Although Li Jingxuan felt that if the flower thief could really nail the willow leaf dart and portrait to Xiao Lingxiao's door quietly, the eldest lady and Xiao Lingxiao changed yards to live, but Xiao Shumou and others present did not refute it, and he had to acquiesce in the matter.

But at this time, Xiao Lingxiao had already made up her mind, stood up and said to the eldest lady, "Mother is right, we don't have a reason to go back now." I believe that with you here, the thieves will not succeed. Mother, Ling Xiao went back to live in that courtyard, don't worry. ”

When the eldest lady heard this, she smiled with satisfaction.

At this time, Xiao Lingxiao turned her head and asked Li Jingxuan, "Sixth Highness, I don't know how long it will take for the flower thief to commit the crime after he usually leaves a willow leaf dart and a portrait?" ”

Li Jingxuan frowned and replied, "In the past, the cases were about two or three days apart......"

Xiao Lingxiao nodded, and bowed to him and Xuan slightly, "In those few days, I will have to worry a few more times." ”

Li Jingxuan nodded in response, secretly admiring Xiao Lingxiao's fearless courage in the face of things, recalling Xiao Lingxiao's calm appearance in the face of the gambling game of 10,000 taels of silver when he was in Wanguanzhuang that day, and the sixth prince vaguely felt that this woman might not be a person who would sit still. Maybe she has some countermeasures? Li Jingxuan was extremely curious.

And Li Xuan, who was sitting next to him, was calm, could the owner of their wolf clan be afraid of a bullshit flower thief? Hum! Joke! It's just that it seems that the master has already confronted the eldest lady of the Xiao family, and I don't know if she needs her help. Xuan pondered when he should go to the master and ask.

The most sullen people present were naturally the four princes, and from beginning to end, Xiao Lingxiao didn't look at him more. The feeling of being rejected thousands of miles away was really unbearable for him. So when everyone dispersed, he quickly caught up with Xiao Lingxiao.

"Ling Xiao!" The fourth prince stopped Xiao Lingxiao and said with a look of resentment, "Why don't you insist on returning to the Prime Minister's Mansion?" It's too dangerous to stay here! ”

Xiao Lingxiao frowned and said coldly, "The Fourth Highness is wrong, there are at least the warrior monks of Fali Temple and the personal guards of the Sixth Highness to protect me here, if I return to the Prime Minister's Mansion, then who else can care about my life or death?" ”

When the fourth prince heard this, he immediately made a heartache and said in a deep voice, "You're right, it's all because I failed to convince my father...... Lingxiao, don't worry, I'll go and beg my father again! The sixth brother has a personal guard, and I also have a personal guard to protect you! You can rest assured......"

Without waiting for the fourth prince to finish speaking, Xiao Lingxiao interrupted him impatiently, "Fourth Highness, how can I, Xiao Lingxiao, let you bother so much?" If you're really so idle, why don't you go and find out who killed me in front of your door in the first place. When you find out, I'll have to settle this life and death account with him! ”

These words were like a sharp knife, stabbing the fourth prince fiercely, his face changed suddenly, a suspicious look flashed in his eyes, he paused, and then sneered, "If you don't say it, I really forget it, you Xiao Lingxiao has unique skills, strong martial arts, and a mere flower thief, probably can't help you." Looks like I'm really worried. ”

"Fourth Highness, it's good if you think about it, I, Xiao Lingxiao, am not a delicate flower raised in the yard, I don't need anyone's care, My Highness wants to marry a delicate flower as a concubine, so let's open my eyes and take a good look at others."

After that, Xiao Lingxiao took Bao Rong'er and turned around and left, and went straight back to the courtyard where she lived.

Back in the house, Bao Rong'er hurriedly asked, "Master, what do you say is going on?" ”

Xiao Lingxiao sneered, "It's not that the eldest lady can't bear the patience to get rid of me." ”

"That'...... What are we going to do? Bao Rong'er's eyes lit up, and she looked a little excited. Although she has not been with her master for a long time, she knows that her master never suffers, and whenever someone wants to do something to her, they can always watch a good show.

When Xiao Lingxiao came back, she deliberately took back the willow leaf dart and white silk left by the flower thief, she called out the divine wolf, and the three of them sat together and looked at these two things, Xiao Lingxiao asked, "Divine wolf, can you forge the exact same thing?" ”

The divine wolf pinched the willow leaf dart with his slender fingers and looked at it carefully, then raised his other hand, and the light in his hand flashed, and a willow leaf dart also appeared.

"Master, see if it's the same."

Xiao Lingxiao carefully inspected the two willow leaf darts, which were exactly the same.

"Where's this?" Xiao Lingxiao showed the white silk to the divine wolf, and the divine wolf said with some disgust, "Trouble! "It's not that it can't be done, but it's too troublesome!

Xiao Lingxiao glanced at him and handed the white silk to Bao Rong'er, "I went to find Xuan, he must have a way." By the way, tell him that no matter what happens, don't act rashly, I have my own arrangements. ”

Bao Rong'er picked up the white silk and asked, "Who does the owner want to paint the portrait on this?" ”

Xiao Lingxiao thought for a while, and smiled, "Although the eldest lady is a half-old, she still has a good look, and the flower thief will definitely be tempted, just her." ”

Bao Rong'er took the white silk to find Xuan, and after listening to her request, Xuan smiled bitterly and shook her head, I don't know what the master has to do with bad intentions, it seems that there is going to be a good show.

He found a piece of the same white silk, and drew the appearance of the eldest lady with a brush, and the charm of the pen was impeccable, no matter how you look at it, it is genuine.

"Patriarch, the flower thief that people say can't be you, right?" Bao Rong'er asked with a serious face.

Liao Xuan glared at her, and Bao Rong'er hurriedly slipped away.

In the early morning of the next day, there was really another uproar in the courtyard, and the flower thief came again, and this time the object he was targeting was actually the eldest lady.

The eldest lady's face was red and white, and her hands were shaking as she sat there. On the table was a willow leaf dart and a white silk portrait, which had been carefully examined by the six princes and were completely genuine.

Xiao Lingxiao deliberately sat next to the eldest lady, and she sighed lightly, "Alas, I originally thought that it would be enough for me to take risks alone, but I didn't expect that the flower thief actually fell in love with my mother again." Well. Mother, you are naturally beautiful, although you are old, you are still attractive, it seems that the flower thief is really quite discerning. ”

When everyone present heard this, they didn't know whether to refute it or to follow it. The eldest lady couldn't help but glared at Xiao Lingxiao, eager to tear open this cheap girl's mouth immediately.

At this time, I heard Xiao Shumou speak indifferently, "Sister-in-law, the flower thief came again last night, but the guards still didn't find anything, it seems that the flower thief really has some ability, why don't we set off and return to the Prime Minister's Mansion." ”

The eldest lady hesitated, and when she saw Xiao Lingxiao's appearance of smiling rather than smiling, her heart sank secretly. She clenched the fist in her sleeve, although she didn't know where Xiao Lingxiao got the willow leaf dart and the portrait, but she knew that this thing must have been done by Xiao Lingxiao! Cheap girl, do you think you can escape with such a means? Dream!

"Yesterday, I found out that the flower thief was eyeing Ling Xiao, and she didn't flinch, how could I, a mother, delay the big event of the Xiao family because of such a trivial matter? Third brother, do you and the Sixth Highness check again to see if there are any mistakes in the guards? Or, the secret passage dug up by the flower thief in this courtyard is unknown. ”

The eldest lady insisted on not leaving, and everyone couldn't force her to leave, so Liao Xuan took all the warrior monks, together with the guards of the Prime Minister's Mansion brought by Xiao Shumou and the guards of Wang Jia under Li Jingxuan, and carefully inspected the entire courtyard inside and out, and made sure that not even a single bird feather flew in and out of this courtyard at will, so they were relieved.

When these people were done, Xiao Huanyu and Xiao Huanxue came to the eldest lady's house, and the two came in and saw Begonia kneeling on the ground with tears streaming down her face, holding a large soft cloth in her mouth, stretching out an arm full of bruises, and the eldest lady was gritting her teeth and pinching Begonia's arm.

The two of them seemed to be accustomed to this, and came over to comfort softly, "Mother, don't be so angry with that cheap girl, it's not worth it to be angry and angry." ”

The eldest lady threw away Begonia's arm and scolded in a low voice, "You know how to cry!" Wiped away tears! Get out! ”

Haitang stood up and walked out quickly with her head down, and the eldest lady gritted her teeth and said angrily, "Damn cheap girl! I have to let her die a good death! ”

Xiao Huanyu poured a cup of tea for the eldest lady to help her calm down, Xiao Huanxue asked in a low voice with an expressionless face, "Mother, is there something wrong over there?" Otherwise, how could Xiao Lingxiao get those things? ”

The eldest lady took a sip of tea and shook her head, "Impossible! I don't know how Xiao Lingxiao got it, but that person is absolutely loyal to me! Everything went according to plan, and I don't believe that can play any tricks! ”

After saying this, the eldest lady lowered her voice and asked Xiao Huanxue, "What you saw that day must be right?" Xiao Lingxiao is really good with that wild girl? ”

At this time, Xiao Huanyu took over the conversation, "They're fine!" That wild girl still calls her sister-in-law! According to me, that monk Xuan is also a well-dressed beast, what a monk, maybe Xiao Lingxiao is not innocent with him! ”

The eldest lady frowned when she heard this, thought about it, and decided to put disposing of Xiao Lingxiao in the first place.

Just when the three of them were conspiring, guests also came to Xiao Lingxiao's residence.

Li Jingxuan used to wear the same robe as a literati, but today he wore soft boots with arm guards and a sword at his waist, Xiao Lingxiao asked with a smile, "Didn't His Royal Highness the Sixth Highness also serve as a guard outside this courtyard last night?" ”

Li Jingxuan smiled a little shyly, as if he was embarrassed to admit it. He couldn't be relieved last night, so he went out all night patrolling, and it wasn't until the morning that he heard a report about the eldest lady's affairs, and he hurried back.

"The flower thief has done a lot of evil and has strange whereabouts, I'm still worried about you, Miss Lingxiao...... I want to send someone to this courtyard to guard tonight, I don't know what Miss Lingxiao thinks? ”

Xiao Lingxiao lowered her head and pretended to think, then raised her head, and said with some embarrassment, "That day, His Royal Highness probably heard my sister scolding me, I am already living every day now, if I let the guards come to the courtyard again, I am afraid that it will be ......inappropriate."

Li Jingxuan was a little anxious when he heard this, "But what if the flower thief ......"

"It's naturally inappropriate for the guards to come in, Your Highness Sixth don't worry, it's okay to have us in the courtyard."

The words fell, and two men walked in.

Xiao Lingxiao looked up and saw that it was Xiao Ranjun and Xiao Fengming.
