Lu Mou handed the list to his subordinate and said, “What the Grand Chancellor’s Wife said makes sense. After all, what we’ve discovered is only a one-sided story.”
“To avoid being biased, Lu Mou has his own solution.”
“Since the stolen place is the backyard of the Grand Chancellor’s Residence, it’s impossible for such a big disturbance to not leave any traces. Please allow the Grand Chancellor’s Wife to gather everyone in the Grand Chancellor’s Residence in the front courtyard. I want to interrogate them one by one!”
Before long, everyone in the Grand Chancellor’s Residence, including the master and servants, had gathered in the front hall.
The reason why Lu Mou was so famous was not only because he was ruthless, but also because his methods of handling cases were very good. His rate of solving cases was high.
Everyone was summoned, but he did not openly interrogate them. Instead, he interrogated them one by one in the side hall.
There were nearly 200 people in the Grand Chancellor’s manor, including the servants. The trial went on until night.
This group of bailiffs refused to leave, which really worried everyone in the Grand Chancellor’s Residence. Because of this, not only Liu Fuyun and his wife, but the rest of the Liu family were also filled with hatred towards Liu Shimei.
However, Liu Shimei was unhurried and more relaxed than anyone else!
“Liu Shimei, you said you wanted to let bygones be bygones, but now you’re doing this! What good will it do you if the Grand Chancellor’s Residence falls?” Madam Zhang was not as calm as Liu Fuyun. After all, she had a guilty conscience.
Liu Shimei looked at Madam Zhang. It seemed that Liu Fuyun had already told Madam Zhang about what happened yesterday!
Now, he was probably going to regret it to death, right?
She said expressionlessly, “The fall of the Grand Chancellor’s Residence is not good for me. But I’m very curious. You schemed against me and obtained the benefits. Have you never thought about hurting the face of the Grand Chancellor’s Residence? So, it’s not that I’m doing anything. I just have bad luck, huh?”
As he spoke, he looked at Liu Fuyun.
Liu Fuyun’s heart sank.
“Father, I said that I’ve put that matter behind me, but just because I don’t care about the past doesn’t mean that 1 can tolerate others climbing over my head and causing trouble!”
Liu Shimei’s voice was cold. “I don’t understand. Why did someone steal my things? Just because my life is miserable, her life can be good, is that it?”
“You found out about this when you came back last night. Why didn’t you tell me? This is a family matter, why bother bringing it to the Supreme Court!” Liu Fuyun looked into her eyes and knew that this was originally a small fight at home, but it really angered Liu Shimei!
Therefore, she deliberately blew up the matter and made it a life-and-death struggle!
Liu Shimei sneered,” If I tell Father, will you stand on my side? This isn’t the first time something like this has happened. How can I not know how Father will deal with it?”
Since there were many people, she did not mention it. You just suffered a loss at my place yesterday. Will you stand on my side and speak up for me if 1 tell you about this last night?
Liu Fuyun was stunned.
He would not!
He already hated Liu Shimei to begin with. If Liu Shimei had come back last night and told him that the storeroom had been robbed, he would not have said that he did not care, but he definitely would not have investigated this matter thoroughly. At most, he would turn the big issue into a small one, but he would never stand on Liu Shimei’s side!
Liu Shimei’s smile turned even colder. “Actually, Father is well aware of the culprit behind the theft. However, Father will not stand on my side and give me justice!”
She raised her chin slightly, looking a little domineering. “So, I’m looking for the Supreme Court to give me justice! Moreover, 1 heard from my Grandfather that the Deputy Head of the Supreme Court, Lord Lu Mou, has always enforced the law impartially and is not afraid of power. Therefore, when I went to the Supreme Court this morning to file a complaint, I waited in front of Lord Lu’s office and begged for a long time before Lord Lu agreed to take on this case!”
“You…”
It would have been better if she had not said this, but Liu Fuyun was even angrier now!
