Princess Consort Is No Pushover

On the other side, when Su Cheng rushed back to the government office in a hurry, he ran into the housekeeper who ran towards him.

He immediately asked: "Butler, how is it, is the fire out?"

The housekeeper wrinkled his old face, and said doubtfully, "Master, I went to see it, and there was no fire in our mansion. It was because a few piles of wet straw were set on fire, and there was such a huge thick smoke. I don't know who deliberately lighted wet grass in the four corners of the government office to make such a big commotion."

"What? Then why were everyone shouting for fire just now?" Su Cheng said angrily.

"It may be that someone saw the thick smoke and thought it was a fire, so they yelled everywhere to remind everyone. Unexpectedly, it was not a fire at all, but someone was playing a prank." The housekeeper analyzed.

Su Cheng suddenly narrowed his eyes viciously, "Who the hell dares to play pranks in this official's office?"

"My lord, our house has always been peaceful. This kind of thing didn't happen until Mr. Chu and his party came. Tell me, are they responsible for this incident?" The housekeeper narrowed his eyes and said.

"Young Master Chu?" As soon as Su Cheng mentioned this name, a trace of doubt flashed in his eyes.

"My lord, so you are here, so I can easily find you." At this time, an elegant and indifferent voice came from the path next to it.

Su Cheng hurriedly looked back, and saw Chu Xuanchen, who was dressed in white, was supporting Yun Ruoyue who was wearing a veil, and walked over anxiously.

A chrysanthemum bloomed on his face immediately, "Did Mr. Chu have something to do with me this late at night?"

"I heard that there was a fire outside, so I wanted to remind my lord to pay attention to safety. My lord, are you okay?" Chu Xuanchen said lightly.

"I'm fine, thank you for your concern, Young Master. Young Master, are you husband and wife not scared?" Su Cheng asked.

His eyes stared at Chu Xuanchen suspiciously, wanting to see if there was any guilty conscience on his face.

It's a pity that Chu Xuanchen's expression was very calm, and he didn't feel guilty at all.

Chu Xuanchen shook his head, "Don't worry, my lord, we're fine, we're just doing well, why is there a fire around this mansion? My lord, have thieves entered this mansion?"

Su Cheng stared at Chu Xuanchen viciously, with even more suspicion in his eyes, "It's not a fire, but someone deliberately lit wet grass around as a prank to create the illusion of a fire! This must be someone with ulterior motives. The government offices are all fine, I don’t know why such a thing happened this time?”

The implication is that the accident happened when Chu Xuanchen and the others came to the government office, so it must have something to do with them.

Chu Xuanchen curled his lips lightly, noncommittal.

"Master, it's not good. I saw a masked thief in night clothes. He sneaked into your wing to steal things." At this time, not far away, a servant's panicked voice came.

"What? You said that there were thieves in the mansion, and you still want to steal from me?" Su Cheng said angrily.

Chu Xuanchen also said: "My lord, when I talked about this, I also remembered it. Just now there was a masked man in black who sneaked into the yard where I lived. After being discovered by my guards, he ran away. You say, Are they alone?"

"What? Thieves have broken into your yard too?" Su Cheng was stunned.

It seems that this incident has nothing to do with Mr. Chu, he is also a victim.

At this time, the family member said in fear and trepidation: "Master, after seeing that thief come out of your room, I went to..."

"Just what? Why don't you hurry up!" Su Cheng said anxiously.
