Regent, the princess you found is a treasure

Chapter 16: What do you think of this given by the King?

Upon hearing this, Master Pei hurriedly asked, "Second Miss, is there anything else you haven't checked?"

Su Qingrou looked at her father, and Prime Minister Su hurriedly said, "Sir Pei, my eldest daughter Su Luoxue has not been checked in the yard."

Lord Pei hurriedly asked: "Then, Lord Prime Minister, do you want to...?"

Su Qingrou saw her father hesitate and immediately said, "Father!"

"Yes, it needs to be checked." Prime Minister Su looked at his second daughter's unhappy face and said quickly.

So, the group went to the bamboo garden.

Meanwhile, in the bamboo garden, Su Luoxue was taking a nap in a lounge chair in the yard. She had wanted to go out today, but the gatekeeper said that the storehouse in the mansion had been robbed and now only entry was allowed, not exit. Jingzhao Prefecture had already sent people to investigate.

Then let’s check it out, Su Luoxue laughed secretly in her heart. The things in the warehouse are all in her space, let them find it.

Meixiang and I returned to the bamboo garden. After having lunch, we lay down in the yard.

Just as she was about to fall asleep, she heard a cracking sound. Turning back, she saw that the poor little broken bamboo gate of her own courtyard had been kicked into pieces by the guards at Su Qingrou's order.

Su Luoxue stood up and looked at her poor gate. It seemed that she should find time to make it higher and stronger.

Meixiang also ran out quickly when she heard the noise. When she saw such a large group of people, including soldiers, although she was scared, she still stood behind the young lady, ready to protect her at any time.

Looking at the group of people again, the one walking in front was his father, his second sister Su Qingrou, and a man about 1.8 feet tall, with a sturdy build, wearing official uniform. He guessed that this was the Jingzhao Yin of Jingzhao Prefecture, and there were some soldiers following behind them.

Su Luoxue stepped forward and said, "Father, I don't know what's going on. Why did you bring soldiers to my daughter's yard?"

Before Prime Minister Su could speak, Su Qingrou spoke first: "Yesterday, the storehouse in the mansion was robbed. It's such a big thing, sister must know about it."

Su Luoxue said: "I just found out this morning, what does this have to do with me?"

"Master Pei of Jingzhao Prefecture suspected that it was an internal thief, and searched the entire Prime Minister's Mansion. Only my sister's house has not been searched, so I came here to search it." Su Qingrou turned around and asked Pei Yuan: "Master Pei, is that right?"

Pei Yuan was impressed the moment he entered the courtyard. As a daughter of the prime minister's mansion, the second daughter wore silk and satin and lived in a spacious and luxurious courtyard.

Looking at this young lady, not only does she live in a remote and dilapidated courtyard in the prime minister's mansion, she also wears clothes made of ordinary cloth. There are only four or five rooms in the courtyard, and she has a maid. There is nothing furnished in the courtyard either, and it looks deserted and dilapidated.

I heard that this eldest daughter is not the daughter of the current Prime Minister's wife. No wonder! He also knows about the shameful and dirty things going on in the backyard of this mansion.

Seeing the second young lady asking him, Pei Yuan quickly bowed to Su Luoxue and said, "Please forgive me for disturbing the eldest young lady."

Su Luoxue saw that Lord Pei was very polite and did not want to make things difficult for him. Anyway, even if he turned the yard upside down, he would not find anything in the warehouse.

So she politely said to Pei Yuan: "Sir Pei, since it is official business, please do as you please. It's just that the tables and chairs in my yard are a bit worn out. Sir Pei, please ask your men to be gentle. If they are damaged, I will have no more." After saying that, she glanced at Prime Minister Su: "Father, am I right?"

When Prime Minister Su was asked this question by Su Luoxue, he could only cough a few times in embarrassment.

Pei Yuan felt even more contemptuous of Prime Minister Su. He then ordered his men not to damage anything in the courtyard during the inspection.

After all the trouble, the stolen items in the warehouse were not found, but a lot of food was found, including rice, noodles, meat, vegetables, etc., which were exactly what Meixiang bought on the street yesterday.

Su Qingrou looked at the food on the ground and said to Su Luoxue: "Sister, what is this?"

Su Luoxue was speechless. Are you blind? Food, you don't know it? "Why, sister, you don't even know these, right?" Su Luoxue asked.

"Of course I know you. I'm just curious about where you got these things. You probably don't have the money to buy them, right? Your monthly salary is only 50 copper coins. Could it be that the things that were lost from the kitchen in the mansion two days ago were stolen by you?" Su Luoxue stepped forward and asked.

A young lady from an official family only gets 50 copper coins a month? Any second-class maid in any family gets more than one tael of silver a month, and this is the eldest daughter of the Prime Minister's Mansion.

Lord Pei and the officers and soldiers all looked at Prime Minister Su, who suddenly felt ashamed and quickly stopped them, saying, "Qingrou, don't talk nonsense. How could your elder sister only have that little salary in a month?"

Su Qingrou had no idea what her father was thinking, nor what the officers and soldiers were thinking, and she didn't want to know.

Still insisting on Su Luoxue, he said, "Sister, did you steal the food from the kitchen? Otherwise, you don't have the money to buy these things."

Su Luoxue actually had money from a legitimate source, which was the 10,000 taels she earned from treating the old Grand Tutor, but she didn't want them to know that she knew medical skills.

Just when I didn't know how to explain, I heard someone behind the crowd say, "This is what the king gave me. How about it?"
