Ruan Zhen did not leave the courtyard. After lunch, she went to Gu Huaizhi's study.

The study is where Gu Huaizhi works. Tan Yun and An Qi behind her naturally dare not enter without permission and can only wait outside the room.

After Ruan Zhen entered the house, she carefully looked through it, looking for her bellyband.

But the whole house was searched, but there was no trace of it.

She was a little discouraged.

Her eyes finally fell on the couch used for resting in the back room. Ruan Zhen stepped forward, bent down, and looked at the bottom of the couch.

The woman's body was delicate and soft, with her upper body bent low and her buttocks slightly raised. Her well-fitting skirt was twisted into a seductive arc. It was so tight that she didn't realize it.

Although Ruan Zhen is thin, she has everything she should have. In this way, her beautiful figure is fully displayed.

When Gu Huaizhi entered, he saw such a scene, and his throat tightened slightly.

But there was nothing nice to say: "Are you a thief?"

The unexpected voice behind her made Ruan Zhen, who was unprepared, frightened and her heart skipped a beat. She stiffened, slowly straightened up and turned to look at Gu Huaizhi, who was dressed in official uniform.

She frowned, lacking confidence: "I just took a look."

"Really?" He narrowed his eyes, obviously not believing it.

Then, he smiled inexplicably and took out something from his sleeve unhurriedly.

He hooked the lace with his fingertips: "I thought you were looking for this."

Ruan Zhen's apricot eyes were as wide as a cat's, and her whole body felt bad.

Gu Huaizhi actually wore this kind of small coat close to his body, and even went to court in the morning.

If it falls off in the middle...

Ruan Zhen didn't dare to think about it, that hibiscus face was as bright as the morning glow, so red it could drip blood. The heat burned to the roots of her ears.

She didn't have a chance yesterday, so she originally thought that she would take advantage of Gu Huaizhi's absence to find her bellyband, and the matter would be over.

But the person in front of me is really bad.

"Why are you like this!" She raised her voice, but her tone was soft and sweet.

"Beware of thieves."

Ruan Zhen choked, feeling ashamed. She lowered her eyes and no longer looked at Huaizhi, nor spoke. She just stretched out her slender hand, and the sleeves fell down, revealing a woman's pale white wrist.

Send it to Gu Huai's eyes.

"I'm going to take it back and wash it."

Gu Huaizhi was indifferent.

Ruan Zhen tried her best to calm down: "I wore it once yesterday."

This was something she wore before she got married. Yesterday she woke up and put it on for a quarter of an hour, but she finally changed it out. She felt panicked. After she changed it out, she forgot to put it away in time, and that's what happened to Xiao Hui later.

The man glanced sideways at Ruan Zhen, looking at her embarrassment patiently, and then his eyes followed the woman's beautiful face to the bulge. A hint of smile came out of his throat.

"It's too small."

Her little dress is too small.

If you know it, you know it! Why point it out?

Ruan Zhen saw his fingertips caressing the word 'Zhen' on her shirt carelessly, as if she was touching...

"What are you doing! What are you doing with your daughter's belongings?"

The prince withdrew his gaze, took a breath, and said quietly: "Just taking a look."

What’s there to see!

Gu Huaizhi pondered for a moment: "I don't have this thing."

You can’t use this kind of thing even if you have it!

Ruan Zhen choked and changed her usual dignified attitude. She kneaded the veil, feeling ashamed and annoyed: "Then I will give it to you?"

Gu Huaizhi frowned, folded the things in his hands in front of Ruan Zhen, put them back into his sleeves, and said lightly: "That's fine."

Ruan Zhen looked at Gu Huaizhi, pursed her lips, and her eye circles became red inexplicably.

When Gu Huai saw it, his fingertips felt hot.

"I am angry."

The little lady stared at his sleeves stubbornly: "I'm really angry."

If it were anyone else, Gu Huaizhi would have sneered and told people to get out, but this was Ruan Zhen, and he was still Ruan Zhen who was used to following the rules.

Gu Huaizhi didn't show it on his face, but he was a little at a loss. His eyes flashed. Then Ruan Zhen stepped forward and fiddled with his bellyband from his sleeves.

He didn't stop her. He just looked down at the woman's trembling eyelashes, straight nose, and bright red lips.

After getting the item, Ruan Zhen felt calm and relaxed. She was even surprised by Gu Huaizhi's compliance at this moment.

Before she could think deeply, she heard the somewhat unnatural voice of the man above her: "I will send those treasures I just acquired into your private treasury."

Ruan Zhen’s meal, is there such a good thing?

Her watery eyes blinked, as if to test, she cautiously took a peek at him.

"My anger hasn't gone away yet."

Gu Huaizhi touched her face, which was as white as porcelain. He then touched her forehead and forced her to look at him.

"I found a fine piece of blood jade over at Teng Pavilion, and I'll make it into a set of jewelry for you."

When Ruan Zhen heard this, her first reaction was to frown: "No, it's too expensive."

“Not expensive.”

The most precious jewel in the world is in his arms.

Gu Huaizhi looked at her intently: "Is it gone?"

Ruan Zhen couldn't stand this temptation.

She nodded heavily.

Gu Huaizhi's eyebrows relaxed, and he thought of Sheng Wan. In comparison, Ruan Zhen was still easy to coax.

Two more days passed

General's Mansion

There were various things worn by girls on the desk. Mu Youde stretched out his hand to touch it, but when he reached halfway, he retracted it.

In the house, a man knelt on the ground and reported respectfully: "Back to the general, there were many officials who left Lin'an City during their lifetimes, but no trace of where they went or what they did could be traced. Logically speaking, people who pawn pawns, buy or sell, There are all receipts and receipts, but my subordinates have been searching for it and visited many pawn shops, but there is no information at all."

Either the traveler deliberately concealed it, or the place where the jewelry was pawned was far away from the surrounding areas of Lin'an, or even far away from the city of Liuzhou.

Mu Youde stood up and stood with his hands behind his hands. At this moment, someone walked in and said, "General! The young general is back."

Mu Hansheng's temperament means that even ten cows can't pull him away from one thing. Now that he's back, could he have some clues?

"Where are the others?"

"I went to the Duke's Mansion. I think I wanted the chief assistant to help me investigate."

No, never.

Mu Youde paused. The details that he had ignored for a long time came to his mind at this moment.

His people couldn't find any information. Another thing is that someone did it deliberately.

There are very few people who have this kind of ability. Even very few.

Ruan...

Ruan Zhen.

He recited the name silently. The woman's charming face seemed to appear before his eyes.

He stood up suddenly and strode out, but as soon as he crossed the threshold, he turned back.

The hands under his sleeves clenched tighter and tighter, and he commanded in a deep voice: "Go and investigate the life of the princess of the Duke's palace."

Before his subordinates could agree, he changed his tone again: "No, I will go and check it myself.

Mu Hansheng came to the Duke's Mansion alone.

He went straight to Gu Huaizhi's study.

"Gu Huaizhi!"

But no one was seen.

He had nowhere to vent his emotions, and he was eager but also faintly timid. It was as if there were thousands of insects biting him deep in his heart.

Just at this moment, a soft female voice came from behind.
