The Time Traveling Anchor and Her Eight Hundred Fence-Sitters
Chapter 66: The Dog's Life
After knowing that Xie Chen wanted to arrest the assassin who broke into the Grand Tutor's Mansion and assassinated Xiao Haizhou, no one in the He family dared to say a word, for fear that they would say something wrong and be arrested by the Xuanlin Guards as the assassin's accomplice.
Qin Shuyu seemed to have thought of something, and her face looked very unhappy, but she stood in the corner with her arms around Lan Jie'er, and no one noticed her abnormality.
After a while, all the Xuanlin guards who were searching returned to the front hall. Xie Chen said a few words to the leader, and then one of them stepped out and trotted away from the He family.
After an incense stick of time, the Xuanlin Guard who left the He family came back and brought back three or two maids.
The maids stood in the front hall of the He family, each with a sharp look, as if they wanted to shoot a hole in people.
"Thank you, sir. You are..."
Since Grand Tutor Xiao Haizhou was involved, He Zhaoxian did not dare to stop the Xuanlin Guards.
But it was obvious that Xie Chen did not find the person he was looking for in the backyard, and he wanted to target the women in the family. He Zhaoxian really couldn't stand it anymore, so he stepped forward and stood in front of the women in the family.
Xie Chen curled his lips with a fake smile and said without much emotion:
"It was dark, and the guards couldn't see the assassin's face clearly. We came here to find the assassin, and logically we should have moved to another place if we couldn't find him. But the assassin took something very important from the Grand Tutor's Mansion when he escaped.
Sir Xiao meant that it doesn't matter if we can't find the assassin, as long as we find the lost things, we will complete the mission, so I will search every place in the He family."
If Xie Chen had said this before entering the house, no one would have thought there was anything wrong with it, but he said it after the Xuanlin Guards turned the He family upside down, and then there was some unclear meaning.
Especially since he had just sent people to find a few maids in the palace, obviously to do it in front of He Zhaoxian and He Jianxing...
search!
It goes without saying who the subject of this body search is.
Except for the men of the He family, all the women, from top to bottom, cannot escape!!
[Oh my god, what on earth was lost in the Taifu Mansion? Why is there such a big fuss? Maybe it was a tiger talisman or something like that.]
[You must have read too many novels. How could a tiger talisman appear in the residence of a great master? ? ]
[What do you think it is? It can't be a jade pendant or something that symbolizes status, right? As for other things, just throw them away. There's no need to make such a big fuss about it.]
[Anchor, if you ask me, your second brother is also awesome. He caused such a commotion...]
[Wait, wait, what did you say before? ]
[Hmm? I said the host's second brother is awesome, he made a mess of things. ]
[No, the one in front of you, what did you say? ]
[Ah, me? I said, "As for the other things, just throw them away. There's no need to make such a big fuss about it." What, am I wrong? ]
[No, no, have you forgotten the thing that the anchor took off He Shiyun's body at night, the thing worth 2000 gold coins, which allowed her to directly upgrade to level 3? ? ]
【Ah, what is that? 】
[It’s a topaz…ring.]
[Oh no~ Host, you are done! ]
Zhao Mianmian:
【…】
At the moment, apart from Xie Chen, no one knows what was lost in the Grand Tutor's Mansion.
But Zhao Mianmian had a hunch that the ring she snatched from He Shiyun's hand must be what Xie Chen was looking for.
She was wondering why she was so lucky. She could just steal something from He Shiyun that was worth 2000 gold coins. Not only did it help her make back her money, but she also directly upgraded to level 3.
It turned out that the big pit was waiting for her here.
However, the maids brought by Xie Chen had already searched everyone in order. Could she really throw away the hot potato without telling anyone?
Not to mention whether she would attract the attention of the Xuanlin Guards by throwing such a big thing, she suddenly lost 2000 gold coins. Would the dog system be so unkind as to demote her from level 3 back to level 2? !
It’s really... killing me!
Seeing that several maids had finished searching Dong Zhu, they were reaching out to her.
Zhao Mianmian gritted her teeth, stuck her butt out, lay on the ground, pointed at the nanny closest to her, and started crying loudly.
“Wow, wow, Zhuzhu, Zhuzhu is gone!!”
"Bad guy, stole my beads!!"
Zhao Mianmian howled at the top of her lungs, which scared the old lady who was extending her hand to her.
The old nanny has worked in the palace for her entire life, and she has never seen a girl from a wealthy family dare to speak nonsense in front of the Xuanlin Guards like Zhao Mianmian did.
Forget about the beads, she didn't even touch the corner of this girl's clothes, so how could she do such a dirty thing? ?
In front of Xie Chen, the old nanny didn't dare to force it. She turned her head and looked at the other party hesitantly, wanting to say something.
Seeing Xie Chen's sharp eyes shooting straight at her, the old nanny quickly knelt on the ground and explained:
"Thank you for your insight, sir. I am a nanny in the palace and would never do such a stealing thing. It's, it's this girl..."
"What is it?"
Xie Chen frowned and took a few steps towards the two of them.
Qin Shuyu saw this and hurried forward, picked up Zhao Mianmian from the ground, and persuaded her carefully:
"Sister Mian, please don't talk nonsense. Master Xie is watching."
Zhao Mianmian immediately took off her shoes and held them in her hands:
"Zhuzhu!"
“It’s gone!!!”
Seeing Zhao Mianmian holding up the shoes, everyone hurriedly looked at the small embroidered shoes. Sure enough, the ginger-yellow embroidered shoes were bare, with only a piece of embroidery thread of the same color left. It was obvious that the original embroidery on them had been torn off.
As for what the embroidered shoes were originally made of...
Everyone looked at Zhao Mianmian's other foot again.
It turned out to be a South China pearl the size of a fingernail!!
For a moment, everyone looked at the old lady with eyes filled with suspicion and accusation.
"Oh, the South Pearl that Sister Mian had was given to her by Lord Xie. This old maid is really bold. She dared to steal the South Pearl in front of Lord Xie. Who knows how she made money in the palace in the past."
"Well, I think it's not her fault. Since the death of the late emperor, Empress Dowager Xiao has been a vegetarian all day long, and the food and clothing expenses in the palace have also been reduced by several levels.
In addition, the young emperor is still young and has not experienced sex, so everything in the harem is kept simple, and naturally there is no more lucrative business than before."
"But this nanny looks so serious, but she can actually do such a thing. You can't judge a person by his appearance!"
After two or three sentences of discussion, the old nanny that Xie Chen found turned pale.
She had lived her entire life, and had always been careful with her words and actions in the palace, and had never been falsely accused like this.
Regardless of whether she stole the beads or not, the rumors that were spread around were enough to make her suffer.
Thinking of this, the old nanny gnashed her teeth and followed the example of the Zhao family girl, lying on the ground and crying loudly:
"Oh, it's unfair~ I am so wronged~~"
"God knows me well, the sun and the moon can testify to my innocence. I have lived a clean life and have never done anything as dirty as stealing or cheating."
The old lady has a loud voice, which is definitely not comparable to Zhao Mianmian's.
After he fell to the ground, the whole front hall was filled with deafening and piercing demonic sound.
In the end, even Xie Chen couldn't stand it anymore. He waved his hand with a dark face and quickly asked the Xuanlin Guards to take those old maids out.
"Alright, this young lady from the He family is only three years old, and there's nothing she can hide on her body. Forget it, no need to search."
As soon as Xie Chen finished speaking, everyone in the room breathed a sigh of relief.
