Traveling to another world, inheriting a mess at the beginning

After traveling to another world for a week, Aarons finally got some free time temporarily.

With more than 100 gold coins in hand, the empty house became lively. Aarons even felt that he no longer needed to think about regaining the territory, and it might be good to just eat and wait for death.

However, after he got up this morning, he received some bad news.

"Master, it seems that some small items have been lost at home recently. The amount of emergency funds you put outside for the children is also a little different from the account."

After Xia Ye, who was in charge of finance, reported the matter to Aarons with the account, he was still a little unconvinced.

"Is there less money? Did someone buy something and not report it? Maybe the lost things were damaged by the children?"

"According to the report of Miss Karin, who is responsible for guarding the mansion, there is no record of the two supervisors entering and leaving the mansion recently. The lost things are some reserve materials that have just been purchased, mainly food and daily necessities."

"It's not a big deal, there is no need to be so nervous."

After all, there are nearly 20 people in the family including the children, and there will definitely be some small problems.

Aarons didn't intend to dwell on such trivial matters, but Xia Ye looked very serious.

"No, please reconsider it. If these things were taken by the children, you need to admonish and educate them about the harmfulness of such behavior. And if it was taken by us servants, then you also need to punish them."

"Don't even exclude you?"

"Before the truth is found out, everyone is suspected. As the head of the family, you need to find out the truth and maintain the order in the mansion and your own dignity."

There is nothing wrong with Xia Ye's suggestion.

Although the scale of this matter is still very small, a small loophole may cause huge problems in the future. Aarons certainly knows this truth, but he really doesn't want to doubt the people around him.

And Xia Ye's expressionless and cold appearance when she talked about this matter also made him feel a little irritated.

"Okay, then this young master will ask you first, how do you want to prove your innocence?"

Since she took the initiative to include herself in the suspects, Aarons is not going to be polite.

"If this young master suspects that this matter is actually done by you, just to provoke the relationship between me and other people in the mansion, how should you explain it?"

"My daughter has no way to prove her innocence now. If you are sure that this matter is done by my daughter, please publicly announce your conclusion and punishment measures to everyone in the mansion."

What's wrong with this girl? Why is she so serious about this matter?

Aarons has no idea what Xia Ye is thinking, but he doesn't think other people will do such petty theft.

"Hmph, then it's as you wish... Hey, Karin, call everyone in the mansion to the activity room on the first floor. I have something to announce to everyone."

After picking up the internal line and contacting Karin who was on duty at the gate, Aarons raised his chin towards the expressionless Aries beauty, motioning her to go downstairs with him.

Soon, everyone came to the large living room on the first floor that had been transformed into an activity room.

"No need to say polite words. This young master called everyone here at this time because something happened in the mansion."

In this spacious room, Karin, Xia Ye and the old gardener stood together with the Mo family couple, while the children sat at the table as if they were listening to a class.

However, most of the people present were confused at this time, not knowing what Aarons wanted to say.

"Someone reported to me today that some money and things were lost in the mansion these days. I don't know what happened, and I don't think any of you would do such a petty theft."

Looking at Aarons's somewhat blackened face, not only were the children too scared to speak, but the slightly older Els and Mary also showed surprised expressions.

"But I don't intend to ignore this matter! There used to be a worm like the housekeeper in the Marquis's mansion, and now I will never tolerate such a person appearing again!"

As soon as these words came out, everyone present became nervous. Aarons pointed at Xia Ye who was standing aside without hesitation, and asked her to take the initiative to step forward and walk among the crowd.

"I don't have any definite evidence to prove who did this, but as the person in charge of the mansion's accounts and procurement, she is the most likely to embezzle!"

Although Xia Ye herself did not make any excuses, the children and others exploded at once.

"Teacher Xia Ye is a good person! She won't do such a thing!"

"No, it's impossible. Miss Xia Ye will definitely not do such a thing. Old servant, I can guarantee it!"Seeing the reactions of the people around him, Aarons also felt that something was a bit strange. But in order to maintain his dignity, he still spoke out his decision loudly.

"Be quiet! This young master is not an unreasonable and ruthless person, but he will not let go of the bad guys who dare to covet the property of the Marquis! So this young master announces that from now on, all of Xia Ye's work will be suspended and she will be temporarily detained in the underground punishment room until she finds solid evidence or clears her suspicion!"

Such a merciless decision surprised everyone, and some children were even scared and burst into tears.

But Aarons didn't intend to change his mind at all.

"Whether she did it or not, this young master must take measures to stop this from happening again! Karin, take the person away!"

And the Aries beauty, who never defended herself from beginning to end, didn't even show a trace of fear or uneasiness.

"... Follow the instructions of the young master."

After watching the wolf beauty take Xia Ye away, Aarons looked around at the people present again.

The younger children were crying and making a fuss because their favorite teacher was punished, and the Mo family couple tried their best to comfort the children. The old gardener seemed a little at a loss, and he didn't say a complete sentence for a long time.

——Only the young Els kept his head down and said nothing, as if he was hiding something.

"Humph, if this young master is right, this kind of thing will probably not happen again. If we find evidence to prove that it was the sheep girl, then we will have to ask her to spend a few years in prison!"

——Aarons said this last sentence specifically to Els and Mary.

After all, these children have not learned how to hide the secrets in their hearts, so Aarons can see at a glance that they must know something.

However, this matter may not be as simple as he thought.

"Okay, this young master has only so much to say. If you find evidence, just give it to me privately."
