The hole dug for An Yueli just now has now become a trap for herself to jump into.

The corners of Yue's mouth twitched, looking ferocious.

"Family scandals should not be made public. You can involve outsiders at any time and you are not afraid of damaging the face of the Duke's palace."

Duke An Guo agreed, "Even if we want to catch a thief, it's something we do behind closed doors. If you dare to tell me, I'll make you look good!"

As soon as he said the harsh words, An Yueli looked over faintly.

"How does father want to punish me? Do you want to beat me again and send me back to Prince Xiao's Mansion?"

"you!"

"Yueli, don't be angry with me." Yue stepped forward in time to grab An Guogong, "If Mrs. Jiang is still awake, she definitely doesn't want to see you contradicting your elders like this."

When Jiang Qinglan was mentioned, An Guogong suddenly had an idea.

"That's right! When your mother was still healthy, she had always been strict with you. Since she became ill, you have become more willful and mischievous, and now you have reached the level of disobedience to your elders.

Since you are now a princess and I cannot discipline you, let your mother be punished on your behalf!"

An Yueli was touched and instantly became furious.

"How dare you! Even if my mother is suffering from hysteria, she is still a decent wife of the Duke of the Kingdom. If anyone disrespects and bullies her, as my daughter, I will risk my life to send him to hell."

An Guogong was forced by her momentum and felt that his knees were weak. At the same time, his heart was filled with anger, which made his heart, lungs, spleen and kidneys hurt.

"Unfilial daughter, unfilial daughter!"

"Sister, being so majestic is just relying on your identity as Prince Xiao to pretend to be powerful. But no matter how powerful you are, you are already a member of Prince Xiao's Palace and have no control over the affairs of our Anguo Palace.

The father is the head of the family, and whoever he thinks is at fault is at fault. Whoever he wants to punish must suffer!"

An Yurou calmed down from the panic just now, and her attitude gradually became more aggressive.

"If sister is really capable, she will find the stolen ambergris. Otherwise, don't interfere with my father and teach Mrs. Jiang a lesson."

The two sisters stood face to face, with fire in their eyes and their swords at war.

"Then what will you do if I find out?"

"Only you?" An Yurou sneered, "If you can find the lost ambergris, I will apologize."

"Not only do you have to apologize, you also have to go to Beiyuan and kneel for a day and a night to beg my mother for forgiveness."

An Yurou was aroused, and she agreed immediately.

"Okay! But if you can't find the ambergris, come and kneel at the gate of the Duke's Mansion for a day and a night, and then get out of my house!"

"It's a deal."

Seeing the two of them signing an alliance in such a hurry, Yue Shi wanted to stop it but it was too late, so she could only quickly find a way to smooth things over for her daughter.

"An Yueli, you can investigate the case, but you can't use torture on the servants of the mansion. Even if you find the thief, you must have conclusive evidence."

"Don't worry about this. I will let the thief bring the ambergris back within five days at most. But before that, I have to search all the courtyards."

Just as Yue was about to object, An Yueli added.

"Since it's an investigation, of course you have to give me enough time to look for evidence. As long as everyone is clear, you don't have to worry about being questioned. You can also watch while I search the room."

Her sharp gaze swept over everyone present. Everyone she saw lowered their eyes respectfully, and no one dared to object.

"Huan Sha."

"Princess, please give me your instructions!"

"We don't have many manpower, so let's start from here."

"yes."

Seeing that their master was so tough, Huan Sha, Fu Yan and other maids were not afraid of the Yue clan and An Guogong.

The four people quickly divided their tasks and went straight into the main house.

Yue Shi felt a panic in her heart, but she couldn't object to An Yurou's bet. She could only glare at her silently and asked Grandma Wang to follow her and keep an eye on her.

An Yurou walked to the other party's side with a guilty conscience and lowered her voice as she promised.

"Don't worry, mother. I asked Pei'er to hide that thing a long time ago. Even if An Yueli is a god, there is no way he can find it."

"Your bet is for five days. During this period, things cannot be left in the house and must be shipped out immediately."

"yes."

Just as mother and daughter were whispering, An Yueli had quietly left.

While everyone's attention was focused on Huan Sha and others, she went around the Ziguang Garden behind the main courtyard through the corner door.

This place was originally her residence, but it was occupied by An Yurou after she moved to Beiyuan to take care of Mrs. Jiang.

The house is still the same as it was three years ago, but the magnolia tree in the yard has been uprooted and the other party's beloved rose has been planted.

An Yueli opened the door of the main room, and the jeweled furnishings immediately came into view.

The jade vases and gold lamps on the Duobao grid are piled high, the screen is embroidered with gold and silver threads, and even the tablecloth is decorated with round pearl anchors.

"..."

The corners of An Yueli's mouth twitched, this was really making up for whatever was lacking.

The other party used to be a concubine. Although Mrs. Jiang never deducted from the people in the back house, the food and clothing expenses had to be strictly distributed according to the requirements of the government.

She can still recall that one summer, Mrs. Jiang cut a cyan butterfly-playing narcissus dress for her. She looked particularly beautiful and dignified when she wore it, which attracted unanimous praise from the maids and mothers-in-law.

But the clothes were not worn twice before An Yurou "accidentally" poured a cup of mulberry herbal tea on them, completely ruining them.

At that time, An Yurou knelt down and apologized, insisting that she didn't mean to do it. She actually believed it and even hid her clothes quietly, not daring to tell Mrs. Jiang.

Now that I think about it, An Yurou's jealousy has already penetrated deep into her bones. Once she takes her place, she would like to enjoy all the glory and wealth overnight and make up for all the good things that she had not used before.

An Yueli shook her head, opened the incense burner placed on the table and took a look inside.

"What are you doing!?"

A sharp and angry voice came from behind, and you didn't have to look back to know who was coming.

An Yueli closed the lid of the incense burner and replied unhurriedly.

"Didn't I make it clear enough? Search the mansion for ambergris."

An Yurou rushed over with Pei'er, like a wild beast whose territory had been violated.

"This is my yard now. Even if you want to search, you have to get my consent!"

"Oh, do you agree now? Or I can go out first and come in after you have moved the stolen goods."

"you!"

The more calm An Yueli is, the more furious the other party becomes.

"Okay, you search, I want to see what you can find!"

"Then I'm not welcome."

An Yueli was not in a hurry to rummage around the house, but sat down and poured herself a cup of tea. While sipping the tea, she looked at the furnishings in the house.

"It's really a little different from what I was back then."

An Yurou felt panicked when she saw her looking so contented and content, more like a master than herself.

"Aren't you looking for ambergris? Why are you sitting here drinking tea? Is it because your tea in Beiyuan is so poor that you can only drink it with me?"

"yes."

An Yueli accepted her sarcasm without any psychological burden.
