it initially, but after coming to the capital and seeing Ge Chunru's little tricks, she felt that this was too reasonable.

With this reminder, Old Lady Xiao recalled that she had to act like a good mother-in-law.

Recently, she had gotten used to mending this little hoof and nearly exposed herself in front of others.

This vixen must have done it on purpose to make her lose her reputation in front of others.

Hence, she wiped her eyes with her sleeve and dipped it in ginger juice, causing her tears to come out instantly.

She looked at Ge Chunru and asked, "What do you mean by this?

"Do you think that I, your mother-in-law, was the one who moved the money and things in the storeroom?

"Previously, you insisted that I take charge of the house. You said the two of you hadn't parted your kinship with us yet, so I had to help oversee the house.

"I saw that your housekeeper was spending too much money. It was not easy for my son to become a general, so I reluctantly agreed.

"But after being the lady of the house, I realized that the money in the storeroom might not be right, and there weren't any valuable items.

"I'm just afraid that they were stolen. Such a big general's residence, with so many people to feed. How will we go about in the future?

"You actually said that it was a misunderstanding the moment you arrived. Are you blaming me, your mother-in-law, for meddling in other people's business?"
