Lian Ruyue went upstairs and entered the middle room. Her cold eyebrows immediately closed the door and stayed outside.
"Eldest Miss, looks like someone is starting to suspect our place." Molina said.
"It's only a matter of time before people suspect the west of the capital. Xiao Zhenhai and Feng Qianyue are no pushovers, and this time, Lian Shiya suddenly attacked in an attempt to find some clues. Those guards from the palace earlier were all not ordinary guards, but people that Feng Qianyue had trained.
The reason she was able to discern them with a glance was because she had seen one or two of them in Feng Qianyue's study in his previous life.
"Fortunately, His Highness and Eldest Miss had the foresight to put a batch of fake account books here, and the real account books in Eldest Miss's room. Right now, it's better if she openly searches for them." Mo Liniang gently heaved a sigh of relief.
"However, this method is not a long-term one, they will definitely be secretly investigating the Jing Xi Pu Zi, they will not give up on this, the account book is not afraid to check, and most importantly, A'Yue is still hiding here, if they find out, not only will she be unable to escape death, Ninth Prince and I will also be convicted of bullying the monarch, and 10 of us will not be enough heads to cut down, the entire Lian Family will not be able to escape this calamity."
As Lian Ru Yue spoke, she pressed the button on the bookshelf and moved it away. Feng Ling Yue, who was standing behind the bookshelf, walked out after seeing Lian Ru Yue. Holding Lian Ru Yue's hand, she said:
"I just heard the sound of footsteps and my heart almost jumped out."
Lian Ru Yue pinched her ice-cold hand. Just as she was about to speak, she raised her head and her gaze landed on her ear. She was momentarily stunned before she asked, "A Yue, where is the earring on your left ear?"
Feng Lingyue was stunned. She subconsciously reached out a hand to rub her ear, and a sense of foreboding filled her heart. Her voice trembled as she said, "No, I don't."
Lian Ruyue's heart skipped a beat as she said, "Boss Mo, I'm looking for you!"
"Yes sir!"
The group immediately split up to search for the missing earrings. Feng Lingyue couldn't sit still, her heart thumping in her chest. Her face was pale as she asked, "Could someone else have picked it up?"
Lian Ruyue said, "Don't worry. Maybe we'll find him soon."
She comforted Feng Lingyue like this, but her mind was like boiling water. She quickly recalled every single expression and tone when Lian Shiya had left just now, and wondered if she had picked up the earrings?
After a while, Leng Mei and Molina returned, shaking their heads.
"These earrings were still in A'Yue's ears yesterday. A'Yue only moved about in these two rooms, but couldn't find them in any of the other two rooms."
"Crap." Feng Lingyue's legs went soft, and she slumped back in her chair. Her hands tightly gripped the back of the chair as she said, "I'm afraid someone picked it up!"
Lian Ruyue's fists under her sleeves slowly clenched as her eyes flashed.
After leaving the west side of the capital, Lian Shiya went straight back to the palace and entered Feng Qianyue's study. At this moment, Xiao Zhenhai was also in the study.
"Your Highness, Uncle." She knelt down and took out the account book from her bosom.
Feng Qianyue took the account book and read through it together with Xiao Zhenhai. Xiao Zhenhai frowned as he said, "This account book doesn't seem to be anything special. It's just an ordinary transaction."
"Right, is there something wrong with His Highness's information?" Lian Shiya said, "That shop did not belong to Ninth Prince and Lian Ruyue, but rather to Lian Ruyue, who said that Lian Ruyue had just given the shop to her."
"Heh …" Xiao Zhenhai smiled coldly and said, "To make a noise that strikes the west and make it blurry is the style of that little bitch, Lian Xiyue."
Feng Qianyue carefully flipped through the account book again, and the expression on his face gradually turned grave.
"Also, I accidentally found this." Lian Shiya took out an earring from her sleeve and placed it on her palm as she spoke.
"Earring?" Xiao Zhenhai stretched out his hand and took it.
"I've looked carefully. Even the earrings of Ru Yue, Boss Mo and the maidservants there were intact. However, I feel like I've seen them somewhere, but I just can't remember where." Lian Shiya said.
Feng Qianyue said in a deep voice, "Don't let any clues slip by, we need to properly check this earring as well."
Xiao Zhenhai nodded and said, "As long as it is an item from the clothing shop in the west of the capital, we should carefully study them."
After leaving Feng Qianyue's study, Lian Shiya laboriously caught up to Xiao Zhenhai's footsteps. She bent her knees and knelt before him, calling out, "Uncle!"
Xiao Zhenhai stopped and asked, "Ya Er, what are you doing?"
Lian Shiya kowtowed three times to Xiao Zhenhai and said, "Uncle, please take revenge for my mother. My mother was tortured to death at the Lian Clan by that slut Lian Ru Yue, and it definitely wasn't an accident that she fell into the water. Uncle, my mother died unjustly. She definitely died with grievance!" She began to cry loudly, and to sob fitfully, "And me, uncle, look at me now! This was all caused by that slut, Lian Xiyue!
She destroyed my face, she twisted my hair, threw me into the barn, let me sleep with the animals and eat with the animals, made me suffer, day and night I feel worse than death!
That's why, when she lied that I could leave the barn as long as she listened to me, I … I couldn't care less and only wanted to leave that damned place as soon as possible, so I took the place of my cousin and her highness to pay my respects, I really had no choice but to do so, Uncle. " "Now, my mother is gone. Although I'm a member of the Duke's Mansion with the Fourth Prince as my backing, but, I still can't take this lying down, Uncle!"
Xiao Zhenhai looked at his niece, who looked neither like a human nor a ghost, and sighed. "I have to say, all of this was caused by this little bitch, Ru Yue!" Don't worry, I've always kept your mother's grudge in my heart and have never forgotten that I didn't seek revenge from the Lian family previously because your mother had evidence that she had murdered her son. If I didn't stand up for her, I'm afraid that the Lian family would have put this crime on this old man's head.
Now, since you've come to beg me, I'll let you have your mother's hatred and uncle's revenge. At that time, kill Lian Ruyue, and hang her as an example to others! "
Uncle, let me chop off her head with my own hands. Lian Shiya's hatred was so great that it made his teeth itch.
"Don't worry. This time, I will completely destroy the ninth prince and Lian Xiyue." Xiao Zhenhai's eyes narrowed, emitting a chilling aura.
Lian Shiya smiled. That ugly face made her expression distort when she smiled like that — —
