Chapter 303: Framed
"What's going on?"
"Seeing the old butler's face is ugly, isn't there something serious?"
"I don't know. ”
......
The family banquet of three or four hundred people was naturally not so quiet, and the conversation of three or five groups made the entire main hall very noisy.
Ye Yiyi and they sat at the main table, and Li Mingsi sat in her right-hand position.
"Why does Grandpa seem to be watching me all the time?" Ye Yiyi muttered in the man's ear in confusion, "It can't be that something happened, right?"
Li Mingsi hooked his lips and said, "Don't worry, there will be nothing wrong." ”
However, as soon as he said this, the old butler came over with a serious face and whispered to the two of them, "The eldest young master, the eldest young grandmother, the old man asked you to go over, there is something they want to ask you." ”
Li Mingsi raised his eyebrows when he heard this, and took Ye Yiyi's hand and got up, "Okay." ”
Ye Yiyi was confused.
On the way, I wanted to get something out of the old housekeeper's mouth, but the old man's mouth was obviously tighter than she imagined, and he only said one sentence from beginning to end, "When it's time, you will naturally know it." ”
The old man walked out just now, and the old housekeeper took the couple directly to the small courtyard where the old man lived, and just after entering the door, the old man's sharp eyes fell on Ye Yiyi's head.
is also a hero who has killed people on the battlefield, even if it is twilight, the pressure brought to people is not something that a young man like Ye Yiyi can resist.
Ye Yiyi was stared at by the old man, and her back was cold, and a layer of cold sweat couldn't help but break out on her forehead.
Li Mingsi squinted slightly, put his arm around her shoulders directly, and said unhappily, "If you have anything to say, don't sell it." ”
"Ace, do you know what your daughter-in-law has done?"
The old man asked with a calm face.
"She has only been living in the old mansion for a few days, what can she do?"
Li Mingsi's face sank like water, "You also asked, is it too much to convict her directly." ”
"Huh!"
The old man smiled coldly, "For your sake, I don't care about her background and let her enter the genealogy of our Li family, but she did a good job, and she dared to steal things from the ancestral hall! A few days ago, I found out that the bracelet left by your grandmother was stolen, but I never expected that the person who did such a thing would be a family thief! If this spreads, our Li family's face will be lost!"
"There is no evidence, just say that I stole the bracelet?" Ye Yiyi thought it was a big deal, but she didn't expect to say what kind of bracelet she was.
She looked at the old man's displeased eyes and sneered, "It's true that my background is not as good as that of you people from big families, but so what? All beings are created equal, you are just a good point for reincarnation, why should you look down on my background?"
Ye Yiyi took a deep breath and smiled, "Besides, it's not that I don't have no money, and a pair of bracelets is not so bad that I can't afford it, is it necessary to run and steal a bracelet worn by a dead man?"
The old man saw that she was still stiff-mouthed, so he directly asked the old housekeeper to bring the witnesses over.
Ye Yiyi squinted, only to see that the old housekeeper had brought a maid who had been serving them in their courtyard.
She remembered that the maid's job in the courtyard was to clean up the housework, clean the room and the like, and it seemed that her name was Xiaolan.
"Tell me, what did you find in the room?"
The old man asked expressionlessly.
Xiaolan shuddered, obviously scared, but still replied in a proper manner, "I found some things in the room of the eldest and youngest grandmothers that the old lady used before. ”
"These are the ones I found in the grandmother's room. ”
The other maids who came with him hurriedly said.
They brought with them a huge wooden box with a lot of jewelry, all old antiques, which were worth a fortune when they looked at them.
The old man looked at these familiar jewelry, a trace of grief flashed in his eyes, and then a huge anger surged in his heart, and he scolded Ye Yiyi, "You still want to quibble?"
Ye Yiyi said unhurriedly, "I've never taken these things." ”
She was very calm, "You can't see such a simple frame, I can't believe it, old man, you used to be the head of the Li family." ”
"Death or not?" said the old butler unhappily, "These things were all found in your room, you said that Xiaolan and the others framed them, but she was not the only maid who cleaned the house at that time, unless you tell me that all the maids were bought by the person who wanted to frame you." ”
"Impossible. Xiaolan hurriedly said, "My family has been a servant of the Li family for generations, how could I do such a thing of stealing chickens and dogs? These things are indeed what we found from Madame's room." ”
"Yes, we weren't bought. ”
"If we hadn't stumbled upon a wooden box while we were cleaning up our closet today, we wouldn't have found these things. Why don't you dare to admit that you stole it yourself?"
The maids immediately angrily accused.
But at a glance from Li Mingsi's displeased eyes, he immediately coaxed him down and obediently closed his mouth.
"I've never touched any of these things, and the easiest way to do that is to have someone check for my fingerprints on them. Ye Yiyi said a little speechlessly.
The other party used this method of insulting her IQ to frame her, which is too stupid.
The old man frowned, and seeing that she looked frank, he asked the old housekeeper to find a professional.
Moments later, someone came to collect her fingerprints.
Comparing those jewelry, sure enough, Ye Yiyi's fingerprints have never been stained on them.
It means that she has never touched these things.
Of course, it may be that you are wearing gloves on purpose, just to avoid being noticed.
The old man looked at her suspiciously.
Ye Yiyi laughed dissatisfiedly, "These things are valuable in your eyes, but in my eyes they are not as valuable as gold, even if I want to wear jewelry, what I wear is diamond gold or something, and things like jade bracelets will be broken with a slight knock, and I am quite distressed." ”
The old man didn't speak, just stared at the jewelry and kept silent.
Ye Yiyi said lightly, "Although I, Ye Yiyi, am not from such a good background, I am not the kind of person who petty theft. I don't believe the old man can't see such an obvious calculation, after all, you just don't look down on me. ”
Even if he knew that she was JK, the old man still couldn't see a woman as JK.
People like the old man's generation are machismo, and they naturally believe that women depend on men for their existence.
So even if JK is very powerful, in the face of a young and beautiful little girl like Ye Yiyi, the old man still can't treat her as a heavyweight.
Ye Yiyi looked at these jewels and sighed, "Even if you want to frame them, you have to find a clever method." Is it really an insult to our intelligence to use this kind of trickery to accuse me?"
