"This ...... Is it the old lady's pearl of the East China Sea? How can it be on you?"

Everyone looked at Qin Jingxi, Qin Jingxi knelt on the ground with a puff, and hugged Old Madam Bai's waist with her hand: "Grandma, I was framed, and I don't know when this pearl came to me, you must believe me."

But at this moment, there are all the human and material evidence, and even Bai Wan is dumbfounded, not knowing how to defend her daughter.

Old Madam Bai held this pearl rewarded by the Queen Mother, and her face turned pale.

Bai Wan couldn't help but kneel down on her knees: "Mother, this must be a misunderstanding, Jingxi...... There's no way Shizuki would have done such a thing!"

But the matter has come to this point, no matter how Qin Jingxi and Bai Wan justify, in the eyes of everyone, it is just a quibble.

"Cousin Jingxi, I really can't figure it out, you are the concubine of the Hou Mansion and the future second princess, why did you do such a thing? Although this pearl was on the crown and hat when the Queen Mother was crowned as the queen, if you were the second princess, you would naturally have a better one, ah! I see!"

As soon as she was halfway through her words, He Jiani suddenly screamed, covered her mouth, and showed a look of horror and sudden realization on her face.

"What do you know?"

Bai Wan suddenly had a bad premonition in her heart, and she always felt that He Jiani's dog couldn't spit out ivory from her mouth.

The facts also proved her conjecture.

"There have always been rumors that whether it is the Queen Mother or the Queen Mother, when they are rewarded, the crown beads they wear have the air of an auspicious phoenix.

He Jiani's words were enough.

But everyone's thoughts had all thought of one place.

Is it because Qin Jingxi wants to be the second princess so much, so she wants this bead so much?

No, she wants to be above 10,000 people, isn't it...... She still wants to be the crown princess and the queen's mother?

Although He Jiani didn't say much, but what she didn't say, everyone figured it out.

For the first time, Qin Jingxi felt the grievance that she couldn't tell if she had a mouth.

He Jiani even found her motive for stealing.

Bai Wan's eyes widened, she slowly turned her gaze to Qin Jingxi, seeing that Qin Jingxi kept shaking her head, her belief in her daughter couldn't help but start to waver.

She knew that Qin Jingxi wanted to be the second princess too much.

"I'm not, I'm not!"

Qin Jingxi turned his head to look at Bai Wan: "Mother, you believe me, grandma, I really didn't think so, if I really wanted it, I could win it back with my own ability, why should I do such a dirty thing." Someone is trying to harm me, and I'm really wronged!"

Suddenly, she remembered that when she came back today, it seemed that someone bumped into her, and she also told the other party generously and kindly, the road was slippery in the cold, and she was careful not to fall again.

Don't...... That's when it was?

"I remember, there was a little guy with a rickety back who bumped into me, he must have taken advantage of that time to frame me, grandma, as long as that little guy is arrested, I will definitely be able to prove my innocence."

Qin Jingxi seemed to have grasped the last straw, she hurriedly said, "Go and call all the little servants in the mansion over, I will definitely be able to recognize him at a glance and let him explain who instructed him to harm me!"

"That's enough!"

Old Madam Bai couldn't help but hold the unicorn cane and slam the ground fiercely, making a "dong dong" sound.

Qin Jingxi still wanted to argue, but he heard Zhong Shi say, "There are no rickety subordinates in our house."

Qin Jingxi's face froze, and her open mouth didn't close for a long time.

"How could there be?"

Bai Xian couldn't help but sneer when she heard this: "Bai Wan, you have been unwilling to face your mistakes since you were a child, but I didn't expect that the children you raised were the same, this is really not a good habit."

Bai Xian was talking about Bai Wan, but in fact, she was talking about it even with their mother and daughter.

Qin Jingxi could only eat this dumb loss raw, and it was in vain to say anything.

Someone wants to harm her, and it is impossible to explain that she has eight mouths.

Old Madam Bai waved her hand, ordered someone to put this Oriental Pearl in a box, gave Bai Wan and Qin Jingxi a step and said, "Originally, I just wanted to give this bead to Jingxi, Wan'er, you can take this bead back, and the new year will also be a good omen."

Qin Jingxi didn't want it, what good sign was there for her, it was clearly a shame.

But in the face of Mrs. Bai's kindness, she blushed, but she had to take it.

Bai Qian's eyes showed a look of disdain, originally, she and Qin Jingxi were good friends, but now that she saw the fact that she was stealing, she remembered that she had specially written a letter here.

Although the letter did not say that Qin Chaojiu was bad, it emphasized the grievances she suffered in the house after Qin Chaojiu returned. After reading the letter, she was ready to fight for her.

Now, thinking about it carefully, the look in Bai Qian's eyes turned cold unconsciously.

For the first time, he even glanced in the direction of Qin Chaojiu.

Qin Chaojiu was frowning at the moment, although the evidence was conclusive, she and Qin Jingxi had never had any sisterhood, but at this moment, she always felt that things were faintly weird.

She looked up, and just in time to meet Bai Qian's gaze.

Just as she was wondering why Bai Qian was staring at her, she saw Bai Qian suddenly turn her head around.

It's so stiff, it's funny.

In the afternoon, Qin Chaojiu deliberately paid attention to He Jiani, and it was not until everyone left Baifu one after another that Qin Chaojiu finally found a clue.

He Jiani was talking to a somewhat rickety man at the side door.

The man ...... He was not wearing the clothes of the people of the White Mansion, but like the clothes of the people on the street.

But the two only said a few words, and the man turned around and left, and Qin Chao wanted to chase after him for a long time, but it was too late.

Qin Jingxi didn't lie, there was indeed a man with a stiff back.

Aunt Zhong didn't lie, he was indeed not from Baifu.

Because Qin Chaojiu saw him walking away with a flat pole, if she didn't guess wrong, this person should have just happened to deliver food to the Baifu kitchen.

How could it be a coincidence, but He Jiani accosted him?

Qin Chaojiu had to suspect that all this was He Jiani's layout and design, but unfortunately, that person had already gone away, and she had no evidence.

He Jiani is the concubine of the second prince, if she really wants to deal with Qin Jingxi, the future second princess, she will definitely strike again. Z.br>

There will always be a time when the horse's feet will be exposed.

When I went back from Baifu, the car was loaded with a lot of things, in addition to the gifts from Mrs. Bai and Zhong, there were also things prepared by other aunts and cousins.

Now that they are all put together, it is impossible to tell which one belongs to Qin Jingxi and which one belongs to Qin Chaojiu.

Bai Wan said in the carriage, "When I return to the Hou Mansion, I will add all these things to your dowry, and when the two of you are about to get married, it is good to have more of these things."

"Daughters listen to their mothers." Qin Jingxi responded obediently.

Qin Chaojiu also nodded, to be honest, she really didn't feel anything about these gold and silver jewelry, silk and satin.

In contrast, if someone gave her a bag of dim sum fruit that she had never eaten, she would remember them for the rest of her life.

When he arrived at the Hou Mansion, Qin Chaojiu said a word to Bai Wan, and then went back directly to his Heart Fragrance Courtyard.

"Winter lotus, you go to Beimu Wangfu for a run."

As soon as he arrived at his courtyard, Qin Chaojiu immediately gave an order.

As soon as Dong Lotus answered, Qin Chaojiu suddenly changed his words again: "Wait a while, you can go to the bamboo joints."

Dong Lotus was stunned for a moment, then a smile appeared on her face, she hit the bamboo knot with her elbow, and whispered with a smile, "Our young lady."

I know that I feel sorry for Sister Zhujie."

Zhujie's face turned red instantly, but he still argued, "Miss just feels sorry for you for a day. I just want you to take a break, and if I want to feel sorry for you, I feel sorry for you."

"Yes, yes, anyway, I don't have an older brother Lang Jun in the Beimu Palace."

Zhujie's face turned even redder, and he asked Qin Chaojiu in a low voice, "Miss, do you want to bring anything?"

Qin Chaojiu nodded and said, "Please lend me someone who is better, and help me investigate something."

Zhu Jie was puzzled: "Wouldn't it be better if you asked Prince Beimu to help you investigate directly?"

Qin Chaojiu said: "The prince has a lot of things every day, how can you count on him for everything, it would be good if you could lend me some people."

"What do you want to do to go to the prince of Beimu to borrow someone, our Hou Mansion is not incapable."

Outside the door, Qin Guanrui's voice suddenly came.

It seems that he heard everything.

There were not a few servants in Xinxiang Courtyard, but now they are all in the house, so that Qin Guanrui came over, and there was no personal report.

The corners of Qin Chaojiu's mouth curled slightly: "Third brother, can someone lend it to me?"

"Naturally, what you want to do, I'll choose the most suitable one for you. Our Hou Mansion has always had some people who are very good at beating, and I am in charge of them on weekdays, you say, no matter what you want to do, the third brother can help you." Qin Guan Rui said.

"Really? That's great! I want someone who can enter the palace and spy on a person in the palace."

Qin Guanrui's Haikou had just boasted, and after hearing Qin Chaojiu's words, the expression on his face froze.

Seeing this, Qin Chaojiu couldn't help asking, "Is this ...... Is it hard? The third brother won't be without a suitable candidate, right?"

Qin Guanrui: "......"

The dozens or hundreds of secret guards raised by their Hou Mansion, although they are powerful, they can't be sent to the palace, and their Hou Mansion doesn't have such a big ability, if they are discovered, it will be a matter of losing their heads.

Choked hard, Qin Guanrui frowned and found himself under the stairs: "By the way, the people from the Ministry of Rites are here today, and the wedding date between you and King Beimu is scheduled for the eighth day of the second month. Regarding many matters related to the wedding, perhaps you can send a letter to the Beimu Royal Mansion to discuss with them."

After a slight pause in his voice, Qin Guanrui continued: "It's just right, you can also ask King Beimu to lend you someone, you will be his princess in the future, and his people should be your people."
