By the afternoon, most of the guests had already left, and the official birthday banquet was after the evening.

The Mo family no longer continued to receive guests from outside, and the people left in the banquet hall were all immediate family members of the Mo family, or relatives and friends who were very close to each other in terms of social status.

"Grandpa Mo, I haven't been able to interject before, this is a gift from our Ji family for you. Ji Mengran was at the table and took out a refined antique box in his hand.

When she said this, she deliberately glanced at Ji Nuan's side.

Ji Nuan noticed her gaze and didn't do anything to reflect.

The relatives on the table saw that someone had opened this head again, and for a while all kinds of special and elaborate gifts were put on the table one by one, this time it was no longer casually stacked on those gift racks, but they all took the initiative to open it and show it to the old man as if they were offering treasures.

Ji Mengran saw that the time was almost up, as if inadvertently, he suddenly spoke: "Sister, why haven't I seen your birthday gift all the time? Take it out and show it to Grandpa Mo! I dare to believe that your birthday gift will be very special!"

As she spoke, she squeezed her eyes at Ji Nuan, smiling, as if innocent.

"It's really special, after all, it's not easy to get. Ji Nuan took out the square rosewood gift box that couldn't tell what it was containing, and put it on the table.

As soon as she saw the size of the gift box, which was the same size as the chessboard that Ji Mengran had given her before, Ji Mengran had a look of excitement in her eyes.

When Ji Hongwen saw the box that Ji Nuan took out, his brows furrowed imperceptibly.

"Grandpa, this is a surprise for you, I am sure you will like it. Ji Nuan put the gift box in front of Old Man Mo and smiled very sincerely.

Old Man Mo was smiling, and before he could speak, Ji Mengran suddenly stared at the rosewood gift box, and said with a shocked face: "No, sister, this is the birthday gift you want to give to Grandpa Mo?"

Ji Nuan was calm: "What?"

Ji Mengran still had a shocked face: "Look at the size of this gift box, what are you holding here...... Could it be our family's chessboard of the early Tang Dynasty? Dad lost a beloved antique a few days ago, but I didn't expect it to be secretly taken away by you! Sister, I know you want to please Grandpa Mo, but you can't steal Dad's most cherished antique to borrow flowers and offer Buddha!"

Ji Hongwen almost couldn't sit still at this moment: "My little daughter is open-mouthed, Mo Lao, don't be surprised, Nuan Nuan will never do this kind of thing, as for this jade chessboard, ......"

Shen Heru suddenly opened his mouth on the side: "I just said that a few days ago, I felt that something seemed to be missing something on the antique shelf in your study, but I didn't expect that Ji Nuan secretly took this thing away." ”

Saying that, Shen Heru shook his head and sighed again: "Although Nuan Nuan wants to give good things to Mo Lao, this original intention is good, but after all, it is also the daughter who marries out, which is equivalent to the water that is spilled, and when she returns to her parents' house, she directly takes away such a valuable private collection of antiques without saying hello, although this is not stealing, but it is indeed unruly." ”

"You don't have to say a few words!" Ji Hongwen didn't get angry directly because of the presence of the Mo family, but kicked Shen Heru hard under the table and warned her not to talk nonsense.

Shen Heru didn't say anything more, but his eyes looked at Ji Nuan as if he was nothing.

I don't believe that Ji Nuan is now full of human and material evidence, what else can she do to clear herself, after all, this mother's family and her mother-in-law's family, no one on either side can prove her innocence, although this matter is not big but not small, in the eyes of the two families, Ji Nuan is definitely useless to say that her tongue is rotten.

Ji Nuan still smiled indifferently: "What chessboard? Mengran and Aunt Shen, why didn't I understand a word of what they said?"

What an unexpected bonus.

This matter was not only done by Ji Mengran alone, she said how could the chessboard be taken out, it seemed that Shen Heru helped her behind her back.

It's really a seamless show, if it is Ji Nuan in the previous life, he is defenseless against Ji Mengran, I am afraid that he is really going to be wronged to death now.

Even if this kind of thing is suppressed by Mo Laokou and rounded the scene for her, the scolding behind this is indispensable, and she will be sneered at by relatives and friends for the rest of her life.

"Sister, don't pretend to be stupid, this chessboard is in it, you can't take back the gift that has been sent to Grandpa Mo now. Ji Mengran's tone was raised.

Ji Nuan glanced at her, and there was a sneer in her eyes that was not easy to be noticed: "Mengran, why is what you said today strange?"

"Sister, I'm for your own good, don't pretend, you steal this jade chessboard from the early Tang Dynasty and give it to Grandpa Mo, even if Dad doesn't care about you now, but this chessboard can't be used as a birthday gift at all!" Ji Mengran sighed as he spoke: "This chessboard is the collection of a eunuch who troubled the court in the early Tang Dynasty, and the eunuch was later sentenced to death by Ling Chi for rebellion. Even if it is indeed a very expensive antique worth collecting, this kind of thing must not be used as a birthday gift!"

Ji Mengran's voice became lower and lower, as if he didn't mean to say this, but his voice was just right enough for everyone at the table to hear clearly: "Send this kind of thing, sister, what kind of intentions do you have......

"Mengran!" Ji Hongwen went from being shocked just now to originally planning to admit his mistake like this, but he didn't expect Ji Mengran to say this kind of thing, and he suddenly wanted to slap her to death.

Ji Mengran had said everything now, and he couldn't take it back, so he simply looked at Ji Nuan with a fearless face, but he didn't see any surprise, panic or even fear on Ji Nuan's face.

She finally found an opportunity that made Ji Nuan unable to continue to gain a foothold in the Mo family, and she couldn't miss it like this.

All the relatives and friends sitting there had different eyes, but because Old Man Mo had a cold face and didn't speak, no one dared to slander at will, but this kind of thing, even if the old man had the heart to protect Ji Nuan, he was afraid that he wouldn't be able to protect it now......, right? Unreasonable!

Mo Jingshen always sat on one side with an indifferent expression, and only when this scene was almost played, did he sneer coldly.

Ji Mengran saw that Mo Jingshen didn't immediately say anything to defend Ji Nuan, and it is estimated that he also felt that Ji Nuan had gone too far in this matter, and then said: "Brother Jingshen, I didn't mean to say this kind of thing on this occasion, but compared to my sister's face, Grandpa Mo's body is more important, and the meaning of sending this kind of thing is really bad, so I ......"

Mo Jingshen smiled shallowly under his eyes, and he didn't look at Ji Mengran, but calmly and calmly looked at the rosewood gift box that had never been opened in front of Old Man Mo.

His tone was low and lazy, unhurried: "I'm curious about what I said, why don't I open it directly and see what kind of special antique it is, which can make Miss Ji Er, who is not learned and unskilled, so familiar with the ins and outs of the future as if she is memorizing a history text." ”
