Transmigrated Into the Vicious Stepmother in a Historical Novel - Chapter 137

After Xu Yuxia finished explaining, Lu Ting looked at her back with a pensive expression, feeling a bit puzzled.

It’s just that he didn’t know what was going on with Lu Jiefang today. He kept piling food onto his plate and urging him to eat more.

Whenever Lu Ting said he was full, Lu Jiefang would still ask him to keep eating.

This attitude made Lu Ting’s doubts grow deeper and deeper.

But since he was now having trouble with his legs and Lu Jiefang wouldn’t let him leave, Lu Ting could only stay at their house.

When they pushed Lu Ting out earlier, the door was not locked and was just closed.

After all, Lu Ting was in the house next door, so there was no need to lock the door.

The unlocked door gave Xu Yuxia a chance to go in.

She pushed open the door and headed straight to Sheng Fei’s room.

Xu Yuxia had already known which room Sheng Fei was in, so she pushed open Sheng Fei’s door and saw many new clothes and shoes in her room.

They were all women’s attire, and Xu Yuxia felt very indignant in her heart.

Why could Sheng Fei earn so much money and dress so well, while she, after marrying Lu Jiefang, only had a few sets of clothes a year? It was so unfair.

“Wow, these fabrics are all high quality. I wonder how much money Sheng Fei spent, she is really wasteful. It would be much better if she saved that money. No, I have to find where Sheng Fei’s money is stashed.”

Afraid of being discovered by Sheng Fei and causing trouble, Xu Yuxia didn’t dare to rummage through her things carelessly.

While searching Sheng Fei’s room, she also helped tidy and organize everything, for fear that Sheng Fei would notice that her room was in disarray.

Xu Yuxia was so careful because she was afraid of Sheng Fei.

Sheng Fei’s mouth was particularly eloquent, and she was very unrelenting. If Sheng Fei knew that she was rummaging through her things, she would probably start another commotion.

Xu Yuxia searched Sheng Fei’s bed for a while and rummaged through her closet, but only found clothes and shoes, nothing else.

It’s impossible. They couldn’t have hidden the money anywhere else.

Xu Yuxia stood in Sheng Fei’s room, looked around, and finally focused on the bed.

Because valuables are usually hidden in the bed. Xu Yuxia bent down and used a broom to probe the bed. Suddenly, the broom hit something hard. She used the broom to knock that thing. It seemed to be a box.

Xu Yuxia knelt by the bed. She squeezed her fat body and pulled the box out from under the bed.

“It seems there really is something. Maybe Sheng Fei hid the money in here. I’ll take it all from her. Let’s see what she’ll do after that.”

Xu Yuxia was just about to open the box, but found that it had a small lock.

It was actually locked.

Xu Yuxia simply hugged the box and left.

After leaving, she took advantage of the fact that no one in the courtyard was paying attention and directly took the box to her own room.

Earlier when Xu Yuxia left, she had already tidied up everything in Lu Ting’s courtyard.

She made sure that Lu Ting wouldn’t discover that someone had entered their home.

As soon as Xu Yuxia returned, Lu Jiefang’s attitude immediately changed.

He no longer piled food onto Lu Ting’s plate, but instead said that Lu Ting had eaten enough and pushed him back by the wheelchair.

“Brother, I’m full. I’ll go back now.”

“Okay, come back for dinner in the evening. You can go back now.”

After seeing Lu Ting off, Lu Jiefang secretly ran to their room.
