Forced to be a third person: I turned around and left the palace to marry a villain

Jiang Xue winked at Fu Dong, who immediately brought her clean clothes to change into.

Xiaochun walked out of the house and asked Jiang Qibin in a low voice: "Did you see anyone passing by?"

Jiang Qibin shook his head.

Xiaochun looked cold and pointed at the roof.

Jiang Qibin felt relieved and immediately flew up to the eaves.

Xiaochun turned to look at another Wu Anlang, who was Xu Chong.

She said: "You keep guard at the door and pay attention to anyone passing by around the house. If anything happens in the back room, I will call you loudly."

Xu Chong cupped his fists and nodded, then immediately put his hand on the scabbard.

Xiaochun looked around for a while, then opened the door and entered the house.

She closed the door and saw Jiang Xue had put on her clothes, walked forward and said:

"Your Highness, you have asked Jiang Qibin to go investigate."

Jiang Xue's eyes were cold, and she sat down on the couch and began to think.

Fu Dong was packing his clothes and said, "No wonder the empress has appointed Wu Anlang to accompany the princess. This Gu Mansion guard is so incompetent."

Xiaochun shook her head at Fudong and put her fingers to her lips, as if to be silent.

Seeing Jiang Xue's deep frown, she comforted:

"Maybe it was a cat that passed by. Don't be surprised, Your Highness. You will find out when Jiang Qibin comes back."

Jiang Xue closed her eyes and said, "I knew it was not peaceful here."

She opened her eyes, filled with a murderous aura, "I never thought it would be so rampant."

Fudong looked surprised, but Xiaochun only frowned slightly.

Xiaochun walked to Jiang Xue, knelt down and whispered:

"Your Highness has some suspicion?"

Jiang Xue thought for a while, then shook her head slightly and said:

"It's just a guess, I can't say for sure."

"I called you two here because I wanted to tell you something."

In a very soft voice, she briefly told the story of Su Xi's mother and son. The version was very different from what she and Jiang Yuhe Zhilin told, except that the plot of the dream was omitted.

He also told them about Gu Lintan's bribery of He Zhilin.

After hearing this, Fu Dong had an angry look on his face and raised his eyebrows: "How could this person be so mean? Why doesn't Your Highness directly report to Your Majesty and the Empress to break off this marriage?"

Xiaochun reached out and gently pulled Fudong's sleeve, signaling her to calm down.

Jiang Xue said: "The marriage will definitely end, it's just a matter of time."

Xiaochun said: "Your Highness has brought us all here today. What do you need us to do?"

Jiang Xue looked at Xiaochun with admiration, took her hand and said:

"Gu Lintan's actions are full of doubts. I need to be patient and stay in the Gu Mansion for a while."

"Brother Huang happened to do me a big favor today, saving me the trouble of opening my mouth."

"From now on, you will be the steward of the Gu Mansion. From today on, you and Fu Dong will carefully check all the items in the warehouse and check them one by one with the detailed booklet Huang Fu gave you."

"Yes." Xiaochun said, "If there are any unusual items coming or going, or if they don't match the records, I will report them to Your Highness."

Jiang Xue patted her hand and said: "The reason why I hurriedly asked you to find Huang Fu to hand over the matter during dinner is because I was afraid that I would leave time for them to do tricks."

Xiaochun said: "Your Highness, don't worry. I have taken all the account books, details and deeds to the room. I will start a detailed investigation tonight."

Jiang Xue said: "According to what Gu Lintan said, among the servants in this mansion, except Huang Fu, who is an old servant, the rest are all recently purchased."

"You can find a time in a few days to call them all together and question them one by one. If there is any ambiguity or misunderstanding, they will all be arranged to sweep the outer courtyard."

After she finished speaking, she looked at Fu Dong and said, "You have an upright temperament and act in a fickle manner. If your servants in the Gu family are arrogant or disrespectful or disobey their instructions, you will scold them as long as there is an opportunity to do so."

"If there is anyone who is unscrupulous, just go to Xiaochun and get the deed of residence and send it out."

"Be sure to beat up the people Gu Lintan handles, otherwise you, the housekeeper, will be unable to move even an inch in this house."

At this moment, there was a knock on the door.

Xiaochun stood up and said, "It should be Jiang Qibin."

Fu Dong arranged Jiang Xue's robe and helped her sit down in the main hall. Xiaochun just opened the door.

Jiang Qibin walked into the house, knelt down on one knee and clasped his fists in salute.

Jiang Xue waved her hand to let him get up and asked, "Have you found anyone?"

Jiang Qibin shook his head and said, "It's because my subordinates neglected their duties and didn't notice it immediately."

"I don't blame you." Jiang Xue reached out and picked up the tea cup, and Fu Dong immediately filled her with tea.

She said: "You guys are guarding the main entrance of Wenqingxuan. The sound is coming from the roof of the back room. There is some distance in between. It's normal that you can't hear it."

"No, Your Highness," Jiang Qibin said, "I just went up to check, but I couldn't see anyone around."

He took out half a piece of roof tile from his arms and handed it to Xiaochun.

Xiaochun looked at it several times and said, "Any clues?"

"This rock tile is newly broken, so it should be the source of the sound." Jiang Qibin said.

"Could it be that it belonged to a cat or dog and was trampled to pieces?" Xiaochun asked next.

"This mansion was given by the Holy One and was recently renovated," Jiang Qibin shook his head and said:

"Besides, this kind of rock tile is very hard and cannot be broken by ordinary cats and dogs."

Jiang Xue stopped drinking tea, her eyes complex.

"In other words, you can basically conclude that someone was on the roof?" Jiang Xue asked.

"Not only that," Jiang Qibin said,

"Wu Anlang is not an ordinary guard. We have received a lot of training in the military and the palace. We can make such a soft sound that we are not aware of it, and we leave so fast——"

"This person must be a master."

Hearing this, Xiaochun and Fudong were both shocked.

Jiang Xue was much calmer.

"Aren't you all masters?" she said calmly.

"I...maybe not a match for this person." Jiang Qibin scratched his head.

There is a gap between masters and masters, right?

"If Brother Chen Jin were here, he would definitely not be unaware of it." He said regretfully.

"Chen Jin," Jiang Xue tried hard to remember which one it was, "He is very skilled?"

"Not only is he very good, no one in Wu An can beat Brother Chen Jin!" Jiang Qibin said loudly.

Jiang Xue frowned, Jiang Qibin...this boy is good at everything, but his voice——

It's really a bit too big.

She turned around and asked Xiaochun: "Where is Chen Jin now?"

Xiaochun said: "Wu Anlang rests in the wing at the entrance of the east courtyard. Due to His Highness's instructions, I only called Jiang Qibin and Xu Chong over. Does Your Highness need me to find him now?"

Jiang Xue shook her head and said, "It's too late. Let them rest. Jiang Qibin and Xu Chong will be on duty tonight."

Fu Dong worriedly said: "If the thief comes again..."

"I will definitely not come again tonight." Jiang Xue sneered.

Now that they have been exposed, Jiang Qibin and the others will definitely be more vigilant tonight. After all, Wu Anlang is not a fool, and only a fool would do it again.

With such good skills, he must not be an ordinary character. How could Gu Lintan find such a person to listen to Qianggen?

She raised her head and said to Jiang Qibin: "You two have worked hard tonight to keep watch. You can stop by the front yard to inform me that there may be a thief breaking into my place. I need to send more people to arrest all the servants and servants." Call to come and guard at the gate of the courtyard."

She said slyly: "The louder the noise, the better."

Jiang Qibin shouted: "Yes!"

Jiang Xue was shocked by the loud voice.

Jiang Qibin turned around and walked to the door, but was stopped by Jiang Xue:

"Jiang Qibin, from now on you don't have to speak so loudly in the house..."

Jiang Qibin immediately shouted: "Yes, Your Highness!"

Jiang Xue was a little angry and roared:

"Jiang Qibin, I ask you to keep your voice down!"
