After hearing this, Mr. Jiang's face darkened:

"The mansion is in such a state, and you still have the heart to play?"

Jiang Qingxue explained:

"Dad, no, I'm going to check her mansion to see if it's been robbed as well."

"What?" Mr. Jiang didn't understand for a moment.

"Dad, I met Princess Qi yesterday. Who knew she could tell fortunes? She said that the Jiang and Chen residences would be robbed at night. After hearing that, I thought she was lying to me, so I didn't take it seriously."

"I'll go check on Sister Anqi to see if she's been robbed as well."

After hearing this, Mr. Jiang was stunned for a moment.

Then he reacted and shouted, "What? You knew it would be stolen?"

"Why didn't you tell Dad?" Mr. Jiang was a little angry at this moment.

Why did he work so hard? Wasn't it just so that his children and wife could live a good life?

Now, my daughter knew that she would encounter thieves, but she didn’t tell me?

Jiang Qingxue felt a little aggrieved, but she didn't want to do that.

But yesterday Sister Anqi said that it would never happen.

"Dad, I thought Princess Qi was joking, but who knew it was true."

"The best way right now is to see if the Chen Mansion has also been robbed. If it has, we... the whole family will go together to ask the emperor for help."

Without waiting for Master Jiang to reply, Jiang Qingxue rushed out of the mansion anxiously.

When Mr. Jiang saw her like this, he said, "Madam, you stay here and look around to see if there is anything valuable left behind." Then he followed Jiang Qingxue out.

Jiang Qingxue jogged all the way.

At this time, Chen Anqi was humming a little tune while dressing up in the house, and she was in a very happy mood.

See, she said that this thing would not be lost, but Jiang Qingxue still didn't believe her.

Today, she got up at sunrise, looked around, and made sure that nothing in the house was lost before she went to bed with peace of mind.

I slept until the hour of Si when I woke up slowly.

"Miss, are you going to see Miss Jiang today? My carriage is ready."

Chen Anqi's fingers paused for a moment, recalling the scene of yesterday.

She said coldly:

"I won't go. Yesterday, she didn't even dare to confront Princess Qi. She is the legitimate daughter of the Minister of Industry. Such a good status is simply wasted in her hands. What an incompetent idiot!"

"If my father was also the Minister of Industry, I would definitely be more capable than her."

The maid stood aside and pinched her handkerchief.

"Miss, are we staying at home today?"

"Let's go find Sister Siyu. After all, she is the daughter of the Minister of Chancellery. If we can make friends with her, it will be good for Daddy."

The maid smiled and nodded, "Yes, Miss."

At this time, a maid came in from the door and bowed, "Miss, Miss Jiang is here."

A trace of disgust flashed across Chen Anqi's eyes.

Then he slowly stood up and asked, "Why are you here so early?"

"This slave doesn't know."

After a while, another maid came in from the door with Jiang Qingxue.

Jiang Qingxue looked a little unhappy. She walked hurriedly from outside the house and was about to call Chen Anqi.

But after seeing the decoration in her house, I was stunned.

"Sister Anqi, didn't you say that the house would not be robbed?"

When Chen Anqi saw her coming, she immediately smiled and slowly stood up and said, "Sister Qingxue, why are you here so early in the morning?"

Jiang Qingxue walked to Chen Anqi's side, grabbed her hand and asked, "Sister Anqi, your house has not been robbed?"

"No, I took a special look when I got up early this morning, and nothing was missing."

"Strange, Princess Qi really predicted our house, and everything was stolen last night."

Chen Anqi was shocked when she heard this: "What? Your things were stolen again?"

Jiang Qingxue almost cried when she found out that only her own house was stolen.

She choked up and said, "What should I do, Sister Anqi?"

"I didn't take your words to heart yesterday, and I didn't tell my father when I got home."

The maid next to Chen Anqi said anxiously:

"Ms. Chen, why didn't you tell the minister about such a big thing?"

"My young lady told the master and his wife as soon as she came back, and all the maids in the mansion were on guard all night last night."

After hearing this, Jiang Qingxue suddenly stopped crying.

He looked at Chen Anqi with burning eyes.

"Sister Anqi, didn't you say you were okay?"

Chen Anqi wanted to stop the maid when she was talking just now, but she was too slow and the maid had already finished speaking.

She quickly explained:

"Sister Qingxue, when I came back yesterday, I happened to talk about Princess Qi with the maid, but my father heard it, so I told him now."

"I didn't want to say it originally. After all, who would take such a ridiculous thing seriously?"

Jiang Qingxue listened to Chen Anqi's words and whispered, "Didn't your father take it seriously?"

Chen Anqi's heart skipped a beat, and then she pretended to be stupid and asked:

"Sister Qingxue, what did you say?"

"Oh, nothing, Sister Anqi, I'll go back then." Jiang Qingxue just wanted to find a solution as soon as possible.

"I just came to see if Princess Qi's divination would come true."

After sending Jiang Qingxue away, Chen Anqi immediately retracted her expression, "What an idiot, I told you not to tell your father, and you really didn't tell him?"

"It's such a big thing, but I can still sleep peacefully."

As she spoke, she looked at the painted nails on her hands.

"He Xiang, go and send a message to Sister Siyu, and we'll go find her."

"Yes, ma'am."

On this side, Jiang Qingxue walked out of Chen's house and stood at the door, looking at the street in confusion.

The house was robbed because of her carelessness. What should she do?

Life now was not as comfortable as when she was in Chang'an County. The noble ladies in the imperial city were dressed more flamboyantly and better than each other, forcing her to do the same.

Three months ago, her mansion was robbed and she was mocked by several noble ladies for her inappropriate clothing. She finally begged her father to borrow money from her colleagues, but who knew that she would be robbed again.

At this moment, Mr. Jiang hurried to the Chen Mansion. He was about to get angry, but when he saw his daughter's lonely figure, he felt very uncomfortable.

Then he suppressed his emotions and walked to her side, "Qingxue, what's wrong?"

"Dad, Sister Anqi's house wasn't robbed, why did this happen?"

"Princess Qi told us that our mansion and the Chen Mansion would be robbed."

Mr. Jiang sighed and pulled her up helplessly.

"Let's go, let's continue to think of a solution."

"Yeah." She couldn't stop her tears from flowing.

Mr. Jiang took Jiang Qingxue and turned to leave, but he caught a glimpse of a lion at the door out of the corner of his eye.

Then he stopped.

Noticing Master Jiang's strangeness, Jiang Qingxue wiped her tears and asked:

"Dad, what's wrong with you?"

"Qingxue, why do the two lions at the door look so familiar to Dad?"

"Really?" Jiang Qingxue asked suspiciously, then turned her head to look at the lion next to her.

"When I left the house just now, I noticed that the lions on the gate of the mansion were gone. The two lions were low-quality ones that Dad bought last month."

"It didn't even have eyeballs at the time. Dad stuffed them in with two small balls."

"By the way, Qingxue, Dad remembers that there seemed to be no lions in the Chen Mansion, right?"

Jiang Qingxue walked towards one of the lions step by step, talking as she walked.

"Dad, I have never seen a lion at their door before."

As she spoke, her eyes couldn't help but look towards the lion's eyes.

Suddenly, her pupils contracted sharply.

"father--"
