Died In Infancy! My Wife Is Actually A Villain

Nangong Zhu sat in front of her dressing table, opened a wooden box, then frowned slightly, and asked curiously: "Xiao Yao, why don't I have my gilt hairpin, double moon earrings, and a pair of silver bracelets?" I saw it, did you put it somewhere else?"

Xiaoyao said doubtfully: "No! Miss, I have always put these things in the jewelry box for you. If you look for them again, you may have misjudged them."

Hearing that Xiaoyao did not put the things elsewhere, Nangong Zhu looked at his jewelry box again and began to rummage patiently.

After a moment, she said: "Xiaoyao, I still haven't found it."

Xiaoyao hurriedly came over, took Nangong Zhu's jewelry box and rummaged through it carefully, but in the end she still couldn't find the jewelry the lady mentioned.

Xiaoyao couldn't help but wonder: "Miss, do you think the jewelry was stolen by the servants of the house?!"

Nangong Zhu puzzled: "But there are not many people coming and going in this inner courtyard! And even if you want to steal, why only these few items and not all of them?!"

Xiaoyao said: "Miss, I must have put all the things in the jewelry box for you. There is no way they will fall outside. I think most of the servants in the house did not dare to steal too much, so they only took a few items."

Nangong Zhu frowned, "Then what should we do now?!"

These jewelry are all the dowry she brought from her parents' family. Each one is worth a lot of money, enough for ordinary people to eat and drink for a lifetime.

Now that it was lost in such a mysterious way, she must be worried.

And if it is true as Xiaoyao said, it was stolen by the servants of the house.

Then next time she is not in the room, the other party will probably come to steal her things again.

Facing the young lady's doubts, Xiaoyao also shook her head with an embarrassed look on her face, "Miss, I don't know what to do."

It would be nice if the lady could just ask someone to conduct a thorough investigation at the Prime Minister's Mansion.

But now this is Prince Qi’s Mansion.

The prince loves his young lady at all. Although he has the title of princess, he does not have any real power. Even if you tell the prince, the other party will probably not take it seriously.

And in this inner courtyard, it's not the lady who has the final say, it's the prince's concubines who are really in charge.

But they have always been at odds with the lady, so they will definitely not be willing to help.

Nangong Zhu said helplessly: "Forget it, this time is a lesson. In the future, you still have to find a way to hide these valuable things."

She knew her current situation and it was impossible for anyone to help her retrieve these jewelry.

Therefore, this time I can only suffer the loss of being dumb. I will pay more attention in the future.

After that, Nangong Zhu hid his jewelry box in a cabinet that was not easy to find.

After cleaning up everything, Nangong Zhu took Xiaoyao out of the room.

Ever since King Qi learned that Nangong Qin had returned, her freedom had been completely restricted. She could only walk around the large courtyard every day, and even when she wanted to buy things, she could only order the servants in the house.

The purpose was to prevent her from sneaking out and reporting to Nangong Qin.

"Sister Yang, where did you buy this hairpin? It's so beautiful!"

"Sister, this hairpin looks expensive at first glance. Could it be a gift from the prince?"

"I'm so envious of my sister! Your Majesty hasn't given me a gift for a long time."

As soon as I walked out of the room, I heard the prince's four concubines enjoying the cool air in the bamboo pavilion, laughing and chatting.

"Miss, look, look at that hairpin!"

Originally, Nangong Zhu didn't pay attention to them, but Xiaoyao beside her suddenly pulled off her clothes and whispered to her.

Nangong Zhu was stunned for a moment and subconsciously looked into the bamboo pavilion. But when she saw the gold hairpin stuck in Yang's bun, her eyes suddenly froze.

Isn't this my own gold hairpin? !

It was still the twelfth birthday gift given to her by her brother.

At this moment, a woman also noticed Nangong Zhu's figure and looked at Yang next to her with a sneer, "Sister, look, our princess has left the house!"

As soon as these words came out, the other two concubines also quickly looked at Nangong Zhu. Yang's face stiffened slightly, and then he looked at Nangong Zhu.

Seeing that her hairpin was stuck in someone else's bun, Nangong Zhu no longer acted as timidly as before and walked straight towards Yang.

Xiaoyao next to her saw this and immediately followed the young lady's pace.

Seeing Nangong Zhu approaching, Yang not only was not afraid, but asked disdainfully: "I wonder why the princess is here!"

The other three concubines also looked at Nangong Zhu as if they were watching a show.

Nangong Zhu said coldly: "This gilt hairpin is mine, please give it back to me!"

"Cluck...cluck."

Yang picked up her handkerchief and covered her mouth with a chuckle, then raised her eyebrows and looked at Nangong Zhu, saying, "Princess, please don't try to frame me here. I spent a lot of money to buy this gold hairpin, so why does it become yours?" ”

Nangong Zhu said: "The full name of this gilt hairpin is Butterfly Play Double Flower Gilt Hairpin. It is exquisitely and meticulously carved, and the colorful flowers and butterflies on the tail of the hairpin are lifelike and lifelike. Unworldly craftsmen can make them. This gilt hairpin has been with me for four or five years. No one knows it better than me.”

Yang's face turned pale, but she still tried her best to hide it and said: "There are so many skilled craftsmen in Kyoto, how did you know that no one can carve it out?"

Nangong Zhu said: "Anyone with this skill is also a master in Kyoto, so the cost must be high, and this colorful flower butterfly is made of pure gold, which ordinary people can't afford!"

This Yang is just a concubine. No matter how favored she is, the prince will only give her a few dozen taels of silver a month at most.

Even if she saved enough money to buy this gilt hairpin, would she be willing to buy it? !

Hearing this, Yang's face suddenly darkened, and she said rather unhappy: "What do you mean by that! I don't think I can afford the money to buy a hairpin."

The three concubines next to her also knew that their sister was angry, so they stood nearby and did not dare to speak casually.

"This hairpin originally belonged to my young lady. If you refuse to admit it, please return the gilt hairpin to my young lady!" Xiao Yao couldn't help but help Nangong Zhu.

"It's you bitch again!"

Yang stared at Xiaoyao next to Nangong Zhu with cold eyes, and the anger in her heart had reached the extreme.

Immediately, she looked at the slaves in the bamboo pavilion and ordered loudly: "Come here, catch this bitch and slap her with fifty big sticks!"

Seeing that Yang wanted to torture Xiaoyao, Nangong Zhu immediately protected her, "I am the princess of Prince Qi's mansion, who of you dares to come over and try!"

After being scolded by Nangong Zhu, the slaves who were about to take action immediately stopped and looked at Yang with hesitant expressions.

Seeing that her slaves did not obey the arrangement, Yang became even more disgusted with Nangong Zhu and shouted: "What good can an unpopular princess do! Do you want to listen to her or mine in this compound?! "

After hearing Yang's reminder, the slaves who were still hesitating also made their choice and slowly walked towards Nangong Zhu and the others one by one.
