Chapter 219 The Phoenix Hairpin is Lost



Feng Yuheng sighed softly in her heart. She thought she treated Qing Shuang well, but she didn't expect that it would end up like this. ..yan+kuai.c.om

"Forget it if you want to." Xuan Tianming said, "It was originally a reward for you, there is no reason to return it."

Feng Yuheng smiled lightly and said, "Then I'll return it to Father next time I go to the palace. I've always felt guilty for not curing your leg."

As she spoke, she closed the box again and put it into her sleeves again. Xuan Tianming handed her the tea, and when he saw her holding it in her hand, he habitually gave her a wicked smile, glanced at the cloak behind Feng Yuheng, and said, "It's not cold in the room, let the girl take the cloak off for you."

"Okay." Feng Yuheng turned to Qingshuang and said, "Take the cloak."

Qingshuang stepped forward and helped her take off the cloak. During the action, some of the tea in Feng Yuheng's hand splashed out, and Qingshuang quickly took out a handkerchief to help her wipe it. Xuan Tianming looked at it for a while, and his evil smile became even more intense.

Finally, the waiter served the dishes one by one. At Xuan Tianhua's invitation, the group began to eat.

Qingshuang put Feng Yuheng's cloak on her arm and stood behind her. She subconsciously glanced at the Third Prince, but immediately retracted her gaze, pretending to be calm, but her heart was like a huge wave rolling.

While eating, Feng Yuheng glanced at Qingshuang seemingly unintentionally, and then showed a very interested expression and said: "I didn't pay much attention when I left the house at noon today, but now I realize that Qingshuang's earrings are very beautiful. Are they made of jade?"

Qingshuang touched her ear and replied with a smile: "It's not a good jade. Last month, the young lady gave me an extra portion of the monthly allowance, so I bought it. Speaking of which, I have to thank the young lady." Although she said so, she was puzzled in her heart. This was not the first time she wore this earring. The second young lady was always a cautious person. Qingshuang would never believe that she had never seen this earring before. But why did the second young lady say this?

Just as she was thinking about it, she heard Feng Yuheng say again: "The little money I gave you as a monthly allowance can actually buy such a beautiful pendant?" She pretended to be surprised, "It looks very similar to the material of the jade gourd that was hung around my brother's waist during the Moonlit Palace Banquet."

Qingshuang's heart skipped a beat and she could no longer pretend to be calm. She looked at Feng Yuheng in horror, her heart almost jumping out of her throat.

It turned out that he was waiting for her here!

"Second Miss, you are joking. This servant...does not recognize the eldest prince."

"Hmm?" Xuan Tianming made a noise. "Heng Heng only said elder brother, why do you think it was the eldest prince?"

"This..." Qingshuang was stunned, then quickly knelt on the ground: "Miss, your servant, your servant..." She didn't know what to say, and the more she spoke, the more mistakes she made.

"What are you doing?" Xuan Tianhua shook his head helplessly, "Just have a good meal, why are you getting mad at a girl?"

"I'm not angry." Feng Yuheng personally helped Qing Shuang up, and put his hands on her arms for a long time, "I just said it casually, just to tease you. You are my maid, how come you can't even take a joke?"

Qingshuang lowered her head, hiding her fear with grievance, and said in a trembling voice: "It's all my fault."

The master and servant talked to each other for a while without meaning to, and they didn't even have time to eat a few bites of the delicious dishes at Xianyalou, and the meal ended in a hurry.

When everyone went downstairs, Xuan Tianhua took care of Xuan Tianming, and Huang Quan deliberately walked in the middle to separate Feng Yu and Qing Shuang. Wang Chuan told her about what happened last night this morning, and coupled with the previous conversation between Feng Yuheng and the Ninth Prince, although Huang Quan still couldn't guess what Qing Shuang had done wrong, he knew that he must not let that girl get close to Feng Yuheng again.

Outside Xianya Tower, the shopkeeper had already prepared the boat. When Feng Yuheng boarded the boat, he suddenly touched his sleeve and said in horror: "Oh no! My phoenix hairpin is gone!"

"What?" Everyone was shocked. Even Xuan Tianming became nervous. "Didn't you put it in your sleeve pocket before? Look for it again."

Feng Yuheng was so frightened that his face turned pale. He reached into his sleeve pocket and kept pinching and digging, but everyone could see that there was nothing in the pocket.

"What should I do?" She was so anxious that she kept asking Huang Quan and Qing Shuang: "Have you seen my phoenix hairpin?"

Huang Quan shook his head, "The last time I saw it was when the young lady put it in her sleeve pocket." As he spoke, he helped Feng Yuheng to turn over her clothes, and shook open the cloak that Qing Shuang had handed over before, but there was nothing inside. Huang Quan was also anxious, staring at Qing Shuang with sharp eyes, "Just now, you were the only one closest to the young lady, and you took the cloak and wiped the tea, and the young lady helped you later. Qing Shuang, have you seen the young lady's gold hairpin?"

Qingshuang's face turned pale. She was not afraid of being discovered after taking the things. She was afraid that even though the things were not with her, everyone thought they were with her. Especially...Xuan Tianye.

When he heard that Feng Yuheng had lost the Phoenix Hairpin, Xuan Tianye, who seemed to be equally anxious, secretly breathed a sigh of relief. He gave Qingshuang a subtle look of approval, helped to look for it for a while, and then said, "The princess is well, so I can't go back too late, lest she get anxious and tired. Seventh brother, ninth brother, you must help my sister-in-law look for it. The Phoenix Hairpin is not like other things, and it's no joke if it's lost."

As soon as he heard that Xuan Tianye was leaving, Feng Yuheng quickly used a pleading tone and said, "Ah Heng will definitely find the Phoenix Hairpin back. Please, Third Brother, keep it a secret for Ah Heng for a while. Father has been in a bad mood recently, and Ah Heng doesn't want to anger him again."

Xuan Tianye nodded, "Of course, don't worry, sister-in-law, I will never tell anyone about this."

"In that case, thank you very much, Third Brother." She bowed down, and Huang Quan and Qing Shuang also bowed down. During this bow, Feng Yuheng noticed that Qing Shuang's calves seemed to be trembling. Xuan Tianye looked at her intentionally or unintentionally, but Qing Shuang did not even dare to raise her head, and seemed to be very scared.

She smiled secretly, and then she knew what was going on.

With Xuan Tianye together, the others were not as enthusiastic about looking for things. Feng Yuheng pretended to look for a while and then said to Qingshuang, "Go upstairs and continue looking in the private room to see if anything has fallen. Remember, you must look carefully and don't miss any corner."

Qingshuang nodded, "Don't worry, Miss. I will look for it carefully."

"Okay." Feng Yuheng looked at Xuan Tianming and said, "I feel anxious and a little cold. Let's go back first and leave Qingshuang here to look for it. Also," she said to the shopkeeper, "you can help look for it too. It's a wooden box, this big -" She gestured with her hands, "It's made of mahogany."

The shopkeeper nodded repeatedly and went back with Qingshuang.

Feng Yuheng turned around to face the lake, then raised the corners of his mouth and revealed an evil smile.

The Immortal Master? Xuan Tianming had told her this name. The most famous but elusive thief in the martial arts world was actually lurking beside her in the guise of a maid. He really thought highly of her.

Want her phoenix hairpin? Little did she know that the thing that seemed to be placed on her sleeve was actually thrown into space by her mind. Even if a hundred sages were placed in front of them, there was no way they could steal the thing from her.

Several people got on the road and walked along the water to the other side. Qingshuang, who was looking for something in the private room, saw this scene through the half-open window and was frightened.

The Phoenix Hairpin was lost? But she didn't get it. She took action three times, once when she took the cloak, once when she wiped the tea, and once when Feng Yuheng helped her up.

However, the thing was not found at all. The box that was put into the sleeve pocket in front of everyone was not in the sleeve pocket for some reason. She searched almost all of Feng Yuheng's sleeves, but could not find the box.

But the terrible thing is, when Feng Yuheng said that something was lost, the Third Prince believed it!

What's even more terrible is... She raised her hand and touched her earrings. Feng Yuheng said that this thing is made of the same material as the eldest prince's accessories. This...

Those words were simply going to kill her!

Qingshuang followed the waiter from Xianyalou to look for the wooden box for nearly two hours, but finally left with nothing.

That night, as Feng Yuheng expected, Qingshuang did not return to Tongshengxuan.

Huang Quan asked her, "Miss, when did you start to doubt Qing Shuang?"

Feng Yuheng thought for a moment and said, "It was after that snowstorm. One day when I woke up, I felt that something was not right with the furnishings in the house. It wasn't messy, but it was too neat. Even the vase that I had knocked off-center before going to bed the night before was now in the right place."

"The Immortal of Miraculous Hands is truly worthy of his reputation. He didn't even notice Ban Zou when he entered the room." She deliberately spoke louder, causing Ban Zou's muffled groan to be heard in the air. "What should we do now?" Huang Quan was a little worried. "We still have to be more cautious. I'll keep watch over the young lady at night, in case Qing Shuang comes back again."

Feng Yuheng shook his head, "It's impossible for her to come back."

"Why?"

"Because Xuan Tianye will not let her go." Ever since she "accidentally" met Xuan Tianye in Xianya Tower today, Feng Yuheng was certain that Qingshuang's master was that person, so she deliberately used a lie about an earring to stir up the master-servant relationship. "Right now, I'm afraid Qingshuang is suffering."

Feng Yuheng was right. At this moment, Qingshuang was kneeling in the stone chamber of the Xiangwang Mansion, with blood oozing from the corner of her lips and one side of her face swollen. Her clothes were scattered all over the floor, and she was left with only a bellyband.

The person sitting in front of her was the Third Prince Xuan Tianye. He was already full of anger and now he was like a demon from hell, with endless rage all over his body. Facing Qing Shuang, there was not a single evil thought in his eyes, but his anger kept rising, burning the stone room with heat.

Qingshuang was trembling all over. She didn't feel humiliated even though she was stripped like this. Instead, she took off her clothes one by one just to prove her innocence.

"Master, I really didn't succeed. It was the Second Miss who was lying!"

Bang!

Xuan Tianye raised his foot and kicked Qingshuang directly in the heart.

She couldn't bear it and was kicked far away. She hit the stone wall and spit out a mouthful of blood.

But she still struggled to kneel down and crawl to Xuan Tianye's feet, crying and begging: "Master, please believe me, I really didn't succeed!"

Xuan Tianye really wanted to kick her again, but when he saw the blood Qingshuang had spit out, he lowered his foot back down.

This person is still useful.

"You are a sage with extraordinary skills. Everyone knows that there is nothing that a sage with extraordinary skills cannot steal. You have been to the imperial palace before, so how could you miss something that was right in front of you?"

This is also what Qingshuang is confused about. Seeing this with her own eyes, is it really like this? - "There is nothing in the second young lady's sleeve pocket."

"How is that possible!"

Yes, how is it possible? Even she herself didn't believe it.

"Master." Qingshuang lay on the ground and coughed for a long time. Suddenly, she remembered something and quickly raised her head to ask Xuan Tianye, "Did we find the wrong place from the beginning?"
