Chapter Twenty-Nine: The House Thief
After a few more days, Mu Yan's hand injury had almost recovered. When I'm bored, I want to go out for a walk.
Originally, she planned to let Feng Ziying take her out, but she didn't think that she hadn't come to visit her for a long time since she had something or something in the near future.
Thinking so, Mu Yan thought about it, since she moved back to the palace and befriended Feng Ziying, it seemed that people came to the door to send food and drink, and asked for warmth. But she was thick-skinned and accepted them all, and never thought of sending something to the other party. Although people are honest and upright, they can't be said on the surface.
Thinking of this, Mu Yan stood up and called Hongluan and asked her to lead her to Feng Ziying's side to visit. Hongluan nodded in response, cleaned up a little, and went with Mu Yan.
Mu Yan had never been to Feng Ziying's, so naturally he didn't know the way, so he naturally followed Hongluan. After turning left and right and detouring a few small roads, you will arrive at the place.
Compared with the courtyard where she lives, Feng Ziying's residence is not only much more magnificent, but everything and scenery are several levels higher than Mu Yan's. Mu Yan was speechless, but there were no mood swings while sighing.
The maid standing outside the house saw Mu Yan coming, was stunned for a moment, and then saluted respectfully. Turned around and quickly ran into the house to report. After a while, Feng Ziying walked out of the house. His face was a little bad, and his eyes flickered.
"Why didn't my sister come to me? Why didn't you tell me earlier, I'm so prepared. ”
Mu Yan smiled back, and her sharp eyes saw that the other party was unusual. Out of concern, he asked directly: "I see that Sister Feng hasn't been to my place for a long time, so I took advantage of this good day to come over to visit you." My sister's face is not very good, what's wrong?
It's okay not to say this, but as soon as she said it, Feng Ziying's little face instantly became pitiful. Mu Yan was even more confused when she saw it, and asked patiently for a long time before she finally opened her mouth.
It turns out that although Feng Ziying is stupid, she is also the pearl of the Feng family. On the day of her wedding, her mother gave her the Feng family's ancestral jade bracelet for her to keep for safekeeping. In the future, after the three princes are scattered, they will be passed on to their children.
Feng Ziying knew the importance of this jade bracelet, and in order to prevent it from being lost, she simply kept wearing it on her hand for a while. Only when I go to bed at night, I put it in the jade box of the dresser. If you carry this thing with you for a long time, it will become a part of yourself, and sometimes you will ignore it. No, just a few days ago, Feng Ziying suddenly found that the jade bracelet was missing, which made her anxious.
"When did you lose it?"
Mu Yan pulled her to sit down, calmed her emotions first, and slowly helped her straighten out the process.
Feng Ziying shook her head, a look of helplessness in her eyes. I guess I was thinking that I had become a burden to the Feng family, and I could even lose the ancestral jade bracelet I wore on my hand at this time, and my mother's family knew about it, what should I do?
"I don't know, I just remember that when I gave my sister candied fruit a few days ago, the bracelet was still on my wrist. ”
Mu Yan thought about it and nodded. That's right, the bracelet was still there, and she saw it. So in this way, the bracelet was lost in the past few days.
"Sister Feng, have you found everything in the house? Did you take it off and put it somewhere by yourself and forgot it?"
Feng Ziying shook her head, her little face sullen. The maid on the side replied: "Since my master found out that the bracelet was missing, we have searched inside and out. The jade box is about to be opened for our master to find, but there is no one!"
Mu Yan frowned, "Then it doesn't make sense, where will the bracelet go?"
The little maid snorted softly at this time, and muttered: "There are so many people in this house, those subordinates see that my master is easy to bully, maybe it was stolen by someone with a heart!"
"Forsythia, don't talk nonsense!"
Feng Ziying whispered, the little maid seemed to be unbearable to see her master's only chattering appearance, glared, then puffed out her cheeks and replied: "This bracelet was passed on to Miss by the old lady, and when she left, she also told her to keep it for you! If you lose it at this time, you will go back during the New Year's holidays in the future, how can you explain to the old lady? I don't care, it's just that I am bullied on weekdays, and I can't swallow this breath at this time." I'm going to ask the third prince to call the shots, and let him help Miss you get the bracelet back!"
As soon as the little maid finished speaking, she ran out of the house directly. Feng Ziying didn't even have a chance to stop her, and after chasing a few steps, she watched her run away. In a panic, he took Mu Yan's hand and said, "Good sister, you can quickly help me chase that girl back." ”
Mu Yan patted her hand to soothe, thinking to herself that this big palace, how easy is it to find a bracelet? Maybe you really have to bother the third prince to go out.
"Sister, don't panic, Forsythia may be right, and the only way to ask the third prince for help in this matter is to ask the third prince for help. Let's go, let's follow too. You tell the prince about it, and he will help. ”
Hearing Mu Yan say this, Feng Ziying calmed down a little. Holding Mu Yan's hand tightly, he walked towards the study with her.

It didn't take long for everyone in the palace to gather in the large courtyard in front of the main hall. Shen Li stood on the three steps with his hands in his hands, cold and majestic. After glancing at him, the old butler Li Bo coughed and said aloud to everyone: "I have summoned everyone here today for one thing. Concubine Ying's ancestral jade bracelet was lost a few days ago, and she didn't find it everywhere in the house. So we wonder if someone has unclean hands and feet. If someone really stole something, stand up now and admit it. Hand over the bracelet, and the prince doesn't care. ”
After Li Bo said this, the people in the courtyard all lowered their heads, and none of them squeaked. Shen Li seemed to be a little impatient, frowned and turned around, waving his long sleeves.
"Search!"
Li Bo received the order and nodded respectfully. He took out a long list of keys and said to all his subordinates: "You all follow me, room by room." I just gave you the opportunity, but you didn't cherish it. I'm going to find it out now, but don't blame me for not interceding for you!"
As soon as the words fell, a group of people followed Li Bo to search the house, leaving only Shen Li and Mu Yan with a few concubines.
Several people went back to the front hall to sit down and rest, Feng Ziying shrunk down from beginning to end and leaned next to Mu Yan, Mu Yan patted her hand and comforted her softly. Fang Biling glanced at it coldly, and couldn't help but say: "A broken bracelet, can you use it so much?" If my sister likes it, I'll give you a few, sister." ”
Feng Ziying didn't dare to reply, Mu Yan pursed her lips, raised her eyes and glared back.
"This bracelet is handed down from the ancestors of Sister Feng's family, and it is expensive in affection, not in price. If it is an ordinary bracelet, it will be lost, and the Feng family is not a small family, can you send it?"
