I walked over quickly and saw that several soldiers were about to come out.
The second master flew into a rage: "Who let you in?"
The soldiers, emboldened by Xu Mingjiao's arrogance, didn't care who they were and shouted, "We saw some suspicious figures come in, so of course we followed and searched! But when we got inside, there was nothing there. Besides, your family members were with us, so what are you yelling about!"
As he spoke, the soldier pointed to the person next to him.
Sure enough, several servants of the Hu family looked at the Second Master timidly, as if they had something to say, but their faces were full of bitterness.
"Insolence! This is the ancestral hall of the Hu family. How dare you cause trouble here again! Get out!"
Without caring about saving face for Lan Qingtian and the others, he rushed over and kicked the man out with a few kicks.
Xu Ming's expression instantly turned ugly.
You have to consider the owner before you beat a dog!
This guy in front of me doesn't even spare dogs; he clearly doesn't care about me.
Just as Xu Ming was getting angry, a school officer came over and whispered a few words in Wu Tian's ear.
Wu Tian quickly came over and whispered something in Xu Ming's ear.
After saying that, Xu Ming waved his hand coldly and said loudly to Lan Qingtian, "Your Highness! We rough men can't stay in the Hu family any longer! There's some commotion outside, they say there are still some accomplices. This old minister is going to take a look now! Please do as Your Highness pleases!"
Without waiting for Lan Qingtian's reply, Xu Ming turned around and stormed out with his men.
When the second son of the Hu family saw Xu Ming leave, he not only didn't see him off, but also coldly snorted.
Once Lan Linxue saw that the show was over, she turned to Lan Qingtian and said, "Uncle, I think if we stay here any longer, we'll get in other people's way. Why don't I accompany you back for a couple of drinks?"
Lan Qingtian glanced at Shu Lingxi.
Shu Lingxi immediately glared at him: "What? You still want to go out with Lord Xu to steal credit and capture Tuotuo? Let me tell you, you better stay home and behave yourself!"
Lan Qingtian quickly gave a sheepish smile: "Look, I didn't say anything, why are you so angry! Okay, okay, let's go home and have Lin Xue come with us to have a couple of drinks with me!"
Shu Lingxi's expression softened after hearing Lan Qingtian's words. She turned to Qin Kou'er and smiled, saying, "Kou'er, come back with us too! I want to have a good talk with you!"
Qin Kou'er quickly bowed slightly, "Yes! I will obey the Princess's orders!"
Shu Lingxi chuckled, took Qin Kou'er's hand, and walked out first.
Just as she turned the corner, Qin Kou'er saw the Qu sisters already waiting for her and nodded slightly to her.
When Qin Kou'er saw this, her smile became even gentler.
As Lan Qingtian and the others left, everyone scattered like birds and beasts, bidding farewell and departing in an instant.
Jiang Ming, who had been wanting to meet with Hu Tianyong alone, was also kicked out because Hu Tianyong was in a bad mood today.
Left with no other choice, it was worthwhile to seek another opportunity to see the master behind him.
After leaving the Hu residence, Shu Lingxi had Qin Kou'er ride in Lan Linxue's carriage, while she and Lan Qingtian rode ahead in another carriage.
After Lan Linxue got into the car, she asked Qin Kou'er in a low voice, "Did you get the things from the secret room?"
Qin Kou'er nodded, "I saw Feng'er and Ling'er come out, and from their expressions, it seems they got the stuff. And the Ghost God Talisman has already been put inside! Our plan is successful!"
Lan Linxue immediately burst into laughter, saying smugly, "Let's see how Hu Tianyong handles this situation! Hmph, let alone losing those letters, just that one Ghost God Talisman will be enough to make him suffer! He'll never find out where that thing came from!"
Qin Kou'er nodded slightly, feeling that she was getting closer and closer to her goal.
Hu Tianyong was indeed resting in the inner room. However, while he was sitting there, he was internally pouring buckets of ice water on himself.
He needed to calm himself down immediately, because everything that had happened today seemed strange no matter how you looked at it.
Although he didn't know whose scheme he had fallen for, his years of experience in officialdom made him realize instantly that a tight net was about to surround him and suffocate him.
Just as Hu Tianyong was carefully considering all of this, Hu Feifan suddenly rushed in in a panic.
"Why are you so flustered? Have you forgotten all the rules I've taught you over the years?"
Hu Tianyong was in a really bad mood today, so he didn't even give his beloved eldest grandson a friendly look.
Hu Feifan, however, didn't care at all and looked at Hu Tianyong in a panic, saying, "Grandpa, something's happened!"
"What is it?" Hu Tianyong immediately frowned deeply.
There have been enough incidents today, is there anything more frustrating going to happen?
"Grandpa, your secret room has been opened..."
Before Hu Feifan could finish speaking, Hu Tianyong stood up abruptly, turned around without saying a word, and walked towards the secret room.
Upon seeing Hu Tianyong's expression, Hu Feifan didn't finish his sentence. He really didn't know how much more of a blow this elderly man could withstand.
The door to the secret room was open, and the contents inside were in complete disarray.
Many letters were thrown on the ground.
However, Hu Tianyong didn't even glance at these things. He simply walked straight to a sandalwood box and slowly opened it.
It was completely empty inside.
Hu Tianyong's expression changed instantly, and he shouted, "What exactly happened? Didn't they say Xu Ming's men hadn't found anything? Didn't they say our people were following them? How come everything is gone!"
