While scolding, Xue Dafu chased after Emperor Hao and beat him up.
Emperor Hao, who was hiding with his head in his hands, felt that he couldn't clear his name even if he jumped into the river.
In the kitchen, when Jiang Yue and Xue Yan heard Xue Dafu angrily curse, they knew that the Emperor had been exposed.
Liu Guixia was about to go into the kitchen to see if the two children needed her help. When she heard her husband screaming that there was a thief, she immediately grabbed the hoe leaning against the courtyard and rushed to the back while shouting, "Yihu, Erhu, wake up! There's a thief!"
Xue Yifu and Xue Erfu also heard their father's voice. They didn't even have time to light up lamps or put on their coats. They all got up and left the room. They also grabbed their weapons and went to the back.
