These earrings...
“This place must be burned down. If I handle it improperly, the Emperor will punish me, and I will bear all the consequences.”
“How can we let Lord Liu take all the blame? I am also involved in this matter. When the time comes, I will submit a memorial to the throne together with Lord Liu.”
"good."
At this moment, the Prefect of the Capital and Liu Yunzhou walked out at the same time.
Xie Lingqin's eyes narrowed as she looked at the Prefect of the Capital, holding the earring. "Lord Huo, have you seen these earrings before?"
The Prefect of the Capital was about to ask Xie Lingqin, who was still there, when he saw her holding an earring and looking at him. He was about to answer that he would not know about such a woman's item, but then he felt that the earring was so familiar.
After a moment, his expression changed slightly as he looked at Xie Lingqin, "Miss Xie, where did you find this?"
“There…” Xie Lingqin pointed to the clump of grass and said coldly, “Just now, a little girl was hiding there, but she’s gone now.”
"What if... my daughter gets hurt too?"
"So, Lord Huo, are you sure this earring belongs to Huo Yanru?"
In that instant, beads of sweat appeared on the face of the Prefect of the Capital.
He was certainly aware of the past grievances between Xiao's daughter and Xie Lingqin, and had even warned her last night. Could it be that she had gotten herself into some trouble due to her ignorance...?
Xie Lingqin's words were very clear: if this belonged to Huo Yanru, there was only one explanation for why a young lady from a prominent family would be here.
That little girl was most likely taken away by her.
"Miss Xie, please don't worry. I will immediately send someone to investigate this matter."
After saying this, the Prefect of the Capital and Lord Liu parted ways, and the Prefect of the Capital and his men prepared to return to the Prefect's residence.
"My lord, something terrible has happened! Quickly, save the young lady!"
As soon as he stepped out of the courtyard, a young maidservant hurried towards him. Upon seeing the Prefect of the Capital, she immediately knelt down.
"Tell me, what happened?"
The Prefect of the Capital spoke sternly.
"Miss, Miss was originally with a little maid..." The maid's eyes flickered, "but halfway there someone appeared and kidnapped Miss and the little maid."
Where are we going?
"Outside the city."
The maid was almost in tears, trembling all over under the wrath of the Prefect of the Capital.
"Go, out of the city, give chase."
Xie Lingqin thought for a moment, then followed the departing figure of the Prefect of the Capital.
Xie Danling thought for a moment and then followed suit.
Ning Xiucai was hesitating whether to follow, but Ning Yi had already pulled him along.
Liu Yunzhou paused for a moment, seemingly wanting to follow, but after looking behind him, he immediately stayed behind.
"Someone come here!"
"exist."
"Burn this place down."
"yes."
