My Wife is Unbeatable in the Whole World, Touch Me If You Dare!-Chapter 227 - 123: The First Confrontation Between Phoenix and Li Anning_4

Upon opening the box, Li Nuo saw stacks upon stacks of gold and silver.

In addition to these, there were also precious jewels, jades, and antique paintings and calligraphy.

The Huang Family’s financial power was far greater than what they had shown on the surface.

The Phoenix’s gaze lingered on several ancient paintings, she exclaimed in utter surprise, "Wu Zan, Chen Tang, Wang Xi, Zhang Yunze..., the authentic works of these painting masters, while not as valuable as Gu Youzhi’s ’Mountain Residence Painting’, are still treasures worth a city each..."

Li Anning looked at the gold and jade ornaments with surprise in her eyes and murmured, "These are all things from the palace, how could the Huang Family possibly have them?"

A look of astonishment appeared on Li Nuo’s face as well.

If there were only one or two Royal artifacts, it wouldn’t be so surprising.

Eunuchs, palace maids, and even female officials in the palace often stole items and sold them outside the palace.

But the Royal artifacts here were far more than just one piece.

Putting this together with Gu Youzhi’s "Mountain Residence Painting" and the theft at the Eastern Palace.

Could it be that the Huang couple were really the thieves of that case back then?

If he could solve this old case, it would be a significant achievement.

Although Li Nuo was currently at a bottleneck, once he made a Breakthrough, his cultivation would likely rise a notch.

Li Nuo thought about it and said, "Let’s go back to the Ministry of Justice first and take a closer look at the Huang couple."

He looked at the Phoenix and said, "Miss Phoenix, you should go back to the Jade Sound Pavilion. Thank you for taking the trouble to come here."

Phoenix said nothing, but she grumbled inwardly.

This fellow, always summoning her at will and dismissing her just as easily.

If it weren’t for asking her favor, he probably wouldn’t set foot in the Jade Sound Pavilion at all.

This would not do.

She nodded and said, "Alright."

As she turned to leave, her eyes caught the dried bloodstains on the ground, her legs suddenly went weak, and she collapsed onto Li Nuo.

Li Nuo reached out to support her, startled, he said, "Miss Phoenix, what happened to you?"

Phoenix, holding her forehead, said, "I, I have been faint at the sight of blood since I was a child, feeling a bit dizzy..."

Li Nuo thought to himself, true to her name as the Phoenix.

Even more delicate than he had imagined.

If she had seen the scene back then, she would have probably fainted outright.

Still, whatever the case, she was the one he had asked to come, and he had to ensure she was returned safely.

Li Nuo, supporting her arm, said, "Can you walk? I’ll take you back first."

Phoenix tried but said helplessly, "My legs are too weak to step forward."

Li Anning gave Phoenix a glance.

Faint at the sight of blood?

Why didn’t she faint just now?

How did she handle her monthly cycle?

Being a woman herself, don’t think she didn’t know what Phoenix was up to.

Li Nuo hesitated.

Phoenix couldn’t walk because she was faint at the sight of blood.

To carry her out was inappropriate; he had already lost the opportunity for a first embrace, and the first time a princess was carried, it should be reserved for the rightful wife.

To carry her on his back also seemed improper, and besides, she might not be willing.

Yet, he couldn’t just leave her.

While Li Nuo was caught in this dilemma, Li Anning stepped forward and said, "Let me carry you out."

Phoenix was taken aback, then said, "That wouldn’t be appropriate, Your Highness’s body is more precious than gold..."

Li Anning glanced at her and said, "No matter, we are both women, there’s nothing to avoid. You surely can’t expect a married man to carry you, can you?"

Seeing this, Phoenix couldn’t say much.

Li Anning bent down and Phoenix gently lay on her back.

Li Anning effortlessly lifted Phoenix and headed outside.

Though she was a Law Practitioner and not as physically strong as a Martial Artist, carrying another woman was still well within her capabilities.

But it must be said, this woman was truly heavy.

Although her certain part was not as full as her own, other places surpassed her.

Li Anning’s palms, supporting Phoenix’s rounded and perky lower body, couldn’t help but lament, such a beauty could surely enchant countless men...

Song Jiaren, oh Song Jiaren, how many vixens out there are eyeing your husband, this time, you owe me a favor...
