Chapter 102 -102: Human Hearts are Complex, You Still Need to Practice
If the soldiers are to search, then let them search.
If they find anything, Xiang Ying will take their surname.
She took the children and went out; numerous Exiled Criminals were driven out and gathered beside them.
Xiang Ying held Xiang Xiuxiu in her arms, standing in front of the crowd and yawning.
All the female dependents huddled behind her, watching the soldiers ransack the place with vigilance.
Their cooking pots were thrown on the ground, and the hard-earned tent fabric was trampled into a grimy mess.
Jie Chen, along with Supervisor Wei and a Think Tank sent by the Vice General, stood seriously on the side, watching.
Supervisor Ke was recovering in the camp due to a severed hand tendon and had not come over temporarily.
After the search of the tents was completed, the soldiers reported: “We didn’t find anything.”
The Think Tank narrowed his eyes and then shifted his gaze toward Xiang Ying and the group of female dependents.
“They haven’t been searched yet; if each person hides a little, it would add up to a lot. Strip them all!”
The soldiers immediately approached, and Skinny Monkey watched anxiously from the side.
He looked towards Jie Chen, not expecting Jie Chen to remain calm and stand there without any intention of speaking.
Xiang Ying blocked with her arm, protecting the women behind her.
“Our clothing is thin, and it would be obvious if we were hiding anything. You say you have searched the tents, not knowing that there are two places you haven’t been to.”
The Think Tank frowned: “How could that be possible? We have searched all the surrounding tents, what else do you want to argue about?”
Xiang Ying looked toward Supervisor Wei and Jie Chen: “How about the tent where the Military Supervisor resides? Why not search there? If your own people took it, does it not count as theft?”
Supervisor Wei was taken aback, and his tone feigned a gentle demeanor: “Even if we had the audacity, we wouldn’t dare to steal from the Vice General. Besides, with so many jewels, there’s nowhere to hide them.”
Xiang Ying’s lips curled coldly: “Hearing is false, seeing is believing. If someone stole the treasure and is trying to frame us, wouldn’t the Vice General be made a fool by others?”
The Think Tank was the Vice General’s confidant, and he actually felt Xiang Ying’s words made some sense.
Considering how the Vice General often treasured those jewels, always keeping them in the tent during sleep, only sleeping peacefully while watching them.
If he could really find the treasure, it would be a great merit.
In just a brief moment, the Think Tank had a whirlwind of thoughts and made up his mind.
He looked at Supervisor Wei: “Since that’s the case, let someone thoroughly search your tent, to also quell this ignorant female prisoner’s obstinance.”
Supervisor Wei bowed: “Naturally, I am not afraid to be searched. I am willing to lead by example, and my tent is open for the Deputy General to search.”
The Think Tank nodded and then turned to Xiang Ying, threatening: “The Vice General has ordered, whoever stole will be dismembered by five horses! Even if we can’t find the thief, it’s certainly you criminals who have taken it, and you can’t escape punishment.”
Despite the harsh words, Xiang Ying’s face remained expressionless.
Supervisor Wei’s tent was nearby. The Think Tank took people to search there, while Supervisor Wei turned around, not forgetting to express his determination:
“Think Tank, in my tent, be sure to dig up the ground as well. I haven’t taken anything, so naturally, I’m not afraid to be searched. You’re welcome to turn everything upside down!”
However, everyone was staring at his back, their eyes widening, whispering among themselves.
Even Jie Chen gradually furrowed his brows.
He patted Supervisor Wei’s shoulder, lowering his voice: “Where did these come from?”
Supervisor Wei turned around in confusion: “What things?”
“The beads on your back!”
“My back?” Supervisor Wei reached behind to feel and indeed, gripped a string of beads.
He took them off to look, and it turned out to be a long necklace of golden beads, totaling one hundred and eight, each inscribed with prayerful Sanskrit.
Supervisor Wei was stunned, eyes widening: “This, this isn’t mine!”

He had just come out of the tent and was standing here. Who stuck it on his back?
If it wasn’t for Supervisor Wei turning around, no one would have realized that there was a string of golden beads on his back.
Xiang Ying sneered, “Didn’t you say you didn’t steal anything? What’s this then? So many golden beads, they must be expensive, could it be Supervisor Wei’s family treasure?”
Qi Fengyi raised his voice towards the Think Tank’s direction, “Who knows if they are really his? What if they were stolen from the Vice General?”
Tao Xue sarcastically chimed in, “No worries, no worries, Supervisor Wei just said that he would never steal anything, these must have appeared out of nowhere.”
Jie Chen looked towards Xiang Ying, his handsome eyes flashing a trace of helplessness.
“Don’t add to the chaos,” he urged Supervisor Wei, “First put away these things, we’ll talk about it later.”
However, by this time, the Think Tank had already come back with his people.
Afraid of being discovered in his desperation, Supervisor Wei hid the golden beads inside his crotch.
But when he looked up, he saw soldiers behind the Think Tank carrying three large boxes.
Supervisor Wei saw the somber expression on the Think Tank’s face and had a bad premonition.
“What is this…”
“Supervisor Wei, go and explain to the Deputy General, how come there are three treasure chests buried under your tent, and they just happen to be the things the Deputy General lost!”
Supervisor Wei was completely dumbfounded, shaking his head frantically: “No! It really wasn’t me! I didn’t steal them.”
Xiang Ying tsk-tsked, “Stop lying, you still have golden beads hidden in your crotch.”
The Think Tank glared, “Really?”
He stepped forward and directly reached into Supervisor Wei’s pants, and whether by mistake or not, Supervisor Wei screamed out in pain.
Immediately, he fell to the ground trembling, his face pale, while the Think Tank pulled out a string of golden beads.
The Think Tank was shocked: “Supervisor Wei, the Deputy General has treated you very well, how dare you steal! Is it also you who moved away the provisions? Tell me!”
Supervisor Wei’s voice was trembling, “I really didn’t…”
Xiang Ying blinked her delicate eyelashes, her red lips voicing a puzzled question.
“If you didn’t steal them, then why hide the golden beads?”
This time, Supervisor Wei spoke with a trembling voice out of anger: “Isn’t that what you told me to do?”
He pointed at Jie Chen, “Fine, fine… I understand now, you and Xiang Ying are in cahoots. It must be you who took the things and want to frame me!”
Jie Chen furrowed his brow, “This has nothing to do with me, we certainly did not conspire.”
Supervisor Wei dramatically altered his previous demeanor, angrily cursing: “Jie Chen, you’ve done quite a few foolish things for her along the way, maybe it was you who did this!”
The Think Tank flatly said, “Stop arguing, go explain yourselves in front of the Deputy General!”
He directly had Supervisor Wei and Jie Chen taken away.
After they left, Skinny Monkey approached, curiously asking, “Sister-in-law, it seems like you don’t like Supervisor Wei? He’s been through hard times with us too, right?”
Xiang Ying simply laughed, “Human hearts are complicated, you still have much to learn.”
With that said, she turned her head and took the children to eat breakfast.
To deal with a stealthy traitor like Supervisor Wei, Xiang Ying could not tell Jie Chen, but she had plenty of ways to punish him.
Last night, she sneaked into Supervisor Wei’s tent and slipped him some sedatives.
Afterwards, she took out a spade from her space and got to work.
There was too much jewelry; she placed three chests and buried them, then levelled the ground, and as for the golden beads on Supervisor Wei’s back, they were naturally sewn there by her as well.
Perhaps it was the sedatives that allowed Supervisor Wei to sleep without feeling the discomfort on his back.
Xiang Ying had just finished eating a Chinese-style sandwich with the children: bao filled with ham, fried eggs, and greens.
Suddenly, the Deputy General sent someone over to take Xiang Ying away for interrogation.
