Chapter 24 Reaping the Consequences
Yu Xuanji went to the toilet first, and sure enough, she didn't see Baoxing, and looked for it along the way, but she heard Baoying's voice, raised her eyebrows, jumped onto a big tree, and looked at the two people not far away, with a sarcastic smile on her lips.
"Persying, what is this?" Baoxing looked around and saw that no one was coming, so he asked suspiciously.
Bao Ying smiled mysteriously and said, "I don't know this? Jade pendant! ”
"I know it's a jade pendant, I mean, whose jade pendant it is." Bao Xing was full of doubts, looking at Bao Ying with blank eyes, wanting to wait for her to solve her doubts.
Bao Ying thought for a while and said, "This is the princess's jade pendant, you can put it in the fourth lady's dressing box." ”
"yes, I see." A gleam flashed in Baoxing's eyes, nodded and left in a hurry.
Seeing this, Bao Ying also walked towards the main hall.
Yu Xuanji fluttered down, sneered, and followed Baoxing's footsteps, and when she saw her walking towards her room, a cold light flashed in her eyes.
Yu Xuanji went up to the roof, uncovered the tiles and saw Bao Ying put the jade pendant next to her bed, and then left cautiously.
Yu Xuanji flew in from the window, took the jade pendant in her hand and left quickly.
"Miss!" When Baoyue saw Yu Xuanji, her eyes lit up, and she quickly walked over, "Just now Baorong asked where Miss was going, and the slave replied to her according to what Miss said. ”
"You're doing a great job." Yu Xuanji smiled faintly and said, "Let's go out." ”
"Yes." Bao Yue bowed her head and followed behind Yu Xuanji.
The two returned to their original positions, and not too many people noticed.
Yu Xinya saw Yu Xuanji coming back, glanced at Bao Ying, and smiled proudly when she saw Bao Ying nodding.
Chu Wanwan sat in her seat, accepting everyone's praise, and she looked as arrogant as she looked.
"Princess, not long ago, the emperor rewarded you with a piece of jade pendant, I heard that the jade pendant is made of Hetian jade, which is very precious, and I also heard that there are only two jade pendants of this material, but is it true?" Yu Xinya's eyes flashed with strong interest, and she asked with great interest.
When everyone heard this, they also looked at Chu Wanwan.
Chu Wanwan's vanity was greatly satisfied: "Naturally, my father loves me the most, since you like it, this princess will show you!" As he spoke, he reached out and touched his waist, and the smile on his face froze.
"Who stole Princess Ben's jade pendant!" Chu Wanwan roared, and her little face turned red with anger.
Yu Xuanji looked at Yu Xinya, but saw that she was looking at herself meaningfully, and sneered in her heart for a while.
Baoyue always felt that something was wrong, looked at Yu Xuanji, and suppressed the uneasiness in her heart when she saw her calm face, at this time, Baoxing walked over, touched Baoyue, and asked what was wrong, Baoyue said simply, a trace of unknown light flashed in Baoxing's eyes, which made Baoyue even more confused, and wanted to ask something, but saw Chu Wanwan looking towards him, and instantly lowered his head.
"What the hell is going on? Old lady, this princess's jade pendant was lost on your birthday, maybe someone stole it, you are responsible for finding it back for this princess! Chu Wanwan was not polite at all, and there was a threat in his eyes.
"This ......" Zhang frowned slightly, his face was a little unhappy because of Chu Wanwan's words, but he still asked good-naturedly, "But the princess forgot to bring it today?" ”
"Impossible!" The maid beside Chu Wanwan immediately refuted Zhang's words, "This morning, the slave maid brought it to the princess with her own hands, not to mention, the princess played with it in the garden just now, and it must have been stolen by someone!" The little maid said angrily.
The ladies were more or less destined to be in their bodies, but they were reprimanded so by a maid, and suddenly there was annoyance in their eyes.
However, Chu Wanwan didn't say anything because of the maid's rudeness, on the contrary, she gave her maid an appreciative look, and the maid suddenly became proud.
Seeing this, Yu Xinya sighed and said, "Princess, it's not what we want to see when the jade pendant is dropped, maybe someone picked it up and didn't return it in time." As he spoke, he looked at Zhang and said slowly, "Grandmother, why don't you go to the front and ask, maybe one of the guests picked it up and handed it to Daddy, but Daddy hasn't had time to return it." ”
"Ya'er has a point." Zhang nodded, and instructed Mei'er beside him, "You go and ask the master, but who has picked up the princess's jade pendant." ”
"Yes, old lady!" Mei'er saluted and left quickly.
Soon, Mei'er came back with a bad face, followed by a large group of people, Yu Zhiyuan walked a few steps quickly, saluted the Zhang family, and asked, "Mother, what's going on?" ”
"Lord Yu, you came just in time, this princess's jade pendant is gone, someone must have stolen it, this princess's jade pendant is rare in the world!" Chu Wanwan said sarcastically, "You must get this princess back!" ”
"The princess laughed, how could anyone steal the princess's jade pendant." As he spoke, he glanced at everyone, "If the princess doesn't believe it, then search for it!" ”
Although everyone was reluctant, they also understood that this was the only way to prove their innocence.
Yu Xinya pretended to think and said, "I don't know when the princess lost the jade pendant, maybe it was hidden somewhere......"
"It's not right for the eldest lady to say that." Mrs. Li glanced at Yu Xinya disapprovingly, "We are all together, but no one has left alone." ”
"It's just ......"
The crowd hurriedly chimed in.
Yu Xinya smiled and didn't speak, and Chu Wanwan on the side immediately rushed to Yu Xuanji and scolded angrily: "It's not you!" Didn't you steal this princess's jade pendant! ”
"Xuanji, is that you?" Yu Zhiyuan also straightened his face and said coldly.
Yu Xuanji smiled indifferently and blessed her body: "Princess, although I said that I left halfway, but it was also because I went to change my clothes and did not take away the princess's jade pendant, not to mention, I have always been with Mrs. Li, and I have a certain distance from the princess, how could I take the princess's jade pendant?" ”
Chu Wanwan frowned slightly, remembering the position of herself and Yu Xuanji, and sure enough, as she said, she suddenly lost her voice.
"Princess, anyway, the General's Mansion is so big, it's a big deal to search everywhere, and you will definitely be able to find the jade pendant!" The little maid hurriedly said.
Chu Wanwan nodded and looked at everyone coldly: "Search!" ”
The female dependents had no choice but to go into the inner room, and Chu Wanwan and the maid searched everyone's bodies.
Yu Xuanji walked up to Yu Xinya's side and pretended to be worried: "Big sister, who did you say took the princess's jade pendant, and it is really ...... that this kind of thing happened on grandmother's birthday."
As he spoke, he sighed deeply.
A hint of mockery flashed in Yu Xinya's eyes, but she followed Yu Xuanji's words and said, "How do I know, let's wait for the princess to search for her." ”
"That's what Big Sister said." Yu Xinya bowed her head, taking advantage of everyone's inattention, her right hand was slightly released, and the jade pendant fell into Yu Xinya's purse, and then took a few steps back and disappeared in the crowd.
Naturally, the people who searched went out first, and as time passed, there were fewer and fewer people.
"The old lady and the lady don't have to be searched." Chu Wanwan said lightly, "I believe in the old lady and the lady. ”
Zhang's face softened a little, and he nodded: "Thank you, princess." ”
Chu Wanwan looked at the last two and pointed at Yu Xuanji: "Come here!" ”
Yu Xuanji came as she said, opened her hands, and let the maid grope around on her, but no matter how carefully the maid searched, she was immediately deflated.
"Princess, naturally I won't take the princess's jade pendant." Yu Xinya said with a smile and walked over slowly, "That jade pendant is only worthy of a princess." ”
Yu Xinya's words made Chu Wanwan feel very comfortable, and nodded: "You can speak, but I can't let you go because of this, Xiaocao, search it!" ”
Xiaocao got the order and searched carefully, but Yu Xinya still had a smile on her face, and she was not afraid of Xiaocao's search at all.
"Princess, no." Xiaocao frowned and looked at Chu Wanwan, her eyes full of anxiety.
Chu Wanwan frowned slightly and walked out.
"Princess, have you found it?" Yu Zhiyuan asked slowly with a smile on his face.
Chu Wanwan didn't answer, and when she was about to send someone to search the General's Mansion, the corner of her eye saw the sachet on Yu Xinya's waist, her eyes lit up, and she said loudly: "Take out your sachet!" ”
Yu Xinya paused, a trace of doubt flashed in her eyes, but she still untied the sachet on her waist and said slowly: "Princess, it's just a sachet that usually calms the nerves, and it's just dried petals." ”
"Where did all this nonsense come from!" Xiaocao snatched the sachet and shook the sachet, and the petals inside fell off.
"Boom!" , everyone was stunned.
"Princess, Jade Pendant!" Xiaocao was overjoyed and quickly handed the jade pendant back to Chu Wanwan.
Yu Xinya's face turned pale in an instant, how could this be? No, it shouldn't be like this, thinking, he quickly looked at Bao Ying, and was surprised to see her, knowing that there must be something wrong with her.
Yu Xuanji smiled and looked at Yu Xinya, she wanted to see how Yu Xinya should explain!
Chu Wanwan rushed to Yu Xinya and hit her in the face with a "snap": "Slut! ”
Ning Wan'er came back to her senses at this time, and hurriedly pulled Yu Xinya behind her back: "Princess, Ya'er would not do such a thing, someone must have framed her!" ”
In the crowd, Xuanyuan Hao took in Yu Xuanji's expression, and a playful smile appeared on his lips.
Yu Xuanji felt the gaze behind her, and suddenly saw that it was Xuanyuan Hao, frowned, and turned around.
"Framed? Hehe, Mrs. Yu, are you a fool to be the princess? Chu Wanwan said sneeringly, "When I was going to search my body, she said that it was possible to be hidden, but she didn't want this princess to search her body, because the jade pendant was stolen by her!" ”
Chu Wanwan's brain was not stupid, and he quickly found the key.
Everyone looked at Yu Xinya's gaze and changed again and again.
"Seventh sister, Ya...... The eldest lady would not do such a thing. Chu Hongze couldn't see that someone insulted Yu Xinya, so he hurriedly said out loud.
With tears in her eyes, Yu Xinya glanced at Chu Hongze gratefully, which suddenly made Chu Hongze rise with pride in her heart, straightened her chest, and told her with her eyes that she was there, don't be afraid.
Chu Wanwan glanced at Chu Hongze coldly, and said sarcastically: "Chu Hongze, you just fell in love with Yu Xinya's beauty, how do you know that she didn't steal, what evidence do you have?" ”
Chu Wanwan had always looked down on Chu Hongze, and didn't want to say more to him, so she stared at Yu Zhiyuan and asked, "Lord Yu, this father-in-law wants to take Yu Xinya away!" ”
"Daddy, don't!" Chu Wanwan's methods are notoriously powerful, and at this moment, Yu Xinya was completely scared, and hurriedly grabbed Yu Zhiyuan's sleeve and shook her head vigorously.
Chu Hongze's face turned red when Chu Wanwan said, and he was about to refute, but he was pulled by Bai Yang's sleeves, and then looked at Yu Xuanji, Chu Hongze could only be silent.
