The Master of the Prefecture [7]
âYou, you are speaking nonsense! I didnât stuff my pockets with the resources. How come you guys are searching through my things?â Housekeeper Zhou raised his neck, not letting them search through his things no matter what!
Dong Ling stated: âWhether if there is or not, we will find out once we take a look! Housekeeper Zhou, later on, Princess wants you to take people to search the other rooms. If you are not able to convince the masses, who will let you search them later on?â
Housekeeper Zhouâs face was pale white. The cold sweat dripped down and he secretly took a look at Concubine Qin as well as Xiao Yuan Cheng.
Concubine Qinâs face was pale white to its extremes. Xiao Yuan Cheng was also infuriated, turning around to Huang Bei Yue: âHow come you want to search the rooms all of a sudden?â
This matter, this girl had never mentioned it in the past! It was sudden that they were now unexpected!
Huang Bei Yue laughed in her heart. Of course, she needed to do this suddenly. Otherwise, she will notify them earlier on so that they can be prepared and hide all the items?
âThis matter, I had also only thought about it recently. Before, I just remembered so I let Dong Ling to go do it.â Huang Bei Yue raised her head, smiling as though nothing happened. There was not a look as though she had plotted this before.
âHousekeeper Zhouâs personality, I believe him. He is someone that my mother had left, making him stay. He absolutely wouldnât be stuffing his pockets and colluding with outsiders to harm the prefecture of Princess Zhang.â
Xiao Yuan Cheng was silent. The body was faintly trembling. The anger was about to explode!
âSince you believe him then there is no need to search! Housekeeper Zhou is an old man of the prefecture. Now that you do this, wouldnât this harm everyoneâs feelings?â
âThat is also true ah. But now that so many boxes are carried out. If we donât search it, everyoneâs heart will probably not be convinced.â After she finished, Huang Bei Yue raised her eyes. The cold gaze faintly swept from the front hall to the yard to all the servants and maidsâ bodies.
Everyone who interacted with her cold and icy glance all moved back. They harshly gulped their saliva.
âDoes everyone think there should be the need to search or no?â She picked up the teacup and slowly opened her mouth, inquiring.
Those maids and servants all looked at each other. In the end, they all surrendered under Huang Bei Yueâs powerful imposing manner, all nodding their heads.
âAfter searching the housekeeper, we will then be convinced!â
âRight, we definitely need to search it!â
Xiao Yuan Cheng really wanted to clap his hand on the table, dragging these servants who had moved to the other side and slaughtering them!
But once he saw this type of situation, in Xiao Yuan Chengâs heart, it was also in chaos. All the things in the boxes were private treasures from the prefecture of Princess Zhang.
He saw that they were pretty good so he took them all out. One part of it, he left them down to keep for himself. Another part of it, he told housekeeper Zhou to look after them. These two days, he was going to go around to form relationships with others, gifting the bosses gifts in order to steady his position in the military.
Conveniently, his position as the Emperorâs son-in-law should be raised as well. All these years, could it be that his whole life, he could only be the Emperorâs son-in-law?
He had already let housekeeper Zhou make movements on the account books. Many gold coins were also transferred out. Little by little, it was all stored in Lan Mu Card, ready to be sent out.
Now, all these things were locked in the boxes. If they were to search the boxes, wouldnât it be revealing that he had been making housekeeper Zhou making fake account books?
It really was Godâs plans supersede our own. He shouldâve placed the items in the space ring. But in the past, he had been thinking about gifting them to people so he had taken them all out. Plus, how could he have possibly thought that Huang Bei Yue would suddenly change as a person?
However, it wasnât that easy for Huang Bei Yue to search it either. The keys to the boxes, he had been personally keeping them. This type of heavy locks and metal boxes were especially used by noble families to hide items. It was not easily opened.
