Master and servant swaggered out of the Prime Minister's residence and appeared on the main street.
Wenren Yunfei noticed that these people were different from how they used to look at her. Their expressions were very strange.
But she couldn't say anything at the moment. She just felt very irritated.
The spies who had been guarding the Prime Minister's residence saw the two of them and immediately went back to report.
Xunmi was drinking afternoon tea when she received the news.
She immediately spat out the tea in her mouth. What did she just hear? Wenren Yunfei appeared on the street?
Shouldn't she be lying low at home right now? She actually dared to appear on the street. She really had guts.
But she wasn't in the mood to join in the fun, so she just let her do as she pleased.
She would stay in the Duke's residence for the next few days, waiting for her residence to be repaired before moving in.
But there was a saying that went, 'Misfortune comes from the sky while you're at home.'
Looking at the officials standing in front of her, Xunmi's eyes flashed with astonishment.
"You two are saying that someone accused me of stealing?"
Xunmi really didn't know what to say. She was the dignified Young Miss of the Duke's residence, and the Emperor personally conferred Princess Rou Jia.
Any one of these identities could prove that she didn't lack money or power. Since she didn't lack money, why would she steal?
Did this make any sense? Where was the logic?
These people must have a screw loose in their heads. Damn it, she wanted to curse.
"Yes, please come with us." The leading official's face was full of impatience as he spoke in a very bad tone.
Xunmi was preparing to leave at this moment, but when she reached the door, she was blocked.
Under the veil, no one could see the displeasure on her face.
"Which government office are you from? You want me to go with you? Where's the warrant?"
"I think you two are here to find trouble with me." Her tone was sharp: "Do I look so easy to bully?"
She was really angry. She turned and spoke to Xiao Xiang who was following her.
"Xiao Xiang, tell grandfather and the An Wang that someone accused me of stealing, but they can't produce any evidence and want to arrest me."
After Xiao Xiang quickly left, the guards of the Duke's residence also came out, protecting Xunmi in the middle.
Xunmi was infuriated by these two arrogant officers.
"How dare you cause trouble in my Duke's Public House. How dare you!"
"First, give these two men twenty strokes of the plank for offending the Princess and being disrespectful to the Public House."
His grandfather had made so many contributions to the An Nation. He was old, yet someone dared to be so careless.
She wasn't dead yet, and she still had the title of Infanta. How could these people dare?
Only then did the two officials feel afraid. They seemed to have kicked an iron plate.
However, the governor had told them that Wenren Xunmi was very timid and there was no need to worry about her.
All he had to do was bring the person over. When the time came, he could interrogate him however he wanted and throw him into jail.
"Yes, Your Highness." The guards were all strong and powerful. Some of them were even brought out from the army.
It was more than enough to subdue the two officials. In addition, they were loyal to the High Duke and had long been dissatisfied with the two officials.
Now that the princess had given the order, they naturally would not go easy on her.
'Ahhh … Ahhh …' Soon, screams were heard.
Xunmi stood on the steps and coldly looked at the situation below.
Soon, the Old Duke and Shangguan Yan came out. Seeing that their granddaughter was fine, they breathed a sigh of relief.
Before the twenty strokes of the plank were over, Zongzheng Mufeng arrived on his horse.
From the wrinkled clothes and messy hair, one could see how anxious the person was.
XunMi's heart warmed as she walked towards the man, allowing him to pull her into his embrace.
When Zongzheng Mufeng received the news, he was infuriated. His beauty had actually been framed.
Such a clumsy act was an insult to his beauty.
He rushed over without stopping. Fortunately, his beauty was fine. Fortunately, his beauty was fine. Fortunately, fortunately.
Once his heart calmed down, his anger also rose.
Holding Xunmi's hand, he walked to the two officials who had been beaten to a pulp. His tone was cold and piercing.
"Speak. Who sent you here?" He stepped on their faces and ruthlessly ground his foot.
These two things dared to be impudent in front of his beauty. "Beat them again. Beat them until they admit their mistakes."
The Old Duke also nodded. "Someone, go and check if there's someone causing trouble outside again."
He would never believe that his granddaughter would steal. Which of the things his granddaughter used were not exquisite?
Even if it was a rare treasure, with his granddaughter's character, she would never steal it.
Someone actually dared to use such a despicable method to harm his granddaughter. In this dynasty, thieves were the most shameless thing to do.
The person sent by the Old Duke returned quickly. He said that someone had reported to the magistrate office early in the morning.
He said that he had lost an ancestral jade pendant yesterday. During the time when it was lost, only the princess passed by him.
Therefore, he suspected that the princess had stolen his jade pendant and hoped to get it back through the magistrate office.
Hearing this reason, Xunmi wanted to laugh out loud.
Daring to do this in front of the Emperor … Good job.
"Heh … This Prince wants to see what kind of top-grade jade pendant is worthy of my Princess Consort reaching out her jade hands."
Zongzheng Mufeng couldn't wait to kill that person. He hugged Xunmi. "Beauty, let's go take a look."
Xunmi nodded. "I'm also curious. What kind of rare thing is it?"
"Grandfather, why don't you rest here? I'll go take a look with His Highness."
After all, her grandfather was old. She was worried that her grandfather would be angered. That would hurt his body. It was not worth it.
The Old Duke knew that his granddaughter was worried about him, but he couldn't be at ease if he didn't get to the bottom of this matter.
He shook his head. "I'll go with you. My old bones aren't so bad that I can't move."
"Since someone dares to openly scheme against the Duke's Estate, how can Grandfather not go take a look?"
"Send someone to call Weiwu and Haoqiang to the magistrate. How can they not be present for such a big matter?"
The group of people majestically escorted the two officials to the magistrate office.
The magistrate sat in the main hall, smiling like a Maitreya Buddha. This case was the easiest to handle.
When it was over, he would receive ten thousand taels of gold. It would be enough for him to live a life of luxury for the rest of his life.
A pale-faced scholar sat in the main hall. He held a folding fan made of bamboo in his hand and waved it leisurely.
When Zongzheng Mufeng brought Xunmi in, he saw the pretentious person.
"Oh, I was wondering which blind thing it was. So it's you. You really don't have eyes."
XunMi thoughtfully looked at the scholar. She flipped through the plot and immediately confirmed this person's identity.
Guan Shengqing, the number one scholar. His father was the assistant minister of the Ministry of Rites.
"Prince An?" Guan Shengqing called out in surprise.
"You … Why are you here?" The hand holding the folding fan tightened.
He appeared here because he promised Feifei to do three things for her unconditionally.
Then Prince An?
