That night.
"Prince Concubine, the Third Miss has been making trouble for so long since she woke up, and finally stopped. I thought she would knock off the roof of the Marquis' Mansion today!"
Chunxiao combed Xia Yunxian's hair with a smile. It was really satisfying to recall the scene where the prince and brother and sister Liu Qingqing turned against each other.
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 marriage, she has long hated Liu Chengyu to death, and she will not sit still and wait for death."
After blowing out the candles, the courtyard quickly fell into a calm state.
Unexpectedly, at night, a gust of cold wind blew in, awakening Xia Yunxian on the couch. In the hazy place, she saw a sneaky figure groping for something in front of her dressing table.
There was actually a thief breaking into the dignified prince's mansion? !
Just as he was about to call someone, a familiar smell of rouge made Xia Yunxian immediately change his mind. It wasn't until the figure almost turned over the room that he quietly left again.
However, an hour later, the Hou Mansion, which was originally shrouded in darkness, suddenly lit up the lanterns. Liu Chengyu led the steward into Xia Yunxian's house with an unhappy look on his face. Looking at the woman who was already fully dressed, his face suddenly turned red. Surprised.
"Why did you report to the official?"
"My house was burgled at night, so of course I have to report it to the officials. Why, have all the officials arrived?"
Xia Yunxian's expression remained unchanged, but the steward on the side immediately coughed in embarrassment, "How come you don't know how to deal with such a big matter?"
"The Marquis Mansion is not a place where thieves can break into casually. I suspect that there is a thief in the house, so naturally I can't let the news leak out."
House thief? !
Liu Chengyu, who originally suspected that Xia Yunxian was making a fuss out of a molehill, immediately felt a thump in his heart. He recalled all the misunderstandings he had had about her in the past few days, and now he held back his anger and said, "Then let the officials come in and search."
The steward quickly stopped him and said, "Your Majesty, I can't do anything about it. Now the Marquis Mansion can't make any more big noises to attract attention!"
"This thief dares to steal from me. Who knows what other things he will do to kill people and steal goods? How can the Hou Mansion allow such a disaster?" Xia Yunxian reminded.
"If it's not a domestic thief, he might be some wanted monster thief wandering around Kyoto. If the Hou Mansion can catch this person, it will be a great achievement!"
With just a few words, Liu Chengyu was immediately moved. He was about to order someone to invite the officials outside, but he saw Mrs. Liu rushing in with Grandma Lei before she even had time to comb her hair.
"Everyone, stop! These are just worthless things, why bother to mobilize troops!"
Xia Yunxian raised her eyebrows and couldn't help but laugh, "How did my mother-in-law know that the things stolen from me were not valuable? Those are the thoughts left by my mother, and they are priceless to me!"
Mrs. Liu had a lump in her throat. Seeing that she was still unwilling to give up, she finally changed her words.
"It was Qingqing who took it! So let all the officials evacuate."
"Why did the Third Miss steal my things? Didn't she already have the Crown Prince put her under guard?" Xia Yunxian pretended to be surprised, and Mrs. Liu immediately started to curse.
"What do you mean by stealing from you? She's about to get married. What's wrong with you, the sister-in-law, giving her some dowry? You actually have the nerve to disturb someone's dream. Do you want to ruin the reputation of the Marquis Mansion?"
Liu Chengyu's expression changed, "Mother, you are still indulging that stinky girl!"
I remembered that today Liu Qingqing scolded and beat him, and was disrespectful to him in every possible way, while everyone was locked in the room, and he let his mother out to do such embarrassing things!
This prince of his family is too cowardly!
Mrs. Liu was extremely wronged. Her sister had been hurt so much, and he, the eldest brother, didn't even try to help her!
And now, he is disobeying her because of the culprit!
"It's you! It must be something you said to Qingqing in the carriage today that made her want to marry Bai Yujing. If it weren't for you, how could she have ended up like that!"
When Xia Yunxian saw that Mrs. Liu actually bit her back, she smiled instead of getting angry, "Mother-in-law thinks Yunxian instigated the third lady? Then you might as well call her out and confront me face to face!"
"Prince Princess, the thief has been caught!"
At this moment, Chunxiao led two officials to drag out Liu Qingqing, who had changed her clothes. The girl's eyes were red like a trapped animal, and she gritted her teeth viciously when she saw Xia Yunxian.
"Let me go! I'm going to the Bai Mansion. When I marry Yu Jing, I will make sure that he puts you all in prison!"
Liu Chengyu's eyes suddenly widened. This daring girl actually wanted to run to Bai Mansion in the middle of the night?
Chunxiao snorted coldly, snatched the bundle from her arms and threw it to the ground. In addition to the pair of sparkling night pearls, there were also many expensive jewelry, most of which belonged to Mrs. Liu!
"Just now, the third lady ransacked the old lady's house. I caught him in the back alley with some officers!"
"Qingqing, what are you doing?" Mrs. Liu felt a little dizzy. Her daughter actually stole from her?
He had obviously begged her just now, saying that he just wanted to get some money for self-defense so as not to suffer the hardships of going to Jiangnan, but this was clearly a way of running away with someone with a dowry!
"What are you doing? Didn't this shameless stinky girl say that she would take us all to prison!" Liu Chengyu's expression was terrifyingly gloomy. He was on every possible precaution, but he didn't expect that the real disaster star would be the one he had protected since he was a child. My biological sister!
"Haha, hahaha..." At this time, Liu Qingqing suddenly laughed proudly, "Brother, are you afraid? It's still too late. As long as you let me go, I will ask Yu Jing to spare you!"
Rao? !
Liu Qingqing's words immediately reminded Liu Chengyu of the scene when he was teased by Bai Yujing in Pingnan Palace, and his eyes became colder.
"Come here, the third lady is insane. Send her to a country nunnery immediately!"
"What kind of nunnery? Cheng Yu, Qingqing is going to get married!" Mrs. Liu weakly let Aunt Lei hold her up. Even now, she still refuses to give up on her daughter.
Liu Chengyu's face was expressionless. This kind of crazy woman can only make people feel at ease if she is monitored under his nose.
Otherwise, even if Liu Qingqing gets married, if she only thinks about Bai Yujing, she will only make trouble out of control like last night!
Seeing that a servant had already stepped forward to drag Liu Qingqing up, the panicked girl was already talking without hesitation, "Liu Chengyu, how dare you! You don't allow me to fly up a branch and become a phoenix even if you don't have the ability? Yu Jing knows you are doing this to me. , he will never let you go!"
"Don't think I don't know, you are a deserter! Your military merit was stolen——"
"What are you doing? Stop her mouth!"
Liu Chengyu was so angry that he was shaking all over, while Xia Yunxian, who was watching the show, flashed his eyes, stolen military merit?
Something important seemed to flash through her mind, and it reminded her of her father, General Xia's stolen tiger talisman...
