Chapter 281 Propose marriage?
Yuehua gently pushed the door open a narrow gap and looked around vigilantly, but did not notice anything unusual.
She secretly breathed a sigh of relief, thinking that maybe it was just a false alarm.
However, just as she relaxed her guard a little, a sharp and piercing female voice suddenly broke the silence of dawn.
"There's a thief! Catch the thief! Someone come quickly! Come and catch the thief!"
The scream was like a sharp blade, piercing the quiet night sky, making people shudder.
Yuehua's heart skipped a beat and her body began to tremble involuntarily.
She hurriedly closed the window, fearing that her clothes would be discovered by others.
At the same time, the noise outside became louder and louder, as if the whole world was awakened by this sudden change.
Yuehua hid in the room nervously, her heart beating rapidly and a layer of fine beads of sweat appeared on her forehead.
She didn't know what had happened, but from the terrified screams she could guess that something big must have happened.
Her heart was pounding and she didn't know what was going on.
Just then, there was a knock on the door.
"Sister Yuehua, are you there?" Cai Lian's anxious voice came from outside the door.
Yuehua was startled and responded hastily: "I'm here, what's going on outside? It's so noisy!"
Cai Lian's voice was a little nervous. "It seems that a thief broke into the master's study, and someone saw the thief coming to our yard."
Yuehua was shocked. What was going on?
She had just returned to the mansion when thieves broke in and stole from the master's study. What was even more coincidental was that these thieves actually ran to their yard!
Yuehua was shocked, but she changed her clothes faster and faster.
Cai Lian's voice came from outside the door: "Sister, the master has brought people here to investigate. Except for sister, everyone in the courtyard has come out."
Yuehua responded, "Okay, I'll change my clothes and be there soon."
Cai Lian, who was outside the door, heard this and did not ask any more questions. She just urged, "Then sister, hurry up. The master is already urging us."
Yuehua put aside her doubts and changed her clothes faster and faster.
When she went out, numerous torches lit up the courtyard as bright as day.
Just like Cai Lian said, most people in the yard were outside.
A middle-aged man in gorgeous clothes and Miss An Ning were sitting at the stone table in the middle of the yard, surrounded by a group of servants.
This was the first time Yuehua met the master of Yu Mansion.
He was dressed in a gorgeous brocade robe embroidered with exquisite patterns, a jade belt around his waist, and a jade crown on his head. He had a handsome face, elegant temperament, and exuded a heroic aura.
Yuehua didn't look over, she just lowered her head and walked quickly to Cailian and stood still, not attracting much attention.
Lu Yuqi spoke in a low voice, "Ning'er, are these the only people in your courtyard?"
An Ning glanced around and replied, "Yes, father."
Lu Yuqi glanced around and sat there with an imposing manner without even getting angry.
His voice was low and clear, full of majesty, "A quarter of an hour ago, a man in black went to my study and took something away."
He glanced at the trembling people in the yard and said, "Someone said that thieves came to this yard. Who is it? Come forward now and I can still spare you."
Yuehua's heart tightened, she subconsciously clenched the corner of her clothes, lowered her head and said nothing.
Although she didn't steal the things, she still felt guilty when she thought of those vague gazes just now.
What's more, Master Yu's eyes were indeed very oppressive.
"If no one admits it, we'll have to search everyone one by one." Lu Yuqi's voice was icy cold and chilling.
Hearing this, Yuehua's face turned even paler and her heartbeat quickened uncontrollably.
She hadn't had time to pack up the clothes in her room. If she put them in front of Master Yu and Miss, how would she explain it?
Just as she was daydreaming, a clear voice rang out.
"Father, maybe the thief has already escaped. Mobilizing such a large force to search will only alert the enemy. It would be better to send people to guard all exits of the house first, and then investigate slowly." The person who spoke was An Ning.
Lu Yuqi frowned slightly, thought for a moment, and nodded.
"Okay, let's do as Ning'er said. You all can go away." As he finished speaking, the crowd gradually dispersed and the yard returned to calm.
Yuehua breathed a sigh of relief, then looked at An Ning, a hint of gratitude flashing in her eyes.
Yuehua saw from afar that Master Yu and Miss An Ning talked for a few words, and then they left with the servants.
However, due to the distance, Yuehua did not hear clearly what they said.
After Lu Yuqi left, An Ning said a few polite words to everyone in the yard, and then knocked on them one by one, and then asked everyone to go back and rest.
Yuehua was a little absent-minded until everyone left. Then she suddenly came to her senses and hurried back to her room.
However, when she opened the door, she accidentally exposed her nightgown to An Ning.
However, An Ning just pretended not to see it, turned around and went back to her room.
Although An Ning guessed that this search of the mansion might have been planned jointly by His Majesty and the two generals, she was not clear about their real purpose.
Judging from the situation in Yuehua’s room, it is likely that Yuehua was discovered when she went out just now.
Could it be that he just wanted to scare Yuehua?
An Ning scratched his head. His Majesty must have some other intention in doing this and would never be so careless.
Forget it, since General Lu said that she didn't need to worry about it, then no matter how much she thought about it, it would be unnecessary worry.
As a result, an uninvited guest came to the mansion early the next morning.
When the news reached the hospice, she was also shocked.
"What?" An Ning asked in surprise, "We have just arrived in Tongzhou and haven't had time to visit anyone yet. How could someone come to visit us on their own initiative?"
"Yeah, I find it very strange too." Cai Lian replied, "And I heard that the man who came was a handsome man, and he came to see the master, maybe..."
Cai Lian blushed when she said this and stopped talking.
An Ning frowned, "Maybe what?"
Cai Lian couldn't stand An Ning's questioning and had to tell the truth, "Maybe he came to propose marriage."
"Propose a marriage?" An Ning couldn't control her voice and raised it several times.
Cai Lian begged for mercy again and again, her voice as thin as a mosquito, "Miss, that's what the fat people say. Although our family has just arrived, it's been rumored that the Yu family has two beautiful ladies..."
An Ning was so angry that she almost laughed, but she didn't make things difficult for Cai Lian.
After all, she didn't know the whole story, so it was normal for her to think this way.
But she wanted to see what this person was here for.
Although no one asked them to go over, it was still possible for them to sneak over and take a look.
Isn’t this a coincidence? Qi Wuyou thought so too.
As soon as the two of them walked out of the hospital, they saw each other's sneaky figures.
