Chapter 13: Questioning

Zhao Yuting sat in front of the kneeling mat with her back to the Buddha statue, the housekeeper and Cuicui stood on the left and right, and the three men stood behind Li's mother.

"Kneel down for Madame!" The butler snorted.

"I can kneel, but not the children!" Li Ma cut the railway.

"Yo Yo Yo ~ It's all this time, and you're still protecting them? What if this jade pendant was stolen by the two of them? The butler sneered.

"No~ not us! We are not thieves! Xiao Mo heard the housekeeper's words and gestured anxiously.

"Xiao Mo~ Mama Li believes in you! Mama Li knows that you didn't take it, you and your brother are good boys! Mama Li grabbed Xiao Mo's hand and said.

"Still acting here? You guys are acting like this! Cuicui looked at the scene in front of her with disdain.

"Okay, if the eldest young master and the second young lady don't kneel, they won't kneel~" Zhao Yuting said faintly.

"Madam~" Zhao Yuting raised her hand to interrupt what Cuicui wanted to say, and Cuicui had to give up.

"Hear me? Mrs. is kind-hearted and allows them to stand and reply, then Mama Li, you should hurry up! Mama Li didn't reply to the housekeeper's words, let go of Xiao Mo's hand, and slowly knelt down.

Xiao Shu watched Mama Li kneel down and clenched her fists hard. Although he can't hear it, after so many years, he can already understand the shape of other people's mouths.

If the person who speaks is not very fast, Xiao Shu can fully know what the other party is saying. And Li Ma and Xiao Mo didn't know about this, and Xiao Shu didn't tell them.

Because he once saw Xiao Mo tell Li's mother that it was good that he couldn't hear, so that he wouldn't have to suffer more.

He didn't want Mama Li and Xiao Mo to worry about him anymore, worried about how sad he would be if he understood those poignant words.

"Say it~ Mother Li, how can this jade pendant be there with you?" Zhao Yuting asked Mama Li, who was kneeling in front of her.

"Second lady, you have to believe us, we didn't take it, we didn't enter your house at all. We were all working on the lawn outside all day, and I don't know how this jade pendant was in our house. It's true! Second Lady. Mama Li looked at Zhao Yuting's attitude, and she didn't embarrass them, maybe because Yu Pei had been found, and Zhao Yuting just wanted to find out the truth of the matter.

"Hmph, the ghost believes you! Today, no one in our Furong Courtyard has been here except you. Mrs. saw that the weather was good today, and Miss also wanted to go out to play, so she asked Mother Zhang to take Miss to the garden around time. Madame took me to the street to buy some things, and Sister Xiaoqiu lay in bed all day to recuperate. Madame arranged for you, and you should be able to finish it before the time comes. But when Madame and I went back, you were still in the courtyard, and you were still flustered. You must have gone and found that no one in the yard could see your stealing. The door of Madame's room was open again, so she planned the time to steal the jade pendant before Mama Zhang came back with the young lady, and then continued to work, so that when Mama Zhang came back, she could see that you were working hard, which was really kind! When I left, I persuaded my wife to lock the door, after all, there were five big boxes in the house for the lady's birthday gift alone. But Madame reassured you, thinking that there would be no trouble in the courtyard when you watched it. I didn't expect you to live up to Madame's trust so much! To do such a dirty thing! "Cui Cui hair.

"Yes! That's right! Everyone was startled by the sudden voice, and they all looked curiously at the owner of the unfamiliar voice.

Zhao Yuting looked at Xiao Shu and had no doubts in her heart, but was overjoyed, she didn't expect this Li Ma to be calm, but this little slut recognized it so quickly.

"Humph! What do you think? Finally admit it, huh? The housekeeper didn't expect Sun Shu, who had been silent, to admit it, and sure enough, it was the same as his unpromising sister.

"I haven't finished my sentence yet, what are you anxious about?" Xiao Shu said calmly towards the housekeeper.

"You!" As soon as the housekeeper wanted to have a seizure, he heard Zhao Yuting say, "Steward Li, let him continue!" Zhao Yuting thought that Sun Shu would say what she wanted.

Xiao Shu continued: "We really didn't see anyone else when we were in Furong Courtyard today, it doesn't mean that no one else has been there before or after we left. And we don't know what Sister Xiaoqiu's injuries are, so it's impossible to know if she will appear in front of us, and we don't know when Mother Zhang and Mrs. Zhang will come back, how can you risk being caught at any time to steal the jade pendant? Besides, since this jade pendant is a birthday gift from my father to Chunyang's sister, it must be extremely valuable, and you must have received it very well, second lady. But if we come into your house to steal something, we will be tempted by the large gift box in front of us, so pick the right treasure and leave quickly. When stealing, people are nervous and sensitive, and they will solve the problem quickly when they find their target. So why would we leave the treasure in front of us and not take it, and spend time and trouble rummaging through this hard-to-find jade pendant? And we weren't stupid enough not to take the easily overlooked treasures in the box, but instead took this jade pendant that was easy to find and lose. Unless we knew of the existence of this jade pendant, knew that its value was extraordinary, and planned it in advance, we would not have stolen this jade pendant at all. However, with our current identity and ignorance, how can we know this jade pendant and its value? Besides, if it weren't for the Second Lady you summoning us, we wouldn't have had a chance to get close to the Hibiscus Garden! Even if we had a chance to get closer, we wouldn't have a chance to do it. So we have no reason or ability to steal this jade pendant at all! ”
