"Master Ye, do you believe that this is just a coincidence?"

"What?" Ye Shengxin didn't understand.

"Well, Lord Du and Mr. Wei both pointed out the identity of the thief at the same time."

"Almost at the same time as the maid who came to report that there was something wrong between the Prince Consort and Madam Sanqiu."

If Rong Anle hadn't watched the whole process, she really wouldn't have believed that it was such a coincidence.

"Is that so?"

Ye Shengxin knew the talents of those two people and was not disappointed.

"I really shouldn't be the only one to take this reward."

She knows herself very well.

It would be great if she had a share of this money.

"Anle, do you know why these two people want to steal the property of the princess's mansion?" Ye Shengxin was very curious.

Especially the prince consort, who is the master of the princess's mansion. What good will it do for him to steal his things and create chaos in the princess's mansion?

Rong Anle didn't want to tell this rather secret reason.

But when he thought about what he learned from his mother after returning to the Marquis' Mansion, he realized that the young soldier had died in the battlefield, but there was no news of his body being brought back.

His eyes flashed.

The princess is not ruthless to the young soldier. If Lord Ye can...

Thinking of this, Rong Anle said, "If Lord Ye is interested, you can go to the Princess's Mansion after the court tomorrow."

Ye Shengxin agreed.

Rong Anle glanced at the manuscript on the desk next to him and realized it was a storybook, so he became interested.

"Master Ye, would you be willing to lend it to me for a look?"

Ye Xingxin gave her the manuscript.

Rong Anle took the manuscript and read it from top to bottom with great interest. This Mulan was very similar to her.

After watching the story to the end, Rong Anle was completely satisfied to see that the girl got a good ending by being appointed as an official and given a title, and her fame spread far and wide.

Rong Anle put down the manuscript and prepared to say goodbye and leave when there was a sudden noise outside.

"Sir, the lady is here."

Dongshi trotted over and stood outside the door to report.

Ye Xingxin looked at Rong Anle and said, "Hurry up and leave."

Rong Anle opened a window. There was a bright fire outside the yard. If she wanted to leave, she would definitely be seen.

"No, I can't escape those people's sight." Rong Anle was in trouble.

Dong Shi outside the door urged again: "Sir, Madam said that the master is ill again, and asked you to go over and take a look."

Ye Shengxin frowned, how come this person just happened to be blocking the way?

The outsiders were urging her to come, so she had no choice but to let Anle hide and she went to open the gate.

In the firelight, Ye Shengxin met Mrs. Ye's majestic eyes.

Then he pretended to be calm and asked, "Mother, has Miss Sanchun gone to father's place?"

Madam Ye glanced into the courtyard and asked instead of answering, "Why did you open the door just now? What were you doing in the room just now?"

At this time, a maid behind Madam Ye cried out "Aiya" and said repeatedly:

"The second young master didn't even bother to put on a cloak when he went out in the middle of the night. What if he catches a cold?"

As he said that, he walked towards Ye Shengxin's house.

Ye Shengxin stretched out his hand to stop him, but failed.

The old lady was very nimble and she dodged it in just two or three steps.

Seeing that she was about to walk into the house, Ye Shengxin became a little anxious.

I was also angry at the old lady's cunning and rudeness.

[With such nimble legs and feet, he will fall flat on his face sooner or later. ]

As soon as these words were spoken, the old nanny came in.

Just as those sharp eyes were about to see the scene inside the house, his legs suddenly went weak and he fell to the ground.

It wasn't a big deal that he fell, as he landed head first and knocked himself unconscious.

This extremely strange scene made everyone present silent.

Mrs. Ye looked at Ye Shengxin, who was confused and surprised, with an ambiguous look and narrowed her eyes.

Ever since this man passed the imperial examination and became the top scorer, things that have happened in the mansion have become... more and more bizarre.

Seeing this, Dongshi also felt Mrs. Ye's intention to investigate.

Just now he heard someone's voice in the room, and was afraid that Madam Ye would use this as an opportunity to attack the young master.

He also cried out "Ouch!" and hurried over to half-help the nanny sit down.

At the same time, he swiftly took out a cloak for Ye Shengxin from the cabinet, and took the old nanny out as well.

"Mother, we need to find a doctor right away.

I heard that the bones of the elderly tend to be soft. Madam has been working for the Ye family for many years.

You should pay more attention to your health when you get older."

Ye Shengxin said this in a high-sounding manner and took two steps out of the yard.

"Mom, let's go. My dad must be waiting anxiously there." She urged again.

At the same time, he instructed Dongshi in a neutral voice:

"At night, there are often blind mice walking around.

You stand here and guard the yard, don't let the evil-minded rats run in."

Dongshi responded with a twitching mouth.

Mrs. Ye said nothing and watched the performance of the master and servant quietly.

The situation has developed to this point, and even if she knew that Ye Shengxin had someone hiding in her house, she couldn't break off relations with her.

He sneered in his heart, turned around and took Ye Shengxin to the main courtyard.

Not long after Ye Shengxin left, Rong Anle walked out of the house.

Dongshi, who was standing at the door waiting for her, pointed to the closed gate outside the courtyard and told her to be careful.

Rong Anle nodded.

She was not in a hurry, believing that her mother would come looking for her soon after she found out that she had not returned home for a long time.

As Rong Anle expected, Cheng Yayun indeed arrived half an hour later.

While Dong Shi was not paying attention, a charming wind blew up and hurried away with Rong Anle.

-

Ye Shengxin slept late last night and spent the entire court session in a daze.

The emperor and his ministers tried to prevent Ye Xingxin from waking up and causing trouble again.

The voices discussing state affairs were much lower.

Until Eunuch Lin said in a high voice, "Leave the court."

The ministers breathed a sigh of relief and began to walk towards the palace gate in small groups.

Everyone had received Princess Fukang’s post before.

Now I can go back home, rest up, change my clothes, and then go to the banquet.

Ye Shengxin didn't bother with the etiquette and was eager to know the inside story of the case.

After the court session, he was the first to arrive at Princess Fukang's palace.

Rong Anle followed closely beside him.

When she was taken to the front hall by the housekeeper, she saw the princess and the little princess with red eyes.

The culprit, the son-in-law Chen Wen, sat at the bottom with a sullen face, looking quite righteous.

Madam Sanqiu knelt on the ground with a stern face, the redness on her ears still not fading.

Chen Ping and Chen Rou, brother and sister, stood aside with their heads down, as silent as quails.

Wei Haoguan was groping at the tortoise shell in his hand, and raised his eyebrows when he saw Ye Shengxin hurrying over.

As for Du Weizheng, he really couldn't understand it.

Why did this itching powder delay the onset of symptoms even after taking the antidote? Ye Shengxin got a chance for nothing.

As for Qiao Wenji, he made a misjudgment.

I am still glad that I wanted to listen to Wei Haoguan's answer last night and did not point out that Chen Rou was a thief.

otherwise……

Everyone had their own thoughts, and Ye Shengxin's greeting interrupted everyone's thoughts.

Princess Fukang wiped her daughter's tears, then looked at Ye Shengxin with red eyes.

"The case was solved last night. I would like to thank Lord Ye for finding the thief for the princess's mansion."

Ye Xingxin cupped his hands and said, "Princess, there is no need to do this. This is my duty."

"Lord Ye, you are so good at finding people, can you find Jiaojiao's father?" the little princess requested.

At the same time, he apologized: "Jiaojiao shouldn't have said that you are not smart before. Lord Ye is very smart."

"Can you help Jiaojiao?"

After all the trouble last night, she already knew that Chen Wen was not her biological father.

Although she was not very close to Chen Wen, she still had feelings for him after ten years of living together.

"Jiaojiao!" Princess Fukang scolded her.

"Your father...he's dead!"

"Jiaojiao doesn't believe it. Father has already earned military merits and is a general."

"And Uncle Emperor didn't have his body transported back, so father is not dead!"

The little girl was very stubborn. She had just learned the news about her biological father, so how could he have died?

Impossible, she felt that her father was not dead!

Not wanting to embarrass her husband, Chen Wen, Princess Fukang held back her tears and hugged Jiaojiao:

"It's been ten years. If your father wanted to come back, he would have come back a long time ago."

Jiaojiao struggled out of her mother's arms and ran to Ye Xingxin, tears blurring her eyes:

"Master Ye, Mr. Wei and Master Du both think my father is dead.

But Jiaojiao didn't see her father's tombstone, so her father is not dead, right?"

The little girl's voice choked.

Her mother had burned incense at her father's tablet every day for so many years, and she knew that her mother missed her father very much.

Although she didn't want to hurt Father Chen's feelings, but...

Her mother is more important to her.

Ye Shengxin touched the group leader’s head.

She was not very capable and it took her a lot of effort to find a living person, let alone someone whose life or death was unknown ten years ago.

But this guy is a soldier.

Emotion overwhelmed reason, and Ye Xingxin spoke to the crying mother and son:

"My dear little princess, I promise to do my best, okay?"

"Thank you, Lord Ye, thank you for still believing that my father is alive." Jiaojiao said gratefully.

"Master Ye, this is four thousand taels. It's your reward. Take it."

Princess Fukang was touched by Ye Shengxin's kindness.

Then he took the silver note from the nanny beside him and handed it to Ye Shengxin.

She hasn't forgotten it yet.

Ye Shengxin took it happily.

Princess Fukang gave another three thousand taels to Wei Haoguan and Du Weizheng respectively.

Both of them are heroes in this case. Although their evidence is not as effective as Lord Ye's, she also appreciates it.

After Ye Shengxin took the money, he naturally had to do the job.

"Princess, here is the prince consort..." She asked whether she wanted to arrest the prince consort.

Speaking of this, Princess Fukang glanced at her husband.

She could understand that she could never forget Qin Anjun and the prince consort took out his anger by making trouble in the princess's mansion.

After all, it didn't cause any major trouble, and it was her fault in the first place, so she didn't intend to pursue the matter.

As for Madam Sanqiu.

She just stumbled upon those things a few times by accident and thought that others didn't want them anymore and they weren't worth much, so she picked them up and took them home.

It was not until she learned from the maid that the owner of those things still needed them that she realized she had been treated as a thief.

Later, she took the initiative to go and apologize to her husband, but he used this as a threat, and the two of them became a small gang.

"I don't intend to pursue this matter any further." Princess Fukang expressed her attitude.

After that, he told Ye Shengxin the whole story.

Ye Shengxin listened to the whole thing and stole a glance at the prince consort.

I didn't expect that this theft was caused by love.

But when you think about it, it's really frustrating that your wife is always thinking about someone else.

But I thought of General Qin.

She sighed silently in her heart: [If that General Qin were still alive, he would know that there would be such a big day in the Princess's Mansion today. ]

【I will definitely come and see it. 】

[In this situation, if he accidentally reveals his identity again, the situation will only become more embarrassing.]

[But if he really shows up, I don’t know who the princess will choose to be with. ]

"Master Ye, you..."

Princess Fukang looked at Ye Shengxin and saw that her mouth was not moving, but sounds were coming into her ears.

He stood up in surprise.

"How could you... wuu ...

When Princess Fukang was speaking the following words, her throat became stuck and she suddenly couldn't utter a single word.

"Princess, what's wrong with you?" Ye Shengxin was worried.

Rong Anle and Qiao Wenjie figured out the trick, and Rong Anle gave Qiao Wenjie a wink.

He quickly found an excuse to take Ye Shengxin out.

Rong Anle also took Princess Fukang to a room and explained the reason to her.

A quarter of an hour later.

Princess Fukang's eyes brightened when she thought of Ye Xingxin's words just now.

"Will my Qin Lang really come to Jiaojiao's birthday party today?"

Rong Anle: "...Princess...when the two of you recognize each other, what will happen to Prince Consort Chen?"

Princess Fukang's joy faded a lot and she lowered her eyes.

"He is a good man. It was me who made him like that. I can compensate him with money and a house."

"Marrying him was just a temporary solution, just to give Jiaojiao a legitimate identity."

"My feelings towards Qin Lang remain unchanged."

-

The banquet began soon, and the wives of the gentlemen came one by one to congratulate Princess Fukang.

She was worried about Qin Chengjun and returned absent-mindedly.

Chen Wen looked at his wife who looked dazed. On the surface, he appeared to be a gentle gentleman, dealing with everyone.

But he was laughing in his heart.

Unfortunately, he was found out early and couldn't take revenge any further, otherwise...

"Princess, someone has sent a big gift to your mansion." The housekeeper came hurriedly at this time.

"Did you write down the name?"

"Not yet. The man asked the servant to deliver a gift and left, saying that he wished the little princess peace, happiness and good health every day."

Princess Fukang's heart suddenly tightened.

Will it, will it...

She hurried towards the gate of the princess's mansion.

When the guests in the mansion saw her actions, many of them followed her.

Maybe the princess is in trouble and they can help her.

Ye Shengxin was close to Princess Fukang, so she heard everything the housekeeper said clearly.

She touched her chin with her finger and joked with the system:

[This person did not leave his name, yet he still wished Princess Jiaojiao peace and happiness. Could he be General Qin Chengjun? ]

The ministers who came to congratulate: "..."

Qin Chengjun?

Some people didn't know who this person was, so they asked their colleagues around them.

After knowing that he was Princess Fukang's beloved husband before she got married, she exclaimed.

Wasn't this person dead? How could he come back now?

But looking at the princess like this...

Those who were sitting quietly before suddenly couldn't sit still anymore and found excuses to go to the door one by one.

Ye Shengxin had no intention of joining in the fun. Rong Anle, who was beside her, thought that no matter who was left behind, she must not be left behind.

He just carried her over.

-

Princess Fukang did not find the person she wanted to see at the gate, and the servants and butler who had come to give gifts earlier did not allow them to stay.

Suddenly, disappointment filled her heart, making her feel painful and bitter.

Seeing Ye Shengxin with an innocent and confused expression, she was about to rush over to ask, when Jiaojiao's voice rang out.

"Mother, I caught a man over there on the rockery."
