Ten Miles of Red Makeup: The Legend of Ming Yu

Chapter 38
When the coachman said this, the eyes of everyone changed when they saw Mingji. In the past, Mingji didn't like to talk, and naturally she went out less often. Now she has recovered, but no one knows what kind of temper she is. Eating buns on the street is really not like a lady from a big family.

The body is not afraid of the shadow slanting, and the concubine is not afraid of being questioned by everyone, but Su is angry, "Is it suspected that the concubine stole it?!"

The second wife laughed, "What is the sister-in-law so angry about? The coachman just told the truth, and no one said anything. If you are sure that there is no one, let someone search it and prove your innocence, and then shut up the person's mouth." isn't it?"

No one said anything, but everything was written on his face!
The second wife said so, if she didn't let people search her, she would be guilty of guilt, Ming concubine glanced at the second wife, opened her arms, and said calmly, "Search first."

Don't you want to search, let you search thoroughly!
The old lady frowned, and said, "What's the point of making a fuss at the gate?!"

Ming concubine smiled and said, "Why are you afraid of rumors about things I haven't done?"

After finishing speaking, she looked at the servant girl Tortoise beside the old lady and said, "Come and search."

After being called, the tortoise shell glanced at the old lady. The old lady relaxed her frown and nodded slightly.

Only now did Tortoise come to Ming Concubine's side. After searching for Ming Concubine in public, Sou Xi'er then shook his head and said, "No."

"I don't have it on me, I still have a carriage," Ming said with a smile before anyone could say anything.

The servant girl over there has already searched the carriage, and there are not many things that Ming concubine has, only a bundle. The servant girl took out the bundle, opened it in public, flipped through it twice, and then gasped.

The white jade bracelet is really in her clothes!

Seeing Xi'er, she said anxiously, "I put the clothes in my bag, I have never touched Miss Wu's jewelry box!"

It doesn't matter whether you have touched it or not, you found it in your luggage, and even if you have ten mouths to say that you haven't touched it, no one will believe it. This is someone trying to punish her on purpose. What about helping each other?

Ming concubine recalled the day when she came back, she asked Dingbeihou's mansion how it was, and if she needed a Zhaidou, the servant girl asked her blankly, "Girl, what is a Zhaidou?"

"Zhai Dou is the inner house where you tear me up and I bite you."

In the end, Xi'er replied to her, "No house fighting, ladies are not allowed to fight, if the old lady finds out, she will be fined to kneel in the Buddhist hall."

Ming concubine struggled to explain what house fighting was. After Xi'er understood, she gave her a reassuring look, and said, "The Hou's mansion is very harmonious, unlike other mansions that are calculating. The wives love girls, and the girls are very friendly." Easy to get along with."

She was relieved.

Now, the facts tell her that the maid's words are not credible at all.

Xi'er said that she had never touched Wei Mingyi's jewelry box. Before the evidence of the crime was proven, no one would believe her. The way she looked at Ming's concubine changed, and the second wife looked at the old lady.

The old lady's face was ashen, obviously very angry, Wei Mingyi said, "Big sister, if you like my white jade bracelet, just tell me directly, I will not refuse to give it to you, why do you..."

Ming concubine raised her hand and interrupted her. Before she admitted that she stole the white jade bracelet, she put the hat on her forehead. Sorry, she was afraid of being heavy and couldn't afford it. If I find it in the bag, will it prove that the servant girl and I stole it? Who saw it?"

Wei Mingyi was annoyed, "There were only three of us sitting in the carriage, could it be that I stuffed it in and framed you?!"

That's not necessarily the case, since the white jade bracelet appeared in her baggage, someone must have tampered with it.

Ming concubine looked at the coachman, "Are you sure no one got into the carriage except me?"

The coachman nodded.

"Did you leave during this period?" Ming concubine asked again.

The coachman replied, "I've been away for a while, but the wives and girls' things are in the carriage, and the carriage soft sedan is never separated from people."

Even if he left, there were still other coachmen watching.

The other coachmen said that they hadn't seen anyone passing by, and it seemed that it was not easy to clear up their grievances. She came back to avenge Wei Ming, not to be wronged.

Ming concubine went to the bag and picked up the jade bracelet. She saw a little bit of black powder on her skirt with sharp eyes. She blinked and wanted to reach out to grab it, but finally took it back and sniffed lightly.

Seeing this, Mrs. Su said, "My dear, what are you doing?"

Ming concubine straightened her waist, hooked her lips and said, "Mother, this jade bracelet smells like sesame cakes."

She stretched out her white, boneless hands that were as tender as green onions. Under the sun, her skin was as creamy as fat. The smile on her face was dazzling, making people feel strange.

She stretched out her hand to be verified that there was no sesame scent on her hand, and Xi'er also stretched out her hand in a hurry.

Su Shi looked at the old lady, and the old lady let the tortoise testify.

The tortoise shell took the white jade bracelet, smelled it, then sniffed the hands of Ming concubine and Xi'er, and said, "Old lady, the white jade bracelet has a scent of sesame seeds, but the elder girl and Xi'er don't have it."

Ming concubine hooked her earphones and broke her hair, smiling as elegantly as a chrysanthemum, "Fifth sister loves to be clean, I don't believe that her jade bracelet will have sesame cakes stuck to it, and I don't believe that the maids will be so sloppy. Xi'er and I didn't eat sesame cakes. Naturally, there is no sesame fragrance on the jade bracelet, so where does the sesame fragrance on the white jade bracelet come from?"

"It must belong to that thief!" Wei Mingqi said.

Su Shi said, "Let me smell them one by one, and see who has the fragrance of sesame seeds in their hands!"

The second wife glanced secretly at the servant girl, her eyes were a little flustered, the second wife's eyes flickered, the servant girl grabbed the hand of a servant girl beside her and said, "We ate some pastries."

There are quite a few maids eating cakes, three or four.

It might not be easy to ask whoever is going to do it from among them.

Moreover, she saw the eye contact between the second wife and the maid, so it was self-evident who did the poison.

The servant girl is just doing things according to the order, she will not hold on to a servant girl, Ming concubine took the white jade bracelet from the tortoise shell, and said with a smile, "This white jade bracelet is really destined for me, it was stuffed into my bag, Fifth Sister He also said that I like it, so I gave it to me, how could I not like such a translucent mutton fat jade bracelet, thank you Fifth Sister for your generosity."

As he said, he wiped off the sesame fragrance from the jade bracelet with a handkerchief, and put it on Hao's wrist, the more he looked at it, the more he liked it.

Wei Mingyi's eyes were red, and she regretted pretending to be generous and said that. She bit her lip and said, "My mother gave it to me..."

Ming concubine patted the sleeve of the cloud and said with a smile, "Fifth sister is reluctant?"

Of course she couldn’t bear it. If she could, she wouldn’t have said that. Wei Mingyi didn’t say anything. If she couldn’t bear it, why pretend to be generous? Zhimaxiang, everyone complained of injustice, and there was no evidence of absence. If I were not smart today, the charge of stealing might not be taken off. I was slandered for nothing, and none of my brothers and sisters believed me. Yes, I really can't bear this tone, and I don't take advantage of others, within three days, find out who framed it, and I will return this jade bracelet as it is."

"Then what if you can't find it?" Xie Wanhua asked.

Ming concubine wiped the tip of her nose with a handkerchief, and said casually, "Of course it will be mine."

Wei Mingqi said, "This is too unfair to Fifth Sister..."
