Chapter 20: The Aunt's Conspiracy
In the past few days, Aunt Xiao's courtyard has always been mysterious, and it is comfortable to have no Aunt Xiao to find fault. The starry sky was bright and the moon was shining at night, Ling Ruohui was sitting in front of the window with hot tea in her hand as always, and in this quiet night, she suddenly felt a little uneasy in her heart, as if something was going to happen. Just as he was about to blow out the candles, he heard the shouts of gongs and drums beating outside.
"Come on, there's a thief." Ling Ruoxuan could hear the shouts outside. How can there be thieves? Although the Prime Minister's Mansion is not larger than the Imperial Palace, there will not be thieves sneaking in. As soon as I thought of this, I heard a muffled bang behind me, and when I turned around, I saw a strange man lying on the ground, and a man in a night suit was standing next to him.
"Who are you?" Ling Ruoyi asked vigilantly.
"It's the king." The man took off his mask, and it was King Qi.
"King Qi? What is the reason why you broke into my boudoir in the middle of the night. Ling Ruoyi's tone was not good.
"It's so sad, this king saved you, just don't be grateful, why do you still question this king."
"Can you help me?" Ling Ruoyi looked at the man who fell to the ground.
"Yes, this king just passed by the door of the Prime Minister's Mansion and saw this man sneaking into your room, so this king followed." King Qi said proudly.
"Did you pass by? Passing by in a nightwalk? The devil believes in you. Ling Ruoyi said with a displeased face.
The voices outside were getting louder and louder, "Where did any of you see that thief?" Aunt Xiao's voice sounded.
"Aunt Xiao, the slave saw the thief running into the Fengyin Pavilion." Butler Wu Jian echoed.
Hearing this, King Qi picked up the man lying on the ground, took out a small porcelain bottle and shook it at the man's nose, and the man woke up. "Say, what are you doing in Miss Ling's room? If you don't tell the truth, you will be killed. King Qi said viciously.
"Uncle spare my life, I am a thug on the street, a few days ago, the housekeeper of the Ling Mansion found me and said that I would take advantage of the night to enter Miss Ling's boudoir tonight, ruining her innocence, and then they broke into the eldest lady's boudoir in the name of catching thieves, which was actually a traitor."
"Hmph, what a vicious scheme." Ling Ruoyi said indignantly. Then he took out a silver needle, pierced it into the man's dumb hole, and knocked the man unconscious.
"Your aunt is so vicious, she actually wants people to destroy your innocence. This kind of poisonous woman must be punished well. "King Qi said.
"Then it's better to treat others in the way of others, Lanyue Xuan's side hall Ning Xiangzhai is a room with smoke, there is no more suitable place to go than there."
"Okay, I'll leave it to you, and I'll take care of the rest." After speaking, King Qi picked up the man on the ground and jumped out of the window, and his figure disappeared into the night.
Ling Ruoxuan quickly went downstairs, and Ling Xiang, Aunt Xiao, and the housekeeper and others had already come to the front of Fengyin Pavilion.
"Miss, a thief ran to your side just now, let the minions go in and check, otherwise if something happens, what can I do." Aunt Xiao's yin and yang strange qi.
"My sister hasn't left the cabinet yet, how can a group of minions enter her boudoir, and why does Aunt Xiao not understand the rules so much." Ling Yunfei said unhappily.
"Hey, I said Childe, we are also for the safety of the eldest lady, if there is any thief, what should the eldest lady do with this daughter's family, it is better to let me investigate."
"Yi'er, are you okay, my father heard that there was a thief in the house as soon as he entered the door." Ling Xiang said anxiously.
"Dad, my daughter is fine, but Aunt Xiao has to bring someone to break into my Fengyin Pavilion, I don't know what her intentions are."
"Xiangye, the concubine didn't dare to break into the eldest lady's boudoir, but someone saw the thief break into the Fengyin Pavilion, and the concubine was also worried about the safety of the eldest lady" Aunt Xiao's words were reasonable, making people speechless.
"Dad, but my sister is still in the boudoir, if you must check, then let the child take his aunt and grandmothers in."
"It's okay, it's okay, let's go."
Ling Yunfei took a few maids led by Aunt Xiao into the Fengyin Pavilion together. But after searching inside and out, but there was no result, Aunt Xiao couldn't help but sigh secretly, didn't she send someone to sneak into her room, why was there no one? It's weird.
"Aunt Xiao can you check carefully?" Ling Ruoxuan asked coldly.
"Ah, look carefully, there are no thieves. The eldest lady can rest in peace. Aunt Xiao looked unconvinced.
"Then please."
Aunt Xiao's search was unsuccessful, so she could only leave Fengyin Pavilion with a disgraced face, outside the door, Ling Xiang anxiously looked at the movement inside, and when she saw everyone coming out, she hurriedly asked, "Fei'er, how is it?" ”
"Daddy, don't worry, my sister is safe here."
"It's okay."
"Daddy, since Aunt Xiao said that there are thieves, then all the rooms must be checked, in case you hide in some dark place and hurt someone, it will not be good."
"Yes, Daddy, that's what my sister said."
"Okay, then let's search them one by one." Ling Xiang gave an order, everyone started to search, Aunt Xiao quietly gave the housekeeper a look, and the two of them walked to the side, "Steward Wu, how did you arrange it, why is there no one in that little slut's room." ”
"I don't know, but I watched people go in. Could it be that she found out and the person was scared away? ”
"It's really useless, a little girl can't deal with it."
Under the leadership of Yunfei, the family was very efficient, and after a while, he found Ning Xiangzhai......
