Chapter 137: Stolen Bone Forming Elixirs (4)

“But everyone know about it now.” Murong Qingxue snorted, “Grandfather has found it out and he demands the truth, do you know what will happen to us if they find out it’s us?”

“Master knows about this?” Liu Mei asked in fear, “Master has found out the Recovery Elixir was stolen?”

“Correct.” Murong Qingxue nodded and asked hastily, “You need to tell me now who was it that had helped you steal the elixir, is he reliable?”

Murong Qingxue didn’t dwell on this when Liu Mei presented her the Recovery Elixir, she was counting on her luck. She thought the Treasury was not often visited by anyone, no way it could be found out any time soon.

Even if one day people would find it out, they would be pretty safe by then. Little did she expect Murong Xiong would find this out just within a few days and everyone in the family was in a state of anxiety.

“Leave this to me.” Liu Mei looked so calm and collected compared to Murong Qingxue, “that person is very trustworthy, as I told you before, no one would cast any doubt on us even though people find it out one day.”

Murong Qingxue didn’t understand why her mother acted like this was nothing serious, she couldn’t help but explode, “Mother, please tell me who it is! Otherwise how could you expect me to rest assured? Do you have any idea how serious the consequence is?”

“Don’t worry, Xue. I know exactly what I dragged myself into.” Liu Mei smiled at Murong Qingxue as a comfort, “The only reason that I had the guts to steal Recovery Elixir was because I was confident enough to not be implicated in it. Xue, don’t over think, just mind your own business as usual.”

“And keep visiting Nangong Ye like what you have been doing in the past few days, I guarantee you no one, no one in the family would cast any doubt on you.”

Seeing how confident Liu Mei was, Murong Qingxue frowned, “Mother, are you sure? I’m more curious about who that person is now, who deserves your trust like this?”

“Xue, I know what I am doing.” Liu Mei patter her daughter on the shoulder and continued, “Trust me, I know how great the consequence is, but as I told you before, I’ve already found a perfect scapegoat for us, don’t you worry about a thing.”

Murong Qingxue wasn’t entirely appeased, but seeing how determined her mother was, she gave up on inquiring who the person was. She knew the best she could do now was to just act normal.

On the other hand, Murong Qingyan who had heard about this didn’t have much reaction.

She wasn’t exactly attached with this family or the valuables in this family, to be bluntly honest, she didn’t care if the whole Treasury was robbed. It had nothing to do with her anyways.

With that being said, she was a bit curious to find out who had the guts to steal from Murong Family.

What Murong Qingyan didn’t know was she was dragged into this already.

Funny thing it was that you didn’t ask for trouble, but someone always threw trouble at you.

This day after lunch, her room was pushed open violently when Murong Qingyan was about to cultivate, to be accurate, the room was kicked open.

Her face clouded when she saw it was Lin Guangxiong, “Butler Lin, to what do I owe this honor?”

Murong Qingyan and Lin Guangxiong were already at feud with each other due to Lin Weiwei, but due to her recent victory at the contest, everyone in the family had at least been showing her some respect including Lin Guangxiong, so Murong Qingyan was confused why Lin Guangxiong just did that.

“The First Lady, master wants to see you.” demanded Lin Guangxiong.

He acted domineeringly without scruple this time, he was carrying out Murong Xiong’s order after all.

“He who comes is surely ill-intentioned”, thought Murong Qingyan. She could see a flash of smirk on Lin Guangxiong’s face.

Murong Qingyan followed Lin Guangxiong to the hall anyways, she didn’t want to offend Lin Guangxiong especially when he claimed he was carrying out Murong Xiong’s order.

Murong Qingyan knew it didn’t bode well when she set foot on the hall and saw the attendants. Murong Xiong’s face was so dark, and three Elders who rarely attended any family meetings were present, even Murong Xili and Murong Xiyi, Murong Xiong’s other two sons, were there.
