Yun Ruoleng was amused by Cui Ying's actions. He extended his hand and patted her shoulder, signalling her not to worry.

Yun Ruoleng nodded resolutely to her, then retracted his arm, then respectfully retreated to the side. However, she was still on guard as she looked at the trembling servant girl on the ground.

Yun Ruoleng half squatted, his gaze landed on the pearl hairpin above the servant's head, and then nodded.

Seeing her confused reaction, Uncle Po followed Yun Ruoleng and sat on the seat of honor with an inquiring look. Yun Ruoleng saw his curiosity and opened his mouth: ”I only saw that pearl hairpin was a new style from this year's Capital City and it was even very expensive. It seems that this girl needs to spend two to three years' worth of wages to be able to afford it, so I was a little curious. Don't laugh at me, Uncle. ”

”Hur hur.” Uncle Po smiled benevolently and said, ”Royal Concubine's thoughts are meticulous. This subordinate admires her greatly, so how could I laugh?”

”Uncle Pu actually said that. Then I'll have to trouble Uncle Pu to search through this wangfei's room to see if there's any useful evidence. By the way, I've searched every nook and cranny, including the Dark Pavilion.”

”Yes sir!” As a housekeeper in the Regent’s Mansion, finding a few guards to rob the house was naturally not a problem for Uncle Pu, and Yun Ruoleng was also relieved.

When the servant heard that Yun Ruoleng wanted to rob the house, she became even more anxious. She raised her head slightly, her long and narrow willow eyes made Yun Ruoleng feel uncomfortable, and her gaze darkened. Cui Ying curiously looked at Yun Ruoleng, and thought, what's wrong with Miss? Not like her.

Of course Yun Ruoleng would not let others know why she was a little angry, he could not say that it was because of her pair of eyes! The temperature in the hall dropped drastically, the kneeling servant girl on the ground trembled even more. Uncle Pu took a while to carry a tray into the hall and placed it on the small plate beside Yun Ruoleng.

”Princess, these are the jewels and silk found in this girl's room.”

Yun Ruoleng swept a glance, and the corner of his mouth raised a little. If she was not mistaken, all of these things were worth a lot, there were not many servants with such wealth, not to mention she was a third grade maid cleaner?

Yun Ruoleng picked out a hairpin from the plate, and looked at it carefully, then suddenly looked at her with interest: ”This is a Treasure Pavilion, although it's not this year's new, but it was unique last year, it is said that this hairpin was bought by the Wind King, so it's all for you!”

”No, it's not like that …” The young maid raised her head and said in a terrified voice, ”This … This hairpin was given to you by your highness after I led the way for you.”

”Lead the way?” Yun Ruoleng sneered, with the hairpin between his index and middle finger, he threw it towards the servant like a dart, causing the hairpin to pierce into the wood, just right in front of the servant. The servant girl was shocked as she sat down on the ground and stared dumbly at the hairpin on the ground.

Yun Ruoleng suddenly raised his head and looked at Uncle Pu. After looking around him once, he asked, ”How did Uncle Pu manage to catch her?”

”Just now, this subordinate had sent someone to clean up the mess, and I just so happened to see that girl run into the Water Spirit Pavilion's tea room. Uncle Po grew more and more angry as he spoke, his fierce eyes staring at the trembling man on the ground for a long time.
