"Miss, something happened outside just now. Fortunately, guards Lingsu and Muying were here, and the thief who intended to break in has been captured." Xichun whispered softly.
"Miss, do you need to report this matter to the Marquis and his wife immediately? Ling Su and Mu Ying are waiting in the yard for your order." Yue Zhu asked in a low voice.
Chen Yao got off the bed, raised her hand slightly, and asked Xichun to put her coat on. She asked calmly, "Where is that person now? Has he honestly confessed his intention to break into the Marquis' Mansion tonight?"
After helping her tidy up her clothes, Xichun immediately replied, "The man is in the yard right now, but he fainted when he was caught and hasn't regained consciousness yet. Ling Su and Mu Ying haven't been able to interrogate him."
Chen Yao stood there thinking for a moment without saying anything.
In this situation, Qi Yunxiao was obviously in the wrong, so she was certain that he would never take the initiative to reveal his identity as a prince, but would find other ways to escape.
So, naturally, she would play dumb too.
Then, all her reactions from now on must be consistent with the logic of treating him as just a thief who broke in.
But at the same time, considering his status as a prince, she naturally had to be careful in her approach.
"Miss?"
"Should Ling Su and Mu Ying send the person to the Marquis?" Yue Zhu asked again.
Chen Yao pursed her lips and said, "No, just stay in my yard first. When the person wakes up, I will interrogate him personally."
Xichun and Yuezhu were both stunned, "Miss?"
Chen Yao raised her eyebrows. "Why? My courtyard is usually well-protected. This is the first time someone has broken in. Can't I even interrogate them personally?"
Xichun and Yuezhu suddenly seemed to want to say something but stopped themselves, their faces full of confusion and a look of wanting to dissuade.
As we were talking here, there was a sudden noise outside.
"Miss, there is a new discovery here." It was Ling Su's voice.
Chen Yao hummed, and said to Xichun and Yuezhu, "Come with me to take a look."
Xichun opened his lips and was about to say something, but swallowed the words back. Forget it, it has come to this point, who cares whether it is against the rules or not.
......
In the woodshed, under the dim oil lamp.
Chen Yao looked at the man in black who was tied up and thrown on the ground with some curiosity, but when she saw the dark bloodstains on his body, she frowned.
At this time, Ling Su had already squatted on one knee, pointing a finger at the unknown pattern of gold thread on Qi Yunxiao's clothes, and said to Chen Yao: "Miss, look at the clothes this man is wearing. He must be rich or noble. Moreover, this pattern is not common, and it is all woven with gold thread."
Mu Ying followed and picked up the jade pendant tied around Qi Yunxiao's waist, showing it to Chen Yao: "Miss, please look at this jade pendant. The texture is transparent and flawless. The jade used is extremely precious. The Vermillion Bird carved on it is also lifelike. It is definitely an ordinary piece."
Ling Su and Mu Ying's meaning was already very clear, "Miss, this person's identity must be extraordinary."
Of course Chen Yao knew, but she still pretended to be thinking seriously. "Your analysis is very reasonable. I think his injuries are serious and he is unconscious. So, let's heal him first and then we can talk about everything after he wakes up."
Ling Su stood up and said, "Yes, I'll do it right away."
Mu Ying did not forget to ask: "Miss, what about the master..."
Chen Yao didn't hesitate: "Keep it a secret."
Twilight: "Okay, I understand."
Chen Yao hummed, and after looking around the simple environment in the woodshed, she ordered, "Find him a new place to recuperate. There's not even a bed to lie on here."
