Along the way, the maids all lowered their heads to avoid her. Some of them were gloating over her misfortune, but she didn't notice it.
"Miss Nine, it's a big deal. The Xi family has been robbed," the butler said succinctly.
Schilling's Shadow raised a brow. He could feel the tension in the Xi family. She was surprised. "Look at this, it seems like something big has gone missing."
The butler hesitated for a moment before walking into the circle of guards. He took two steps closer to Schilling's Shadow and whispered, "Is the jade qilin missing?"
She turned to look at the butler with a serious expression. "The jade qilin left behind by Father?"
The butler nodded. "Yes, the jade qilin. The master even found evidence left behind by the culprit at the place where the jade qilin was hidden."
Hearing this, her eyes flashed and the corner of her mouth curled up into a cold smile. "I presume that item belongs to me."
The steward looked at Xi Nuoying's indifferent appearance in astonishment. "It was the bracelet that the Fifth Master left for Miss. After the Master saw that bracelet, he flew into a rage and brought a group of people to your courtyard to search, but they couldn't find the jade qilin."
The butler paused as if considering whether he should say it or not. In the end, he still spoke.
"The Third Miss was there too. Miss Nine, this old servant advised Miss Nine to be careful of the Third Miss. On the surface, she appeared to be speaking up for Miss Nine, but every word she said was provoking the master's patience."
Xi Mengdie definitely had something to do with this incident. She was the one who created this opportunity for Xi Mengdie. However, she didn't expect Xi Mengdie to have the audacity to target the jade qilin.
The jade qilin was the Xi family's treasure. Xi Home leader treasured it as much as his life. Xi Mengdie naturally wanted it for herself as well. However, if Xi Home leader didn't agree, she wouldn't be able to claim it openly. Now … this was the perfect opportunity for her to kill two birds with one stone.
She touched the Flaming Phoenix Bracelet on her wrist. Her eyes were cold. The jade qilin was an important item left behind by her father. How could she let it fall into Xi Mengdie's hands?
Her gaze shifted slightly as she glanced at the seemingly respectful steward beside her. This old fellow was a scheming person. She had to admit that this old fellow was quite good at judging the situation and sizing up the situation after following the Clan Head for so many years.
"How can you be so sure that the jade qilin's disappearance has nothing to do with me?"
The steward lowered his head even more. "This old servant has seen clearly what kind of person the Ninth Young Miss is. Moreover, this old servant also believes that with a wise father like the Fifth Master, such a small trick won't stump the Ninth Young Miss."
As a follower of the Xi Clan Head, he's seen a lot of people, so naturally, his eyesight has become much sharper. Every time he attended a variety of events, although he'd stand silently by the side, it was precisely because he only watched and didn't speak that he knew how to read people's expressions.
Even the Xi Clan Leader would be inferior to him in terms of knowledge.
Nodding her head, Xi Nuoying swept a glance at the steward and didn't say anything else. She calmly and calmly walked towards her own courtyard, surrounded by a group of white knives pointing at each other.
"Master, Miss Nine has returned." Just as she was about to reach the courtyard, a voice came from inside.
She slowly walked into the courtyard and came face to face with Xi Clan Head sitting in the middle.
