"Little beauty, you said Chu Xiang is here to catch the traitor, what should I do?"

Catch a bastard! Chu Qinghuan was about to roar. The reason Chu Siyuan came was definitely because Chu Changxi had told on him.

Outside the Thousand Shadow House, there was a sea of lights.

"Prime Minister, that thief ran out from the backyard of the study and disappeared without a trace." The torch-wielding guard pointed at the Thousand Shadow House door plaque, his eyes swollen with fire.

Chu Siyuan's face was grave, but just as he was about to speak, a burst of chirping sounds came from not too far away.

"Mother, Sixth Sister lost something yesterday and didn't dare to reveal it to anyone. Today, she lost something from Eldest Sister as well. This thief is way too daring. Mother, when you catch her, you must punish her severely!"

Chu Changxi's voice came from afar, and she was currently crowded around the First Madame.

"Old master, why are you here as well?" Looking at the dozens of guards behind Chu Siyuan, he could not help but ask, "Could it be that the front yard has also met with Thief?"

Chu Siyuan nodded, and his gaze landed on his Thousand Shadow House.

Thieves in the backyard? What a coincidence.

No wonder Chu Changle lost something yesterday, it was all part of First Madame's plan. Using the reason of searching for the lost object, they searched Thousand Shadow House. Coincidentally, Chu Wenzhang was here at the time of the search.

The Thousand Shadow House was a taboo in Chu Siyuan's heart, when the time comes, First Madame would definitely stir up trouble for Chu Siyuan, no matter if it was for the family or kneeling down at the ancestral hall, she would definitely take revenge for Chu Wenyu. Of course, he could also throw the dirty water onto his own body.

It was no wonder that First Madame didn't object when she asked Chu Wenzhang to stay at the Zilan Academy, and actually thought of this step.

However, she never expected that Ji Fengye wasn't the only one with his in the Thousand Shadow House, he actually also existed as well. Chu Qinghuan turned her head, but her lips touched a wave of ice-cold softness.

"It's not enough for a little beauty to throw herself into my arms. To think that she would offer me a kiss. This Director is truly pleasantly surprised."

Chu Qinghuan suddenly realized that she had accidentally kissed the monster! Fortunately, it was pitch black and Ji Fengye couldn't see anything.

"Then does Prince have a reward?" She lowered his voice, but his ears were constantly vigilant of anything outside the Thousand Shadow House.

Ji Fengye seemed to be dissatisfied with her multitasking. He rubbed her ears and said: "Then can I give the beauty map I found in Chu Xiang's study to the little beauty?"

Study room?

Portrait of Beauty?

"Then the Thief is you?" Chu Qinghuan raised her head in shock, and just happened to meet Ji Fengye's unfathomably deep phoenix eyes. The corner of his eyes seemed to be burning with a mana ball of sand.

"Of course it's the Regional Commander." The corner of Ji Fengye's mouth slowly rose as a smile flashed past his eyes. It was as if being a Thief was also something that was pleasing to the eyes.

Outside, the footsteps grew heavier, and the torch drew closer and closer to the main house.

"Search carefully, don't miss anything, and let the Thief escape." First Madame's voice was as serious as Chu Siyuan's. Just as Chu Qinghuan wanted to speak, she was suddenly dragged out of the ground by Ji Fengye.

"My big brother, he …" She said softly, but Ji Fengye bit on her ear, "One more time, this Regional Commander can lend a helping hand."

Lecher!

Sitting on the beam, seeing that the torch was getting clearer and clearer, Chu Qinghuan steeled her heart, closed her eyes and approached him, but... Her lips felt cold.

She suddenly opened her eyes, only to see Ji Fengye shaking his head, and his lips kissing his fingers.

On the ground, a figure flashed by and instantly vanished without a trace.

Chu Qinghuan then calmed down, the servant holding the torch had already pushed open the old door, and suddenly the room was lit up.

Chu Siyuan and First Madame came in one after the other, but their expressions were different.

Chu Qinghuan looked down from above and coincidentally was hiding in a blind spot, allowing him to see their expressions clearly.

Chu Siyuan's gaze was complex and profound, as though it carried a tinge of guilt.

The Madame Song, on the other hand, was much simpler. It was fierce and fierce like raging flames, as if wanting to burn this Thousand Shadow House into nothingness.

"Master, Madam, there's no one here."

"Prime Minister, no one is here."

"Madam, there's no one here."

"…"

First Madame's eyes were filled with disbelief, "How can … Search carefully, don't fall anywhere for the Thief to hide. "

She carefully looked at Chu Siyuan, only to see him snort coldly and walk out with his hands behind his back.

Very quickly, his Thousand Shadow House returned to normal.

Chu Qinghuan wanted to get down, but she was carried in someone's arms and she was only able to get rid of a lot of dust after a long time.

"What did you do to him?" She did not mention his surname, but Ji Fengye knew who he was.

"Naturally, it's to return to somewhere to cool off." As light as a feather, Chu Qinghuan's heart slowly calmed down. Forget it, it was already good that I was able to dodge First Madame and Chu Siyuan's pincer attack tonight.

It would be fine to bring Big Brother here in the future. After tonight's events, the First Madame would probably hate this Thousand Shadow House to the bone and would no longer guard it so strictly.

"Thank you, Prince, I just wonder if you can send Qinghuan back with just a little effort?"

"Oh?" Ji Fengye slightly raised an eyebrow, his face carried a bit of a smile, "The Yunan City Sun family?"

Chu Qinghuan's heart skipped a beat. She was so close that she couldn't see the other party's expression, but she could tell from her tone that something was off.

She had heard Huangfu Jing talk about the methods of Imperial Guards in his previous life. It can make a living person beg for death, but it can also make a dead person speak.

Moreover, the Sun family still had one person who wasn't dead. Mother Liu, I let her live.

"Prince must be joking. Qing Huan is a person of the Prime Minister's Estate."

Even if she went to the Yunan City later on, it was only because she was sent there. Ultimately, she, Chu Qinghuan, was still a Second Miss of the Prime Minister Palace.

His chin was suddenly pinched, and his eyes flashed with a bright light. It was the gentle light of the Night Pearls.

She looked at the face that was almost within reach, and couldn't help but be stunned once again.

Under the light of the Night Pearl, Ji Fengye's eyebrows became even more enchanting. This couldn't help but cause her to recall some rumors. Some people said that the reason His Majesty was so fond of this eight thousand year old was because of his good skin …

"What, are you infatuated with Bundle?"

Chu Qinghuan smiled slightly, "Qinghuan will naturally be impressed by Prince's elegance." His tone and expression were extremely sincere.

Ji Fengye laughed with satisfaction, "That's true, under the heavens, who is not convinced by their commander's grandeur?" There was a trace of disdain in his eyes. He actually had the spirit of an emperor pointing at a mountain.

Chu Qinghuan silently cursed, but on the surface she was smiling like a dog.

The two of them were once again silent, and in the end, it was Chu Qinghuan who broke the deadlock.

"Prince, it's getting late. Look at you …"

Ji Fengye glanced at her, but his hands were still around her waist, "What, this little beauty is giving me the order to expel her?"

Just as Chu Qinghuan was about to explain, he said again: "This Governor remembers that a few days ago, someone actually ordered me to expel a guest.

Chu Qinghuan heard from the Nanny Zhou that half a month ago, the Ministry of War Assistant Minister, Chen Daoyi, had scolded him, causing him to stay at the Ministry of War yamen for eight thousand years. In the evening, the Chen family entered the Imperial Prison, and the Chen family members all entered in unison.

"Qing Huan is ignorant and ill-informed, making this Prince a joke. It's just that Qing Huan wants to ask if it's convenient for this Prince to send Qing Huan back."

After Ji Fengye heard this, he stared at her intently. After a long while, he revealed a puzzled look, "Is this little beauty inviting the Regional Commander?"

Invitation my ass!

Chu Qinghuan almost could not hold back swearing.

He threatened her life when she ordered him to leave.

When she returned to the Zilan Academy, he actually said she invited him?

Which of his ears had heard him invite him? She had clearly said 'let,' not 'send'!

Ji Fengye looked at someone who was about to explode, and a hint of joy flashed past his eyes. To be able to see the hair on the girl's head explode was indeed good for her physical and mental health.

"Prince heard wrong, Qing Huan did not …"

"Shh, be quiet." Ji Fengye covered her mouth, his index finger lightly pressed against her lips, "Chu Xiang has not gone far, it would be terrible if she comes back."

He actually threatened her with this! Chu Qinghuan was so angry that she felt itchy at the bottom of her heart, and seeing that the person in front of her was someone she could not afford to offend, she nodded with difficulty and moved her head a little, then said slowly: "Prince is right, we should not stay here for long, Qing Huan should go back first."

Ji Fengye actually nodded and brought Chu Qinghuan down with him, calmly landing on the ground. Not even dust was stirred up, "That's right, this place is indeed not suitable for people to swear oaths under the moon, little beauty thinks it through."

What the hell!

Damn it all!

After landing on the ground, Chu Qinghuan immediately pulled away from him. Just as she was about to turn around and leave, a person suddenly appeared in front of her at lightning speed.

It was the red-clothed female who scolded him earlier on when he was born in Old Mistress, and she seemed to be called Zhu Yuan.

"Mistress, the Madame Song's people have gone to the Zilan Courtyard."

Chu Qinghuan immediately glared at Ji Fengye. If it wasn't for him dragging his feet and nagging him for a long time, would he have been in such a passive position?

Chu Wenzhang had escaped the First Madame's trap with great difficulty, and now it was himself … Chu Qinghuan's mind moved, his body suddenly became light, the Thousand Shadow House was already the scenery behind her.

The First Madame was in the midst of someone knocking on the gate to the Zilan Academy, the old gents guarding the gate looked at each other. They knew about this, the Second Miss had told them to keep the gate, but they never expected that the First Madame would actually come.

Seeing that the door had yet to open, Nanny Chen knew that there was definitely something fishy going on, she took a step forward, "Hurry and open the door!"

Just as she finished speaking, a servant ran over breathlessly, "Madam, that Thief has broken into the Wind-Wave Pavilion."

First Madame's face suddenly changed, but there was no movement from the Zilan Academy, which made her suspicious, and confirmed that it was Chu Qinghuan's plan, "Nonsense, I clearly saw Thief coming to the Zilan Academy."

"Madam, Xiang …" The servant had a bitter look on his face.

"If you say more, be careful of your tongue!"

The servant is suffering, but the Prime Minister is coming over! He kept his face red, afraid that the First Madame would promise him what he said, so he didn't dare to say a word.

"Mother, the Zilan Courtyard is so clean and clean. There isn't any Thief, maybe Mother was mistaken." A low, hoarse voice came from the courtyard, but the gate was not opened.

"Second Miss?" She could not help but look at First Madame, only to see that she too, had a face full of hesitation. That voice just now was vague and carried a slight trembling, but it somehow felt like it wasn't Chu Qinghuan herself.

"What does Nanny Chen have to say for herself?"

"Second Miss, it's like this. Eldest Miss and Sixth Miss threw some things away, and this servant has followed Madam's orders to look for Thief. I hope that you can cooperate a little."

Just as she finished speaking, a laugh came out from the courtyard with a hint of ridicule. "Nanny Chen, are you saying that people from my Zilan Courtyard have stolen from Big Sis and Sixth Sister?"

Just as he was about to retort, a hoarse voice came from the courtyard, "If Nanny Chen cannot find this Thief, what should I do?"

Chu Qinghuan's voice had always been clear and bright, with a hint of determination. Such a hoarse and vague tone made people outside somewhat suspicious, but if it really was a servant girl in the courtyard, who would have the guts to?

Nanny Chen looked at First Madame for help. Her eyes were filled with determination, as if she had arranged everything beforehand.

The gate had yet to open, so Nanny Chen was certain that the one who was speaking inside was not Chu Qinghuan. His voice also carried a bit of determination and contempt, "Second Miss, this servant has indeed seen Thief enter the Zilan Courtyard, and Second Miss has yet to open the gate. Could it be that he wants to shield that …"

Before she could finish her words, the gate to the courtyard suddenly opened!
