”How should I know?” Ning Xiaoyao was all innocence despite the fact that she’d taken all of Prince Fu’s land
If you don’t knoould? </eht as they stared at Ning Xiaoyao
A flash of insight flickered in Ning Xiaoyao’s head before she crouched down before Prince Fu and said, ”Hold it What you’re saying is that you don’t want to live on your land anymore?”
Prince Fu couldn’t turn the gears in his head fast enough to keep up with Ning Xiaoyao, so he si up the land, so how is it still mine to live on?”
Ning Xiaoyao replied, ”So in other words, you don’t want your prince’s estate, either?”
Prince Fu was stunned speechless again Everyone else turned to stare at Ning Xiaoyao his land?
Ning Xiaoyao craned her neck to look at Elder Li ”Old gra is Prince Fu’s estate?”
Before Elder Li could answer, Prince Fu lost his temper ”That’s my estate, my home!” he howled ”Even if this prince dies, it’ll be at this prince’s estate!”
Once again, Ning Xiaoyao wiped Prince Fu’s spittle off her face
”Impudence!” Supreme Commander Lou and Elder Li berated him at the same time
”Imperial brother!” Prince Zhi stomped his foot as well, his voice filled with distress ht have lost your land, but you can’t just toss away your life like that! What kind of crime is it toblatantly disrespect to the e yourself to death’s door for Ning Yu?
Slowly, Prince Fu’s body grew li Xiaoyao stood up and turned to speak to Supreme Commander Lou, but she ave a sudden start ?
Grand Preceptor Xie took this chance to speak ”Your Majesty, this subject’s set of 24 brushes with painted scenes fronan…”
Ning Xiaoyao didn’t hear the rest as she recalled that the Grand Preceptor was the original owner of the brushes ”Those brushes belong to Prince Fu now,” Ning Xiaoyao said as she pointed at Prince Fu ”Grand Preceptor, why don’t you talk it over with him?”
Grand Preceptor Xie looked at Prince Fu ”Prince, those brushes belong to this official”
Since the brushes belonged to the Grand Preceptor, as long as Prince Fu returned the Xiaoyao would be null and void Everyone who heard Grand Preceptor Xie’s words understood the e They stared at Prince Fu, with the i especially enthusiastic This is the perfect chance for him to recover his lands!
Prince Fu touched the set of brushes hidden in his sleeve The jade handles had been warmed by close proximity to his body Return these brushes?
Lou Zigui was about to step forward, but Ning Xiaoyao reached out a hand and held hirinned at hiui was a little uncertain If Prince Fu returned the brushes, wouldn’t our hard work all be for nothing?
Prince Fu suddenly spoke up to Grand Preceptor Xie ”These brushes belong to this prince!”
Boom–
Everyone felt like their heads had exploded inside up 10,000 plots of fertile farle set of brushes?!
Ning Xiaoyao could only gloat as she caught sight of Grand Preceptor Xie’s dumbfounded expression Then she stuck up her thuht! You have to protect your own things well! Prince, you’re a real man!”
If Prince Fu hadn’t wanted soet, ould he even bring up the Jiangnan set of 24 brushes? His Majesty Ning was proficient in the art of psychology and reading people’s hearts, so it was easy enough to predict how Prince Fu would think and act
ive htly Who cared about farmland? He’d never planted crops in his life, much less seen those plots with his own eyes All he kneas that having farmland meant he wouldn’t starve to death But these brushes were once treasured items of his Imperial Father His Imperial Father had even promised to bestow them to him They contained memories of a time in the capital city when he was unsurpassed by anyone else and only a step away fro to me
When Ning Xiaoyao sa staunchly Prince Fu claimed ownershi+p of the brushes, she felt she could tear the Grand Preceptor a new one with it as a talking point ”You threay these set of brushes, so I picked the that they’re yours?” Ning Xiaoyao asked Grand Preceptor Xie
These words nearly infuriated Grand Preceptor Xie into swooning again ”When did Your Majesty ever see this official throay these brushes?”
”They were thrown into a trash can,” Ning Xiaoyao said ”The trash can was shaped like a frog, and the brushes were lying right on top of its head”
”……” said everyone else That’s the Grand Preceptor’s </e out the brushes, he had so the brushes on top What do youit a ‘trash can?’ Your Majesty, aren’t you afraid of being struck by lightning after spouting such blatant nonsense?
Ning Xiaoyao was bold and self-assured with her words Even as a person froh to know such things She’d seen trash cans shaped like frogs with her own eyes! (et it, whatever makes you happy, Your Majesty)
Grand Preceptor Xie tasted soered hi up blood yesterday, but noas close to voain ”That’s not a trash can,” he said
Ning Xiaoyao arched an eyebrow ”Is it not a trash can just because you said so? Why does everything have to go your hen you start talking? Say, Supreme Commander, was that a trash can or not?”
Although Supreme Commander kneasn’t, he still nodded his head
”Old gra Xiaoyao asked Elder Li next ”You were at the Grand Preceptor’s estate yesterday too Would you say that frog’s a trash can?”
Everyone looked at Elder Li, as known for being upright and just to answer? The corner of Elder Li’s eye twitched visibly in the face of all his spectators Then he said, ”This subject didn’t see that particular frog However, this subject believes that if it was so used to hold discarded items, it was probably hidden in a secluded spot”
Ning Xiaoyao asked, ”Would somewhere beneath a ay count as a secluded spot?”
Elder Li cupped his hands before his chest and bowed in front of Ning Xiaoyao, before he said loudly, ”The Xie Estate actually allowed His Majesty to set sights on such a dirty item May Your Majesty pin Xie Wenyuan with the crin!”
Ning Xiaoyao’s aped Can I pin a crime on the Grand Preceptor just for that reason?
