"If I remember correctly, I have never touched you at all, right?"
At this time, Jiang Yurong took a deep breath and met his joking expression with watery eyes, as if she mustered up great courage.
"Yu Jing, I don't blame you anymore. My father deserves it. You just acted impartially. You have so many women, but you are not willing to touch a hair of mine. I know you have me in your heart."
She paused and made up her mind like a moth flying to a flame.
"As long as you send them all away, I will live with you forever."
As soon as he finished speaking, Bai Yujing was seen stunned, and then slowly leaned over with a gentle smile.
The hot breath fell on Jiang Yurong's face, causing her snow-white skin to turn red suddenly, but she heard a sarcastic voice without any warmth in her ears.
"Miss Jiang, I heard clearly, I have never touched anyone!"
…
Xia Yunxian sighed softly, with a look of sadness on his face.
"The third lady is not the only one who has been wronged. The prince doubted his daughter-in-law and Mr. Huo in front of so many people, and even drew his sword on the spot. To this day, I haven't seen a word of comfort or explanation from him."
"You, why are you so selfish? What we are talking about now is Qingqing's marriage!"
"My mother-in-law is right. Selfish people never like to meddle in other people's business. My daughter-in-law has no objection to the third lady's marriage."
Xia Yunxian was about to leave, but Mrs. Liu quickly stopped her, "Who wants your opinion? Just don't care, bring me some trousseau jewelry!"
Is this blackmailing her?
Seeing that Xia Yunxian didn't speak, Mrs. Liu took a deep breath and said, "She is the third young lady of our Hou family after all. She will naturally want to be beautiful when she gets married. You and the second wife should both contribute to make her happy."
At this time, Mrs. Wen, who had been watching the show, immediately stood up and said, "Mom, the doctor has given the second master a new prescription, saying that it will cost several hundred taels of silver to completely cure his broken leg."
Madam Liu couldn't help but frown, "What do you mean by this?"
Wenshi picked up the handkerchief and wiped the non-existent tears from the corner of her eyes, "My daughter-in-law means that my husband is going to be a waste, so how can I still be in the mood to bring joy to others."
After leaving these words, she took out another string of Buddhist beads and retreated while reciting scriptures.
Seeing Wen's appearance, Mrs. Liu could only grit her teeth in anger, but there was nothing she could do.
She turned to look at Xia Yunxian, not wanting the calm woman to be helpless, "If my daughter-in-law still has a private treasury, she should have taken it out when she rescued the second master. Why not ask Princess Pingnan or the old princess to borrow it?" ?”
"you you……"
Mrs. Liu opened her mouth and asked to borrow it from Prince Pingnan's Mansion?
Still think the Yongding Hou Mansion has lost enough face?
Seeing that she finally couldn't say a word, Xia Yunxian also smiled, sighed and turned around with regret.
Back inside the house, Chunxiao was angry and worried.
"Prince Princess, the old lady has always liked to mess around, and I'm afraid she won't let it go."
"It's not just her, Liu Qingqing is not the type to sit still and wait for death." Xia Yunxian was already prepared.
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 helped Mrs. Liu break into Xia Yunxian's house with an unhappy look on her face. Looking at the fully dressed woman, she suddenly 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 Mrs. Liu beside her suddenly coughed in embarrassment, "You actually made your own decision about such a big matter without even discussing it with your mother-in-law?"
"The Marquis's Mansion is not a place where thieves can break into casually. My daughter-in-law suspects that there is a thief in the house, and is afraid that it will scare the snake and hurt the women in the mansion, so naturally the news cannot be leaked."
House thief? !
Liu Chengyu, who originally thought 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 these days and was holding back his anger.
"Then let the officers come in and search."
Mrs. Liu 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 persuaded. He was about to order someone to invite the officials outside, but he saw Mrs. Liu's face flustered and finally changed her tune.
"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 stepped forward and lowered her voice.
"It was Qingqing who took it! So let all the officials evacuate."
"Why did the third young lady steal my things? Didn't the prince already order someone to take care of her?" 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! You must have said something to Qingqing in the carriage. That's why she is so innocent and only wants to marry Bai Yujing!"
"You have to bear the greatest responsibility!"
When Xia Yunxian saw that Mrs. Liu actually pointed at her nose and bit her back, she smiled instead of 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 the black clothes on her body had several holes. Her expression changed after seeing Xia Yunxian. It became more and more ferocious.
When Liu Chengyu saw her dressed like this, he was shocked and asked through gritted teeth, "Where are you going?!"
