Lin Xizhi pinched the edge of the table tightly, took two deep breaths, and soon calmed down.

"Sister Fang is right, it's my sister who is reckless." Lin Xizhi's eyes were cold, obviously angry.

Luo Xinfang looked at Pei'er who looked nervous again, and asked, "After the jade pendant was found, what was the reaction of that Miss Zhou?" ”

Pei'er thought for a while and replied: "Listening to the waiter, Miss Zhou seemed to be quite surprised at the time, as if she didn't expect this jade pendant to be found in the Phi Xiang Palace. ”

"Heh, the devil knows if she's pretending." Lin Xizhi snorted coldly.

Luo Xinfang raised his eyes and glanced in the direction outside the hall, and ordered: "You two go down first, guard at the door, and don't let others in." ”

"Yes." As if they had been pardoned, Mei'er and Pe'er withdrew.

Luo Xinfang frowned slightly, and said softly: "This thing is a little strange. ”

Lin Xizhi said angrily: "Of course it's strange, how could Xiao Man take her things?" ”

Luo Xinfang shook his head, "No. This jade pendant is a dead thing, it can't be that the jade pendant gave birth to wings and flew into the Phixiang Hall from the Flying Palace, right? Besides, the Flying Hall doesn't seem to be close to the Phi Xiang Palace. ”

"What does Sister Fang mean by this?" Lin Xizhi looked at Luo Xinfang suspiciously.

Luo Xinfang's slender jade fingers lightly clicked on the table and said: "Do you think, Miss Zhou only made a fuss at dinner time, she has to dress up during the day, if the jade pendant is gone at that time, she must have found it a long time ago." So this jade pendant was at least thrown away after the primary election, that is, in the afternoon. ”

Lin Xizhi nodded, noncommittal.

"When we are not in the residence, there are palace maids guarding the door, just to prevent the loss of the personal belongings of the show girls. So I don't think it's possible for Miss Zhou to frame Xiaoman. ”

"After all, Miss Zhou and Xiao Man have nothing to do with each other, if they lose something and guard the door, the palace maid is also jointly and severally responsible, how can the palace maid easily let someone she has never seen enter the Phi Xiang Palace?"

"In the same way, it is impossible for anyone other than Miss Zhou or Wang Lingyi to enter the Flying Palace, so Miss Zhou will think that Wang Lingyi took her things."

Lin Xizhi couldn't help but say loudly: "But the thing was indeed searched from the Phixiang Palace?" ”

Luo Xinfang lowered his eyes and said in a deep voice: "This is the strange place. But there's another possibility. ”

"What is possible?" Lin Xizhi sat up straight.

"Maybe the jade pendant was not lost in the Flying Hall at all, but outside the hall." Luo Xinfang gently stroked the edge of the table.

Lin Xizhi suddenly realized, "You mean ......"

Luo Xinfang bowed her head and said: "Yes, it may be that Miss Zhou took the jade pendant out during the day, or this jade pendant was lost outside in some other way, and when Miss Zhou returned to her residence to change her clothes, she found that the jade pendant was missing." ”

"Hmph, it's like that brainless person can do it." Lin Xizhi pursed her lips, "But how did this jade pendant run into the Phi Xiang Palace?" I also searched out from Little Manna......"

Luo Xinfang glanced at Lin Xizhi with a little meaning, and did not answer her words.

Lin Xizhi was stunned for a moment, and after reacting, her face was full of anger.

Regardless of whether the jade pendant was stolen or picked up, it was indeed found in the Phi Xiang Hall in the end.

Luo Xinfang had already said that this jade pendant must have been brought into the Phixiang Palace, and this can only be done by those who live in the Phixiang Palace.

And this jade pendant was so easily searched for by Shen Man, if she really took it, how could she not hide it? ?

Besides, Lin Xizhi knows Shen Man, and Shen Man will definitely not be the kind of person who is shallow-eyed.

Therefore, it could only be the person who lived with Shen Man who brought the jade pendant into the Phi Xiang Palace, and put it in Shen Man's package with the intention of framing her.

Lin Xizhi pinched her knuckles white.

Shen Lin.

Why would she do it?

Shen Man is her own sister!

Luo Xinfang saw that Lin Xizhi had fully understood at this time before she spoke: "Sister Zhi'er, don't be angry, in the end, all this is just my guess, and I can't tell it right now." ”

"Sister Fang is right. So I'll check it out myself tomorrow. The corners of Lin Xizhi's mouth pulled into a sneer.

Luo Xinfang asked, "How does Sister Zhi'er plan to verify?" ”

"Tomorrow, I'll personally ask Zhou Xin to see if she has taken that jade pendant out." Lin Xizhi rubbed her aching knuckles.

Luo Xinfang thought about it, and there was only this way at the moment.

If the jade pendant was really lost by Zhou Xin outside the Flying Palace, then her speculation just now would be eight or nine.

"It's just that Sister Xiaoman is suffering, this time it's such a trouble, I'm afraid that Sister Xiaoman will miss the palace election."

"Sister Fang, my sister won't hide it from you. In fact, at the beginning of the fight, I didn't plan to let Xiao Man enter the palace. The smile on Lin Xizhi's face was a little bitter.

Luo Xinfang also understood Lin Xizhi's intentions.

How could a temperament like Shen Man be able to adapt to the court life with open guns and hidden arrows.

Before she could answer, Lin Xizhi said sarcastically: "I originally planned to ask my aunt to make a move, so that Xiao Man would lose the election directly in the palace." It's just that I never expected that someone would jump off the wall in a hurry. ”

Luo Xinfang lowered his eyes and was silent.

The show girls who participated in the election were dressed up, but there were very few who were selected. For those who are not selected, giving flowers out of the palace will not have any impact on their future marriage. But the show girl who committed an accident and was kicked out of the palace during the election period is different.

Not only will the family see it as a shame, but the rumors in this Youzhou city are enough to ruin their lives. After all, there are countless families in this Youzhou city, whose son is willing to marry a young lady who can cause trouble when she is in the palace to be elected?

Even if Shen Man loses the election, he must not be in this way.

Luo Xinfang was thinking about it, Lin Xizhi had already stood up and said, "It's curfew time, Sister Fang should also rest, there will be busy tomorrow." ”

Luo Xinfang looked at the sky outside the hall that had completely darkened, and went to freshen up as he said.

Nothing was said all night.

Early the next morning, Shen Man's figure disappeared silently in the crowd of teaching.

Why did the woman named Shen Man leave, and the show girls knew it. All were very unanimous in their choice of silence. In the past few days, many people have been sent out of the palace one after another, and all they can do is to be cautious and cautious, so as not to repeat the mistakes of their predecessors.

When teaching, Lin Xizhi kept staring at Zhou Xin closely, and as soon as the teaching was over, she saw the opportunity to follow Zhou Xin.

Luo Xinfang was not at ease, so she also went with Lin Xizhi.

The two of them followed Zhou Xin not far away, and when they arrived at a corner of the corridor, after Zhou Xin's figure turned over, the two were about to follow, but they faintly heard Wei Qingshuang's voice.

"Why are you here?" Wei Qingshuang seemed to be very dissatisfied.

"Sister Wei has wronged me, I came over as soon as the teaching was over, and I didn't dare to delay for a moment." Zhou Xin explained with a bitter face.

In fact, Wei Qingshuang had just arrived, and this move was just picking on Zhou Xin's thorn because of his bad mood.

Wei Qingshuang snorted coldly and said, "Really? Who knows if you've disobeyed my confession? Otherwise, how could you mess up even such a simple thing? ”

The two people who eavesdropped on the corner were stunned when they heard this.

"Sister Wei, you really can't blame me for this! When I returned to the Flying Hall that night, I found that the jade pendant was missing, and it was clear that the jade pendant was still there during the day...... There are two people living in the Flying Palace, me and her, who took it if she didn't take it? Later, how did the jade pendant run to the Phi Xiang Palace, I really don't know? Zhou Xin explained anxiously.

"What do I care where the jade pendant went? Isn't it true that you've done something bad? Wei Qingshuang glanced at Zhou Xin coldly.

Zhou Xin looked at Wei Qingshuang's eyes and shrunk his neck.

Wei Qing said with disdain: "I spent so much money to deal with those eunuchs in the Shangyi Bureau, so that you can live with that slut, and that's how you did things for me?" Now that you've made such a big move, where will you have a chance to start in the future? ”

Zhou Xin hurriedly said: "Sister Wei, don't worry, I'm ...... I'll figure it out in a few days. ”

Wei Qingshuang sneered and said, "No need. Fools don't deserve a second chance. After that, he flicked his sleeves and walked away.

Zhou Xin looked at Wei Qingshuang's departing back, his face was like ashes.

She smashed Wei Qingshuang's confession to her, and when she returned home, she didn't know how her mother was going to reprimand her.

Luo Xinfang and Lin Xizhi, who were on the other side of the corridor, glanced at each other.

Wang Lingyi lives with Zhou Xin, and it is really a ghost made by Wei Qingshuang.

Yes, how could there be such a coincidence in the world, Zhou Xin is Wei Qingshuang's little follower, Wei Qingshuang saw that Wang Lingyi was not pleasing to the eye, and Zhou Xin, the daughter of a third-grade master, lived with Wang Lingyi without picking when choosing a palace room.

Lin Xizhi squeezed Luo Xinfang's hand and pulled her out of the corridor.

When the two of them walked away, Luo Xinfang asked suspiciously: "Sister Zhi'er doesn't plan to go to Miss Zhou to ask for clarification?" ”

Lin Xizhi smiled sarcastically and said, "What else is there to ask now." Zhou Xin said that she only found out that the jade pendant was missing that night. Now it doesn't matter how this jade pendant was lost. ”

Luo Xinfang was noncommittal.

The important thing is that Zhou Xin's jade pendant appeared in the Phi Xiang Palace, Shen Man's package.

Lin Xizhi looked in the direction of the Phi Xiang Palace, and there was no emotion on her face.

"Sister Fang, let's go back and rest first, my sister still has some things to do."

Luo Xinfang nodded knowingly, and did not go to the Phi Xiang Hall with Lin Xizhi.

The next thing should be regarded as Lin Xizhi's family matter, and it is inconvenient for her to participate.

Lin Xizhi had already walked away, Luo Xinfang looked up at the bright sky, and decided to walk around and go back.

Chuxiu Palace is a palace specially repaired for the draft, even if it is not as magnificent as the palace where those favored ladies live, the scenery is also unique.

The style of Chuxiu Palace is mainly comfortable, supplemented by delicacy, so most of the palace rooms do not have any particularly gorgeous furnishings, but there are many flowers, birds, forests and stones. Sitting in the pavilion and smelling the fresh air and listening to the melodious birdsong can make people forget about mundane affairs for a short time and steal half a day of leisure.

Now is a good time for a hundred flowers to bloom, Luo Xinfang sits in the pavilion, the breeze blows, and the warm breeze is full of the fragrance of flowers and earth.

It would be nice if we could keep doing it that way.

But things don't always go your way.
