Qu Qingge sat in the main seat as she leisurely watched the two of them, and their expressions were both slightly embarrassed.

"Please help me again, Miss." In this life or death situation, Ji Buming did not dawdle and bent down to beg.

"Yes, yes, yes, it's them. We were starving a while ago, but …" "We stole their food, but I didn't expect them to keep sticking to us like that." Xiao Mu quickly replied.

In his previous life, as the Ruan Wife of the Crown, Qu Qingge was able to recognize them at a glance as the Ruan Family Army. They were stationed at the Yangming Mountain, and had protected the capital for a long time.

But that was now, after Ruan Xiushu took office, because he was involved in the fight for the throne, the Ruan Family were no longer as mighty as they were before, and had slowly declined.

And at this time, the commander of the Ruan Family Army was the son of the Ruan Guo, Ruan Xiuyuan.

He had thick eyebrows and big eyes, he was tall and straight, tall and sturdy build, dressed in silver armor with a terrifying aura, looking like a martial general. If not for him being harmed by Ruan Xiushu and his spies, where would Ruan Xiushu be able to sit in the Ruan Kingdom?

"Greetings Madam and Miss." The Ruan Mansion and the Duke Yu's Mansion were the pillars of the Great Liang Dynasty, although they were not in the same camp, they were still somewhat popular. Ruan Xiuyuan went to the Yu Shi Manor and greeted them politely.

He then stated his purpose for coming here. He pointed out that there was a thief in the capital city who had stolen the First Prince's Estate's Night Pearl and escaped through the southern suburbs. Because this place was filled with large clans, the owners of the manors were afraid that their manors would be frequented by thieves.

Upon hearing that such a powerful Thief was anxious, the Yu clan waved their delicate hands, allowing them to search as they pleased.

Although she was being casual, with Ruan Xiuyuan's control, how could the Ruan Family dare to be casual when they were searching?

Mother Liu and Xia Zhi didn't know that the person their master saved was a thief. They had signaled Qu Qingge with their eyes many times for her to hand the person over.

Qu Qingge was as steady as Mt. Tai, she still poured tea for Yu Shi and Ruan Xiuyuan.

This had happened in his previous life, it was just that Yu Shi had died a long time ago, so the person who came to search for them was still Ruan Xiuyuan.

They had searched every nook and cranny of the Hot Spring Villa, and only she and the Yu Family dared not take a step closer.

While the soldiers were searching below, Ruan Xiuyuan was sitting in the hall drinking tea with Yu Shi and observing the rumored timid wife.

Ever since he was young, he knew that he had an engagement with the Palace's Second Miss.

The young girl in front of him was elegant and beautiful, with eyebrows like crescent moons, eyes like autumn water, nose like Qiong Yao, lips like a cherry, and face so pink and cute.

"Cough cough …" Does Your Highness know how Wife of the Crown is doing? " Lady Yu saw the young man staring unblinkingly at her daughter. She coughed a few times, looking displeased, and deliberately brought up his stepmother.

"Madam, you've been well recently. This junior thanks Madam Bai on behalf of the elders of the family." Although Ruan Xiuyuan was tall and sturdy, his maternal grandfather's family was the Great Liang Dynasty's son, a great scholar. His way of speaking had the bearing of a scholar, and he did not seem like an ordinary martial general who was rough and reckless. He seemed to be much stronger than his gentle younger brother, Ruan Xiushu.

It was a pity …

After the useless conversation ended, the soldiers and guards who had been searching everywhere returned to the courtyard one after another. Naturally, the results of the search were not forthcoming.

However, mother Liu and Xia Zhi's nervous expressions were already seen by Ruan Xiuyuan, who had sharp eyes.

When Yu Shi ordered Qu Qingge to send him out, he hinted with an unknown meaning: "The suspects are two people, one big and one small, so they shouldn't be thieves. However, the First Prince issued an order for us to apprehend them through the Emperor.

When he entered the courtyard, he already saw the pale red leaves of the welcoming spring flowers by the wall. The leaves were yellow, so as long as he looked closely, he would be able to see the shade of red.
