For some reason, Su Liluo subconsciously hid in the space.
Perhaps he felt he didn't want to be judged by them alone, or perhaps he didn't want the city defense map he had worked so hard to steal to be discovered by them.
After all, if Liu Qinyue dragged her to the Liu family, they would definitely force her to hand it over.
It's not time to break ties with them yet; she can't afford to fall out with them at this crucial moment.
Since only Liu Qinyue had disappeared from his sight, he decided to deny it to the death.
Fortunately, this space allows you to see the outside environment from the inside, and it can also move as people move.
So, Su Liluo used the spatial ability to leave the study and went to a secluded pavilion. There, she quietly took out a paintbrush and paper and copied the city defense map exactly.
Liu Qinyue stood in the study for a long time, her eyes red from rubbing them. She still couldn't understand why Su Liluo had just disappeared like that.
"Second Miss, what are you doing here?"
Just then, the servant guarding the study woke up and looked at Liu Qinyue with a puzzled expression.
"Were you just knocked unconscious by the Crown Princess? Did you see her barge in?"
Upon hearing this, Liu Qinyue quickly went to ask the servant for confirmation, wanting to prove that she was not hallucinating.
But now he looked blank, rubbing his forehead. "No, no one hit me. I just felt a little sleepy and took a nap. When I opened my eyes, I saw you alone, Miss."
The incense Su Liluo used also had the effect of confusing memories; those who were drugged thought they were just dozing off.
That's why the two servants didn't remember.
"Impossible! The Crown Princess clearly came in just now, and he stole my uncle's things!"
Liu Qinyue shouted loudly.
She couldn't have been mistaken; it was indeed the Crown Princess just now. But why did she disappear?
The more she thought about it, the more frightened she became. Could she be a demon?
No, she had to tell her cousin and uncle right away.
With that thought in mind, she quickly went to find Xiao Churen.
Upon hearing the news, Xiao Churen and the others rushed back from the military camp. Xiao Ye also overheard what Liu Qinyue said.
He frowned slightly, feeling a little worried, and then followed them.
"Oh no! The thing I left here is indeed gone!"
The eldest master of the Liu family came into the study, turned over the things under the table, and said with a look of horror.
"See, I wasn't wrong, it really was the Crown Princess who stole it! Cousin, Uncle, you must go and get it back from the Crown Princess."
When Liu Qinyue learned that Master Liu had indeed lost something, she felt relieved, because this proved that she had not been hallucinating.
"Someone, go and invite the Crown Princess over!"
Xiao Churen gave the order in a deep voice.
Xiao Ye, standing to the side, had a solemn expression. Only when Su Liluo entered the study with a blank look on her face did he walk up to her side as if to protect her.
"What happened?"
Su Liluo strolled in leisurely, pretending to look bewildered.
"Your Highness, something went missing from my uncle's study. My cousin saw you come in and take it. What explanation do you have?"
Xiao Churen looked at Su Liluo with a serious expression, not missing a single expression on her face.
"Really? Miss Liu, how can you falsely accuse me like this? You say I stole it, do you have any evidence? Besides you, who else saw me come in?"
Su Liluo suddenly widened her eyes and looked at Liu Qinyue with an innocent expression.
"I'm not accusing you. I saw you come in with my own eyes. You knocked out the servant at the door and then came in through the main gate!"
Liu Qinyue said confidently.
"Really? Then call the servants in and ask them if they saw me come here."
"Liu San, Liu Si, have you seen the Crown Princess come in?"
No sooner had Su Liluo finished her explanation than Master Liu turned to the servant in his study and asked in a deep voice.
The servants exchanged glances, then lowered their heads.
"No, when we saw her, there was only the Second Miss in the study. She told us that the Crown Princess had come to steal something, but we didn't see the Crown Princess."
They dared not lie, but they knew that Liu Qinyue would be angry if they said so, but what could they do when it was the truth?
Sure enough, as soon as the servant finished speaking, Old Master Liu gave Liu Qinyue a strange look.
These two servants have been with him for over ten years, and they are both orphans. Outsiders would never ask them to lie to him. Since they both say so, it must be true.
"You didn't see her because she had already run away by the time you came in. Don't tell me you fainted for a moment along the way?"
Liu Qinyue didn't think she had done anything wrong, nor did she realize how disadvantageous the servant's arguments were to her, so she kept explaining.
But the servants' memories had long been blurred. Although they had been unconscious for at least a quarter of an hour, their memories were that they had only dozed off for less than a quarter of an hour.
"Miss Liu, they all only saw you in this study. Could it be that you stole the things, and then you're crying 'stop thief' and framing me?"
At this moment, Su Liluo approached Liu Qinyue and guessed.
"You're lying! You clearly stole it. It's on you. Do you dare let everyone search you?"
Liu Qinyue blushed as she retorted.
"Search the Crown Princess's body? You really have the nerve to do that! Who do you think you are?"
At this moment, Xiao Ye, who was standing to the side, shouted angrily.
Seeing this, Xiao Churen quickly stepped forward to smooth things over, saying, "Your Highness, please calm down. My cousin was just acting rashly. This city defense map is indeed very important to Youyun Prefecture. I hope you can understand."
"Understand? So you want to search my Crown Princess's body? Just because of this Miss Liu's insistence? This servant clearly saw her; if anyone should be searched, it should be her!"
"I am a member of the Liu family, how could I steal such a thing? Please, Your Highness, do not slander me!"
"You're allowed to slander the Crown Princess, but I'm not allowed to speak ill of you? If that's your attitude, I think cooperation is pointless!"
Xiao Ye snorted angrily, looking like he was about to leave.
Unexpectedly, at this moment, Su Liluo suddenly grabbed his sleeve and winked at her from an angle where no one else could see.
"You may search me, but you must first search Miss Liu's body to prove her innocence before you can send your maids to examine me! Furthermore, if you have wronged me, everyone in your Liu family must kneel for an hour and apologize to me!"
Su Liluo turned around and looked at the Liu family members with a cold smile.
this......
The leader, Master Liu, hesitated and exchanged a glance with Xiao Churen.
Before they could even speak, Liu Qinyue blurted out, "Fine! Search mine first!"
Anyway, she's not afraid. Once they find it on the Crown Princess, let's see how she explains it!
