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

It's quite amusing. Mu Xiyue chuckled and said, "What kind of jade pendant did the princess lose? If she points to a random piece of jade pendant and says it's it, then I'll die unjustly."

Princess Qinyang thought she had noticed the weight of her purse was wrong and felt guilty. She looked at Xiao Yibai and the others, "My brothers, the emperor, all recognize this jade pendant. My grandfather used the same piece of jade to make ten jade pendants. Each one has the same pattern, and the only difference is the words carved on it."

Xiao Yixuan took off his jade pendant from his waist and said, "Sister Yue, it's this."

Mu Xiyue nodded at him. The maid who was struck by lightning had already climbed up from the ground. Mu Xiyue handed her the purse and said, "Then let's see if it's the princess's jade pendant."

The maid took the purse and opened it, "Why is it not there?"

Mu Xiyue curled her lips, "There wasn't one!"

The maidservant was not giving up and took out everything in her purse. Mu Xiyue stared at her movements and said, "Be careful, don't drop my banknotes. This is all I have."

She pulled out a dozen taels of silver from her purse, along with a stack of banknotes. Mu Xiyu snatched the banknotes and counted them, finding a total of over 13,000 taels. She immediately demanded in a shrill voice, "Why do you have so many banknotes? Your mother's monthly allowance is less than 4,000 taels. Did you steal from the mansion's treasury?"

Mu Xiyue dodged and snatched the banknotes back from Mu Xiyu's hand. She sneered, "Of course the banknotes were given to me by Prince Jin. Mu Xiyu, you're mentally ill and need treatment. Everything in the two storerooms of the Marquis' Mansion was taken away overnight. Do you think I could do that? Why don't you ask your father why he didn't report the theft? How could so many things be moved out of the mansion without making a sound? If it wasn't for someone stealing from the house, would your father not report it?"

This was a lot of information, and the onlookers began to whisper, and the topic seemed to have gone off track.

Mu Xiyue reached out her hand to the maid again, "Can you return my purse to me? Is the princess still trying to wrongly accuse me?"

Princess Qinyang winked at the maid to indicate that she should return it. She couldn't understand why. Qianshou would never make a mistake. He clearly said that he had put it in her purse, and her secret guards had been watching her the whole time. Mu Xiyue had not touched the purse at all. After they arrived, they didn't see Mu Xiyue touch the purse either. So where was the jade pendant?

Princess Qinyang knew she couldn't continue to make a fuss about this matter, or else her father would find out the whole story, and she might be punished. She had originally used the jade pendant, a symbol of her status, to make her case more convincing, but now she had lost it.

Shao Shuying whispered in Princess Qinyang's ear, "Princess, maybe she hid the jade pendant somewhere else. Should we have them both searched?"

Princess Qinyang hadn't gone mad yet. She searched Mu Xiyue's body based on nothing but speculation. Didn't she think it through? The fact that the Fifth Prince gave her 10,000 taels of silver showed that Mu Xiyue held a significant place in his heart. She didn't dare to offend him.

Princess Qinyang felt as uncomfortable as if she had swallowed a fly, but she had to put the matter aside.

"Miss Mu, I'm sorry. I was in a hurry and didn't check the situation clearly, so I misunderstood you."

Mu Xiyue hung the purse back on her waist and said magnanimously, "Since it's just a misunderstanding, it's good that it's clarified. I hope the princess won't be used as a pawn."

Princess Qinyang was unwilling but there was nothing she could do. She turned around and left with her men in hatred.

Mu Xiyu looked back at Mu Xiyue. She was still thinking about the banknotes. How could this bitch have so many banknotes? How could she have saved so many banknotes? She had only saved a thousand taels in all these years.

As soon as Princess Qinyang left, the other people who were surrounding her also dispersed. Xiao Yibai knew Mu Xiyue's plan. He used his mouth to signal her to be careful, and then left with the other princes.

Shao Jie and his three companions originally wanted to ask Mu Xiyue to go shopping with them, but Mu Xiyue refused. With so many people around her, she would have to find opportunities for others to plot against her, and she had to satisfy these people. Mu Xiyue planned to give them the opportunity according to their plan. She had already reminded Princess Qinyang just now, and if she still had any brains, she would be fine.

A short distance along the stream led to an artificial lake filled with lotus flowers, though it wasn't blooming season yet. Beside the lake stood a rockery with a stone pavilion atop it. Xiao Yibai, the Third Prince, Prince An, the Fourth Prince, Prince Qi, and the Sixth Prince, Xiao Yixuan, sat in the pavilion drinking tea, with four attendants standing to their side.

Mu Xiyue and Xiaotao were standing by the lake below the pavilion. When they saw the people in the pavilion, they smiled and nodded at them.

Xiao Yixuan wanted to go down and call Mu Xiyue to the pavilion, but was stopped by Xiao Yibai, "Don't go. Miss Mu can come up if she wants to. She likes quietness."

This was the position he and Mu Xiyue had agreed upon. Not only could he clearly see where Mu Xiyue was standing, but he could also hear the movements below.

Mu Xiyue only told Xiaotao about Mu Xiyu and Princess Qinyang's plan, but didn't tell her how to fight back. She was worried that without witnesses, she wouldn't be able to explain herself clearly and get bitten back. But when she saw the people in the pavilion, she felt relieved instantly. No wonder the young lady told her to just watch the show.

Xiaotao is a good person in this regard. She will never do anything without permission if Mu Xiyue doesn't allow her to do so. She just needs to cooperate with Mu Xiyue when she does something.

Soon, a girl who looked like a maid came over. Mu Xiyue remembered this maid. She was the maid of a young lady who served Princess Qinyang.

Mu Xiyue and Xiaotao were standing by the lake looking at the lake. The maid pretended to pass by Mu Xiyue, and suddenly she slipped and bumped into Mu Xiyue. Mu Xiyue was already on guard against people coming towards her, so how could she succeed? She dodged sideways and the maid's push missed, and inertia made her fall straight into the lake.

Mu Xiyue was quick to pull the person back a few steps. The maid broke out in a cold sweat and almost fell into the lake when she failed to push the person. Fortunately, Miss Mu grabbed her.

Mu Xiyue curled her lips and asked, "Which lady are you from?"

The maid was still a little confused. She said blankly, "I am a servant of the Second Young Lady of the Marquis of Chang'an. Thank you, Miss Mu, for saving me just now."

Mu Xiyue smiled. It turned out that the girl was the second sister Shao Jie mentioned. "It's okay. Be careful when you walk next time."

Not far away, Princess Qinyang and several young ladies were secretly watching this side. There was also a man hiding stealthily beside the rockery, but Mu Xiyue pretended not to see it.

The maidservant was afraid to go back because she hadn't completed her task, so she pretended to have sprained her ankle and moved slowly.

Mu Xiyue walked to the lake again and walked back along the lake with Xiaotao.

The maid followed behind looking for an opportunity, but she didn't expect that after only two steps, she felt a strange wind around her, and then she heard a splash and fell into the lake.

Xiao Tao heard a noise behind her and saw someone falling into the lake. She was about to shout a few times that someone had fallen into the water, but she saw a figure rushing out from the rockery and diving into the water.
