Chapter C34 – Internal Thieves
Proofread by Nie Qiao
“What’s the matter? Do you suspect him?” Yan Ling asks with her frowned eyebrows.
In fact, in the past moment Yan Ling is subconsciously trying to refute. Although she doesn’t know why, Yan Ling is almost certain that it can’t be Nan Yan.
“Ling’er, we may know a man’s exterior but not his heart. Now in this situation, you can’t believe completely even the person who has been following you all the time. What’s more, you have only known him for a few months?” Liang He says.
Just in a moment, Liang He notices Yan Ling’s suddenly changed mood and feels a little uncomfortable. It seems that he is dissatisfied with Yan Ling’s trust in that boy.
Yan Ling just begins to think about it seriously, but she sees the expression on Liang He’s face, then she understands that he just feel wronged and acts rashly.
Although Yan Ling doesn’t understand what it is for, she suddenly feel funny.
No one will believe that the Crown Prince feels angry because of a boy only 14 years old.
“Why are you laughing? I just want to remind you.” Liang He is suddenly dissatisfied.
“There are many people in your yard, and you may not know the personnel changes. Maybe it’s likely for a bad person to stay.” Liang He says seriously without mentioning Nan Yan again.
Hearing this, Yan Ling thinks carefully, and then frowns. It’s true that she leaves everything in her yard to Liyi for her convenience.
Today, when she inquired the servants, it was Liyi whot asked them to get together. Yan Ling was really not clear then if all the servants were there.
“Qingyu!” Yan Ling raises her voice towards the door.
“My Lady, Your Royal Highness.” Qingyu steps in after hearing Yan Ling.
“When I inquired the servants today, you were also there. Weree all the servants there?” Yan Ling asks, staring at the Qingyu.
Qingyu nods gently and says, “They were all there, but…”
“But what?” Yan Ling asks in a hurry.
“You don’t know that, My Lady. Qing’er went back to the yard yesterday, but it seemed that Liyi didn’t know that. Today, when we were inquired, Qing’er was not there, either.” Qingyu says softly with her head low and her voice is as calm as usual.
However, the explanation of Qingyu lets Yan Ling fall into meditation. Qing’er, a person that Yan Ling almost forgets. She didn’t expect that she will remember her under such a circumstance.
If it were Qing’er who did this, then the mastermind behind her would be…a trace of coldness flashes in Yan Ling’s eyes. That woman didn’t learn a lesson. She didn’t give up even now.
“What’s wrong with Qing’er?” Liang He perceives something unusual and asks strangely.
“Never mind. You may retreat, Qingyu. I’ll call you later.” Yan Ling doesn’t say much, but asks Qingyu to go out first.
After Qingyu leaves the room, Yan Ling’s face is already ugly.
“What on earth is going on?” asks Liang He.
“Qing’er is a spy Yan Shuang sent to me. I found an excuse to send her to the housekeeper to rule, but I didn’t expect that she comes back so soon.” Yan Ling says slowly.
“It’s OK if she just comes back. She didn’t even tell me. Interesting!” At the end, Yan Ling is almost gnashing her teeth.
“Yan Shuang?” Liang He clenches his fists — it was her again. This woman really didn’t learn a lesson.
Liang He suddenly stands up and begins to go out. Yan Ling is shocked by Liang He’s action. Then, she immediately gets up and stops him as if she suddenly understands something.
According to Liang He, now they need to go to the Prime Minister’s House and search Yan Shuang’s yard. It will be the best if they can find the stolen jade and the thief, then they will get deserved punishment. Even if they cannot find the jade, it can also be a warning.
Perhaps Liang’s idea is the fastest and most effective way at the moment. However, Yan Ling does not want to do so now. She has other plans.
“Don’t go now.” Yan Ling stops Liang He.
Looking at Liang He’s puzzled expression, Yan Ling gently strokes her hair and slowly explains.
“If it is Yan Shuang, the purpose of her stealing that jade pendant from me is conceivable. But now, the matter has been a big one. A little carelessness will damage my whole family. I’m afraid she’s more worried than we are.” Yan Ling sneers.
Liang He naturally understands that, but he still doesn’t understand what Yan Ling is going to do with this?
Seeing that Liang He is still puzzled, Yan Ling doesn’t worry at all, but continues: “According to Yan Shuang’s character, she will not give me back the jade pendant to save my trouble even if she knows that it’s already a big matter.”
“Generally speaking, the Prime Minister’s House will definitely have a big search. So, in any case, Yan Shuang will not leave the jade pendant in the House.” Yan Ling narrows her eyes and smiles cunningly.
“Then Ling’er means that it’s better to wait and see the changes than to take the initiative. Wait for Yan Shuang until she gets impatient and sends out the jade pendant out of the mansion. We’ll take the stolen jade and the thief when Yan Shuang sends the jade pendant out of the House.” What else can Liang He not understand at this time?
“That’s my plan. What’s more, it’s not so easy to find the jade pendant from Yan Shuang’s yard. It’s better to stand by a tree stump waiting for a hare.” Yan Ling calmly analyzes.
“I didn’t think thoroughly.” Liang He is surprised at the intelligence Yan Ling shows at and says with a smile.
Liang He’s words make Yan Ling feel a little embarrassed. She lowers her head and doesn’t pay any more attention to him.
At night, the Prime Minister’s House seems to be still normal, but in fact, it’s just normal on surface. Liang He and Yan Ling seemingly have no movement, but in fact, they have arranged carefully outside the Prime Minister’s House, waiting for “the hare” to come to them.
As expected, in the middle of the night, a black figure in disguise slips out of the back door of the Prime Minister’s House and it seems that he holds something in his chest.
The man looks around and doesn’t find anything unusual. It seems that he is relieved and goes on a few steps.
Then, suddenly there is a sound behind him, as if someone falls behind him. The shadow is startled, and turns to look, only to find a man, looking coldly at the bundle in his hand.
Seeing this, the man immediately turns around and runs towards the entrance of the alley. But within two steps, he runs into a man. Taking a closer look, he finds that all the roads out are blocked by people.
All of a sudden, suddenly fire lights up. Liang He, Yan Ling, and the Prime Minister, who are invited to be witnesses, all appear in front of the man.
Although that man covers his face, his face turns pale when he see the scene, and his palms are sweating. He is very clear that he is trapped.
“Who the hell are you? How dare you do such a thing in the Prime Minister’s House!” the Prime Minister is furious. He didn’t expect that the thief who stole the jade pendant is in his own House as the Crown Prince said.
