Chapter 347 - Are You Planning To Rob Us? (1)

After reaching the city lord’s mansion, Leng Ruoxue got Rise to cast an invisibility spell on them and hid in the dark…

At this moment, City Lord Pig had just returned to the city lord’s mansion and already arranged for his newly promoted head steward to retrieve the items from the treasury according to the list while he sat waiting in the chair in the main hall. Alas! I hope this matter caused by Furong ends soon. After all, he couldn’t afford to offend the Mystic Association.

“Husband, you have to uphold justice for our daughter!” Zhu Furong’s biological mother, the second madam of the city lord’s mansion, ran in with a crying face. She knelt in front of Zhu Binghuan and hugged his thigh tightly.

“What do you want now?” Zhu Binghuan roared with a splitting headache. Damn it, every one of them makes me worry. His daughters were causing trouble outside all day, and these women in the family didn’t stop either. Apart from being jealous, they actually dared to cuckold him. Hmph!

“Husband, our daughter has suffered so much. You have to uphold justice for her!” The second madam wailed.

“Uphold justice? What justice? Do you know who did it? Can you find them?” Zhu Binghuan roared angrily. Damn, these troublesome women really think I’m omnipotent!

“Husband, Furong suspects that it was the two people she captured. Husband, we can’t let them go,” the second madam said fiercely. Boohoo… Her daughter was basically ruined, so she had to find a scapegoat this time. Otherwise, her husband would definitely not let Furong off easily.

“You mean the two people in the cell did it?” Zhu Binghuan questioned.

“Yes. Furong said that there could be no one else except them,” the second madam said with certainty. Anyway, she would insist on this, and she believed that with her husband’s ability, he could definitely convict the two of them even if there was no evidence. Alas! Furong can forget about marrying into a good family in the future since such a thing happened. Thus, she had to find someone to vent her anger on! And those two people were the two unlucky people…

“Weren’t they locked up in the cell? How could they have the chance to do it?” Zhu Binghuan continued to question.

“They must have escaped,” the second madam guessed.

“Nonsense. Those two people were properly locked up in the cell. Moreover, do you know their identities?” Zhu Binghuan roared furiously. He didn’t even have the time to send those two plague gods away. How could he dare to cause them trouble!

“Husband, could it be that they have some extraordinary identity?” the second madam asked doubtfully. That’s impossible, isn’t it? Furong said that they’re just ordinary commoners. Moreover, they don’t seem to have any background.

“Those two are from the Mystic Association. The Mystic Association! Do you dare make them into scapegoats?” Zhu Binghuan roared. Hmph! What a pig’s head! No wonder her daughter is equally stupid!

“H-how is this possible?” The second madam said in disbelief.

“Why not? President Lan said it himself. How could it be fake? Hmph! Do you know how much wealth our Zhu family lost because of your good daughter? Go pack up for Furong and get her to marry into the Sun family three days later,” Zhu Binghuan ordered resolutely.

“Husband, you can’t treat Furong like this! She is your daughter,” the second madam cried. She was unwilling to let her daughter marry into the Sun family. Even though the Sun Family was one of the Three Great Families, she knew very well what the situation with the Sun family was. Boohoo… None of the women who married into the Sun family could live for more than three years.

“I don’t want a daughter who only knows how to cause trouble for me all day,” Zhu Binghuan said ruthlessly.

“Husband!” The second madam opened her mouth to say something, but Zhu Binghuan interrupted her…

“Say nothing else. I’ve already made up my mind,” Zhu Binghuan said forcefully.

Seeing that she could no longer do anything, the second madam wiped the tears off her face and was about to leave when she saw the head steward rushing into the main hall…

“Master, bad news. Our treasury has been robbed,” the head steward said loudly. Boohoo… He was originally the deputy steward of the city lord’s mansion. He had just replaced the head steward after the incident, but he didn’t expect to encounter such a thing on the first day of his promotion. Boohoo…

Zhu Binghuan grabbed the head steward’s collar and roared with a red face, “What did you say? Say it again!”

“Master, our… our treasury was robbed,” the head steward stammered.

“How is that possible? That place is very secretive. How could it be robbed?” Zhu Binghuan really couldn’t believe this. He was extremely confident in the security of his treasury.

“Master, look at this.” The head steward handed him a piece of paper with trembling hands.

Zhu Binghuan took the note, opened it, and read it. Then he crumpled the note fiercely and threw it on the ground while striding toward the treasury.

When they arrived at the treasury, Zhu Binghuan looked at the empty treasury. Blood rushed to his head, and his vision darkened as he fainted…

“Husband!”

“Master!”

The second madam and the head steward exclaimed as they rushed over to help Zhu Binghuan.

“My treasures! My lifelong collection!” The first thing Zhu Binghuan did when he woke up was to cry loudly. Boohoo… All my treasures are gone. This was even more unbearable for him than losing his parents!

“Master, you…” The second madam didn’t know how to console him. Her heart ached too since all the money was gone! Boohoo…

“Steward, compile an announcement immediately to make this Great Sage, Heaven’s Equal a wanted person!” Zhu Binghuan ordered with tears in his eyes.

“Yes, Master. I’ll go right away,” the head steward hurriedly said while wiping the sweat off his forehead before turning to leave.

“Husband, what should we do?” the second madam asked fearfully. How could their family live without this money?

“Who am I supposed to ask? Do you know that I have to compensate those two mystics because of your good daughter? Where am I supposed to find enough riches to compensate them now?!” Zhu Binghuan roared furiously. What a bunch of incompetent women. Boohoo…
