Looking at Tai'an from the full moon

"What is Aunt doing with all this fuss?"

A magnetic male voice suddenly came from behind the princess. She turned around and saw the servants in the mansion leading Xiao Zuochen towards the courtyard of the study. Xiao Zuochen was accompanied by his guard, Yun Wei.

Seeing this, the eldest princess had no choice but to tell him the general reason, but she did not mention that the abnormality was first discovered in Princess Jiashan's room. After all, a girl's reputation is very important.

After hearing this, Xiao Zuochen's face first showed an expression of disbelief, and then some anger.

"How dare someone steal in the Princess's mansion in broad daylight?"

The eldest princess was also very angry, so in her opinion, Xiao Zuochen's expression was very real.

But the real reason Xiao Zuochen was angry was because Chu Yao had brought Yun You to the princess's residence without telling him. With Chu Yao's brain, if he and Yun You were discovered at the same time, he would not be able to defend himself. Not only would he not be able to defend himself, but it would also make his purpose more solid. Even if the princess released them for his sake, she would still use this as a handle to threaten him.

When Xiao Zuochen stepped into the courtyard just now, he heard what the princess's maid said. It seemed that the princess didn't want the servants to go in first, but she didn't dare to go in herself. So he spoke.

"That thief may be skilled in martial arts. If you trust your nephew, please let my guards go in and take a look."

"this..."

The eldest princess herself was worried that outsiders would see her "secrets", even her own nephew was still an outsider.

Seeing the eldest princess hesitate, Xiao Zuochen continued to speak.

"Aunt, don't worry. Yun Wei has been with me for a long time and is a person who knows his limits."

The princess looked at Xiao Zuochen. Indeed, if her secret was known to others, then the best person here would be Xiao Zuochen. After all, even if he knew, he would not tell others casually. At most, he would use this secret to threaten her. But if the servants knew, there would be a high probability that this secret would be spread.

"Okay, then I'll have to trouble Yun Wei to protect you."

The princess was relieved, and Xiao Zuochen was also relieved. He turned around and motioned Yun Wei to go in and check.

Yun Wei naturally knew what happened today. Although he guessed that the two of them should have been hiding in the corner of the house, he still walked up and slowly opened the door to give them some time to hide. He opened both doors so that people outside could see the situation in the middle of the house, and also to dispel the princess's doubts.

Then Yun Wei walked into the room. There weren't many things in the princess' study, and one could see everything by standing at the door and looking inside. When Yun Wei turned his head to look at the desk, he met two pairs of sneaky eyes.

At this time, Chu Yao and Yun You were squatting behind the desk, leaning on the desk to look at Yun Wei. Seeing that it was Yun Wei who came in, they breathed a sigh of relief, and Chu Yao even waved at Yun Wei. Yun Wei had no expression on his face, walked towards them, and then punched Chu Yao on the head. Chu Yao was in so much pain that he was about to cry, but he still didn't dare to make a sound. Seeing that Yun Wei was angry, Yun You, who was standing by, immediately acted well and didn't dare to make a sound.

"What's that noise? What's going on inside?"

The eldest princess was standing outside the house. When she heard some noise inside, she hurriedly shouted inside.

Yun Wei did not respond immediately. He glared at the two people in the room, then went to the other side of the room in front of everyone, pretending to check. Finally, he slowly left the room and shook his head at Xiao Zuochen and the princess. He did not close the door. If he closed the door at this time, it would arouse the princess's suspicion and she would want to go in and see what was going on.

"No."

Yun Wei simply said two words, then walked behind Xiao Zuochen without saying anything else.

Seeing this, the eldest princess wanted to go into the study, but was stopped by Xiao Zuochen behind her.

"Aunt, have you had lunch yet? I haven't had my meal yet. If you don't mind, I'll stay here for a while."

Upon hearing this, the princess stopped walking towards the study.

"No, I was actually having lunch with Jiashan just now, but I didn't expect this to happen, so I haven't finished lunch yet. If you don't mind, come and eat with me."

After saying that, the princess looked in the direction of the study again, then signaled the maid beside her to close the study door. She then went to the front hall with Xiao Zuochen.

Princess Jiashan, who had been eating lunch alone in the front hall, was arguing with the maid who was guarding her. She didn't know why the maid suddenly said that she was guarding her here on her mother's orders and would not let her go anywhere. However, in fact, it was only Princess Jiashan who was arguing, and the maid didn't dare to talk back to her.

“Jiashan, what are you doing!”

The eldest princess' slightly serious voice sounded.

Princess Jiashan turned around and saw the eldest princess coming over. She looked aggrieved and was ready to rush to the eldest princess to act like a spoiled child. But after she ran a few steps, she saw Xiao Zuochen behind the eldest princess and immediately restrained herself and pretended to be a lady.

"Cousin Chen?"

Princess Jiashan's voice was filled with unconcealable excitement.

"How did you come?"

The princess looked at her daughter, who was originally planning to talk to her, and now had her eyes fixed on Xiao Zuochen. She shook her head helplessly. This child did not have the courage she had when she was young—the courage to choose any man in the world.

"Why, you don't welcome me?"

Xiao Zuochen asked.

"How could that be? Jiashan likes cousin Chen the most!"

Princess Jiashan said this in a coquettish tone.

"Cousin, have you eaten yet? Let's eat some more together. The lunch at your house today is delicious! There are eight-treasure lotus seed porridge, steamed fish..."

Princess Jiashan counted on her fingers and introduced them to Xiao Zuochen one by one.

"Well, I didn't have lunch either."

As Xiao Zuochen spoke, he touched Princess Jiashan's head. The eldest princess looked at Xiao Zuochen's attitude towards Jiashan and had other thoughts in her mind.

And on the other side-

After Chu Yao and Yun You saw that the door was closed, they squatted behind the desk for a long time, until there was no movement outside, and then they secretly looked out from inside the room.

"This time they should be gone for good!"

Seeing that they were finally safe, the two began their mission today - finding the property deed - while guessing why Xiao Zuochen came to the Princess's residence. They didn't seem to know that Xiao Zuochen came because he felt that they were going to get into trouble. As luck would have it, he just happened to help them solve the crisis.

As for Xiao Zuochen, he had to rack his brains to find an excuse to explain why he appeared in the Princess's Mansion today. At this time, he felt bitter in his heart and secretly decided to go back and deal with Chu Yao!
