After all the villains read my mind, they all came clean

Shen Yuexi closed her eyes slightly, her eyes darkened, and her eyes wandered around the second aunt's body indifferently.

After a moment of pause, she sneered: "Liu Qiu."

"Yes, ma'am."

"Go find the golden hairpin that Second Auntie wears on her head every day and see where it is."

Liu Qiu led people inside quickly, raised her hand and pointed behind the screen: "Go and look there."

Not knowing where she got the strength, Er Yiniang suddenly stood up and stood in front of Liu Qiu and others.

With panic in her eyes, she looked at Shen Yuexi: "What are you going to do, madam?"

"You usually love beauty the most." Shen Yuexi stepped forward slowly, her delicate eyebrows slightly furrowed, and looked at the second aunt with great interest, "Even if you are sick, you shouldn't be so haggard. Let them find the hairpin. , you’d better dress up, it’s not too late for us to sit down and have a detailed chat.”

The second aunt looked flustered and her eyes were evasive: "No...it's not necessary, right?"

Shen Yuexi remained motionless, staring at the second aunt, silent for a moment, and suddenly raised her voice: "Where did that golden hairpin go? Did you say it yourself, or did I order someone to search for it!"

The second aunt's body went limp, she staggered back a few steps, and was about to fall to the ground.

Liu Qiu, with quick eyes and quick hands, grabbed the second aunt's arm and glanced at the second aunt coldly: "Stand still, aunt, don't fall."

The second aunt failed to pretend to be dizzy, her face was full of embarrassment, and her eyes were narrowed.

[Anyway, the adulterers are all from the courtyard, so why not call in all the servants and just say that something was lost in the second aunt's house and you are looking for it, and see how they react. 】

Shen Yuexi raised her eyebrows indifferently, staring at the second aunt intently, but she said to Liu Qiu: "Liu Qiu, there is something missing in the second aunt's house. Go and call all the people waiting in the yard. Look carefully and take a look. Look where Er Yi Niang threw that golden hairpin."

"Yes."

Liu Qiu agreed, turned around and left quickly.

Not long after, she came back with all the servants and girls in the second concubine's courtyard.

Shen Yuexi was leisurely and contented, and returned to her seat to sit down.

"Liu Qiu, help the second aunt to the side."

Liu Qiu understood, grabbed the second aunt's arm and pulled her aside.

It's better to say that it's to help, but to prevent the second aunt from tipping off the adulterer.

Shen Yuexi picked up the tea cup, took a sip, and then looked at everyone slowly: "Second Auntie is not feeling well. She has been resting in bed these days and has no time to take care of things in the courtyard, so she has made you all dirty. "

Hearing this, everyone looked at each other in dismay.

Several honest maidservants were the first to kneel down: "Madam Mingjian, we are all old people in the mansion. We understand the rules of the mansion and we would never dare to do such a thing."

Several other servants also complained one after another that they were wronged.

Shen Yuexi was not in a hurry, and said quietly: "Why are you anxious? I didn't say it was you who did it."

She raised her slender fingers and gently waved them to both sides a few times: "You guys stand separately according to men and women, and let Liu Qiu and the others search to see if you have anything on you that you shouldn't have."

"If you are clean and don't have anything with you, you can naturally stay in the courtyard and continue to serve."

"But if you have dirty hands and feet and secretly took things from the courtyard, don't blame me for being rude."

After finishing speaking, Shen Yuexi raised her eyebrows slightly.

Liu Qiu understood and immediately stepped forward.

Liang Yuyu poked her head and looked around at the maids and servants.

Everyone's eyes were full of panic, and most of them followed Shen Yuexi's instructions and found a place to stand by themselves.

But there was only one person who was very cunning. While looking for a place to stand, he always looked carefully in the direction of the second aunt with his peripheral vision.

[There’s something wrong with that guy in white clothes. 】

[She is so sneaky that she always wants to peek at the second aunt. It seems that she is probably the second aunt's mistress. 】

Shen Yuexi followed Liang Yuyu's line of sight and naturally saw the sneaky servant.

This servant was wearing a white robe, with fair skin, a straight nose, and a pair of thick and handsome eyebrows.

Those eyes were vaguely similar to Liang Ruitian's.

It seems that Er Yi Niang also has some real feelings for Liang Ruitian.

Otherwise, why would you want to find an adulterer who looks similar to Liang Ruitian?
Shen Yuexi put her fist to her lips and coughed lightly.Liu Qiu took advantage of the situation and looked over.

Shen Yuexi raised her chin without leaving any trace.

Liu Qiu took advantage of the situation and stared at the white-robed servant.

She frowned slightly and raised her finger to point at the servant: "You, come here."

The servant was secretly looking at the second concubine when his name was suddenly called. A trace of panic flashed in his eyes, and he raised his finger and pointed at the tip of his nose: "Me?"

"It's you."

Liu Qiu stepped forward, grabbed the servant's arm, and pulled him out of the team.

She looked around the servant: "What's your name?"

"Yang...Yang Xu."

"What are you responsible for in the aunt's courtyard?"

"Responsible...responsible for the construction of flowers and branches in the courtyard."

As soon as Yang Xu finished speaking, several servants behind him couldn't help but chuckle.

Liu Qiu glanced at a few people and then looked at Yang Xu again: "Pruning flowers? All flower pruning in the house is done by people outside. Where did you come from?"

Yang Xu's face turned red from holding back.

He was already fair-skinned, but his entire face turned the color of pig liver.

Yang Xu's throat rolled, and he licked his lips nervously: "Yes... it was Second Auntie who saw that I was good at my craftsmanship, so..."

puff--
The servants at the back finally couldn't help it and laughed even more wildly.

[It seems that most of the servants in Er Yiniang's courtyard know about Yang Xu and Er Yiniang. 】

[It’s time for someone to search Yang Xu for anything. 】

Shen Yuexi stared at Yang Xu closely and said in a deep voice: "Liu Qiu, search."

Liu Qiu agreed, and just as he was about to take action, he saw Yang Xu hugging his chest tightly with his hands and shaking his body back and forth.

"What are you going to do?" Yang Xu suddenly widened his eyes and looked around at everyone with horror on his face, "Don't come here."

Liu Qiu's eyebrows raised: "I just said that I would be searched to prove my innocence."

"I didn't secretly take anything from Second Aunt's courtyard, why should I be searched?"

[Yang Xu is quite cautious when speaking. 】

[If you didn’t take it secretly, then you took it openly? 】

[Either it was given directly by the second aunt. 】

Liang Ruitian listened to Liang Yuyu's complaints, and the anger in his heart had reached its peak.

He stepped forward, pulled Liu Qiu away, and held down Yang Xu's arm.

Before Yang Xu could react, Liang Ruitian slid his right hand down and pinched Yang Xu's tiger's mouth.

No matter how hard Liang Ruitian tried, Yang Xu suddenly stooped, sweating profusely, and slightly bent his knees in an attempt to break away from Liang Ruitian.

This struggle not only failed to free Liang Ruitian's hand, but caused the robe to move slightly.

Wow--

There was a crisp sound.

I saw a package falling from Yang Xu's spacious robe.

The package fell to the ground and spread instantly.

The contents inside rolled all over the floor.

All kinds of gold, silver, jade, silver banknotes and jewelry are available.

The golden hairpin that Er Yi Niang usually wore also appeared in front of everyone.
