Chapter 634 Throw Xiao Qingyuan out!
Ge Laofu.
In Liu Nanshi's courtyard, Xiao Qingyuan angrily questioned, "Liu Nanshi, did you secretly take the one million taels of silver that Magistrate Ye embezzled?"
Liu Nanshi's eyebrows shot up: "Xiao Qingyuan, what are you doing here in the middle of the night? What would I do with that million taels of silver? Besides, I have no idea where Magistrate Ye hid his silver!"
"You still dare to deny it? Who else could it be but you? Only the two of us were reborn, only the two of us knew that Magistrate Ye had embezzled one million taels of silver! You are the most talented woman in Dafeng, I don't believe you didn't guess in your past life that Magistrate Ye hid the silver in that abandoned house!"
Liu Nanshi was inexplicably blamed for this, and her face turned pale with anger: "Magistrate Ye's case has nothing to do with me. What am I supposed to do with the money I'm hiding? The Ministry of Justice and the Court of Judicial Review are in charge of solving cases. How could I, a woman, possibly care about these things?"
Xiao Qingyuan looked at her with an incredulous expression: "You don't even care about these things? Didn't you say in your past life that you were very good at solving cases? It turns out you lied to me about this too! You're not some top female genius at all, you're just a good-for-nothing! You're not even as good as me!"
Liu Nanshi was furious: "Xiao Qingyuan, you're the real idiot! You've been a complete idiot in both your lives! Didn't you hear what Gu Qianhan said? It's not just the two of us who have been reborn, but also your vicious concubine, Chu Yanluo! She's been reborn too!"
"Since you know where Magistrate Ye hid the embezzled silver, your concubine must know it too! Perhaps she's the one who took that million taels of silver!"
"Moreover, have you considered that perhaps it's not just the three of us who have been reborn? Maybe there's a fourth, a fifth, or even more! What if Magistrate Ye has also been reborn? He knew he would be investigated and his assets confiscated, so he transferred the silver in advance!"
Xiao Qingyuan almost instinctively retorted: "Impossible! It's impossible for so many people to be reborn. Do you think rebirth is some worthless little trick? If everyone could be reborn, wouldn't the world be in chaos!"
Liu Nanshi looked at him disdainfully, her tone revealing a sense of superiority and arrogance: "I told you you were a good-for-nothing, and I was right. Solving the case still depends on me. Either Magistrate Ye has been reborn and transferred the money, or Chu Yanluo has been reborn and stole the money. It's just the two of them. You can investigate them. Don't keep targeting me. I don't care about that money. I don't want it!"
Xiao Qingyuan sneered: "You look down on that silver? That's a million taels of silver! What are you pretending to be so high and mighty for? The news of the robbery at your Grand Secretary's residence has spread throughout the entire capital. All the valuables in your house have been looted. You are clearly in dire need of silver right now, yet you tell me you don't care?"
Liu Nanshi was so angry she almost fell over. In her previous life, Xiao Qingyuan was easy to fool and deceive, but after dying once, he had grown smarter and was no longer so easy to fool.
Unfortunately, he wasn't very bright, and his random analysis seemed logical but was actually complete nonsense!
He'd be better off without a brain!
“I said I didn’t take the money, and I mean it. I have no reason to lie to you about this! You should go find Chu Yanluo now; the money might be in her hands!”
"Hmph, how could Chu Yanluo possibly carry one million taels of silver by herself? And how could she hide it? Besides, in my previous life, I never even told her where Magistrate Ye's silver was hidden! So, you don't need to go to all this trouble to pin this on her! The only one capable of swallowing one million taels of silver is you, Liu Nanshi!"
Liu Nanshi was so angry that her hands were trembling: "You, you, you are utterly hopeless! Get out of our Grand Secretary's residence right now! Let me tell you, the Grand Secretary's residence has been burglarized frequently, and they are currently catching the thieves. If you don't leave, be careful that my father doesn't mistake you for a thief and arrest you, and send you to jail!"
Xiao Qingyuan scoffed at this: "Who are you trying to scare? Anyone in the world could be a thief, but I, Xiao Qingyuan, am impossible! Does Grand Secretary Liu dare to arrest me and put me in jail?"
"My Prince Ning's Mansion is far richer than your Grand Secretary's Mansion. Why would I, the dignified Prince Ning's heir, need to steal from your Grand Secretary's Mansion?"
"The Grand Secretary's mansion is dirt poor. I don't know which blind thief has come here to steal, and he's done it several times! He probably left empty-handed each time, so he's still coming back to steal!"
Liu Nanshi wanted to refute him, but she couldn't.
She couldn't very well tell Xiao Qingyuan that the Grand Secretary's family wasn't poor at all; on the contrary, they had plenty of money and used the best of everything. Her father was just low-key and didn't like to show off like other families!
She was so angry she couldn't speak, so she could only order her maid to throw him out: "Huayi, throw Xiao Qingyuan out! Make sure he falls flat on his face!"
Hua Yi stepped forward with a delicate expression: "Your Highness, this servant..."
"Painting style?!"
Xiao Qingyuan looked bewildered: "How did you get here? Shouldn't you be with Shen Wantang?"
Hua Yi was on the verge of tears: "Young Master, Miss Shen the Second disliked me for being stupid and sold me to Miss Liu the Eldest."
Xiao Qingyuan recalled his previous life when he loved Huayi the most. He taught her to write and read every day, but after teaching her for half a month, all she could write was her name. She didn't absorb anything else into her brain.
Even though he liked her a lot, he found it a bit boring, so he couldn't be bothered to teach her anymore.
He couldn't help but nod: "You are frighteningly stupid."
The painting froze, tears streaming down her face: "Your Highness..."
"However, no matter how stupid you are, Shen Wantang shouldn't have sold you out! I know her better than you do. She has a good temper. In my past life, I almost bullied her to death, and she always spoke up for me in front of my father and mother. What stupid thing did you do to make her sell you out?"
Hua Yi's tears fell even more rapidly: "This servant did not know. It seems that Miss Shen Er disliked this servant. She originally kicked this servant out of the Shen Mansion. Later, she saw that this servant had some use, so she asked this servant to return."
Xiao Qingyuan asked suspiciously, "You're so stupid, what use could you possibly be? Liu Nanshi, why did you buy her? She's a maid that Shen Wantang doesn't want anymore, and you want her? Do you like picking up trash that others don't want?"
Liu Nanshi's vision blurred, and she couldn't help but clutch her chest, which ached from anger at Xiao Qingyuan.
She now finally understood why Princess Ning had always been driven to the brink of unconsciousness by Xiao Qingyuan in her past life. She had initially thought it was because Princess Ning was in poor health, but now she realized that Xiao Qingyuan truly had the ability to anger the living to death and the dead to come back to life!
She glared at Huayi through gritted teeth: "If you keep pretending to be a green tea bitch and disgusting me, I'll make you regret it! Throw Xiao Qingyuan out and let him see if you're trash!"
