Chapter 238 The Conspiracy Begins

After the fireworks were over, everyone was still immersed in the joy just now, and they couldn't help sighing that today's fireworks were the most beautiful they had ever seen.

Suddenly a woman shouted: "My God, my golden hairpin is gone!"

Everyone couldn't help being stunned, Lin Qinghe raised the corners of her lips slightly, looked at Qiushui who was passing by not far away, and a faint sneer appeared in her eyes.

All eyes were on that woman. This woman was the wife of Mrs. Cao, the prefect. After Cao Shangchun, after Cao Shangchun became rich, she also flew to the branches.

Even after Cao Shangchun took in several young and beautiful concubines, he still attached great importance to her and let her continue to be the wife.

"Second madam, what should I do?" Mrs. Cao grabbed the hand of the second madam and said anxiously: "This golden hairpin is a token of love that our master gave me back then, so we must not lose it!"

The second lady hurriedly said: "Madam Cao, don't worry, if you lose it in the mansion, the mansion will definitely find it for you."

Someone said: "Mrs. Cao, although your golden hairpin is good, we are all people of status, so we would never take it. The servant girls must have picked it up."

Mrs. Cao said: "Those servants who have never seen the world must have stolen it! Second Madam, I don't care, it was lost in your house, you have to decide for me."

The second lady supported her, and said comfortingly, "Madam Cao, don't worry, when you came, I did see the gold hairpin on your head, it is very beautiful. If it is an ordinary gold hairpin, I will make people pay for it if you lose it." One is for you, but I never thought that this golden hairpin has an extraordinary meaning."

"Yes, it was given to me by my master when he first came to the capital as an official. He said it was a token of love back then. It is of great significance."

As Mrs. Cao spoke, her eyes couldn't help but sweep around the ground, hoping to find it.

The second lady said: "Come here, search everywhere in the mansion."

Mrs. Cao thought for a while and said: "Second Madam, I didn't move around much just now, I just watched the fireworks inside and outside this hall, I was also very careful about this hairpin, I reached out to touch it from time to time, and it was still there when I went out. of."

However, it is naturally impossible to find it outside.

The second lady said: "Mother Shu, take a few people with you and search every yard, fearing that some slave has dirty hands and feet. If you see it, you can't help but hide it!"

Hu's mother quickly responded, ordered a few old maids, took a few servants, and walked towards each courtyard.

Lin Qinghe sneered, looked at the second lady, and saw that the eyes of the second lady seemed indifferent, and she deliberately concealed the previous hatred.

The second lady said: "Search from my yard first, lest people say that I am playing for selfishness."

Hu's mother responded, and went to the Weiyu Pavilion first, and the women she brought with her were also the second wife's people.

Lin Qinghe couldn't help but sneered in her heart, it's time for the old lady to come out.

She winked at Pearl, and Pearl left quietly.

Everyone in the hall was seated, and no one wanted to leave. First, anyone who left before the thing was found would be suspected. Although the people present were either rich or noble, they naturally disdain to take Madam Cao's money. Chai, but the servants around him couldn't guarantee that they didn't find it.

Furthermore, how could one not watch such a good show?These people usually like to gossip about other people's affairs. It seems that what happened today is enough for them to gossip for many days.

Lin Qinghe looked at the second lady. The second lady had an unpredictable expression on her face, and there was a sneer on the corner of her lips. Lin Qinghe knew that there must be some kind of conspiracy expanding.

Fortunately, she has never been afraid.
