Seeing Chu Weiyue coming, the leading beggar immediately stood up to greet him: "Boss, you finally came to see us!"
"Well, how are things going? Is there any news about Wen Jingchi recently?" Chu Weiyue asked with a cold face and a stern tone.
The beggar sighed helplessly: "Not at the moment! It's not that we are incompetent, it's that this prince is too secretive. There are always people looking for him, but they never see him come out. It's not easy for us to go in and ask..."
Chu Weiyue had no intention of listening to the following words, and her brows were tightly furrowed, with disappointment that could not be concealed in her eyes.
He gave them some silver to buy food and walked home at a leisurely pace.
When I arrived near the door of my house, I saw a familiar figure. It was Lin Zixi!
After she got into a carriage, the driver drove the carriage forward quickly.
The speed was not fast, and Chu Weiyue wanted to chase after it to see what was happening, but he noticed that the system had refreshed the gossip news.
[Shocking! Chu Ranxin didn't rinse his mouth after breakfast, and a leek and an egg were stuck between his teeth! ]
Chu Weiyue couldn't help but burst out laughing immediately.
[Hahaha, that sounds disgusting enough. I'm about to throw up my lunch, and I don't have to eat dinner! How could His Royal Highness the Crown Prince have the heart to kiss her at that time!]
Chu Weiyue was so busy muttering to herself that she didn't realize Chu Ranxin was standing behind her.
These words made her face turn red all the way to her ears, and she rushed to Chu Weiyue in anger.
"Chu Weiyue, you've gone too far! Tell me, did you deliberately pretend to be wronged in front of your brother just now, framing me and mother for abusing you?"
She was emitting anger all over her body, like a tigress who could eat a small person in one bite.
Chu Weiyue didn't bother to pay attention to her, and immediately widened her eyes in confusion: "Have you and your mother ever abused me? Haven't you always been very good to me? What do you mean by asking this?"
These words were basically an insult to Chu Ranxin, who was incriminating himself.
"Chu Weiyue, I must teach you a lesson today!"
Chu Ranxin was so angry that he saw stars. He didn't care where he was and raised his hand to slap Chu Weiyue.
This scene happened to be seen by Chu Lingfeng who had just returned, and his face instantly turned as dark as the bottom of a pot.
He walked over quickly, grabbed Chu Ranxin's wrist, and threw it back hard, causing Chu Ranxin to almost fall head over heels.
Chu Weiyue threw herself into Chu Lingfeng's arms and complained aggrievedly: "Brother, I don't know what's wrong with Chu Ranxin. He suddenly came over to beat me like a madman!"
In order to make Chu Lingfeng even angrier, she cried and rubbed against his arms.
Chu Lingfeng's anger erupted again, and he pointed at Chu Ranxin's nose and shouted, "Chu Ranxin, you are really going too far. Chu Weiyue is your sister, how could you do that to her?"
"I didn't! Brother, don't listen to my sister's nonsense. She was the one who insulted me first!" Chu Ranxin's tears were in her eyes and she was about to fall.
"Even if she really said something bad to you, she is still your sister. Should you hit her openly? As a rich lady, you don't behave like a lady at all. Do you still think you are right? I warn you, if you dare to bump into my sister again, I will never let you go!"
Chu Lingfeng's face was filled with endless anger, and he deliberately emphasized the words "my sister".
Such a sentence is equivalent to completely severing the relationship between them.
There were many people around. Chu Ranxin's face turned red, as if he was nailed to a pillar of shame. Tears rolled down his face. He covered his face and cried as he fled the scene.
Chu Weiyue snorted disdainfully and smiled arrogantly and complacently.
This woman is no match for her. She will suffer in the future!
Sensing a flash of cunning in Chu Weiyue's eyes, Chu Lingfeng instantly realized what was happening, but did not pursue it too much. Instead, he gently scratched Chu Weiyue's nose.
"Girl, don't play around anymore. If something like this happens again and I'm not around, who will protect you?"
"Then I will stay with my brother forever, so that you can protect me forever!"
Her words made Chu Lingfeng laugh. He tapped her forehead gently, and the two walked towards home while chatting.
Chu Weiyue suddenly remembered the beautiful jewelry box in the room with a name engraved on it, which seemed to be their mother's maiden name.
Just by looking at the box, you can tell that there must have been a lot of precious dowry inside, but now there are only a few pieces left.
"Oh, brother, there should be a lot of dowry among mother's belongings. There is a box in my room with many grid designs on it. If I guess correctly, there should have been a lot of jewelry, but now there are only two inconspicuous hairpins left!"
Chu Lingfeng frowned and said, "I remember there was a box filled with jewels. I saw it when I was a child. Mother also said that she would leave these for you as a dowry. I will go and ask for you later."
The two were so busy chatting that they didn't even notice there was a little girl standing next to them.
This little girl happened to be close to Song. After hearing what they said, she ran to tell Song without stopping.
After hearing these words, Song slammed the table in panic.
"This pair of worrying siblings actually thought of that box of jewellery at this time. It's really too much!"
That box of jewellery was extremely valuable and he had been hoping to keep it for himself to wear slowly, so how could he possibly return it to them?
But if they don't return it now, the two brothers and sisters will definitely not let it go.
After all, Chu Lingfeng is no longer the young boy he used to be. He has made great military achievements and is a popular figure in front of the emperor. How can he afford to offend him!
The maid leaned close to Song's ear and said, "Madam, don't worry. I have already thought of a solution for you. You can tell them that the relics are in the care of grandma. The old lady has so many jewels and jewelry locked in her own treasure house. She is so old that she must not remember whether she has them or not. I don't believe they have the nerve to ask!"
"That's a great idea, you're amazing!"
Song narrowed her eyes, poked the girl's forehead hard, and danced with excitement.
That way she could keep the jewels.
Arriving at the room where his father lived, Chu Lingfeng took Chu Weiyue and walked straight in.
Noticing someone coming in, the Marquis opened his eyes and sat up straight from the bed.
"You two came in without even saying hello. You're really becoming more and more unruly."
With a hint of displeasure on his face, he straightened his clothes and sat on the chair next to him.
"Tell me, what do you want from me?" He glanced at the two of them coldly and picked up the tea and drank it nonchalantly.
Chu Lingfeng didn't hide anything and asked directly, "Father, among the relics left by my mother when she passed away, there was a box of dowry jewelry. Where is it now?"
