Other than the screams in the hall, there was nothing else. The four guards were quickly beaten to a pulp. Almost everyone in the hall could not help but tremble when they heard the screams and the figure that was slowly turning into a bloody mess.

On the other hand, Chu Moxi's eyes were constantly watching the expressions on the Eldest Madam's and Third Madam's face. The Eldest Madam's face was flickering with happiness, while the Third Madam's head was lowered without any expression.

The four guards had been beaten into a bloody mess. They didn't even have time to scream, only a grunt. At this time, Lin Xuan had finally stopped.

His gaze swept across the four guards before he raised his head and said, "Bring them down and lock them up. Then, bring the guards who were previously guarding the warehouse back up." Four people were then carried down and replaced by four other people. However, it was obvious that they had seen the miserable states of the other four people. They stood in front of Lin Xuan while trembling from head to toe.

"Did you find out that the warehouse was stolen?" Lin Xin was very pleased with their reactions. In his heart, he was planning to directly punish these four people if they didn't confess.

At this moment, a figure hurried over and whispered into Lin Xuan's ear.

The latter tilted her head to look at the four people, and finally nodded her head. Then, she said something to that person, and that person left.

When Lin Xuan's face turned around again, he returned to his original appearance. He looked at the four of them, as if waiting for their answer.

"No, we didn't." Avon lowered his head. According to his wife's instructions, all he had to do was say he didn't know.

"What about you?" Lin Xuan's gaze swept past Ah Wang and landed on the other three.

At this time, Lin Xuan's tone softened. After all, the four of them had left on the evening of the second day after the Duke's Birthday. Even if they had been robbed, it had nothing to do with them.

No matter how amazing a thief, it wasn't an easy task to steal away a whole warehouse without alerting them in the next yard.

Unless the opponent's strength was far above theirs, if even the shaking photon of a Psionic Imperial Realm expert could not discover it, then the opponent …

Therefore, the Duke's attitude on this matter was to make him use the four guards from before to take the blame and let this matter pass. After all, the other party's strength could be very terrifying and shouldn't be provoked!

"None …" They all shook their heads.

"That is truly unfortunate! "Steward Lin …" Lin Xuan narrowed his eyes, as if he was somewhat angry.

Housekeeper Lin immediately walked out of the line after hearing the order, "Greetings, General."

When Lian'er saw Housekeeper Lin in front of her, she reflexively shrunk and then her entire body started to tremble.

Chu Moxi, who was standing beside Lian'er, immediately felt Lian'er's reaction. She tilted her head and whispered, "Lian'er, what's wrong?" As she spoke, Chu Moxi's gaze landed on Butler Lin who was standing in front of Lin Xuan.

"No …." "Nothing …" Lian'er's eyes were fixed on Housekeeper Lin who was in front of her. He was the one who had her brought to the servants' room, and it was the two men who had ordered her to be beaten to death.

At that time, she really thought she was going to die, but in the end, her boss had saved her.

"Lian'er, did that Steward Lin beat you up?" Chu Moxie's eyes swept across Butler Lin. Hmph, if you dare to touch this old lady's person, this old lady will make you feel worse than death.

"No …" "No …" Lian'er shook her head with all her might. She couldn't let her eldest brother take the risk because of her.

"Oh?" Chu Moxi did not nod or shake her head. Instead, her eyes were once again fixed on Housekeeper Lin's body.

"Housekeeper Lin, tell me, these things have all passed through your hands, you should be clear about what's going on." When Lin Xuan saw this steward Lin, his tone was much better. After all, everyone knew that Steward Lin was the person most rarely seen in Duke Chu's household. Even if it was the Duke himself, he would have absolute trust in him.

"On the evening of the 10th, I organized all the gifts and compared them with the records I had made in my account book. Until yesterday, at the command of the Duke, he had come to the storehouse to prepare a present for entering the palace today. I just found out that the warehouse was stolen. " The expression on Housekeeper Lin's face was no different from usual. He looked like a good-natured gentleman.

However, only Chu Moxi knew that this Steward Lin was definitely someone who belonged to the Madam. After all, everyone knew that she had only offended the Madam, so who else would the Duke's Mansion allow their men to wear small shoes other than the Madam's line?

"Alright." Lin Xuan nodded his head, gesturing for Butler Lin to leave. After bowing towards Lin Xuan, the latter slowly returned to his original position.

When he passed by the first wife, his expression didn't change at all.

An old fox who knew how to act! In her heart, Chu Moxi had made Housekeeper Lin into a very special person. To think that there would be such an old fox in this foreign world.

The third lady's expression turned even more unsightly when she saw that her husband had not been punished in the slightest.

Her gaze turned towards Lin Xuan, "General Lin, this is your mistake. You should treat everyone here fairly, right? Why were only the four of them punished, and yet these four only asked a few questions? " Third Madame's eyes were closed, showing her doubts.

"Third Madam, this Subordinate would like to ask. What day did the warehouse fill up? When did these four leave the warehouse? The mansion only gradually quieted down around the fourth fragment of the night. This subordinate would like to ask the third lady, what's wrong with this subordinate? " Hearing the third wife's doubts, Lin Xuan's complexion darkened.

"No …." "No." Third Madam was frightened by Lin Xuan's voice and even stuttered a little.

"That's good." Lin Xuan's expression eased up.

Third Wife's neck was hunched, while the First Wife's face was expressionless, but in her heart, she was already laughing out loud.

She had not expected the third wife to eat such a big piece of turtle and even beat her to the ground. At that time, when she received the news that the warehouse had been robbed, she was almost scared silly. But it just so happened that the Duke had deprived her of the right to preside over the inner court, and she too had been grounded. Jun Li kept quiet for fear of provoking trouble.

Jun Li had been planning to use this matter to make the third lady pay for her actions ever since the third lady started to clean up the mess. She had expected the matter to go according to her plan.

"Disperse!" Lin Xuan was not a heartless person. It was only natural that he would have to reluctantly dig his way out of the bed in the middle of the night.

Hearing Lin Xuan's order to disperse, Chu Moxi immediately pulled Lian'er along with her and left with the crowd.

Lian'er struggled a few times before leaving with Chu Moxi.
