"That's right! I've never seen such a thief. You say he's cowardly! He's come here at least ten times. You say he's brave! He's only committing petty thefts. He's really a puzzling thief."
"Stealing like this doesn't seem satisfying, does it?"
A clear voice suddenly appeared, and everyone nodded instinctively. But then they thought, it didn't seem right! Who was the owner of this voice? They seemed to have heard it before, but it didn't seem familiar.
Everyone turned around, but this time they were all scared because the clear voice belonged to An Tingyu.
"Nineteenth concubine!" Everyone hurriedly saluted An Tingyu.
An Tingyu curled her red lips with a faint smile on her face. "Don't be nervous. I don't mean to blame you, because I also think this thief is too strange. He doesn't seem like someone who is after money, so he doesn't pick expensive things to steal. Or maybe he is just bored and comes here to kill time. But it is also very frustrating to have such a thief. He is hard to catch, and he is not decisive when stealing. He drags his feet and goes back and forth more than a dozen times. In the end, the total value is not as good as a painting in the lobby. You have worked hard to have such a thief."
An Tingyu's tone was half true and half false. Although she was smiling, no one knew what she was thinking. No one dared to speculate, so they could only reply: "It's not hard!"
Seeing how restrained they all were, An Tingyu continued, "I'm really not blaming you. This is how the world works. There are always people better than you, and even if you excel, it doesn't mean you're always invincible. Just because you can't do something doesn't mean you're incompetent or derelict in your duty. You're working hard to protect the villa, aren't you? So hold your heads up, you've done nothing wrong."
Upon hearing this, everyone's eyes were no longer filled with fear, but admiration!
Because they never thought that An Tingyu would say such words, they thought they would be blamed, but not only did they not get blamed, but An Tingyu comforted them in another way.
In fact, how could they not feel guilty about what happened this time?
As the guards of the Nineteenth Villa, they failed to play a protective role and let the thieves come and go freely again and again, so how could they have the face to raise their heads in front of their master? However, An Tingyu was telling them in disguise that they had tried their best. It was not that they were incompetent or derelict of duty, but that there are always people better than you and the thieves were stronger than them.
If it were another master, would he say such a thing? I'm afraid there wouldn't be another one like him in this world.
"Mom, it's grandpa and great-grandpa!" Little Yunxi pulled An Tingyu's robe and said happily.
Hearing this, An Tingyu also smiled and turned around to look at Mr. An and An Donglin who were walking towards them.
"Grandpa, Dad!" An Tingyu shouted.
"Great-grandfather, Grandpa!" Little Yunxi also called out sweetly.
"Hey! My little darling grandson! I haven't seen you for a long time. I miss you so much. Does Xier miss you?" Grandpa An picked up little Yunxi and smiled.
"think!"
"Do you miss grandpa?" Anton Lin asked without being left behind.
"think!"
"Who do you miss the most?" Mr. An asked again.
“I want both!”
"You! Your words are as sweet as honey, and you don't offend anyone!" Anton Lin tapped his head and said with a smile.
They walked towards the hall while chatting, and only after they sat down did Mr. An say, "Why did you come here so suddenly? You didn't even tell me in advance."
Then, Mr. An turned to Jing Aotian and said, "Aotian, you are such a fool! Didn't I tell you not to tell this girl? It's not a big deal. It's just a thief who stole some worthless things. Is it worth mobilizing so many people?"
Before Jing Aotian could speak, An Tingyu said, "Grandpa, don't blame Aotian. I forced him to say it. And too many things have happened recently, not just in the Nineteenth Villa, but also in Yuyan Country and Tianmen. And they all happened almost at the same time, so this is definitely not a coincidence. I'm worried about you, so I came here mainly to take you back to Tianmen so that we can take care of each other. After all, we are a family. Do we have to live apart like this forever?"
