Chapter 026: Stolen
It's night.
"Princess Shizi, the third lady has been making a fuss for so long after waking up, and it has finally stopped, and I thought that the Hou Mansion would be lifted by her today!"
Chunxiao combed Xia Yunxian's hair with a smile, recalling the scene where Shizi and Liu Qingqing's brother and sister turned against each other, which was really happy.
However, the woman in front of the mirror smiled calmly, "Liu Qingqing looks down on businessmen the most, knowing that she has been arranged for such a family affair, she has long hated Liu Chengyu to death, and she will not sit still." β
The candles were blown out, and there was soon a burst of calm in the courtyard.
But I didn't want to be at night, a cold wind poured in, waking up Xia Yunxian on the couch, and in the haze, I saw a sneaky figure groping for something in front of her dresser.
The dignified Marquis's Mansion actually entered the thief?!
Just as he was about to call someone, a familiar rouge made Xia Yunxian immediately change his mind, and it was not until the figure almost turned the room over that he quietly left again.
However, an hour later, the Hou Mansion, which was originally shrouded in darkness, suddenly lit up the lanterns, and Liu Chengyu broke into Xia Yunxian's house with a displeased face, and looked at the woman who was already dressed in surprise.
"Why did you report to the police?"
"My house was stolen at night, so naturally I have to report it to the official, what's the matter, have the officials arrived?"
Xia Yunxian's face did not change, and the steward on the side suddenly coughed embarrassedly, "Such a big matter, why don't you know that there will be a villain?" β
"The Hou Mansion is not a place where any thief can break into casually, and the princess of this world suspects that there is a thief, so naturally she can't leak the news."
House thief?!
Liu Chengyu, who originally suspected that Xia Yunxian was making a fuss, immediately chuckled in his heart, recalling all the misunderstandings he had about her these days, and now he held back his anger, "Then let the officials come in and search." β
The steward hurriedly grabbed him, "The prince can't help it, and now the Hou Mansion can't make any more big noises to attract attention!" β
"This thief dares to steal from me, who knows what else he will do to kill people and steal goods, how can the Hou Mansion keep such a scourge?" Xia Yunxian reminded.
"If it's not a thief, maybe it's some wanted thief wandering around Kyoto, if the Hou Mansion can catch this person, it will be a great achievement!"
In just two words, Liu Chengyu was immediately moved, and he was about to order someone to invite the official messenger outside, but when he saw that Mrs. Liu didn't even have time to comb her hair, she hurried to Mama Lei with her.
"Stop! It's just some worthless stuff, so why bother with the crowd! β
Xia Yunxian raised her eyebrows and couldn't help but smile, "How does my mother-in-law know that what I stole is not valuable?" Those are my mother's thoughts, and they are invaluable to me! β
Old Madam Liu choked in her throat, and seeing that she still didn't give up, she finally changed her words.
"It was Qingqing who took it! So, let the officials all be withdrawn. β
"Why did Miss Three steal my things? Didn't she already let the prince take care of her? Xia Yunxian pretended to be surprised, and Mrs. Liu immediately scolded.
"What do you mean by stealing from you? She's going to get married, what's wrong with you being a sister-in-law and giving a little dowry! It's embarrassing to disturb people's dreams, is it because you want to damage the reputation of the Hou Mansion? β
Liu Chengyu's face had changed, "Mother, you are still indulging that stinky girl even now!" β
Thinking of Liu Qingqing scolding and beating him today, disrespecting him in every way, and everyone was locked in the house, and let his mother out to do such a shameful thing!
He must have done too much in this world!
Mrs. Liu was very aggrieved, her sister was hurt so much, and he, who was the eldest brother, didn't even help!
And now, for the sake of the culprit to disobey her!
"It's you! It must have been what you said to Qingqing in the carriage today, so she was bent on marrying Bai Yujing, if it weren't for you, how could she end up like that! β
Xia Yunxian saw that Old Madam Liu actually took a bite back, she didn't get angry but laughed, "Mother-in-law thinks that Yunxian instigated the third miss?" Then you might as well call her out and confront me face to face! β
"Princess, the thief has been caught!"
At this time, Chunxiao led two officials to drag out Liu Qingqing, who had already changed her outfit, the girl's eyes were red like a trapped beast, and she gritted her teeth viciously when she saw Xia Yunxian.
"Let go of me! I'm going to Baifu, and when I marry Yujing, he must put you all in prison!" β
Liu Chengyu's eyes widened suddenly, this bold and reckless stinky girl actually wanted to run to Baifu in the middle of the night?
Chunxiao snorted coldly, snatched the burden from her arms and fell to the ground, in addition to the pair of sparkling night pearls, there were many expensive jewelry, most of which were Old Madam Liu's!
"The third lady also searched the old lady's house, and the slave maid arrested people in the back alley with a few officials!"
"Qingqing, what are you doing here?" Mrs. Liu only felt a little dizzy, her daughter actually stole her?
Obviously, she begged her just now, saying that she just wanted to get some money for self-defense, so as not to go to Jiangnan to suffer, but this is obviously a posture of eloping with someone with a dowry!
"What to do? Didn't this shameless stinky girl say that she wants to put us all in prison! Liu Chengyu's expression was terrifying, he took precautions, but he didn't expect that the real disaster star was his own sister who had been protecting him since he was a child!
"Haha, hahaha......" At this time, Liu Qingqing suddenly laughed proudly, "Is the eldest brother afraid?" It's still too late, as long as you let me go, I'll let Yujing spare you! β
Plentiful?!
Liu Qingqing's words made Liu Chengyu immediately think of the picture of himself being played by Bai Yujing when he was in the Pingnan Palace, and his eyes became more and more cold.
"Come on, the third lady has lost her mind, and immediately sent her to the countryside nunnery!"
"What nunnery? Cheng Yu, Qingqing still wants to get married! Mrs. Liu was powerless to let Mama Lei support her, and to this day, she still refuses to give up this daughter.
Liu Chengyu's face is expressionless, this kind of crazy woman can only make people feel at ease if she is being watched under her nose.
Otherwise, even if Liu Qingqing gets married, she will only think about Bai Yujing with all her heart, and she will only make a mess out of control like tonight!
Seeing that a family member had already stepped forward to drag Liu Qingqing up, the panicked girl was already speechless, "Liu Chengyu, you dare!" You don't have the ability to fly on the branches and become a phoenix? Yujing knows that you treat me like this, and he will never let you go! β
"Don't think I don't know, you're a deserter! Your military exploits were stolenβ"
"What are you doing in a daze, gag her!"
Liu Chengyu trembled with anger, and Xia Yunxian, who was watching the play on the side, his eyes flashed, stolen military merits?
There seemed to be some important clue flashing in her mind, which reminded her of the tiger talisman stolen by her father, General Xia......
