My bad words were heard by all the civil and military officials in the court

Think of a solution and make sufficient preparations.

The next day, after court, Ye Xingxin visited the princess's residence, wearing her best clothes and some moderately expensive ornaments.

Walking in the princess's mansion, the purse around his waist was bulging.

The jade pendants she wore formed a circle around her waist, jingling when she moved.

Compared to yesterday when he was dressed like an ordinary minor official, today he looks like a nouveau riche.

Chen Ping saw Ye Shengxin dressed like this and walking among the maids and servants, and Jiaojiao followed her and imitated her, interrogating the servants.

With a dark face, he said to Chen Wen beside him:

"Brother, this guy is dressed like this, is he planning to ask the Princess's Mansion for compensation after his things are lost?"

Chen Wen's expression was calm and he said nothing.

Chen Ping added: "Jiaojiao is the same, following behind and making trouble."

"She is so lively, she looks neither like you nor like the princess. I don't know who she looks like!"

"Be careful!"

In an instant, Chen Wen's calm expression broke, dark clouds covered his brows, and his black eyes were cold and intimidating.

Chen Ping paused, frightened by his elder brother's furious rebuke, and subconsciously said something soft:

"Brother, I was just saying it casually. I didn't mean it."

"Brother, you know that Third Brother is not a man of few words, so don't take it personally."

Chen Rou was also frightened by Chen Wen's aura.

After coming back to his senses, he immediately spoke up to ease the situation, and then turned around and taught Chen Ping a lesson in order to appease his brother's anger.

After her elder brother left, Chen Rou finally breathed a sigh of relief and poked Chen Ping's forehead with her finger:

"You, you, why do you have to say these nonsense when there is nothing else to say."

Chen Ping muttered: "Jiaojiao and Big Brother are not very close, I was just... influenced, I just said it casually."

He felt wronged, but he still had to rely on his elder brother for survival, so he had no choice but to bow his head and give in.

Thinking of some rumors, Chen Rou's eyes darkened. She raised her eyes and saw Ye Shengxin looking at her intently, and she smiled again.

"Master Ye, why are you looking at me like this? Do you have anything to say?"

Ye Shengxin touched his nose and blushed a little because he was discovered eavesdropping by the person involved.

"Nothing, I just want to say that I haven't been robbed yet, Miss Chen can rest assured that I won't ask the Princess's Mansion for compensation if my things are lost."

"I'm dressed like this this time, I just want to see how this thief can steal from me in broad daylight with my full defense."

Chen Rou is a bit smarter than Chen Ping, and she sees clearly how Ye Shengxin is trying to lure the snake out of its hole.

Officials who had previously investigated this case had also used this method, but unfortunately to no avail.

She despised him in her heart, but smiled on her face, and responded with a neither soft nor hard tone:

"Lord Ye is so understanding. I thank you on behalf of the Princess's Mansion."

After the brother and sister called the little princess to leave, Wei Haoguan walked over with a wine pot and said something after taking a sip of wine.

"Master Ye, this attire is useless," he shook his head.

Ye Xingxin was puzzled: "Why?"

"Of course it's because I have also used this method before." Qiao Wenji continued.

"The treasure leaves a fragrance, the fluorescent powder finds people, this method that Lord Ye came up with today..."

He wanted to say something that was just a repetition of what others had said, but ended up saying it as a reminder.

"The Princess's Mansion has been robbed for many years. Jingzhao Prefecture has records of this. Lord Ye may want to take a look at it before investigating the case."

Ye Xingxin: "..."

Qiao Wenji's words completely stunned Ye Shengxin.

After a long time, Ye Shengxin came back to his senses from the blow, looked at Wei Haoguan and licked his lips.

"Mr. Wei, how are you going to catch this thief?"

Wei Haoguan smiled mysteriously, "The hermit has his own ingenious plan."

He patted Ye Xingxin's shoulder and said, "When the reward is given, Wei will invite Lord Ye to the restaurant to order some delicacies to celebrate the capture of the thief."

"Then I'll wait and see Mr. Wei show his skills." Du Weizheng said.

This person's reputation is far-reaching, although his words are too relaxed and confident.

He didn't even realize that there was any difference between him and Ye Shengxin in investigating the case.

But what is certain is that he must have some methods of investigating cases that ordinary people don't know.

Wei Haoguan raised the wine pot and said, "Wei is also optimistic about Lord Du's ability."

[System, what should I do? My method doesn't work. ]

The big guys all have their own confidence. In comparison, Ye Shengxin feels that his IQ is really worrying.

Rong Anle also saw through Ye Xingxin's plan. Now that the plan was scrapped, she pulled Ye Xingxin aside and reminded him again:

"Lord Ye hopes that the thief will be caught. Anle would like to ask, how do you hope he will be caught?"

Qiao Wenji, please take a look.

Is the crow's mouth really that magical?

To be honest, if he hadn't seen it with his own eyes, he would still be skeptical.

Ye Xingxin touched his jade pendant with his fingertips, thinking of the five taels of silver that might have been wasted, and said regretfully:

"Of course, we hope that the itching powder can be used to catch that person."

"It would be best if we could let him experience the itchiness all over his body, and see if he dares to steal other people's property again and again."

She sighed: "It's a pity that this won't happen..." Just do as I think!

"Woooo..."

Rong Anle quickly covered Ye Shengxin's mouth and prevented her from saying the rest.

Ye Xingxin glared at this audacious girl.

Although she is a woman, she is a man in public, and she is not afraid of ruining her reputation by doing this.

After receiving Ye Shengxin's gaze, Rong Anle realized his mistake and stopped, and even changed the topic casually because of embarrassment.

That was exactly what she had just heard.

"Although the little princess is not close to Prince Consort Chen, she still looks a lot like him."

The system is puzzled: [How is it similar? ]

It doesn't look like anything.

Rong Anle replied, "The skin is white."

Ye Xingxin: "..."

Ye Shengxin looked at Rong Anle with suspicion, and at the same time questioned the girl's vision.

【What is the reason?】

[If everyone didn't know that the princess and her husband had a harmonious relationship, then based on the little princess's slightly heroic appearance, many people would believe that she was not the husband's child.]

System: [Host, the fact that Prince Consort Chen was so sensitive just now is very suspicious.]

Ye Shengxin exclaimed in his heart and carefully compared the appearance of the father and daughter.

It seems like there is a world of difference.

[It can’t be true. 】

Rong Anle: “…”

She closed her eyes in despair.

I also recalled the rumors about Princess Fukang when she was young.

It is said that she fell in love with a young soldier before she got married.

However, the young officer's official rank was low, and it was just a pipe dream for him to marry the princess.

Therefore, he prepared to go to the battlefield to kill the enemy and make meritorious service.

The two also agreed to seek this marriage when they returned victoriously.

It’s a pity that the battlefield is a place where few people have ever returned from the battles throughout history.

A month after the news of the young soldier's death came, Princess Fukang married her current prince consort.

The couple lived in harmony, as if the young soldier had never existed.

But if Jiaojiao wasn't Prince Consort Chen's daughter...

Rong Anle shook his shoulders.

She can't get involved in this matter, nor does she want to get involved.

On the other side, Qiao Wenjie stood there in a daze.

Speaking of the prince consort, he suddenly remembered something he overheard a maid mention when he was looking for thieves in the princess's mansion a few years ago.

——There is a very small Buddhist temple in the main courtyard of the princess’s mansion.

There is a tablet without a name on it in the Buddhist hall.

The princess would burn incense and worship every day.

The little princess was also taken care of by the princess since she was five years old. She often knelt in front of the tablet and burned incense to worship the person whose name was not left out.

This person's identity...

If Ye Shengxin's bad words were true, Qiao Wenji would take a deep breath.
