Nagato has such a slim waist

Chapter 554: Invite a Thief

The banquet was as lively as ever with fine wine and delicious food.

A servant came in and walked up to Feng Yun in front of all the guests.

"Madam, there's a thief in the garden."

"A thief broke in?" Feng Yun raised his voice, staring in disbelief for a moment, then suddenly laughed and waved his hand with a hint of drunkenness.

"Today is the King's birthday banquet. The palace is heavily guarded. How can ordinary people get in? Don't talk nonsense and spoil the fun of the distinguished guests."

The attendant bowed his head and said anxiously, "I am telling the truth. It was the patrolling guards who saw him. The man was sneaking around and was chased by the guards. He actually escaped into the garden. However, because there were many guests coming and going in the garden, and there were also female relatives coming and going, we dared not conduct a large-scale search, so we came to ask for instructions..."

When he didn't see Prince Yonghuai, he asked the princess for instructions.

The way everyone looked at Feng Yun had a deeper meaning.

Feng Yun then stood up seriously and said, "Let's go and take a look."

On a day like this, which petty thief would dare to steal into Prince Yonghuai's mansion?

The guests also became interested.

Then someone followed and walked out slowly.
-
Several female guests at the back also followed Tao out.

He said he wanted to take a walk in the garden to get rid of the smell of alcohol.

Tao was supported by a maid. She was plump and smiling. As she walked, she chatted with a few ladies she had just met: "The mansion of Prince Yonghuai looks a bit simple. If it were in our Southern Qi, I wonder what the mansion would look like if he was in a high position."

The ladies looked at each other.

Doesn’t this mean that Qi is richer than Jin?
"Mrs. Feng, you don't know that most of the officials in our Great Jin are pragmatic, and Prince Yonghuai is even more upright and honest. He doesn't care about this..."

Another lady glanced at her and said with a smile:

"So, Minister Feng's house must be magnificent and magnificent? Oh, how much money would it cost to support it?"

Doesn’t this mean that the Feng family got their wealth through corruption and bribery?
Tao's face darkened and didn't look so good.

But as the saying goes, three women make a play, and it is inevitable that some sour words will be said.

Anyway, she didn't come here to make friends with them. She just dragged them here as witnesses. She just had to be patient...

"Hey, isn't that Princess Yonghuai? What are you looking for?"

A lady's words disrupted Tao's thinking.

She glanced sideways.

Feng Yun stood at the end of the garden, looking at her and smiling.

Beside him, there were several servants and maids.

A large group of men and women were searching one by one.

"what happened?"

"Yeah, what happened?"

Hearing the ladies whispering, Feng Yun bowed slightly.

"Dear guests, please be careful. There is a thief in the garden. We are searching."

"Thief?! Where is the thief?"

Several women immediately became nervous.

Feng Yun smiled and said, "Don't be too scared. There are guards everywhere. If a thief comes, don't even think about escaping. Right now, everyone is safe..."

The ladies breathed a sigh of relief when they heard her say it was safe.

"Princess." Zuo Zhong came over with two guards.

"Have you found it?" Feng Yun asked.

Zuo Zhong's eyes darkened and he suddenly looked towards the current room.

"I've looked everywhere, and this is the only one left."

As he spoke, he glanced at Mrs. Tao again and said, "A maid said that she saw the fifteenth lady of the Feng Mansion enter the house. We dare not rush in to search it."

Feng Yun also looked at Tao, "Fifteenth Lady is in there? That's terrible. She's with the thieves, I hope nothing bad happens..."

Tao laughed when he heard this.

She was worried that she couldn't find so many people to testify, so Feng Yun brought people.

Well, it would be heartbreaking if she saw with her own eyes her good husband having an affair with her concubine's sister.

Tao was certain that the "little thief" the guards were looking for was Pei Jue, and she also believed that he and Feng Ya were trapped inside. She dared not make a sound. She was very satisfied in her heart, but pretended to be nervous.

"Fifteenth Lady, a pure and innocent young lady, must not allow this misunderstanding to happen... Twelve Lady, could it be that you have seen it wrong? How could there be a thief in broad daylight?"

She said this with an awkward smile and called the maid beside her.

"Go ask why Shiwu Niang hasn't come out yet?"

The maid immediately went forward and knocked on the door of the side room.

The door was closed and bolted from the inside.

But no one answered.

The maid increased her strength.

"Fifteenth Lady, Fifteenth Lady, are you in there?"

She kept tapping for a long time, but still no one responded.

The ladies who were watching the fun around were getting anxious and talking a lot.

Feng Yun glanced at Zuo Zhong and said, "Open the door."

Zuo Zhong responded, "Yes."

Two guards stepped forward and banged on the door.

The door was slammed, but the room was always quiet, without any sound.

More and more people gathered around.

Tao glanced into the crowd and did not see Pei Jue appear, which made her feel more confident.

She pretended to defend Feng Ya and frowned:
"Twelve Lady, there are so many people, Fifteen Lady will be scared."

Feng Yun curled his lips and ignored her, "Break the door!"

The guards all responded.

Tao pursed her lips, and finally managed to suppress the smile that rose subconsciously, and said nervously:

“Don’t knock on the door.”

She rushed forward and blocked the door of the wing room.

"My fifteenth daughter is inside, how can I let a man in?"

Feng Yun curled her lips slightly, "Why is Madam Feng so nervous? Isn't there something shameful in there?"

Tao almost died of laughter.

Isn't it just shameful?
She was also waiting for the guards to break in and catch their master secretly having an affair with his sister-in-law, shocking everyone present...

But right now, not all the people have arrived yet, and it’s not lively enough.

She wanted people to suspect that there was something fishy going on in the house. Then, people would misunderstand that she knew about Feng Ya and Prince Yong Huai's affair in advance. In this way, the two of them were having an affair instead of just accidentally staying in the same room... The two results seemed similar, but were actually completely different.

Prince Yonghuai took the initiative to meet Feng Shiwu Niang in the west wing, and couldn't wait to have sex, which was very different from him running into Feng Shiwu Niang when he was drunk...

Therefore, Tao tried even harder to stop the guards from breaking in, and even disregarded her dignity by crossing her hands and standing in front of the guards.

The guard was reluctant to touch her body and looked at Feng Yun awkwardly.

Feng Yun smiled slowly, "Madam Feng, please don't break the rules of our house. Or... are you so shameless to stop them because Shiwu Niang and that little thief are doing something shameful in the inner room?"

Tao laughed to himself.

When the "little thief" is caught, Twelve Niang will cry.

Her expression didn't show, but her voice became sour.

"Twelve Lady, how can you speak like that? I am your eldest aunt, and that is your fifteenth sister. Even if you disregard her reputation, you should not falsely accuse her of having an affair with a thief."

Feng Yun smiled gently, and her eyes and eyebrows seemed to be blooming flowers.

"I didn't say she had an affair with the thief. That's what you said, Mrs. Feng."

Before she finished her words, she grabbed Tao's arm and pulled it back, signaling the guards.

"Still not breaking the door?"

The guards responded in unison and rushed towards the door.

The door was bolted tightly. Several people used all their strength and pushed it open with a loud bang amid Tao's screams.

"Fifteenth Lady..."

Tao just shouted and then stopped.

The guards rushed into the room and pulled out from behind the screen a man in his forties with a flushed face, bare feet, messy hair, and disheveled clothes.

Tao's face suddenly changed.

"You...why is it you?"

She knew this man.

He is Duan Wu, an official under Feng Jingyao.

I came to Pei Mansion with them for the banquet today, so why am I in the side room?
Where is Fifteenth Lady?

Tao's body swayed and she could hardly stand.

Then Feng Ya was seen being "invited" out from behind the screen by two maids.

She was different from Duan Wu. Her face was extremely pale, and her messy clothes could not cover her fair body. Her hairpin had fallen off, and her hair was loose. Her steps were so slow that it seemed as if she had lost her soul. When she saw Tao, she knelt on the ground, tears streaming down her face.

"Please ask the mother to make the decision for her daughter."

Tao was startled.

I was confused for a long time and didn't understand what was happening.

She looked at Feng Ya, then at Duan Wu, and was furious.

"What's going on? What's going on?"

Her tone was very stern.

From the moment she discovered that the person in the side room was not Pei Jue, Tao's attitude towards Feng Ya changed.

If she hadn't been in front of so many people, she would have had to pretend to be a loving mother, otherwise she would have slapped Feng Ya in the face.

Ruined her business.

Bitch.

"Mother, mother, it's none of my business. He showed up suddenly..."

Feng Ya naturally heard Tao's anger.

She lowered her head, shook it, and cried sadly. She rushed over and grabbed Tao's sleeve, and wanted to complain.

Tao smelled a vulgar scent of powder and looked at her miserable appearance. She subconsciously felt disgusted and pulled her sleeve hard, and Feng Ya fell to the ground.

"Mother……"

She looked up, unable to believe that her stepmother, who had coaxed her with sweet words just two days ago, would be like this. For a moment, she was speechless except for shedding tears.

Instead, it was her maid who knelt on the ground and began to confess in a trembling voice.

"Madam... the maid came out with Shiwu Niang to change clothes. As soon as she entered the room, she was thrown to the ground and almost fainted. Then, she saw Duan Wu, and he dragged Shiwu Niang into the screen..."

Dow is going crazy.

"I called you just now, why didn't you say anything?"

The maid quickly lowered her head. "The maid dared not speak out, fearing that someone would see her and ruin Fifteenth Lady's reputation... Fifteenth Lady could not speak out... That Wu... was so cruel..."

Damn it.

What a ghost.

Tao's mind was completely confused.

She had never expected this to be the result. She didn't even know what to do when she heard the low laughter beside her...

On the contrary, Feng Jingyao, who had just arrived at this time, was calm enough.

With his hands behind his back and a sullen face, he looked angrily at Duan Wu who was being stepped on by the guards, and then glanced at Feng Ya who was crying.

"You bastard, you have no sense of shame."

I don't know who he was scolding, but before he finished speaking, he let out another long sigh.

"I am so ashamed to have made a fool of myself today. I am extremely ashamed."

He said his name was Tao.

"Why don't you take Shiwu Niang away? It's embarrassing."

Tao's eyelids fluttered and she responded.

Feng Jingyao then approached Duan Wu, looked down at him, and snorted coldly, "You are really courting death by offending Prince Yonghuai's mansion. Come, drag Duan Wu away and beat him to death with sticks."

The guard beside him rushed forward and was about to pull Duan Wu away.

Duan Wu looked a little confused and drunk, and just smiled foolishly at Feng Jingyao.

"My lord, I'm Duan Wu... My lord, I'm Duan Wu, uh... I'm your confidant, have you... forgotten? I know a lot about you... hiccup... If you hit me... I won't be able to keep my mouth shut..."

Feng Jingyao's brows were furrowed so tightly that they could kill a fly.

"Drag it!"

"Slow down!" A cold voice came from behind the crowd.

The atmosphere suddenly became heavy, and Tao turned around abruptly.

King Yonghuai?
He is not in the house...

There is a traitor!
Tao felt a chill all over her body and subconsciously looked at the kneeling maid beside Feng Ya, her eyes seemed to be spitting fire.

The crowd separated automatically.

Pei Jue walked over slowly and said calmly, "Mr. Feng, the thief caught in Pei's residence has not yet been interrogated. How can you take him away and beat him to death?" (End of this chapter)
