Chapter 53 Little Uncle

Chapter 53 Little Uncle

Ning Yunxi said calmly, took two steps forward and bowed.

"My uncle is fine."

"I wonder what the little uncle is here for?"

Qiu Bi and Feng Yan and his wife followed suit and bowed.

Mur Chen took a quick glance and saw the messy luggage on the ground, then smiled disdainfully.

"It seems that you have found it?"

"Yes, he is smarter than when I saw him two years ago."

"Luckily I arrived in time. If I had been a step later, wouldn't you have succeeded?"

Ning Yunxi stood tall and smiled faintly.

"What is my uncle saying? I don't understand a word of it."

When their eyes met, Mur Chen was suddenly startled.

"Could it be... that you have already transferred the token?!"

In an instant, his back felt cold and he broke out in a sweat.

Ning Yunxi continued to pretend to be ignorant.

"What token?"

"What does my uncle mean?"

Mur Chen was extremely panicked. He could not wait to show the search order and then gave an order.

"Search for me!"

"Don't miss any corner!"

All his men went out at once.

Ning Yunxi remained calm and gestured respectfully.

"Uncle, please take a seat."

After they both took their seats, she began to ask questions calmly.

"The emperor's edict is not a trivial matter."

"I wonder what token my uncle lost?"

"Is it the token of the Mu Mansion?"

"My eldest uncle has just inherited the title of Marquis. If the Marquis token is lost, he should be responsible for searching. Why bother my youngest uncle?"

"Otherwise, why does my uncle suspect me?"

"I haven't been to the Mu Mansion for a long time. The token was not taken by me."

Mur Chen's lips curled up in pride and he sneered.

"Why bother pretending?"

"The Tinghetai token was lost. Didn't Lord Qin send someone to inform you?"

"Which courtier did he send?"

"If you are willing to confess and hand the person over to me, I can consider revising the memorial to the emperor."

"Family members always take care of each other."

"Xi'er has grown up and become sensible, right?"

Ning Yunxi poured a cup of tea and served it with both hands.

"My uncle is too greedy."

"On the one hand, you are thinking about dealing with me, and on the other hand, you are thinking about dealing with Lord Qin."

"To desire more after having obtained Long is to neglect the essentials and pursue the trivial. Be careful not to end up with nothing."

"My uncle still has misunderstandings about me about my aunt being questioned."

"If I hand the person over, will you really let me go? I'm afraid that's just a fantasy."

"I naturally don't want to do something that will kill two birds with one stone."

"Besides, I don't have any court attendants here, so please don't make random guesses and wrong me."

Mur Chen stared tentatively.

"It doesn't matter if you don't hand him over voluntarily. I can find him out anytime I want."

Ning Yunxi raised her eyebrows and smiled.

"In what name?"

"The Emperor ordered that only the Tinghetai token be searched, right?"

"Then, after my uncle found the Tinghetai token, he can no longer touch a single cent of Xiangzhuyuan."

Murchen looked gloomy.

"What if I'm not in a hurry to find him, but take my time and insist on catching him?"

"I am the new Tinghe Cheng, and I urgently need to clear the obstacles and gain a firm foothold in Tinghetai."

"It's a good opportunity to use this person to make a big fuss and exclude dissidents."

Ning Yunxi nodded in agreement.

"Great idea, uncle."

"I just wonder if the Imperial Concubine and His Royal Highness Prince Chen want to use this as an opportunity to deal with Lord Qin, just like my uncle?"

"Also, if my uncle searches for a long time and only finds a cold body with no evidence, how can we make a big fuss about it?"

"If you have the time, you might as well focus on dealing with me."

"Otherwise, if the imperial concubine asks for punishment, how will my uncle explain to her?"

Mur Chen felt unsure for a moment.

"Eldest sister...will probably support me."

Ning Yunxi lowered her eyes, hiding a hint of contempt.

"Then why don't you send someone to the palace to ask?"

"I heard that she spent a lot of effort to win over His Royal Highness Prince Chen. My uncle is so selfish that His Royal Highness Prince Chen suspects that she has other plans. I wonder if their cooperation can continue?"

"In this case, I should thank my uncle for his help, right?"

Mur Chen thought about it and his pupils suddenly shook.

"Someone, search her body!"

As soon as she finished speaking, a female official came forward and carefully searched Ning Yunxi's body.

Tinghetai's token was soon found.

Mur Chen asked according to the plan.

"Ning Yunxi, did you steal this, or did they steal it?"

Ning Yunxi responded calmly.

"It's none of their business."

"I don't know why the token is on me."

"Perhaps one of Tinghetai's servants accidentally put it in my purse while serving me."

Mur Chen spoke sternly.

"Are you the one who took this token and demanded silver from the people?"

Ning Yunxi shook her head to deny it.

"No."

"Perhaps someone forged the token."

"It is understandable that the common people have never seen the real Tinghetai token, so it is difficult to distinguish the real from the fake."

"Anyway, I've never used this token privately."

"Whoever steals the Tinghetai token will be punished severely no matter who it is. But in my case, it was an unintentional mistake, so I can let it go."

Mur Chen stared at her in disbelief.

"It's all solid evidence. How dare you argue?"

"In this case, I have no choice but to ask you to go to Tinghetai again!"

Ning Yunxi smiled deeply.

"Did my uncle forget? I am the legitimate daughter of the Duke's Mansion. Even if I made a mistake, it should be handled by Yin Sitai."

"Tinghetai should not overstep his authority. Lord Mu, please go back and rest."

Mur Chen frowned solemnly.

"Master Xie is involved in this, and Yin Sitai should avoid suspicion."

"There is already a precedent for this matter. I don't need to explain it further, right?"

Ning Yunxi asked leisurely.

"There is only one Tinghetai token, and I have found it here. It has nothing to do with Lord Xie, so why should Yin Sitai avoid suspicion?"

Mur Chen almost couldn't suppress his anger.

"you!"

"Then I will find the court attendant!"

"There are so many maids in Tinghetai. I want to see who dares to have a private relationship with the daughter of the Duke's Mansion?"

Ning Yunxi's almond-shaped eyes were relaxed and she took a sip of tea slowly and unhurriedly.

"Okay, but Lord Mu did not search for the imperial edict."

"It's not a problem. Just go to the palace and ask for His Majesty's will."

"I just don't know if the emperor will agree to this groundless accusation."

"I don't even know if he hopes that Tinghetai will be dominated by the Mu people for a while?"

"I have nothing to do and can afford to waste time. Does my uncle also have so much free time?"

Mur Chen was at a loss as to what to do. He just stood there without saying a word.

Ning Yunxi stood up after seeing this.

"My uncle, do you have any objections? Then I will go to Yinsitai and explain the situation to Lord Xie and the others."

Mur Chen was extremely anxious.

"You...I...oh..."

Before he finished speaking, a voice was heard outside the door: "The Imperial Concubine Yi summoned Miss Ning San to the palace for questioning!"

Qiu Bi couldn't help but worry, she took a step forward, grabbed Ning Yunxi's sleeve tightly, and reminded her softly.

"Girl, you can't go..."

Mur Chen already had a smug look on his face.

"How can I not go when the Imperial Concubine summons me?"

"How dare you, a lowly maidservant, commit treason in front of me? Come on, follow me to Tinghetai."

Ning Yunxi responded coldly.

"Lord Mu heard it wrong. Qiu Bi is right. We have to go."

Having said that, he turned and looked at Qiu Bi.

"Don't worry, it's okay, I'll be back soon."
