A team of soldiers wearing bright yellow armors walked into the Tranquil Heart Academy in uniform.

The strong and steady sounds of kicking, one after another, seemed to step onto the hearts of the people. All the soldiers had expressionless faces and wore their sabers as they charged all the way in, encircling the entire Tranquil Heart Academy to the point that not even a drop of water could leak out.

The sudden arrival of this scene scared all the Young lady and concubines, and their faces turned ashen as they looked at the bright blade, Second Aunt screamed out immediately: "Soldiers, why are there so many soldiers, could it be that Master is in the middle of the court?"

Old Madame Luo's face also darkened slightly. Hearing this, she glanced at her unhappily, but did not say anything. Second Aunt was so frightened by that glance, her body immediately shrank towards Luo Qingxuan.

Luo Qingxuan patted the back of her hand soothingly, and said: "Aunt, don't worry, this is not Yulin Army, nor is it Imperial Forbidden Guard. That's why Daddy is fine. "

In the end, Luo Qingxuan had seen the world. He was able to see through the origins of these soldiers with a single glance, and he even described the panic on Consort Xue as worry for Luo Bingshu.

However, he was right, these soldiers, weren't they Princess Yong Zhao's personal guards?

Yong Zhao was the empress dowager's daughter. Before she got married, not only did the emperor bestow upon her three thousand Li of awarded land s, the empress dowager also bestowed three thousand Li of her personal guards.

Old Madame Luo obviously knew this as well, so she did not show any signs of fear. What was more shocking was the anger on her wrinkled face.

Almost at the same time, Luo Qingxuan finished speaking, from the second gate, a delicate and small embroidered shoes stepped into the high threshold. The person who came, was dressed in a brocade dress, wearing a jade-like golden phoenix footstep, her body swaying in the wind, was also extremely wealthy, but the person who came, was not the Matriarch of Prime Minister's Mansion that everyone had imagined, Princess Yong Zhao.

It was her daughter … Luo Xian'er.

"Xian`er greets Grandmother."

Luo Xian'er brought a group of female servants into the inner room and bowed to Old Madame Luo. Their gazes swept across the crowd and stopped on Luo Wuyou's body for a moment, and the smile on their faces became even wider: "Eh, everyone is here today. That's fine, we don't need to send anyone else from County Princess to invite them."

"Greetings County Princess." Luo Qingxuan immediately bowed towards Luo Xian'er. When the Young ladies and concubines saw this, they hurriedly went to pay their respects.

After Luo Wuyou finished bowing, she kept her eyebrows down and raised her head, quietly standing at the side, observing from the side, as though everything that happened had nothing to do with her. On the other hand, Lv Qing and Tang Yuan who was beside her had panic-stricken expressions on their faces, and Tang Yuan could not help but pull on her sleeves.

The latter only indifferently glanced at her.

That single glance instantly calmed the panicked expression on Tang Yuan's face.

Old Madame Luo looked at Luo Xian'er, her expression did not relax at all, but instead, became deeper: "Where is your mother? Why are you surrounded by my courtyard? "What sort of heinous crime has been committed to making you waste your time with your men? She has actually sent out her personal guards. Is she trying to send me to prison?"

The words of the Old Mistress could be said to be heavy, and she couldn't even call out Luo Xian'er's name. As the matriarch of the Prime Minister's Mansion, she was also someone with a first rank title.

Although Yong Zhao was a noble princess, she was still her mother-in-law. But she didn't expect that her good daughter-in-law would allow her daughter, her granddaughter, to lead people to surround her courtyard.

Truly, this was going too far!

"Grandmother, there is no need to be angry. Mother does not know about this. Mother has long since given these three hundred janissaries to me, and now, they will only listen to Xian'er's orders. "

Luo Xian'er laughed and said, "Xian'Er did not dare to let them surround Grandmother's courtyard, it's just that, this matter is extremely important, and Xian'er came to ask matriarch to take charge of this matter for her granddaughter, it's just that, for the things that Xian'Er wanted to do, she would need a large amount of manpower, that's why she called them over. Grandmother, please do not misunderstand. "

"What exactly is going on? Why do you have to create such a huge battle?" If you can't say anything, don't blame this old one for entering the palace today and allowing the Emperor to administer justice for this old one. " When Old Mistress heard this, her anger did not decrease but instead increased. She thought that it was her good daughter-in-law who did it, but who knew, it was actually her good granddaughter who made the decision.

This was the first time in her fifty years of life that she had been publicly slapped in the face by a junior.

How could she not be angry? How could she endure this?

"Grandmother …" Luo Xian'er's smile faded as the red lips said: "To be honest, Xian'er doesn't want to do this, but our Prime Minister's Mansion is not too clean either. You old woman should know that Xian'er just returned home a few days ago, yet there was a small disciple who did some snooping and actually stole something from this County Princess under the clear sky."

Everyone could not help but sneer. Wasn't it just something that fell to the ground, they just need to send people to look for it, it was too much for them to be scared to death by it, so much that they thought that the Prime Minister was the one who angered Long Yan and got beaten up by the Emperor …

Luo Qingxuan frowned slightly when he heard his. Intuition told him that things weren't as simple as they seemed.

"Then what did you lose and who stole it?" The Old Madame Luo asked.

"If Xian'er knew, there would be no need to be so anxious. It would even alarm the matriarch. " Luo Xian'er said with a face full of anger: "If it was something else that was stolen, then it's fine, but if it's not, Xian'er thinks that she is unlucky. However, that gold medal was bestowed to Xian'er by the Royal Uncle, and it's an item that was bestowed by him".

As Luo Xian'er's words fell, everyone's minds buzzed, and in an instant, an alarm was sounded. Stealing Imperial Gold Medal, that was a capital offense, and if found out, there was a possibility of them sitting together.

Everyone's expression was that of panic. They looked at each other, guessing what was going on.

At this moment, it was as if everyone around him was a thief who had the guts to do so.

Even Old Madame Luo was startled.

Just that, Luo Xian'er seemed to think that the expressions on the faces of the crowd, was not fear enough, and said: "Not only is the order badge a gift from the emperor, the person holding the order badge can also freely enter and exit the palace. Xian'er is not afraid of anything else, she is afraid that the person who stole the order badge has ulterior motives, if he truly took Xian'er's order badge and entered the palace, whether it was a trap or not, or even, if he wanted to assassinate Royal Uncle, I am afraid, our entire Prime Minister's Mansion would …"

Needless to say more, if the order badge really was stolen by someone, it would be for the sake of assassinating the Emperor. Not to mention the thief, even in the entire Prime Minister's Mansion, it would be hard to escape from this calamity.

"I really don't know what kind of wicked bastard he is, to actually dare to steal from the Prime Minister's Mansion, and even dare to steal from the County Princess. He truly borrowed courage from the heavens."

"That's right, we must capture him and hand over the person who stole the dog's soul to Ministry of Punishment and betray him. No, we must cut him into pieces, and if he dares to harm our Prime Minister's Mansion and not hack him into pieces, that would be letting him off easy."

"Luckily County Princess found out about this early. If it really came to that, I'm afraid all of us would have buried that person."

"Yeah, this bastard is too hateful, stealing his gold is not good, he didn't steal his gold, isn't he trying to harm us?!"

"…"

Everyone was anxious as they discussed amongst themselves. The women began to curse under their breath as they saw how ridiculous everyone's words were and how they were getting more and more outrageous.

"Bang ~ ~ ~"

Old Madame Luo immediately smashed the ground with her jade crutch and shouted angrily, "Why are you all making such a ruckus? Even if the sky falls, this old one will carry it for you. What are you all in such a hurry for? "

The person who spoke suddenly shivered, then Old Mistress looked towards Luo Xian'er and said: "Xian'er, you said that your Imperial Gold Medal fell, but where did it fall from? Any suspects? "

"Grandmother, please tell me that when Xian'er returned home, she only chatted with a few of her sisters around the Lotus Pond for a while. That was when it disappeared." As for who exactly it is, even Xian'Er doesn't know. "

After saying that, Luo Xian'er's gaze swept across the few of them. Being glanced at by the eyes, the expressions of Luo Mingxi and Luo Mingzhi instantly changed, and they knelt in front of Old Mistress.

"Grandmother, I've never made any cheese. Really, I haven't. I …" Luo Mingzhi was extremely afraid, seeing that everyone was looking at her with doubt, his entire body trembled uncontrollably, and she could not help but cry out loud.

However, Luo Mingxi said with an angry look, "Grandmother, please explain, this matter has nothing to do with Ming Zhu. Even if Ming Zhu was given a hundred guts, Ming Zhu wouldn't dare to steal the County Princess's order badge. Mingxi didn't even know how to steal the golden plate, what's more, what's the use of this granddaughter taking the order badge? This was clearly someone else's doing. Yet you intentionally falsely accused your granddaughter and daughter. "

Compared to Young Mingzhi who was helpless and could not even speak clearly, Luo Mingxi's brain was much clearer. In her heart, however, she was full of regret. If she knew earlier, she wouldn't have gone up to join in on the fun. In the end, not only did she fail to join in on the fun, she even provoked a ruckus.

"That's right, Old Mistress, Xi'er has always been obedient and would never do something so outrageous. Didn't County Princess already say that other than Xi'er, there were still other misses present, I hope that Old Mistress can find out about this matter, uncover the real culprit and return the innocence of the Second Miss?" Consort Wan also knelt down and helped her daughter speak.

Regardless whether Xi'er had done it or not, they could not admit it now. The mother and daughter pair could not bear the guilt of stealing the bestowal.

All in all, now that things had gotten out of hand, she could just push the blame onto someone else.

"Old Mistress, Fourth Miss has always been a coward, she doesn't even dare to step on ants, much less take advantage of people. Please take the lead, Old Mistress." Consort Ping also kneeled on the ground crying as she looked at Old Mistress with a pleading expression.

Four people with four mouths. All of them were talking about exonerating. And Consort Wan's words, had more hidden meaning.

Everyone knew that other than Luo Mingxi, there were two other people at the Lotus Pond that day. One of them was Luo Mingxia, but she had been sick twice when they went to the Lotus Pond at sunset.

Other than Luo Mingzhu and Luo Mingzhi, everyone knew who the remaining suspect was.

For a moment, everyone looked at Luo Wuyou.

Even her grandmother, Old Madame Luo, who had a smile on her face a few days ago, was looking at her with a dark and gloomy expression. There was not a single trace of sympathy in her cloudy and imposing eyes, and not a single person stood out to argue for her.

Under the crowd's burning gazes, the girl had a smile that was like the spring wind on her lips. She stood up straight like a winter plum tree.

"What are you all looking at me for? Could it be that you all suspect that the so-called thief was me? Grandmother, could it be that even you do not trust Wuyou? "

After a long while, the red lips raised her head and spat out words that were as cold as snow. Her last sentence was like a winter's cold wind blowing across the wilds of the endless wilderness, bringing with it an eternal sorrow.
