Doted by Many: I became the Top-Tier Celebrity!-Chapter 503 - 502: The Boy in White IV

Tiana’s beautiful fox-like eyes sparkled, thinking about Sister Chang’e’s big, fat rabbit...

Her mouth twitched, and she licked a little tiger tooth; she was craving again.

The Celestial Lord shook his head and said with a laugh, "You, when you first ascended to the heavens, wanted to eat any rabbit you saw. You almost ate Chang’e Fairy’s jade rabbit, which caused quite a stir for a while. If it wasn’t for Chang’e Fairy pampering you, you might have been banished to the mortal realm to undergo trials."

Tiana giggled sweetly, "Luckily, you all pamper me~"

"Sherry has gone to keep Chang’e Fairy company, so next time you eat a rabbit, check if it has a name, if it’s a pet, and don’t be greedy. Otherwise, if you come to me every time, won’t Chang’e’s jade rabbits become an epidemic?"

"Don’t worry, I’m a principled person, and I’ll never eat someone else’s rabbit~"

The Celestial Lord said, "Alright, go on with your fun then."

"Okay."

Tiana returned and entered the grass hut where Grandma slept. Her spirit entered Grandma’s dream, disguised as Chang’e Fairy, holding a jade rabbit, trying to mimic Sister Chang’e’s gentle smile, and softly said, "You’ve raised Sherry well. It has been blessed with celestial aura and has ascended to my Chang’e Hall."

After saying that, she exited, and then had a delightful sleep.

Sure enough, the next day, Grandma was in a great mood, didn’t get mad when she saw her, and was even grateful to Tiana. If it weren’t for her eating Sherry, how could it have become a jade rabbit? Afterward, Grandma was exceedingly considerate and respectful to Tiana.

Until—

Villagers came to make trouble.

In the eyes of the villagers, Grandma was their mother, the chief eunuch their father; these two wild children grew up unchecked, no one cared.

In their youth, they stole from families, but considering Tiana was a Divine Doctor, it was overlooked. But now, they were old enough to be parents, still stealing, it was a moral issue, simply intolerable.

At this moment, villagers who had suffered from their mischief all ran over.

"I say, how do you old folks raise kids like this? They’re not just kids, they’re like bandits, pulling up all our peanuts from the ground."

"These are people in their twenties, no longer kids, are they?"

"And listen, you came seven years ago, my child was just born then, and now at seven, already sensible and helping us old couple with chores, and you all..."

"The day before yesterday, caught fish from my small pond."

"The day before that, stole our sweet potatoes."

"The night before, dug up our sugarcane."

"Even took a piece of pork from our house."

"Even stole our rabbit."

"What is this? How can they be so brazen? Before, they compensated with money for what they took, as if buying it. Why no word after stealing this time?"

Grandma + maidservant + guard + chief eunuch: "..."

They looked at each other, still: "..."

Stealing and thieving, is this something their emperor did?

It’s rationally explained.

Was this... really something the emperor and that wild girl did?

Tiana was sleeping soundly, dreaming that her benefactor was roasting meat for her, hadn’t even taken a bite when she heard a rumbling noise.

She came out and saw some villagers with hoes and poles, seemingly intending to beat someone up.

Tiana frowned, "What’s all the racket?"

"You stole our things, how about that?"

"Yeah, yeah, if you’re out of money, we’ll have your parents pay."

"Why are you getting more outrageous?"

"It’s not easy for us ordinary folks to grow crops and such."

"Yeah, exactly."

Tiana, impatiently, said, "Shoo, shoo, shoo, shoo, go do whatever you should. Didn’t my brother already pay for what I took from you before? You also agreed, so why come seeking trouble today?"

"I say, Tiana Divine Doctor, what’s with that attitude?"

"Yeah, you treat and save people, we also paid you, you can’t just do whatever you want because you’re a Divine Doctor, can you?"

"Right, this time, taking so many of our things, how can it just pass like this?"

"During holidays, we also bring stuff for you, don’t we? This is too much, isn’t it?"

Tiana listened to the villagers speaking earnestly, closed her eyes for a moment, realizing the issue: "This time, it really wasn’t me. I’ll admit to what I’ve done."

"How could it not be you? In this village, only you enjoy doing stuff like this."

At that moment, Silas Hawthorne also came out of the room. After reading memorials all night, he looked a bit tired but caught on to what everyone was saying.

"Felix Grant, go investigate this matter."

Felix Grant, his guard, nodded and said, "I’ll look into it immediately, my lord."

Tiana had already guessed that the thief was one among the villagers. Seeing how she and her brother’s "parents" were always dressed in fine silk, with maidservants accompanying them, they must have appeared to belong to a wealthy family, which sparked a crooked scheme.

They planned to steal these things, then incite everyone to blame it on the notorious Tiana Divine Doctor, then extort money. Not only would they get all the stuff back, but also a decent sum of money, quite the deal.

Unfortunately, they made a miscalculation targeting the celestial emperor’s family.

Who is Felix Grant? He’s a guard. Even if brother has left behind the grandeur expected of an emperor when facing court ministers, Felix Grant wouldn’t. His mission is to guard and protect his brother at all times.

Under his imposing presence, indeed, no one could lie. It quickly became known that it was Butch Jagger who did it; they searched his home and found the stolen goods.

Because he confessed in time, the villagers, being fellow countrymen, didn’t pursue responsibility, just took back their belongings and also apologized to Tiana and Silas Hawthorne. 𝗳𝐫𝚎𝗲𝚠𝚎𝗯𝕟𝐨𝘃𝚎𝗹.𝗰𝗼𝗺

"Oh Divine Doctor, the fruits in my orchard are ripe, big, and sweet. When you’re free, you and your brother should come over."

"The peanuts in my field are big and plump, and at this season, they’re still juicy and tasty."

"I noticed the Divine Doctor has gotten thinner recently. There’s some carp in my pond, as wide as four fingers together, the soup is delicious."

"By the way, I see your mulberry tree hasn’t fruited. It’s probably from last year’s transplant, maybe the variety you chose isn’t right. In my mulberry grove, the trees bear mulberries so red they’re almost black, now that’s good stock."

"Come over whenever you can, bring your brother along."

"See you later."

"Bye-bye."

Watching the crowd leaving in a flurry.

Felix Grant + Grandma + maidservant + chief eunuch: "...???"

Are these villagers happily welcoming Miss Tiana and the emperor to come and take their hard-earned goods?

Steal...?

That word...

They looked at each other, sensing something very odd, thrown into confusion once again.
