Chapter 141 She is not that kind of person
Shi Xiaoxiao chuckled and followed Shi Yuan into the mansion.
"Dad, what happened today?"
Shi Yuan glanced at her and knew that she was asking a question even though she knew the answer, but he still answered her question seriously.
"Huo Tingxing is in prison. He is guilty of treason and collaborating with the enemy. The emperor will issue an order soon to execute all members of the Huo family and confiscate their property."
Just thinking of something, Shi Yuan said regretfully: "It's a pity for Huo Tingxing's money. If it hadn't been stolen, it would have belonged to the national treasury now."
Shi Xiaoxiao nodded. "It's a pity indeed. I don't know who Lord Huo offended, to have his entire warehouse emptied out. It's a pity, but I think that person did a great job."
Shi Yuan tilted his head to look at Shi Xiaoxiao, his eyes moving slightly.
"Xiao Xiao went to the Huo Mansion that night, but did she find anything unusual? Didn't she encounter the person who blew up his corner?"
Shi Xiaoxiao blinked and said, "Yes, but I was hiding in the dark and they didn't notice me."
She didn't lie, she really encountered them, she really was hiding in the dark, and they really didn't find her.
Shi Yuan originally suspected that Shi Xiaoxiao had stolen Huo Tingxing's warehouse.
After all, Shi Xiaoxiao also went to Huo Tingxing's house that night.
But think about it, it's impossible. Shi Xiaoxiao can't empty Huo Tingxing's warehouse by herself.
Without more than a dozen people, this task cannot be accomplished.
Looking at Shi Xiaoxiao's clear eyes, Shi Yuan dispelled his suspicions about her.
Shi Yuan stopped and said to Shi Xiaoxiao earnestly, "From now on, if you have any problems, tell Daddy. Don't do anything dangerous on your own. Remember, Daddy is here for you."
Although Shi Xiaoxiao was protected by his secret guards, how could a father not be worried when he knew that his daughter had done something dangerous?
That's why he warned Shi Xiaoxiao in such an earnest manner.
Shi Xiaoxiao nodded repeatedly, "Yeah, Xiaoxiao understands."
It was already afternoon when Shi Xiaoxiao returned to Xixiaoyuan.
The weather was very cold and she didn't really want to go out, so she stayed in the room.
evening.
Shi Xiaoxiao finished washing up and prepared to go to bed.
Xiaoyuan just lit the lamp and went downstairs.
Shi Xiaoxiao didn't even have time to close her eyes.
I saw a figure flash by the window.
Shi Xiaoxiao's eyes suddenly focused, and she stared vigilantly at the figure that suddenly appeared.
A silver needle appeared in his hand, the tip of the needle was black, obviously it had been poisoned.
The silver needle in her hand showed signs of firing.
"it's me!"
A faint voice came.
Shi Xiaoxiao frowned and silently put the silver needle back into the space.
Her tone was a little bad, "Prince, you really like climbing through windows."
Ji Chen chuckled and slowly sat down beside her bed.
His thin lips parted slightly, "Of course not, I just like climbing through your windows."
"Then thank you."
Ji Chen looked at her and stared at her quietly for a moment.
Suddenly he smiled and said, "I've made a fortune recently. Are you happy?"
Shi Xiaoxiao's eyes rolled around, and she blinked and said, "What? When did I become rich? How come I didn't know it myself?"
This guy didn't know that she had stolen from Huo Tingxing's warehouse, did he?
Otherwise, people would say something inexplicably that she made a fortune.
Ji Chen approached her, his eyes full of smiles, "Are you sure?"
Shi Xiaoxiao's eyes were filled with clear light, and she nodded, "Yeah."
"The Emperor has assigned me a mission today. Do you want to know what it is?"
Shi Xiaoxiao shook her head, "I don't want to know!"
Ji Chen glanced at her, as if he didn't hear what she said, and continued talking about his own things.
"The Emperor has handed the case of the theft from the Huo Mansion's treasury to me."
Shi Xiaoxiao nodded, "Oh! Then why did Your Highness come to me if he didn't go to investigate?"
"Isn't this checking?"
Shi Xiaoxiao glared at him, "What do you mean? It seems you just doubt me. You think I'm the one who's been lazy about Master Huo's warehouse. Let me tell you, I'm Xiaoxiao, not that sneaky person."
She stole it blatantly.
Shi Xiaoxiao put her hands on her hips and looked at him dissatisfiedly, "If you don't believe me, come and search!"
I can't find anything anyway.
Ji Chen chuckled, "When did I ever say I doubted you? Why are you so nervous?"
"Then why are you here? Why are you saying these things? You are saying them on purpose for me to hear. Search me, I won't be wronged."
Hearing this, Ji Chen was at a loss whether to laugh or cry. "Okay, okay, I wronged you. I was wrong. I just came to borrow something from you today."
Shi Xiaoxiao looked at him suspiciously, analyzing the truthfulness of his words.
She would not easily believe what Ji Chen said, as he might be waiting to find something to hold against her.
He looked at her with clear and sincere eyes.
Shi Xiaoxiao couldn't figure out what he meant for a moment.
He asked tentatively, "Really? Are you just here to borrow something from me?"
However, Shi Xiaoxiao's brain was working very fast, and she couldn't think of anything she had that Ji Chen needed.
It seems like there is nothing.
But people don't just appear here suddenly; they always have a purpose.
Ji Chen nodded calmly, "Yes, I really need your help. You won't refuse me, right?"
"What do you want to borrow?"
Ji Chen didn't say anything, but considerately pressed Shi Xiaoxiao's quilt tighter to prevent the wind from getting in and chilling her.
After wrapping Shi Xiaoxiao up like a dumpling, Ji Chen nodded in satisfaction.
Then he said, "Could you lend me two of those powerful iron balls you used last time?"
Shi Xiaoxiao looked at him curiously, "What do you want that for?"
Looking at Shi Xiaoxiao's cute appearance, Ji Chen couldn't help but reach out and touch her head.
He said softly, "I have my own uses."
Shi Xiaoxiao shook her head and said, "Hey, hey, hey, stop touching it. It's not something you should touch."
Ji Chen paused when he heard this and silently withdrew his hand.
A trace of loneliness flashed in his eyes.
Shi Xiaoxiao didn't notice his mood change.
He freed his hands from the quilt with great difficulty, and two iron balls appeared in his hands. "Here! Remember to return them."
Ji Chen was stunned and looked at Shi Xiaoxiao with a slightly strange look.
"You still keep these things close to you?"
How could she be so cautious in her life? She even carried a weapon with her.
He lowered his eyes, and a trace of heartache flashed under his long eyelashes.
Shi Xiaoxiao smiled awkwardly, "Safety comes first!"
Ji Chen didn't hesitate and smiled silently.
"Okay, you take a rest, I'm leaving."
After watching Ji Chen leave, Shi Xiaoxiao breathed a sigh of relief.
He stared at the window in a daze.
In fact, Ji Chen already knew that it was she who stole Huo Tingxing's warehouse.
She had given the iron ball to the men in black for self-defense.
Ji Chen must be aware of this matter.
And Ji Chen had also seen her use it.
Now he comes to borrow it again, which alone is enough to prove that he knows everything about the matter.
But he didn't intend to give her up.
He is openly defending her!
For a moment, Shi Xiaoxiao felt a little complicated.
It was as if something uncontrollable was silently taking root in her heart.
Finally she took a deep breath.
I shook my head and forced myself not to think too much.
