Chapter 123: Swept Away
The maids looked at each other for a while, but they didn't dare to speak. When everyone saw this, there was nothing they didn't understand.
Old Madam Zou's face became more and more gloomy, and she said, "Yao'er, didn't you say that you just came to find something?" Why did you end up searching your cousin's yard? ”
"Grandmother, I, I ......" Zhang Jiayao was speechless.
Seeing that her daughter was so aggrieved, Xiao Shufen hurriedly stepped forward and said, "Mother, you don't know Yao'er's temper, or she is easy to be impulsive and likes to talk about her energy, but her heart is not bad. This time, it must be like this because of a momentary temper. You just forgive her this time, I'll let her make amends to Ran Yatou. ”
Hearing this, Old Lady Zou's face softened a little, she squinted at Zhang Jiayao and said, "Since this is the case, then I won't pursue you this time." But you should apologize to your cousin for smashing so many things in your cousin's house, and if she forgives you, then this is the end of the day. ”
Apologize to Xiao Yiran? Zhang Jiayao was reluctant in her heart: "I, I...... But I haven't gotten my bracelet back yet, so why should I apologize to her first? ”
Old Lady Zou's expression turned cold, and Xiao Yixian, who was on the side, saw this, and hurriedly pulled Zhang Jiayao and said, "Cousin Yao, you see, we have broken so many things in the third sister's house, we should really apologize to her first." As for the bracelet, I will call a maid to look for it here in a while, and if I really can't find it, I will give you my coral bracelet. ”
"How's that going to work?" Zhang Jiayao frowned, and was about to say goodbye, but when she saw Xiao Yixian's meaningful gaze, she suddenly understood in her heart: Yes! Just pretend to apologize to Na Xiao Yiran first, and stabilize Mrs. Zou, what about them? When her people have searched the house, she must double the amount of money to get it back!
Thinking of this, Zhang Jiayao felt a little better in her heart, and she straightened her expression and said, "Yes, I'm sorry!" As soon as she finished speaking, she turned her head to the side, making no secret of her reluctance.
Xiao Shufen hurriedly smiled: "Look, isn't this good?" They are all sisters in the family, and everyone should be in harmony. Do you say, but girl? She looked at Xiao Yiran with a kind smile.
Xiao Yiran glanced at her and lowered his head.
This cold attitude couldn't help but make Xiao Shufen's smile stiffen, and a trace of shame flashed in her eyes.
Old Mrs. Zou said, "Ran girl, since your cousin Yao has already apologized to you, don't blame her anymore." Then she turned to Zhang Jiayao and said, "Aren't you looking for a bracelet?" Let's look for it now, but we can't search the hospital like we did before. ”
Hearing this, Zhang Jiayao was overjoyed: "Yes." She immediately ordered Lu Qiao beside her: "You go and look for it." After speaking, she turned her head to look at Xiao Yiran and said, "Cousin Ran, you don't object, right?" ”
Xiao Yiran said lightly: "Of course." ”
It's all at this point, is it useful for her to object again? Mrs. Zou's words just now were ostensibly to mediate the conflict, but when did you take her thoughts into account? Thinking of this, the corners of Xiao Yiran's lips were stained with a faint sneer.
After receiving the order, Lu Qiao first secretly glanced at Zhang Jiayao, and under the hint of the other party, he hurriedly looked around, and after a while, he found the bracelet from the jewelry box.
"Miss!" Lu Qiao brought the bracelet to Zhang Jiayao.
Zhang Jiayao suppressed the ecstasy in her heart, and deliberately said with a straight face: "Cousin Ran, didn't you say that you have never seen this bracelet?" How could she be in your jewelry box now? ”
Old Lady Zou also looked at Xiao Yiran with a strange expression.
Xiao Yijing sneered on the side: "What else can it be? The things are all in the jewelry box, she must have hidden them on purpose! ”
"Ran girl, what's going on? Did you really hide your cousin's bracelet on purpose? Old Lady Zou said in a deep voice.
Zhang Jiayao said: "Cousin Ran, even if you complain that my mother and I didn't give you a coral bracelet, you don't have to hide me secretly!" If you really like it, just tell me and I'll give it to you. ”
Xiao Shufen's eyes rolled and she also said, "Yo! Ran girl, what Yao'er said is, if you really want it, just open your mouth. Now like this, aren't you going to be ......" She didn't say the last word, but everyone knew what she meant.
Xiao Yiran was jealous that everyone else had a coral bracelet but he didn't, so he stole Zhang Jiayao's.
Under everyone's weird and disdainful eyes, Xiao Yiran's face was as usual: "I didn't steal the coral bracelet. ”
"And how did this coral bracelet end up in your jewelry box?" Zhang Jiayao asked.
"This coral bracelet was given to me by my cousin."
Xiao Yishu? Zhang Jiayao turned her head and looked at Xiao Yixian for some reason. How could she give the coral bracelet to Xiao Yiran? Besides, others don't know, but she knows clearly, she obviously asked people to put the bracelet in Xiao Yiran's jewelry box.
Wrong! The bracelet must be her own. This Xiao Yiran must have made an excuse in his hurry.
Thinking of this, Zhang Jiayao turned her gaze to Xiao Yiran again, raised her chin and said, "Cousin Ran, don't involve Cousin Shu!" I know my coral bracelet, this is mine! ”
"Oh? Could this bracelet be that Cousin Yao still marked it? Xiao Yiran couldn't help but look at her twice.
"Of course not, but I just recognize it!" Zhang Jiayao said.
"Well, I see." Xiao Yiran raised his eyebrows. It seems that she said that she recognized it just casually, and if the bracelet was really marked or something, then today's matter really ended badly.
"If you don't believe it, you can ask Cousin Shu to come over and confront you personally." Xiao Yiran said frankly.
Her fearless look made Zhang Jiayao's heart suddenly bottomless, and she looked at Sister Xiao Yixian with some hesitation. Xiao Yixian and the others were also a little confused, so they didn't know how to react.
Mrs. Zou on the side said, "Since this is the case, then call the girl over." She glanced at a grandmother beside her, and the grandmother immediately went to invite Xiao Yishu.
Zizhu Courtyard was not far from Tingyu Pavilion, so Xiao Yishu heard this and quickly rushed here.
"Grandmother." She saluted Mrs. Zou.
"Hmm." Mrs. Zou waved her hand indifferently and said straight to the point: "Your cousin said that you gave her the coral bracelet, is this true?" ”
Xiao Yishu hesitated for a moment and said, "Yes." ”
Xiao Yiran said: "Cousin Shu saw that I liked this coral bracelet, so she gave it to me on the way back." ”
Hearing this, Xiao Yishu glanced at Xiao Yiran with some gratitude. No matter how valuable this bracelet is, after all, it was given by Xiao Shufen, an elder, so it's really not good to give it away at will. If she said that the real reason was that the Liu family didn't like coral, and Mrs. Zou didn't like Sanfang in the first place, if she had an opinion about the Liu family because of this matter, it would be bad.
Now Xiao Yiran has taken all the responsibility on herself, how can she not be moved?
"How is that possible? You're lying! Zhang Jiayao shouted in disbelief.
Xiao Yiran turned his head to look at her and asked, "Cousin Yao, now that Cousin Shu has made things clear in person, what else is impossible?" Why are you so sure that we are lying? ”
"I, I'm ......" Zhang Jiayao gritted her teeth and said nothing. What does this make her, she can't directly admit that this bracelet is in Xiao Yiran's jewelry box by herself!
"And where's my bracelet?" She asked.
"I don't know about this, maybe it fell somewhere else." Xiao Yiran said.
"No way, I've searched everywhere else, and I haven't found anything at all!" As she spoke, she set her eyes on Lu Qiao, this bracelet she clearly told her, and let her secretly put it in the jewelry box while Xiao Yiran was changing clothes with her. Now that the situation has become like this, it can't be that this girl hasn't done a good job!
Seeing her looking at herself suspiciously, Lu Qiao panicked in her heart, and she looked at Zhang Jiayao with innocent eyes, indicating that she really put the bracelet in the jewelry box.
"Nowhere else, so it must be me?" Xiao Yiran's eyes turned cold.
"Me!" Zhang Jiayao choked and had nothing to say.
