Could it be because of Wenren Xunmi!
He had seen Wenren Xunmi yesterday and felt that she might not be as rumored.
But when he saw Feifei's tears, his heart ached.
Regardless of whether it was Wenren Xunmi's fault, he had to help Feifei vent her anger first.
Nangong had also taken care of the magistrate. As long as the person he arranged insisted, there would be no problem.
It was also to prevent any problems that he came to keep an eye on them.
"What, do I need to report to you where I am? Who do you think you are?"
Guan Shengqing clenched his fists tightly. There was nothing he could do about Prince An's contemptuous attitude.
But before he could catch his breath, his heart was raised.
Zongzheng Mufeng looked at the person kneeling on the ground with disdain. His whole body was emitting a vicious aura.
"What? Is this the thing that accused my consort of stealing his ancestral jade pendant?"
"You don't look like you're worth anything," he said as he walked around in a circle, "You don't look like you have anything valuable."
"Even if it's an ancestral jade, it can't be considered a rare treasure."
"What, do you think my princess's eyesight is bad? She can't even tell a fake from a treasure."
Guan Shengqing's eyes were filled with surprise. Wenren Xunmi was actually Prince An's princess. What was going on? Why didn't they get the news?
They did see Prince An appear yesterday, but he and Nangong didn't hear the latter part of the conversation clearly.
In addition, they were shocked and didn't record the details in time.
The only one who heard, Bai Ling, was ashamed and didn't notice the two's absent-mindedness.
All of this …
Actually, it could only be said that no one thought that the carefree prince of An Kingdom would fall.
When the magistrate saw Prince An, he had already rolled off the chair without any backbone.
When he heard the latter part of the conversation, he immediately knelt down. That terrified expression made it seem like he was going to die in the next moment.
Li Zhu, who was dragged here to make a complaint, was already trembling all over at this moment.
His face was pale and he didn't dare to raise his head. The person in front of him was Prince An.
His Majesty's favorite younger brother was the overlord of the capital.
How could he be so unlucky to be in his opponent's shoes? He even had the thought of dying.
She secretly glanced at Guan Shengqing, who was sitting not far away, and found that his expression was also very bad.
But when he looked over, he glared at him fiercely and immediately pulled a long face.
Even if he had to bite the bullet, he was really afraid.
If he had known earlier, he wouldn't have agreed just to take advantage of the situation.
"What's wrong? Did you not hear this prince's question? Or are you trying to find an excuse at the last minute?"
Sitting on the stool that An Yi brought over and holding the beauty, his mood finally cleared up a bit.
The old duke had long been invited to sit across from An Er. As for the magistrate who was about to fall to the ground, who cared?
"Your Highness, I really lost my ancestral jade pendant."
Li Zhu, who was kneeling on the ground, tried his best to toughen himself up as he replied.
His palms were sweating profusely. Fortunately, he suddenly remembered the jade pendant that Young Master Guan had given him, and casually used it.
Zongzheng Mufeng looked at Li Zhu with a faint smile and said meaningfully.
"Why do I remember that this Exquisite Jadeite Pendant is a product of the royal family, and …"
He watched as the two nervously pricked up their ears and carelessly played with the beauty's fingers, admiring their expressions.
When the man said the name of the jade pendant, Guan Shengqing cursed in his heart.
Sure enough, what happened next extinguished all his hopes of getting lucky.
"Moreover, this item should have been bought by Lord Guan."
"If this prince remembers correctly, it passed into Guan Shengqing's hands, right?"
"When did it become someone else's, and it was even lost."
"This is a product of the royal family. Apart from those above the fifth rank who can be bestowed or bought, no one else is allowed to possess it."
"Once it's discovered that it was given away or lost, it would be a crime of great disrespect."
Anyone who dared to reach out to his beauty would have to bear the consequences of growing fingernails.
When Xunmi took off the veil on her head, she didn't miss the shock and confusion on the man's face.
She suddenly had a plan in her heart and lightly tugged on Zongzheng Mufeng's sleeve.
"Young Master, you said that Wenren Xunmi stole your jade pendant. May I ask how you know it's hers?"
She stood up and placed the veil on Zongzheng Mufeng's chest. She took two steps forward and stood in front of the kneeling man.
"Of … of course, I … I saw it with my own eyes."
"Oh, you saw it with your own eyes. Then can Young Master describe the situation in detail to this little girl?"
Stuttering, evasive eyes, stiff expression, tsk tsk tsk …
Most importantly, he said that she stole his jade pendant, but he didn't recognize her. How amusing.
Li Zhu complained incessantly in his heart, but he still put on a strong front.
"Yesterday, this little one was walking on the side of the road when I suddenly saw a group of people coming over."
"This little one made way, and when I got closer, the woman in the lead nodded and smiled at me."
"At that time, this little one didn't react and was stunned. When the group of people disappeared, this little one then realized that this little one's jade pendant was missing."
"I couldn't find it after searching for a long time, so I could only report it to the authorities."
The more he spoke, the more he felt that what he said was right. Slowly, he became bold and confident.
Xunmi's eyes darkened. "According to what you said, Young Master has seen that woman's true appearance."
"You even know her name. But why did Young Master suspect Wenren Xunmi when you realized that the jade pendant was missing?"
"Why didn't you look for her, but reported it to the authorities instead?"
Letting such a stupid person take the bullet, did he think that she was stupid or that there was something wrong with her brain?
Guan Shengqing's face stiffened. This show was destined to fail.
Wenren Xunmi's words were full of traps, and Li Zhu jumped straight into them. He didn't let any of them go.
This person couldn't be saved. What he needed to think about now was how to get rid of himself.
The Crown Prince was grounded. Nangong was just a merchant. He didn't have a position, and his father's position wasn't high either.
Against Prince An and the House of High Duke, there was no chance of winning.
How did he get dizzy and impulsive at that time?
The seed of doubt was slowly planted, waiting for the day it sprouted.
Li Zhu, who was being tricked by Xunmi, didn't find anything wrong at all. He answered Xunmi's question very seriously.
"Wenren Xunmi's reputation is so bad. This little one is worried that she won't admit it."
"Reporting it to the authorities is the best choice."
Xunmi nodded in agreement. She casually asked a seemingly unimportant question, "Then do you know me?"
The man shook his head blankly. When did he know this outstanding beauty in front of him?
After getting the answer she wanted, Xunmi walked to the table and gently knocked on it.
"Magistrate, are you preparing to be in love with the earth?"
