Chapter 13 Gems are stolen

Butler Zhang knew that he had "made a mistake" and quickly stepped forward to help, helping Geng Xiaofan up with Liu Fei'er.

"Young Master, I'm sorry, I'm blind." Butler Zhang kept apologizing in a low voice. He knew the lady's temper. If he really offended her "guest", he would definitely not do anything good.

Eat fruit.

"Brother Xiaofan, where are you injured?" Liu Fei'er's entire attention was on Geng Xiaofan at the moment, and she couldn't care less about "cleaning up" the housekeeper.

Geng Xiaofan moved his hands and feet. Although his whole body hurt, he didn't seem to be seriously injured.

"It's okay. Fortunately, you came quickly. If you hang me up for another day, I'm afraid my arm will be useless." Geng Xiaofan allowed Fei'er to support him. He still felt very "happy" when such a beautiful girl cared about him so much.

"of.

The two helped Geng Xiaofan out of the backyard. Butler Zhang wanted to take him to the front hall, but Liu Fei'er helped him directly to her boudoir.

"Miss, the master is still waiting in front." Butler Zhang persuaded carefully. Although he didn't know the relationship between the young master and the young lady, the young lady had never let a man enter her boudoir.

"Go and tell my dad, we'll be there soon." Liu Fei'er glared at the housekeeper.

"Brother Xiaofan, are you hungry?" Liu Fei'er pulled Geng Xiaofan to sit down in her boudoir and asked with concern.

"Not hungry, not hungry!" Geng Xiaofan smelled the unique fragrance of a girl's boudoir and felt a little confused.

"Brother Xiaofan, how did you escape?" Liu Fei'er picked up the teapot on the table and poured water for Geng Xiaofan herself.

"It's so hard to say that I almost fell to death." Although Geng Xiaofan was not hungry, he was indeed thirsty. He took the teacup and drank it all.

"Slow down." Liu Fei'er quickly poured another glass, then stood up and went to bring out two plates of dried fruits.

"The Han delegation saved me." Geng Xiaofan answered vaguely. He couldn't let everyone know that Sister Zhaojun saved him.

"Are you really okay? There are really no injuries?" Liu Fei'er didn't ask much, she just cared about his body.

"The fall hurts a lot, maybe it's all internal injuries!" Geng Xiaofan sighed, and he touched each of his ribs. It was indeed painful in some places, but none of them seemed to be broken. It seemed that he was still quite "strong"

.

"You have a good rest, I'll ask a doctor to come and take a look at you."

"No, don't bother." Geng Xiaofan didn't want to bother anymore. He couldn't trust the medical level at this time.

"I have a lot of good medicine at home. I must help you get better as soon as possible." Liu Fei'er is not stingy.

"Don't bother. I'm fine. I'll be fine after just two days of rest. I still have to go... By the way, Fei'er, what's going on with Brother Zhou?"

"Da Zhou, Da Zhou might have stolen my father's gems because of his wealth." When Liu Fei'er thought about this, she still felt a little helpless.

"Tell me the specific situation. I don't believe Brother Zhou would do such a thing." Geng Xiaofan frowned.

"After I went home yesterday, I met Zhou Da. I, I wanted to ask him something, so I left him to have a meal in the backyard." Liu Fei'er began to talk about what happened yesterday.

She wanted to inquire about Geng Xiaofan from Zhou Da, but unexpectedly, Zhou Da was a little absent-minded.

Huhanye Shanyu "came to" Liuquan Castle, and Liu Letian warmly received him. During the dinner, he talked about the gems he had collected, and Shanyu must see them. Liu Letian took them out personally for everyone to appreciate.

Before Zhou Da could appreciate it, he was asked to leave by the eldest lady. He really didn't want to miss this rare opportunity.

"Brother Zhou, this is simple. I'll ask them to bring it over later and you can enjoy it slowly." Liu Fei'er hadn't finished asking yet and didn't want to let Zhou Da leave.

Liu Fei'er really arranged for the maid Ping'er to get the gems and let Zhou Da admire them alone. Then, Liu Fei'er didn't care and asked Ping'er to put the gems in her study.

However, when I got up today to return the gems to my father, I found that the box was empty!

"As the old saying goes, if wealth is not revealed, treasures must be treasured. With so many people seeing the treasure yesterday, it is inevitable that some people will have evil intentions. But just because Brother Zhou was the last one to appreciate the gem, do you suspect him?" Geng Xiaofan was speechless.

"My father had a reason to suspect him," Liu Fei'er explained calmly, "Zhou Da left Liuquan Castle in a hurry early this morning, and found this in my study."

Liu Fei'er turned around and picked up a piece of copper and handed it to Geng Xiaofan.

Geng Xiaofan recognized it at once. It was the copper covering the scabbard of Zhou Da's sword. Not only did it look unique, but there was also an obvious word "Zhou" engraved on the copper covering.

"What does that gem look like? I mean how big is it?" Geng Xiaofan asked, gesturing with his hands.

"It's about this size." Liu Fei'er also gestured.

"What kind of stone is it? It's so big!" Geng Xiaofan was surprised. According to Liu Fei'er's comparison, it must be the size of a watermelon.

"It's a piece of ruby, called Wanshanhong..." Liu Fei'er chirped and introduced to Geng Xiaofan.

"Fei'er, take me to where you put the rubies." Geng Xiaofan became interested.

"Okay, come with me!" Liu Fei'er was a little excited. This brother Xiaofan is very "smart", maybe he can really find the gem for his father.

When she came to the study room next door, Liu Fei'er pointed to the ancient bookshelf, "Ping'er put the gems there yesterday."

"Where was the copper sheet found?" Geng Xiaofan carefully observed the grid where Liu Feier mentioned the gems.

"Right under your feet." Liu Feier was a little naughty.

Geng Xiaofan subconsciously jumped back a step.

"Haha, the copper sheet fell here. He probably accidentally dropped it here when he reached for the box." Liu Fei'er walked over.

"Where's Ping'er? I'll ask her." Geng Xiaofan didn't see Liu Fei'er's maid.

"I went out early in the morning and haven't come back yet."

"Fei'er, how long has this Ping'er been following you?" Geng Xiaofan asked pretending to be casual.

"She is the daughter of a Hu merchant. She started doing business with her father three years ago. Unfortunately, his father died of illness. She was helpless and stayed at my house. Why, do you doubt her?"

Although Geng Xiaofan had made his tone as calm as possible, Liu Fei'er was smart and she immediately understood the words.

"Send someone to find Ping'er. It's best to ask the guards at the village gate to see if she has left the fort." Geng Xiaofan still said in a calm tone. He had already seen some clues.

Liuquan Fort is heavily guarded, so this incident must be the work of "inside thieves". Moreover, at this special time when Huhanye Shanyu arrives, it may not be that simple for such a thing to happen.

The gems were stolen! Something big is going to happen.

"What do you mean?" Liu Feier frowned.

"Fei'er, Ping'er is probably not as tall as you." Geng Xiaofan pulled Fei'er to the shelf and pointed at the shelf.

"You, you mean, when she put it on top yesterday, it was just an empty box?" Liu Fei'er understood. The grid was almost higher than her height. If she wanted to put such a heavy box on it, she would have to do it.

I'm afraid it would be difficult for me, let alone Ping'er, who is half a head shorter than me.
