Warm Jade Full of Embrace
"Wait…wait a minute, this…is our Boss Liu's boudoir, you…can't barge in!”
"Get lost!"
After a pause, he slammed the door with force again. The poor door, after being hit several times in a month, finally couldn't hold on any longer. With a bang, the door fell to the ground.
The scene was silent. Master Tang probably never thought that his hand strength would be so great.
He was stunned for a moment, then cleared his throat and pointed inside."Officials, this is the room. That thief must be hiding here!”
"Officials, may I know why you barged into a commoner's house? Which lord gave permission to do this and had to disturb this woman's rest? Don't you know that a commoner has the right to sue you for trespassing into a residence without reason?”
A thin layer of sweat seeped out of her forehead. God knew how much energy she had spent on deliberately creating an ambiguous scene in the account just now.
The leader cupped his hands in embarrassment and apologized. "Boss Liu, we are only following orders. This morning, Old Master Tang came to the yamen to accuse you of harboring a thief and keeping the stolen goods for yourself. The magistrate has sent me to investigate this matter.”
"Officer, you don't have to waste your breath on her. That thief must be hiding in her tent. Hurry up and catch that thief!”Master Tang shouted from the side.
The bailiff was rather polite and said to her politely,"Boss Liu, I heard that a strange man stayed here a month ago. Can you ask him to come out and report to the yamen with me?”Her eyes involuntarily drifted to the side of the bed.
There seemed to be some movement in the tent.
"That man isn't a stranger, he's my fiancé. He came to the Manor of Unrequited Love to look for me a month ago."Besides, we were together last night…" She cleared her throat. "So he wouldn't steal anything from Master Tang.”
"Ha, I didn't say that he came to my house to steal last night.”Master Tang clapped. "I'm referring to the stolen jade pendant. Yesterday, someone came to me and told me that he was the thief. My family heirloom is hidden in the treasury of your Heartless Manor.”
Liu Wuqing blinked. Why? Didn't he take action again last night?
A warm body came out of the tent and hugged her from behind. Yang Guhong looked at Master Tang without any warmth in his eyes.
"This Old Master Tang, I wonder if you can ask the witness you mentioned to show his face? Since you keep saying that I stole your family's treasure, you have to come out and confront me and prove my innocence!”
Liu Wuqing listened to his rhythmic heartbeat and felt that the man behind him was hard to grasp. Sometimes, he was as lazy as a cat, sometimes as agile as a leopard, and sometimes like a cunning wolf. He could lie without batting an eyelid.
" Young Master Yang…" The bailiff immediately recognized this person as the young master from that day in the forest. Recalling that Young Master Yang's attendants would use the token to mobilize their men, he immediately thought of Young Master Yang's identity and his expression changed. He wanted to say something but was interrupted by Yang Guhong's hand gesture.
"Do you need a witness? Of course not." "Boss Liu, can you send someone to ask Miss Shen to come out?" Master Tang raised his chin and said.”
"Shen Young Lady?" Liu Wuqing frowned and looked at Old Master Tang in confusion.
"It's Shen Cuirong, Miss Shen. She was the one who came to tell me the truth yesterday. Why? The words came from your own people. How can you say that it's a rumor? He was afraid that someone would not admit to what they had done!”Master Tang was very pleased with himself.
Liu Wuqing grabbed her hand and held back his anger. He said in a cold voice,""If everyone doesn't mind, please allow me and my fiancé to get dressed properly before we meet up with everyone in the front hall of the Heartless Manor to clarify this matter.”
She looked towards the door. "Chi 'er, go and invite my cousin to the front hall. Tell her that I want her to explain what's going on.”
"That's right. On the night of the sixth day of the lunar month, I saw him sneak out of the Heartless Manor in the middle of the night and climb over the wall into Master Tang's residence. Also, I…I saw my lover secretly bring Master Tang's jade pendant into the treasure vault.”
"You mean, you found me sneaking out, followed me all the way to Master Tang's house, and then witnessed me stealing? So, you also saw Little Winter Melon helping me keep watch outside?”
Seeing the woman nod her head, Yang Guhong said unhurriedly,""Little Winter Melon has good eyesight. Why didn't he notice you?”
"Of…Of course, I hid well…"
Yang Guhong laughed coldly. "It's better to hide."
He said to the little shadow who could no longer hold it in,""Little Winter Melon, come out and tell me where you were that night.”
The boy who was called out rushed to the middle of the crowd and glared at Shen Cuirong with disgust. He shouted,"That day, I didn't follow Master out at all. I first fell asleep at the door of Master's room. It was Sister Chi 'er who woke me up. After that, I stayed in Master's room. Sister Wu Qing can testify for me.”
Shen Cuirong's face turned green and white. Her lie was exposed.
Yang Guhong flicked his wrist and found an empty chair to sit down. "Everyone here knows who the person who lied through his teeth is, right?”
"Wait, wait!" Master Tang shouted anxiously. "That night, someone did see someone who looked like you wandering outside. Officer, why don't you let us check if there are any of my family's jade inscriptions in the treasure vault before making a decision?”
"No need." Yang Guhong said. "I think your jade pendant should be in the treasury of the Manor of Heartless Love.”
Liu Wuqing took a deep breath. He could not believe that he had actually said that.
"Not only this, but there are also Purple Jade Crystals, jade rings…The lost items that were stolen earlier should also be inside.”
"Officer, he admitted it himself. Hurry up and arrest this thief. Don't let him escape!”
Old Master Tang was so excited that he shouted and jumped, but the next sentence of the bailiff almost made Old Master Tang fall down.
"It's only natural that these things would appear in the Heartless Manor.”
Liu Wuqing was also dumbfounded by these words. The bailiff continued to speak in a respectful tone.
"Last time, Young Master Yang and his guards helped us a great deal. They helped us capture a group of bandits and even found the treasures that the bandits stole. Young Master Yang said that these treasures should be placed in the Manor of Unrequited Love for the time being. After the yamen contacted all the owners, they will be retrieved in order. I think Old Master Tang's lost items might be among them.”
The bailiff gave Shen Cuirong and Master Tang a warning look.
"Shen Young Lady, right? Do you know that falsely accusing the king…falsely accusing others will result in a sentence? If you do it again, I won't let you off easily. Boss Liu, Young Master Yang, please forgive us for our rash actions. I will immediately bring those treasures back to the yamen and explain the matter to the magistrate. I will clear the name of the Heartless Manor.”He didn't have the brains to frame Young Master Yang.
He made a " retreat " gesture and led a group of people to quickly leave the Heartless Manor, leaving only Master Tang behind.
Master Tang never dreamed that things would develop to this extent! It was obvious that he had framed the wrong person and lost all his face. It was all because of that woman with the surname Shen!
He angrily pointed at Shen Cuirong's nose and cursed,""You deliberately brought up fake clues to see me embarrass myself, right? What kind of intentions do you have? I think this is clearly a trick that you guys came up with. You just want to see me lose face. Remember this."
"Master Tang, please wait." Liu Wuqing called out to Old Master Tang, who wanted to use this opportunity to increase his momentum and then run away.
She hooked her hand, and the abacus on the table obediently fell into her hand.
The only sound in the hall was the sound of the abacus being quickly turned.
"... It has been more than fifteen years since the house was built. It is considered an antique. Its value should be raised..." she muttered to herself.
After a loud sound, the hall returned to silence. Liu Wuqing turned the round bead in his hand to let Old Master Tang see it clearly.
"The door that Old Master Tang broke just now is an antique, so it costs ten taels and seven wen. Since we are old friends, we can give you a discount of ten taels.”Let's see if you'll still come to my Heartless Manor to find trouble in the future!
"Got it, I'll send someone over tomorrow." Old Master Tang gritted his teeth.”Then, he left with a defeated expression.
"Sorry to trouble you." She smiled politely.
Turning around, Liu Wuqing exhaled. After settling this matter, there was still one person left.
"Sister Cuirong, why did you do this?”
She never expected that the person who went to tell on her would be the person closest to her.
Shen Cuirong didn't answer. She just cast a sad look at Liu Wuqing and then lowered her eyes.
"Her goal is to chase me away.”
Yang Guhong's voice echoed in the surroundings. He came behind Liu Wuqing and held her from behind with a provocative tone.
Liu Wuqing was already used to his actions, so he did not reject him. On the contrary, Shen Yirong, who saw the intimacy between the two of them, shouted at the two of them with jealousy and anger,""Take your dirty hands away. You're not allowed to touch my lover!”
"Sister Cuirong?" Liu Wuqing was shocked by her appearance.
"Why are you interfering in our lives? My love sister is mine. What right do you have to snatch her away from me? I've been with her since she was young and grew up with her. Our relationship is so good and so close…"
"But you are still sisters and will never be lovers.”
Yang Guhong's words were like a gunpowder explosion. Not only did Liu Wuqing's head go blank, but Shen Cuirong's face turned pale and she was speechless.
"Yang Guhong, what…are you talking about? Why did he make it sound like Sister Cuirong…liked women? Uh, Sister Cuirong, don't listen to his nonsense, Sister Cuirong!”
Without warning, Shen Cuirong ran away without looking back.
"Heavens! "No, Sister Cuirong won't really…" She covered her mouth and shook her head in disbelief.
"She is. Otherwise, why do you think she always dislikes me?”He had long suspected it.
"But I'm a woman! Sister Cuirong shouldn't have…God! No wonder her behavior has been so strange since you came?”How was she going to face Sister Cui Rong in the future?
"Perhaps it's better for the two of you to let her go home.”
"…" She felt sad, but…she thought that she would do it.
After a moment of silence, she asked,""By the way, why didn't I know that you sent someone to the yamen to say those words?”She glanced at him.
"I said I have a way to return those things to their owners.”He just didn't say it earlier.
She turned around to face him. "Sometimes, I don't even know if I know you or not. Who are you? What does he do? And why did he steal that Blood Amber?”
He did not reply to her immediately, which made Liu Wuqing feel a little disappointed.
She remembered that before this farce, he had once said that he would not hold anything back from the people he valued. She had thought that he valued her, but it turned out that she was not…
Why was she so sad about this?
Yang Guhong saw her gloomy expression and his heart tightened. Without hesitation, he hugged her tightly.
