After the heroine was robbed, save the paranoid villain

After dinner, Yan Yu went to take a shower and change clothes. Xiao Chengji still had some things to deal with in the yard. It was obvious that his staff were discussing things with him.

Yan Yu didn't bother Xiao Chengji anymore and let him go first.

Anyone with a discerning eye can see that, although Xiao Chengji is now a prince, the emperor is training him as a crown prince. Xiao Chengji's current treatment is similar to that of the crown prince, and he is surrounded by a group of people to give him advice.

Xiao Chengji was a little annoyed with those people, but he was afraid that something might really happen, so he had to leave Yan Yu behind and go over.

"Go to sleep first." Xiao Chengji said, "If there is nothing else, I will come back to accompany you later."

Yan Yu nodded.

After Xiao Chengji arrived at the Cangfengtai, Huo Ha said, "Your Highness, I asked them to wait outside the study."

"Is it still about the Zheng family?"

Huo Ha lowered his voice and said, "They said it was a local matter and they were in a hurry to tell you, otherwise they wouldn't dare to disturb you so late."

Xiao Chengji nodded and let someone into the study.

It turned out to be related to Bo Feng's disaster relief in the south.

Before, Zheng Shu was in charge of Zhenyu Province. All officials, both high and low, were members of Zheng's party. Over the course of a few years, he embezzled millions of taels of silver.

This time, there was a frost disaster in the south that had not been seen for decades, and the government was unable to provide money.

While dealing with disaster relief matters, Bo Feng was also looking for evidence of Zheng Dang's corruption.

At present, Bo Feng still needs the court to allocate money and grain for disaster relief, otherwise more people will freeze to death.

But Zheng Can was determined to make things difficult for Xiao Chengji and obstructed the allocation of funds and grain in various ways.

After Xiao Chengji discussed these things with his subordinates, it was already past midnight.

He asked all these people to disperse and came out of the study himself.

The moon was as cool as water. Huo Ha followed Xiao Chengji and knew that Xiao Chengji was going to the princess's residence.

Over the years, Huo Ha has been following Xiao Chengji like he is now. He entered the palace when Concubine Bo was still alive. He has witnessed all kinds of things in the palace and knows how this young prince grew up.

In the past years, Xiao Chengji was alone and never cared about anyone. It was rare to be like this now.

Yan Yu fell asleep two hours ago. Her place was quiet, without even the sound of a cat's meow.

Xiao Chengji took off his clothes, got on the bed, hugged her and closed his eyes.

The next day, after Yan Yu had breakfast, Huo Wang had some things delivered, including antique vases, calligraphy and paintings, as well as some weapons.

Yan Yu thought the person looked familiar and asked Huo Wang to bring him over to take a look.

Ningxia held them one by one and brought them to Yan Yu to show her.

Yan Yu took a magpie climbing a plum red jade glass vase and said, "This one looks very familiar. I remember when I was a child, there was a vase of this style in my father's room. Nanny, take a look, is it exactly the same as the one in my father's study?"

Yan Yu's nurse came forward to take a look and said, "They look exactly the same."

Huo Wang smiled and said, "Your Highness asked someone to find these things and give them to the princess."

It is indeed something from the Duke Zhenguo’s Mansion.

After the Duke of Zhenguo and his two sons died in battle, the direct line of the Wen family was left without a male heir.

When Yan Yu's mother Shao died, the only one left in the Zhenguo Mansion was Yan Yu, a four-and-a-half-year-old master.

Even though Yan Yu was a young master, at such a young age, he couldn't stop so many branch relatives from eyeing him covetously.

Yan Yu's father was the general with the most outstanding military achievements since the founding of the Wei Dynasty. Even though he had passed away ten years ago, his reputation still intimidated the soldiers of enemy countries.

The Emperor showed great favor to the Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion and bestowed countless rewards. At that time, apart from the Zheng family, which had two queens, the Wen family was the most prominent.

All the members of the Wen family died, leaving behind enormous wealth and titles. All the relatives were eyeing them covetously, eager to get a piece of the pie.

These people had no special abilities and no official positions, and were not even remotely related to the Duke of Zhenguo, but they were in the same family tree after all and had a common ancestor.

Seeing that the master was gone and only a young child was left at home, the servants of the Wen family discussed with their relatives to steal a lot of things and let everyone get a share.

Later, these people clamored to take Yan Yu to their homes, to raise Yan Yu and to manage the Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion on their behalf.

It was not until the emperor intervened and ordered the Shao family to come to the capital to take Yan Yu to Lingcheng that these people gave up.

In the days before the Shao family came, these relatives and some servants had basically stolen everything that looked valuable.

Sometimes in front of Yan Yu, they felt that Yan Yu knew nothing and continued to act recklessly.

Yan Yu had been weak since childhood, and he became even more ill after his mother passed away. Everyone thought that Yan Yu would not live long and would not remember this incident, so they all ate and took away his property.

Xiao Chengji ordered his subordinates to get all of Yan Yu's things back, no matter what means they used.

In fact, after so many years, some small items - such as some jewelry of Yan Yu's mother - have long been lost. Some fell into the hands of these people's families, some were given to their lovers, and some were pawned.

But large items, such as vases, paintings, calligraphy and jades, which are not easy to move and some of which are not easy to circulate, are still in these people's homes. Because the items are precious, these people are afraid that they will become worthless if they are broken or damaged, so they are kept as treasures.

Even if it is taken away from a pawn shop, you can get it back.

Yan Yu smiled and said, "How did you find it? Are they willing to return it?"

Huo Wang shook his head and said, "Of course they didn't want to. They all shouted that it was their family heirloom, and some even boasted that it was inherited from the Duke of Zhenguo Mansion. They were like scoundrels. The Duke of Zhenguo Mansion didn't have such relatives... Anyway, they came back in the end."

Xiao Chengji didn't care whether anyone would be forced to death in the process. These people took advantage of Yan Yu's young age to rob things, so they deserved to be forced to death.

He has never been a kind-hearted person. If Xiao Chengji was not afraid that Yan Yu would be angry if he knew about it, he would have killed all those who robbed the Wen family.

No matter how cruel and ruthless Xiao Chengji was, at least he would not harm innocent women and ordinary children. But this group of people took advantage of the death of Xiao Yanyu's parents to rob a little girl of her things.

If the emperor had not intervened, these people might have killed Yan Yu so that they could inherit all the property of the Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion.

Yan Yu really didn't expect that these things in his home could be returned.

Our prince is so omnipotent that he can make any impossible thing possible.

Yan Yu looked through the things he had brought back one by one, and many vague images from the past appeared in his mind.

"Put them all away." Yan Yu said, "Send my father's weapons and these calligraphy and paintings to the prince's study. Give them to him. These stationery will be placed in my study, and the rest will be recorded and stored."
