Chapter 334 Abnormal

Li Ruoxue couldn't afford to offend Bai Youran, so she had to resort to this method to accurately frame Lin Yuesha.

"Sister, you're so much smarter!"

Li Ruoshuang clapped her hands. This idea was better than hers. If she had used her own method, and Lin Yuesha had flaunted the jewelry she had obtained, the sisters' scheme would have been exposed. It was her oversight.

Li Ruoxue smiled, knowing that in a few days she wouldn't have to see that eyesore Lin Yuesha anymore.

The two sisters discussed that when they learned the rules the next day, one of them would pretend to have a stomachache and come back early, and then try to enter Lin Yuesha's room to deliver the jewelry.

"Ruoshuang, use your ruby ​​bracelet."

After Li Ruoxue finished speaking, Li Ruoshuang's expression immediately changed. "Sister, the ruby ​​and gold bracelet was a coming-of-age gift from Mother. It's very valuable. The ruby ​​is of excellent quality, and the bracelet is worth a thousand taels of silver. Is it really necessary to use something so expensive?"

Any hairpin or ring will suffice; it doesn't matter what you use to frame someone.

"Of course, it has to be expensive. Wealth moves people's hearts; ordinary jewelry has no persuasive power."

Only by framing her with valuable jewelry can it be proven that Lin Yuesha took the risk and committed the real theft.

"That's true, the bracelet will come back anyway."

Li Ruoshuang reluctantly took off the bracelet and placed it on the table to examine it closely. It was her favorite bracelet, and she couldn't bear to be without it for even a moment.

The next day, Granny Fang led a group of young ladies to the garden, where a teacher who specialized in calligraphy and painting guided them in creating paintings.

Li Ruoshuang asked Granny Fang for leave, lying that she was on her period and needed to take care of herself.

Normally, Granny Fang wouldn't allow the young ladies to urinate or drink water, so she would make them hold it in. However, when they were menstruating, their clothes would easily get stained with blood if they didn't clean up.

"Go quickly and come back quickly."

Granny Fang's frown could kill a fly, and her sharp eyes made Li Ruoshuang feel uneasy. Thinking of the sisters' plan, she had no choice but to bite the bullet and make the trip.

About fifteen minutes later, Li Ruoshuang ran back. The twin sisters were of one mind, and Li Ruoxue knew that the matter had been settled!

It's perfectly normal to need to tidy up before your period, so Lin Yuesha didn't suspect anything and focused on painting.

"Miss Lin, everyone else is drawing flowers and plants, why did you draw a hen?"

The female teacher who taught calligraphy and painting stopped next to Lin Yuesha and asked a question.

The reason I painted in the backyard was to paint a corner of the garden, which could be considered a sketch, but there was no old hen in the garden.

"Sir, I don't know how I drew it."

Lin Yuesha awkwardly twitched her lips. Her mind had been filled with images of chicken: old hen soup, poached chicken, spicy chicken, roast chicken, chicken stew with mushrooms—dozens of recipes were circulating in her mind. She was drooling as she drew the hen.

If I say I'm craving chicken, will my husband spank my hand?

Lin Yuesha wanted to shrink her neck, but seeing that Granny Fang was there, she reminded herself to maintain her posture, as demeanor was more important.

“Very good. If you have the hen in your heart, you will naturally draw it. You don’t need your eyes, but your heart.”

The female teacher praised Lin Yuesha, saying that although she was a beginner, she was talented and could be nurtured.

The purpose of learning to paint is not to become a good painter, but to find enjoyment, cultivate one's character, and pass the time. Those who come to the women's school are all of a certain status; who makes money by selling calligraphy and paintings? There's no need to be demanding.

"Sir, how did you tell that this is a hen?"

The teacher who taught calligraphy and painting was the kindest in the girls' school. Zhao Fendie wasn't afraid of the teacher, so she just asked a question from the side.

"You young ladies who never lift a finger don't even know basic common sense: a rooster's comb is bigger, while a hen's is smaller."

The gentleman was interested in this topic. Once upon a time, her family was also a large chicken-raising household. It was through raising chickens that they made money. Otherwise, in these days, people valued sons over daughters, and who would have the spare money to spend on their daughters?

The female teacher was witty and humorous, and the young ladies all enjoyed chatting with her, making calligraphy and painting classes very relaxing.

At the end of the day, Lin Yuesha returned to her room in a good mood, but as soon as she got back, she immediately sensed that something was wrong.

None of the girls' rooms were locked, making it convenient for everyone to change clothes when they returned. Ever since the poisoning case at Changqing Academy, Lin Yuesha had been very vigilant, fearing that someone might attack her without her knowledge; one should always be on guard.

In the afternoon, everyone was in the garden. Bai Youran was right across from Lin Yuesha, and she was certain that Bai Youran had not returned.

Before leaving, Lin Yuesha, as usual, slipped a straw into the crack of the door, and the straw falling out proved that someone had been there.

Who came here secretly, and what is their purpose?

Lin Yuesha quietly returned to her room first, and upon looking around, she noticed that her package was slightly misplaced.

Someone came by and touched her package.

Lin Yuesha's heart was in her throat. She still had a few silver ingots in her bag for her cousin Chen Xiaohua's dowry. Could they be stolen by pickpockets?

Thinking of this, Lin Yuesha quickly stepped forward and opened the package. The moment she opened it, she was dumbfounded.

What? Not only did the silver ingot not get lost, but a ruby ​​gold bracelet has appeared!

Lin Yuesha stared intently, looking closely. The ruby ​​gold bracelet was right there. At that moment, the halo of the setting sun shone into the room through the Korean paper window, and the ruby ​​sparkled with dazzling brilliance, making people happy to look at it.

These should be a pair of gold bracelets, Lin Yuesha vaguely remembered seeing them at the Li family's twin sisters' place.

During the afternoon painting session, only Li Ruoshuang asked for leave and left. The ruby ​​and gold bracelet couldn't have grown legs and flown over, so it must have been Li Ruoshuang who placed it there. As for the purpose, it could only be to frame her.

It's ridiculous. If she wanted to marry Bai Dingfeng, she could ask her family to arrange the marriage. What kind of thing is it to frame her? Even if she had nothing to do with Bai Dingfeng and wasn't engaged, even if she were, if she fell, there would be thousands of others who would rise up. The choice of Bai Dingfeng's wife might not necessarily fall to the Li sisters.

If you're incompetent and pathetic, you think of framing others? Bah!

Lin Yuesha was furious. She had been so careful, yet she still couldn't escape it? Very well, she was just worried about not having enough money.

Upon discovering this, Lin Yuesha didn't want to play by the rules. She wouldn't go to Granny Fang to complain, but instead tried to keep the ruby ​​and gold bracelet.

Although she didn't know much about it, she knew it was quite valuable. By selling the gold bracelet, she could pay off the debts of the pockmarked man, cover Chen Xiaohua's dowry, and perhaps even keep some money for herself.

Lin Yuesha quickly moved the gold bracelet, intending to hide it first and then make the Li sisters lose out when they came looking for it!

Trying to outsmart her, huh? She's not afraid of that!

"Sister Yue Sha, why do you look so pale?"

When Bai Youran returned with water, she saw that Lin Yuesha's face was pale and asked with concern.

"Sister Bai, I'm hungry."

Lin Yuesha didn't tell Bai Youran not because Bai Youran was untrustworthy, but because if someone knew, the act wouldn't be as convincing.
