C9 On Account

When night fell, Chu Nianhe left Xiaochan and Xiaoling and went to bed alone early.

It was just after midnight when the window of the room creaked softly and a shadow leaped in. There was no girl keeping watch in the room, and the dark figure was quite bold. Borrowing the faint moonlight, he quietly walked towards Chu Nianhe's collapsed edge.

Before he could open the curtain, a faint fragrance drifted over. The black shadow chuckled and said in a low voice, "Esteemed Miss Chu, I'm here!" He then threw himself onto the bed!

He had calculated it right. Chu Nianhe would never dare to shout loudly for the sake of her reputation! Unexpectedly, the bed was only covered by a soft blanket, and Chu Nianhe wasn't lying on the bed!

Before the shadow could panic, the door to the room was opened. A bunch of Maid servants rushed into the room, yelling at each other to catch the thief.

After the group of people hurriedly tied up the already scared black shadow, Chu Nianhe walked in with Xiaochan and Xiaoling. She was dressed well and looked as if she hadn't slept at all as she ordered coldly towards the side, "Take off the veil of this daring thief!"

Xiaochan, who was standing at the side, had long been infuriated. She first kicked the man in black a few times, then tore off his veil! After seeing his appearance, Xiaochan viciously said, "Yo, isn't this Sima Yu, the one who fooled around with Second Young Master every day?!"

"He is indeed an old acquaintance," Chu Nianhe sneered. "Tie up his veil! "If you have something to say, go ahead and say it in front of Father!"

With that, he asked the manservant to drag the terrified Sima Xian to Third Madame Madam Su's courtyard. Hearing the ruckus at the door, Madam Su was quickly supported out by her wife with questions in her mind. At first glance, she caught sight of Chu Nianhe, who was standing at the door with a pair of shining eyes.

"What are you doing in my yard so late at night?" Madam Su said impatiently. Chu Pingke hadn't been in her yard for a long time since Chu Nianhe broke the trap she set for him. Today, she finally managed to coax Chu Pingke over, but she never expected that this girl would come to cause trouble again.

"Save me, quickly save me!" When the man in black on the ground saw Madam Su, he shouted loudly as if he saw his savior.

Only then did Madam Su notice that there was a man in black crouching on the ground. The voice sounded familiar, but she could not recall who it was. She asked curiously, "Who are you?"

Chu Nianhe winked at him. The manservant at the side hurriedly stuffed a piece of rag into Sima Yu's mouth, causing him to cry out 'wuu wuu'. He was no longer able to speak.

Only then did Lili shed a few tears, and she cried out to Madam Su with a sorrowful face: "Third Aunt, this thief actually snuck into my room today, wanting to do something bad to me! Fortunately, I had been busy in recent days embroidering my grandmother's purse. I had been in Maid's room discussing embroidery with Xiaochan, or else I would have been abused by this wicked person! Third Aunt, now that my mother is not in the manor and my grandmother is not back yet, you must uphold justice for Nianhe! "

Hearing Chu Nianhe's crying, Madam Su finally knew the whole truth. While she was silently cursing the uselessness of this thief, she had actually failed! At the same time, he pretended to be kind and said to Chu Nianhe, "Nianhe, you don't have to be afraid, since this thief dares to intrude into Prime Minister's Mansion at night, he's probably tired of living. I'll go tell your father right now! "

Saying that, he said a few words to the woman beside him, who then went into the house. After a short while, Chu Pingke came out.

"Father!" Chu Nianhe ran to Chu Pingke's side with a sorrowful expression and threw herself into his arms.

Chu Nianhe had just turned fifteen. Although she was young, she always had the demeanor of a lady from a noble family. It had been a long time since Chu Pingke saw his beloved daughter so terrified. He couldn't help but yell at the crowd, "Did you guys take good care of our eldest miss?!"

No one dared to raise their head. Madam Su quickly put on the look of a manager's wife and said to Chu Pingke, "Nianhe said that a thief had broken into her room and wanted to do something to her! You see, Nianhe is not frightened, master. We must cut them into pieces! "

That's what I want from you! Lili secretly sneered. She raised her pear-stained cheeks and said to Madam Su, "Nianhe felt much more confident now that Third Aunt has put it that way."

She lowered her head pitifully and said, "I don't know if this thief has any accomplices, but when I came out of Maid's room, I saw a black shadow scurry over. Father, please do it together, otherwise, my daughter won't dare to go back to the yard!" Saying so, she started to sob again.

Chu Pingke was furious and shouted, "Take off the veil of this savage thief! I want to see who exactly is so audacious! "

Xiaochan nimbly took off the thief's veil, and Sima Yu's face immediately entered Madam Su's eyes. This scene shocked her to the core, wasn't this her nephew?!

Chu Pingke glared at Madam Su at the side, and walked forward a few steps in hatred. He kicked Sima Yu's chest and shouted at the servant in the yard, "Fight against this rascal! and then sent to the magistrate court to be dealt with! "

Usually, this Sima Yu relied on Madam Su's nephew to tease little Maid within the Chu Mansion, and even brought her around to play. Chu Pingke had long since been dissatisfied with Madam Su. But thinking that Madam Su's task of controlling the Prime Minister's Mansion was rather arduous, she didn't pay any attention to it. She didn't think that it would cause such a commotion today!

When Madam Su heard Chu Pingke's harsh treatment, she quickly kneeled down and pleaded with a shaky voice, "Master, my nephew is usually mischievous and does not know the seriousness of the situation. Please spare him since he is still young!"

Chu Pingke's eyes were filled with a sinister luster as he said in a heavy tone, "This old man only knows how to be frivolous to a woman. What's there to be proud of in the future?"

Madam Su quickly said, "It's all because I didn't teach him well. Please, on account of him being my nephew, let me punish him lightly!"

Chu Nianhe frowned and sobbed softly, "Third Madame just said she was going to cut this criminal into pieces. Why did she change her mind now?" Could it be that my innocence is not as important as your nephew's? "

"You!" Only now did Madam Su realize that she had fallen into Chu Nianhe's trap. For a moment, she felt both regret and hatred as she glared fiercely at Chu Nianhe, as if she wanted to tear her to shreds.

Seeing this, Chu Pingke slapped Madam Su's face. "You!? This really disappoints me! "

Chu Nianhe saw that the atmosphere was just right, so she expressionlessly signaled to Xiaochan. Xiaochan then quietly took the cloth off of Sima Yu's mouth. Sima Yu suddenly shouted as if he was grabbing on to a lifesaver, "Uncle, Uncle, it was Yinqiu who told me to do this, it wasn't me!"
