The second princess, who had just scolded Ji Ming, returned to the palace. Her anger had not yet completely subsided when Lord Cao came to her for training with bad news.

"You actually let Xue Duanhua get away? You didn't even find a piece of royal cloth?"

The second princess couldn't believe her ears. She could have captured Xue Duanhua and taken control of the Left Prime Minister's Mansion at the same time, thus instantly getting rid of Xue Duanzheng, the great threat who knew too many secrets.

I never thought it would be so strange. Such a sound plan went wrong at some point!

Yuwen Yuehua paced back and forth on the stage, unable to figure out what was going on.

"How is it possible? Rong'er told me a few days ago that she had been to that dark room. How could so many pieces of fabric disappear in an instant?"

Feng Ronger was arrogant to begin with, and with the guarantee of her aunt Yuwen Yuehua, it was no wonder that she could wear or change the imperial fabrics whenever she wanted.

Little did she know that she was just a pawn of Yu Wen Yuehua.

Cao Biran did not dare to be in a daze, but he still made a mistake in the end. After thinking about it carefully, he suddenly had an idea!

He knelt heavily in the center of the hall and bowed, "I also feel it's strange, but someone saw Miss Xue go to the shop before, and she was seen outside the shop again today, so it must be related to her."

"She?" Yu Wen Yuehua stopped and looked at Ji Ming, who was not brave enough to look up after being slapped by her, and her doubts gradually disappeared.

But ever since Miss Xue's intelligence was restored, she has been constantly causing trouble everywhere. Could it be that I really underestimated her in the past?

"Forget it! Fortunately, you have already captured Miss Xue Er, so start with her and interrogate her carefully! And find all the things that were found, one by one!"

Hearing that Yuwen Yuehua would not pursue the matter any further, Cao Biran finally breathed a sigh of relief, "Please rest assured, Your Highness, I will definitely find out something about Second Miss Xue!"

"And..." Yuwen Yuehua's lips curled up slightly, "Since Xue Duanhua is now on the run, as a fugitive of the court, we should search for him with great fanfare! The Left Prime Minister has always been an honest man who put justice above his relatives, so naturally he should be rewarded!"

With Yuwen Yuehua's advice, Cao Biran immediately grasped the key to the warrant for Xue Duanhua's arrest. "Your Highness is wise. I will do it right away!"

The wanted order was secondary. The main thing was to let everyone know that it was the righteous Left Prime Minister who betrayed Xue Duanhua.

By then, the old lady in the Left Prime Minister's Mansion and the people from Mr. Xue's family will definitely make a big fuss. It will be easy to find leverage over a family that is in chaos from the inside out.

After receiving the order, Cao Biran immediately issued a wanted order for Xue Duanhua. Every word between the lines exaggerated that it was because of the integrity of the Left Prime Minister that the case of selling imperial fabrics was uncovered!

Here Yangyang dragged his tired body back to the house.

Only then did he realize that the main door outside the mansion was closed and complaints were heard from inside.

The last time this scene happened was when the Ke family came to cause trouble not long ago! Who would have thought that only a few days had passed, and another group of people had come!

"What is this...?" Yangyang stopped in the garden and felt her ears buzzing as she listened to the noisy sounds in Chenxi Hall.

Xiao Tao, who was hiding in the corner, quickly came forward, looked around, and then held Yang Yang's hand, "Miss, someone from the Second Master's family is here, and together with the old lady, they are forcing the Master to go to the Jinglin Division to seek justice!"

Yangyang looked at Biluo on the other side. The two of them were confused. "Ask for an explanation? What explanation?"

"Jinglin Division has just issued a wanted order, and also said..." Xiao Tao did not dare to delay and explained the situation briefly.

"Lord Cao is really going too far!" Yangyang understood after hearing this. He was simply forcing her to either find Xue Duanhua as soon as possible, or else make the entire Zuo Xiangfu rest in turmoil.

Yangyang lifted her skirt and strode towards Chenxi Hall.

The old lady who was crying loudly on the seat of honor and the old man with wrinkles and bulging veins opposite her must be the legendary Mr. Xue.

Seeing Yangyang coming, Mr. Xue seemed to be in high spirits. He patted the table beside him heavily, and his eyes passed Yangyang and looked at the left prime minister sitting below.

"Zheng'er! You are a high official now! You can handle everything, but a little girl is causing trouble everywhere. Humph! It is really unfortunate for my family."

This Mr. Xue, no wonder he still wants to take a concubine at such an old age, he is really full of energy!

Are you worthy of being an elder if you gossip like this in front of your father?

"Second Grandfather, there is no need to humiliate my father. He is a man of integrity and responsibility, unlike some people who are two-faced and treacherous!"

Yangyang has been very quiet these past few days, so he is naturally upset and speaks without restraint, not to mention that he is his father, the person he cares about the most.

But the left prime minister looked impatient and said rudely, "Shut up!"

Yangyang was stunned for a moment, and looked at Zuo Xiang with a hint of resentment in her eyes.

This hint of complaint made Yangyang feel wronged and surprised. For a moment, tears welled up in her eyes and she was speechless.

The old lady took the opportunity to say, "Zheng'er! Now that Qingqing has been arrested, you have to take Hua Ge'er's matter to heart even for your own sake! How can you be so confused!"

Yangyang couldn't bear to see her father being misunderstood, so she swallowed her grievance and said, "It's not my father's fault. This matter was planned by the Feng family and Mr. Cao..."

Before he could finish his words, Zuo Xiang stood up, and because he was too strong, the stool fell to the ground with him. "How dare you! What nonsense!"

"Drag the young lady away and make her kneel in the ancestral hall. Do not let her out without my permission!"

Zuo Xiang waved his sleeves. It was the first time that Yangyang saw her father scold her so inhumanely.

She stared with her big eyes in disbelief as several old women pulled her up. "I can walk by myself!" She shook off the old women's pulling!

Seeing that Zuo Xiang no longer looked at her, Yangyang walked towards the ancestral hall alone with a disheartened heart.

Until I kneel before the tablet,

Looking at those names that couldn't be more unfamiliar, Yangyang smiled sadly, "I was too immersed in the role! I deserve it!" The more she thought about it, the more wronged she felt. Her eyes couldn't help but turn red and tears flowed.

It was so quiet that the only sound she could hear was her own sobbing, followed by the creaking sound of someone pulling the window frame.

"Who is it!" Yangyang turned around and saw a familiar figure jumping in from the window. "Why are you here?"

The man approached, squatted down, and followed the light of the night oil lamp to try to see Yangyang more clearly. "Are you crying?"

Yangyang wiped his sleeves and said, "It's none of your business!"

Seeing Yangyang was in a bad mood, Tang Yuwei knelt down beside him with a half-smile on his face, "Are you blaming me for not showing up during the day?"

Yangyang turned away and said, "General Tang is very capable! How can I blame you? You are almost as powerful as a great god. You know everything!"

"It would be inappropriate for me to come forward, not to mention that you make me angry!" Tang Yuwei took a look, raised the corner of his mouth, and tentatively expressed his resentment!

As expected, Yangyang turned around and said, "Why are you so angry? Why didn't you tell me earlier that you are so good at calculating? I shouldn't have embarrassed myself everywhere!"

Facing Yangyang's questioning, Tang Yuwei seemed rational, "Then why didn't you tell me right away, but acted on your own! Do you know how dangerous it is?"

"I don't want to trouble the general with everything, I don't want to cause trouble for the general, I don't want to be so useless." I don't know what happened today! Yangyang's nose was sore as he said, "I don't want to..."

“Alright!” Tang Yuwei grabbed Yangyang and held her in his arms, as if he was holding a porcelain vase that was about to break. He was afraid it would fall if he held her lightly, and that it would break if he held her too hard. “My tone was too harsh just now!”
