Chapter 1084 The Marquis's Mansion Follows in Two or Three
Butler Yin Fu walked briskly ahead, followed closely by a group of women. They passed through the corridor and arrived at the main house where Shui Simiao lived.
Strangely enough, even though winter is almost here, the door was wide open!
There were no servants on duty at the gate...
Yin Fu walked to the door, his mouth had just opened, and before he could utter a sound, he saw that the house was empty.
After a moment of stunned silence, Yin Fu couldn't help but gasp...
what happened?
What about the furniture, decorations, and wall hangings in this room?
And...and the princess and the maids and servants who serve her?
A group of concubines and mistresses rushed forward, and they were also stunned by the scene before them!
Fortunately, he stopped in time, otherwise he would have knocked Yin Fu down first, and then piled on top of him like a human pyramid!
The steward, Yin Fu, stood frozen at the doorway, while his concubines clung to the doorframe, peering into the empty room.
After a gasp of surprise, a cacophony of chatter ensued.
"What's going on?"
"Your Highness...has this place been burgled?"
One of the concubines whispered to another concubine who was clinging to her back.
I think so!
But... but what kind of thief would steal even furniture like tables and chairs?
"How not?"
Another concubine said, "Have you forgotten?"
Just a few days ago, wasn't that Marquis Qinxing's mansion completely robbed by a group of unidentified thieves?
"Yeah too!
Could it be... that those people have come to our Prince Yi's residence again?
Could it be... that they came to the princess's place last night and stole everything?
Things were stolen... What about the princess?
Could it be... they stole the princess too?
That offhand remark was rather harsh!
A concubine nearby quickly nudged her with her elbow.
The concubine who had just spoken realized she had said the wrong thing and quickly raised her hand to cover her mouth.
Yin Fu stood blankly in front of the empty room for a long time before suddenly snapping out of his daze and starting to look around...
He wanted to find one of the servants in the courtyard to ask about the situation.
Just then, a young maidservant was seen carrying a copper basin and hurrying towards the back room where the servants lived.
Yin Fu called out to her.
When the young maid saw that it was the head steward, Yin Fu, who had summoned her, she quickly came over to greet him.
Yin Fu asked directly, "What happened in this courtyard?"
Where is the princess?
Where is the princess?
The maidservant quickly replied, "Reporting to the head steward, the princess is currently in our room!"
"what?
Is the princess in your room now?
Why was the princess in your room?
What exactly happened here last night?
Yin Fu pressed for an answer.
The maidservant hurriedly shook her head in fright, "Reporting to the head steward, what happened last night... we don't know!"
We servants only heard the Princess... we only heard the Princess shout once!
The maids rushed over and saw that the princess's room was completely empty!
Only...only the princess sat on the floor of the empty room.
Later... later... the maids followed the princess to the storeroom at the back where her dowry was stored...
When they got there, they found that the warehouse... the warehouse was empty!
Princess... Princess couldn't take the shock and fainted on the spot!
We wanted to take the princess back to her room, but... but there wasn't even a bed left in her room!
We servants had no choice but to take the princess to our room!
"How is the princess now?"
Has he woken up yet?
Butler Yin Fu asked again.
"Your Highness... Your Highness has woken up, but... she's just dazed and doesn't say a word!"
Upon hearing this, Yin Fu was about to go and see the princess, but then he thought that instead of going to see the princess, he should first report the situation to the prince.
Besides, the royal physician is currently in the prince's study; it would be good to ask him to examine the princess first!
"Take good care of the Princess. I'll go and inform the Prince to fetch the royal physician!"
After saying this, Yin Fu turned and ran towards the front yard, leaving behind a group of concubines and aunts looking at each other in bewilderment.
Some of the women were secretly gloating—Shui Simiao had just happily become the Princess Consort of Yi yesterday, but that very night she was robbed by thieves and had everything stolen…
snort!
It seems that Shui Simiao is not destined for wealth and prosperity!
Some were secretly relieved – thank goodness, thank goodness the thief didn't steal from their own yard last night, otherwise they would have had nowhere to cry!
The steward, Yin Fu, was running towards the front yard when he bumped into Granny Chen, who was running back from looking for him in the front yard but couldn't find him.
Unable to glean any further information from Granny Chen, Yin Fu had no choice but to continue his arduous journey to the Prince's study, his old legs swaying with each step.
As soon as they turned to the front yard, they saw a servant running over with a panicked expression, clutching several large sheets of paper in his hand.
"Master Butler...Master Butler, look at this!"
The servant spread out several large sheets of paper in front of Yin Fu.
All of those large sheets of paper had the same sentence written on them—
It's fate—the Prince Yi's Mansion is the third to accept ill-gotten gains!
The third one... the third one...
Could it be... just as Aunt Liu said, that the people who stole the Princess's belongings were the same group who stole the belongings from the Marquis of Qinxing's residence?
If the Marquis of Qinxing's mansion is the first, and the Prince Yi's mansion is the third, then... which one is the second?
Everyone in the capital knows that when the Marquis of Qinxing lost his property, it was all gone, not even a scrap of paper was left!
Could it be that only the princess's courtyard in the Prince Yi's mansion was looted?
Where is the storeroom in this mansion where valuables are kept?
What about the prince's private treasury?
What about the former princess's dowry in the main courtyard?
And what about the accounting department?
