Zhan Jingchen glanced at him and said, "Go to the dungeon and receive your punishment."

Lei Er clasped his fists and retreated: "Yes!" But he couldn't understand his master's attitude towards the second young lady.

But this time he was indeed too suspicious. Although the Second Miss Tangxi seemed like someone who could do such a thing, how could a woman like her have such ability?

Not to mention that she could pick out a piece of gold, and she could do it quietly, which was not something an ordinary woman could do.

Besides, who doesn't know? General Tangxi has always been in the frontier, and Miss Tangxi has been raised in the capital. Not to mention kung fu and internal strength, she hasn't even learned the art of music, chess, calligraphy and painting.

Zhan Jingchen also thought of this, and he began to wonder unconsciously, how did this woman do it? Did she really have martial arts skills?

The last time she robbed someone, her speed was indeed amazing. She was able to knock down two adult men with one punch, so she must be quite strong.

But how did she know the layout of the palace in such a short time? And how did she avoid those patrolling guards? He became more and more curious.

Could it be that they have someone in the palace? Who is the person behind her? Is she so rampant? What is her purpose?

After a few days, there was no progress in the theft, and people in the palace were in a panic, with rumors spreading that a famous thief with sophisticated means had appeared in the world.

Since this matter concerned the dignity of the royal family, it was not publicized. Except for high-ranking officials, no one else knew about it.

At this time in the court, Zhan Jingxuan was furious: "How can this be! You haven't caught the thief yet, what's the point of me keeping you?! A bunch of trash."

At this moment, the left prime minister stood up and said, "Your Majesty, I have something to report."

Zhan Jingxuan gave him an unpleasant look and said, "Speak!"

The left prime minister sneered at Tang Xijing and said, "On the day of the theft, the second young lady of Tang Xi Mansion was summoned to the palace by the Empress Dowager. If it's not an internal thief, then an external thief can't just enter if he wants to."

Tang Xijing was stunned, then angrily said: "What do you mean, Zuo Xiang? My daughter is gentle and well-behaved, weak but sensible, and she would never steal. Moreover, this is a capital crime, and my mansion doesn't need a piece of gold."

The corner of Zuo Xiang's mouth twitched. Gentle and well-behaved? Weak and sensible? This old man must be blind and deaf! Didn't he hear a word of what was spread in the city?

"General, why are you so angry? I am just telling you the truth. Since you are so upright, are you afraid that the emperor will investigate your daughter?"

Tang Xijing was a military general after all, so how could he win the argument against the eloquent Zuo Xiang? He could only be furious.

"Humph! I know my daughter's situation very well. If I haven't found anything, what can you do, Left Prime Minister?!"

The left prime minister smiled and said, "If nothing is found, then I am naturally happy for the general."

"you!……"

Zhan Jingxuan had a headache: "Alright! Shut up!"

"Third... the second young lady of Tangxi Mansion has been accompanying my mother since she entered the palace. I was also present. When she left, she also left with Prince Chen. Does the Left Prime Minister suspect that Prince Chen and I are also thieves?!"

The left prime minister was shocked and knelt down immediately: "Your Majesty, please forgive me, Prince Chen, please forgive me, it was me who was confused, and I just wanted to share your worries!"

Zhan Jingchen said coldly: "She is my person, can't the palace give her a piece of gold?"

The left prime minister's forehead was covered with sweat. Wasn't it said that Prince Chen hated the second young lady of Tangxi Mansion?

If something were found out about the second young lady of Tangxi Mansion, then this marriage would naturally not be possible, and Prince Chen should thank himself!

Besides, only in this way can he have the opportunity to let his daughter enter the palace, otherwise his daughter can only be a concubine.

Who would have known that this Prince Chen was actually completely opposite to what was rumored, and actually spoke up for the Second Young Lady!

At this moment, he could only blame himself for his bad luck: "It was because I was confused."

At this time, another minister stood up and said, "Your Majesty, the prince's wedding is imminent. According to the imperial system and customs, the two should not meet before the wedding."

"Yes, Your Majesty, this is against etiquette."

"Your Majesty, is Prince Chen's marriage too hasty? The time is too tight."

Zhan Jingxuan had a terrible headache and gave his third brother a look: Handle it yourself.

Zhan Jingchen smiled and said, "My dear ministers, instead of worrying about the people of the world, you are worrying about my family affairs?"

Everyone lowered their heads and dared not speak.

Zhan Jingchen continued to ask: "How is the grain harvest this year? How much has it increased compared to previous years? Can every household eat rice?"

"Have you thought of a useful solution to the flood? Where do the refugees outside the city come from, and how can they be settled?"

Zhan Jingchen asked the question word by word, and everyone lowered their heads.

He sneered: "The people of the world are the major issues you should consider. You don't need to interfere in my family affairs."

Zhan Jingxuan sighed: "If there is something to report, then report it. If there is nothing to report, then leave the court."

But at this moment no one dared to step forward, and they all lowered their heads like quails.

After the court session, Tang Xijing followed Zhan Jingchen.

"Thank you, Your Majesty."

Zhan Jingchen helped him up: "General, there is no need to thank me. We are a family from now on."

-

In a blink of an eye, a month has passed. Tang Xiluo has been eating and sleeping all the time this month. His life is so comfortable.

"Miss, it's time to get up! Today is your wedding day."

Tang Xiluo turned over and said, "Yeah, I got it."

Xiaoli was helpless and couldn't wake her up at all!

"Miss!……"

When Tang Xirou came in, she saw her sleeping in a leisurely posture with her legs spread out.

"Tang Xiluo, get up!"

Tang Xiluo lying on the bed opened her eyes and blinked in confusion. Why did she feel like she heard her elder sister's voice?

Tang Xirou was touched by her cute look when she just woke up and was confused. After spending this month with her, she gradually let go of her inner grudges.

"Hurry up! Xiaoli, do her makeup."

Even when he sat in front of the dressing table, Tang Xiluo was still in a trance.

Is she about to step into the grave of marriage? She has lived two lifetimes and has never tasted the bitterness of love!

Tang Xirou sighed, then handed over a box: "This is what my father asked me to give you. This is the dowry that my mother prepared for you when you were just born."

Tang Xiluo's eyes lit up, and he quickly stretched out his hands and hugged her in his arms: "Thank you, Mom and Dad, thank you, big sister." Unexpectedly, Dad and Mom had each prepared a dowry for her.

Even though her father had this good thing, he didn't know how to give it out earlier, which made her nervous and do some sneaky things.

Tang Xirou saw her helpless and shook her head: "The palace is not like the general's palace. You must be careful when you go there. Don't be lazy and playful like you are at home."

Their mother died early, and it was impossible for Mrs. Lin to prepare anything for them, so there were some things that only she could tell her sister. After all, their father was a man, and he had a careless personality, so he couldn't take care of many things.

Tang Xiluo smiled and apologized from the bottom of her heart on behalf of the original owner: "Thank you for reminding me, big sister. It was my fault before. I don't ask for your forgiveness, but I just hope that you can live a happy life in the future."

Tang Xirou was stunned for a moment, then tears welled up in the corners of her eyes. She didn't know whether she was moved or sad about her own situation.

She had reached the age for marriage, but it was impossible for Mrs. Lin to plan everything for her. Her father was a rough man and did not understand these things. She was not as lucky as her sister to have a marriage arranged by the late emperor.

She herself didn't know how to go on with her life. She had a home, but she didn't feel any warmth and she had no one to rely on.

Now her younger sister, who is from the same mother as her, is also getting married, and she doesn’t know how long she can stay in the mansion.

She wiped her tears and smiled gently: "Well, I will."

Soon all the maids in charge of the palace came, and Lin was released on the special day.

Looking at the glorious Tang Xiluo, and then thinking of his daughter who was still suffering in a farm outside the capital, he gnashed his teeth in hatred, and didn't feel any pain even when his fingers dug into his palms.

Although the marriage was arranged hastily, it was still arranged according to the specifications of a princess, and people came and went, surrounding the general's mansion so tightly that no one could get in or out.

Since it was a prince marrying a concubine, there would be no scene of wedding disturbance. The fact that the prince's palace sent so many people to pick up the bride was already giving enough face to the general's palace.

"Congratulations, General!"

"Today is the wedding day of our second daughter. Don't be restrained, eat and drink as much as you want!"

Tang Xijing looked at his daughter who was about to go out with red eyes: "Your elder brother can't make it back from the frontier, don't blame him."

Tang Xiluo shook her head: "Don't worry, Daddy, your daughter will understand."

The old nanny glanced at the time and said, "General, Princess, the bridal sedan has arrived at the palace."
