Chapter 16 The Treasure Given by Grandpa



When the two sisters and the little white tiger returned to Fengqiyuan, Yuan Nanan noticed something strange.

The yard seemed unusually quiet, and no one knew where the maids and servants had gone.

They tiptoed back through the window, but there was something extra on the couch. When they pushed it, the thing fell to the ground with a "crackling" sound.

It's a game of chess.

When the two sisters looked up, they saw their mother holding the black chess piece and looking into their eyes.

[Oh my! I got caught!] Yuan Zhizhi stared at her mother, not looking like she had done anything wrong.

Xiaobai let out a "woof" and shrank to the same size as Yuan Zhizhi.

Yuan Nan'an walked to his mother with his head down, first placed his younger sister carefully on the couch, and then stood in front of Yuan Zhao.

[Mom, I was wrong.] She gestured, [I just wanted to take my sister out to play.]

Yuan Zhizhi is only a little over a month old. Even though she was led astray by her younger sister's thoughts, as the older sister, she should take responsibility for the mistake.

When Yuan Zhao first discovered that his child was missing, he was extremely anxious.

This was not the first time she had experienced something like this, and with so many things happening recently, she was really panicked.

I was afraid that I would lose the child I had finally saved.

Fortunately, Biyun searched everywhere in the mansion and found out that the two children had gone all the way to the warehouse.

Only then did she calm down.

Seeing her second daughter looking dejected and her youngest daughter dancing with joy, she couldn't get angry at Nan'an.

He took a deep breath before asking, "What did you do?"

Yuan Nan'an thought about how they had just looted the warehouse and didn't know how to tell his mother.

But Yuan Zhizhi couldn't help it any longer:

[Mother, mother! Sister Wo and Sister Goose helped you steal all your things! ]

When Yuan Nan'an heard his sister's thoughts, his expression changed as he looked at Yuan Zhao.

Sure enough, my mother could hear it too.

Yuan Zhao also realized that her second daughter might be able to hear Zhizhi's thoughts. She looked at Yuan Nan'an and asked:

"Where did all the stuff in the warehouse go?"

[Mom, mom, Zhizhi has put all the things into my little bracelet! This little bracelet is a treasure my grandfather gave me. It can hold so many things! If you want it, just give it back to me!]

[Zhizhi doesn't want all her mother's things to be taken away by the bad guys! Zhizhi let them steal them all!]

Only then did Yuan Zhao notice the silver bracelet on Yuan Zhizhi's left wrist.

This silver bracelet is simple in style and looks ordinary.

She saw it two days ago and thought it was given to her by the old lady at Songyan Hall.

But now I hear Zhizhi say that it is “a treasure given by grandpa”?

Who is the old man?

According to Zhizhi, all the things in the warehouse were put into her bracelet.

After hearing these words, Yuan Zhao once again looked deeply at his little daughter who was still in the baby's arms.

What happened to Zhizhi? Why does Zhizhi know so much and why can people hear her inner voice?

She took another look at the little white tiger beside her and the silver bracelet on her wrist.

These two items are not ordinary things, they were both found on that snowy night.

Yuan Zhao had a vague feeling that perhaps it was God's will that allowed Zhizhi to help him.

Thinking of this, she took a long breath and called Yuan Nan'an forward:

"Nannan, you can hear your sister's voice, right?"

Yuan Nan'an nodded, looking at her sister with a complicated expression, but she quickly gestured: [Mother, my sister is not a monster, she is a fairy.]

Yuan Zhao smiled and hugged her in her arms: "Mother knows that you and your sister are both my treasures."

But she still told Nan An carefully: "You must not let anyone know about my sister's affairs! Otherwise, my sister's life may be in danger, understand?"

【Mother, I understand.】

She wants to help Zhizhi keep these secrets, make herself stronger and prevent Zhizhi from getting hurt!

Yuan Zhao originally wanted to deal with the things in the warehouse later.

Those things were indeed hers, and over the years they had been sucked clean by the Wei family like blood-sucking mosquitoes.

Zhizhi and Nan'an did her a favor tonight.

It was already late at night, and Yuan Zhao called Gan Tang and Bi Yun:

"Isn't Wei Shaoqing returning home tonight?"

Gan Tang shook his head.

Yuan Zhao remained calm and naturally would not come back.

He was immersed in the gentle land, which also made it convenient for her to do something.

After giving some instructions, Gan Tang and Bi Yun each took their orders and left.

With his two daughters fast asleep beside him, Yuan Zhao looked out the window at the dark night outside.

She covered her eyes with her hands, and took them away for a moment, her eyes becoming clear.

She must not lose this battle!

On the second day, the entire Yangzhou city was in an uproar from early in the morning.

The streets were full of soldiers searching, all kinds of news were spreading everywhere, and the vendors were discussing:

"I heard that the home of Prefect Wei was robbed last night, and all the treasures in the treasury were stolen!"

"Oh my God, how many treasures are there? And they were stolen just like that?"

"I heard that the wife of the prefect, the princess, had a tantrum. Late at night, she had her men wake up the county magistrate, Lord Zhao, with the princess's order, saying that if he couldn't find the person, she would hold the entire government office accountable!"

"This...why is it the princess who is here? Where is the prefect?"

"How should I know that?"

"Has the thing been found? Has the thief been caught?"

"Hey! Don't tell me, I heard they found him in Xingyu Alley in the west of the city! The eldest son of that family is the genius Wei Tianci who passed the exam with flying colors last year!"

"Hey, hey, have you heard? Last night, when the soldiers were raiding, the owner of that house was performing a live sex show! Afterwards, the man never showed up. It was the hostess who had to deal with the soldiers..."

"Is it so strange? I'm afraid they're stealing people and not daring to come out, right?"

"Hey, who says it's not true? Xingyu Alley is packed right now! Box after box of treasures are being carried out, and even the boxes have the tribute stamped on them, indicating they were sent by the princess. There's no denying it!"

"And this is a genius? And he even dared to steal the princess's things. How audacious!"

Yuan Zhao woke up early in the morning and sat quietly at the table, waiting for Biyun's reply.

Around noon, Biyun came back.

"Your Highness, Lord Zhao has brought his men to Xingyu Alley! They are waiting for you in the main hall."

Seeing that Biyun, who was usually stern, now had a very happy expression on her face, Yuan Zhao knew that he had done a good job last night.

She stood up, having already changed her clothes, put on her cloak and went to the main hall.

Halfway through the journey, Biyun had already told her in detail what happened last night, and then she met Gan Tang.

"Your Highness, the Prince Consort has returned and is now in the main hall."

Yuan Zhao nodded slightly, his expression unchanged, and led the two of them to the main hall.

When the master and servants stepped into the main hall, they heard Wei Shaoqing's angry voice:

"Why didn't you report the search in advance?! Who told you to do this?"
