Chapter 202 The Road(1/2)
Jiang Youning breathed a sigh of relief when he heard this. It was a matter of joy that everyone was gathered together safely.
"Princess has been hanging around Xie Jing almost all day today. Forget about me talking to him, we can't even meet him."
Xue Yi learned from Yuan Bao that Xie Jing was rescued by the princess and had been living in the princess's mansion. She was in a coma for a long time.
The princess confuses the real with the fake, and her purpose is obvious.
"The princess doesn't want the general to leave, so she guards him so tightly. The princess should know that it would be easy for the general to leave if he recovers from his injuries. This is why so many people are sent to guard him."
Jiang Youning curled her lips and said, "Dear princess, do you want any man? If you use this method to get a man, it won't be sweet if you force yourself to do it, and it may even clog your teeth."
Xue Ji couldn't help laughing when he heard this, "This is the first time I've seen the princess like this."
Yuan Bao frowned. No one could understand the Sixth Princess better than him. The Sixth Princess had a gloomy temper and she would definitely get what she wanted.
If she likes something, she will do whatever it takes to get it.
Now that she likes Xie Jing, she will use all means to get him.
"It's better to rescue Xie Jing as soon as possible, otherwise the princess will find ways to keep Xie Jing by her side."
Xue Yi said: "Let's go over and take a look."
Yuan Bao nodded, "Yeah."
Jiang Youning heard this and warned: "You must be careful and don't let others see you."
Xue Yi and Yuan Bao said in unison, "Don't worry, I can do it."
After the two of them finished speaking, they took advantage of the darkness and left the side room one after another.
Jiang Youning sighed helplessly and was about to get up and leave when she saw a black figure walking over not far away.
Jiang Youning was startled, watching the black figure gradually approaching, she asked: "Who?"
"It turns out to be Chef Jiang. I thought there was a thief. Why are you up at midnight?"
Chef Li got up at night, and when she came back, she saw someone standing in the corner. When she got closer, she realized it was Chef Jiang.
Thinking of how Mrs. Wang slapped her in public today and ordered her to chop firewood and wash vegetables, I always hated Chef Jiang in my heart.
When Jiang Youning saw Chef Li, he didn't like her the first time he saw her. As expected, people who don't like her are very scheming.
"I couldn't sleep, so I went out for a walk and then I went back."
Jiang Youning didn't want to get into any more trouble with Chef Li, so she walked towards the room after speaking.
But before he took a few steps, Chef Li grabbed his wrist: "You stayed up in the middle of the night and wandered out in the middle of the winter? Who would believe me? He must have come out to steal things."
After Chef Li finished speaking, she shouted loudly: "Come here, catch the thief!"
Jiang Youning saw that Chef Li framed her indiscriminately, "What nonsense are you talking about?"
She struggled desperately, but still couldn't break away from Chef Li's hand.
Chef Li has been doing hard work since she was a child, and her hands are a bit strong, so naturally Jiang Youning can't compare to her.
Jiang Youning was so angry that she raised her foot and stepped hard on Chef Li's instep, causing Chef Li to scream in pain.
"Ah!!! It hurts!"
Chef Li fell to the ground, hugging her feet and crying and shouting: "Everyone, come out and catch the thief!"
Chef Li has a loud voice, and her voice just now alarmed the people nearby. Now they all ran over to her as if they were frightened by the sound.
Some people held lanterns in their hands, and the originally dark corridor became brighter.
"Where is the thief?"
"Who is the thief?"
When Chef Li saw everyone coming out, she cried and pointed at Jiang Youning and shouted, "It's her. She stayed up late at night and was sneaking around. She might have stolen something. She even stepped on my feet and tried to escape."
When Jiang Youning saw that Chef Li was confusing right and wrong, she explained: "I didn't steal anything. She grabbed me and insisted on saying that I stole things, so I stepped on her feet."
Madam Wang walked out from behind the crowd. When she saw this scene, she guessed that Chef Li must have done it on purpose.
"What is it called? You stay up in the middle of the night and don't let others sleep?"
Jiang Youning saw Mrs. Wang coming and knew that she was speaking for him.
How could Mrs. Li not hear that Mrs. Wang was speaking for Jiang Youning?
She snorted: "Madam Wang, I saw with my own eyes that Chef Jiang stayed up late at night and was sneaking around. She must be doing something shameful. Madam Wang, you have no control over this place. You have to find the housekeeper and tell the princess
Go, if something important is lost in the mansion, no one can afford it."
Some people in the crowd began to echo.
"Cook Li is right. If something is lost, you won't be able to explain it at that time. It's better to inform the housekeeper."
"That's right, if you let Chef Jiang go and then you find out that something is missing and blame it on us, that would be too unfair."
"I also called the housekeeper to come and check carefully to see if anything is missing. If it is missing, it would be better to search on the spot. I won't wrongly accuse a good person, and I won't let a bad person go."
Madam Wang frowned when she heard this. She really didn't control this place, and she couldn't do it for her.
Jiang Youning knew that Chef Li was resenting her, so she used the topic to make her suffer a hidden loss.
"I didn't steal anything, just call the housekeeper."
Someone went to call the housekeeper at this time.
After waiting for a while, the housekeeper hurried over. Seeing a group of people gathering together, he coughed lightly: "What's going on? What are you doing?"
When Chef Li saw the housekeeper coming, she exclaimed: "Housekeeper, I woke up at night and saw Chef Jiang staying up late at night, sneaking around, and doing something sinister. I was afraid that she would steal something from the house.
Something, so I specially asked everyone to come and have a look. Chef Jiang felt guilty and stepped on my foot to escape, but I tried my best to stop her."
Jiang Youning couldn't help but roll her eyes. It would be a pity if she didn't use her acting skills. Her ability to confuse right and wrong is not small. "
After hearing this, the housekeeper looked at Chef Li a few times by the firelight in the lantern, and saw that she was sitting on the ground holding her feet. She must have had leg pain.
He raised his head and looked at Jiang Youning again, and asked in a cold voice: "What's going on? What are you doing when you're not sleeping?"
Jiang Youning explained: "I just fell asleep and had a dream. I dreamed of my parents. I woke up all of a sudden. I couldn't fall asleep together, so I went out for a walk. Just when I was about to go back to sleep, I was woken up by Chef Li.
She stopped her and refused to let her go, saying that I had stolen something, so I was so angry that I stepped on her foot."
After hearing this, Chef Li let out a "poof" and said, "You have done something shameful at first glance. Housekeeper, you have to investigate carefully. If something is lost, the princess will blame it and no one can afford it."
.”
The housekeeper thought for a while and said, "Then check carefully to see if there is anything missing."
Chef Li felt proud after hearing this. When she looked at Jiang Youning, she looked at her with schadenfreude. The house was so big that it was normal for things to be thrown away. Jiang Youning couldn't even hide this time.
An hour had passed since the search was completed, and everyone was standing in the wind, feeling cold, sleepy, and a little impatient.
The servant came over and reported, "Butler, we searched a lot and found two small items missing."
After hearing this, Chef Li immediately shouted, "Look, I was right, Chef Jiang must have stolen it."
Jiang Youning: "..." I have never seen such a shameless person.
The butler frowned and asked, "What was lost?"
The servant replied: "A feather duster and a teacup."
After hearing this, Mrs. Wang laughed and said, "Who stole the feather duster and the teacup? Is it possible that someone forgot where to put the feather duster? The teacup may have been broken by a careless girl, and she didn't tell it for fear of being punished. Housekeeper, what do you think? ?
Hearing this, the butler felt that what Madam Wang said was reasonable. He waved his hand and said, "That's it, let's go. I have to get up early tomorrow."
As soon as the housekeeper spoke, everyone dispersed in a hurry, remembering to go back and get into bed to sleep.
Madam Wang glared at Chef Li, "If your mind is not right, you will suffer big losses sooner or later."
As Madam Wang spoke, she took Jiang Youning's hand and said, "Let's go back to bed, it's freezing to death."
Jiang Youning nodded, glanced at Chef Li, and followed Mrs. Wang back to the house.
Chef Li didn't vent her anger. She was so angry that she didn't believe it and couldn't deal with that girl.
Xue Yi and Yuan Bao originally took advantage of the dark and windy night to see Xie Jing, but before they could go to Yunxuan Court, they heard that a thief had entered the house, so they did not dare to act rashly.
When they returned the same way, they saw this scene.
Yuan Bao was so angry that she dared to slander Jiang Youning. Who gave her the courage?
Xue Yi was also very angry. He saw that Chef Li was a shrew. He never hit a woman, so he wanted to slap her.
After everyone left, I saw Chef Li alone.
Sui and Yuan Bao looked at each other and immediately understood what the other wanted to do.
The two of them came up behind Chef Li at the same time.
Yuan Bao raised his hand and tapped Chef Li's acupuncture points.
Chef Li's whole body froze in place, and the gloomy look behind her made her hair stand up in fear.
Xue Yi went up and slapped her twice, so fast that no one had time to catch her.
Chef Li's face was burning with pain. If she could open her mouth, blood and teeth would probably fall out.
