Yao Guangyue's mouth twitched fiercely. Could it be that it was her grandfather who healed the eldest prince's leg?
The eldest prince could only chuckle at this situation, feeling that he had turned a disaster into a blessing.
However, Conan was not as relaxed as they were at this time, because after he came back, he found that someone had entered his secret room.
All the account books that contained evidence of his crimes were gone. Kang Nan was shocked at this moment. He couldn't figure out who was plotting against him behind the scenes.
He has been dealing with the eldest prince and Mu Chan these days, and it seems that there is no problem with them. Could it be that they are also playing a trick on him?
Or maybe the imperial concubine and General Mu had some guesses?
However, the imperial concubine is a member of the palace. If she has any guesses in her mind, doesn’t that mean that His Majesty already has an idea?
For a moment, Kang Nan felt like he was about to see the guillotine. However, after he tidied up the house, he found that Xiao Cui was missing.
"Are you sure it's Xiao Cui who's missing? Is there anyone else besides her?"
The following housekeepers came to report that they had just conducted an inspection in the mansion and that everyone in the mansion had been examined.
Only Xiao Cui could not be found, and the housekeeper even sent people out to look for her.
I asked other people around Xiao Cui, and they all said that no one had seen this girl.
"In reply to the general, it is true that only Xiao Cui is missing. No one knows where she went or when she left."
Kang Nan was almost going crazy. He had been defeated by women again and again. How could he bear it?
"Send someone out to find the person, whether dead or dead, and get this general's book back no matter what!"
The butler was extremely frightened. General Conan looked gentle on weekdays, but only they knew how terrible he was when he got angry.
In a short while, everyone in the Kang family started moving.
Mu Chan knew clearly that Kang Nan had lost something, but he still went to ask him a few questions with great interest.
"General Kangnan, you just came down from the mines. What are you doing in the middle of the night? Why are all the people in the mansion running around everywhere?"
Kang Nan looked at the person in front of him. At this moment, he would rather the account book fell into Xiao Cui's hands than be taken away by the person in front of him.
After all, I haven’t seen Mu Chan since I went up the mountain with the eldest prince today.
"It's Master Mu. It's so late at night, aren't you going to bed yet? Are the people downstairs too noisy and disturbing you?"
Mu Chan smiled and shook his head, replying, "General, you're worrying too much. I'm used to sleeping late, but just now, seeing that everyone in the mansion seemed so flustered, I got up and asked if there was anything I could do to help."
Kang Nan nodded slightly to him with a forced smile, "It's just a small matter, so please don't worry about it, Master Mu."
Kang Nan was about to leave while speaking, but was stopped by Mu Chan.
"General Kang, what you said is wrong. The Imperial Concubine and Her Royal Highness the Princess are both here. We must take even the smallest matter seriously. Otherwise, if we displease His Majesty, that would be disastrous!"
Kang Nan broke out in a cold sweat after hearing this. What on earth did Mu Chan mean by this? Did he discover something?
But on second thought, this shouldn't be the case. I hid so well that even if they found some clues, they couldn't just take away the most crucial thing.
"It was just a petty thief who stole something from the mansion. Although the item is not valuable, as Lord Mu said, the imperial concubine and the princess are here, so this general can't help but pay more attention to it."
What Mu Chan had just said was retorted, but he didn't look unhappy at all.
"I see, it's just a petty thief. I wish General Kangnan every success."
After saying this, Mu Chan turned and left with a meaningful smile. This one incident alone was enough to keep Kang Nan awake for several days.
The people in the mansion searched for the whole night but couldn't find Xiao Cui's whereabouts. That thing was so important that Kang Nan was so anxious that he almost had a nosebleed.
This matter was too strange, as if the lair was robbed without any warning.
After thinking about it, Kang Nan felt that the person who would do such a thing might be Tangxi City.
He wanted to use this thing to threaten himself, so he let Xiao Cui steal his things.
But how could Xiao Cui be loyal to Tangxi City?
At this time, Xiao Cui's family members were kneeling in front of Kang Nan. Each of them was beaten beyond recognition, but they still insisted that Xiao Cui could not have stolen anything.
Thinking about it carefully, it seemed to be true. The housekeeper beside him couldn't bear it anymore, so he took the initiative to plead for mercy.
"General, that thing shouldn't have been stolen by Xiao Cui. Xiao Cui is a family girl, and her whole family's lives are in your hands. What's the point of stealing that thing?"
Kang Nan also thought of this, and Xiao Cui had been with him for many years. Not only was she very favored, but as long as she got pregnant, she would become the mistress of the backyard.
You shouldn't be working for someone you don't know at all and who doesn't even have any status or position at this time.
Thinking of this, Kang Nan felt a little annoyed and asked them to take the person away. However, at this moment, the people who were looking for Xiao Cui outside suddenly came back.
Not only did they find Xiao Cui, but they also discovered that Xiao Cui had been dead for about seven or eight days and her appearance was unrecognizable.
At that moment, Kang Nan felt his scalp tingling and grabbed the collar of the person below him.
"What did you say? She's been dead for seven or eight days. How is that possible? She was still alive yesterday."
The people below were shocked, but that was the truth.
"Reporting to the General, judging by her clothes and jewelry, this person is Xiao Cui. She has obviously been dead for seven or eight days, and her body has rotted. She was tied up and thrown into a dilapidated thatched house."
At that moment, Kang Nan felt as if his breathing had stopped. Xiao Cui had been dead for so long, so what was that thing he saw yesterday? A ghost?
Everyone who saw Xiao Cui during this period was frightened, and for a time, all kinds of legends about monsters and ghosts spread throughout the Kang Mansion.
Of course, someone suddenly mentioned: "Let's go pay our respects to the little princess. I heard she is the reincarnation of an auspicious sign. Maybe she can bless us!"
The fact that Yaoguangyue is the reincarnation of Qilin has long spread throughout the country, and even the people in this city know it.
So in the next few days, Yao Guangyue almost thought she was back in the palace.
Because Xiyan was holding herself, someone came up to her and kowtowed to her while she was walking, and the action seemed to be enough to knock her away.
[Oh my god, what the hell is this system doing? Why are these people acting like crazy, just like the people in the palace?]
"Maybe they encountered some supernatural event. Qin Xuezhen is no longer in the mansion, but Xiao Cui still hasn't come back."
