Chapter 242: The Scapegoat
Just when everyone was bored waiting for Aunt Shuang'er to search, they suddenly heard a sharp voice sound: "Okay, it turns out that you are here, but you should tell my aunt what is this?"
Everyone was startled by this voice, and hurriedly looked at Aunt Shuang'er, only to hear her voice was flat with a bit of sharpness, which frightened everyone, and when everyone present looked at Aunt Shuang'er, they saw a piece of bright red blood-colored peony lying in her hand, clear and dripping, and an exclamation suddenly sounded.
"Is this the blood jade that the emperor gave to the queen's mother? It's really amazing, and it deserves the words 'priceless'!"
"Wow, it's so beautiful, I can see a priceless blood jade in this life, I'm afraid that some ordinary jade pendants will be difficult to enter my eyes in the future." ”
"No wonder the queen is so precious, if this were me, I would be so precious, no, maybe more precious than the queen mother, if others want to see it, they won't give it a look. What this young lady said confirmed that the queen attaches great importance to this treasure, and on the other hand, it also shows that the emperor attaches great importance to the queen's mother.
Everyone was looking at the blood jade, but the eyes of Mu Wanru, Queen Mother and others fell on another person, that person was none other than Xiaolan, at this time, her face was pale, her eyes were full of incredulity, as if she had not recovered from what happened suddenly.
But this Princess Ningyue was also a violent temper, and without saying a word, she immediately stepped forward and slapped Xiaolan in the face hard, and said sharply: "Okay! I finally found you, the jade thief!" Five fingerprints suddenly appeared on Xiaolan's face after being beaten, and Xiaolan only felt a hot pain spread on her face.
This slap woke Xiaolan up, and even more so that those who cared about appreciating the blood jade diverted their attention...
"The slave is wronged! The queen's mother, Aunt Shuang'er, and the slave are really wronged. Xiaolan knelt on the ground in horror, kept kowtowing, until now, she still didn't understand what was going on, that piece of blood jade, obviously it should be on the third lady's body, why... Will it be found out of her?!
Mu Wan was also shocked when she was like this, now she didn't have the heart to think about why the jade pendant was on Xiaolan's body, for some reason, she had a bad premonition in her heart. She always felt that this good show had changed, and Mu Yueli, who was only willing to do so, had become so terrible at this time. And this thing seemed to be out of her control, making her a little overwhelmed, and her hands couldn't stop trembling slightly. She was really afraid that the queen would suspect him.
"Do you still dare to say that you are wronged? You dare to call it wronged, you cheap hooves still dare to call it wronged, can we all be blind!" Princess Ning Yue snorted coldly, and another piece of blame was added to Xiaolan's body, "Which family are you? You dare to be so bold and dare to steal the blood jade of the princess's mother, I don't think you want to live!"
Mu Wanru was shocked, and was worried in her heart, this Xiaolan, don't talk nonsense, if the queen is disappointed in her, she won't let her go, very hum, her younger brother and they won't be safe, as long as she doesn't bother her!
Xiaolan heard that she couldn't live, and her heart became even more flustered, but there was one thing she clearly understood, if she said that she was the maid of the third miss, she would definitely involve the third miss together, even if she couldn't kill her, she would be charged with a crime of poor discipline, which also achieved the goal of framing the third miss, but this Xiaolan hesitated, what she thought was that Mu Yueli had no weight in speaking in front of these people, and with Princess Ningyue's cruel nature, she would eventually be unable to escape death.
No, she can't die! At this time, who can save her? Miss! Yes, it's Miss, at this time, only Miss Miss! Doesn't it mean that Miss Eldest is deeply liked by the queen, isn't it? Also, he also knows the relationship between Miss Wan and Concubine Wan...
"Miss, please save the slave and the maid, save the slave and the maid! The blood jade was not stolen by the slave and the maid, no... Xiaolan seemed to grasp the last straw, looked at Mu Wanru, and begged bitterly.
Suddenly, everyone's attention was attracted to Xiaolan's body, and then everyone followed Xiaolan's gaze to see Mu Wanru with a miserable face.
Princess Ning Yue raised her eyebrows, looked at Mu Wanru and said, "It turned out to be your maid!", she knew that the people in their Zuo Xiangfu were not good people, and it was possible to eat you if they were in a hurry. But Nanningyue also saw that the queen mother liked the eldest lady of Zuo Xiangfu very much, and I heard that this Mu Wanru also knew how to be a person very well on weekdays, and she was even more flattering to her, but she didn't expect her to be such a maid!
The queen looked at this little girl and looked at Mu Wanru, and she was also disappointed and unhappy with her, and she didn't seem to expect this result. In this Mu Wanru, she really wasted her feelings in vain, how much she spoiled her, but this person has all the stolen goods, this maid steals blood jade, if this is not the master's instructions, who will believe it. Would you believe it if it were you?
"Minister. . . Courtiers... Mu Wanru panicked suddenly, this is what she is afraid of, the last thing she wants to see, the queen mother is still disappointed in her, the good impression she has finally saved up during this time is gone in an instant, it is all that Xiaolan, she is so disproportionate! At this time, she still has to be involved! If he has the life to go back, he will definitely not let go of this Xiaolan, as well as his family.
Mu Wanru thought about it, but he didn't think of a good way, he found that Aunt Shuang'er was approaching him, and then he was shouting in his heart: No, no! She can't be dragged into the water by Xiaolan no matter what! No one knows better than her how this jade pendant came about, she subconsciously glanced at Concubine Wan, but Concubine Wan ignored her, she thought that if Xiaolan continued to talk nonsense, then it would definitely cause her a big disaster, and her life was not taken by the queen, I am afraid that it would also hinder Concubine Wan's eyes!
In the end, Mu Wanru weighed the pros and cons, was ruthless in her heart, made a quick decision, and walked towards Xiaolan quickly, in order not to be implicated, she had to be ruthless! Xiaolan, don't blame me for being ruthless, I can't help it, now only if you die, I can protect myself. Don't worry, I promise you, my family will be treated well, now you can block Miss Ben first!
