Chapter 72: So You're a Thief

After Qin Jiuniang finished speaking, her gaze swept over the other ladies present.

She is not the only woman sitting here.

And, like them, she sat in the guest seat, and never sat in the host's seat.

Isn't it strange that a subordinate who had just entered the mansion and had never seen her could come out of so many women and call her Mrs. directly?

Luo Xiumei really choked.

Almost every question Qin Jiuniang asked her in front of her was easy for people to relax their vigilance, and they could blurt out answers without using their brains.

Now that such a sharp question suddenly fell, she didn't know how to answer it at all!

And after Qin Jiuniang asked like this, everyone present finally realized that something was wrong, and they all cast questioning glances at Luo Xiumei.

Luo Xiumei just has more ideas, not as simple and simple as ordinary country women.

But when it comes to scheming, in fact, the so-called good ideas she came up with after breaking her head are not enough in the eyes of these big families who have a smoke-free battlefield in their backyards

The reason why they didn't immediately suspect Luo Xiumei was because they didn't know that Luo Xiumei had just entered the mansion.

After all, in their cognition, an inherent stereotype has been formed: the banquet room is an important place in the family, and the people who can work here are all old people who have won their trust.

Since he is an old man in the family, he naturally knows the temperament of the main family.

Therefore, when Luo Xiumei showed a look of fear in front of Qin Jiuniang and kowtowed and begged for mercy, they felt that Qin Jiuniang's good reputation for treating her servants well was fake.

Now that they know that Luo Xiumei is a newcomer who has just entered the mansion, they immediately began to be suspicious in their hearts.

Goodbye, Luo Xiumei couldn't answer Qin Jiuniang's last key question, and she showed a panicked and panicked look, and their suspicions were even worse.

At this time, they all stared at Luo Xiumei with burning eyes.

They are all old foxes who are fighting in the shopping mall, and their eyes are as sharp and vicious as knives.

Luo Xiumei grew up in the countryside, and she was young, so how could she withstand their gaze.

Cold sweat gradually broke out on his back.

The little face turned white little by little, cold sweat dripped down the corners of her forehead, and smashed on the back of her hand, she immediately trembled like a cat whose tail had been stepped on.

At this moment, Qin Jiuniang suddenly said "huh" again.

"Miss Xiumei, didn't you say that your family was poor, you couldn't even eat, and you couldn't find a way to live, so you sold yourself to the Shen family as a subordinate? Why do you still have a pair of jade bracelets in your hand? ”

When Luo Xiumei heard this, she trembled even more, and subconsciously covered her wrists.

She did wear a pair of jade bracelets on her wrists, which were given to her by her aunt.

Her aunt gave her not only a pair of jade bracelets, but also two pairs of earrings inlaid with agate and pearls, and a golden hairpin made of pure gold.

My cousin is in the women's business, including jewelry, and my aunt wants her to be her daughter-in-law, so she is very generous to give good things.

The earrings and the golden hairpin, these things can be seen at a glance, so she took them off and carried them in her arms.

Only this pair of bracelets, she felt that there were sleeves to cover it, and others could not see it, so she didn't take it off.

It turned out to be a bad thing!

…… I knew she should have taken off the jade bracelet too!

Luo Xiumei was annoyed and nervous in her heart.

It's a pity that in this world, the most scarce thing is to know early.

Qin Jiuniang sneered in her heart, if she had known that she was Shen Chongde's original cannon fodder, she would not have paid such a painful price in her last life.

"Miss Xiumei, I see that your jade bracelet is very delicate, can I take a look?"

As early as when she knew Luo Xiumei's identity, Qin Jiuniang noticed the pair of jade bracelets on the other party's wrists.

Because it is familiar, the jade bracelet is the style sold in her shop.

大概是根植于血液中品牌记忆,未曾重生之前,秦九娘就有意塑造自己的品牌。

她经营的产业,不管是胭脂水粉,还是成衣首饰,都有一个小小的标记。

Modern people call it a brand logo.

如果她没看走眼的话,那玉镯的内侧,应该就有一个logo。

Luo Xiumei didn't know this, she just instinctively felt that the jade bracelet she was wearing on her wrist must not be shown to Qin Jiuniang.

Thinking of this, she hurriedly said: "This bracelet is a relic given to me by my mother, and I can't take it off!" ”

Qin Jiuniang: "You don't have to pick it, I'll just take a look." ”

After she finished speaking, she got up straight and walked towards Luo Xiumei.

The latter's face turned paler and instinctively retreated to dodge.

Qin Jiuniang: "I'm just looking, and I don't want you, what are you hiding?" ”

Which of those present is not a human spirit.

Isn't it strange that a poor man who is so poor that he has no way to live and has to be sold into slavery wears a pair of valuable jade bracelets on his hands?

Although the other party said that this was a relic left to her by her mother, her mother was an ordinary countryman, how could she have the money to buy such a good jade bracelet as Shuitou.

The pair of jade bracelets worn by the Shen family girl on her hand are not famous!

So everyone opened their mouths one after another and scolded Luo Xiumei.

"You girl, I don't know what's wrong, Boss Qin just thinks your jade bracelet is good-looking, and I just want to take a look at it, is it possible that Boss Qin will still rob your jade bracelet?"

"The so-called thief has a weak heart, this girl ring speaks inconsistently, and her heart is like this, the jade bracelet in her hand shouldn't be stolen, right?"

"If you want me to see it, it's very likely, after all, she just said it herself, her family is very poor, she can't eat, and she has been sold into slavery, how can she still wear such a good jade bracelet."

"That's right, I took a look, the jade bracelet is not cheap, to say the least, it can be worth a few hundred taels of silver."

"The law of this dynasty stipulates that if you steal other people's property worth more than ten taels, you will be imprisoned and exiled, and her jade bracelet is worth hundreds of taels, and it is enough to kill your head!"

As soon as the word "kill head" came out, Luo Xiumei's already pale face became even whiter, and cold sweat rolled down her forehead.

She's still so young, her good years have just begun, she doesn't want to be beheaded!

…… But if she wants to admit her identity, will it cause trouble for her cousin?

My cousin was already very cold to her, if she didn't help her cousin this time, but caused trouble to her cousin, her cousin would definitely hate her even more in the future!

If she can't marry her cousin and be a rich wife, then what's the point of her living!

想到这,罗秀梅硬是扛住了,咬牙不承认自己是沈崇德的表妹。

她哭着哀求秦九娘:“秦老板,这玉镯真是奴婢娘留给奴婢的遗物,不是奴婢偷的…… Boss Qin, everyone says that you are beautiful and kind-hearted, please embarrass the slave! ”

As he spoke, he kowtowed "knock knock".

Luo Xiumei's fear was all pretended, but at this moment she was really scared.

So, within a few strokes, blood was on her forehead.

As everyone knows, her behavior corresponds to exactly one word: want to cover up.

Everyone frowned at her.

Qin Jiuniang was also a little surprised, she didn't expect that the other party was quite capable of carrying things, so many people put pressure together, and even moved out of prison and killing, this Cousin Luo still called herself a slave, and never mentioned the relationship with Shen Chongde.

…… Don't admit it, do you? It doesn't matter, she has her own way to force the other party to admit it.

"Miss Xiumei, what you said is serious, I'm just curious about the jade bracelet on your hand and want to see it...... Not as serious as you think. ”

Before the words fell, without waiting for Luo Xiumei to react, Qin Jiuniang grabbed the other party's arm and took off the jade bracelet on her wrist.

Luo Xiumei was shocked and jumped up to grab it.

…… It's a pity that I was vigorously pressed by the apricot.

While struggling, Luo Xiumei shouted loudly: "Give me back the jade bracelet!" Give me back the jade bracelet!! ”

"Don't worry, I'll take a look and I'll give it back to you right away." Qin Jiuniang said lightly, raised the jade bracelet and shone it at the light, and then she let out the third "hey" today.

"On this jade bracelet, how can there be the logo of the Shen family?"

She was suspicious and turned her head to look at Luo Xiumei.

"Don't you just say, is this jade bracelet a relic left to you by your mother, but your mother died ten years ago, and Shen Ji only had it three years ago, this is ...... It doesn't make sense. ”

Immediately, as if she suddenly understood, she suddenly realized: "Oh, I understand, you are a thief, you stole the master's things!" ”

"No wonder you refused to let me see it, it turned out to be because of this reason!"
