"No, it wasn't us!" Wei Jiany un's scalp prickled. He instinctively raised his head and cried out in protest.
Every gaze present instantly swung toward Wei Jiany un.
Wei Jiany un: "..."
Why were all these people staring at him?!
Were they trying to pressure him into submission with their stares?!
Absolutely not! He, Wei Jiany un, had a spine, too!!
The spine-possessing Wei Jiany un gathered his thoughts and was about to offer another word or two of explanation when that familiar childish voice spoke softly-
"Th-then weren't you the ones who wanted to rob Chengcheng?"
Not only was Jiang Yingcheng's voice soft, but her face also looked innocent and sweet. Beneath that sweetness...
Were nothing but poisoned blades.
Wei Jiany un choked.
W-well, that wasn't wrong, but-
"Yes, but-"
Jiang Yingcheng demanded sharply, "Didn't you write the threatening letter?!"
Wei Jiany un: "..."
Wei Jiany un was so aggrieved he nearly burst into tears!
They had written it, but who had dictated every single word and made them put it on paper?!
"We wrote it, but-"
Jiang Yingcheng suddenly turned around and buried her face in her handsome imperial father's arms.
"Boo-hoo, Imperial Father, this bandit uncle is so mean-" She sobbed so hard she could barely breathe. "Th-they even took Chengcheng's Gold Beans!!"
Wei Jiany un: "..."
Wei Jiany un's eyes widened.
How could such a black-hearted little dumpling exist in this world?!
In a daze, Wei Jiany un saw Great Rui's young emperor turn his head coldly and part his lips. "Search them."
"!!!"
H-heaven wants me dead!
Jiang Yingcheng never stopped sobbing out her complaints, but Liaochen and the others looked as though their teeth ached as they frantically signaled the little girl with their eyes.
*Please stop talking, little ancestor! What good is
