Chu Chengji lowered his eyes to look at him, and Jiang Yanqing looked at him with eagle-like eyes, feeling guilty.

Wait, what a guilty conscience.He was just passing by, he didn't go in, and he knew it was Hualou, so he was about to leave immediately.

Moreover, Chu Chengji's posture is obviously to visit the flower house, okay?He just went to the Marquis Mansion to propose a marriage, but he came here to flirt with women, and was caught by his concubine who is waiting to be married. It should be Chu Chengji who has a guilty conscience!

Thinking of this, Jiang Yanqing suddenly gained confidence, puffed up his chest and raised his neck, showing a bright smile: "My lord, come out to play?"

Chu Chengji was stunned by this smile, then coughed, and said in a low voice: "I have business to do, what are you here for?"

"Business? What business?" The bustling crowd around him strengthened Jiang Yanqing's courage, and he teased, "Solve physiological needs?"

Chu Chengji frowned, took a step forward, and a huge figure pressed over him.

Jiang Yanqing retreated subconsciously, Chu Chengji stretched out his long arms, and put his palm on his lower back to stop him from retreating.

"I said, I have business to do." Chu Chengji's dangerous voice sounded in Jiang Yanqing's ear: "Why are you here?"

Goosebumps all over Jiang Yanqing's body, and he was scared again: "I, I'm just passing by, passing by."

"Passing by?" Chu Chengji squinted his eyes: "I heard that the Hou Mansion was stolen early in the morning. I didn't expect the third son to be so leisurely. It seems that the lost things are not important."

Jiang Yanqing's heart trembled, and his eyes widened immediately: "You, you really put eyeliner in my house!"

Chu Chengji smiled without saying a word, his eyes full of amusement.

The posture of the two of them was too ambiguous, and passers-by cast curious glances.

Jiang Yanqing broke free from Chu Chengji's control uncomfortably, and took a few steps back, his face flushed slightly.

Chu Chengji's smile faded, and his eyes gradually became dangerous.

A man dressed as a servant suddenly ran over on the street and whispered something in Chu Chengji's ear.

Chu Chengji nodded, and took another deep look at Jiang Yanqing: "You haven't gone back yet, are you waiting for the king to invite you in for a drink?"

Jiang Yanqing glanced sideways at the girl at the gate of Xianlou with her waist twisted, and immediately shook her head: "No, no, there's no need, I'll go back right away."

Chu Chengji ignored him, and whispered instructions to the servant, who kept nodding his head to express his understanding.

Jiang Yanqing saw that he really had something to do, and he was bored here, so he decided to go back to the Hou Mansion.

After all, there is still a mess waiting for him in the Hou Mansion that he created.

For the first time, Jiang Yanqing experienced the feeling of finding someone to ask for directions when he was at home.

After making a few detours, Jiang Yanqing stood outside the gate of the Hou Mansion.

Although the gate of the Hou Mansion looks old, it is still very grand.Jiang Yanqing can't go through the main entrance, but can only enter through the side door.He knocked for a long time before someone came to open the door for him.

Anyway, he won't live in the Hou's mansion permanently, Jiang Yanqing refuses to suffer from being dumb, not to mention he has the status of the prince's fiancee by his side.

"Why did it take so long to open the door?" Jiang Yanqing asked.

"It turns out that the third young master has returned." The old man Li wiped the sweat from his brow, "A thief broke into the warehouse, and we are searching it now."

Jiang Yanqing asked calmly, "Have you caught it?"

Old Uncle Li shook his head, "I didn't find out, but there is a rope made of bed sheets in the storeroom, and Madam is checking it from yard to yard."

Jiang Yan made up his mind, he had already thought of a way to deal with the bed sheets.He thought for a while and asked again: "Do you know what is missing?"

He only took a bracelet and a cup, so he should not be found.

"I didn't lose anything else. Fortunately, my wife was careful. I checked it carefully with the dowry list and found that two things were missing."

"How is it possible? Just take two of the stolen things? Besides, with so many things, if the palace makes a mistake, it might be possible to give away two less?"

"If it's something else, it's fine. If you lose it, it's a gift from the emperor. When the emperor ascended the throne, he gave it to the prince of Chu. If you lose this thing, most people can't afford it." Old man Li shook his head and sighed, " Lord Hou dare not hide it, he has already sent someone to the palace to accuse him."
