"Madam Wei, were you looking for something with Miss Li and Young Madam Xie just now? Could it be that one of you took that thing?" The Ninth Princess was both uneasy and angry at the thought of being detained in the Grand Princess's mansion. Thinking of Li Zhiwei, who had just been asked to leave, Chang Wenying wished she could pin all the blame on her.

"This humble woman does not know what the Ninth Princess Consort means by these words. If the Ninth Princess Consort has any questions, she should ask the Grand Princess." Lin Ziyi was not afraid of the Ninth Princess Consort.

“Young Madam Wei, everyone is being held here because of you. You should go and tell the Grand Princess that you took that thing, and it has nothing to do with us!” Chang Wenying looked at Lin Ziyi with arrogance and ordered.

"Excuse me, Ninth Princess Consort, I was wondering if you took this thing? Otherwise, why were you in such a hurry to leave?" Lin Ziyi was never one to back down easily. Even if the person in front of her was the Ninth Princess Consort, so what? Her father-in-law was still Grand Tutor Wei.

She's far more powerful than this powerless princess.

Besides, why should she admit to something she didn't do?

“This princess is not like you people, so easily swayed. It’s just a bracelet; you see it and want it because it looks nice.” Chang Wenying’s voice became a little sharper upon hearing this.

Chang Wenying thought that of all the things the Grand Princess had brought today, the most beautiful one in her eyes was the emerald green bracelet on the Grand Princess's wrist.

She even secretly wondered how beautiful it would be if she wore it on her own wrist.

"Ninth Princess Consort, how do you know that the Grand Princess lost her bracelet? The Grand Princess is a person, not an object. How could someone steal the bracelet she wears on her wrist?" Lin Ziyi asked the Ninth Princess with sarcasm.

"It couldn't possibly be a bracelet, could it? Every item the Grand Princess brought today is a masterpiece. A bracelet is something you wear on your wrist; how could the Grand Princess allow someone to steal it right in front of her?"

"I think it might be the golden hairpin in the Grand Princess's hair."

"No, no, it should be the jade pendant on the Grand Princess's waist."

Everyone is speculating about what the Grand Princess has lost, so they can search for it. Otherwise, if they don't find it, won't they have to stay locked up here forever?

Thinking of this, everyone sprang into action to help the Grand Princess find her lost jewelry.

Only Lin Ziyi and a few other ladies who knew the truth remained unmoved.

Qu wanted to go along, but Lin Ziyi grabbed her arm.

"So many people are searching, what difference will it make if we two do it? Let's sit down and rest for a while." Lin Ziyi felt that with such a big problem as the child being lost, it was probably impossible to find the child in a short time.

"Isn't it inappropriate for us to sit here?" Mrs. Qu frowned, looking at her friend's expression, and guessed that the lost item probably wasn't jewelry.

After all, who is the Grand Princess? To steal her things, one would have to get close to her.

Among the ladies and young women in this mansion, probably none of them are qualified to get close to the Grand Princess.

However, the Grand Princess would say that she lost something very valuable to her.

What could this be?

Xu Heming returned to the Prince An's Mansion and hurried to the Ci'an Hall. When he saw that there was a baby lying on the old princess's bed, he was shocked!

Where did this child come from?

"Mother, you called for me?" Xu Heming's eyes never left the child on the bed.

I had a bad feeling.

Just as Xu Heming was about to ask something else, a servant came to report that Marquis Yongning and Master Xie had arrived.

Xu Heming was puzzled. Why did his mother invite these two people over?

Only then did Xu Heming notice that there were three little cubs beside him.

"Xu Qingshi, what trouble have you gotten into now?" Xu Heming asked, glaring at his troublesome son.

“Father, I didn’t cause any trouble. It’s you who should think about what you’ve done!” Xu Qingshi retorted with a dissatisfied look.

What did I do?

Xu Heming looked bewildered.
