The princess has super powers and space, so what's wrong with being a little arrogant?

It was already the 3:00 AM when Mu Xiyue and Xiaotao fell asleep. It felt like they had only been asleep for a short while when they were woken up by a loud noise.

Mu Xiyue knew that it must be Mu Fengnian who discovered the theft in the warehouse, so she put on her coat and went out.

"It's not even daybreak yet, what are you doing?"

Mu Xiyue's dissatisfied shout stopped the noise in the courtyard. Chun Ya came over and whispered, "Miss, the master said that the storehouse was robbed last night."

Mu Fengnian and Liu Mei'er were standing in the yard with a few servants and maids holding lanterns. Xiao Tao was stopping them from entering the house.

Mu Xiyue walked over and frowned, "Father, Second Madam, was the warehouse robbed last night? How much stuff was stolen?"

Mu Fengnian saw that Mu Xiyue was not in a bad mood today, and it seemed that she was worried about the poison in her body, so he started to act arrogantly again.

"Yue'er, the large storehouse in the mansion and the small storehouse in your mother's courtyard were both looted last night. Your father went to Jingzhao Prefecture to report the crime at dawn, but we still need to search the entire mansion beforehand."

Mu Xiyue sneered, "Father, are you worried that thieves will hide their stolen property in our yard, or do you think I am the thief?"

Mu Fengnian got up early in the morning and was about to go to court, but was told that the warehouse had been robbed. He hurried to the study and opened the secret room. There was no money left in the secret room, and the account books were gone. He was angry and uneasy, and did not go to court.

He also knew that it must have been done by someone outside, but he also suspected that there was someone inside the mansion who was behind it. It was incredible that so many things were moved away without making any noise.

He thought of his daughter Mu Xiyue, who had strange skills and an unruly temper. Nothing had happened in the mansion for many years before, but less than a month after Mu Xiyue came back, such a big thing happened. How could he not be suspicious?

So he asked people to investigate and hurriedly brought them to the yard.

"Yue'er, did you hear anything last night?"

Mu Xiyue told Xiaotao to move aside and said, "Let them search."

He then turned to Mu Fengnian and said, "Father, how long does it take to walk from your yard? Don't you have any idea how far my shabby yard is from your warehouse? Not to mention that thieves won't beat drums and gongs when they come, even if you beat drums and gongs over there, I won't hear much noise over here!"

This is also the truth, after all, this is the most remote courtyard in the Marquis' Mansion!

Mu Fengnian was choked and speechless for a moment. He paused and felt that it would be better to appease this chess piece first.

"Yue'er, your father is just worried that you will be deceived by thieves."

As they were speaking, the servants and women who were searching the house came out and said there was nothing.

Mu Fengnian looked around the yard with a sullen face. Mu Xiyue smiled and said sarcastically, "Deceived by thieves? Father, do you suspect that I'm colluding with thieves? You're such a good father! Your men may not have searched thoroughly enough, why don't you search it yourself?"

Mu Fengnian looked at Mu Xiyue with a questioning look in his eyes. He couldn't understand his daughter at all.

"Yue'er, since you're fine, take a good rest!"

He knew about Mu Xiyue's visits to Prince Jin's Mansion several times, and he also knew that Prince Jin accompanied her shopping. He hoped that he could control her.

Mu Fengnian took his men away. Mu Xiyue asked Xiaotao and Chunya to go back to sleep, and she went back into the room.

In the morning, Mu Xiyue asked Chun Ya to keep an eye on the house. Didn't Mu Fengnian say that they would go to Jingzhao Prefecture to report the case at dawn to see what the ancient police could find out? Then she took Xiao Tao out of the house.

The two of them were walking to Xiao Yibai's house in the west of the city. There was someone following them, but Mu Xiyue pretended not to know. It didn't matter if others knew who was in the house.

The two of them talked as they walked, and it only took them fifteen minutes to reach the house in the west of the city. The distance was indeed not far.

In the house in the west of the city, the person who bought something yesterday and the two little beggars had all changed into clean new clothes and were in good spirits. Mu Xiyue looked very satisfied.

Xiaodouzi was very smart. When he saw Mu Xiyue, he stepped forward and kowtowed. "Xiaodouzi greets the distinguished one."

Seeing this, the others also wanted to kneel down and salute, but Mu Xiyue stopped them.

"Everyone, you don't have to kneel when you greet me from now on. My last name is Mu and my given name is Xiyue. You can call me Miss Mu."

Everyone bowed and saluted, "Greetings, Miss Mu."

Mu Xiyue raised her hand and said, "Let me tell you what you will do in the future."

Programs like crosstalk and sketches have never been seen in Tianqi Country. Mu Xiyue roughly talked about some of the programs she could think of, and everyone listened attentively.

Finally, Mu Xiyue added, "If the museum's revenue increases, we'll give you extra bonuses. As long as you perform well, you might even get a guest to tip you individually. Of course, if you don't want to be an artist, you can ask for that. I'll try my best to find you something else to do."

Xiao Douzi looked up and asked, "Sister Mu, can I be an entertainer too?"

Mu Xiyue squatted down and looked him in the eye. "Yes, some skits need children. You can also do crosstalk, magic tricks, and clapper talk. You can do a lot as long as you want. There will be things your sister can do if she wants to."

Xiaodouzi said firmly, "Sister Mu, I will study hard and I will definitely learn it well."

Mu Xiyue touched his head and said, "Okay, sister believes you can do it."

He stood up and asked the others, "Everyone, do you want to learn? After five years, I will return the indentures of any artist working at the kunai. But let me be clear: if you do anything detrimental to the kunai during those five years, you might not even be released into slavery, and you might even be able to survive. After five years, as long as you're still willing to work at the kunai, you can sign a living contract with the kunai, which is renewed annually. Artists with living contracts receive a higher monthly salary."

Most people said they wanted to without hesitation, and they all looked very excited, as if they had been injected with chicken blood.

Mu Xiyue nodded with satisfaction. Not everyone among these people was suitable to be an artist, but she could always train a few.

Mu Xiyue saw the two girls were silent, her eyes full of envy. Mu Xiyue remembered that these two girls were sisters. Their father was originally an official, but later he committed a crime and the women in the family were enslaved.

Mu Xiyue flipped through the indentures in her hand. One of the persons was named Yan Ruyi and the other Yan Ruxue.

"Don't you two want to be entertainers? Don't you think it's too embarrassing?"

The reason why she chose these two girls yesterday was because they could play the qin. Mu Xiyue herself couldn't play the qin, so she certainly couldn't teach it. Besides, it takes time to learn to play the qin well. These two girls were originally daughters of officials, so they must have learned it since childhood, so their qin playing should not be too bad.

Secondly, these two people can read and write, so they can read the script to everyone. If they are interested and capable, they can also write it themselves.

Yan Ruyi shook her head and smiled bitterly, "Miss Mu, we are willing. But we are the daughters of convicted officials and will be slaves for life."

Mu Xiyue really didn't know that there was such a rule in ancient times.

"If it's the imperial court's rule that you can't be transferred to a good position, then there's nothing I can do about it. But even if you're slaves, you can live a better life. As long as you're loyal to me, you can live with your back held high. Do you understand what I mean?"
