Rebirth, guarding the mute at the tip of my heart

"Young Master, what's wrong?" A Gui hurried to catch up with Jiang Xin, and when he walked into the house, he saw him staring at the wardrobe in a daze, and asked subconsciously.

Ever since Jiang Xin moved into the palace, Xie Ze assigned Agui to be his servant. Agui also changed his way of addressing Jiang Xin to "Young Master" and from then on he only recognized Jiang Xin as his master. These were the prince's original words.

Today is the Fourth Prince's wedding. Although Xie Ze has a mediocre relationship with the Fourth Prince, he is still the Fourth Prince's cousin in appearance, so naturally he has to go to the Prince's Mansion to congratulate him.

With the prince away, Agui, who had been following Jiang Xin, finally felt that he could be of use. He immediately took the opportunity to help his new master solve problems.

"Your Highness, please give me the glass lamp. I can't find it..." Jiang Xin was a little anxious. In addition, he had just run here, so his eyes were a little red.

It was no secret that Xie Ze had won a set of colored glass lamps in the Wei Mansion and gave them to Jiang Xin. Ah Gui naturally knew about it. Upon hearing this, he helped Jiang Xin look for it in the closet, and asked as he searched: "Sir, are you sure the colored glass lamps are in the closet?"

"Yeah." Jiang Xin nodded. He didn't have a separate study room in the Jiang Mansion, and there were few things in the room. He originally thought of buying another cabinet to store the gifts sent to him by the prince, but later he was busy making colored glass, so he put the matter on hold for the time being. He then treasured the colored glassware and hid it in the closet.

Agui looked at the messy wardrobe, and after getting Jiang Xin's consent, he opened the small drawer of the bookcase next to it and looked at the wooden carvings inside. They were all scattered all over the place.

He had seen the young master's small study in the palace. The servants never had to tidy it up. The books and other items were always neatly arranged, and even some of the wood carvings were placed facing the same direction.

It can be seen that the messy state of the things in this drawer could definitely not be the work of their young master.

Thinking of this, Agui frowned and said solemnly: "Sir, I'm afraid there is a thief in the family."

But this thief was too bold. He knew that this glassware was given to the young master by their prince, but he dared to sneak into the house and steal it when the young master was not at home. Wasn't he afraid that the prince would skin him alive after finding out? !

Jiang Xin pursed his lips, and after a while he raised his head and said to Agui: "You go to the front hall first and tell father, father, there is a thief. If his hands, feet, are not clean and bump into the distinguished guests, it will be bad. Explain, we must, we must investigate thoroughly!"

Ah Gui was stunned when he heard this, then he quickly nodded and said, "Yes, I will go right away."

Jiang Xin saw Agui jogging away, and his hands hanging by his sides had been clenched into fists at some point.

Fu Xuerong was very suspicious and did not trust outsiders, so all the servants in the Jiang residence had signed indentures. Even if they stole a lot of money, they would not be able to leave on their own accord.

Such people generally would never dare to steal things from their master's house and sell them. There will always be a time when their crimes will be exposed, and they cannot escape to other places. Are they trying to save their lives?

If there were no servants who had escaped from the house recently, then the most likely person to have stolen the glass cup was not a servant, but someone who was fearless and would not think it was a big deal even if he was discovered...

*

Jiang Zhengchu was chatting with an old friend in the front hall when he saw the servant his son had found from somewhere standing not far away. He waved at him anxiously, "Sir..."

"..." Jiang Zhengchu's face immediately darkened and he walked over unhappily. Just as he was about to open his mouth to reprimand him, he saw the other party coming up and whispering what Jiang Xin had asked him to convey.

Jiang Zhengchu's face changed after hearing this, and he lowered his voice and said angrily: "This is outrageous! Who is so bold as to steal in my house!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Jiang Zhengchu called the housekeeper without waiting for Agui to speak, and said sternly: "Take two people with this..."

"Sir, my name is Agui, and I was sent by the prince to serve as a servant by the young master's side." Agui readily revealed his identity, also to tell Jiang Zhengchu that the theft of the gift that the prince gave to Jiang Xin would definitely reach the prince's ears, and he hoped that Jiang Zhengchu would face it squarely.

Hearing that this person was arranged by the prince, Jiang Zhengchu nodded and continued to say to the housekeeper: "You follow Agui to find the young master. You must catch the thief as soon as possible. You must not offend the distinguished guests who came to the mansion to congratulate you today."

"Yes, I'll take people to investigate right away!" The housekeeper was so scared when he heard that a thief had stolen the things sent by the prince in the mansion that he immediately took people to Jiang Xin's room.

He is in charge of all the servants in the mansion. If anything happens to the glass lamp, he will definitely not escape the responsibility.

When that wise king gets mad, he can beat his master half to death. His life is not even enough to be kicked away by that madman!

*

Fortunately, this matter is not difficult to investigate. There are not many people in the Jiang family. In addition, Jiang Xin's room is remote and not many people come and go on weekdays. All we have to do is ask the servant guarding the side door.

The side door is closest to Jiang Xin's room. Logically, the servant should be able to see clearly who passes through Jiang Xin's room.

When the housekeeper came with his men, Jiang Xin did not delay and went straight to the two servants who took turns guarding the side door and asked them, "Has anyone entered my room recently?"

The two servants first looked at the butler beside them, then looked at Jiang Xin, and finally lowered their heads and whispered, "Master, I haven't noticed it, so there shouldn't be any, right?"

However, what surprised the servant and the housekeeper was that Jiang Xin, who was thought to be unable to speak clearly, was very clear in his thinking. He was not in a hurry to see the servant deny it, but just said with a stern face and expressionless face: "The side door is opposite to my room. You didn't see it. There are only two possibilities.

First, you two, when on duty, were lazy and did not work properly.

second……"

Jiang Xin deliberately took a step forward, looked at the two servants with a cold expression, and said word by word: "You, one of the two, must be the one who entered my room and stole!"

The two servants panicked immediately, kneeling down and saying in a panic: "It's unfair, it's unfair! The two of us have been working diligently for the Jiang family, and we have no intention of stealing. Please, housekeeper, please look into it!"

"Tell the truth, otherwise, even if you two didn't steal, you couldn't even spot the thief when you were so close. It would be a pity to beat and kill such lazy servants." Jiang Xin said in a cold tone.

Agui: “…” For some reason, he suddenly saw a little bit of their prince’s shadow in the young master. Could this be the legendary saying “birds of a feather flock together”?

The two servants had never thought that the young master, who seemed inconspicuous on weekdays, could be such a cruel and ruthless person. They looked at each other, and finally, the older servant gritted his teeth and kowtowed to surrender:

"Master, spare me! We are not lazy at all. The only person who has entered Master's room during this period of time is Miss!"

The housekeeper was stunned when he heard this, and then he heard the servant say, "The young lady is the master of the family. I really can't afford to offend her, so I didn't tell the truth. Please forgive me, young master. Please forgive me, young master!"

"..." The housekeeper was at a loss. He thought it was a servant with dirty hands, but he didn't expect it to be the young lady... What should he do?

The butler felt that this matter was beyond his control, so he planned to retreat and tell the master first. However, after receiving the look from his master, Agui immediately understood and stopped the butler and the others, smiling and saying, "Our master hasn't finished speaking yet, please wait for a moment."

The three housekeepers: "..."

Jiang Xin glanced at the housekeeper and asked calmly, "What is father's order?"

"..." The butler gritted his teeth and said with difficulty: "The master means that the thief should be arrested as soon as possible."

"Then, don't waste time." Jiang Xin frowned, walked to the front, and said coldly: "Go to the side hall."

"Please come in, all three of you." Ah Gui followed behind and made an inviting gesture to the butler and the other two, saying with a smile, "It would be better to first find the lost property and capture the criminal, and then report to the master. This would save more time, wouldn't it?

Otherwise, if you delay for a moment, the thief escapes, and the young master's glass lamp is lost, you will not be able to bear the wrath of our prince."

At this time, Jiang Xin also said calmly: "Retrieve my things, and I will bear the consequences."

The three housekeepers: "..." Didn't they say that their young master was a timid little poor guy who could be bullied by anyone? Who is this ruthless man who uses both kindness and force, kills decisively, and hits the target with one strike? ! !

So, before Jiang Zhengchu knew it, Jiang Xin had already taken his housekeeper and servants to the side hall to look for Jiang Daiyu's dowry.

Jiang Daiyu stole the glass cup while he was away, and would definitely take it to the prince's palace as a dowry.

Otherwise, when he comes back and finds that the things are missing, it will always be traced back to her. If he left them at home, he would definitely ask for them back. Even if he doesn't want them back, Your Highness will help him.

But if the glass cup was brought to the prince's mansion, he couldn't chase after the fourth prince's mansion to ask for it, because that would be too embarrassing.

Thinking of this, Jiang Xin quickened his pace. If he waited until the dowry was carried out of the door, it would be difficult for him to look for it again. For the sake of the family's reputation, his father would stop him at all costs.

The people who were carrying the dowry in the house were now waiting in the side hall for news. The concubine would always go out later, so at this moment, everyone was sitting lazily and resting. After all, they would have to carry the dowry all the way to the prince's mansion, and there would be no rest along the way.

When Jiang Xin brought his people over, no one took it seriously at first. They just stood up and bowed politely before sitting down again. They all knew that this young master never cared about anything, so even if they were a little lazy in front of him, they would not be punished or reported.

It was not until Jiang Xin and Agui started to open the dowry box one after another that everyone was shocked. The nanny who was in charge of guarding the box was stunned for a moment and then hurried forward to stop the two of them, saying anxiously: "Master, what are you doing?! This is the young lady's dowry box. The young lady hasn't left yet, how can you just open it?! This is too unlucky!"

However, the old nanny was unable to stop the nimble Agui. Seeing that she could not stop him in time, she quickly shouted to everyone, "Why are you still standing there?! Stop them now! This is the young lady's dowry, and it has to be carried into the prince's mansion. If there is any damage, the young lady and His Royal Highness the Fourth Prince will not forgive you!"

The people who were still in a daze finally came to their senses and rushed over to help. However, Jiang Xin was the eldest son after all, and now he was a favorite of the wise king, so they did not dare to use brute force, but just stood beside the dowry box to stop them.

"Master, please don't make things difficult for us. These are all Miss's dowry. They cannot be opened unless you go to the prince's mansion!"

"Manager Li!" Jiang Xin shouted angrily. Manager Li was startled, but finally he gritted his teeth and stepped forward to stop the others.

Seeing that things have developed to this point, the lady will definitely blame him afterwards, and he can only cling to the eldest young master and the prince, perhaps he can still have a way to survive.

"Everyone calm down first, don't worry, it's just that the young master has a glassware, the one that the prince gave him, maybe it was taken by a servant by mistake and put into the young lady's dowry. When the young master finds it, he will restore the young lady's dowry to its original state." Ah Gui explained as he opened the boxes as quickly as possible. Finally, when he opened the third box, he saw the set of transparent glass cups at a glance and immediately shouted excitedly: "Found it!"

*

The noise in the side hall was quite loud and soon spread to the front hall. Jiang Zhengchu was already in a bad mood when he heard the noise. He was about to scold them when he heard Fu Xuerong say, "Isn't that the side hall? Why is it so noisy?"

Jiang Zhengchu was shocked when he heard that, thinking that Yu'er's dowry was still there and the thief hadn't been caught yet. Could it be that he was so bold as to steal the dowry again?

Thinking of this, Jiang Zhengchu didn't care about anything else and rushed over directly. Seeing this, Fu Xuerong hurriedly followed.

"What are you doing?!" Nan Yuanbai, who was having a meal in the front hall, saw Yao Jingtong beside him stand up and wanted to follow him, so he quickly grabbed him and warned him.

Yao Jingtong rolled his eyes: "Can't you use your eyes to see? Of course I'm just joining in the fun!"

As the eldest son of the Yao family, he should have followed his parents to the prince's mansion for the banquet, but he was unwilling to go. If he went, he would be teased by those young masters about his sexual orientation, which was very boring. So he found an excuse and came to the Jiang family as Jiang Xin's friend.

I saw Jiang Xin coming back just now and was thinking about going over to play with him, but he ended up going straight back to his room.

He didn't know many of the Jiang family's relatives and friends, and was feeling bored. He didn't expect that there would be something fun to watch.

"Stop messing around! That's the Jiang family's side hall. How would it look like if you trespassed into someone else's side hall without the owner's permission?!" Nan Yuanbai said unhappily.

Yao Jingtong pushed the man away and snorted coldly: "Who said I was going to break into someone's side hall? I was going to find the toilet. I need to use the toilet. Is that not okay?!"

Having said that, he no longer paid any attention to this sticky person who somehow managed to come to the Jiang Mansion, and happily followed over to watch the fun.

"..." Nan Yuanbai frowned and followed after hesitating for a long time.

That person asked him to come and look after Young Master Jiang. Now Young Master Jiang was not here, and it was possible that he was delayed due to something. It would be better for him to go over and take a look.

*

Ah Gui was indeed the one Xie Ze assigned to Jiang Xin. He was as good as five people. The moment he saw the glass cup, he rushed over. Before anyone could stop him, he quickly took the thing out and held it high, shouting loudly, "Found it! This is the glass cup that our prince gave to the young master!"

Everyone looked at each other in bewilderment: "..." This...

"Jiang Xin! What are you doing?!" Fu Xuerong followed Jiang Zhengchu to the side hall and saw such a messy scene with the dowry boxes all over the floor. She was immediately furious and subconsciously looked at the person who should not be here at this time. She couldn't help but yelled.

If anyone dares to ruin her daughter's wedding, she will never forgive him even if he is protected by a powerful figure!
