Facing a series of questions from the servant.

Chen Zhiru held the box tightly and shook her head: "I don't know, I didn't see it."

The servant was stunned. Although he was watching from a distance just now, the thief was clearly standing in front of the window.

How could I not see it at such a close distance!

Before he could think about it.

At this moment, a deep and serious voice came from behind: "What on earth happened!"

Everyone looked back and lowered their heads: "Sir."

The person who came was the Prime Minister.

The prime minister just glanced at Chen Zhiru through the window.

After a pause, he walked to the main entrance.

Seeing the Prime Minister coming, the maids quickly unlocked the door.

The prime minister stepped into Chen Zhiru's room, followed by servants and maids.

However, the prime minister turned his attention to Chen Zhiru.

When looking at the box in the other person's arms, his eyes narrowed slightly.

I couldn't help but ask, "I heard that there were thieves in your yard? What's going on?"

Chen Zhiru's expression quickly regained its composure.

He explained slowly, "Father, I didn't see any thieves. I think the servants were dazzled."

The Prime Minister was slow to respond.

However, that gaze was always on Chen Zhiru.

Suddenly, he set his eyes on the box in the other's arms.

Before he could speak.

Suddenly, a few servants appeared outside the house.

The servants replied, "Sir, we can't see where the thief ran to, we lost him."

Chen Zhiru's face showed obvious relief.

At this time, Jiang Wanqing, who was being nagged by the servants, turned around and walked back after shaking off those servants.

Jiang Wanqing leaped forward and squatted silently on the crooked tree opposite the house, taking in the entire scene in front of him.

The prime minister glanced at the servants behind him and said, "I think you are dazzled. You have caused such a big commotion for nothing. At this hour, there is no such thing as a thief or not."

The servant said subconsciously: "But, there was clearly a figure in black just now..."

Before he could finish his words, the prime minister turned around and slapped the boy hard.

The servant boy endured the pain, lowered his eyes, and quickly knelt on the ground.

The prime minister withdrew his hand, his face solemn: "Let me ask you again, what did you see just now? Was there a thief?"

The servant finally realized what was going on.

He quickly shook his head and said, "Your Excellency, I didn't see anything just now. Just a few summer cicadas flew over. We are here to catch them."

The prime minister frowned, but his expression relaxed a little.

Apparently, he was quite satisfied with this answer.

The prime minister then turned his gaze to the other servants and maids.

He asked, "What about you? What did you see just now?"

The servants shook their heads and said in unison: "To answer your question, sir, nothing happened."

The maids also echoed nervously: "We have been guarding the young lady's door just now. It has been very quiet and there has been no sound."

The Prime Minister nodded and looked at everyone: "In this case, you should remember what to say and what not to say! Go wait outside the door!"

Upon hearing this, the servants and maids hurriedly left the house.

Suddenly, the whole room seemed emptier.

Only then did Chen Zhiru breathe a sigh of relief, thinking that the matter was over.

But unexpectedly, the next second, the Prime Minister's words made her nervous again.

"Zhiru, didn't you say there were no thieves? Why did they all see the thieves?"

Chen Zhiru was stunned, her face became a little stiff.

He opened his mouth and said, "Father, you...you are joking, they just said that they didn't see any thieves."

The prime minister suddenly laughed in anger: "Do you really think that your father is a fool? When I first questioned them, they all said that they saw the thief.

If I hadn't forced them, how could they say they hadn't seen it? So, who were you with before?

Do you know that I am the one cleaning your ass now? "

The prime minister was certain that Chen Zhiru would become a person second only to the emperor in the future.

Therefore, she must not leave any stigma.

If today's incident was spread by someone with ulterior motives, and if people said that the thief was a man, Chen Zhiru's reputation would be affected.

How could such a person marry into the royal family?

His attitude towards those servants and maids just now was nothing more than wanting to take this opportunity to shut their mouths and ears.

Don’t say what you shouldn’t say, and don’t listen to what you shouldn’t listen to.

Chen Zhiru didn't dare to answer, but just held the box tightly in her arms.

The Prime Minister shouted, "I'm asking you a question! Chen Zhiru?"

Suddenly there was a loud noise, and Chen Zhiru was obviously frightened.

She raised her head cautiously and looked at her father.

There was a hint of pleading in his eyes: "Father, since they all said that they didn't see any bad guys, you should just assume that they didn't hear or see anything."

The Prime Minister's eyes widened in disbelief.

Suddenly he laughed out loud: "Great! You are awesome! Now, you actually want to learn all my skills of fooling others and let me be one of them too? Chen Zhiru! When will it be your turn to fool me?"

Chen Zhiru’s face turned pale and she quickly shook her head.

Biting her lip, she said aggrievedly: "Father, that's not what I meant... How dare your daughter fool you? I..."

Before Chen Zhiru could finish her words, the prime minister stretched out his hand and pointed at the box in Chen Zhiru's arms.

He asked again: "So, what are you holding?"

When Chen Zhiru saw her father's gaze and put the box in her arms, she couldn't help feeling a little guilty.

He explained carefully: "These...are all little gadgets I bought. I was just too bored being locked up in the room by myself, so I was looking for these for fun."

Upon hearing this, the Prime Minister slowly raised the corners of his lips.

I couldn't help but joked, "Chen Zhiru, do you really think your father is a fool? If that's the case, and you're so bored, then open the box. I, as your father, will accompany you to while away the time."

Upon hearing this, Chen Zhiru couldn't help but retract her grip again.

He opened his mouth and explained, "Father, it's getting late today, you should go back and rest first."

Chen Zhiru was beginning to want to expel the person.

After hearing this, the Prime Minister did not reply.

The next second, he was ready to turn around and leave.

Just when Chen Zhiru breathed a sigh of relief.

The prime minister suddenly turned around and rushed towards Chen Zhiru.

He snatched the box from Chen Zhiru's arms.

Chen Zhiru subconsciously wanted to snatch it.

Unexpectedly, the Prime Minister threw the box to the ground...
