Chapter 30: Proving Innocence

Xiao Yan was furious, Liu Yinyin was looking forward to watching the play, Xiangxue was frightened by the scene in front of her and cried, Liu Zhutou and the others looked at Luo Yao, and everyone was waiting for her to make a reasonable explanation.

Luo Yao calmed down, glanced at the bag of things on the table first, and then fell on the man brought by Liu Zhutou.

She walked up to the man calmly and looked at him condescendingly, "You took this bag personally?" ”

"Yes."

The man didn't dare to look up and answered in a muffled voice.

"Do you remember the person who gave you something?"

"This ......"

The man recalled carefully for a moment, and shook his head at Luo Yao, "It was dark at the time, and the man was masked in a black scarf, and besides, my attention was on these treasures, and I didn't care about looking at the other party's appearance." ”

"What else do you want to do?" Seeing Luo Yao suddenly ask this, Xiao Yan asked dissatisfiedly.

Luo Yao turned to look at him, "I didn't sell the Queen Mother's reward without permission, I will find out this thief and prove my innocence." ”

After speaking, her gaze deliberately stayed on Liu Yinyin for a short time.

Facing her cold and sharp eyes, Liu Yinyin's heart sank, but she still disguised her calm appearance without a trace.

"The human and material evidence are all in front of you, and you still want to exonerate yourself, this king really underestimated your perseverance." Xiao Yan sneered coldly.

There is no trust between her and Xiao Yan at all, and it is normal for Xiao Yan not to believe her in the current situation, she is very patient and analyzes with Xiao Yan.

"Evidence that can be easily seen by people is not real evidence, and it may be that someone deliberately wants us to see it."

"What do you mean?" Xiao Yan's brows furrowed.

"Everyone knows that selling the queen mother's reward without permission is a big crime, even if I am short of money, I should understand that life is more important than money, and I will not knowingly commit it."

Xiao Yan looked at her suspiciously, "But it's a fact that you want money." ”

She smiled and nodded in acknowledgement, "Yes! It is true that I am short of money and I want it, but I am not a man who only needs money and does not want to die. ”

Xiao Yan was silent, frowning and thinking.

"I know that the prince refuses to believe me, if I can't prove my innocence, I will let the prince dispose of it, and never say a word more."

Xiao Yan raised his eyes, "Okay!" This king will give you the opportunity to prove your innocence. ”

After the words fell, Xiao Yan turned around and sat back on the main seat, with unknown calculations hidden under those deep eyes.

He wanted to see what Luo Yao should do this time.

Luo Yao breathed a sigh of relief, and her clenched hand finally let go.

There is only one chance to prove her innocence, she can't make any mistakes, and then be used as a handle by Xiao Yan.

She looked at the man again and asked, "You don't know what that man looks like, you should know if that person is a man or a woman, right?" ”

"It's a woman."

"Are you sure?"

The man nodded hurriedly, "It was dark that night, and the surroundings were quiet, and I heard her voice really, and her voice sounded quite young." ”

With the man's words, Luo Yao had a general direction in her heart.

If you can enter her yard and get these things she keeps in the closet, this person must be from the house.

is not only a person from the house, but also a young woman, and the search scope has narrowed down a lot at once.

She came to Xiao Yan again and said, "I'm tired of the prince looking for someone to find all the maids and mothers-in-law in the house." ”

Xiao Yan frowned unhappily, "Do you suspect that someone from the mansion framed you?" ”

"Hmm."

Although Xiao Yan was a little bored, he still raised his hand and motioned to do it without a trace.

Seeing Traceless walk out of the front hall, Liu Yinyin clenched her little hands with anxiety.

Luo Yao noticed her abnormality, and deliberately raised her voice and asked Xiao Yan, "If I succeed in finding out this person who planted the blame for leaving the princess, what does the prince plan to do?" ”

"Dare to make waves in the palace, and beat him to death directly!"

Luo Yao clapped her hands and agreed, "I hope the prince will do what he says, but don't favor some people anymore." ”

"This king has always been just and has never taken sides." Xiao Yan snorted coldly.

Luo Yao twisted her face and "cut", not bothering to refute him.

Liu Yinyin's face was ugly and gave Peony a look, and Peony glanced at everyone, planning to quietly leave the front hall while no one was paying attention to him.

As soon as she was about to step out of the threshold, she was discovered by the sharp-eyed Luo Yao.

"Peony, where is this going?"

Peony stopped with her back to everyone, pretending to be calm and turned around, "Back to the princess, the slave maid is a little anxious, and she got the consent of the young lady to go to the thatched house." ”

"No one can leave at this time, you better bear with it first!"

"Yes."

Peony replied helplessly, lowered her head and returned to Liu Yinyin.

Glancing at Liu Yinyin's master and servant, Luo Yao reminded: "In order not to cause misunderstanding, it is best not to leave the front hall." ”

Liu Yinyin responded with a reluctant smile and echoed: "The princess is right, it's me who can't think about it. ”

After a short time, Wuxian and the housekeeper brought all the maids and mothers-in-law in the house, and they stood neatly in the courtyard, all of them nervous.

Wuxian is the person next to Xiao Yan, he personally gathered all the maids and mothers-in-law in the house, and the maids were so scared.

Luo Yao dragged the man on the ground up, "Come out with me." ”

The man followed her to the courtyard with trepidation and stood in front of all the maids and mothers-in-law.

She raised her eyes to look at these people, "You don't have to be nervous, I won't embarrass you, I brought you here today mainly to get you to cooperate with me to do something." ”

She pointed to the man beside her and said, "Later he will come to you, and whoever he goes to, he will just talk to him." ”

Although the maids and mothers-in-law were afraid, they didn't dare to refute, and said in unison: "Yes." ”

"Go ahead!" Luo Yao motioned for the man to walk over.

The man didn't dare to say a word, so he obediently walked to these maids and mothers-in-law and listened to them one by one.

Half an hour later, the man turned back to Luo Yao and shook his head at her.

"No?"

Man: "No. ”

"How is it possible, have you listened carefully?" Luo Yao asked.

The man hurriedly replied, "The villain listened carefully, and these are not these people. ”

Luo Yao took a deep breath and wrinkled her eyebrows into deep thought.

Xiao Yan and Liu Yinyin in the hall heard the conversation between the two and walked out one after another.

Liu Yinyin swept away the haze in her heart, covered her mouth and smiled, "Everyone has been found, and they have all been checked one by one, what should I do next?" ”

"Luo Yao, what else do you have to say?" Xiao Yan asked coldly.

Luo Yao frowned, always feeling that something was wrong.

If the man didn't lie, this person should be from the house, why didn't he find this person?

She raised her eyes to look at Traceless and the housekeeper, "Are you sure that all the maids and mothers-in-law in the house are here?" ”

"Back to the princess, everyone is here, even the mother-in-law who is cooking in the back kitchen has been found by me." Butler Road.

Luo Yao walked into the courtyard and looked at all these maids and mothers-in-law, and she suddenly realized that there was one person missing.

"Where's Mama Xu?"
