Chapter 851: Plan backfired

When Su Yiqian heard that the matter had been settled, she sighed in relief. She hoped that the Lin and Su family would make things difficult for that imposter who was shamelessly living in her body.

But to her surprise, the Su Wan of now was hard to handle. She not only took the dowry away but she also worked hard to rise up in the town. Now Su Yiqian could only hope that the two families would go back to the town and pester Su Wan and her husbands!

Su Yiqian hated Su Wan with all her heart. That woman was now living in her body and enjoying the comforts which should have belonged to her, every time she thought of how the Shen family doted on Su Wan while they did not even care about her, Su Yiqian could not help but grind her teeth in anger.

What did that woman have that she did not?

Why do they all have to pamper her? And to disgust her even more that woman actually slept with all the five Lin brothers. Even though Su Yiqian"s soul was no longer attached to that body, she still considered it as her own. When she thought about how Su Wan used her body to sleep with those men, it felt as if someone had scattered red ants inside her pants!

According to her shadow guards, Su Wan was most probably the one who instigated these two families to come looking for her which means that her ident.i.ty was known to the Lin brothers as well as Su Wan.

This made Su Yiqian hate Su Wan even more.

It was a pity that she could not touch that woman for the time being but the more she thought about how Su Wan was using her body, it made Su Yiqian feel really terrible.

She did not want to pay attention to those people but as long as the Su Wan in the Dong Tong village was alive, Su Yiqian was sure that she would not be able to live her life worry-free. She had to make sure that the woman was dead and so were the Lin brothers!

Once these two families got out of her hair, she would deal with the Lin family. Even if they were skilled, Su Yiqian did not believe that Su Wan would be able to escape her grasp.

As Su Yiqian was thinking of a plan to kill Su Wan off for once and for all, she had no idea that Su Bai and Old Madam Su had already started to make a move.

After eating lunch, the two of them headed straight to the Yamen office. Su Bai complained to the officers that the money in the treasury of Imperial concubine Su was going missing slowly.

They could not even find the tally which showed what was kept inside the treasury.

Su Bai was a smart man. Thus he kept track of every place and everything that they brought from town. Though he and his family were greedy they were not foolish enough to make big purchases, they were here as "guests" and had to behave like one too.

He kept a tally with him and had the housekeeper press his thumb on it every day. The housekeeper might have thought that he was acting foolish since he and Su Yiqian already come up with a plan to deal with his family and thus he did not bother with anything.

Never did that housekeeper would have thought that Su Bai would cry wolf.

" Master this is the maid whom we caught near the treasury," Su Bai handed the maid whom they tied and smuggled out of the manor through the back door, to the capital magistrate. " She was lurking around the treasury in the middle of the night.

Yesterday afternoon the treasury had a jade vase and two cool jade pillows but now the treasury that the Imperial concubine gave us to take care of, is missing those things. My lord, please give us justice !"

The capital magistrate frowned he did not want to bother with this matter but then he remembered the order the crown prince gave to him. He said that as long as the matter was related to the Imperial concubine Su, he should deal with it as sternly as possible.

What was more there were brothers of an Imperial concubine working in the county magistrate"s office. Their sister lost an eye and almost lost her life because of Su Yiqian and her vicious schemes six months ago, how could they be willing to let this matter go? They immediately pressured the entire office to investigate the matter as quickly as possible.

This time Su Yiqian finally made a mistake how could they let the matter go just like that?

Thus the maid was taken inside the prison and was tormented until she coughed out that she had joined hands with shadow guards to steal the money from the treasury. She also confessed that the one behind the scheme was the Housekeeper.

Since the maid could not reveal the matter of Su Yiqian being the one behind the scenes she could only push the blame on the housekeeper.

Su Yiqian who was preparing to send those b.a.s.t.a.r.ds back to their village also received the news and trembled all over. The second she heard that the maid she had arranged was caught by the Yamen, she had a bad premonition rise in her heart.

She immediately wore her shoes and then rushed to the manor, she was afraid that if the housekeeper was caught he would definitely not hide her name as an accomplice. The maid grew up with her and was loyal to her but the housekeeper was just a greedy old man, if he was forced to suffer then he would surely give her name up.

" What happened?" As Su Yiqian hurried out of the palace, she turned to look at Xiao Yue and asked, " How come the capital magistrate caught Xiao Qi?" Her maids were exceptionally skilled there was no way they would be caught.

" It"s Su Bai and Lin Ze, they knew that the money in the treasury was going missing so they started to keep track of money as well as the gifts handed to you by your father. Last night they stayed close to the treasury and when they saw Xiao Qi lurking they caught her and also found the missing items," Xiao Yue replied cautiously.

" They then went to the capital magistrate and sent Xiao Qi to the prison. Though Xiao Qi did not give your name up, I am afraid that the housekeeper will not."
