"You, you are speaking nonsense! I didn't stuff my pockets with the resources. How come you guys are searching through my things?" Housekeeper Zhou raised his neck, not letting them search through his things no matter what!
Dong Ling stated: "Whether if there is or not, we will find out once we take a look! Housekeeper Zhou, later on, Princess wants you to take people to search the other rooms. If you are not able to convince the masses, who will let you search them later on?"
Housekeeper Zhou's face was pale white. The cold sweat dripped down and he secretly took a look at Concubine Qin as well as Xiao Yuan Cheng.
Concubine Qin's face was pale white to its extremes. Xiao Yuan Cheng was also infuriated, turning around to Huang Bei Yue: "How come you want to search the rooms all of a sudden?"
This matter, this girl had never mentioned it in the past! It was sudden that they were now unexpected!
Huang Bei Yue laughed in her heart. Of course, she needed to do this suddenly. Otherwise, she will notify them earlier on so that they can be prepared and hide all the items?
"This matter, I had also only thought about it recently. Before, I just remembered so I let Dong Ling to go do it." Huang Bei Yue raised her head, smiling as though nothing happened. There was not a look as though she had plotted this before.
"Housekeeper Zhou's personality, I believe him. He is someone that my mother had left, making him stay. He absolutely wouldn't be stuffing his pockets and colluding with outsiders to harm the prefecture of Princess Zhang."
Xiao Yuan Cheng was silent. The body was faintly trembling. The anger was about to explode!
"Since you believe him then there is no need to search! Housekeeper Zhou is an old man of the prefecture. Now that you do this, wouldn't this harm everyone's feelings?"
"That is also true ah. But now that so many boxes are carried out. If we don't search it, everyone's heart will probably not be convinced." After she finished, Huang Bei Yue raised her eyes. The cold gaze faintly swept from the front hall to the yard to all the servants and maids' bodies.
Everyone who interacted with her cold and icy glance all moved back. They harshly gulped their saliva.
"Does everyone think there should be the need to search or no?" She picked up the teacup and slowly opened her mouth, inquiring.
Those maids and servants all looked at each other. In the end, they all surrendered under Huang Bei Yue's powerful imposing manner, all nodding their heads.
"Search! Search!"
"After searching the housekeeper, we will then be convinced!"
"Right, we definitely need to search it!"
****
Xiao Yuan Cheng really wanted to clap his hand on the table, dragging these servants who had moved to the other side and slaughtering them!
But once he saw this type of situation, in Xiao Yuan Cheng's heart, it was also in chaos. All the things in the boxes were private treasures from the prefecture of Princess Zhang.
He saw that they were pretty good so he took them all out. One part of it, he left them down to keep for himself. Another part of it, he told housekeeper Zhou to look after them. These two days, he was going to go around to form relationships with others, gifting the bosses gifts in order to steady his position in the military.
Conveniently, his position as the Emperor's son-in-law should be raised as well. All these years, could it be that his whole life, he could only be the Emperor's son-in-law?
He had already let housekeeper Zhou make movements on the account books. Many gold coins were also transferred out. Little by little, it was all stored in Lan Mu Card, ready to be sent out.
Now, all these things were locked in the boxes. If they were to search the boxes, wouldn't it be revealing that he had been making housekeeper Zhou making fake account books?
It really was God's plans supersede our own. He should've placed the items in the space ring. But in the past, he had been thinking about gifting them to people so he had taken them all out. Plus, how could he have possibly thought that Huang Bei Yue would suddenly change as a person?
However, it wasn't that easy for Huang Bei Yue to search it either. The keys to the boxes, he had been personally keeping them. This type of heavy locks and metal boxes were especially used by noble families to hide items. It was not easily opened.
Once he thought up to here, Xiao Yuan Cheng was slightly more comforted. He silently made a look towards housekeeper Zhou.
The housekeeper Zhou understood, exclaiming: "Princess, it's not that this servant doesn't let you search it but that the key to this box, I had lost it a couple of days ago. Such a heavy box, today, we probably won't be able to open it. How about you search it next time. After all, this box won't be able to run away anyway."
"Unable to open this…" Huang Bei Yue slowly played with the leaves within the teacup. She suddenly smiled and took out a black dagger from her space ring: "This is the icy dagger that the Lord's father had just gifted me. I heard that it peels metal off as though it was mud. I'm not sure if I am able to use this to open the lock. Dong Ling, you go try this."
"Yes." Dong Ling walked up to pick up the dagger.
Xiao Yuan Cheng quickly stood up: "No!"
Huang Bei Yue raised her head to ask: "Why not? Even if that lock is damaged, I will repay a better one to housekeeper Zhou."
Xiao Yuan Cheng's face was turning ugly and the two hands tightly formed fists. The bones were cracking.
Huang Bei Yue stared at his expression and coldly laughed. Today, she was only punishing an individual to set an example for others. She definitely will search that housekeeper Zhou and take the evidence that he was stuffing his pockets with resources. Next, she will have the excuse to reorganize the financial affairs within the prefecture without restraint!
That housekeeper Zhou, today, she must teach him a lesson. She didn't care if Xiao Yuan Cheng would let her or not. I – Huang Bei Yue wanted to do the things, you have the ability to stop me?
"The Lord's father had already said so today, for me to tidy up the family manners. There must be someone to take the lead. Housekeeper Zhou, all these years, you had contributed to the prefecture a lot and am old now. Don't blame me for making it feel as though you are wronged. It's all those who resort to a negative style of manner and stuffed their pockets who were traitors, causing mischief! When this Princess catches them, I will harshly peel their skins off and help you vent your anger!"
It was still good when housekeeper Zhou hadn't listened to this but when he heard this, goosebumps appeared all over his body.
Peel off their skins…
There was no one here who dared to take Huang Bei Yue's as a joke. Today, the harsh methods in which she killed the servant, everyone had witnessed this. Who dared to be suspicious that she was just joking?
Housekeeper Zhou hurriedly cast a look towards Xiao Yuan Cheng, begging for help. This Huang Bei Yue was the real daughter of the Lord. As long as the Lord had made an order, so what if she was the Princess? Could it be that she will refuse her own father?
Xiao Yuan Cheng also had this decision in mind. But he knew that Huang Bei Yue was no the normal type of daughter. This girl, with one mouth, was able to make things seem more exaggerated and such. He needed to think about what to say.
"Looks like even father had agreed to this. Dong Ling, open the box."
Xiao Yuan Cheng was not even given time to think about what to say when Huang Bei Yue had already commanded Dong Ling.
Dong Ling moved quickly, bypassing housekeeper Zhou and the dagger had landed. The lock heavily landed on the ground and when housekeeper Zhou saw this, he pounced on it. The entire body pressed down against the box.
"Housekeeper Zhou, what are you doing? In this box, could it be that there are some things that we shouldn't be seeing?" Dong Ling turned her head around to inquire.
Housekeeper Zhou shook his head continuously: "No! There is nothing!"
Xiao Yuan Cheng yelled: "Enough! What is there to search? Bei Yue, you had done enough disturbance today! Go back to your room and rest!"
"Disturbance?" Huang Bei Yue's face slowly turned cold. She dropped the teacup, standing up: "What father had said made my heart feel chilling ah! Today, the Lord's father had made clear to me to tidy up the family manners. I am young so I am afraid I won't be able to convince the masses so I wanted to start from housekeeper Zhou in order to set an example. However, the father is saying that I am making a disturbance? Bei Yue had placed a lot of thoughts into this, isn't that all for the prefecture of Princess Zhang!"
"But it's going over the lines by searching through the rooms!" Xiao Yuan Cheng shouted. That box had been opened. If the items inside were seen by everyone, then he would…
