Peerless Thief: Miss Arrogant Fourth

Chapter 277
After the fifth lady left, Jing Yi and Beitang Lanyou were busy for a while before going back to sleep
Just when the two said goodbye to each other and were about to go back to their room to sleep, Mu Qiu suddenly walked in with a hurried expression.

Jing Yi frowned slightly, and looked at Mu Qiu: "Mu Qiu, what happened to make you so flustered?"

Mu Qiu heard the words and said: "Young master, news came from the city lord's mansion just now that the fifth lady was immediately arrested by the city lord's order as soon as she returned to the mansion!"

When Beitang Lanyou heard the words, her eyes widened in shock.

"Do you know what's going on?" Beitang Lanyou asked, frowning, looking at Mu Qiu, with a lot of thoughts in her heart.

Mu Qiu shook his head when he heard the words, and said, "I don't know! I only know that the fifth lady was arrested by the city lord himself as soon as she returned to her small courtyard."

Mu Qiu didn't know the relationship between the Fifth Madam and Beitang Lanyou, so she was slightly puzzled by Beitang Lanyou's obviously nervous expression.

"Where is Fifth Madam locked up now?" Beitang Lanyou asked again.

In any case, the fifth lady is also the mother of her body. Although she didn't have much contact with the fifth lady before, she couldn't be indifferent to her life and death.Besides, the Fifth Madam's feelings for her are not fake.

"Now, the fifth lady is locked in a pig cage by the city lord. I heard that the city lord will sink the fifth lady into the pond!" Mu Qiu said with a puzzled expression.

In ancient times, confining pig cages and sinking ponds were punishments for women who did not abide by women's morals. Mu Qiu could never imagine why the city lord would treat the fifth lady like this.

Over the years, the Fifth Madam stayed in the City Lord's Mansion and kept a low profile. She never competed with others, and never had a deep relationship with others, let alone having any intimate behavior with other men. How could she not What about guarding women?

However, when Beitang Lanyou heard the words, his expression changed.He looked at Jing Yi.

Mu Qiu didn't know why the fifth lady was sentenced to death in Shentang by the city lord, but Beitang Lanyou knew it in her heart!Thinking about it, it must be that the old stories that Mrs. Wu told them in the hall this afternoon have already been revealed!Jingcheng couldn't tolerate a woman wearing a big green hat on him before he was married, so he wanted to throw the fifth lady into the pond in a fit of anger.

However, besides her and Jing Yi, there were only Fifth Madam and Bai Lianqiu in the hall at that time, so how could the news leak out?
It is impossible for Jing Yi to go to inform, Bai Lianqiu has been staying in the young master's mansion, and has no chance to contact outsiders at all, and it is even more impossible for her to betray her mother.How did this leak out?

Jing Yi also looked at Beitang Lanyou at this time.

"Jing Yi, I'm going to the City Lord's Mansion now!" Beitang Lanyou said firmly.

No matter how you say it, the fifth lady is the mother of her body, she can't just watch her die without being indifferent!
"I'll go with you!" Jing Yi took a step forward, put his arms around Beitang Lanyou's shoulders, and said.

When Beitang Lanyou heard the words, she shook her head at Jing Yi and said, "Jing Yi, it's enough for me to go alone, you just stay in the Young Master's Mansion and wait for my news!"

Both she and Jing Yi knew in their hearts that Jing Cheng didn't directly and secretly execute the Fifth Madam, perhaps they just set up a trap and waited for them to jump into it.However, even though she knew it was a trap, Beitang Lanyou still had to jump!

However, how could she get Jing Yi involved?
