"This…." Xiao Zhong Qi wasn't able to explain either. He thought about the time today when he had played around with Concubine Xue's maids. That's probably the time when he dropped it.
But how could he tell his father that? If his mother knew that he fooled around with Concubine Xue's maids, she would be angry. Father would be angry too!
So hateful!
"It's definitely that Xue Che who purposefully tried to frame me! They lost the items in their prefecture and couldn't find it. That's why they're trying to frame me ah!"
Xiao Yuan Cheng heard the explanation and thought that it might be a possibility. He 'humphed' and angrily turned his head around.
Concubine Qin saw that his son had suffered so much and her heart was pained: "Lord, we need to think of a solution to this problem ah."
"Humph, how can we solve it? First, let that stupid son explain why his jade pendant was found in Anguo Gong's Prefecture!" Xiao Yuan Cheng 'humphed'. In his heart, he was depressed.
Originally he had planned everything out. He wanted Xiao Yun to marry Xue Che so that he could use Anguo Gong's Prefecture's power to strengthen his status. The plan was going well and the two families were satisfied.
Who knew halfway through this would happen!
Anguo Gong's Prefecture's treasure – the Lotus Flame Furnace and that Water Pearl were stolen! Those two items both disappeared at the same time and it all led to Xiao Zhong Qi.
This is definitely not a small problem! If it wasn't solved correctly and if the Xiao family really offended Anguo Gong's Prefecture, this huge statue, then they probably won't have anywhere else to stand in Nan Yi country.
The more he thought about it in his heart, the more worried he became. He walked around in the yard, back and forth.
"How do we solve this problem? Zhong Qi, you tell me!"
Xiao Zhong Qi's mouth widened but he had no thoughts in his head. He could only depressingly say: "This had nothing to do with me. How about we just let them come in the prefecture and search?"
"That is absurd!" A cold voice suddenly rang.
Xiao Yuan Cheng looked and Huang Bei Yue slowly walked over, her expression unhappy.
"If we let people just come in and search, then where would the faces of Princess Zhang's Prefecture be?" The black eyes swept through everyone's faces. The eyes were calm but there was a kind of deterrent in there that can't be described.
For a moment, the people in the yard were all stunned by the look she gave.
"Princess Zhang's Prefecture was the place that Princess Zhang had lived when she was alive. It held Princess Zhang's memorial tablet here. If it startled Princess Zhang's departed spirit and the Emperor knows and get angry, who will be held responsible for this crime?"
Concubine Xue immediately followed: "That is right. The eldest master had caused the trouble himself so he should think of ways to solve by himself. Princess Zhang's Prefecture is not a place where people can just come in and search!"
Concubine Qin harshly glared at her and insulted Concubine Xue in her heart for attacking them when they were down! When she finds a chance, she will let Concubine Xue suffer.
"Third young miss ah, this time your big brother is framed. You can't just watch him die and not save him ah." Concubine Qin suddenly smiled while talking to Huang Bei Yue.
In her memory, she rarely saw Concubine Qin revealed that smile to try to please her.
Concubine Qin's face was pretty but that smile made her want to vomit!
"Concubine, you're funny. What solutions would I have? I'm just a normal person." After Huang Bei Yue had finished, she softly coughed. Her pale face revealed a weak and sick expression.
Concubine Xue obviously knew what Concubine Qin was thinking about. After all, she just wanted Huang Bei Yue to go to the Emperor and beg him. Concubine Xue wouldn't let that happen!
