Chapter 17: Jiang Lanqian is a thief
Jiang Baohe saw the Nanzhu pendant on Zhu's ear in the afterglow, and suddenly as if he had grasped some life-saving straw, he had a flash of inspiration and said hurriedly,
"The Nanzhu pendant last time was not stolen by Aunt Ming!"
"It was Jiang Ruofu who stole it!"
Wen Guqi frowned when he heard this.
Jiang Baohe saw Wen Guqi's reaction, and felt proud,
You can't afford to be the only one who suffers! Be sure to put Jiang Ruofu into the water!
Jiang Boqi stood still,
"What?"
Jiang Baohe said urgently,
"Last time, it was the seventh sister who stole the Nanzhu pendant, but Aunt Ming took the blame for the seventh sister and said that she stole it herself, in fact, it was the seventh sister who stole it!"
Jiang Boqi looked at Wen Guqi, what the seventh daughter had just said made him a little impressed.
Unexpectedly, it was she who stole something?
The descendants of the Jiang family hate people with poor virtues the most, if there are such children with unclean hands and feet in his family, and the descendants know about it, I am afraid that they will have a worse impression of him, how can they use the connections of the descendants to take the position in the future?
Zhu stood up at this time and added fuel and vinegar
"Master, although the Ming clan shielded the seventh girl, it is a sure fact that the pendant was found in the seventh girl's room!"
Zhu pretended to be heartbroken,
"That pendant was indeed stolen by the Seventh Girl."
Zhu pretended not to care and touched the Nanzhu earrings next to her ears, this was her back hand, and it was the situation in front of her.
In order to remind the old man, she also specially put the pair of pendants out of the door.
Jiang Boqi asked in a deep voice,
"Did you steal the pendant?"
Wen Guqi looked at Zhu, squinted his eyes, and said nonchalantly,
"Dare to ask Madame, are the earrings you are talking about this one on your ears?"
Zhu covered half of his face with a handkerchief and pretended to choke, looking distressed, but he didn't forget to expose the pendant, so that Jiang Boqi could see it clearly.
Wen Guqi walked towards Zhu and reached out to touch Zhu's earlobe.
Zhu was shocked,
"What do you do!"
Some cool fingertips crossed Zhu's earlobe, and she couldn't help but tremble.
Wen Guqi's face was contemptuous and he smiled,
"Madame, borrow your pendant."
Wen Guqi took the earring, and in front of everyone in the hall, he reached out and held the smooth and jade Nanzhu.
A bad feeling welled up in Zhu's heart.
Sure enough, when Wen Guqi let go again, the pendant turned into powder!
Little by little, it fell between Wen Guqi's fingers.
And Wen Guqi watched indifferently as the Nanzhu was crushed into powder and disappeared with the wind.
"The real Nanzhu has a hard texture and will never turn into powder when twisted like this."
"I really don't know, where did the eldest lady see that this is Vice Nanzhu?"
Wen Guqi's tone was light, and he couldn't hear a trace of emotion. But for no reason to make people feel his contempt.
Everyone in the hall was stunned.
This pair of Nanzhu pendants, but Mrs. Zuo Fengling's wife wore it, and after envying it in every way, she spent 5,000 taels to buy the exact same.
Everyone says it's the best!
How... It turned out to be a fake!
Even Zhu himself was stunned, and his face turned green all of a sudden.
This Nanzhu pendant... It turned out to be a fake......
She spent 5,000 taels!
Zhu only felt that she couldn't stand on her feet, and Jiang Baohe hurriedly supported her.
Looking at the powder in the hall,
Jiang Boqi's expression changed suddenly.
If it weren't for Zhu's words, he was afraid that going out would be far from the clothes of the ladies and making people look down on Jiang Fu, and he would not agree to her buying a pair of earrings worth 5,000 taels.
After all, the monthly allowance in the house is only 1,000 taels.
She actually deceived him with a pair of fake earrings!
Zhu's mind was dazed all of a sudden, she didn't know what to say, her mind was full of Wen Guqi's bare hands crushing the Nanzhu.
Her Nanzhu, which was worth a thousand gold, turned to ashes like this.
The ash was still a little left on the wooden floor, and Zhu Shi stared at the ash like that, and the whole person was stunned.
Wen Guqi put the white fungus hook on the table,
"Big lady, if you want to slander, you also need to find some tangible evidence, since I can easily distinguish the authenticity of your earrings, I will not still think of stealing your fake beads made of stone powder, after all, the rumors are golden, please keep your mouth shut. Don't make a joke out of nowhere. ”
Wen Guqi exited the front hall directly, not caring about the next thing.
Everyone was also shocked, they all watched all this in amazement, their brains couldn't turn around, and no one noticed that Wen Guqi left.
Wen Guqi only felt ridiculous about this situation.
Sure enough, those who are driven by power will faint when they hear about the gold and silver of power.
Jiang Boqi completely ignored whether Wen Guqi's behavior was right or wrong, and turned his head to blame the person who had lost his power and wealth.
And after Zhu knew that the Nanzhu pendant was fake, he also lost his soul and was in a trance.
Zhu's eyes were confused and unfocused, and Zhu's hands couldn't help but tremble.
Her Nam-joo...
It's broken, it's broken.
Angry at Shang Jiang Boqi's face,
She couldn't help but give up her legs and feet, and she fell to the ground.
And the second lady Jiang Lanqian, who was hanging high and had nothing to do with herself, was wearing a dark green long skirt with a beautiful complexion.
She just stood indifferently in the hall, her eyes slowly moving to the fragments of the place, her eyes slightly stunned.
————
When Wen Guqi returned to Qinghui Garden, Xiaoyu and Jiang Huaiyin had already finished eating.
After everything was cleaned up, Wen Guqi lay on the bed covered with a quilt, pillowed one hand under his neck, and looked at Xiao Ran who was full of room by the faint moonlight, and for some reason, he thought of Jiang Ruofu again.
Her tearful eyes suddenly appeared in front of her.
"I'm in the house, the most important thing is to swallow my anger, only in this way can I live."
Wen Guqi opened his eyes suddenly, and the light in his eyes was exceptionally clear in the dim night.
The more he thought about it, the more disturbed he felt,
What's the use of swallowing your anger?
In the face of the family members who will harm her from time to time, she blindly tolerates it, which will only provoke intensified targeting.
She doesn't cause trouble, but trouble will come and provoke people. It's not that you can't swallow your anger and try your best to hide in the tunnel.
His clear eyes, in the darkness of the night, gradually dyed with an indefatigable emotion, flickered and danced like firelight, and became more and more inventible in the hazy moonlight.
————
Chen's Palace.
Jiang Ruofu sat in the courtyard, quietly looking at the books, there were many books in Wen Guqi's study, whether it was the Four Books and the Five Classics or the History of Barnyard Officials.
Only my father and eldest brother can enter the study room in Jiangfu.
When she was in Jiangfu, she didn't have the opportunity to read.
Song Juan felt that his family was too quiet these days, and when he was from the front, there was always a heavy sense of alienation.
What's wrong?
Song scroll looked even more leaky, and asked cautiously,
"Master, you've been watching for two hours, it's not good for your eyes to look at it for too long, so it's better to rest."
When Jiang Ruofu heard this, he obediently closed the book,
"Okay."
I'm still not used to it.
If he usually spoke like this, Shizi would only glance up at him coldly, and then continue to look.
I don't change my mind just because he says a word.
Jiang Ruofu put down the book and entered the house, and the song scroll hurriedly followed,
"Master, why don't you pass the meal, it's almost time now."
Jiang Ruofu responded with kindness,
"Okay."
Before Jiang Ruofu sat down, a delicate voice came into the room,
"Cousin!"
Jiang Ruofu turned his head, and the song scroll was busy saluting respectfully,
"Miss Lu."
Jiang Ruofu frowned slightly, but he didn't make any other appearances,
"Looking for me urgently?"
Lu Danruo was dressed in red, and her hair was also hairpinned with red jade, and the two sides were set off, making her eyes and teeth brighter and brighter.
Jiang Ruofu was still holding the scroll in her hand, and looked at Lu Danruo blankly, and Lu Danruo stepped forward to snatch the book in her hand.
"Cousin, what book are you reading?"
Jiang Ruofu subconsciously took a step back and moved the book back a little.
Lu Danruo pouted dissatisfiedly,
"Cousin."
Jiang Ruofu looked at the song scroll, she really didn't know how to get along with Lu Danruo.
Song Juan saw Jiang Ruofu's eyes, stepped forward and said,
"Miss Lu, our son still has something to do today, if you are not in a hurry, do you see if it is ......?"
Lu Danruo let go of the hand that grabbed Jiang Ruofu's sleeve, looked at the song scroll, and said unhappily,
"Can't I come to my cousin?"
Song scroll busy,
"Not impossible."
"It's just..."
Jiang Ruofu took the words of the scroll,
"I do have something to do today, if my cousin has nothing important, let's go back first."
When Lu Danruo heard this, his face changed,
"Cousin, you used to call me Danruo!"
Jiang Ruofu didn't know what Wen Guqi called Lu Danruo, and when he heard Lu Danruo point it out, he only felt that he had missed the filling, and he couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat for a while.
Before Jiang Ruofu could think of an explanation, Lu Danruo said aggrievedly,
"My cousin is estranged from Dan Ruo in his heart?"
"Could it be that the Queen Mother gave her cousin a concubine, and my cousin has been tired of Danruo since then?"
Lu Danruo looked up at Jiang Ruofu with big watery eyes.
Jiang Ruofu avoided Lu Danruo's eyes, and was looked at by her like this, Jiang Ruofu was really a little weak-hearted.
For some reason, Jiang Ruofu suddenly remembered what Wen Guqi said when she and Wen Guqi exchanged for the third time, when he exchanged information with her with a flat face,
"If Lu Dan is the daughter of my mother's friend, she is more daring, if she confesses her heart, you refuse, just remember not to hurt her."
Jiang Ruofu asked more at that time,
"The prince doesn't like this Miss Lu?"
Wen Guqi's hand holding the cup stopped, and he was silent for a moment before he said,
"I won't marry her."
His eyes were dark, and he added in a low voice,
"If there are no accidents."
He drank the tea from his cup.
Jiang Ruofu looked at him at that time and guessed that Wen Guqi didn't dislike Lu Danruo, but he didn't take Lu Danruo as his candidate for marriage.
But if the situation changed, he probably wouldn't mind marrying her.
Lu Danruo, for Wen Guqi, can be said to be a very special person.
Not real relatives, not real lovers.
But it's the one he cares about.
Lu Danruo looked at Jiang Ruofu, and seeing that Jiang Ruofu ignored her, Lu Danruo only muttered,
"Originally, I wanted to go with my cousin today to choose the flower paper for the flower festival, but now, it seems that my cousin will not accompany me, usually accompanied by my cousin, this time, I will go by myself, maybe my cousin will not accompany me in the future."
When Jiang Ruofu heard this, he hurriedly said,
"I'll go with you."
If the prince comes back and finds that his relationship with Lu Danruo has become estranged, he will definitely not like it.
Since the prince usually accompanies Miss Lu to go, in order not to show his stuffing, it is better to go.
lest more flaws be revealed.
Jiang Ruofu put down the scroll,
"Okay."
Lu Danruo turned from sadness to joy and laughed.
It had just rained, and there were fewer people coming and going on the long street.
The sky was a cloud of smoke, blue as a wash, the green tiles were soaked, and the eaves were still slowly condensing water droplets, and then falling high.
Jiang Lanqian and the maid she carried with her walked on the street,
The maid said softly,
"Miss, now that Mrs. and Miss Fourth have been punished and grounded for reflection, God really helps us, you have to seize the opportunity."
Jiang Lan stroked the hand on her wrist, her eyes were gentle,
"What's the use of the eldest lady and the fourth sister falling? It's a pity that the other two sisters have aunts to help them plan their plans, but I have nothing, how can I fight with them? ”
"Although I have a heart, I am afraid that I will not have this fate."
The maid hurriedly comforted,
"Miss, compared to them, you are the most beautiful one among the sisters in Jiangfu, and you are more stable than them, why can't you win?"
Jiang Lanqian just smiled and didn't speak again, her eyes were still gentle.
A man dressed in black rushed out of the alley with a large bag in his hand.
There are also screams and shouts in the back,
"Don't run!"
"Stop!"
"Catch the thief!"
The thief knocked Jiang Lanqian down violently, and the maid hurriedly helped,
"Miss!"
That burden smashed into Jiang Lanqian's arms all of a sudden.
Jiang Lan subconsciously hugged the burden.
And when the chasing person arrived, he saw Jiang Lanqian holding the burden, and shouted loudly,
"The thief who stole the baggage is here!"
Before Jiang Lanqian could react, he was caught.
The maid stepped forward to pick up the men,
"What are you doing!"
"My young lady is an official lady! You dare to be disrespectful to my young lady, you have good fruit to eat! ”
The fierce man at the head snatched the burden away.
With a meaty face and a fierce expression, he took a sip fiercely,
"Whew!"
"What bullshit Miss Official? Everyone has stolen money, and they don't know what to do! ”
"Don't talk so much nonsense with this"
"Pull her to the official!"
The maid hurriedly pulled away the people,
"Go away! Don't touch our miss! ”
It's a pity that she can't pull it away.
Jiang Lanqian gritted her teeth, and the big men around her surrounded her, and she desperately kept her distance from them.
A slightly low, dark voice remembered,
"Caught?"
The leader of the big man looked over.
A man dressed in black walked out of the crowd with a folding fan, his face handsome, but his eyebrows were a little gloomy.
The face is pale and bloodless, and he is born with a yin owl.
The big man at the head was busy,
"Childe, the thief has been caught!"
He pointed at Jiang Lanqian,
"That's her!"
Jiang Lanqian was pointed out and subconsciously shrank back.
And the man in black raised his folding fan, and didn't look at Jiang Lanqian, and said leisurely,
"Then tie it up."
