Capital city.

"These are the lists of all the female members who will be attending the flower show this time." Luo Yan rode back to the capital at full speed, and it was already late at night.

She was holding a large stack of portraits and lists and wanted to rush into the bedroom, but was stopped by Lin Feng: "Ayan, leave it to me! I just went to bed because I'm not feeling well."

"Has the prince's old illness relapsed?" Luo Yan was worried, looking anxiously in the direction of the bedroom.

Lin Feng nodded worriedly: "Yeah."

"I want to see the prince." Luo Yan said and wanted to rush in, Lin Feng couldn't stop her.

Just when Luo Yan pushed the door halfway open...

"Ahem..." Mulansheng's weak voice came from inside, very coldly: "Get out."

Luo Yan was so scared that she immediately retracted her legs, tears in her eyes, and she threw the information in her hand to Lin Feng and ran away.

Lin Feng shook his head helplessly before going into bed.

How could he not know Luo Yan's feelings for the prince?

But they are the prince's personal guards, and it would be an overstep for them to have such rash thoughts.

At this moment, he didn't think about comforting her.

Mulansheng leaned on the bed, his face a little pale, but his temperament was still as noble as ever. His sparkling eyes were less sharp than usual but more aloof and cold.

Chang Fang was taking care of him, holding a bowl of Chinese medicine in his hand, which was actually just a simple tonic.

Lin Feng respectfully handed over the scroll and information in his hand and said, "These are all the information about the Haicheng Flower Fair. It contains portraits and lists of all the women participating in the flower fair, as well as the backgrounds and relationships of the major families."

Mulansheng took it and glanced through it one by one. Then he seemed tired and said, "You can leave now!"

Lin Feng wanted to say something but stopped himself, and finally could only retreat respectfully.

After Lin Feng left, Mulansheng got up from the bed.

He put on his undershirt, walked slowly to the desk and sat down, then began to carefully look through the portraits one by one.

The beauty in the painting was graceful and charming, but he glanced at her quickly without lingering for long.

Upon seeing this, Chang Fang immediately put down the Chinese medicine in his hand, flipped through a stack of portraits, and said disappointedly, "Sister Yun is not there."

Mulansheng paused and sighed: "How do you know..."

"Chang Fang is not stupid. Although you are concerned about whether the various forces in Haicheng are involved with the Second Prince, there is no need to look at the portraits of these women. You must still be looking for Sister Yun, right..." Chang Fang's eyes were warm. "But Chang Fang knows that Sister Yun is dead and can't come back."

He had already accepted this fact the day he reached the cliff. "Your Highness, why don't you just give up? Chang Fang doesn't want to see you like this."

Blank persistence is useless and sad.

Mulansheng closed all the portraits. The shadow of the candlelight flickered before his eyes, and the thoughts in his eyes seemed to flicker. "I want to go to the flower show in Haicheng in person."

early morning.

Yun Miao was awakened by the sound of the yamen runners searching.

Last night she had wanted to leave the Luo family directly, but the yard was surrounded by a circle of servants, who said they were afraid she would run away.

Since they wanted to watch the show, she could only reluctantly continue to watch the show.

At this moment, the bedroom door was slammed hard, and Luo Qing'er's arrogant voice came from outside: "Yun Miao, open the door quickly."

Yun Miao slowly put on her clothes and opened the door. She saw Luo Qing'er standing in front of her with a group of yamen runners. She directed the runners behind her: "Search her room first."

The yamen runners rushed in and pushed Yun Miao aside.

Yun Miao looked at Luo Qing'er coldly: "What does Fifth Miss mean by this?"

"Well, if we have to search your room first, of course. I know you must have pawned those things, but there must be something left, right? Well, maybe the thief last night was in cahoots with you."

Hearing this, Yun Miao sneered, "Miss Qing'er, don't talk nonsense. You'll be slapped in the face when the search results come out."

"Hmph, just wait!" Luo Qing'er didn't believe that Yun Miao didn't hide something in the room.

She must have stolen all that huge amount of jewellery.

Then the yamen runners came out after rummaging around twice and shook their heads: "Fifth Miss, there's nothing."

Not to mention jewelry or hairpins, there wasn't even a single ingot of silver. The whole room was completely empty.

Luo Qing'er's eyes widened: "How is that possible?"

However, at this moment, the housekeeper came running over and said breathlessly: "Fifth Miss, the thief... the thief has been caught! The old lady asked us to go over."

He looked flustered and was obviously still in shock.

Hearing this, Luo Qing'er no longer cared about Yun Miao and said in disbelief, "Did he catch him?"

Obviously, because it involved a wealthy family like the Luo Mansion, the government took it very seriously and sent a lot of people.

Seeing this, Yun Miao raised her eyebrows slightly. It’s not bad to start acting right after getting up.

When the two of them followed the housekeeper to the scene, Luo Qing'er discovered that several servants from her own courtyard were also kneeling there, including her personal maid, Lotus. Besides her courtyard, several servants from the courtyards of Luo Meng'er, Luo Qing'er, Luo Xue'er, and Luo Ning'er were also kneeling on the ground, trembling.

The other four young ladies also stood aside with unhappy expressions.

Luo Qing'er immediately ran over and asked, "What are you doing?"

The leader was Old Lady Luo, and Mrs. Jiang, Mrs. Wang and others were also present.

Their faces didn't look much better.

"Hmph, ask your subordinates what they have done! These things were found in the rooms of your five servants and maids, and some were even buried in your walls and yards. Is this how you discipline your servants on weekdays?" Old Mrs. Luo was angry.

This is so shameful.

I thought they were outsiders, but who knew they were people from the mansion and there were quite a few of them.

If this gets out in the future, won’t the Luo family become a laughing stock?

They said the Luo family's rules were lax? Even servants could commit crimes against their superiors?

"It's unfair, old lady. We did see those pearl hairpins and treasures when we were cleaning the yard early in the morning. We thought they were... dropped by a thief, so we took some out of greed. But I really didn't steal them!" Lotus said crying.

When Luo Qing'er heard this, she slapped her: "You slut, why didn't I report the things I hid in my yard? How dare you hide them?"

"Miss, I didn't have time to go back and tell you when the yamen runners came." Hehua was crying. She was indeed greedy. She took some things and hid them in her own residence. Because she was in a panic, she happened to meet the yamen runners who came to search the house. She was exposed in an instant and had no time to inform the young lady about the hidden things.

But the leading yamen runner said, "Your mansion lost so many items at once, and they were all found inside the mansion, so we can rule out the possibility of external thieves. If it was an external thief, these items would have all been pawned and resold."
