The Lucky Farmgirl

The Fourth Brother had squandered his wealth through gambling, leaving their mother in a critical state. To make matters worse, the creditors even asked them to sell Manbao to settle the debts! In the village, whispers spread that the golden days of the Zhou Family's cherished Manbao were over. Their elderly mother clung to Manbao's hand, tears streaming down her face. However, Manbao tightly grasped a system in her hand, a tool that would lead her and her brothers and sisters-in-law to reclaim their fortunes. They ventured into agriculture, cultivating land, growing medicinal herbs, and establishing shops, steadily improving their lives. As their situation improved, concerns shifted to Manbao's marital prospects by the sister-in-laws. "Mr. Zhuang's grandson is an excellent match – educated and well-spoken. He is just perfect for you." "No! You should consider Mr. Qian's youngest son, who is handsome and well-mannered. You can count on him never to defy you." Suppressing a smile, Manbao responded, "My heart is already set. I choose Bai Shanbao, my childhood friend whom I've playfully scolded since we were young."

Chapter 255: Hole Card

Without evidence, they can't just arrest people willy-nilly.

Therefore, Wei Zhi asked her, "The items Bai Qi took with him back then..."

That was the only evidence that could potentially convict everyone involved in the case. Without it, they would have to start the investigation all over, and the amount of manpower and resources that would be consumed is untold, not to mention the uncertain outcomes.

Hearing him say this, Ms. Liu's shoulders slumped in resignation.

She had anticipated this, but once Wei Zhi confirmed it, she couldn't help feeling disappointed.

After a pause, she said, "One of the servants who fled with Qi'er managed to survive, his name is Erji. But I can't hand him over to you just yet. If one day you can bring the mastermind to justice and need a witness, I will hand him over."

"And the items?"

That was what mattered most.

Ms. Liu shook her head and said, "I've been searching for them all these years."
