Across the Stunning Beast Princess: Phoenix Against the World - Chapter 276

Chapter 276

The Master of the Prefecture [8]

Once he thought up to here, Xiao Yuan Cheng was slightly more comforted . He silently made a look towards housekeeper Zhou .

The housekeeper Zhou understood, exclaiming: “Princess, it’s not that this servant doesn’t let you search it but that the key to this box, I had lost it a couple of days ago . Such a heavy box, today, we probably won’t be able to open it . How about you search it next time . After all, this box won’t be able to run away anyway . ”

“Unable to open this…” Huang Bei Yue slowly played with the leaves within the teacup . She suddenly smiled and took out a black dagger from her space ring: “This is the icy dagger that the Lord’s father had just gifted me . I heard that it peels metal off as though it was mud . I’m not sure if I am able to use this to open the lock . Dong Ling, you go try this . ”

“Yes . ” Dong Ling walked up to pick up the dagger .

Xiao Yuan Cheng quickly stood up: “No!”

Huang Bei Yue raised her head to ask: “Why not? Even if that lock is damaged, I will repay a better one to housekeeper Zhou . ”

Xiao Yuan Cheng’s face was turning ugly and the two hands tightly formed fists . The bones were cracking .

Huang Bei Yue stared at his expression and coldly laughed . Today, she was only punishing an individual to set an example for others . She definitely will search that housekeeper Zhou and take the evidence that he was stuffing his pockets with resources . Next, she will have the excuse to reorganize the financial affairs within the prefecture without restraint!

That housekeeper Zhou, today, she must teach him a lesson . She didn’t care if Xiao Yuan Cheng would let her or not . I – Huang Bei Yue wanted to do the things, you have the ability to stop me?

“The Lord’s father had already said so today, for me to tidy up the family manners . There must be someone to take the lead . Housekeeper Zhou, all these years, you had contributed to the prefecture a lot and am old now . Don’t blame me for making it feel as though you are wronged . It’s all those who resort to a negative style of manner and stuffed their pockets who were traitors, causing mischief! When this Princess catches them, I will harshly peel their skins off and help you vent your anger!”

It was still good when housekeeper Zhou hadn’t listened to this but when he heard this, goosebumps appeared all over his body .

Peel off their skins…

There was no one here who dared to take Huang Bei Yue’s as a joke . Today, the harsh methods in which she killed the servant, everyone had witnessed this . Who dared to be suspicious that she was just joking?

Housekeeper Zhou hurriedly cast a look towards Xiao Yuan Cheng, begging for help . This Huang Bei Yue was the real daughter of the Lord . As long as the Lord had made an order, so what if she was the Princess? Could it be that she will refuse her own father?

Xiao Yuan Cheng also had this decision in mind . But he knew that Huang Bei Yue was no the normal type of daughter . This girl, with one mouth, was able to make things seem more exaggerated and such . He needed to think about what to say .

“Looks like even father had agreed to this . Dong Ling, open the box . ”

Xiao Yuan Cheng was not even given time to think about what to say when Huang Bei Yue had already commanded Dong Ling .

Dong Ling moved quickly, bypassing housekeeper Zhou and the dagger had landed . The lock heavily landed on the ground and when housekeeper Zhou saw this, he pounced on it . The entire body pressed down against the box .

“Housekeeper Zhou, what are you doing? In this box, could it be that there are some things that we shouldn’t be seeing?” Dong Ling turned her head around to inquire .

Housekeeper Zhou shook his head continuously: “No! There is nothing!”

Xiao Yuan Cheng yelled: “Enough! What is there to search? Bei Yue, you had done enough disturbance today! Go back to your room and rest!”

“Disturbance?” Huang Bei Yue’s face slowly turned cold . She dropped the teacup, standing up: “What father had said made my heart feel chilling ah! Today, the Lord’s father had made clear to me to tidy up the family manners . I am young so I am afraid I won’t be able to convince the masses so I wanted to start from housekeeper Zhou in order to set an example . However, the father is saying that I am making a disturbance? Bei Yue had placed a lot of thoughts into this, isn’t that all for the prefecture of Princess Zhang!”

“But it’s going over the lines by searching through the rooms!” Xiao Yuan Cheng shouted . That box had been opened . If the items inside were seen by everyone, then he would…
