Mo Lingwei walked behind her and looked down at her communicating with the little mouse.

In his eyes, the little mouse just chirped a series of chirps, but Shen Ningning seemed to really understand it and said in surprise: "Really? Did you see it clearly?"

Something magical happened, the mouse actually nodded.

Mo Lingwei raised his eyebrows. Sometimes he was worried. His wife was so powerful, what should he do if he couldn't compare to her?

For example, he couldn't learn how to communicate with animals.

But then I thought about it and felt proud. Someone else's wife might be gentle and considerate, or might be good at washing and cooking, but his little wife could talk to animals!

Oh, not his wife yet.

Mo Lingwei's face turned dark again when he thought of this.

Shen Ningning learned the truth and took out a piece of candy from her sleeve: "Thank you for telling me, this is your reward."

The little mouse was holding a big candy bar in its two paws. It was chirping, using words that only Shen Ningning could understand -

"You're welcome, you can call me the knight rat. We hate people and generally won't help you. But our rat king said that you are a generous woman and a good person, so let me inform you, We took the food from Ma's house, and we chewed up the cabinets, because you said you wanted to teach him a lesson, but if things like gold are lost, it has nothing to do with us, it's man-made!"

What exactly happened, it had just told Shen Ningning.

At this moment, Shen Ningning couldn't help laughing after listening to its words, and a smile appeared on her bright face.

"I understand. You can go back. Leave this matter to me and I will get to the bottom of it."

The little mouse nodded, hugged the candy, and ran back to the hole in the corner with a hum.

Shen Ningning stood up and looked back to see Mo Lingwei looking at her.

"What did the mouse tell you?" he asked in a low voice, looking curious.

Shen Ningning blinked her long eyelashes: "It said that when they went to Master Ma's house last night, they saw the real person who stole the golden Buddha."

After saying that, Shen Ningning looked over at Master Ma, who had a gray face.

The girl walked over and asked meaningfully: "Master Ma, do you still think that Shopkeeper Wen stole your golden Buddha?"

Master Ma was suspicious in his heart, but he didn't dare to say it out loud.

"I don't doubt it anymore, I don't doubt it anymore," he waved his hands repeatedly: "Maybe I forgot where I put it. I'll send someone to look for it."

Hearing his tone, Shen Ningning concluded that he must still think that Shopkeeper Wen had stolen it, or that Shopkeeper Wen had asked Shen Ningning to arrange for someone to go to his house and break into an empty house in order to retaliate against him.

So, Shen Ningning pursed her pink lips and said, "I know where your golden Buddha is. An enthusiastic knight just now told me."

"Where is the Golden Buddha?" Master Ma asked anxiously.

The people around were muttering to each other——

"Let me tell you, the princess was definitely talking to Dadi just now."

"Or an invisible god, otherwise, how would she know where the gold is!"

Shen Ningning said calmly: "It is said that it is difficult to guard against thieves during the day and at night. Go and search in the box under your son's bed. There should be not only the golden Buddha, but also the jade you lost before. Maybe there will be something unexpected. Discover."

Mr. Ma was surprised. He had a few pieces of fine jade that he had been playing with for many years. They were purple-green in color and were called spring ribbons. They had no impurities. They were his wife's dowry. Because he liked them, he kept them for himself. They were so beautiful. The concubine asked him for it, but he was not willing to give it out.

But just half a month ago, this piece of jade was lost. Master Ma searched the entire house and couldn't find it. He didn't dare to say anything for fear of being discovered by his wife.

How did Princess Funing know?

In order to verify the authenticity, Mr. Ma was about to return home. Mo Lingwei sent two guards to follow him to prevent him from denying his account. While waiting, the defense officer asked Mo Lingwei to take a seat at the county government office where the case was being heard and take a short break. Mo Lingwei refused to sit down and instead pushed Shen Ningning down on the chair.

"You sit down and rest."

"how about you?"

"I'm not tired." Mo Lingwei pursed his thin lips and glanced down at her.

Shen Ningning saw that there was a faint greenish tint under his eyes, presumably because he had been traveling day and night and not slept well.

She muttered: "Why are you here? I have left you a letter. I will go back when the matter is done."

Mo Lingwei narrowed his eyes: "You heartless guy, why would I chase you for thousands of miles? Of course it's for your safety. I'm not worried about you being out there alone."

Shen Ningning felt warm in her heart. She blinked and asked, "Then the emperor uncle wants you to come out?"

"He didn't know it when I left, but I also left him a letter. I learned from you."

When the girl heard this, she could imagine how angry the emperor would be when he found out about the letter.

She sighed helplessly: "How about you go back after the things here are taken care of?"

"You want to get rid of me? Impossible." Mo Lingwei refused very decisively. He snorted coldly: "Without me, even if you can handle today's matter, you will still have a little trouble, so I am still quite useful. Come with me, at least I won’t cause you any trouble, and I’ll give you an extra bodyguard.”

Shen Ningning laughed so hard that her branches trembled.

The garrison officer carefully served tea and bowed to serve the prince and princess. Even shopkeeper Wen and his family sat on the benches.

After a while, two of the prince's guards came over with a young man with a bruised nose and face, followed by a furious Master Ma.

"Why do I have a bastard son like you? You stole it to pay off your gambling debts, you bastard. I won't beat you to death today!"

He raised the stick in his hand, and the young man screamed in fright. The prince's guard immediately raised his hand to stop him, and said coldly: "Stop hitting him. If you hit him again, he will die. How can you bring him to justice?"

The defense officer immediately asked Master Ma to explain the whole story clearly.

It turns out that the Golden Buddha is actually Master Ma's son. He returned home alone to steal it last night when everyone was away from home.

Because he was addicted to gambling, he owed a huge debt of five thousand taels of silver.

But he didn't dare tell his family, for fear of having his legs broken by Mr. Ma.

When he stole the golden Buddha last night, the little mice saw him clearly and even knew where he was hiding it.

Mr. Ma knelt in the court, begging Shen Ningning and Mo Lingwei to show their respect, but Shen Ningning said sternly: "You stole property, even if you are a member of the same family as Mr. Ma, you have violated the law. According to the value of the golden Buddha and jade, you should I will be punished with fifty rods and be imprisoned for three months to serve as a warning to others!"

Now, Mr. Ma has no more excuses.

The truth of the matter was completely revealed, and the people shouted and applauded.

Shopkeeper Wen burst into tears with excitement.

At night, in order to thank Shen Ningning and Mo Lingwei for their kindness, shopkeeper Wen prepared a sumptuous banquet at home to thank them.
