Mu Zhengbai thought that if he got that box of gold and silver jewelry, he would be able to live well and be carefree for the rest of his life. There would be no need to stay here and live in a shabby woodshed, and there would be no need to be annoyed by a group of rebellious juniors all day long. , won’t be ridden on top of your head by a small animal!

Mu Zhengbai was still thinking about secretly keeping the box of gold and silver jewelry for himself, and immediately planned to follow him to have a look. He couldn't see anything standing here, and couldn't even hear the voices speaking over there, but he was anxious. broken.

"Creak!" With a sound, he pushed open the woodshed door in front of him and walked quickly towards the old tree.

But when Mu Zhengbai walked there, Mu Yunxiao and Ruan He had already left, and the box of gold and silver jewelry had disappeared without a trace.

He stamped his feet angrily and looked around the century-old tree. The excavated layer of soil had been covered again, and there was no difference from before.

This shows that the box of gold and silver jewelry has been taken away by Ruan He and the others.

Mu Zhengbai showed a thoughtful look, and punched the hard tree trunk angrily. A large red stain appeared on his fist, and he wailed in pain.

Damn it! Where did they hide that box of gold and silver jewelry?

Mu Zhengbai wondered where the box of gold and silver jewelry was probably hidden. He had to go and take a look!

No matter what, he must get this box of treasures, fly away, and never stay here again to suffer!

While thinking, Mu Zhengbai hurriedly walked to the front yard. He looked anxiously around the large house. He walked back and forth around the house several times, but did not see the particularly eye-catching big box.

No matter how many times he wandered around, Mu Zhengbai really couldn't find the location of the big box, and only the residences of other members of the Mu family were left unsearched.

At this moment, Mu Zhengbai naturally learned a little cleverness. He knew that he could not alert the enemy. If Ruan He became wary of him, it would be impossible for him to get close to that large box of gold and silver jewelry. .

However, he was naturally unwilling to give up. He just walked back and forth in the room several times without any clue, which inevitably made Mu Zhengbai feel anxious.

Probably... that large box of gold and silver jewelry was hidden in the residence of Mu Yunxiao and Ruan He, which was the most spacious and comfortable room in such a large house - the west wing.

Since today was the first day of moving into the house, the city lord allowed brothers Mu Yunxiao and Mu Yunchao to take another day off. At this time, Mu Yunchao was walking to the yard and following his grandmother's instructions, he took out the broom in the yard. After going in, he turned around and saw Mu Zhengbai's wretched and unaware figure. He frowned slightly, with a trace of suspicion and vigilance in his eyes. He walked forward and asked, "Dad? Are you squatting?" What are you doing here?" Mu Zhengbai was squatting by the well in the courtyard. From this position, he could see the movement in the west wing. He was so focused on what he was doing that he didn't notice the footsteps approaching beside him. He suddenly heard Hearing Mu Yunchao's voice, his whole body trembled, his legs and feet went weak, and he almost turned around and fell into the well.

"Ah!" Mu Zhengbai was panicking and frightened, and let out a loud and frightened cry. He seemed to be afraid that he would accidentally fall into the well, so he hurriedly pulled the big stone beside the well, and pulled it for a long time. The ground exhaled a breath, and his heart barely returned to its true place.

When he came back to his senses, he realized that the person standing next to him was his youngest son Mu Yunchao. Just now, the traitor had threatened him, causing him to almost fall into the well. Suddenly, Mu Zhengbai felt annoyed in his heart. Standing up, he turned his head and glanced angrily, and with a loud voice, he poured all the resentment he had just about falling into the well onto Mu Yunchao, who had a better temper, and roared angrily: "You want to Are you scaring me to death? Go away! Leave me alone!"

While talking, Mu Zhengbai still seemed to feel that he was not relieved enough. He cursed a few more times at the top of his voice, and cursed Mu Yunchao all over his head and face.

This scolding made Mu Yunchao feel a little aggrieved. Due to what Mu Zhengbai had done in the past six months, and his sister-in-law's regular teachings, he now did not regard himself as a relative who was not a human being at all. Dad took it all seriously. He curled his lips in grievance and displeasure, but the words in his mouth showed no intention of slowing down at all. He retorted unceremoniously: "I'm just asking, you have to lie down on your own." By the well..."

If this father hadn't done his job properly and did all kinds of sneaky bad things, he wouldn't have been suspicious and came up to ask twice. He didn't even speak at the top of his voice. He just asked a question in an ordinary way. Thinking that Mu Zhengbai would be so scared...

On a normal day, Mu Zhengbai would have been furious and cursed at his unfilial son's rebellious words, but today Mu Zhengbai was really thinking about something else and had no time to say anything else to him. , waved his hands impatiently, and greeted irritably: "Go, go, go! You don't need to ask me what I'm doing!"

Mu Zhengbai squatted on the edge of the yard in a state of embarrassment. Due to the fall just now, he now did not dare to go near the well water. He just lay on the ground and looked around, and from time to time he fell on something not far away. In the west wing room, you can vaguely hear voices coming from inside.

Now, Ruan He was still busy in the room, and it was impossible for him to break in directly, otherwise the powerful and fierce poisonous woman might just pick up the knife and threaten him.

The former Marquis Mu Zhengbai, who had always been arrogant and brainless in his life, rarely thought carefully about his strategy. After thinking about it for a long time, he finally remembered that he could hire a thief outside and steal the big box secretly.

You don't have to do it yourself to avoid being caught by Ruan He, and you can let a more agile thief complete this task smoothly.

Maybe... the only trouble is that he will probably have to use a lot of the big box of gold and silver jewelry to deal with this thief.

However, if he could get hold of such a large box of gold, silver and jewelry, even if he took out a few dazzling gems from it, he would not have to worry about living comfortably for the rest of his life.

Wealth is in danger!
A trace of evil flashed in Mu Zhengbai's eyes. He stood up from the ground, patted his hands that were stained with soil, and walked slowly and leisurely out of the yard. He walked with a rather proud and carefree manner. He was already in the courtyard. Thinking about the happy days after getting that box of gold and silver jewelry. (End of chapter)
