After His Majesty was reborn, the poor little girl in his previous life was spoiled to death

Luo Miaoyun's reaction was so intense that even Ning'er couldn't help but look up at her.

With a look of fear and anxiety on her face, she said anxiously, "Absolutely not."

Old Madam Zhu's eyes slowly moved to Madam Luo's face. She had not said a word no matter how lively Ye Zhen and Huaping were talking, but finally she spoke quietly:

"Why not?"

Mrs. Luo suddenly opened her eyes wide and said aggrievedly, "Mother! Are you suspicious of Miaoyun too?"

Madam Ye coughed twice and continued in a soft voice, "Madam, you misunderstood. My intention was just to search the courtyards while the bad guys were off guard. I definitely did not intend to target you or Gui Yi Hall."

Madam Luo said impatiently: "Ye Zhen, since you keep saying that you have received my kindness, why don't you think about repaying your old master, but instead add insult to injury at this time?"

Ye Zhen seemed frightened, with tears in her eyes: "Madam, you are too kind! Others may not know, but don't I know your character? It is because I firmly believe that you have nothing to do with that villain that I dare to take the risk of admonishing the master."

She glanced at the old lady with some embarrassment: "To prove our innocence, why don't we all stay with the old lady? In order to avoid suspicion that someone has made other arrangements in secret or leaked the news privately."

This is really a mixture of true and false statements, and she said it all by herself.

Ning'er watched their witty words and couldn't help but sigh in her heart, who would have thought that Aunt Ye, who was usually so gentle and silent, could be so eloquent.

However, no matter how sweet her words were, even an outsider like Ning'er could tell that Aunt Ye was hinting in her words that the villain was related to Guiyi Hall and was even hiding there.

Mrs. Luo's reaction was also quite strange. If she was really innocent, why would she be afraid of being checked? From the look of her, it seemed like she had something unspeakable behind her back that she was afraid to show in front of others.

Ning'er sat in her seat, wishing she could bury her head in her chest. Although she didn't know why Aunt Ye was so sure that she was willing to offend the mistress she relied on, such an occasion was not something she, a junior, could stay in.

It would have been fine if Shen Chengying and Shen Ruyao were there, since the case involved their biological mother and grandmother. But Ning'er, an outsider with no relatives or friends, was forced to stay and listen...

Shouldn't they be asked to stay away to save the elders' face? Ning'er was so embarrassed that she couldn't sit still. Why did she ignore the honor of the elders and the dignity of the Marquis's mansion?

Just when she thought that Old Madam Zhu would come out to smooth things over, make a few mild rebukes, and then let the matter go.

The old lady nodded to Xiu Yu and said, "Let them go and see what happens." It seemed as if she was really persuaded by Aunt Ye and wanted to take this opportunity to check everyone's yard.

Mrs. Luo was very embarrassed. She looked at Zhu in disbelief and said, "Mother, how could you listen to the words of a maid and not care about the dignity of the mistress at all!"

Upon hearing this, Madam Liu hurriedly grabbed her sleeve. The young lady was so anxious that she started to speak without thinking. Wouldn't it anger the old lady even more and make her suspicious if she said this at this critical moment?

Just at this moment, an unexpected person stood up.

He walked silently into the hall, bowed politely to the old lady, and then turned to ask Aunt Ye: "Excuse me, Aunt, is the murderer you saw a man or a woman?"

Ye Zhen looked at Shen Chengying in astonishment. She didn't expect that at this moment, he would be so perceptive and ask such a question.

Luo Miaoyun saw Shen Chengying intervening, but she was even more anxious than Ye Zhen. She hurriedly said, "Ying'er, why don't you sit back down! You don't need to speak here."

In just one breath, thousands of thoughts flashed through Aunt Ye's mind. A gleam of light flashed in her eyes, and when she spoke again, she already had an idea.

She ignored Mrs. Luo's reaction and said seriously, "Master, it was so stormy and late at night. I could only see that the man was wearing white clothes, was extremely agile and nimble, and was quite tall. As for whether it was a man or a woman, it was really hard to tell."

Shen Chengying was not very old, but he had already risen like a bamboo, with a sense of elegance. He stood beside his mother and asked, "Oh? In that case, how could Auntie be so sure that the victim was a woman?"

Ye Zhen said calmly, "Of course it's because the cry was so high-pitched and shrill. Anyone who heard it would know it was definitely a woman."

This scene was really weird. As the two asked and answered each other, Ning'er almost thought she had come to the trial scene, watching the lawyer and the plaintiff arguing with each other.

For the time being, it seemed that Aunt Ye had the upper hand, but then Shen Chengying asked a very tricky question.

He placed his hand on his mother's shoulder in a soothing manner, stopping Mrs. Luo from speaking: "Then according to what Auntie saw, the man in white was the one who lurked in Songshou Hall and stole Grandmother's treasure?"

Aunt Ye's eyes sharpened for a moment, and Shen Chengying's question hit her sore spot accurately.

While these people were confronting each other, Xiu Yu and Old Madam Zhu exchanged glances quickly with each other.

If what Ye Zhen said was true, then there was no need to think too much about the answer to this question; it must be no.

Because they knew in their hearts that there was no so-called thief who stole the treasure from the beginning to the end!

Aunt Ye coughed a few times and said, "Master, from beginning to end, I have never seen the thief. How can I know if he is the one who stole the old lady's treasure box?"

"But," she said slowly, "the white shadow moved erratically, almost like a ghost... I guess he couldn't have carried the old lady's treasure box with him - otherwise, how could he be so light and agile while running in the rain?"

Faced with such an almost impeccable answer, Shen Chengying was silent for a moment, then turned to Madam Zhu, bowed again and said: "Grandma, according to what Auntie said, there are at least two groups of people in the mansion at this time. The villains' intentions are hard to predict, and they are lurking in the dark, which is really dangerous. There are many women in the mansion, and my father is away from Beijing..."

"It is not appropriate to disperse the guards at this time," he knelt on one knee and said in a deep voice: "Grandson is willing to lead reliable people out of the house immediately to report to the Central City Military Department and the Patrol Battalion to allocate government troops. I hope grandmother will approve it!"

As soon as the words were spoken, everyone in the room was shocked!

Ye Zhen looked at Shen Chengying in amazement. She didn't expect that when he saw that he couldn't find any loopholes in her words, he would resort to such a trick to cut off the source of the problem!

If she really did what he said, no matter how much she urged him, the old lady would not easily go to check everyone's halls and courtyards. Even if she had all kinds of calculations and back-ups, they would all fail in the end!

Aunt Ye's eyes turned deep. How could a person as corrupt as Luo Miaoyun give birth to such an outstanding son? I really don't know whether it was because God was blind or because her Luo family's ancestors had accumulated virtues.

She thought of her own son An'er who died young. He was also so smart and clever. If he were still alive, he would probably be very tall...
