Lan Linxue started circling on the ground, determined to get this done tonight.

On the fifth lap, Lan Linxue suddenly stopped and clapped her hands: "How could you be so stupid? Why did you have to make this happen? We only needed to make Hu Tianyong believe it!"

Lan Linxue excitedly walked up to Shuanghua and whispered, "Here's what we'll do: we'll find someone to steal something from Miss Jiang's place. Preferably something private. Then we'll throw it right under Hu Tianyong's nose. When the Jiang family comes and finds something missing, word will definitely spread. Hmph, Old Man Jiang certainly won't say what's missing. Hu Tianyong will know in his heart that he definitely can't let such a young lady marry Lan Xiuyuan. So, he'll definitely go and find someone else immediately."

“This isn’t a very urgent matter, so he definitely won’t change it tonight! If it’s by tomorrow morning, it will be too late to change it!” Shuanghua thought Lan Linxue’s idea was quite far-fetched.

"What's so difficult about that! I'll go find the old man now and have Quan Jing tip Hu Tianyong off, just saying that the Emperor wants to see the list of imperial concubines tomorrow morning!"

Shuanghua lowered her eyes and thought for a moment. Although she felt that the idea was completely far-fetched, upon closer examination, she realized that it was actually not that bad.

Scratching her head, Shuanghua looked at Lan Linxue and asked in a low voice, "What do you think is the most suitable thing to steal?"

"Dudou!" Lan Linxue jumped out without thinking.

"I'm not going! You go yourself!"

Shuanghua glared, turned around, and sat down to the side, determined that she would rather die than do this.

Lan Linxue was taken aback, then immediately followed Shuanghua over, tilting her head and asking, "Why not?"

Shuanghua glared at Lan Linxue with annoyance: "Those who steal bellybands are perverts? I've never done anything so shameless! If you want to go, go yourself! Let me tell you, Lan Linxue, you're going too far, you'll stop at nothing!"

After saying that, Shuanghua spat at Lan Linxue in disgust.

Lan Linxue glanced at Shuanghua and said dangerously, "I told you to steal the undergarment, not to have any impure thoughts! We're only doing this because of the circumstances! Do you have any other filthy thoughts in your mind besides stealing the undergarment?"

Shuanghua immediately turned her head: "Why even think about it? This whole thing is already so despicable! Let me tell you, you're dreaming if you think you can find someone in our house to do this for you. Nobody will do it for you, so give up on that idea!"

Lan Linxue blinked: "Are you sure no one's going?"

"Nobody's going!"

Frost Flower spoke with absolute certainty.

Lan Linxue straightened up, scratched her head in confusion, and thought about it, and it seemed that no one really went!

"Then what else can we steal to symbolize that it belongs to the eldest daughter of the Xu family, so that Old Man Hu can recognize it at a glance? The most important thing is that it must be something very private and worn close to the body. Otherwise, it won't work!"

Lan Linxue felt that women's things were really troublesome.

Shuanghua thought for a moment, then suddenly said, "I remember when the incident happened yesterday, the eldest daughter of the Jiang family was wearing a collar around her neck. It was something she had worn since she was a child!"

Lan Linxue immediately shook her head: "Although this thing is worn close to the body, it's definitely not private enough, much less ambiguous! At most, Old Man Hu just thinks the guards at the Xu residence aren't very good!"

Shuanghua glared at Lan Linxue, her face full of contempt: "So you've got your eye on someone's undergarment and you just have to steal it? Let me tell you, don't even think about it!"

Lan Linxue looked at Shuanghua and couldn't deny that he was right. All he wanted to steal was the undergarment; nothing else was appropriate.

Just then, someone outside reported that Qin Kou'er had sent Hai Tian and Qu Ling'er.

Lan Linxue didn't understand why Qin Kou'er had sent someone over at this time. She thought something had happened, so she came out on her own before anyone could call her in.

Hai Tian saw Lan Linxue and immediately bowed with a smile, but Qu Ling'er snorted and raised her head, pretending not to see her.

"Why are you here? Did something happen to Ke'er?"

Lan Linxue looked anxious.

Hai Tian quickly shook his head with a smile: "No! It's because the Pavilion Master was worried that the Prince would be short-handed, so he sent me and Ling'er to help out!"

Upon hearing this, Lan Linxue immediately felt relieved, then looked at the two of them and smiled. This time, his problem was solved.

She quickly invited the two people into the house, and Lan Linxue hopefully recounted what had just happened. Then she stared at Qu Ling'er, wanting her to nod and help.

Qu Ling'er stared at Lan Linxue and said irritably, "Why are you looking at me like that? I won't do such a despicable thing as stealing women's underwear! Humph, too shameful!"

Upon hearing this, Shuanghua immediately found her companion and nodded vigorously to Qu Ling'er.

"Besides! Why would you use me when you have thieves' ancestors to serve you?"

"Who is the ancestor of thieves?"

Lan Linxue looked around, puzzled.

Qu Ling'er curled her lip and pointed at Hai Tian: "Brother Hai is a bandit at sea, and a master thief on land!"

When Hai Tian heard Qu Ling'er say that, he immediately glared at her, both amused and exasperated: "Ling'er, is that how you describe people?"

Qu Ling'er pouted and muttered softly, "That's true!"

Lan Linxue was surprised that Hai Tian had this ability, and she looked at Hai Tian with hope.

Hai Tian sighed helplessly, then said to Lan Linxue, "Alright, since Your Highness has this need, I'll go! Anyway, I'm practically the ancestor of all thieves, and I don't have a good reputation, so even if I steal a bellyband or something, it's nothing unusual!"
