"Tsk, tsk, what a shameless thief, he stole something from our royal guest, and he still dares to put on airs?"

Standing in the courtyard was a middle-aged woman with high cheekbones and slender eyes. She pointed at the tip of Xia Qingyao's nose and cursed: "Looking at your charming appearance, I know you are not a good girl. How did your parents teach you that?"

you!"

Xia Qingyao narrowed his eyes, a cold light flashed in his eyes.

Cao Jin, Su Yurou's wet nurse, served Su Yurou for ten years and now works as an errand in the palace.

On the surface, Cao Jin just changed his job as an errand, but in fact, he was an internal agent specially arranged by Mrs. Zhang of the Marquis of Zhenyuan to help Su Yurou climb to the top of the palace.

Very few people know about the relationship between Cao Jin and Su Yurou. If she hadn't suffered a loss in her previous life...

Xia Qingyao smiled sarcastically. If the prey came to her door, it would be equivalent to Su Yurou stretching her face for her to hit. Wouldn't it be a loss if she didn't hit?

"This mama must have admitted the wrong person? I am the female doctor invited by the palace to treat the princess. I am currently considering the princess's prescription. If you make such a mistake, aren't you afraid of delaying my diagnosis and treatment of the princess?"

"Bah! Just you? Don't think that people don't know that your father is a quack doctor, and you are just a wild girl who grew up in a place of exile..." Cao Jin cursed loudly.

Xia Qingyao seemed to be angry, so she rushed up and slapped her in the face.

With a "pop" sound, Cao Jin was hit so hard that his head tilted, his ears buzzed, and he didn't react for a long time.

"You dare to hit me?"

"After all, I am the female doctor who treats the princess. You are so disrespectful. Which servant are you from? Call your master."

"You deserve it!" Cao Jin roared.

In Cao Jin's heart, Su Yurou is just like her own daughter. Xia Qingyao bullied Su Yurou and now beats her. How can she give up?

"Little whore, let me teach you a lesson first!"

Cao Jin didn't care, and rushed towards Xia Qingyao, scolding and beating her. Her sharp voice sounded like a broken gong, which attracted many servants outside to poke their heads in the air, and some of them immediately went to pay homage to the gods.

Xia Qing held a silver needle as thin as an ox's hair between her fingers, and while dodging, she targeted the painful acupuncture points with her black hands. Cao Jin couldn't hit anyone, but he was "beaten" with waves of cramp-like pain, and he was angry.

She was furious:

"What a black-hearted bitch, look at me, I'm going to take your skin off!"

From the corner of her eye, Xia Qingyao saw a group of people approaching from a distance outside the wide open courtyard door, and was immediately pushed to the ground by Cao Jin.

"Ah!" Xia Qingyao exclaimed, with tears in her eyes, "Prince Chen's palace has always had a good reputation. The princess is noble and elegant, and the prince is strict in handling affairs. I never expected that there would be a servant like you who deceives guests."

Cao Jin turned her back to the door and became even more angry when she saw Xia Qingyao looking like this.

"Who do you think you are? What kind of master are you showing off to me!"

"Aunt Cao, I really can't take the blame for you. I'm here to treat the princess. The princess's symptoms are the most important. If you stole the hairpin, just return it to Miss Su quickly. How can you think of finding someone else?

Scape?"

"What?" Cao Jin's eyes widened.

"Okay, what's the fuss about?" At this time, a clear female voice came.

Xia Qingyao turned around and saw a beautiful woman in her prime, wearing a purple embroidered jacket and a gold phoenix hairpin on her head. She had a delicate appearance and a voluptuous figure. She walked in the door first, holding the hand of a woman.

Behind her, Murong Zheng, Murong Tong, Su Yurou and others also arrived.

"I've met Concubine Xu." Everyone saluted in unison.

Xia Qingyao also followed to salute.

In my memory, Concubine Xu was born into a noble family. It was probably less than three years since she was accepted by Prince Chen, and she was at her most prosperous.

Concubine Xu must have wanted to take the opportunity to drive her out, because without the doctor, Princess Chen could die of illness and have a chance to heal herself.

"No need." Concubine Xu stood up, held her mother-in-law's hand and walked to Xia Qingyao.

"Why, I just heard what you said, but it was our servants from Prince Chen's Palace who stole Miss Su's hairpin and then came back to force you to top the cylinder?"

Xia Qingyao stood up and nodded: "That's true."

"You fart!" Cao Jin's face turned red and he pointed at Xia Qingyao and scolded her.

A nun next to Concubine Xu immediately scolded her: "Shut up, how dare you make a mistake in front of Concubine Xu?"

Cao Jin was startled by the scolding, and knelt down without saying a word.

"Our Prince Chen's Mansion has always had to verify the origins and character of the people employed. Unless they are from a pure family background and have good moral character, they are not qualified to work as servants in our Prince's Mansion."

Concubine Xu sat casually on the beauty couch in the corridor and waved her light purple gauze handkerchief towards Xia Qingyao.

"According to my concubine's opinion, the only person who is really likely to steal is you, an outsider. We, the servants of Prince Chen's Mansion, cannot be thieves."

When Xia Qingyao heard this, she immediately made an expression as if she had been struck by lightning, and turned to look at Murong Tong with tearful eyes, looking helpless.

"I really didn't steal. I was only thinking about treating the princess. I couldn't think of anything else." At the end of the sentence, he actually covered his face and cried in grievance.

If she didn't cover her face, she was afraid that her expression would reveal her true feelings.

Because based on her understanding of Murong Tong, as long as she lights the fire, she will see a "dog eats dog" show.

Murong Tong's heart skipped a beat when he saw Xia Qingyao. He and his mother and concubine were on the same boat. How could he let Concubine Xu drive the miracle doctor out now?

Regardless of whether Xia Qingyao stole the hairpin or not, Su Yurou could only be wronged now.

Murong Tong then asked Su Yurou beside him softly: "Rou'er, think about it again, did you wear that hairpin? Don't forget it in the room and cause a misunderstanding with Miss Xia."

Su Yurou's heart skipped a beat and she looked up at Murong Tong in disbelief.

Just now she followed Xia Qingyao into the princess's bedroom, and she had quietly told Murong Tong that the hairpin he gave her had been stolen by Xia Qingyao. At that time, Murong Tong also said that he would help her vent her anger.

Why did Murong Tong start helping Xia Qingyao in the blink of an eye?

What drug did Xia Qingyao use on him?

Or...Murong Tong knew that Xia Qingyao was the real legitimate daughter of Zhenyuan Hou Mansion?

Su Yurou's heart turned over and over again, countless thoughts came to her, and her expression almost became distorted.

Xia Qingyao saw through her fingers that Murong Tong had indeed made Su Yurou suffer for the sake of the "overall situation". She felt very happy when she thought of how he treated her in her previous life.

Su Yurou pursed her lips: "Since Sister Xia likes that hairpin..."

"Since Miss Su likes that hairpin so much, why don't you tell me what that hairpin looks like? I'll try to find a similar one for you, so just stop making trouble, okay?"

Xia Qingyao imitated Su Yurou's usual gentle and sensible attitude, who would rather be wronged than others to be happy, and said with a tearful smile: "Miss Su, we still have to put the princess's body first."

Su Yurou's words were blocked. She was speechless for a moment, her face turned red, and she was too anxious to speak. Tears immediately burst out: "I, I..."

"That's enough." An impatient deep male voice scared Su Yurou's words back.

"You will know who the thief is with just one search."

Everyone turned around and saw Murong Zheng, who was dressed in black, with white skin and red lips, and a manic look on his face.

Xia Qingyao imitated Su Yurou's aggrieved look in the past, and said obediently: "Then search, just search from me first."

Su Yurou was extremely anxious.

The hairpin was still lying in her dowry box. If it were found, wouldn't she be disgraced?
