The people who had come were few in number in politics, and Zhao Yuanzhi's eyes shone with pride as she saw them.

As for Li mama, who was about to crash into the pillar and kill Ming Zhi, she also stopped and stood to the side with a face full of tears.

Zhao Yuanzhi calmed herself down. Since the old master had come, she would definitely uphold justice for her and Senior Servant Li. Furthermore, she hadn't made up her mind about the previous situation.

Zhao Yuanzhi pretended to be hesitant and sad, then bowed and said, "Master."

"What's going on with all of you? Do you not think we don't have enough gossip about this place?" Yuanzhi asked coldly when she heard Zhao Yuanzhi calling out to her.

Zhao Yuanzhi knew that there was only one reason for it, and she and this silly girl were not in the courtyard at all. The old master was obviously using this silly girl as an excuse, so before he could finish his thought, Zhao Yuanzhi said worriedly, "Master, the young maid saw that someone was sneaking in this direction, so she brought someone here. I'm worried that it wasn't a thief, so she brought someone with her. "It's fine, but if the thief is still hiding, isn't this putting him at risk?"

She didn't make a sound. To Zhao Yuanzhi, this was just an act of vanity. On the other hand, the maidservant who'd beaten up Li mama earlier had a slightly angry expression on her face. However, this was not the time for a young maid to speak up.

The atmosphere between the crowd became tense and harmonious.

No one spoke for a long time. Zhao Yuanzhi stared at Yuanzhi, wondering if she had misjudged him. She couldn't help but feel nervous as she stared at him for a long time.

Yuanzhi was less pleased than Yuanzhi by her performance and more pleased by her lack of expression.

As for Yu Yu, when he saw Yu Cheng's thoughtful expression, he laughed in disdain. However, his tone sounded as if he had just recovered from a fright, and replied, "Mother, let's not talk about the fact that Yu'er did not see any thieves. Just this large scale search is a disgrace to the reputation of the Residence of Prime Minister."

Reputation was a good thing. She believed that her reputation outside was more or less what would affect his judgment after so much time had passed since she had to protect it. However, this was only a home search, and sealing the news wasn't a problem. All she had to do was convince Zhao Yuanzhi that the so-called thieves were hiding in her yard.

Zhao Yuanzhi's fingers tugged at her sleeve, and only a faint outline of her white knuckles could be seen under the cover of her wide sleeve. The knuckles were less bland than the surface of her face, making Zhao Yuanzhi almost believe her.

Needless to say more, this man was definitely in the courtyard!

Zhao Yuanzhi thought she had found some clues, as if the man would appear in front of her in the next second. With a quick flash of determination in her eyes, she advised, "Master, reputation is not as important as life, not to mention the fact that they are all on their own. Who dares to spread the news? If we really let the thief escape, what kind of consequences would the thief cause? It's not something we can bear. "It won't be long before she becomes the Sixth Prince's consort."

"Cough, cough." Her concern about the matter was real, and it was rare for him to be reminded like this by a politician. What Zhao Yuanzhi had said truly pierced his heart. If she couldn't become the Sixth Prince's consort, then this chance of becoming the royal family would slip away, and she wouldn't need to talk about becoming someone else in the future.

Subconsciously stroking his beard, Chueh-hui squinted up and down at his daughter.

He opened his mouth as if to say something, but then stopped abruptly, his eyes filled with anxiety.

Zhao Yuanzhi was even more convinced and said, "Master should ask someone to search for him." This was also responsible for the lives of dozens of people in the mansion. Furthermore, if Su'er knows this person and is able to find out who he is, it would be easier for us to deal with him ourselves.

"Cough cough, pass on my order, find this thief for me." Yucheng looked around and confirmed that they were all palace guards and maidservants. He then gave the order.

It was true that this was his daughter, but it was also true that he was the concern of a father. Even more so, it would be a joyous occasion for his daughter to become the concubine of the Sixth Prince. However, if he did not beat her down at this time, she would think that his wings had hardened and he would be in trouble in the future.

This was both a beating and a show of might. He felt proud that he had done so well.

Yu Yu Yu became anxious, and quickly stopped everyone. He said to Yu Yu Zheng: "Father, this is related to your reputation, and it is also related to the Sixth Prince's reputation. As the future Sixth Prince's concubine, you must not let this news spread. "I swear to God, there are no thieves in my yard."

He even used the oath to the heavens.

The corners of Zhao Yuanzhi's mouth curled into a sneer, and a look of mockery appeared in her eyes. Apparently, even the government didn't disappoint the crowd. Previously, when Zhao Yuanzhi had said that she could solve the problem in her own residence, she had made it clear to him that he couldn't afford to take the risk.

"Yun'er, go wait at the side for a while." "I also believe that there are no thieves in this yard, but for safety's sake, if this thief comes to your yard from somewhere else and hides here, wouldn't it make your heart ache for you if something happens in the future?"

Virtue is less than politics. That was the only impression she had of her "father." A man's heart is not strong enough to swallow an elephant, but you have to be careful not to push it too far.

The guards had stopped when the search was over, and there was no longer any hesitation as they walked into the courtyard with cold expressions on their faces.

Zhao Yuanzhi watched as the guards left one by one, her expression slowly turning anxious as she felt unspeakably satisfied.

Fewer than zero, you also have this day!

The intensity of her gaze gave her goosebumps, but she also knew that she wouldn't be able to smile for long. In order to show how real she was, she did indeed appear to be hiding something, and she walked quickly over to stand in front of the guards, speaking to them. "Father, don't you believe in your daughter?" she asked.

"I told you, go wait at the side for a while." "I believe in you, but if you don't find him later, I will definitely uphold justice for you." It was less than politics and less than enjoyment. This expression was as though he was speaking in a carefree manner.

What if he didn't find anyone?

A hint of gloom flashed through Yu Yu's eyes as she pursed her lips and lowered her eyes. Ridiculous, he didn't believe that the council would really uphold justice for her.

However … This person really did have one, but he wasn't in the courtyard at all.
