Chapter 299 Who is this? Why is he so arrogant?
Not only will he not support them, but he will send people to secretly sabotage the Jingzhao Yamen's investigation to ensure that the truth will never surface.
At this moment, Xiao Cui hurried in to Zhaoyang Palace and reported to Chu Zixi, "Princess, Princess Mengting is here."
Upon hearing the news, Chu Zixi gently put down the medical book in her hand, slowly stood up, and gently stroked the non-existent wrinkles on the hem of her clothes.
Chu Mengting was lively, cheerful and full of energy. Her voice came from far away, as if it could penetrate the entire palace, "Sister Xi."
Chu Zixi greeted them with a smile, and at the same time asked Xiao Cui and Xiao Lu to prepare some exquisite tea and snacks.
Chu Mengting waved her hand, her eyes sparkling with excitement, "No need, Sister Xi, I came here today specifically to find you to go out of the palace and play."
"Oh? Going out of the palace to play?" Chu Zixi chuckled and looked at Chu Mengting with interest.
"Sister Xi, you see the weather is getting warmer. It's getting stuffy staying in the palace all day. Why don't you go out and get some fresh air?" Chu Mengting said with a blink of her eyes.
Chu Zixi smiled gently: "Then where do you want to take me to play?"
Chu Mengting smiled mysteriously: "Let me tell you, Sister Xi, the capital was very lively last night. The warehouses of several ministers' mansions were robbed. Why don't we join in the fun and see how the Jingzhao government finds the thieves and solves the case? Maybe we can come across something interesting!" There was a hint of teasing and curiosity in her words.
Just then, a baby-like call interrupted their conversation.
"Mother, I want to go out of the palace to play too!"
Chu Mengting turned around and saw a cute little baby, Jun Bai, who had quietly come to them. He blinked his big eyes and looked at Chu Zixi expectantly, holding the corner of Chu Zixi's clothes tightly with his little hands.
Chu Zixi bent down and picked up Jun Bai, pinched his smooth face lovingly, and said softly: "Okay, I'll take you there."
Chu Mengting's gaze stayed on Jun Bai for a moment, then she widened her eyes, her face full of disbelief, and stammered, "Xi...Sister, he, is your son?" Her tone was full of shock and disbelief, as if she had seen something out of the Arabian Nights.
Chu Zixi smiled slightly, nodded gently and said, "Yes, I picked it up." Her answer was concise and clear, but it seemed to contain endless stories.
After hearing this answer, Chu Mengting felt relieved. She patted her chest, took a long breath, and murmured to herself: "Fortunately, the child was just picked up, otherwise I would really think that you secretly gave birth to a child without telling us! I was scared to death." However, her curiosity did not subside, but became more intense.
"But Sister Xi, tell me quickly, what's going on with this child? Where did you pick up such a cute, well-behaved child?" Chu Mengting asked impatiently, with curiosity flashing in her eyes.
Chu Zixi sighed softly and made up a story.
"This child is smart and very well-behaved." Chu Zixi said this with a gentle light in her eyes, "Although he was picked up, in my heart, he has long been my child."
After hearing this, Chu Mengting felt a warm current in her heart. She held Chu Zixi's hand and said, "Sister Xi, you really have a kind heart. However, it will be more lively when we leave the palace now. Take Xiao Junbai with you. I will buy him lots of delicious food."
Chu Zixi smiled and nodded, and then they took Jun Bai with them and left the palace and came to the teahouse opposite the Jingzhao government office.
When they arrived at the teahouse, Chu Zixi ordered some tea and snacks.
Chu Mengting sat by the window, propping her chin with both hands, and looked out of the window curiously. She said to Chu Zixi, "Sister Xi, look, those servants coming in and out of the Jingzhao government office are all from the ministers in the imperial city whose storehouses were robbed. They all came to the Jingzhao government office to inquire about the news. Tell me, how many thieves are there? How could they rob so many houses overnight?"
Chu Zixi looked at the scene outside the window and answered thoughtfully: "It's hard to say. Maybe there are not many thieves, but they may act in an organized and planned manner, so they can steal from so many places in a short period of time. It is also possible that it is a gang with a clear division of labor that can be so efficient."
Jun Bai was eating the food bought by Yu Da, thinking to himself: Of course only my mother is so powerful that she can hold more than one thing.
He secretly glanced at Chu Zixi. His mother was still as good at acting as ever.
At this moment, Qian Duoduo, the eldest daughter of the Qian family, came towards this side with the Qian family's servants.
Their team was very aggressive and wherever they went, the vendors' stalls on both sides were ruthlessly overturned to the ground by the servants of the Qian Mansion.
Qian Duoduo's face was cold, and she shouted in a icy voice: "Listen to me, everyone. If anyone dares to protect that thief, I will never let him go! If anyone can find my father, or provide information about my father's current situation, I will reward him with ten thousand taels of silver!"
Chu Zixi stood upstairs and witnessed everything that happened downstairs. She couldn't help but frowned and asked Chu Mengting beside her curiously: "Who is this? Why is he so arrogant?"
Chu Mengting curled her lips in disdain and replied, "Sister Xi, do you even need to ask? This is the daughter of Qian Fugui, the richest man in the imperial city—Qian Duoduo! Although the Qian Mansion was robbed, her business is spread all over the world. With a large family and a large business, she is naturally confident and arrogant."
"Oh, I see." Chu Zixi raised the corners of her mouth slightly, revealing a teasing smile, then leaned out of the window, supported herself on the windowsill with both hands, leaned forward slightly, and shouted to Qian Duoduo below: "Miss Qian, do you take what you said seriously? I have news about your father."
When Qian Duoduo heard this, her eyes instantly became sharp. She looked up at Chu Zixi and said in a deep voice, "Of course I take what I say seriously, but if you dare to deceive me, then the consequences will be very miserable. Do you really have any news about my father?"
Chu Zixi chuckled, a sly look flashed in her eyes, and she said with a half-smile: "Of course."
Qian Duoduo hesitated for a moment, then immediately walked quickly into the teahouse with the two guards beside him.
