Chapter 240

Shu's mother led the women into the inner courtyard like wolves and tigers. Lin Qinghe said, "Second mother, tell them to slow down, don't break things, I'm not in a hurry."

The second lady yelled at Li Lili in a symbolic manner, and said, "Mother Shu, be careful with your people, don't break our young lady's precious things."

Shu's mother responded, "I know."

Everyone was waiting in the hall, and soon the women who went in came out in twos and threes. One woman held a gold hairpin in her hand and shouted excitedly: "I found it!"

The second lady said with a proud expression on her face, "Bring it to Mrs. Cao."

Mrs. Cao took it, and shouted with a smile: "Yes, this is mine, ouch, thank God, oops, I finally found it."

Lin Qinghe glanced at it. It was just a very ordinary golden hairpin. She asked the woman coldly, "Where did you find it?"

The woman said: "I found it in Miss Pearl's room. Mother Xia can also testify that she saw it found from under Miss Pearl's pillow."

Lin Qinghe smiled disdainfully and said, "How do you know that room is Pearl's room?"

"Uh……"

Another Mrs. Xia said: "Miss, this old slave came to your yard last time, so I know of course."

Lin Qinghe sneered and said, "Then how do you know that this gold hairpin is not Pearl's own?"

The woman said: "It's just a servant girl, how could there be such a precious thing? It must be."

Lin Qinghe smiled, and said to Xiuju: "Xiuju, take out your jewelry and let this mother Xia have a look."

Xiuju said: "Yes, she took out a box from the room. After opening it, it was either made of gold or jade, each of which was very precious."

Lin Qinghe said indifferently: "Don't talk about pearls, such first-class maids who have been used by the old lady, even Xiuju, who has just been promoted, have jewelry that is definitely first-class."

Just as she was talking, she heard the old lady's voice: "What's going on here?"

The second lady greeted her and said with a smile: "Old lady, Mrs. Cao's gold hairpin is lost, aren't you looking for it? Fortunately, I found it in Pearl's room."

When Pearl heard this, she said, "Second Madam, are you sure you found it in the servant's room?"

"Of course," the second lady said decisively, "Pearl, why did you steal Mrs. Cao's gold hairpin? No wonder, as soon as I said I wanted to search, you quickly slipped away. It turned out that you came back to hide the gold hairpin. Get down on your knees!"

Pearl silently knelt down and said, "Your servant did not take it."

Lin Zhenyun said: "You lowly servant girl, how dare you take Madam Cao's beloved thing!"

The old lady said, "Pearl, if you don't take it, don't take it. Don't be afraid of any threats."

Lin Qinghe smiled coldly, walked over slowly, and said, "Father, Erniang, any piece of pearl jewelry is more precious than Mrs. Cao's gold hairpin. Mrs. Cao herself said that her gold hairpin itself is not worth the price. It is valuable, and what is most valuable is the friendship Cao Fu Yin has for her, so Pearl has no reason to steal this gold hairpin at all."

As she spoke, she glanced at the second lady with some deep meaning. That cold smile seemed to tell the second lady that the plan to kill two birds with one stone was good, but unfortunately, it failed.

Xia Pozi said: "Who would dislike having too many jewelry?"

Lin Qinghe raised her phoenix eyes and said, "Masters are talking, why are you interrupting? Is this how Erniang taught you all the time?"

Mrs. Xia hurriedly didn't dare to say anything. She knew Lin Qinghe's methods, and she didn't dare to provoke anyone she provoked.

The second lady said: "Anyway, the golden hairpin was found from Pearl's room, so she cannot get rid of it."
