Chapter 279: She's Up to No Tricks

Upon hearing this, Lady Sun's face instantly darkened, she sternly asked, "What's going on? How could a thief easily break into my courtyard?"

Lord Marquis's face darkened, "Bring the man up!"

"Yes."

The page immediately agreed and then waved at the people outside, "Bring him in."

Two servants brought in a man, both holding him from each side, "Lord Marquis, it's him! We found him in Lady Hou's courtyard."

Before Lord Marquis could say a word, Lady Sun immediately said, "You little thief, how dare you! You snuck into Hou Mansion and stole from Lord Marquis's study, and then you dared to steal from my courtyard. If you hadn't been caught just in time, who knows what audacious things you would have done!"

The man was originally quite dazed. He had been knocked out as soon as he came out, and then he was dumped in Lady Hou's courtyard. He was awakened by the noise of the search. By the time he thought to flee, it was too late; he had been arrested on the spot.
