Chapter 1082 Axe Smashes Lock, Head Shrinks and Lands
The group of maids and servants who rushed in were terrified when they saw the empty room and their master sitting blankly on the ground. They trembled with fear and turned ashen-faced.
"Thump... thump... thump..."
No one knows who started it, but one after another, all the maids and servants knelt on the ground.
Is this... this has been burgled in the Princess's courtyard?
If thieves steal gold, silver, or jewelry, that's one thing, but... what kind of thief has robbed their courtyard? They managed to silently remove even the beds, wardrobes, tables, and chairs!
Wait... everything's been moved out... everything's been moved out...
correct!
Not long ago, in this very capital city, didn't the Qinxing Marquis's mansion, which had already fallen from power, experience a similar situation?
I heard that the entire Marquis's mansion was emptied out overnight!
I also heard that apart from the young lady who was taken away by her maternal family and was not in the mansion at the time, all the other masters in the mansion were left in their undergarments and were just thrown on the open ground in the house.
Looking at what's in front of me... the scene before me is exactly the same as the Qinxing Marquis's mansion back then!
Could it be... that the Prince Yi's residence has also been targeted by those people?
They came to Prince Yi's mansion again and emptied their princess's courtyard once more.
I wonder if the other parts of the Prince's mansion have also been raided by that group of thieves!
But the current situation is that, regardless of the condition of the other courtyards, only their courtyard has become like this, and they, as servants, are also to blame!
If the master gets angry, he will first investigate them and ask only one question: Are you all dead?
They can't even keep an eye on a courtyard!
The entire yard has been emptied out, and you didn't even notice?
Will their lives be spared?
Actually, when this place was emptied out, they really were just like the dead!
Was Leng Rongyue's sedative spray just for fun?
At this moment, all the servants knelt on the bare ground, guarding their terrified mistress, each one silent and trembling with fear!
Shui Simiao was truly terrified at this moment!
Her mind had gone completely blank!
Ever since the Emperor issued the imperial decree, bestowing upon her the title of Princess Yi, she began to dislike this courtyard.
After all, compared to the main courtyard of the principal wife, this concubine's courtyard is simply not good enough and is no longer worthy of her current status as the principal wife!
Shui Simiao longed to move to the main courtyard of the principal wife.
But... wanting to move to the main courtyard of the principal wife is one thing, but everything in this courtyard also belongs to her, and it will be moved to the main courtyard with her!
But now... it's all gone... all gone...
Many of these items were part of her dowry!
Dowry...dowry...
Thinking of her dowry, Shui Simiao suddenly sprang to her feet as if she had risen from the dead, shoving the maids and servants blocking her way until they stumbled and fell...
Like a madwoman, Shui Simiao, with her hair disheveled, wearing only a white undergarment and barefoot, rushed out of the house and ran all the way to the backyard.
Seeing the princess run out like a madwoman, the kneeling maids and servants quickly got up and chased after her, running towards the back together.
When they caught up with her and arrived at the storeroom in the backyard where Shui Simiao's dowry was stored, they saw Shui Simiao staring at the large brass lock hanging on the door, grinning foolishly...
Thankfully, the lock is still there. It seems the thief couldn't open the padlock and couldn't get into the warehouse.
Very good!
Thank God, her dowry is still there!
Shui Simiao desperately wanted to see the dowry in the storeroom with her own eyes. She was itching to see it!
For Shui Simiao now, perhaps only by truly seeing her dowry can she find some comfort after the excessive fright she experienced this morning.
Just the key... the key...
"Quickly! Bring me the warehouse keys, hurry!"
Shui Simiao shouted hoarsely, urging the maid beside her to quickly fetch the key to unlock the door.
The maidservant beside him habitually responded, bowed, and turned to run away, but suddenly stopped in her tracks.
The little maid slowly turned her head and looked at Shui Simiao with trembling eyes.
"You lowly servant, didn't you hear what I, the princess, ordered?"
"Hurry up and get the keys!"
Seeing that the maid was standing still, Shui Simiao was so angry that she raised her hand to hit her.
The young maidservant knelt on the ground with a thud, her voice trembling as she said, "Your...Your Highness, the key...the key has always been...in your dressing case, but now the dressing case...the dressing case..."
Upon hearing the maid mention the dressing case, not only Shui Simiao, but all the maids and servants present realized that the key had always been kept in Shui Simiao's dressing case, but the dressing case... had long since disappeared!
Smash it!
Break the lock for me, the princess!
Smash it!
Shui Simiao screamed shrilly.
"Yes, Princess!"
The maids and servants dared not delay and quickly scattered to find suitable tools.
An old woman found a wood-chopping axe in the small kitchen, ran back in a few steps, and smashed it down hard on the large brass lock...
One... two... three...
With a clang, the lock fell to the ground.
Shui Simiao couldn't wait for anyone else to make a move, so she rushed forward and pushed the door open...
