Chapter 438 I didn’t hire them!

Yu Yonghuai had a look of disgust on his face and hadn't spoken yet when Xingxing walked out of the inn. In the wind and snow, behind her was the dim lights of the inn lobby, and in front of her was the flying snow and wind.

Xing Xing stood not far in front of Cen Yue Hua and said in a crisp voice:

"Thank you for your concern. Sister Cen is fine. She just got a little scared and is resting. But you are spreading the news that Sister Cen has not returned home, destroying Sister Cen's reputation. Miss Cen, don't you think your talk about sisterly love is ridiculous?"

Cen Yuehua didn't know that Cen Yueyi went with Xingxing.

She knew that Xingxing had a good relationship with Cen Yueyi, and she thought that Xingxing's words at this moment were just excuses for Cen Yueyi.

When Cen Yuehua thought of her noble sister with eyes on top of her head being abducted by bandits and having her innocence destroyed, she trembled with excitement. According to the deal they had made with the bandits, when the night lights came on, her sister with eyes on top of her head would be stripped naked by the bandits and thrown in front of the busiest wine house in the capital.

Then, she may "accidentally" see this scene while she is looking for her sister!

Therefore, when Xingxing said that Cen Yueyi was fine, Cen Yuehua was naturally unhappy.

"...You said my sister is fine, so she is fine?" Cen Yuehua glared at Xing Xing unhappily.

If this wasn't Yu Yonghuai's sister, she wouldn't even be kind to her!

"Little sister, don't delay me from looking for my sister..." Cen Yuehua snorted coldly, "What if my sister encounters any danger and you are delayed like this? Can you afford it?"

Yu Yonghuai couldn't stand hearing people talking to Xingxing like this, his face darkened, and just as he was about to say something, Xingxing took another step forward: "Second Miss Cen, how can you be so sure that something will happen to your sister? All you talk about is your sister is in danger? ... Or do you know in your heart that your sister will definitely encounter some danger?"

Cen Yuehua was very confident and said, "If my sister hadn't encountered anything, why didn't she come back home in such a snowy weather? My mother and I are very worried about her. What's wrong with going out to look for her?"

Xingxing's eyes were filled with coldness.

It seems that not only Cen Yuehua, but also the wife of Jiang Taihou, are working together to discredit Cen Yueyi's reputation?

It's not enough to collude with the bandits to capture people, they want to destroy Cen Yueyi completely!

Yu Yonghuai was so angry that his teeth were chattering.

He couldn't help it, so he took a few steps forward, and his tall figure enveloped Cen Yuehua: "Come on, follow me to the government office!"

Cen Yuehua was frightened by Yu Yonghuai's terrifying appearance and took a step back. She couldn't help but shiver: "No..."

Her mind was filled with Yu Yonghuai's terrifying look, and she couldn't think about why Yu Yonghuai took her to the yamen!

Just as the situation was at a stalemate, a somewhat happy voice sounded: "General Yu? Hua'er, why are you here?"

It was the wife of Marquis Jiang Tai, who was wearing a shawl and covered in snow.

She came from another fork in the road with some people, looking dusty and exhausted, and it seemed that she had been outside "looking for" Cen Yueyi for some time.

When Madam Jiang Taihou saw Xingxing and Yu Yonghuai looking at her, she quickly remembered the current situation. Madam Jiang Taihou's face was filled with anxiety: "I mean, General Yu, have you seen Yueyi?"

Cen Yuehua called out "mother" and quickly hid behind the wife of Jiang Taihou, saying, "Mother, I don't know what's wrong with General Yu and his sister. They insisted on stopping me from looking for my sister..."

Madam Jiang Taihou patted Cen Yuehua's arm and said, "There must be some misunderstanding here. Your sister hasn't returned home for so long, something must have happened... Your sister is General Yu's wife who hasn't married yet, how can General Yu not be anxious?"

The wife of Marquis Jiang Tai once again vowed to Yu Yonghuai: "General Yu, rest assured, we at the Marquis Jiang Tai Mansion will definitely find Yue Yi."

Yu Yonghuai looked at the faces of the mother and daughter and felt sick.

Xing Xing stepped forward calmly and said, "Hello, Madam Hou. I told you, Sister Cen was just frightened and is now resting and recuperating somewhere else. Madam Hou and Second Miss Cen don't need to go to such trouble."

Madam Jiang Taihou disagreed: "Miss Yu, you are young and don't know the pros and cons. How can a daughter of a noble family not come home so late? Don't think about covering up for your sister Cen. If something really happened, you will only miss the time to save her."

Xing Xing's eyes were heavy, and she said meaningfully, "It seems that Madam Hou and Second Miss Cen agree that Sister Cen is in some kind of 'danger' and needs someone to save her."

Mrs. Jiang Taihou's face changed slightly. She was about to say something when she saw several yamen runners jogging over, their black boots making a crunching sound as they stepped on the snow on the street.

The yamen runners clasped their fists towards Madam Jiang Taihou and said, "It's Madam Jiang Taihou and your daughter, right?"

Madam Jiang Taihou was still a little confused: "Who are you?"

The yamen runners clasped their fists again and made a "please" gesture: "Our prefect has something to ask you and your daughter to come to the government office."

The wife of Marquis Jiang Tai finally realized something was wrong and instinctively refused: "It's getting late. If you have anything to ask, please ask the prefect to come to the Marquis' Mansion!"

The wife of Marquis Jiangtai acted like a marquis's wife.

However, the yamen runners didn't buy it at all. They just watched coldly and didn't move away: "Please don't embarrass us, Madam Hou."

Judging from the posture, he is clearly planning to force the betting!

The face of Jiang Taihou's wife changed slightly: "How dare you! I am Jiang Taihou's wife! How dare you be so presumptuous!"

Cen Yuehua also suppressed the urge to scream: "Aren't you afraid that my father, Jiang Taihou, will write a letter to impeach you if you continue like this?!"

Several yamen runners sneered, "Madam Hou, Miss Cen, we are just runners who follow orders from our superiors. Let us be frank. There is a case that involves you. We ask you to cooperate with the government and go back to the yamen with us to conduct an investigation!"

Madam Jiang Taihou did not dare to think about the meaning behind these words. She only felt her teeth trembling: "...What do you mean? What case?"

No, it can't be what she thinks?!

However, the yamen runner's cold and ruthless announcement broke her extravagant fantasy: "They are the bandits who have been roaming around the suburbs of Beijing in recent days. They confessed that they were hired by the Marquis' wife. We also ask the Marquis' wife to go with us to cooperate with the investigation."

The wives of Marquis Jiang Tai and Cen Yuehua's brains exploded at the same time, and they almost lost their minds.

What do you mean?!

Those bandits were caught?!

No, if that's the case... then, what about Cen Yueyi? !

"No, that's not right. This matter has nothing to do with us!" Madam Jiang Taihou turned pale and denied it flatly, almost blurting out, "I didn't hire them to kidnap Cen Yueyi!"
