146 I Won’t Let You Off
Shen Yaowei agreed.
When she arrived in the back room, she realized that there were many antiques and treasures collected by her mother when she was alive.
Granny Yuan walked to the cabinet by the wall and took out a key from her sleeve. She opened the big lock hanging on the cabinet. “My lady, come here and take a look. Madam’s jewelry is kept here.”
Shen Yaowei walked over slightly.
The wooden cabinet was a total of five levels high. On each level, there were all kinds of exquisite small boxes, neatly placed. The small boxes were used to store jewelry.
“I’ll find it. My lady, please watch from the side.” As Granny Yuan spoke, she began to search the boxes one by one.
Shen Yaowei watched as the boxes were opened one by one. The jewelry inside was getting more and more expensive. She couldn’t help but wonder if her father’s salary could really support her mother’s spending.
Her mother was very vain. She usually wore the best clothes and jewelry.
At this moment, Granny Yuan’s smiling voice sounded. “My lady, most of this jewelry was earned by Madam herself. Madam knows how to read people’s faces and is very impressive.”
This was the first time Shen Yaowei knew that her mother had such ability. An intriguing glint flashed across her eyes.
“Eh? Why isn’t it here?” Granny Yuan’s expression instantly changed after searching the last box.
She remembered very clearly that the day before she was chased out of the Shen residence, she had personally cleaned the attic and checked all the items to confirm that the jade bracelet was in this cabinet.
And the things here were definitely not allowed to be taken out of the attic.
Shen Yaowei’s heart sank. “Are you sure it’s here?”
Granny Yuan said, “Although I’m old, my memory is still good. My lady, don’t be anxious. I’ll look for it carefully again. Perhaps it was moved by a servant when he was cleaning.”
Shen Yaowei nodded slowly.
On the other side, Song Lingyun was immediately anxious when she heard that Shen Yaowei had gone to the attic with Granny Yuan.
“Ah Xi, quickly send this to the small courtyard. Don’t let anyone else discover it, understand?” Song Lingyun took out a small square box from under her pillow and handed it to Ah Xi. “You have to hand it to Butler Lin personally. Remember, if you dare to mess this up, I won’t let you off.”
Ah Xi held the small box in his arms in fear and trepidation and nodded.
As she watched Ah Xi leave, Song Lingyun’s expression softened slightly. A vicious smile slowly appeared on her lips. “This fool is really getting in the way…”
It seemed that she had to think of a way to make the fool as obedient as possible.
After searching the entire room, Granny Yuan still couldn’t find the jade bracelet. She tried her best to control her wavering emotions and said to Shen Yaowei, “My lady, I’m sure the black jade bracelet is missing. I’m going to report this matter to the General now.”
Shen Yaowei frowned slightly. “I’ll accompany you to find my father.”
When Shen Liu’an heard that the black jade bracelet had disappeared from the attic, he flew into a rage. “Who dares touch the things in the attic?!”
Shen Yaowei looked at her father’s angry eyes and wasn’t surprised that he would be so angry.
To her father, everything about her mother was untouchable.
If anyone dared to touch anything in the attic, they would have to pay the price.
Shen Yaowei reached out and rubbed her face, making a terrified expression. She looked at Shen Liu’an slightly and said in a timid voice, “Father, who was in charge of the attic previously? Call that person over for a questioning.”
