Fat Niang makes a fortune in farming

Chapter 537

"I serve the old lady. When I washed the old lady in the morning, I found that the bracelet she was wearing was missing. I searched the whole room and couldn't find it."

The old lady stood up and said what she knew, and stood back as soon as she finished speaking.

That's all she knew, and she really didn't want to have anything to do with it.

"Then how did you decide that it was Miss Xiao Shuang who stole the bracelet?"

The mayor continued to ask questions.

"Everyone in the house knows that the old lady's most precious thing is her bracelet. When the bracelet disappeared, everyone in the house immediately helped find it."

The old butler stood up and told everything he knew.

"I searched every nook and corner of the mansion but couldn't find it. In the end, I had no choice but to search all the rooms of the servant girls in the mansion."

"Who found it in Miss Xiaoshuang's baggage?"

The old pedant asked.

"Xia Hui, the young lady's maid, discovered it."

The old butler pointed to Xia Hui who was standing in the middle.

Xia Hui quickly stood up, she didn't lower her head like others and dare not look at Bai Yuchen and the others, but raised her head to look at them directly, and told the whole story with eloquence.

"I discovered it. At that time, all the maids' bags were searched, and finally I found the old lady's bracelet in the bag of this lowly maid!"

"Keep your mouth clean! What a lowly maidservant, you are also a maidservant, your parents didn't make you nobler than others."

Hearing that Xia Hui's mouth was not clean, Meng Kejun immediately became upset. She gritted her teeth and lashed out at Xiao Shuang just now, but she hadn't settled with her yet, and now she even calls Xiao Shuang a cheap maid.

"If she's a thief, then she's a lowly maid! This is both stolen goods."

Xia Hui was not afraid either, she just opened her mouth to choke with Meng Kejun, then turned around and walked aside, throwing Xiao Shuang's burden on the ground.

Bai Yuchen immediately stood up and went to the bag thrown on the ground to take a look, and sure enough, he saw a broken bracelet in the middle of the bag, and he also noticed that there was a lot of flour on the broken bracelet.

"It turns out that people really got the stolen goods at the same time!"

"It looks like she really stole it."

"I can't see it! The girl looks fair and clean, but her hands and feet are so unclean!"

Unpleasant whispers from the crowd began to reach Xiao Shuang's ears, and the embarrassing Xiao Shuang was ashamed of these words.

"I didn't. I didn't steal it! I'm not a thief."

Her face was pale, and she tried her best to argue for herself, holding Meng Kejun's hand even tighter.

"Then when you were looking for the bracelet, where were you, Xiao Shuang?"

Bai Yuchen walked up to Xiaoshuang and began to carefully organize the whole process in his mind.

When he lowered his head to ask Xiao Shuang what to say, when his eyes touched the finger prints on Meng Kejun's face, his brows immediately frowned. The person who slapped her, he would never let her off easily.

Xiao Shuang looked up at Meng Kejun who was holding her. She didn't dare to say it, for fear that if she said something wrong, she would be accused of being a thief.

"Don't be afraid, just tell the truth."

Meng Kejun nodded at her, motioning her to tell the whole process with peace of mind.

"I chop stuffing and knead bread dumplings in the kitchen. This is what the old lady eats every morning."

"Then when you were making dumplings, did you know that the old lady lost her bracelet?"

"I know! But the fillings for the dumplings I made are all freshly chopped, and because I didn't dare to delay the old lady's time for breakfast, so even if I knew it, I didn't leave the kitchen, I just wanted to hurry up with the dumplings in my hand Finished."

Hearing this, Bai Yuchen's eyes suddenly narrowed, looking thoughtful.

Speaking of this, Meng Kejun also immediately heard the strangeness.

"and then?"

Bai Yuchen asked Xiao Shuang to continue talking.

"I just finished making dumplings, and then sister Xia Hui rushed into the kitchen, tied me up without saying a word, and then took my bag and said that I stole the old lady's bracelet and that I was a thief! But this bracelet is real. I didn't steal it!"

Xiao Shuang repeatedly waved her hands to show that the old lady did not steal the bracelet.

"You still dare to quibble, the bracelet was found from your bag, and you all saw it, the bracelet is still covered with flour! It was you, a lowly servant, who stole it, so don't try to deny it."

While talking, Xia Hui pointed to the flour on the bracelet in the bundle, insisting that it was Xiao Shuang who stole it.

Seeing the flour that Xia Hui was pointing at, and seeing her jumping, the smile on Bai Yuchen's face grew even stronger.

Wang Zhujun, who was standing in the crowd, had been observing Bai Yuchen carefully all the time. It was a lie to say that she was not panicking at all. Bai Yuchen was a high-ranking official of the third rank. means.

It may be possible to deceive others with her own tricks, but she really has no confidence that she can deceive Bai Yuchen.

Especially now she couldn't figure out what this Bai Yuchen was thinking in his heart now, he looked at everyone casually for a while, a meaningful smile appeared on the corner of his mouth for a while, and an expression of sudden realization appeared on his face for a while.

She really didn't understand it, and she was really a little scared, even though she thought she was doing it perfectly.

"Oh! You are all looking for the old lady's bracelet, and you are all busy rummaging through the maid's bag. And she clearly knows that you are rummaging through the maid's bag, and she also knows that you will find your own bag, and she still has to pack it in the kitchen. Dumpling, do you think she is stupid, or is she out of her mind?"

Bai Yuchen asked Xia Hui back with a smile, but although he was smiling, there was no smile in his eyes staring at Xia Hui.

The mayor immediately stood up from his chair and continued following Bai Yuchen's words.

"That's right! It stands to reason that I stole the bracelet, knowing that you are about to dig through your bags, she should run out of the kitchen, take the bracelet from the bag, and hide it elsewhere."

As soon as the mayor said his analysis, the surrounding villagers were immediately dumbfounded again.

In just one morning, the twists and turns and bizarre developments of the situation are really more exciting than storytelling.

"She didn't hide it because she didn't have time to hide it. By the time she wanted to hide it, it was too late for us to discover."

Xia Hui immediately quibbled, and once again insisted that Xiao Shuang was a thief.

"Look, it's covered with flour. In the entire Yao Mansion, she is the only one who deals with flour all day long. Who else is there?"

Bai Yuchen walked to the front of the bag, squatted on the ground, and carefully touched the flour on the bracelet. The flour covering the bracelet disappeared with a light rub, and the bracelet immediately became very clean.

"Then tell me, when do you think the old lady's bracelet was probably stolen by Xiao Shuang?"

Bai Yuchen turned around and asked Xia Hui.

"It must be that when she made the dumplings and gave them to the old lady, she took them away."

Xia Hui said it with confidence, as if she saw it with her own eyes.
