YM778.TV Chapter 1002 - 1002: Domineering!
Wei Ting said to Su Xiaoxiao, “When Dad comes over later, you have to make it clear to him that arson is wrong!”
Su Xiaoxiao looked at him suspiciously. “Why don’t you tell him?”
Wei Ting coughed lightly and said seriously, “I… can’t do this.”
His father would beat him up.
Su Xiaoxiao gave him a sideways glance. “If his biological son doesn’t say it, should I tell him as his daughter-in-law?”
Wei Ting said, “To him, his son was picked up, and his daughter-in-law is biological. Just tell him.”
Su Xiaoxiao narrowed her eyes dangerously. “Is this the reason why you framed me just now?”
Wei Ting was speechless.
She couldn’t get over this.
Su Xiaoxiao said, “I want to eat spring chicken on East Street.” Wei Ting trembled. “That will take six hours!”
It was even harder to queue for that than the osmanthus chicken!
Seeing that Wei Xu was only ten steps away, Wei Ting gritted his teeth. “I’ll buy it for you!”
Su Xiaoxiao smiled and said to Wei Xu, “Dad.”
Wei Xu nodded in satisfaction and turned to look at Wei Ting with disdain.
The corners of Wei Ting’s mouth twitched.
Fine, he was picked up. He understood. His father didn’t have to hint at him with his eyes anymore.
Wei Ting gestured for Su Xiaoxiao to tell him quickly.
Su Xiaoxiao didn’t want to disobey her father-in-law, but she thought that his actions were too bold. It was better to make rules.
She cleared her throat and said seriously, “Dad, I want to discuss something with you. For tonight’s behavior, it’s best if we…” She was only halfway through her sentence.
Swoosh.
Wei Xu took out a string of imperial green jade beads.
The color and clarity of those beads were much better than what Madam Li had collected in her previous life. This string was worth at least a few thousand taels of silver.
Su Xiaoxiao swallowed in restraint and tried not to be bribed. “It’s better not to…”
Swoosh!
Wei Xu took out seven or eight more golden bracelets, all of them exquisite.
Su Xiaoxiao’s eyes widened.
Wei Xu had more than this.
He flew away and disappeared. He flew back with a huge bag on his back.
The moment she opened it, it was filled with priceless jewelry.
Su Xiaoxiao’s eyes lit up.
Therefore, not only did his father-in-law commit arson, but he also became a thief and caused trouble in the King of Southern Wilderness’ treasure vault.
No wonder those eunuchs said that there was theft in the storeroom…
When a war god designed to rob the treasure vault, who could defend against
Wei Ting held his forehead and gritted his teeth. “Dad…’
Wei Xu gave him a sideways glance. They were not for him!
Wei Xu placed them all in front of Su Xiaoxiao.
Su Xiaoxiao hugged the treasures and refused to let go.
His father-in-law was amazing!
Her father-in-law was awesome!
The King of the Southern Wilderness secretly controlled the Cheng family’s mineral vein and had embezzled countless minerals belonging to the Cheng family. It was only right for her to take back some of those things!
Her father-in-law had done the right thing!
He had to be praised!
Wei Ting was speechless.
The news that many things had suddenly happened in the palace naturally reached Chengde Hall.
It was not the time for the weather to be dry. Why was there suddenly trouble everywhere?
It was said that even his private stash had been burned.
The King of the Southern Wilderness had an ugly expression.
Yin Xiaodie had already boiled the medicine. She presented the medicine bowl to the King of the Southern Wilderness and stopped the servant who came to report. She asked, “Is the Queen’s bedroom safe from the fire?”
The eunuch shook his head. “There’s no fire in the Queen’s bedroom.”
In fact, the harem was almost fine. The concubines, the little princes, and the little princesses were all safe.
Yin Xiaodie heaved a sigh of relief. “That’s good. Ye Sui was called over by the Little Princess to perform a trick just now. I’m worried that the Little Princess will be frightened.”
The first two sentences were true worry, but the last sentence was to remedy the situation. Otherwise, wouldn’t it be a little too much for her to only care about her disciple and not the royal family?
However, when the King of the Southern Wilderness heard her words, his expression darkened.
The Little Princess had always slept early and had long rested at this hour. Why would she ask a disciple of the Holy Maiden Temple to perform a trick?
Xie Jinnian glanced at the King of the Southern Wilderness and asked tacitly, “Saintess Yin, who called Ye Sui over?”
Yin Xiaodie thought momentarily and said, “The palace maid beside the little princess seems to be called… Lingzhi?”
Xie Jinnian received the order from the King of the Southern Wilderness to look for “Ye Sui”.
He found Su Xiaoxiao looking around the Imperial Garden.
“Miss Ye Sui,” Xie Jinnian greeted.
Su Xiaoxiao revealed a pleasantly surprised expression. “Eunuch Jin!” “Are you alright?” Xie Jinnian asked gently.
Su Xiaoxiao said with a frightened expression, “I’m fine. The Little Princess asked me to perform a magic trick for her just now, but when I walked nearby, the Imperial Garden was on fire. Her palace maid went to put out the fire. I didn’t dare to walk around alone, as I was afraid that she wouldn’t be able to find me when she came back.”
There was no complaint in Su Xiaoxiao’s words, nor did she expose the palace maid for abandoning her.
Some truths did not need to be told by her. Xie Jinnian would investigate them himself.
Xie Jinnian smiled calmly. “It’s probably inconvenient in the palace today. I’ll invite Miss Ye Sui into the palace another day to perform a magic trick for the Little Princess. I’ll send Miss Ye Sui out of the palace. Saintess Yin is waiting for you at the entrance of the palace.”
Su Xiaoxiao nodded in a daze. “Ah, okay.”
Many guards and palace servants were standing at the entrance of the palace and checking the people who left.
Even Yin Xiaodie was searched by a palace maid.
Xie Jinnian said warmly to Su Xiaoxiao, “The palace was robbed. I’m not suspecting the Saintess and Miss Ye Sui. It’s just a routine investigation. Miss Ye Sui, please forgive me.”
A highly regarded person had spoken so politely to a junior disciple of the Holy Maiden Temple. Su Xiaoxiao seemed to understand why Xie Jinnian could do well in the palace.
This guy was too good at interpersonal relationships.
“Eunuch Jin, you’re being too cordial,” Su Xiaoxiao replied politely and generously accepted the body search.
Throughout the entire process, Xie Jinnian had been observing her without blinking.
Su Xiaoxiao did not seem guilty at all.
Indeed, it would be strange if they found anything since they were all in the pharmacy.
Su Xiaoxiao and Yin Xiaodie left the palace in a carriage.
The carriage had already been secretly searched before this. There was nothing fishy.
Xie Jinnian retracted his gaze and returned to Chengde Hall.
The matter had already been investigated.
It started from the Imperial Garden.
The Third Prince first sent Lingzhi to lure Ye Sui over and dismissed the guards beside him. He asked them to guard the front and back entrances and not let anyone approach.
It was only when the fire burned down the pavilion that the two of them rushed over to check on the Third Prince.
At that time, the Third Prince had already had half of his hair scotched and his clothes were burned in many places, but they had all been extinguished.
His lower body was also injured.
No one knew how it happened.
It was said that an assassin had ambushed him, but the Third Prince was not dead.
If it was not a sneak attack, he seemed to have been ravaged.
In short, it was an unsolved case.
“What do you think?”
The King of the Southern Wilderness asked Xie Jinnian.
Xie Jinnian analyzed, “From the motive, Ye Sui is the most suspicious. She could have noted that the Third Prince asked Lingzhi to set a trap for her. To escape, she set fire everywhere and injured the Third Prince. However, from the timing of the crime, she couldn’t have done it. Before the incident, she had been with Lingzhi. When the two of them rushed to the vicinity of the Imperial Garden, the fire had already started, and the Third Prince was already injured.
“Unless she has an accomplice.”
“But from the entire incident, she didn’t have a chance at all, nor did she have time to inform her accomplices.”
The King of the Southern Wilderness said, “In that case, this Ye Sui is innocent. Who… instigated so much fire in the palace at night and stole so many treasures?”
The King of the Southern Wilderness was simply annoyed.
The instigator, Hero Wei, gallantly returned to Changliu Lane.
Wei Liulang had just put down his tools and was still panting.
Hero Wei raised his long legs and kicked the door down!
Wei Liulang hugged his head frantically.. “I just repaired the door!!
