Chapter 1543: Chapter 1542 This Doesn’t Make Sense_1

“Isn’t it kept in the back of the warehouse? How could it possibly go missing?!” Yu Ang exclaimed in disbelief.

His face turned ashen in an instant due to these words, and his body started to tremble.

Yu Zizhou’s complexion also changed dramatically. In a flash, he was at the entrance of the private room. He grabbed the collar of the attendant and demanded, “How could it go missing?!”

The attendant swallowed hard before explaining, “In the small warehouse dedicated to treasures, only the supports for holding the treasures were left. The treasures themselves have vanished into thin air!”

“Vanished into thin air? You imbecile!” Yu Zizhou pushed him away and rushed out of the door, using his lightness skills to hurry back to his own mansion.

Bei Yun leisurely sipped his soup, smilingly said, “What I said is true, right? Hey, aunt, you should send someone to keep an eye on him, lest he takes this opportunity to flee.”

Bei Lingsu’s brows were knotted in frustration. Upon hearing this, she subconsciously glanced at Qiao Xiaomai.

Qiao Xiaomai’s eyebrows were similarly knotted, “The Prime Minister is still here, the monk may run but the temple won’t, no hurry.”

“This concerns the safety of you and Tong Xingda, and you’re this indifferent?” Bei Yun looked at her with surprise.

“It’s not that I’m indifferent; it’s that I have a brain,” she replied.

“Ah?” Bei Yun blinked, puzzled.

“This matter doesn’t make sense,” Qiao Xiaomai glanced at him, then turned to Yu Ang, “Prime Minister, do you remember the oath that Wu Yancai made Yu Zizhou swear at Da’an Palace?”

Yu Ang took a deep breath, incessantly patting his chest. With the support of the attendant, he steadied himself and said with a quivering voice, “I remember.”

“At that time, Yu Zizhou first denied plotting against Tong Xingda’s father, but when Wu Yancai asked him to swear on your life, he admitted it. From this, it can be seen that he is a filial person, irrespective of anything else.”

“Yes,” Yu Ang exhaled deeply again.

Before plotting against Tong Xingda, Yu Zizhou, although lacking an official position and having never taken the Imperial Examination, was still a good person who helped with various household chores. He was obedient and filial; Yu Ang was quite fond of this grandson.

“How could someone with filial piety easily engage in rebellion? Once uncovered, the entire family would suffer. Yu Zizhou wouldn’t be so utterly heartless.”

“Tch, what do you mean by ’utterly heartless’? It’s called ’the victor becomes king, the loser an outlaw,’” Bei Yun couldn’t help but interject.

With an expressionless face, Qiao Xiaomai glanced at him and continued to look at Yu Ang, “Moreover, you took out the Jiufeng Feitian to admire at the beginning of the twelfth lunar month, didn’t you?”

“Correct. Several people in the mansion knew about it then, and they can surely affirm this if asked now,” Yu Ang said.

“Those people are from your Yu Family, of course they would side with you,” Bei Yun interjected again.

“Shut your mouth,” Bei Lingsu couldn’t help but glare at him.

He shrugged his shoulders and continued to sip his soup.

With no further interruption, Qiao Xiaomai said, “The people in the mansion likely don’t yet know what has happened. Prime Minister, who knew that day that you took out Jiufeng Feitian? You can have them called over for questioning.”

“Remember, just bring them here, don’t tell them what has actually happened.”

“Hey, how can you have the Prime Minister deal with this kind of thing; you should be the one sending people,” Bei Yun couldn’t help but speak up upon hearing this.

“Then let Haifeng lead people there,” Qiao Xiaomai looked at Haifeng, who was standing to the side.
