Chapter 169: Who instructed you to ruin the birthday feast

Su Man wore a necklace made of pearl glass and other jewels around his neck, and the main gem was a green jadeite the size of a copper coin.

An Yueli reached out to touch it, but the other party took two steps back alertly.

"What do you want to do?"

An Yueli asked again, "Where did you get this chain from?" ”

Su Man's eyes rolled slightly, and the corners of his lips were hooked proudly, only as if the other party was envious of his luxurious jewelry.

"Naturally, I bought it."

"Where did you buy it?"

Su Man finally sensed the temptation in An Yueli's words, and seemed a little uncomfortable.

"You don't care what you do so much, the jewelry used by our Sufu ladies is naturally made by special craftsmen."

"Lying. This thing is exquisitely made, the materials are exquisite, and it is by no means an ordinary craftsman can be made. If you name the craftsman, when and where will you entrust the craftsman? ”

Su Man's face changed slightly, "It's ridiculous, why am I telling you this." Besides, my jewelry is not made by craftsmen, could it be that it fell from the sky? ”

When the other ladies heard this, they also thought that An Yueli's question was strange.

"What does Princess Xiao mean by this?"

"Do you think there's something wrong with Miss Su's necklace?"

Faced with everyone's questions, An Yueli announced bluntly.

"It's really wrong, I suspect that the necklace Miss Su is wearing today is one of my mother's dowry."

"What!?"

"How could Princess Xiao's mother's dowry be on Miss Su?"

"This is outrageous!"

Su Man was glared angrily by her, and the boiling fire spurted out visibly from the top of his head.

"An Yueli! Don't think that if you are now Princess Xiao, you can frame others indiscriminately!

What jewelry can't I get from my eldest daughter of a dignified fourth-class official, as for stealing your mother's dowry? ”

"That's right."

"Miss Su is not a young lady from a small family, how can she steal other people's jewelry."

"That's true."

Su Man was supported by others, and his arrogance was even higher.

"The so-called catching traitors and catching doubles, taking thieves and taking stolen goods. Since Princess Xiao suspects me of stealing the jewelry from your house, she must come up with evidence, otherwise I will definitely go to the government to sue you for false accusations! ”

The other party's babbling voice exploded in his ears, but An Yueli's heart was unusually calm. Taking advantage of the other party's noisy work, she has basically sorted out the idea of the whole thing.

Three years ago, Jiang Qinglan was seriously ill, and the position of the main mother was taken over by the Yue family, and the property that originally belonged to their mother and daughter was encroached upon by the other party, which naturally included but not limited to Jiang Qinglan's dowry.

An Yurou and Yin Huaizhi were ambiguous, and An Guogong even thought about stabilizing the family status through marriage. In order to tie up with the Yin family, the Yue family is very likely to use Jiang Qinglan's dowry to curry favor with the other party and relatives.

And Su Man, as Yin Huaizhi's cousin, is not uncommon for An Yurou and Yue's flattery.

"Why don't you speak? Now do you know that your heart is empty? As long as you apologize to me in public......"

"The main jadeite on the necklace is a live inlay process, and you can put incense powder in the dark groove when you take it off, so that the wearer can keep the fragrance all over."

An Yueli didn't wait for Su Man to be arrogant to the end, and suddenly smashed the evidence in front of her.

"Impossible!"

Su Man choked on a breath and almost coughed. She cleared her throat with difficulty, and denied it excitedly and angrily.

"You are talking nonsense, I don't have a dark groove in this chain at all."

An Yueli raised her eyebrows, and a faint mockery flew out of her eyes.

"Whether it's nonsense or not, you can find out if you verify it in person."

“……”

Noticing that more and more eyes were focused on him, Su Man had no choice but to choke on his neck.

"The test is the test, I am not afraid of shadows, unlike some people who only play tricks."

She took off the necklace and studied it for a while, but she couldn't find a way to remove the jadeite, so she had no choice but to ask other noble girls around her to help.

I saw that this chain was circulated in the hands of everyone, and still no one found the clue.

"No, this jade can't be taken off at all."

"It's not that Princess Xiao made a mistake."

"It can be seen that the necklace is Miss Su's private property, and it is not from the Anguo Mansion as Princess Xiao said."

Seeing that everyone hadn't taken off the jadeite, Su Man suddenly burst with confidence, and defiantly raised the necklace in front of An Yueli and shook it twice.

"Well, now convinced, right? You have to apologize to me today! ”

Who knew that in the next second, An Yueli took the necklace from her hand, and took off the jadeite that was a few points bigger than her finger in three or two clicks.

"A special process is used when setting gemstones, and it is not possible to break it hard, and you need to open the metal ring buckles on both sides."

She holds the jade in one hand and reveals the hollow groove in the bottom bracket with the other.

"See clearly, this is where the incense powder is placed."

“!!!”

Su Man gasped, and his eyes almost popped out.

"This, this can't be!"

An Yueli ignored her shocked look and explained to everyone in a loud voice.

"You are all the daughters of prominent families in Beijing, and you have heard a little about the situation of our Anguo Mansion. Three years ago, my mother was seriously ill, and the housekeeping was taken over by the Yue family, who was carried by my aunt as a wife.

Soon after that, there was a burglar in the house who stole a lot of valuable jewelry, including a portion of my mother's dowry. ”

She said and looked at Su Man, "Of course, I believe that the person who committed the crime will not be Miss Su, who has an innocent background, at most you took a fancy to this necklace and accidentally received it at a low price from a thief." Right? ”

Su Man tightened his handkerchief, and the corners of his mouth twitched slightly.

"Of course not! How could our family possibly buy these stolen goods. ”

"Oh, Miss Su means you didn't know it was stolen goods, but someone deceived you. Then please explain to Miss Su, who gave you this thing? ”

Once again, the meaning of the words was deliberately misinterpreted, and Su Man was so angry that he stomped his feet.

She looked around in shame, trying to find a companion to help explain, only to find that the nobles around her were staring at her with disgust and gossip.

The feeling of thorns in her back eroded Su Man's internal organs, making her flustered and uneasy.

"I didn't! It's you! Su Man suddenly screamed and pointed at An Yueli hysterically, "You must have seen a necklace with a similar mechanism early in the morning and deliberately framed me!" ”

"Ridiculous." An Yueli's cold eyes burned, "I have no grudge against you, so why not frame me." If you want to put your intentions, I'll have to ask you. Miss Su, who instructed you to sabotage the birthday banquet of the county lord of Chunxiao? ”

"I, you......"

Just when Su Man was speechless, Yu Guang caught a glimpse of the county lord of Chunxiao who had returned with his maid. She didn't have time to think about it, and subconsciously squeezed out two tears, and the wicked person sued first.

"County Lord, Princess Xiao bullied her courtiers, and asked the county lord to be my master!"
