Chapter 16 Jade Bracelet
"The girl has a good memory. My surname is Pei, and the single name is Yi."

Pei... huh?

Ask lantern riddles?
It seems to be a little impression.

"Miss Qi, do you remember?"

"Sorry, I'm a little face blind, so... I didn't remember it." As soon as the voice fell, Shen Tu took Qiqiao's hand and walked quickly past Pei Xi's side.

"My son, my son?"

"……Um?"

"People have gone far."

"Qi Kang."

"Your subordinate is here, what are your orders?"

"Face blind...what do you mean?"

"Subordinate...can't think of it either." Qi Kang replied.

"Forget it," Pei Xi waved his hand, "Forget that your brain is more dull than wood."

After leaving the gambling house, Shen Tu found a hidden place and took off the men's robes on the two of them.

The man's robe was so wide that they put it on the outside of the jacket and skirt, which made it easy to put on and take off, and also made the two of them look stronger.

However, their disguise as men should have failed this time, after all, they were recognized at a glance.

That's right, every time she sees the heroine in a TV drama disguised as a man, she also scoffs, because it's too fake, can a man have such a slender figure?
"Miss, this dress..." Qiqiao looked at the man's robe in her hand, feeling a little troubled, "What should I do?"

"Of course I brought it back." Shen Tu folded the robe in his hand as small as possible. Although the disguise as a man was a failure, there are still many places to use it in the future!
When she has more money in the future, she will go to tailor a suit that fits her.

"But miss, if people find out that there are men's clothes in our room, they will definitely be..." Qiqiao frowned, and hesitated to speak. I can't tell how many mouths there are.

"What are you afraid of?" Shen Tu put the folded men's robe into Qi Qiao's hands, "It's fine if you hide it well."

Ma'an Street used to be Ma Xing Street. Sister Ma Xing owned a sugar shop, which was Shen Tu's favorite. Next door to the sugar shop was a shop that sold roast goose. Roast goose rolled in pancakes was his specialty.

After eating and drinking enough, I went back home.

It's just that as soon as he entered the mansion through the back door, he ran into Mama Bai in front of his grandmother.

"Fifth Miss, the old lady told you to go to her place."

"Grandmother called me?" Shen Tu was a little surprised. Grandmother didn't like anyone in the White Lotus House. As far as she knew, Grandmother didn't even want to see White Lotus.

"Okay, I'll go right away," she replied.

"The old lady is waiting for you in the room. Fifth Miss, it's better not to ask the old lady to wait too long."

"Got it, let's go."

Qi Shilang is filial, so his mother naturally lives in the best courtyard in the mansion.

"Old lady, Miss Fifth is here." After finishing speaking, Mother Bai walked over and stood behind the old lady.

"Grandma," she called.

"Fifth girl, you are all right now!"

"Go back to grandma, it's all right."

"Bai Chun, go and get my box."

"Yes, old lady."

"Fifth girl, keep this bracelet."

Looking at the jade bracelet held by Bai's mother, Shen Tu couldn't help but wonder, why did grandma give the jade bracelet to Bai Lianhua for no reason?
"Take it." The old lady saw that she was hesitant to answer, so she said again, "Don't blame your mother for that, she was also confused for a while."

Mother?

The eldest lady Qin Yurong?

What was it that made the old lady want to give her a jade bracelet to intercede with her.

"Fifth girl?"

"Yes, grandmother."

"You don't like this jade bracelet?"

"No." She shook her head, "I like it very much."

The jade bracelet is indeed a good pair of jade bracelets, but she still doesn't know the truth behind this pair of jade bracelets.

In the house, Qiqiao has already started a charcoal fire, and it snowed last night, and it is still cold today.

"Qiqiao, get me a cup of hot tea."

"Yes, ma'am."

That day, what Wang Liuying said in the carriage when she went to Fuhua Temple to pray for blessings, and what her grandmother said today when she gave her a jade bracelet, must have something to do with the eldest lady and the white lotus throwing into the lake.

It's just that if she wanted to find out the reason why the white lotus was thrown into the lake, she couldn't find out from her grandmother, so she could only start from Wang Liuying.

Qiqiao came back crying, but the hot tea she wanted was not there.

"What's wrong?" she asked.

"They...they..." Qiqiao couldn't speak clearly because she was crying so hard.

"Who?" she said patiently, "stop and make things clear."

"Elder...the eldest madam lost a...bracelet, they said...they said it was taken by the young lady."

"Why are you crying?" She suddenly felt amused, "We are innocent, even if they are called to search, we are not afraid."

Qiqiao's tears stopped suddenly, "That's right, let them search."

As soon as the words were finished, Chanjuan came with a few servants in a menacing manner.

"Fifth Miss, someone saw you coming out of the Da Furen's courtyard. We have to search your house today."

Someone saw her come out of Qin Yurong's courtyard?
It's ridiculous, this lie made out of nothing is really casually twisted.

She didn't bother to argue, seeing Chanjuan's fierce look with her hips akimbo, she already believed that the bracelet was held by her.

"Anything you want." She said, "It's just...if you can't find this bracelet, what are you going to do?"

"What should I do?" Chanjuan didn't seem to understand.

"If you can't find this bracelet, you are slandering me. In this mansion, my master and your servant, if you bring people to search my yard, I will cooperate, but—"

She didn't continue talking, Chanjuan naturally understood.

She also seemed to be a little vacillating. Although the fifth young lady is not favored, she is also the master's daughter. If she is a servant, if she really doesn't find the bracelet, she will go to the master to complain, and she will not be able to please her.

But remembering the explanation of the eldest lady, she felt overwhelmed, what was she afraid of, and the eldest lady supported her to make decisions.

"Search."

"Wait." Shen Tu looked at her, "Sister Chanjuan hasn't said what to do if she doesn't find the bracelet."

Hearing Shen Tu's words, Chanjuan's heart also trembled, but she still said in a horizontal voice, "If it is not found, Chanjuan will take the punishment herself."

"Okay." Shen Tu also smiled, "Since Sister Chanjuan has said so, then I can't stop it anymore."

There was indeed no bracelet, but they found out the man's clothes.

It's not that you didn't hide well enough,
"Fifth Miss, what should I say?" Chanjuan seemed to have obtained the Shangfang sword, and she was very imposing.

What is she going to say?
"Miss," Qiqiao tugged on her sleeve, panicking, "What should I do?"

"Fifth Miss, don't follow me to see the eldest lady."

Seeing that Shen Tu didn't say a word, Chanjuan said again, "Hurry up and take Miss Fifth to see the eldest lady."

So the people who followed Chanjuan immediately walked towards Shen Tu.

Shen Tu took a step back, but the hands that those people reached out to her were in vain, "I will go naturally, I don't need your help."

She understands that this matter has already come to an end.
