"Yes! The more I think about it now, the more I think she is the fifth princess!"
Qin Lian was even more sure that besides the fifth princess, she could not think of anyone else.
Su Liuye pursed her lips. Last time at the Fifth Prince's Mansion, the Fifth Princess looked dissatisfied with her.
Perhaps it was really because of something Zhou Yun'er said to the fifth princess that made the fifth princess want to get rid of her.
Qin Lian was right, if there was no money, no one would have waited for her in the alley for so long on a snowy night. After the man caught her, he immediately started to take her away, not for her money at all.
"Lianlian, you should be more careful these days."
Su Liuye said, "Mr. Chu and I came back by carriage tonight. On the way, the coachman told me that every time the New Year is approaching, thieves will steal money and property in the city. It is snowing and dark outside, and those thieves They are all familiar with the surrounding area in advance, so it is easy to run away after the robbery."
"I guess they deliberately chose this time to attack, just to shift the responsibility onto the thieves."
After hearing this, Qin Lian nodded repeatedly, "Yes, A Liu, I think so too!"
"When I say that this matter is related to the Fifth Princess, it's just a guess. There is no evidence at present. Even if we report it to the government, it is impossible for the government to really investigate the Fifth Princess!" Qin Lian became more and more sure as she spoke, and she did not forget to curse her last sentence. , "When I first met the fifth princess, I felt that she did not look like a good person! A Liu, think about it, Zhou Yun'er is not the princess at all. As the biological mother of the princess, does the fifth princess really think that she is not the princess? No problem at all?"
"At the beginning, the Fifth Prince's Mansion posted a notice saying that the princess had a plum blossom birthmark and a dragon-patterned jade pendant, but Zhou Yun'er just asked her mother to secretly buy the dragon-patterned jade pendant some time ago... She didn't even have a jade pendant that represented the princess' identity. , why would the fifth princess recognize her as the princess? A Liu, don’t you think it’s strange?”
Su Liuye didn't say anything. Looking back at this matter now, it is indeed full of doubts.
When she first came to the capital, she heard about the Queen Mother's illness from the waiter in the restaurant, and the Queen Mother liked Zhou Yun'er very much. The fifth princess might have let Zhou Yun'er stay in order to please the Queen Mother.
Perhaps the fifth princess knew from the beginning that Zhou Yun'er was not the princess...
Liu Yuan was investigating this matter recently. If it was found out that Zhou Yun'er had faked her identity and didn't even have the dragon-patterned jade pendant that symbolized her identity, but the Fifth Prince's Palace kept her, it would be the Fifth Prince's Palace's fault.
If this matter were known to the royal family, the emperor would definitely be furious.
Now Liu Yuan is investigating this matter. If the fifth princess had investigated it, she might have misunderstood that she asked Liu Yuan to investigate, so she wanted to attack her.
This explanation is quite reasonable.
"A Liu, what should we do now?" Qin Lian had a worried look on her face. "The Chinese New Year is almost here. There are so many thieves on the street. Even if we report to the police, we have no evidence. Do we have to endure them all the time?"
"Of course that's not possible."
Su Liuye's face darkened, "But I haven't thought of what to do for the moment. Lianlian, it's better not to go out at night during this period. I'll think of a solution for the rest."
"good!"
Qin Lian nodded, brought medicinal wine to help her heal the wound on her wrist, and cursed.
I really didn't expect that the fifth princess would suddenly attack, and she would attack so harshly. If Su Liuye hadn't run away cleverly, she would have been caught now.
After taking care of the bruises on her wrists, Qin Lian muttered for a while before going out.
Su Liuye went to rest after washing up. The next morning, she heard from Uncle Zhou that Qing Shu had gone out early to look for a jade pendant. Chu San didn't wake up until noon and learned that Su Liuye had brought him back. Chu San came over to express his gratitude in person.
Su Liuye thought for a while and told him what happened last night.
Chu San suddenly turned cold and said, "Sister Liu Ye, if there is such a thing, you won't tell me?"
"You were drunk at the time, and the man ran away very quickly. I don't know what he looked like. Even if I told him, I couldn't catch him."
Su Liuye said, "Mr. Chu, what do you think about this matter? I discussed it with Lianlian last night. The thief might have been found by the fifth princess."
"Fifth Princess? Why, why is it related to the Fifth Princess?" Chu San's expression became sharp.
Su Liuye told Chu San her conjecture. When Chu San heard the same thing, she couldn't help but have a mocking smile on her face, "Sister Liu Ye, it is indeed possible. In the past few days, Sister Liu Ye, you You and Miss Qin should go out less often, and I will help you find out the matter."
"Mr. Chu, how do you check?"
"I have my own way. Sister Liuye, just wait."
Chu San laughed, and without waiting for Su Liuye's consort to say anything, he stood up and walked out, saying that he wanted to find Qingshu to find out the matter.
Su Liuye followed him all the way to the gate, watching him leave, her eyes gradually deepened, and finally she could only sigh deeply and watch him leave.
By night, when Chu San hadn't come back, white snow fell again from the sky.
Several people wearing black night clothes took advantage of the darkness to sneak into the Fifth Prince's Mansion, met with the servants guarding the Fifth Princess's door, and reported today's news.
When the servants found out, they quickly asked them to leave, quickly walked inside, and told the little maid on night duty what had happened. The little maid took advantage of the fifth princess to rest and went over to tell Nanny Wu.
Aunt Wu is the nanny next to the fifth princess. She took care of the fifth princess before she got married.
"princess!"
Aunt Wu quickly walked to the side room.
The fifth princess was still asleep and was sitting in front of the mirror asking her maid to comb her hair. Hearing Nanny Wu's voice, the fifth princess looked over and waved the little maid out.
"Mommy, what happened?" the fifth princess asked slowly.
"The guard just came back to report something."
Mother Wu said, leaning into her ear.
After hearing this, the fifth princess looked unhappy, "It's really useless! I can't even catch a woman! Now that she has been staying in the house and can't come out, how else can I catch her? If the delay continues, this woman will probably catch her." Tell the truth."
"Princess, don't be angry." Mother Wu persuaded, "These things are related to the palace. They may not dare to talk nonsense. How about leaving? Now Princess Anyang is unwell. I heard that she can only stay in the house to tell the news. You can’t even get out of bed, and you won’t enter the palace during this period, so there’s no need for the princess to rush for the time being.”
After hearing this, the fifth princess's face not only did not improve, she became even more angry. She suddenly raised her hand and slapped it on the table, "I really don't know how Anyang got together with Su Liuye and even brought her into the palace! If it weren’t for the women brought back by the consort to cause trouble in the Princess Anyang’s Mansion this time, they might not have gone to the emperor to talk about this matter!"
"I really underestimated Anyang, and now he stabbed me in the back!"
