"In Xiao Wang's opinion, this matter is probably not that simple. If the eldest lady of your mansion really wants to steal the pendant, she should do it secretly and be careful. How could she let the maids around her carry so many gold coins?" Silver 'swaggering into the market'? Isn't that a contradiction."

As soon as these words came out, Lu Liu's face immediately showed a kind of bluish white that was almost panicked.

"That's...that's because the lady just ordered the servant to sell the pendant, and the servant...the servant hasn't had time to hide the silver."

"Oh..." Feng Yebei dragged his voice and asked in an unclear tone, "Then tell me where you bought that pendant? As far as this king knows, there is no pawn shop in this capital that dares to accept royal things. Except...the one with a pagoda tree in front of the alley?"

Lu Liu nodded without thinking about it, "That's right, the servant is the pendant that was pawned in that house."

"Bold servant girl, how dare you speak nonsense? The shop with a locust tree at the door is not a pawnshop at all, but a noodle shop. You still haven't bought it from the truth? Who ordered you to slander the eldest lady?"

When Feng Yebei slapped the table, not only Lu Liu was shocked, but even Liu's face changed slightly.I secretly blamed Luliu, this dead girl, for being so stupid that she was fooled by King Ye's few words!

The hall immediately fell into silence.The old lady was thinking about the conversation between Feng Yebei and Luliu just now, and felt that there must be something tricky in it.On the other hand, Shangguan Wenyong was secretly thinking that King Ye, who has always been ignorant of world affairs, would suddenly intervene in his family affairs, which seemed odd...

In the silence, Nanny An walked in.Walking in front of the old lady, I saluted, "Old lady, Ah Si in the kitchen found a strange box in the firewood pile, and found a coral pendant inside, do you want her to hand it in?"

"What did you say? A box? A coral pendant?"

The old lady was obviously taken aback.What's going on?Didn't you say it's already done?The maid named Luliu also kept saying that Hui'er ordered her to steal the pendant.Now it seems that things are clear.

"Call people in!"

The old lady who was still vacillating just now has a look of anger on her face.It was because she was so confused that for a moment she really believed what the evil maid said and misunderstood that Hui'er had stolen something.Someone dared to play such a trick under her nose.It seems that the backyard of the Prime Minister's Mansion really needs to be tidied up! ~

Nanny An turned and walked out, and brought back a girl around eighteen or nineteen years old within a moment.She is exactly what Nanny An said about Ah Si.

Ah Si is a low-level girl in the kitchen, and she has never been in the inner courtyard. Once she entered the inner hall, she was so disturbed that she couldn't even say a word when she looked at the distinguished figures.He just passed the wooden box in his hand forward, but he didn't know who it was for.

"Bring it here and show me!"

As soon as the old lady gave an order, Nanny An immediately took the wooden box and handed it to the old lady respectfully.Wenqin opened the wooden box and saw that it was indeed the coral pendant bestowed by the Holy Majesty.

So far, the truth has surfaced.Shangguanhui didn't steal anything at all, someone saw that the child had no mother to rely on, and took the opportunity to slander her in order to ruin her reputation!

"Humph!"

Wenqin put the wooden box heavily on the table, making a loud noise.A pair of sharp, cold eyes looked straight at Luliu, who was kneeling on the ground with her head bowed, her body already trembling.

Naturally, a little maid would not and would not dare to have such an idea of ​​slandering her master.I'm afraid that today's matter will be investigated from the person behind her instigation.
