The First Auxiliary Road from the Imperial Examination

Chapter 1274 Questioning

Sheng Yuan was very familiar with the furnishings of the study in the Yongxing Marquis' Mansion. She could easily find rare antique paintings and calligraphy, important letters and valuable keepsakes.

Therefore, Sheng Yuan looked at the empty copper box in front of him, his face changing color: "It is indeed empty!"

"But...how did uncle know?"

What An Yu asked was exactly what Sheng Yuan was puzzled about.

Just then, the sound of a child crying was suddenly heard outside the yard.

Suddenly, the sudden sound was like a flash of lightning, dispersing the fog in Sheng Yuan's mind and awakening her unintentional memories.

"Brother Yun!"

Sheng Yuan thought of her father's complaints from a few months ago, and immediately stared into An Yu's eyes and said, "Last autumn, when we were drying books in the sun, Yun Ge'er saw it and made a fuss about wanting to help. Dad couldn't persuade him, so he picked out some easy tasks for him to do.

Who would have thought that he was so naughty that he jumped around and overturned the treasure cabinet where things were kept, causing the freshly wiped copper box to fall down, and the token also fell out of the box.

Afterwards, Dad kept regretting the token that had been scratched. He was upset that he forgot to lock the box, and also upset that he didn't put it back in place immediately after wiping it clean. He sighed for a long time.

Because of this, Shu took Brother Tao and Brother Yun to the nursing home and said several nice things to him, but his mother couldn't stand it and scolded him, and the matter was finally put to rest."

"So, Shu Shi may have known the location of the token through Yun Ge'er? Eh?! Yuan Jie'er! Yuan Jie'er?! Where are you going?" Before An Yu finished speaking, he saw Sheng Yuan rushing out and immediately followed her. He was afraid that Sheng Yuan would not be able to control her temper and attack Shu Shi, but Shu Shi seemed to be afraid that Sheng Yuan could not find her, and actually rushed to Sheng Yuan by herself.

"Sister Yuan, what right do you have to replace all the managers of the Marquis' Mansion? I am the wife of the Crown Prince who is in charge of the household affairs of the Marquis' Mansion!"

As soon as An Yu caught up with Sheng Yuan, he saw Shu rushing in front of Sheng Yuan and questioning him, and he immediately slapped himself on the forehead.

"Brother Tao and Brother Yun want to eat freshly made milk cakes from the Western shop on Middle Street, peach preserves from the candied fruit family on Front Street, and sour fruit cheese from the Western Region restaurant every day... If you don't allow servants to enter and leave the mansion, how can we buy these foods?!"

Shu held a child in one hand and questioned Sheng Yuan angrily, speaking so fast that An Yu had no time to calm Sheng Yuan down.

"Why can't they survive without eating these things?" Sheng Yuan originally wanted to settle the score with Shu, but she saw her two nephews following her, so she suppressed her temper. She didn't expect that before she got angry, the other party took the initiative and ran in front of her to make trouble. She couldn't hold it back anymore.

Yun Ge'er, who was originally crying with his mouth open, was so frightened when he saw Sheng Yuan looking at him that he immediately stopped crying... half because he was really scared, and half because his brother covered his mouth.

"You! You you you! What are you talking about?!" Shu frightened Sheng Yuan and the two children so much that they were speechless. She was so angry that her whole body was shaking.

But before she could scold him, Sheng Yuan walked over first, looked down at Tao Ge'er and Yun Ge'er, and locked his gaze with hers: "Shu, were you the one who told Sheng Xiangya the location of the token?"

"You! You you you! What are you talking about! I don't understand!" Upon hearing this, Shu's eyes flashed with panic and she quickly denied it.
