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

Ning'er's face changed drastically: "What!"

She didn't care about anything else and said hastily, "Excuse me for a moment." Then she rushed into the innermost room, climbed onto the embroidered bed in a panic, and reached for the secret drawer embedded inside with trembling hands.

Ning'er's heart was in her throat, afraid that she would get nothing.

It wasn't until her fingertips touched the uneven patterns on the lacquer box that she breathed a sigh of relief. Fortunately.

She sat cross-legged on the edge of the bed, carefully took out the box, and untied the dark black square scarf with red gold patterns.

Ning'er gently lifted up the box, and found a frosty white ring-shaped jade ring with a broken eye, and a white jade Qilin pendant tied with a gold wire rope, still lying intact inside.

Fortunately, they were all there, and she finally felt relieved and put the things back as they were.

Ning'er gradually calmed down and laughed at herself for worrying too much. Of course, the thief had been targeting the old lady's treasures when he committed the crime, so there was no way he would be interested in her things.

Ning Er turned around and said to Xiang Ming apologetically, "I'm sorry to have embarrassed you, sister."

Xiang Ming smiled and said, "What's the big deal? I came here eagerly to tell you, young lady, just to alert you."

She turned around and told the maids in the room: "Once night falls, you must guard the door tightly. No matter what noise you make, don't open it easily. Protect your girls well."

Lingzhi Chuncao and the others were all facing a formidable enemy and responded with stern faces.

Seeing them like this, Xiang Ming comforted them, "Don't be too nervous. You live in the old lady's courtyard. If something like this happens, the guards in Song Shou Hall must be the most strict. As long as you control the servants, you can rest assured."

Ning Er said gratefully: "Thank you, Sister Xiang Ming."

Xiang Ming held her hand and said, "Miss, you might as well wait for the Marquis to come back and thank him instead of me. You don't know how much the Marquis missed you when he left the capital. He repeatedly told her to put your affairs first."

She smiled and circled around Ning'er, saying jokingly, "That's a warning from head to toe, from head to toe, from head to toe. It's just short of putting a note on our heads."

Ning Er blushed at this, and she sighed, "Speaking of which, the Marquis suddenly went to Daonan, and there has been no news for so many days. How can we be at ease?"

Xiang Ming came closer and said, "Young lady, please wait a little longer. I estimate that the Marquis will have news in the next few days. I will give you a copy when the time comes."

Ning'er walked her out of the courtyard before returning to the house with a serious expression.

Chuncao frowned: "It's really scary, how come there was a thief in the house?"

Ning Er held the pillow on the kang and sighed quietly, "The Marquis' Mansion is heavily guarded and well-prepared. We are not afraid of any thieves. What we are afraid of is that we don't know whether it is an external thief or an internal thief!"

----

To be granted a fiefdom was a major event that could not be undertaken lightly for a family like the Xinyuan Marquisate.

The ban was passed down, and except for a very few people, all entry and exit badges were temporarily surrendered, and all keys to the doors were locked. All internal and external traffic in the mansion was not allowed without the owner's personal permission.

A solemn and murderous atmosphere spread rapidly in the mansion. Within almost an hour, the maids and servants who used to shuttle back and forth between the second gates disappeared.

In Guiyi Hall, Madam Luo and Madam Liu looked at each other in bewilderment. She said to Xiuyu in a deep voice, "Seal the mansion? What does this mean!"

Xiu Yu stood in front of Madam Luo and bowed, "Madam, this is what the old lady meant. The thief is now unpredictable, and in order to ensure the safety of everyone, we need to catch him as soon as possible, so we ordered the mansion to be sealed and thoroughly investigated."

She glanced at Madam Liu with some embarrassment: "Of course I know that Madam Liu has nothing to do with it, but the ban has been issued, I hope Madam will forgive me."

Luo Miaoyun's expression was indescribably ugly. She gritted her teeth and said, "No matter how thoroughly you investigate, is it possible that you can find someone in my courtyard? Madam Liu is my wet nurse. I can guarantee that she has nothing to do with the thief. Send her out immediately! I will explain everything to the old lady later."

Xiuyu bent even lower, and she called Madam earnestly, "It's not that I'm unreasonable, but now all the doors and windows are locked. No one can enter or leave without the Madam's personal order."

Mrs. Luo held Mother Liu's hand and said firmly, "What a joke! I will personally send her out, who dares to stop me?"

Xiu Yu actually knelt down before her and said, "Madam, please have mercy on me. If you move, this Feng Mansion that has been in turmoil will become a joke."

She begged, "I just ask you to keep Madam Liu in Guiyi Hall for one night. Tomorrow morning, once I have a clue, I will come and escort Madam out in person. Then, no matter how you punish me, I will not say no."

Madam Luo shook her hand off abruptly, her chest heaving with anger: "Xiu Yu, you rely on the old lady's love for you, and now you don't even take me, your legitimate master, seriously!"

Xiu Yu kowtowed repeatedly and said, "I will die a thousand times. When the thief is brought to justice, Madam, if you want to punish him, I will not hesitate."

No matter what Luo Miaoyun said, Xiu Yu refused to give in. She stood firmly at the door, determined not to let even a fly out.

Finally, it was Madam Liu who stepped forward to break the deadlock. She whispered to Luo Miaoyun, "Forget it. I, an old woman, will shamelessly spend the night with you. Please don't quarrel with the old lady because of me."

Seeing her say this, no matter how dissatisfied Mrs. Luo was, she had to grit her teeth and accept it.

Xiu Yu kowtowed several times and said a lot of sweet words before she left Guiyi Hall with many thanks.

There were several strong and capable servants standing outside the hall. She winked at them and whispered, "Guard them all. From now until tomorrow morning, even the Marquis' wife must be stopped inside."

In Songshou Hall.

Madam Zhu was full of sorrow. The other maids had finished their tasks. When they saw Xiuyu coming back, their foreheads turned red. She must have run into trouble with Luo Miaoyun, so she quickly asked, "What happened?"

Xiu Yu lifted her hair and said with a smile, "Fortunately, I have fulfilled my mission. Today, a young lady named Liu came to Guiyi Hall. If I had been a quarter of an hour later, Madam would have sent her out. Finally, after much persuasion, she is now staying in the hall."

Old Madam Zhu waved her hand, signaling the others to go outside and guard. Xiu Yu hurried over and helped her sit down.

She then asked with some concern: "Does Miao Yun have any suspicions?"

Xiu Yu said gently, "Don't worry, old lady. If Madam had become suspicious, she wouldn't be so angry."

She raised her hand and pointed at her forehead: "From what I see, it seems that she really believed our words, but she was greatly offended by the lady and embarrassed her in front of her own nurse. That's why she is angry."

Madam Zhu's face was as gloomy as water. "No matter how angry I am, there is nothing I can do. In extraordinary times, extraordinary things should be done."

"As long as we don't find the spy hiding in the mansion, what's the harm to her?"

Xiu Yu said: "If the Marquis knew about the good intentions of the old lady, he would definitely be very grateful."

Madam Zhu thought carefully for a moment, and suddenly a thought flashed through her mind, causing her to speak in a panic: "You say, Chongyan is not doubting Miaoyun, right?"
