Sun was furious, her face flushed red, and she glared at Ouyang Wu fiercely, unable to say anything for a while.
"She stole Yang'er's jade pendant. If she is not beaten to death today, how can the whole mansion be managed in the future? Jin Ma--"
"Madam, the dowry my mother handed over to you was worth more than a thousand jade pendants. If mother insists that A Xiu stole it, then why not deduct one from it." Ouyang Wu smiled lightly and said without comment, "If there is nothing else, I will help A Xiu go back. Madam, you also know that A Xiu is the only one working in my yard. I can't live without her."
The calm tone, fearless eyes, and the frightening momentum all made Sun stunned.
"If mother insists on beating Xiu to death, that's fine, but if things get out of hand, don't blame me, Madam."
Sun stared at Ouyang Wu with a hint of malice in her eyes, and she felt a little panic in her heart. If things get out of hand, the fifth girl will take the opportunity to ask for her mother's dowry back, and then she will lose more than she gains.
After pondering for a long time, Sun suppressed her anger and slowly said, "Since you insist on protecting her, then take her back! But if this girl does it again in the future, I will hold you accountable!"
Ouyang Wu looked around and smiled lightly: "If no one provokes her, she will not do it again."
After that, she smiled coldly, stroked Xiu and walked out of the crowded main courtyard, and so many people around were silent, watching Ouyang Wu leave smoothly.
Usually, Sun controlled the backyard like the queen mother, but from this moment on, there was a crack in the kingdom she controlled...
In the most remote courtyard at the west corner gate of the Zuo Xiangfu.
Ouyang Wu helped Ah Xiu lie on the shabby bed, sat down on the edge of the bed, and sighed: "Poor girl, you have suffered these days."
Ah Xiu's eyes were slightly red, tears rolled down, but the corners of her mouth raised a bright smile, and she shook her head repeatedly: "It's not bitter, I am not bitter at all, I know that the young lady will definitely come to save Ah Xiu. They are choked to see the young lady holding her head high in front of them, and I am happy in my heart, not bitter at all."
"Silly girl." Ouyang Wu sighed while applying medicine to her, "But don't worry, from now on, he will When they cry!"
"Well, Xiu believes in you!"
Ouyang Wu nodded: "I will help you get back what you suffered today, just focus on healing."
"Actually, you don't have to do it for Xiu..."
"Not just for you." A cold light flashed in Ouyang Wu's clear eyes, "You know, they wanted to hit me with the board today, but I am the master anyway, so I let you take it for me."
Ouyang Wu smiled coldly, she would never let go of this grudge. It has never been her character to suffer in silence.
The night is cold. The dark sky is inlaid with a few broken stars, and the earth is covered with a black veil.
Ouyang Wu put her hands behind her head and lay quietly on the bed, her eyes closed but she did not fall asleep. The events of today flashed before her eyes, every word and every expression of Sun... Suddenly, a flash of inspiration flashed through her mind, and she sat up from the bed.
She just said that General Sun brought back wealth from the war, but Sun's reaction was so big, which was enough to show that she was guilty.
Could it be that General Sun really brought back a lot of wealth this time? And he didn't hand it over to the court?
As the saying goes, the poor are the civil servants and the rich are the military. If the soldiers who led the army to fight were a little more evil, they could get rich by eating empty salaries, and if they broke through the city and robbed, the gains would be rich enough to rival a country.
Ouyang Wu couldn't sit still when she thought of the boxes of ill-gotten gains piled up in the Sun Mansion. How could she not be jealous? If it were someone else, it would be difficult, but she was not an ordinary person. She had a powerful cheating device - a portable space, which solved the biggest problem - transportation.
Didn't Sun Yaoyang falsely accuse Ah Xiu of stealing his jade pendant? Humph, how could she be framed for nothing? Then let's steal it in the true sense of the word.
It's just a pity. Since it's a treasure, the Sun family will naturally do everything possible to hide it in a secret place where no one can find it. Where can she find it? Ouyang Wu leaned against the head of the bed depressedly, lost in thought. After thinking for a while, she still couldn't figure it out, and couldn't help muttering to herself: "How should I find it? Where is it hidden?"
"Master is so stupid!"
A voice of disgust suddenly flashed through Ouyang Wu's mind.
"Little Qilin?" Ouyang Wu asked.
"With my little Qilin, the most intelligent and invincible divine beast in the world, the master is still worried about this problem. Alas, there is no hope." In the space, the little Qilin skillfully used his tail to hold the football and sighed repeatedly.
Ouyang Wu instantly flashed into the space, grabbed the little Qilin, and raised it to her level with her eyes, her eyes excited: "Oh my, cute and smart little Qilin, tell me how to find the treasure?" The little Qilin pulled the corner of his mouth proudly: "Master, don't you know that your magic pet has the skill of automatic treasure hunting?" "Automatic treasure hunting?" Ouyang Wu looked up and down at the flat-haired animal in front of him, while the other party raised his chin proudly and shook his tail proudly. "That's good! If I don't move the Sun Mansion clean this time, I won't be surnamed Ouyang!" Ouyang Wu was in a good mood. You didn't have the surname Ouyang... Looking at the towering Seven Treasures Pagoda, the little Qilin said this, but didn't say it. Ouyang Wu didn't notice the little Qilin's hesitant expression. After changing his clothes and mask, he left the space in high spirits, pushed open the window, and his figure was as light as a civet cat, and instantly disappeared in the vast night.
The most prosperous place in the capital.
Sun Mansion.
Princess Chenghu has a son and a daughter.
Daughter Sun married Ouyang Liu and is now a first-rank imperial lady.
Son Sun Bingyi is the general of Pingxi in the current dynasty. He is a first-rank official and was also granted the title of Ninghou. He is the most powerful official and has a unique reputation.
As expected of the Sun Mansion, it is indeed magnificent. Looking from afar, clusters of pavilions and towers inlaid with gold and silver are exquisite and unique, and courtyards are gorgeous and majestic.
Two to four in the morning is the time when people sleep the most soundly every day. This time period is also the time when people are the most tired and exhausted, and the defense is the weakest.
The night is as dark as thick ink, deeply wrapping everything on the earth and hiding it.
Ouyang Wu is very skilled. His light body quietly crosses the wall and lands on the ground like a civet cat without making any sound. In the pitch-dark night, no one in the Sun Mansion noticed the thieves coming.
The little Qilin in the space made a precise calculation of the distribution of patrol soldiers in the Sun Mansion, and found the safest and most secure road to point out to Ouyang Wu.
"Go left fifty steps, then turn right." The little Qilin with navigation function reminded Ouyang Wu in his mind.
Ouyang Wu walked very fast, quickly walked fifty steps to the left, and then turned right to see a wide road. At this time, a pair of soldiers in armor were coming in formation.
These soldiers had fought bloody battles on the battlefield, and they all had stern faces and walked in unison, with a murderous aura.
Ouyang Wu leaned against the wall and held his breath, waiting for the patrol soldiers to leave, and then moved forward intermittently according to the instructions of the little Qilin. If she encountered a corner or tree shadow that she could hide in, she would hide in advance; if she couldn't hide in a place, she would not panic, because she had the help of her portable space, and with the little Qilin telling her the route and warning her in advance, Ouyang Wu went deep into the inner courtyard of the Sun Mansion without any obstacles.
The little Qilin could sense the spiritual energy within a close distance, and the place with rich spiritual energy was naturally where the treasure was hidden.
"We are almost there." In her mind, the voice of the little Qilin suddenly became serious, and it reminded in a low voice.
"Is this... the utility room?" Ouyang Wu was a little surprised for a moment. But then she was relieved. The most dangerous place is the safest place. No one would have thought that General Sun's large amount of treasures were placed in the utility room so openly, right?
Two soldiers were guarding the door of the utility room. At this moment, he was leaning against the door frame, nodding his head and dozing off.
Ouyang Wu smiled and approached quietly, spreading a faint fragrance, which made them fall into a deep sleep.
Ouyang Wu quickly used the master key to open the golden lock that General Sun had hired the best blacksmith in the capital to make. She caught the golden lock and locked it. Ouyang Wu slowly opened the door and slipped in, then gently closed the door. The whole action was as smooth as flowing water, and the people watching were amazed. From the outside, except for the two armored soldiers who were dozing with their heads down, there was nothing suspicious at the scene.
