Mrs. Xi nodded, "Yes, I didn't see the third lady of the Lan family go out alone at that time, and she always walked around with us." ”

Hearing this, everyone thought about it carefully, since the jade pendant was still on the body when drinking tea, it must have been lost when they went to the side courtyard or came here.

After waiting for a while, Xi Hongyi came back and shook his head with the Xi family, obviously not finding the jade pendant.

Everyone looked at the third lady of the Lan family, obviously a little sympathetic, if the queen mother blamed it...

The third lady of the Lan family also seemed to be in a hurry...

At this time, Lan Keying frowned slightly, her beautiful face was full of worry, and she thought for a while, "But what was wrong when you came here?" ”

"Miss Hui, no, we all walked with everyone, but we just stood with everyone for a while in the side courtyard." Lan Keyi, the third lady of the Lan family, said immediately.

At this time, Xi Hongyi said with a serious face, "The subordinates have carefully checked the place where everyone is standing in the courtyard just now, and they have not found the jade pendant." ”

At this time, I don't know who behind the crowd said loudly, "Could it be that everyone was standing together just now, and there are people with unclean hands and feet?" ”

As soon as these words came out, everyone immediately nodded, it is not impossible, other jade pendants are fine, but the jade pendant rewarded by the Queen Mother is definitely not comparable to the ordinary jade pendant, not only the jade color is superior, but the reward from the Queen Mother is even more different, but not anyone can get the royal reward casually, this is a special honor!

Because of this, it is not impossible for someone to covet and be jealous.

Mrs. Xi frowned, he was really not in a good mood at this time, don't think that he didn't know about the side courtyard just now, and he would lose the jade pendant at this time!

Unexpectedly, there were also calculating people in his mansion, this group of people, how the façade treated the Xi family, look at today, for what purpose, unscrupulous means, even the Xi family's birthday banquet was used.

However, at this time, he couldn't say that he didn't let people find out, if he didn't act, everyone would suspect that his Xi family was wrong.

Inevitably, people said that there were ghosts in his Xi family, and he didn't dare to ask people to find out, so he could only look at his son, "You figure it out." ”

Mrs. Xi's son, the current lord and wife of the Xi family are not very good-looking, these people will not stop!

is to say loudly, "Since this is the case, then I will ask everyone, can you let the people of the Xi family search your body on the spot?" ”

Everyone nodded one after another, they didn't do anything, so they were naturally not afraid of anything, they searched and searched, and everyone was also curious about whether they could really find a thief.

That is, the old man of the Xi family asked his personal guards to search for all the male guests.

Mrs. Xi asked the two female maids with her to search for ordinary female guests.

The two of them came with people to search, but they would not insult the people of the big families.

After a lap, nothing was found.

At this time, everyone looked at Master Taifu and Situ Qingyu, Duan Yihan, Xi Hongyi, Murong Chu and Xia Zining, who had not yet been searched.

Master Xi signaled to the people around him again, and the two of them searched with Situ Qingyu, Duan Yihan, and Murong Chu successively.

As for the people of the Xi family, including the lord and wife of the Xi family, Mrs. Xi, etc., in order to avoid suspicion, they asked another person of high moral standing to personally search for a body certificate.

Even the right minister and the old Ministry of Labor came to search for it in person, but they didn't see any results.

On the day of Mrs. Xi's birthday, he was searched like a thief, although it was necessary, in order to show his innocence, he was still in a mood that sank again and again, how could he be happy?

Although he didn't say anything, the look on his face was not disguised at all, and even a blind person could see it!

Everyone gasped in their hearts, this birthday banquet, it seems that Master Taifu is quite unhappy.
