Chapter 43 The Golden Hairpin Lost
Lin Yuru dragged Wan Su to a small guest room, and saw that Qi Hui was about to change clothes at the moment, but the cumbersome gauze was stuck on the golden hairpin hanging on her head and she couldn't get it off, looking very embarrassed.

"Hui'er's dance dress is complicated, and it's not easy to wear it often. She wants to change it. The servants don't know where they are going, so I can help her, but I'm so clumsy that I hang up her dress." It was on her gold hairpin, and now her hair is messed up, and the hairpin can't get off. So I asked my second cousin for help." Lin Yuru said pitifully.

Wan Su thought of the group of girls who spoke ill of herself with her just now, don't they all have time?How could Lin Yuru think of asking her for help?

"Second Miss Liang, I'm sorry." Qi Hui said gratefully.

Wan Su asked her to lower her head, and sure enough, her hair was messed up, and the bright red gauze was mixed with hairpins and hair, it was really messy.

Wan Su patiently helped her, and it took only a cup of tea to separate the hairpin from the clothes.

Qi Hui was very grateful, "Thank you, Second Miss!"

"It's a little effort, it's nothing!"

Wan Su looked at her, but found that there was an inexplicable emotion deep in her eyes, what was it?

When Wan Su was curious, Lin Yuru noticed her vigilance, as if afraid that she would find out something, he couldn't wait to pull her out.

I saw her holding Wan Su's arm with both hands, smiling like a flower at Yan, with an unprecedented intimacy.

Back at the banquet, everyone was already half drunk, and the banquet was coming to an end, Caixiang helped Wansu check the surroundings in case anything fell.

At this moment, Qi Hui suddenly ran over in a panic, and knelt down in front of Mrs. Qi with a "plop".

"Punish my grandmother!"

The people who were still chatting were all attracted by this side, and cast their gazes over.

Mrs. Qi asked with a confused face: "Hui Er, what's wrong with you!"

"I~I~" Qi Hui faltered and seemed terrified, and said after a long time, "I lost the Eight Treasure Golden Hairpin!"

What eight treasure gold hairpin?Everyone looked at each other in blank dismay.

Only the members of the Qi family have changed their complexions at this moment. Li Shi took a step forward and said anxiously: "What did you say? The eight-treasure golden hairpin is lost? You have searched carefully, did you find it somewhere?"

Qi Hui burst into tears, she shook her head and said, "No, I have searched for it, and there is no sign of the golden hairpin."

At this time, a lady from the crowd came out and asked: "Madam, I don't know where this golden hairpin came from! Why are you all so nervous!"

Mrs. Li didn't know how to speak, so Madam Qi said for her: "The gold hairpin was a congratulatory gift from the empress when my son and daughter-in-law got married. It was given to her."

"Could it be the one on Miss Qi's head when she performed just now?" asked a daughter in the crowd.

Speaking of this, the ladies who were close to Wan Su and Lin Yuru just now all looked at her door, because they clearly remembered that the two sisters had discussed the golden hairpin during Qi Hui's performance just now.

"Yes, it's that one. That golden hairpin is in the shape of a jasmine flower. It got its name because the top eight petals are inlaid with eight kinds of precious gemstones. That golden hairpin is not only extremely rare, but also a royal gift. You must not lose it. If you lose it, even if you kill me, you will not be able to pay for it!" Qi Hui was already in tears as she spoke, looking so pitiful.

"Miss Qi, don't worry, think about it carefully, did you come into contact with someone just now, maybe someone stole it because of money eyes." Mingyi County Master said, her eyes couldn't help but look at Wan Su's side.

She finally understood Qi Hui's plan. Stealing the imperial gift is a capital offense. If you dare to rob me, Liang Wansu will call you back today.

Qi Hui pretended to be thinking, and shook her head after a while and said: "No, the gold hairpin was still there when I was at the banquet just now, and I didn't take it off until I went to change clothes. Miss Liang Jiaer and Miss Lin can do it for you. I testify that they changed my clothes for me."

This time, almost everyone turned their attention to Liang Wansu and Lin Yuru.

Lin Yuru didn't panic, but she said calmly: "When Miss Qi changed her clothes just now, I did see the golden hairpin, because the golden hairpin caught her clothes and entangled her hair. I can't come down. I am clumsy with my hands and feet, and I was afraid of hurting Miss Qi, so I called my second cousin to help. It was the second cousin who took the golden hairpin down. I have never seen that golden hairpin!"

In this way, Wan Su became the only suspect.

"Impossible, Second Miss Liang wouldn't do such a thing! Sister, you must have made a mistake." Qi En stood in front of Wan Su and said, "Could it be that your maid took it. They saw Gold hairpins are precious, so it is possible to have a motive for wealth.”

Qi Hui shook her head and said, "No, I haven't seen them since I changed my clothes, and the last one to see the golden hairpin was only the three of us."

The head of Mingyi County saw Qi En talking to Wan Su, and his heart suddenly felt sour: "Brother Qi En, we know that Miss Liang is engaged to you, but you can't be so partial to her. She is the one who meets the hairpin in the end." One person, who else would it be if it wasn’t him. It’s fine if it’s an ordinary thing, but this eight-treasure gold hairpin is a gift from the imperial court. Do you care about life and death?"

When everyone heard the words, they started whispering, and the ladies who were close friends with Qi Hui and Lin Yuru started discussing without hesitation because they remembered Lin Yuru's evaluation of Wan Su just now.

"She is a master who has tried her best to climb up. Such a miserable person can't do anything."

"Yes, yes, she is someone who has never let go of her own sister. How can she care about other people's lives?"

"That's right, for a person like her, it's not uncommon for her to take away the golden hairpin when she sees money."

······
The more people discussed, the more reasonable they felt. In the end, almost everyone believed that it was Wansu who did it.

Mrs. Liang finally couldn't sit still anymore, she asked Wan Su in a low voice with some anxiety, "Wan Su, what's going on?"

"Grandma, I didn't do this." Wan Su said frankly.

"You didn't do it? What a joke! There is no thief who would take the initiative to say that he is a thief! In my opinion, he will be sent directly to Jing Zhaoyin, and he will be recruited as soon as he is tortured." Mingyi County Master said.

"County Master Mingyi, do you have evidence that this is me. Now that three people have become tigers, and everyone has no evidence, they are so talkative, and they want to send me to Jing Zhaoyin, what? Are you trying to beat me into a trick?"

Wan Su's eyes were calm and her tone was calm.He didn't panic at all because of the tense situation at this time.

At this time, Qi Hui, who was still kneeling on the ground, suddenly walked up to Wan Su on her knees, and said with tears in her eyes: "Miss Liang, I beg you. Please return the gold hairpin to me. I am willing to use all my jewelry to share with you." In exchange, you can't take away the eight-treasure golden hairpin, and I can't live without it!"

Qi Hui burst into tears, her appearance was so miserable, her crying confirmed that Wan Su was the thief who stole the Eight Treasures Golden Hairpin.

Seeing this, everyone blamed Qi Wansu more and more.

Seeing this, Wan Su hurriedly went to help Qi Hui who was kneeling on the ground, Qi Hui stood up and didn't notice at all, Wan Su actually used this to touch her waist.

At this moment, Lin Yuru also seemed to be unable to bear it any longer, and said with righteous indignation: "Second cousin, how could you do this? I know you grew up in the countryside and never saw anything good. But if you want jewelry, and Miss Qi said yes, she has always been generous, how could she not give you away. But you should never steal it. I thought you were fascinated by ghosts for a while, and you will always want to open it. But I didn’t expect you to be so stubborn It doesn't work. Now I see Miss Qi so miserable, I really can't bear it. If that's the case, Second Cousin, don't blame me."
