The next day, something big happened in Xie Fu.

Miss Xie Fu, because she frightened the second lady, was punished by Master Xie and grounded for one month.

The subordinates who walked quietly and hurriedly on weekdays for fear of touching the eldest lady's brow, were temporarily relieved, and the sound of laughing and laughing gradually increased.

Mrs. Xie, as the main lady of the family, wore a delicate golden begonia bead flower on her head, and walked towards the courtyard where Xie Ruan Chun lived with a dignified, elegant and generous demeanor. Just arrived at the gate of the hospital.

Syllable! A crisp sound of breaking something came from inside, followed by the woman's crying and begging for mercy. Mrs. Xie frowned, and saw that all the servants and subordinates who passed by here subconsciously lowered their heads and accelerated their paces and hurried over, and their brows furrowed even deeper.

With a wave of her hand, Mrs. Xie motioned to the little maid next to her to open the door lock in front of the courtyard gate.

With a soft creak, the two doors opened, and the scene in the courtyard was presented in Mrs. Xie's eyes without a trace.

The first thing that catches your eye is a piece of blue and white porcelain, and next to her kneeling is Xie Ruanchun's personal maid, her hair is messy, crying, and her face has scars cut by sharp weapons.

Xie Ruanchun grabbed the maid's bun with one hand and raised the whip with the other, as if he wanted to whip the maid, when he saw his mother coming, the originally angry look immediately turned into joy, cheered and greeted him, and said happily: "Mother, why are you here, has Daddy changed his mind, I can't help but be satisfied?" You're here to let me out, aren't you? I knew my father and mother were the best for me! As he spoke, he leaned on Mrs. Xie's shoulder as if she was coquettish.

"My mother originally wanted to intercede in front of your father for you, but seeing this scene, my mother couldn't say anything about pleading." Mrs. Xie said nonchalantly, after all, she was her daughter, and she didn't scold her as soon as she came.

"Mother, I'm your biological daughter, why don't you look at me!" Xie Ruanchun immediately said very unhappily when he heard this.

"As the eldest lady of Xie Mansion, you must be dignified and virtuous, gentle and generous, look at your current appearance, where do you have the appearance of a daughter! Let outsiders see what kind of system it has become! Knowing that Aunt Liu is pregnant, you have repeatedly deliberately provoked her. When you encounter something, it will only take people out of anger, you are so rude and willful, narrow-minded, you know that you will get into trouble, how can your mother rest assured to marry you out in the future! Seeing that Xie Ruanchun did not have the slightest intention of repentance, Mrs. Xie couldn't help but teach a lesson.

"Mother, why are you even here to teach me! I don't listen, I don't listen, you go, you go. Xie Ruanchun covered his ears angrily, turned around and shouted loudly.

"You, I don't know what to do." Mrs. Xie was also angry, waved her sleeves, and left in a huff.

Mrs. Xie thought of this unfortunate daughter, and was angry for a while, and when she was about to arrive in the front hall, she met the housekeeper of Xie Mansion who came to tell her that someone had come to Xie Mansion to propose marriage and ask to marry Xie Ruanchun, the eldest lady of Xie Mansion. Mrs. Xie was upset at this time, where did she have the heart to think about this, so she casually ordered two sentences, and asked the chief manager to refuse the other party.

Peaceful days always pass quickly, and a month passes in a flash.

Luo Qianyan has lived a peaceful life during this time, Aunt Liu is a kind-hearted woman, she treats her subordinates easily, and she feels guilty about treating Luo Tianyan because of the things of the past few days, and she treats Luo Tianyan as her own daughter, not letting her do her own work, staying by her side, not leaving an inch, and she is talking to Aunt Liu on weekdays, making fun of her.

It is a pity that when people sit at home, disaster comes from heaven.

No, Miss Xie, who had just lifted the lockdown, wanted to hold a flower-viewing banquet to celebrate her freedom, and on the grounds of insufficient manpower, she sent someone over to ask Luo Tianyan to help.

Aunt Liu didn't want Luo Tianyan to help, but the person who came to pass the word was Mrs. Xie's personal maid, and it was not good to refuse on the spot, so she was very embarrassed.

Luo Tianyan didn't care in her heart, and when she saw that Aunt Liu was embarrassed, she simply stood up and expressed her willingness to help. The messenger immediately pulled Luo Qianyan and left, so that Aunt Liu didn't have time to say a word more.

The flower viewing banquet is naturally set up in the flower hall directly opposite the garden, and it is indeed very busy at this time when people come and go, cleaning, placing tables and chairs, and placing melons and fruits. Luo Qianyan looked around, but did not see Xie Ruanchun's shadow, he breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, and followed everyone to get busy.

Shao leaning, a group of giggling laughter came in, Luo Qianyan raised his eyes and saw that Xie Ruanchun walked in with a group of young girls with colorful clothes and different appearances, thinking that they were some children of noble families or daughters of powerful people who were good friends with Xie Ruanchun.

Luo Tianyan hurriedly stood in the corner of the wall, lowered his head, looked at his nose and nose, and suddenly heard a voice in his ear, "Oops!" When I looked up, I saw that it was a young lady in a lake blue lily skirt sitting in front of me who had accidentally fallen to the ground and soiled her clothes.

"You." Xie Ruanchun immediately pointed at Luo Qianyan and said, accompany Miss Yan to the backyard to change into clean clothes.

Luo tilted his face and stepped forward to lead this Miss Yan to the backyard.

As soon as I walked into the door of the backyard, a small servant immediately brought in a set of clean and tidy clothes that were not gorgeous, put them on the table, and turned around and left.

"Miss Yan, please change your clothes behind the screen." Luo Tianyan always felt that something was wrong and couldn't say anything, so he had to greet the guests first.

Miss Yan sighed, did not answer, and walked straight behind the screen to start changing into clean clothes.

The room was very quiet, and only the sound of rustling clothes rubbing against each other could be heard.

Luo Tianyan was inexplicably a little nervous, but fortunately, there was no accident in that Miss Yan, she walked out calmly, and followed Luo Tianyan back to the flower hall.

When Xie Ruanchun saw that Miss Yan was back, he immediately stepped forward with a smile and said, "My double butterfly cloud pattern thousand water dress, you look good in it!"

"It turned out to be Miss Xie's clothes, no wonder the style and fabric are different from ordinary people! By the way, they also have gifts for you! Miss Yan also said with a smile, then reached out and touched her arms, and then her face became surprised and panicked, and she shouted, "Oh no, my South China Sea pearls are gone!" I put it in my bosom when I came. ”

Hearing Miss Yan's scream, everyone who was still talking and laughing was attracted to each other and said in a gossiping voice;

"Are you sure you have it with you?"

"Did you accidentally drop it on the floor when you were changing clothes just now?"

"South Sea pearls, how big are they?"

After a lot of coaxing, Miss Yan seemed to think of something, and immediately pointed at Luo Tianyan, and said angrily: "Say, is it that you, a slave, saw that pearl and secretly took it?" ”

"No, it's not me, I don't." Luo Tianyan explained in a panic, and suddenly understood in his heart that this was a trap that had been set up a long time ago, and he was stupidly fooled.

"Didn't you listen to Miss Yan, there were only the two of you in the room at that time, if you didn't take it, who would it be?" Seeing Luo Qianyan's panicked appearance, Xie Ruanchun felt very comfortable in her heart, this was originally what she had planned, and immediately said with help.

"It's just that it's not you, isn't there still a ghost in broad daylight? Good for you, a lowly servant. Miss Yan received Xie Ruanchun's support, and scolded even more arrogantly, "You said no, do you dare to let us search our bodies." ”

"No, I didn't see any pearls at all, I was innocent, why should I be searched by you?" Luo Qianyan didn't expect Miss Yan to put forward such a humiliating condition, and she wanted to cry aggrieved.

"Now, everyone heard it, it's a thief!" Xie Ruanchun took the opportunity and said proudly, "If you are innocent, why don't you let us search your body?" ”

Seeing that the owner was sure that it was Luo Qianyan, coupled with Xie Ruanchun's words, everyone in the flower hall looked at Luo Tianyan with suspicion, and said sneeringly:

"She looks like a good-looking girl, but her hands and feet are not clean."

"Miss Xie, I said you are too kind! If this had been beaten to death in my house! ”

"If it were me, I would have been sent to the government for punishment a long time ago, where would I stay in the mansion."

"Say so much and do something, don't you just search the body of a subordinate, come and hold her down, I'll search."

One of them, dressed in a loose pleated skirt and looking very straight-tempered, immediately began to greet people.

You can't let Xie Ruanchun be at the mercy of this. Luo Tianyan said secretly in his heart. Suddenly shouted: "I have a way to find Miss Yan's lost South Sea pearl and prove my innocence." ”

"Okay, I'd like to see how you prove it." Miss Pleated Skirt stopped when she heard this, looked at Luo Qianyan and said.

Luo Tianyan's mind was spinning at high speed, thinking that he had quickly gone through the popular mystery novels and TV in his previous life, and already had an idea in his heart, and said slowly: "I once heard a very powerful person say that things in the world, if you do it, will inevitably leave traces. This matter, no matter who did it, must have traces. ”

Well, that sounds interesting. Everyone nodded.

"Then, let's restore the case first, and maybe we can find clues."

When it came to the word "case", the ladies who usually only came into contact with these two words in the novels suddenly became interested and nodded their heads in agreement.

"First of all, please Miss Yan repeat what happened from beginning to end." Luo said calmly.

"This" Miss Yan looked at Xie Ruanchun with a little lack of confidence.

Xie Ruanchun could only nod, and secretly said Anyway, there was no third person to testify to you at that time, I see what you can do.

"Let's just say, when I came today, I prepared a pigeon-egg-sized South China Sea pearl and put it in my arms, which was originally intended to be given to Miss Xie as a meeting gift, but just now I accidentally fell and soiled my clothes, so I had to go to the backyard to change into a new one, and when I came back here, I found that the pearl was gone. At that time, it was she who led me to the backyard, and when I changed my clothes, she was the only one in the house. ”
