Ace's favorite concubine: Xiangmen's concubine

Chapter 221: A Misunderstanding (5)

　After finishing speaking, she stretched out a pair of white and tender hands, and saw faint golden glitter powder in between her crystal nails.

　When everyone was wondering, Aunt Mei smiled and clapped her hands, and asked approvingly, "How did you find out that I tampered with the box?"

　"From the time I came into contact with beads." Pei Yuzhang continued to explain, "The box containing the beads is very heavy, but the beads are extremely light. Since it is used as a dowry for the young lady's wedding, it will never be bad. So, I It is determined that this is a fake Dongzhu! And the person who really stole the pearl only wanted to hide the thing and had no time to check the things inside, so this is your way, right?"

　The butler next to Aunt Mei's expression changed slightly, and he secretly put his hands into his sleeves.

　Pei Yuyan took his actions into consideration, and said, "This is not the first time the caravan has been stolen, right? Aunt Mei must have noticed it long ago, otherwise she wouldn't have taken such a risk."

　"That's right!" Aunt Mei finally put away her casual expression, looked awe-inspiring, got up and looked around at the people around her, showing the determination and sternness of a real businessman, and shouted in a deep voice, "It's you who stretched out your hands , or should I ask someone to chop them up and check them one by one?"

　After finishing speaking, Aunt Mei cast her gaze on the housekeeper and said coldly, "Housekeeper, since you are the first person to notice that the beads are missing, you should check and see who has dirty hands and feet!"

　The butler immediately stood up when he heard the words, turned his back and went to hold other people's hands.

　Hearing this, Pei Yuyan immediately stepped forward, grabbed the butler's hand hidden in his sleeve and shouted, "Wait!" Then he said to Aunt Mei, "Since everyone here is suspicious, why don't Aunt Mei check it out herself? ?”

　The housekeeper shivered unconsciously, and lowered his head, not daring to look at Pei Yuyan.

　Seeing his reaction like this, Aunt Mei suddenly came to her senses, she immediately made a look at the guard behind her, walked quickly to the butler, and lifted up his sleeves, there were indeed golden powder in the butler's nails .

　"It turned out to be you!" Aunt Mei asked loudly, heartbroken. She had doubted everyone, but she didn't count this confidant who had followed her for many years, "Why?"

　Seeing that he couldn't hide it any longer, the housekeeper turned around, took out a dagger from his pocket with lightning speed, put it on Aunt Mei's neck, and shouted to the surrounding guards, "Get out of the way! Otherwise I will Just die with her!"

　"You don't dare!" Pei Yuzhe was staggered by his push, and immediately stabilized his figure, staring at the dagger, "People who are greedy for money always cherish their lives, even if you don't care about your own life, what about your family? Do you think that no one knows better than yourself what the consequences of your death with Aunt Mei are?"

　The housekeeper's hand trembled, and the blade in his hand moved a little closer to Aunt Mei's neck, and Aunt Mei's neck was immediately scratched with light bloodstains.

　He gritted his teeth, and said anxiously to Aunt Mei, "It's fine if you don't hurt your life, but I want you to let me go!"

　Aunt Mei stared blankly at the housekeeper and asked, "Why? You have followed me through the wind and rain all these years, and I have always treated you well, especially when it comes to money. Why you?"

　The housekeeper said bitterly, "You didn't treat me badly, but you look down on me from the bottom of your heart! You would rather marry your daughter to a bookworm of unknown origin than marry your daughter to my son!"
