The old lady was silent for a while, then waved her hand and asked someone to bring Bihua over.

This time it took a long time.

It was a long time before someone came to help Bihua, who was pale and difficult to walk.

"The slave maid has seen the old lady, the eldest lady, and Aunt Yang."

The old lady looked at her like she was about to die, and her brows furrowed fiercely: "Your injury is not healed yet, do you still need someone to help you?" ”

The old lady who came with Bihua was the old lady's confidant, and said: "Old lady, it is indeed a real injury, and the doctor just said that this wound cannot be moved." ”

At this time, Jing Ning's voice interjected.

"Since Bihua is injured, how did she get to your grandmother's yard?"

The old lady's eyes were cold, and she looked at Xia He, who suddenly turned pale: "Impossible, when I bumped into her that day, she was fine, how could it become so serious in one day?" ”

Bihua sneered: "Xia He, I know you don't like me, you are the person given to the eldest lady by Aunt Yang, and you have never been valued by the eldest lady in the past, and I am the personal maid of the young lady, I don't blame you for your long-standing grievances, but I didn't expect you to frame me!" ”

“......”

"Not to mention that I am injured now and can't move at all, how did I get to the old lady's yard, just say that I live in the lower room, if I go out in the middle of the night, someone will definitely see it, and all the subordinates know that I have not left the room for half a step since I was injured!"

Xia He stayed where he was.

She had only one thought in her mind, how could this be?

He clearly remembered that she walked out of Aunt Yang's yard last night, and on the way back, she accidentally bumped into a person, who shouted that the hairpin that the eldest lady had rewarded him had fallen.

She recognized that person was Bihua, and she was pretending to help her find it, but in fact she hid the hairpin herself.

The hairpin was very exquisite, which made her ecstatic, and she only thought that she had seen a great bargain, and as for the excellent quality, she only attributed it to the fact that it was a reward from the eldest lady, which was naturally a good thing.

However, overnight, the hairpin became something that the old lady had lost, and Bihua, who was still alive and well last night, turned out to be so weak and unable to move today.

So who I met that day, was it all my own hallucination?

"Old lady, we also found this in Xia He's room, you see."

The old lady's henchman, Mama Lin, handed the bracelet she searched to the old lady, the bracelet was clear and transparent, the color was natural and bright, and it could be knocked out at a glance It was a top grade.

Seeing the bracelet, Yang's gaze moved.

But soon she calmed down and suppressed the horror in her heart.

What if you find out?

In order not to leave any hidden dangers, the things she rewarded were not the things used by the Prime Minister's Mansion herself, but the gold, silver and jewelry she brought from her distant mother's home.

has not been branded with the Prime Minister's Mansion, and has never appeared on his own hands, how can he suspect his own head?

Thinking like this, she calmly picked up the teacup and took a sip, before the corners of her lips could raise a sneer.

The old lady who was looking at the jade bracelet suddenly smashed the jade bracelet in her hand towards the Yang family.

After all, he was old and his strength was unstable, and the bracelet only smashed on Yang's clothes, and it didn't cause much damage, but even so, Yang's hands shook in fright, and the whole cup of tea was poured on himself.

When the bracelet hit the ground with a bang, it was surprisingly not broken.

Yang's face changed slightly, and he said with trembling lips: "Mother, what are you doing here?" ”

"Do what?" The old lady's breath was a little unstable, but at this moment, she still sneered: "Aunt Yang, look at the bracelet printed, but your Aunt Yang's mark?" ”

Yang was stunned for a moment, then stepped forward to pick up the table and inspect it carefully.

This look immediately made her face pale.

On the inner wall of the jade bracelet, a Yang character can be faintly seen.

The gold and silver jewelry in the Prime Minister's Mansion, except for the things in the warehouse, the gold and silver jewelry of the owners of the other major courtyards are not recorded in the account books, but almost every thing in the courtyard will have its own mark.

This is a measure adopted by Jing Ning's biological mother when she was alive to prevent things from being lost or stolen, so that she can quickly distinguish the things of each master and recover her property accurately.

After Jing Ning's mother died, it has continued to this day.

And this word "Yang" represents Yang's.

What's going on, I obviously haven't touched the jewelry of my Prime Minister's Mansion, and the ones I use are all privately hidden, and those are things that have never been marked, how can they ......

How could this happen?

"Mother, this, the daughter-in-law doesn't know what's going on......"

Yang's heart turned sharply, but his face was in a hurry.

Regardless of what is going on with him, the top priority is to maintain his image in front of the old lady and gain the trust of the old lady.

"You don't know?" The old lady sneered and pointed to Xia He, who was kneeling and was already stunned: "You said you don't know, but this maid was given to Jing Ning by you, and there is your jade bracelet in this maid's room, I only ask you one thing, what is the relationship between you and the maid, do you know about today's events?" ”

Yang's heart sank.

She was thinking about how to speak, when she saw Jing Ning coming over.

Jing Ning took the old lady's hand and took the jade bracelet in Yang's hand, her fingers were very cold, so that Yang's hand couldn't help but shrink.

She played with the jade bracelet in her hand, squinting her eyes.

"It's indeed my aunt's mark, and this won't be fake, but whether this is given to this maid by my aunt remains to be discussed."

The old lady was losing her temper at the Yang family, and she couldn't help but be surprised by her granddaughter, who had just changed her outlook recently, but she came to gamble on her words again, and her eyes couldn't help but sink, "Oh, what does Jing Ning think?" ”

Jing Ning smiled, "I think that this maid is bold enough to come and steal your things from grandmother, who knows if she will not be able to go back to the masters in other courtyards?" Maybe this bracelet was not given to her by her aunt, but she stole it from her aunt? ”

"Auntie, are you right?"

As she spoke, she looked back at Yang with a hint of concern in her eyes.

Yang breathed a sigh of relief, and an expression of shock and disappointment appeared on his face.

"This ...... The daughter-in-law looked at Xia He very smart, but she never thought that she was unclean hands and feet, I don't usually use jewelry, I'm afraid that this girl seized the opportunity to steal my jewelry, but I haven't found out for so long! ”

"Aunt Yang, you ......"

Xia He looked at Aunt Yang's appearance, how could she not understand that she had been given up, and her heart suddenly cooled.

"In this way, it really happened to Xia He." Jing Ning sighed, and there was some unbearability in his eyes: "Since this is the case, then follow your punishment grandmother, it's just ......"

Her voice paused, and her tone was filled with regret.
