Chapter 76
He secretly looked at Mu Jinchuan's face, but saw that Mu Jinchuan's expression was normal.

How is this going?

Mu Jinchuan and Chu Luoyi looked at each other, understood what she was thinking, and continued following Chu Sheng's words, the noise was very magnetic.

"What Hou Ye said is right, the palace does not have the right to search the residence of important ministers."

Chu Sheng breathed a sigh of relief.

It seems that the prince also thinks that Chu Luoyi is messing around to the extreme.

He looked at Chu Luoyi proudly, but saw Chu Luoyi nodding.

"Since that's the case, I'd like to report to the officials. I believe Jingzhao Mansion has the right."

A light and fluffy sentence, well-founded, heard in the ear, aroused anger in the chest, and carried deep anxiety and fear.

Wouldn't it be a joke for everyone in the capital to make a fuss in the courtroom?

Chu Sheng almost couldn't stand still, his face twitched, almost unbelievable: "The family ugliness must not be exposed, do you want the Hou Mansion to be a laughing stock!"

Chu Luoyi was merciless, "As a child, it's reasonable and reasonable to take back what the deceased mother got back, so why did the Hou Mansion become a joke? Could it be that the father thinks that the younger sister and the others really stole it?"

Chu Sheng's chest heaved violently, and he was about to faint in the next second.

His lips were muffled, and he couldn't say a word of rebuttal.

Lan's mother and daughter did take it.

How could he say that.

He, Lord Hou, doesn't want to lose face?

"Luo Yi, because of a few accessories, are you really going to turn against your father?"

Chu Sheng gritted his teeth.

It was quite like she nodded and immediately severed the relationship between father and daughter!

Chu Weier found an opportunity, hurriedly helped her father, and accused her: "Sister, you feel unjust in your heart, and you shouldn't be so unreasonable. Come here and apologize to my father, how angry my father is with you!"

Chu Luoyi thought it was funny, and the cheap father in front of him couldn't stop shaking his hands: "Father's words are so unreasonable, but he just wanted to find out the truth, how could he get so upset, should... those three things are really taken by my aunt. They took it."

Chu Sheng choked, sighed heavily, and set his eyes on Mu Jinchuan.

"My lord, do you really want to let her mess around?"

"Find out the truth, how could it be random?" Mu Jinchuan's tone didn't fluctuate, only when he looked at Chu Luoyi, his eyes were gentle.

"Master Hou wants to protect concubines, concubines and concubines. To put it bluntly, if you lose a few accessories, there must be an explanation."

Chu Sheng was stunned again.

"Baishu, go to Jingzhao Mansion."

Before Chu Sheng could think of a better refusal, Mu Jinchuan had already ordered.

Bai Shu couldn't bear their procrastination. As soon as the prince opened his mouth, he immediately turned around. Just two steps away, Chu Sheng stopped him.

"Wait a minute!" Chu Sheng stepped forward tremblingly, cupping his hands in a bow, "My lord! This is a family matter of a humble official, so I don't need Jingzhao Mansion to take action."

He suddenly aged ten years, not as vigorous as before, and his tone was hoarse, only the eyes that looked at Chu Luoyi were filled with anger.

"Since you have doubts, I'll let you investigate! The ugly words come to the fore, if you don't find out...you have to apologize to Wei'er and the concubine!"

The gemstone necklace is in her room.

Chu Wei'er looked flustered, and gently tugged on her father's sleeve, hinting desperately.

Chu Sheng glared at her.

Chu Wei'er lowered her head angrily, wishing to tear Chu Luoyi's mouth open.

Hearing the threat implied in Chu Sheng's words, Chu Luoyi was full of smiles, her autumn eyes were frosted, and her jade face like hibiscus emerged from clear water did not dare to look directly.

"Naturally." Chu Luoyi said meaningfully, "If I didn't find out, I would like to apologize to you two."

Chu Sheng gritted his teeth fiercely: "Housekeeper, take some slaves to have a look."

He gestured to the butler.

Be sure to find a few clever, stuff to hide!

The butler received the hint and picked out six house slaves.

"Be careful." The butler lowered his voice.

Chu Luoyi also called a few guards, and Mu Jinchuan glanced at them indifferently, and said in a deep voice: "Baishu, take them to search."

Bai Shu: "Yes."

Bai Shu led the guards and asked them to keep an eye on some house slaves.

Chu Luoyi randomly found a place to sit down, with the gift list at hand, and called Liuyue to the side.

"Come here." She whispered a few words in Liuyue's ear.

Liu Yue nodded and went.

Seeing Aunt Lan's jealousy, she felt uneasy.

Those house slaves must not miss.

Chu Sheng wiped off the sweat from his forehead, and bowed to Mu Jinchuan.

"My lord, why don't you sit in the front hall and wait?"

Chu Sheng asked Mu Jinchuan, but Mu Jinchuan asked Chu Luoyi.

Chu Luoyi made up his mind and waved his hands, "What's the rush? Wouldn't it be more convenient to find it later, and carry it out together and into the car?"

Chu Sheng clenched his hands into fists, but he still couldn't hide the annoyance in his heart, which leaked to his face.

He was going to.

Taking advantage of the gap in the front hall, find someone to go to Wei'er or Lan's room.

If they search two places at the same time, there will inevitably be places they can't take care of, and it's more convenient to find opportunities to hide things.

But Chu Luoyi was not fooled!

Bai Shu also thought of this, and ordered: "You two, go and guard outside Lan's gate first, and arrest anyone who breaks in!"

He set aside two people.

The servant was unhappy and said:
"My lord, you are being unreasonable. You may not know who took the things. If you send someone to guard, you are treating her as a suspect!"

"Why are there so many nonsense, hurry up and lead the way!" Bai Shu was too lazy to waste his words.

The servant's dissatisfaction grew stronger.

But Bai Shusheng is tall and burly, and he seems to be able to knock him down with a single fist.

He didn't dare to fight head-on, so the servant also arranged two or three people to guard, looking for opportunities to fight.

The servant patted them on the shoulder twice, pushed them away, and then continued to walk forward. After a while, they arrived at Chu Wei'er's yard.

Once inside, there is a faint fragrance.

The servant rolled his eyes and said with a smile: "Second Miss is still a girl who has not left the court. Men are not allowed to touch personal items such as cupboards and makeup boxes. If it is spread, it is always bad. Please wait a little longer, I will call someone Come maidservant."

Bai Shu clenched his saber tightly, his eyes became even colder.

What is the servant thinking.

He was clear.

Just about to stop, a familiar voice came.

"No need to call others, I will search."

The servant moved his feet out and froze the door, looking out.

It's the moon.

"Or you want to say, I'm not from the Hou's mansion, but I can't believe it?" Liu Yue said with sarcasm, "You can delay if you want, the prince will come and ask later, just tell the truth."

After moving out the prince, the servant's expression changed instantly.

"Miss Liuyue, look at what you're talking about, it's my wish to have your help!"

The servant gave Liuyue a wink, but Liuyue didn't even look at him, nodded at Baishu, and began to search the house.

The servant was annoyed, and remembered the housekeeper's order, so he would come here to sabotage from time to time.

Accidentally smashed the flower pot at this moment, and accidentally bumped into Liuyue the next second, the makeup box fell to the ground, and the jewelry fell all over the floor.

The servant noticed the gemstone necklace, and tried to kick it away furtively. As soon as he covered it, he was spotted by the sharp-eyed guard.

"What are you hiding!"

Pushing the person away, the gemstone necklace came into view.

Bai Shu snorted coldly: "The search here is over, let's go to the next place."

He put the jewel necklace in the locket.

The search at Aunt Lan's place was easier, she just had to keep an eye on the small movements of the servant, and quickly found the other two glass bottles and butterfly hairpins, and put them in Chu Luoyi's hands together.

Chu Luoyi took out the gemstone necklace, under the sunlight, it shone with colorful luster, without touching it, one could tell that the quality was excellent.

She handed back the gemstone necklace and gave it to Yun Chen.

Mu Jinchuan's face darkened.

"It's a shame that I trust you so much, and I'm devoted to clearing up your grievances... Chu Luoyi's tone was disappointed, and she sighed mockingly, "What else is there to say this time?Could it be that someone else hid in your room and set the blame on you? "

Chu Weier was dumbfounded.

She really wanted to say that just now.

Chu Luoyi could see what she was thinking, and the sarcasm in her eyes grew stronger.

Mu Jinchuan squinted his eyes, and his cold voice was like the tip of a knife scraping against Chu Sheng.

"If the family is not strict, how can you govern the country?"

Chu Sheng's body trembled, and Mu Jinchuan continued.

"The mistress has less dowries, and you don't realize it. Is it true or not? A mere concubine dares to climb on the head of the mistress. Lord Hou, do you want to spoil your concubine and destroy your wife, so you only allow a concubine?" The little concubine's dowry?"

Aunt Lan knew that the situation was over, she couldn't bear to listen any more.

It's over!

Chu Sheng glared at the butler, who lowered his head in panic.

Chu Sheng closed his eyes, took a deep breath and tried to calm himself down, "Why did the prince say that? I don't know anything about what they are doing!"

The panic on his face was vivid.

Never admit it!
Only Aunt Lan's mother and daughter were wronged, who made them dirty.

He turned his head and scolded Aunt Lan and Wei Er.

"I believe in you, that's why I let you be in charge. You are ashamed of trusting me. What a good daughter you have taught me! Who gave you the courage to touch the dowry of the mistress! That's something you can touch ?!"

Chu Wei'er was doted on since she was a child, and she has never been reprimanded by her father in front of everyone, let alone in front of King Jin.

The sockets of her eyes turned red suddenly, unlike the fake one before, tears overflowed from the sockets of her eyes.

Chu Sheng's tone slowed down slightly, "Come here and apologize to your sister!"

"..."

Chu Wei'er's face was full of shame and anger, like a blush covering her entire cheeks, she clenched her cuffs tightly, and she didn't even notice her nails digging into her palms.

Asking her to apologize to Chu Luoyi, wouldn't she kill her!

"Go!"

Chu Sheng didn't care about his daughter's temper.

"Vill."

Aunt Lan spoke softly, and gave her a comforting look.

Isn't it just an apology?

Aunt Lan was much smarter than her daughter, she immediately sensed that the master was protecting them, she asked the servant girl to support her, and leaned forward.

"Miss, this is because the servant is not kind. The servant believed the words of others and was obsessed with ghosts. He committed a wrong thing, and the servant felt ashamed. No matter how the eldest miss punishes the servant, the servant is willing."

Aunt Lan spoke pitifully, showing her slender neck.

"Don't make any mistakes next time." Chu Sheng picked it up high, and then dropped it gently.

Chu Luoyi raised her eyebrows: "That's all?"

Chu Sheng looked at each other angrily:
"Anyway, Aunt Lan has worked hard to take care of you for many years, and she is even pregnant. It's not as good as before. Wei'er is also your sister. They have already admitted their mistake. What else do you want to do?"

Asking this question seemed like she was making trouble for no reason.

Chu Luoyi stood up: "If you make a mistake and don't punish it, isn't it fueling the flames? Today, I will commit crimes, steal the mistress's things, and only admit my mistakes when I find out. What about tomorrow?"

She spoke softly.

"Second sister is not married yet, and she has also learned those dirty tricks. If this news gets out, who would dare to propose marriage to the Hou's mansion? People who come out of the Hou's mansion, do you think it will be a little bit?"

I want to make big things into small things, and small things into small things.

dream!

Chu Sheng's face was ugly, and he didn't know how to refute for a while.

not to mention.

There was a hint of threat in her words.

If Aunt Lan is not dealt with, tomorrow the capital will be in dire turmoil.

Said that he is a majestic lord who spoils his concubine and kills his wife!
She couldn't help but glanced at the two men standing beside her.

There was a hint of interest in Mu Jinchuan's eyes, and he was a little surprised, but he didn't feel disgusted, as if he was interested in Chu Luoyi's style.

Yun Chen didn't look good towards them.

"Blue's—"

Chu Sheng made up his mind.

"The mother and daughter of the Lan family don't know the dignity and inferiority, so they steal the dowry ornaments from the mistress and use their power for personal gain. , to pray for the deceased mistress."

Chu Weier wanted to argue again, but Aunt Lan held her hand and saluted Chu Sheng respectfully.

"The slave is willing to accept the punishment."

In her heart, the resentment towards Chu Luoyi reached the extreme.

It's just a few dowries.

She will recover this account one by one!

Noticing their resentful eyes, Chu Luoyi didn't care, even regretted it.

Chu Sheng too shielded them.

Kneeling in the Buddhist hall and writing Buddhist scriptures, this matter is just like that.

The original owner and Bai's family have such a patriarch.

It's really bad luck for eight lifetimes.

"Take the box into the carriage."

Chu Luoyi ordered the remaining guards to carry the box away.

Staying in the Hou's mansion for a second longer makes me feel sick.

She and her elder brother Mu Jinchuan returned home with a cart full of dowry.

On the carriage, Chu Luoyi noticed Mu Jinchuan's eyes that were as deep as ink, and ignored them.

Almost at the gate of the palace, a deep and magnetic voice came from my ears.

"This king has really seen the eloquence of the princess."

This is inexplicable.

Chu Luoyi was about to ask clearly when the carriage stopped.

Mu Jinchuan lifted the curtain of the car and left.

There was no displeasure in his tone, but a hint of inquiry.

Chu Luoyi's eyes flickered.

Jumping out of the car, turning his head, Yun Chen got off a carriage from behind.

"Brother." She greeted him with a smile, and caught a glimpse of the guard unloading the box, "Don't move yet."

She stopped.

"Brother, as I said before, you will take the mother's dowry. It will be transported directly to you in a carriage, which is convenient and easy."

Disapproval appeared on Yunchen's elegant face.

Witnessing all kinds of things in the Hou Mansion, he knew that Luo Yi's life was not easy, and he felt uneasy about her not having a family by her side.

"Brother was negligent before, so I didn't think carefully." He said, "On the way back home, I thought about it for a long time, and I still think that it would be more convenient for you to keep the dowry by your side. what."

Chu Luoyi wondered, didn't they talk well before?

Seeing the expression of guilt and remorse in Yun Chen's eyes.

It dawned on her.

Perhaps it was the scene in the Hou Mansion that made him change his mind.

The dowry must never be left in the palace.

Chu Luoyi had a flash of inspiration, "What did you say, brother? You are my brother. If the mother accepts you as a son, I will have my brother's share of the dowry! To put it further, in the future, my brother will have a beloved woman. You have to give credit to your mother."

Yunchen suddenly warmed up, and his heart seemed to be soaked in hot springs, warm.

"But..." He couldn't accept Luo Yi's kindness.

"Brother." Chu Luoyi blinked, "If you're worried about my poor life, you can send me something, it's more convenient than these."

Chu Luoyi spoke frankly, but there was still a trace of uneasiness in her expression.

I have lived half my life, and it has always been others who take the initiative to give things.

When is it her turn to speak up?
