Everyone's eyes fell on Qin Jingxi's face at this moment.

Even Bai Wan couldn't help asking, "Did you go to your grandmother's yard?"

When a group of them were talking here just now, Qin Jingxi did go out for a while, she was busy talking and chatting with Bai Xian and her younger siblings Zhong, and she didn't notice what Qin Jingxi was doing.

It was only after a while that I saw her come back with a somewhat panicked expression, but because it was not convenient, she didn't ask more.

But she has confidence in her daughter, her daughter grew up in the Hou Mansion, although the Hou Mansion has declined in recent years, but her daughter has grown up with the whole family, what kind of baby has not been seen, it is absolutely impossible to take her mother's things.

Qin Jingxi's eyes widened, and he subconsciously denied it, "I didn't."

He Jiani said: "That's strange, just now my aunt said that she was going to the kitchen to see if the baked pastries were ready, I went with her to help, and on the way I happened to see Cousin Jingxi going to grandma's yard, right, aunt, did you see it too?"

When the head of the Bai Mansion, the Zhong family, heard this, she had to tell the truth: "Yes, I thought that Jingxi was instructed by the old lady to go over, after all...... The old lady's courtyard is not allowed by any of us on weekdays."

Old Madam Bai has a habit of cleanliness, so the women in the Bai Mansion do not have the rules of morning and dusk.

You don't have to go to the old lady's yard every once in a while to say goodbye.

Usually the old lady takes the initiative to call the sons, daughters-in-law, grandchildren, and daughters of the house to the dining hall to talk.

Bai Wan's protector was heartfelt, and when she heard this, she couldn't help but say to the Zhong family, "You can see clearly, there are many people in this mansion, aren't you mistaken?"

She is the daughter of the Bai family, so she naturally knows her mother's rules.

Zhong said: "Fifth sister, don't worry, I was staring at it for a while, and I also thought it was strange, so I took a few special looks."

He Jiani raised her hand and touched her chin, and looked in the direction of Qin Jingxi with a pensive expression: "This is strange, cousin Jingxi, what are you doing in Grandma's yard?"

"What do you mean, do you suspect that I stole Grandma's Pearl of the East China Sea?" Qin Jingxi's face turned blue with anger.

Although she occasionally has some small calculations of her own, she has always been the most self-assured, and it is absolutely impossible for her to do such a petty theft and not be able to do anything that cannot be put on the table.

"What are you doing so excited, as long as you make it clear what you're going to do, and explain the misunderstanding, wouldn't it be good? I didn't say you took it." He Jiani said with a simple and innocent face.

"I ......"

Qin Jingxi obviously hesitated.

Her hesitant reaction fell in the eyes of everyone, but everyone had to be suspicious.

Qin Chaojiu and several people were still standing at the door at the moment, and when they saw the situation inside, they all consciously cleared their steps and found the best and lively position to stand aside.

Qin Chaojiu's eyes fell on He Jiani and Qin Jingxi, who had inherited their mother's hostility towards each other, and they were also tense at the moment. Z.br>

It seems that this time it seems that Qin Chaojiu is going to lose.

"Jingxi, you don't have to be afraid, just make it clear what you are going to do in grandma's yard, don't worry, mother is here." Bai Wan patted Qin Jingxi's hand lightly, and comforted in a firm voice.

But Qin Jingxi's hand became tighter and tighter, and her distress could not be spoken.

Otherwise, everyone will laugh at it.

She raised her eyes suddenly, a pair of hateful eyes stared at He Jiani's face, and it was only at this moment that she understood why He Jiani dared to let herself say it in front of so many people.

She must know everything.

He Jiani must have known that His Royal Highness asked her to go to the courtyard of Old Madam Bai to deliver a letter to a little maid.

Yes, He Jiani is also a member of His Royal Highness, and it is not surprising that she knows about this.

But......

How could she say it.

She is the future second princess and concubine set by the saint himself, but she is actually the second emperor

Zi, but only sees her as an object that can be used, and even ...... I didn't hesitate to let her take the opportunity of returning to Baifu to take back a little maid beside Mrs. Bai to the palace.

She is a person who has not yet become the second princess, but she is already about to start choosing a woman for her future husband.

What a shame.

She would never tell anyone.

Her pride does not allow her to be so ridiculed.

She gritted her teeth and refused to tell the truth.

Old Madam Bai also noticed the abnormality, so she said earnestly: "Good boy, you are the concubine raised by the Marquis of Yongchang, and you are the future second princess, grandma believes that you don't think you will take anything that doesn't belong to you, but with so many pairs of eyes watching, you have to give everyone an explanation, what did you do?"

Forced by everyone, Qin Jingxi could only find an excuse and said: "I accidentally walked in, and I saw an injured kitten at that time, so I walked all the way in, and when I got inside, I found that it was my grandmother's yard, so I hurried out."

When the words fell, she was also busy saying, "The peaches in Grandma's yard can help me testify, I didn't enter Grandma's house at all, I just came out when I got to the yard."

"Go and call Peach." Old Madam Bai commanded.

After a while, the little maid named Peach was called over.

She was the woman who had been favored by His Royal Highness because of her relationship, and she knelt on the ground in a proper manner and asked Mrs. Bai for peace.

After He Jiani saw her, she exclaimed: "Oh, I didn't think Peach was beautiful before, but now that I look at it like this, it is a little similar to my cousin Chaojiu, especially the nose and mouth, this lower half of the face is too similar, isn't it Mother?"

Bai Xian replied to herself: "Well, when you say that, it's really similar."

How did you eat melons and eat them again?

Qin Chaojiu looked over, and sure enough, he also found two or three similarities.

"No wonder!"

Qin Jingxi clenched her teeth, secretly said in her heart, and clenched her hands fiercely.

No wonder when she saw Peach for the first time, she felt a little unpleasant, it turned out that it was because her appearance was similar to that of the Qin Dynasty.

Could it be that this is also the reason why His Royal Highness has to give her a little maid?

His Royal Highness is really ruthless!

"Peach, you said, Miss Jingxibiao went to my house just now?" Old Madam Bai asked.

Peach knelt on the ground, bowed her head and said, "Miss Qin Dabiao came to your Suxi Temple, but when the slave saw it, she didn't enter your house."

Qin Jingxi's hanging heart slowly let go.

When she endured the humiliation and went to find Peach today, she was still angry in her heart, and secretly decided that even if she sent Peach to His Second Highness now, it didn't matter, and when she carried the sedan chair through the door and became the real second princess, concubines such as Peach and He Jiani would have a room, wouldn't it be up to her.

When the time comes, they must be allowed to survive and not to die.

But at this moment, seeing this peach so sensible, it can make her life a little better in the future.

"Have you been in Grandma's yard all this time?" He Jiani asked again.

Peach nodded: "Back to Miss He Dabiao, the old lady likes to be clean, and the slave maid has been cleaning the yard all the time."

"And did you see anyone else go in?"

"No, the slave has been in the courtyard all the time, and I haven't seen anyone else enter through the front door." Peach thought for a moment and replied cautiously, she had never seen anyone enter through the front door, but there was a small side door to the west, so she naturally couldn't say anything to death.

Old Madam Bai frowned, and suddenly said, "That's it, today is the time for everyone to reunite, originally I just wanted to take out that bead to make a good fortune for everyone, and it was originally meant to be given to you, but if it's gone, it's gone."

Old Madam Bai sighed helplessly, today her daughters can bring their children back to see her, they should be happy, and they shouldn't be like this

。

When He Jiani heard this, she said very understandingly, "What Grandma said is that even if this bead was really taken away by Sister Jingxi, what does it matter, it is our own sisters on the left and right."

Bai Wan couldn't hear such words, she immediately scolded, "The matter hasn't been clarified yet, who allows you to casually button such a dirty hat on my daughter? Although I don't know who the real murderer is, it can't be my Jingxi."

Bai Xian also protected her daughter and said, "My daughter also said casually, if you really sit upright, it is better to let someone search for it, so as to prove your innocence."

Old Madam Bai's face became gloomy.

Body search is an insult to people.

Bai Wan and Qin Jingxi's faces were also the same ugly.

But in front of everyone's eyes, Bai Wan nodded as if her brain had short-circuited, "My daughter is not afraid, so I will invite my mother to come in person."

The left and right can't let the subordinates do it, it is the dignity she must leave to her daughter.

But at this moment, Qin Jingxi's face suddenly changed.

Because......

She subconsciously touched her body, and she really touched a round bead on her waist.

The whole person's heart was lifted.

No, this bead is definitely not hers, she would never wear anything like this on her body.

So what is it?

The rest of the servants and men in the house were all evacuated, and they saw that Old Madam Bai waved at her and asked her to pass.

Qin Jingxi's legs seemed to be filled with lead, and he couldn't move at all.

But until this moment, she couldn't recall when this thing that didn't belong to her was put on her body.

Old Madam Bai also noticed Qin Jingxi's resistance at this moment, and the suspicion in her heart couldn't help but rise.

She came to Qin Jingxi's front in two steps, and as soon as she stretched out her hand, she touched a bead hidden by her waist on her stiff body.

took it out and looked at it, and sure enough, it was the most precious pearl of the East China Sea that she lost.

"Hiss......"

At this time, everyone couldn't help but gasp.
