The daughter-in-law of the cold father and the hot concubine

chapter 21

"Really?" Yan Hongxuan narrowed his eyes slightly and looked at the two yamen servants.

"For the younger one, see the prince, and see the waiter of An Ding." The two yamen servants were shot by his cold eyes, and when they saw the jade ornaments on their waists, they quickly knelt down and saluted.

"Get up." Yan Hongxuan lifted his chin, and then looked at the rich man next to the yamen servant, "You are the one who reported the case because you disappeared?"

The shopkeeper surnamed Wei also knelt on the ground, "My lord Huixian, the villain reported the case, this woman..."

"How much money is missing?" Before he could finish speaking, Yan Hongxuan interrupted his words in a cold voice.

"Prince Huixian, the little one is missing 170 taels of silver."

Yan Hongxuan looked sideways, raised his hand and suddenly took off the burden on Chu Yuliang's shoulders, and handed it to two yamen servants, "Take it and count it."

Seeing this, the two yamen servants quickly took over the burden.

Chu Yuliang opened her eyes wide, it was too late to snatch it back.

Under the watchful eyes of many onlookers, the two yamen servants quickly counted the silver in the bag, and at the same time looked at the shopkeeper surnamed Wei, their expressions became a little stern, "Treasurer Wei, there are indeed 170 taels in this bag, aren't you Said she spent seven taels in the restaurant, what's going on?"

Hearing this, everyone looked at the shopkeeper surnamed Wei.The latter stared at the burden with wide eyes, obviously surprised, "This... this..." What is going on?He followed the woman to the restaurant, and personally asked the waiter that she had indeed ordered food and drink for seven taels of silver, but he still peeked outside the curtain for a while before leaving to report to the official.

Chu Yu couldn't help feeling cold, and took a few steps to snatch the burden into his hands, "This is my money!"

The current situation suddenly became complicated, and the crowd who watched the excitement were a little confused.

The two yamen servants were also a little confused about who to trust. The main reason was that the surname Wei said that there should be 160 taels of silver in the bag, but there were seven taels more. If this woman is really a thief, how could she go to the restaurant? Is there a lot of both?
It can be said that everyone can't figure it out because of the extra seven taels of silver. As for how the extra silver came out, I'm afraid only Yan Hongxuan can't figure it out.

Looking at the woman tightly holding the bundle, he raised his jaw, "How did you get all this money?"

Chu Yuliang gritted her teeth, and replied angrily, "The money is my second mother's embezzlement from me for many years, and she returned it to me today. If you don't believe me, you can go to the Chu Mansion to check the accounts!"

Yan Hongxuan pursed his lips, and looked at the two yamen servants, "She is the eldest lady of the Chu family, and this king can confirm her identity. Since someone suspects that she has stolen money, for the sake of Miss Chu's reputation, I would like to ask the two of you to go to see her." I’m going to the Chu Mansion. The king and Lord Hou are here to watch them, you go and come back quickly.”

The virtuous king has spoken in person, how dare the two yamen servants dare to say more, not to mention so many people watching, if they really wronged someone, it is not easy for them to go back to the yamen to deal with business.

"Yes, my lord." The two hurried towards the Chu Mansion with their swords in hand.

The crowd around did not disperse, they seemed to be full of curiosity about what happened next, and wanted to see who was lying.

The shopkeeper surnamed Wei was still kneeling on the ground, but he lowered his head and didn't know what he was thinking.

Looking at the dignified and elegant man in front of him, Chu Yuliang pursed her lips, and said seriously, "Thank you." If it wasn't for him, she probably wouldn't be able to get away today, right?Even if the two yamen servants didn't know about it, they wouldn't believe her words, let alone the others.

"En." Yan Hongxuan responded lukewarmly.

"Are you the eldest lady of the Chu family?" A magnetic voice suddenly sounded beside her.

Only then did Chu Yuliang look at the white-robed man. Although he was not familiar with him, but out of politeness, he knelt down and gave him a blessing, "I've seen An Dinghou."

"Miss Chu, please get up." Tong Zigong raised his hand, with a slight smile in the corner of his narrow eyes, looking at her with interest.

Yan Hongxuan's handsome face sank, and he suddenly pulled Chu Yuliang to his side.

Seeing his actions, Tong Zigong suddenly laughed lowly, with a particularly cynical expression on his face, "I have known him for many years, but I never thought that the prince would still 'pity the fragrance and cherish the jade', which really surprised me."

Yan Hongxuan looked at him coldly.

Chu Yuliang didn't pay much attention to the two handsome men in front of her, and she didn't pay attention to the interaction between the two. Now all her thoughts are on the man surnamed Wei. She is so maliciously framed. I can't wait to step forward and kick him a few feet.

The speed of the two yamen servants was quite fast, and they returned after two quarters of an hour.

"My lord, I went to the Chu Mansion to inquire, Miss Chu did receive 170 taels of silver from the cashier today."

Hearing this, the surrounding crowd began to discuss again, but this time it was obviously not aimed at Chu Yuliang.

"Treasurer Wei, do you hear clearly? How dare you say that I stole your silver?" Chu Yuliang looked at the man surnamed Wei with a cold face.

"I..." The man surnamed Wei's face was very ugly, and he even started to stammer his words. He looked at the two yamen servants, then at Chu Yuliang and the two distinguished people behind her, and then changed his words apologetically. , "Sorry, I mistook the person."

"You think a word of apology will be enough?" Chu Yuliang looked at him with a sneer, "You can misread people even in broad daylight, shopkeeper Wei, don't tell me you have eye problems."

"I... I really misjudged the person." The man surnamed Wei suddenly blamed himself, "Girl, I really misjudged, I'm really sorry, I wronged you."

Chu Yuliang was about to step forward, but her wrist was suddenly grabbed.She turned her head in confusion, but saw Yan Hongxuan beckoning to her with a cold face.

"Since Miss Chu was wronged, let's stop this matter." Tong Zigong suddenly declared to everyone with his hands behind his back.

"Thank you, Lord Hou! Thank you, Lord Hou!" The shopkeeper surnamed Wei was surprised and delighted, kowtowed twice, squeezed out of the crowd and ran away.

Chu Yuliang frowned and looked at the two men dissatisfied. What do they mean?She still has something to figure out!
When the two yamen servants saw the truth of the matter, they also bowed their hands to Chu Yuliang, and said apologetically, "Miss Chu, the younger ones didn't understand the situation, so I misunderstood you, please forgive me."

"Okay, it's none of your business." Chu Yuliang waved to the two with a cold face, signaling them to leave quickly.What else?Everyone was let go!
