Xiao Yue'er finally let out a deep breath and asked her mistress in a low voice, "Why did she come here? She looks really ugly, and she didn't seem to have anyone with her."
"Those who act suspiciously are definitely up to no good!"
Why did you come here?
She certainly had her reasons for coming.
Wei Wei looked up and saw the gate of the Jiang residence opening right across from the Meng residence.
A very effeminate middle-aged man's face was revealed from within.
After she learned that "Third Master" was a prince, she finally understood why the man in front of her had a pale face, no beard, and an effeminate appearance.
It turned out he was a dead eunuch.
His masters left in a hurry, but he was left behind.
What kind of shady dealings are they up to behind the scenes?
Zhou Quan also saw Wei Wei.
This is the culprit who had a conflict with Princess Naga and caused her to be unable to wake up!
She's really tough.
He tried several times to teach her a lesson, but all his attempts failed.
If his men hadn't secretly investigated her several times and found nothing amiss, he might have actually thought this woman knew something.
He thought of the current situation of the Meng family, and then of the missing Meng Zhixuan, and the chill in his eyes intensified.
Wei Wei looked at him with obvious impatience. When she saw him looking at her, she rolled her eyes and turned around and entered the Meng family's gate with great impatience.
Zhou Quan's face grew even uglier after being rolled his eyes and looked down upon.
What an ill-mannered wretch!
What woman in the capital would behave so rudely?
Although he was very angry, this interruption reduced his suspicions about her considerably.
How could such a naive thing know anything?
It seems like she's just incredibly lucky!
He exhaled a breath of stale air, clutched his chest, and strode into the Jiang residence.
There were hardly any people in the Jiang residence.
All the maids and servants who had been specially hired to take care of Jiang Changhe left because of her departure.
All that remained were his personal guards.
Now that they are all dead, the Jiang residence is so empty it's as if no one lives there.
Su Shou Tang!
Zhou Quan sat in the middle of the hall, his eyes filled with murderous intent.
This martial arts sect that's always opposing them is a persistent nuisance! They're utterly despicable!
His men were clearly going to kill that stubborn Yao Zidian, but they ruined his plan. It's truly hateful!
His eyes were bloodshot, but deep within them lay a fear that no one could tell.
That useless Prefect Liu only asked him to stuff that adulterous couple from the countryside into the Meng residence, but he caused such a huge mess, making Yao Zidian rush over like a dog smelling fish.
If Prefect Liu really gets into trouble during this period and is dismissed by Yao Zidian.
The Third Prince's plan was truly ruined by half.
Although this matter has not yet reached the capital, it should be soon.
I wonder how angry the Third Prince will be when he finds out?
He's scared!
He was afraid that if he found out the source of everything and that he was involved, he would be torn apart alive!
How could he accept this?
He was determined to find an opportunity to kill Yao Zidian!
——
The night was deep and dark.
Leng Pusheng left the Meng residence without making a sound and went straight to the residence of Prefect Liu's mistress.
His arrival was perfectly timed; the mistress was somewhere having fun and had probably just returned, as she hadn't gone to sleep yet.
He heard her call for the old woman to fetch water, and then he went into the bathroom to wash up.
Taking advantage of this moment, Leng Pusheng quietly sneaked into her dormitory room.
It looks unremarkable from the outside, but the things piled up inside are quite luxurious.
Perhaps it's in their nature, but women from that kind of place all love to dress up.
The dressing case was filled with jewelry and ornaments, and the wardrobe was filled with all kinds of dresses.
Leng Pusheng glanced around casually, then found a cloth, spread it out, and swept all the gold and silver jewelry he could see into it.
Then he deliberately rummaged through the drawers and cabinets, finally tied the towel in a tight knot, and disappeared again from where he came in.
He didn't go far; after turning a corner, he returned to the roof of the mistress's house and leisurely enjoyed the cold wind for a while.
Not long after, they heard footsteps coming this way, followed by the incredulous exclamation of the concubine.
The sound crackled and penetrated people's ears.
"I need to report this to the authorities! I need to see the magistrate!"
"My gold hairpin! My jade bracelet! My pearl! My agate!"
She cried out in anguish, insisting that the old woman beside her summon Prefect Liu right now!
Leng Pusheng noticed that after the old woman beside him hurriedly left the house, the person who had just broken down and screamed immediately fell silent.
The dormitory became quiet, which made him frown.
I just observed that the mistress doesn't seem to have any martial arts skills.
So he chose a tile in a good position and gently lifted it off.
We'll see what she's doing.
Through the crack, he saw the mistress sitting in front of her dressing table, staring blankly at the empty drawers with a look of surprise and uncertainty.
If she was anxious and angry, she was even more filled with unease.
After waiting for an unknown amount of time, hurried footsteps could be heard again outside the courtyard.
Prefect Liu arrived, panting heavily.
"My darling, what's wrong?"
He asked with a pained expression.
Only then did the mistress look up at him with a wronged expression: "Master! All the good things you gave me have been stolen by thieves!"
Prefect Liu looked shocked: "What kind of thief has such audacity? Doesn't he know you're one of my men?"
Upon hearing this, the mistress burst into tears: "Who knows what that thief was thinking... I don't care, I don't care, you must quickly take men and catch that thief! I want all those things back in my hands!"
Prefect Liu immediately hugged her, his belly protruding, and coaxed her, "I know, I know."
"Don't worry, I guarantee I'll find all those good things for you within three days!"
The concubine's daughter stopped crying and started laughing when she heard this.
Her gaze fell on the old woman standing in the corner, and her face darkened: "You can leave now. I need to talk to the adults."
The old woman dared not object and immediately and cautiously withdrew through the door.
The door closed, and the mistress's face darkened completely: "Find that thief and kill him immediately!"
Prefect Liu reached out his fat fingers and pinched her cheek: "I'll do whatever you say, my dear aunt."
Seeing his frivolous demeanor, the concubine bit her lip and said, "Does Master think I'm joking with you?"
She spoke in a low, anxious voice, "That thing... is gone!"
Leng Pusheng's ears perked up.
What is that thing?
He didn't say it aloud, but Prefect Liu seemed to already know what she was talking about, and his expression suddenly changed.
