Xia Hourong looked stunned:
"What?"
He glanced hastily at the black air wooden box, frowned, and categorically denied:
"This is absolutely impossible! I have been keeping this thing carefully and no one has ever touched it!"
Jiang Yucheng's expression was cold, and the aura around his body was cold:
"The seal on this has obviously been tampered with. I personally gave this thing to you. Don't I know what it looked like at the time?"
Xia Hourong choked.
"What about the key?"
Jiang Yucheng stretched out his hand.
Xia Hourong was also very dissatisfied, so he threw the key away.
His face didn't look very good either.
"Young Master, since I promised to return this thing to you, I will never break my promise. If you want to see it, just go ahead and see it!"
At the beginning, Jiang Yucheng personally promised to give him the Jiuxiao Huiyuan Pill as a reward.
But now he was taken back again before he could use it.
Xia Hourong criticized this and was already extremely dissatisfied with Jiang Yucheng.
So it was very rude to speak at this time.
Jiang Yucheng took the key and opened the black lacquered wooden box without paying attention to him.
Click.
The wooden box opened in response!
—Empty!
Jiang Yucheng's face instantly darkened, he sneered and looked at Xia Hourong.
"Lord Xiahou, what do you say?"
Xia Hourong opened his eyes wide in shock and stared at the empty wooden box.
"How is it possible? How is this possible!? I have always taken good care of it! How could it be gone!"
Jiang Yucheng threw the black lacquered wooden box in front of Xia Hourong, and it hit the ground with a muffled sound.
"Whether it's true or not, you can see for yourself!"
Xia Hourong didn't care about the many things and directly picked up the black lacquered wooden box on the ground and looked at it carefully.
When he turned around and looked around to make sure that there was indeed nothing inside, his face turned pale, beads of sweat quickly oozed from his forehead, and his lips trembled slightly.
The black lacquered wooden box in my hand instantly became a hot potato!
Xia Hou Rong can neither hold it nor throw it away. The expressions on his face change. It’s so exciting!
Jiang Yucheng just stared at him coldly, his eyes cold.
After a moment, Xia Hourong seemed to finally react and raised his head hurriedly:
"I don't know! I really don't know!"
Ever since he got this thing, he has been keeping it carefully, but how could it suddenly disappear?
Jiang Yucheng twitched his lips without a smile.
"Then you mean that the things inside escaped on their own?"
Xia Hourong began to recall quickly, and countless pictures flashed through his mind.
"no no"
He went to the study to take out this thing in person today. The whole process was not unusual at all, and there was no trace of it being touched at all!
In other words, the other party must have taken this thing away quietly!
Can do this
etc!
Xia Hourong's expression suddenly changed!
There are only a handful of people who know all this clearly!
Especially one who knows how to find this thing and take it away.
"Seeing that Mr. Xiahou already knows who did it?"
Jiang Yucheng spoke calmly, his eyes sarcastic.
Xia Hourong's lips moved and he murmured in disbelief:
"It's impossible, it's impossible"
"I have always trusted Mr. Xiahou. This time, I will treat it as your guarding is not good. As long as you can find the person within one day and bring back the Jiuxiao Huiyuan Pill intact, this matter will That's it. How about I just pretend it never happened?"
Jiang Yucheng lowered his eyes, turned the finger in his hand, and said slowly:
"As for the person who did this, please let Mr. Xiahou handle it together. After all, the fewer people who know about this kind of thing, the better. I am doing this for the sake of your reputation, don't you think?"
He thought that he was very merciful by handling it this way.
But to Xia Hourong's ears, it was undoubtedly an extremely difficult matter.
Because the person who did it was most likely his second son Xiahou Ting'an!
Xia Hourong was silent for a while, then swallowed hard and said:
"Then, if that person is found, can the eldest master spare his life?"
Jiang Yucheng raised his eyes slightly and glanced at him lightly.
Seeing Xia Hourong's nervous look, he suddenly laughed.
"It seems that I guessed it right. It was indeed Xiahou Ting'an who did it. Unexpectedly, he became more and more courageous, and he was even able to do such a thing."
Xia Hourong's hands were shaking:
"This matter has not yet been decided. It may be someone else, but not necessarily. As you know, I just kicked him out of the house some time ago. I am afraid that his injuries have not fully recovered yet. How could it be?"
His voice grew quieter.
To be honest, he didn't even believe it himself.
Able to sneak into the Xiahou Mansion smoothly, and quietly pass through the barrier outside the study, enter it, successfully find the key to open the wooden box, and finally take away the things
Apart from Xia Hou Rong himself, the only one who can break through these layers of defense is Xia Hou Ting'an!
Jiang Yucheng looked at Xia Hourong as if he were watching a joke.
"It's really pitiful for the parents in the world. Mr. Xiahou is here to plead for him and wants to keep him no matter what. Unfortunately, he may not take you as a father seriously. As long as he has concerns about you and the entire Xiahou Mansion , and absolutely cannot do such a thing.”
Jiang Yucheng's words were like knives, piercing into Xia Hourong's heart.
He closed his eyes, suppressed the emotions in his heart, and said:
"Don't worry, Eldest Young Master, I will definitely send the things back intact! If it's really that traitor who did it, I hope Eldest Young Master, for my sake, let him go this time!"
Xia Hourong had almost never begged someone in such a humble tone.
Even in order to obtain the Jiuxiao Huiyuan Pill, there were back and forth discussions with Jiang Yucheng.
This is the first time for me to beg like this.
Jiang Yucheng paused for a long time and finally nodded.
"good."
After Xia Hourong went out, he quickly left with Xia Hou Yushu and others.
Except for him and Jiang Yucheng, no one knew what the two of them said in the study.
Almost everyone thought that all matters related to the wedding were proceeding smoothly, and they were just waiting for the wedding to be completed so that the two aristocratic families could join forces!
After returning to the mansion, Xia Hou Rong immediately ordered people to go out to find Xia Hou Ting'an.
The entire Xiahou Mansion was very surprised.
It had just been a short while since the fight, so why were you looking for someone to come back again
But after all, he is his biological son and the one he has loved most for so many years. It is normal not to let him go.
News soon came back that Xiahou Ting'an had been living with the girl from Chunfeng Tower.
When Xia Hourong heard this, he was furious again and went there in person immediately!
