Princess, she is playing again

Chapter 23 The Theft in Linglong Yard
The autumn night was cold, but it couldn't drench the anger in Lin Long's heart.

When she woke up from a nightmare in the morning, her daughter Xu Yanran's dream sounded in her ears: "Snakes, so many snakes..."

Lin Long turned her head and saw her daughter who was sleeping with her, her mind was still a little confused, and Qiangwei was waiting beside the bed early.

Seeing Lin Long opened her eyes and woke up, Qiangwei rushed forward and asked:
"Ma'am, you are awake. Seeing that it was too late last night, the servant waited on you and rested in Yanran Courtyard. But what happened last night? Why did you and Miss keep shouting about snakes?"

Lin Long's face was gloomy, and she didn't answer Qiangwei's words.

She went through everything that happened yesterday carefully in her mind, and she was very sure that the snake that appeared last night had something to do with Xu Zhaoning.

She even guessed that the batch of snakes that appeared last night was the same batch that she had people arrested this morning, and it was also the same batch of snakes that targeted her under Xu Zhaoning's command when she rushed into the Old Shaoyuan for the first time.

Xu Zhaoning!
Lin Long's teeth itch with hatred, all because of Xu Zhaoning.

Perhaps sensing Lin Long's sinister aura, Xu Yanran also woke up at this moment, and asked in a low tone, "Mother, we lost again, right?"

Lin Long's complexion sank, didn't she lose?It was thought that digging up the old Shaoyuan and burying a large amount of realgar would wipe out all the snakes underneath, but in fact Xu Zhaoning used it again and fought back.

How could Lin Long, who had been going smoothly for most of her life, endure this, the quilt in her hand was twisted into shape.

Seeing that Lin Long only cared about her emotions and didn't answer herself, Xu Yanran lost control of her emotions, "Xu Zhaoning! Why didn't she die? Why did she just target us? She has been stupid for more than ten years, why did she become so stupid again? clever?"

Obviously she, Xu Yanran, has both talent and beauty, and was praised by the whole capital. When she was sensible, her mother said that the only person who can marry into the palace in the future will be hers.Even the grandparents in the mansion acquiesced to such a fact, but now, everything has changed.

Since the prince came that day, Xu Zhaoning seemed to be a different person. First, her face was destroyed, then her finger was broken, and now her brain was injured.

All this was caused by Xu Zhaoning, how could she be willing to be suppressed by Xu Zhaoning like this, no, she must resist!
With her, Xu Yanran, in Zhongyonghou's mansion, there can be no more Xu Zhaoning.

"Mother, can you help me? I don't want to see Xu Zhaoning pressing on my head again. I must get rid of her, or I will die, mother..."

Suppressing the pain in the back of her head, Xu Yanran lost control of her emotions and kept shaking Lin Long, needing her to vent her anger.

Lin Long finally came back to her senses, sat up, and tucked in the quilt for Xu Yanran.

"Yan Ran, don't worry, you are Mother's own daughter, Mother can't ignore you, you should have a good rest first, Mother has to go back to Linglong Courtyard."

After all, she underestimated Xu Zhaoning before, but now she has repeatedly fallen into the hands of a little bitch, so she must think carefully.

Xu Zhaoning has been neglected for more than ten years, even if she can drive snakes, it is just accidental, and besides, there are people beyond the sky, she must find someone who is better than Xu Zhaoning in driving snakes, and solve the problem from the head.

Without time to wait for Xu Yanran's reply, Lin Long hurried back to Linglong Courtyard, and as soon as she entered her bedroom, she waved away the girl beside her.

It's just that it didn't take long before I heard a scream from the room: "Come on, come on!"

"What's the matter, ma'am? What happened?"

The girl outside the yard heard that something was wrong with her voice, and rushed into the room immediately, and then saw Lin Long looking at the empty nanmu box in front of her in disbelief, her whole body was gloomy and terrifying.

"Who has moved this box?" Lin Long gritted her teeth and asked Lily who was walking in the front. The hideous appearance made Lily take two steps back, and then shook her head vigorously, "This servant has always been by your side, madam, and has never touched you."

"Who is that!"

Lin Long's voice was gloomy. Lily and Dingxiang are the first-class girls around her, and they are usually the only ones who have the opportunity to enter the house. Now that Lily said that they have never touched it, then Dingxiang is the most suspicious.

Lin Long's knife-like gaze fell on Ding Xiang, "You'd better let me put it back, otherwise I will make your life worse than death."

She took that nanmu box back to her room in the past two days, and the contents inside are enough for her to live comfortably for the rest of her life, but now it is empty, how can she calm down.

"Madam, Ding Xiang has been with you for nearly 10 years. You know Ding Xiang's temperament best. Even if you give Ding Xiang 10 courage, Ding Xiang will not dare to touch your things!"

Ding Xiang fell to his knees with a plop on the ground, trembling all over.

Lin Long looked at the two of them carefully with gloomy eyes, and confirmed that the expressions of the two did not seem to be fake, but then she thought, if it wasn't for the lily and lilac beside her, who would have stolen the contents of the box?

"Madam is back?" Madam Lin's voice came from outside the door, Lin Long's expression turned serious, she calmed down a little, and said loudly, "Come in, Madam."

After getting permission, Nanny Lin pushed the door open and came in without stopping.Sensing the tense atmosphere in the room, and noticing the tears on Lily and Dingxiang's face, Nanny Lin frowned slightly, but hesitated to speak.

"What's the matter, let's talk." Because the person who came was her nurse, Lin Long tried her best to suppress her anger, but there was still a bit of impatience between her brows.

Sister Lin's expression froze slightly, but she still stepped forward to Lin Long again, and said in a low voice, "The old servant found someone listening to Hexuan at the door."

"Listen to Hexuan?" Lin Long's complexion changed drastically, and then he seemed to think of something, his eyes locked on the empty box in his hand, and after a while, he squeezed out a few words from between his teeth, "Bring her in!"

A slender girl was pushed and shoved in, and then forced to kneel down in front of Lin Long.

The girl struggled to stand up, but she was pushed down vigorously by Nanny Lin. The girl was also sharp-tongued, and even shouted loudly: "Ma'am, what is the meaning of this? Even if Madam doesn't want my aunt to run the house , and you shouldn’t vent your anger on a little girl like me.”

In her words, Lin Long became a narrow-minded person who was dissatisfied with the deprivation of the power of the family and thus could not get along with the little girl.

Nanny Lin slapped her violently, and scolded, "Little bastard, you should be slapped for being so talkative in front of Madam!"

"You are an old slave. Before Madam has spoken, you are acting as your substitute. Those who don't know think that you are in charge of the entire Linglong Courtyard.

Nanny Lin felt hot when she heard what the girl said, and she was worried that Lin Long really thought she was up to no good, so she gave the girl a cruel look, and was about to strike out again to teach her a lesson.

But in the next second, Lin Long stopped her, "Nurse Lin back down."

"Ma'am, please listen to the old slave's explanation." Nanny Lin was a little anxious. Over the years, she has been the wife's nanny, so she has been domineering in the waiting mansion, but the wife has never pursued it before.

Now what if...

"Back off!" Lin Long's mind was not on Nanny Lin at the moment. Seeing Nanny Lin interrupting again and again, she couldn't help but increase her volume, and her face became a little gloomy.

Nanny Lin felt guilty, but she didn't dare to speak any more, and retreated to Lin Long's side.

"Where are the things you took in Linglong Courtyard?"

Lin Long's ten fingers trembled a little, but she tried her best to control it, her voice was as cold as coming from the top of a snow-capped mountain, and her eyes were fixed on that girl named Shaoyao.
