Chapter 336 Go ahead and pretend, huh?

Zhao Fundie couldn't stand the Li sisters playing the victim, saying that they would give silver if they handed over the bracelet, which made it seem like she was convinced that someone had stolen it.

“Li Ruoshuang, you said it yourself, the gold bracelet is lost and can’t be found. It’s possible that you put it somewhere and didn’t remember where. Even if it is really lost, it may be lost somewhere.”

Zhao Fundie, always outspoken, couldn't help but ask bluntly, "What do you mean by that? Are you implying that one of us stole your gold bracelet?"

It's wrong to assume someone stole something just because you lost it, without any evidence. Is it really appropriate to jump to conclusions so early?

Zhao Fendie's words brought the young ladies back to their senses. That's right, the group had been at the girls' school for some time and had never heard of anyone losing anything. Perhaps Li Ruoshuang had accidentally lost it, rather than it being stolen.

As daughters of officials, they must be responsible for their words and actions. They come to the girls' school only to learn the rules, and they must never lose sight of the rules.

"Well said!"

Granny Fang gave Zhao Fendie an approving look. Her awareness showed that Zhao Fendie was well-behaved. On the contrary, the Li sisters cried and made a fuss after losing their things, disturbing everyone's sleep in the middle of the night, which was inappropriate.

"My dear sisters, I am truly sorry."

Li Ruoxue glared at Zhao Fendie with resentment. This little brat was simply a stumbling block for the two sisters. They couldn't do anything to her, but don't forget, Zhao Fendie's father had a lower official position than her father, so it would be easy for him to cause trouble for her.

After Zhao Fundie stirred up trouble, causing others to have opinions against the two sisters, which infuriated Li Ruoxue. She gave Li Ruoshuang a wink, and Li Ruoshuang immediately understood and said, "The ruby ​​bracelet is very precious to us sisters. I searched for it from afternoon until midnight, and I was so anxious because I couldn't find it. I had no choice but to tell Granny Fang."

Li Ruoshuang wiped away her tears. The ruby ​​bracelet was her favorite piece of jewelry, and the thought of losing it made her unable to hold back her tears.

"I saw you wearing that ruby ​​bracelet this morning."

Zhao Jingya, who had been silent, spoke up. She didn't want to go against the Li sisters because of this. After all, the Li sisters were used to being unreasonable and troublesome. If she got stuck with these two leeches, she would definitely suffer.

"That's right. When I came back from my day break and was tidying up, I put the bracelet in my own bag to keep it clean."

Someone handed her a ladder, and Li Ruoshuang continued her performance, but the implication was that someone had entered the sisters' room and stolen the bracelet.

"So you mean that one of us is a pickpocket?"

Zhao Fundie reiterated, "Since I'm being suspected, you can come and search my room anytime. I'm innocent, so what do I have to be afraid of?"

The Li sisters' words only fueled Zhao Fendie's suspicions; she feared the two were plotting against someone else. She and the two sisters had always been at odds, so she was likely the one being framed.

Zhao Fendie was worried, but she was still the first to express her opinion. If she found out that she had been framed, she could go to Granny Fang to complain.

"Let's search, that way we can go to bed earlier."

Bai Youran frowned, glancing at Li Ruoshuang suspiciously, sensing something was amiss. Back in the capital, it wasn't uncommon for sisters to frame each other, and the framed person often couldn't clear their name no matter how hard they tried. Now, opposing the house search would arouse suspicion.

Lin Yuesha watched everyone put on an act, then shrank back a step, head bowed and silent.

Granny Fang already knew the truth. She had just taken a sip of water when she saw Lin Yuesha's actions, and she almost spat the water out of her mouth.

Go ahead and pretend, you've already swindled the Li sisters out of their gold bracelets, and you're still acting all timid and fearful. Now Li Ruoxue and Li Ruoshuang will definitely believe you without a doubt. This search has offended all the young ladies.

"Sister, I think we should forget about it."

A sarcastic smile appeared on Li Ruoxue's lips. She was even more convinced that Lin Yuesha had already discovered the gold bracelet, but because of her selfishness, she had not handed it over.

Now that they've found out, let's see how Lin Yuesha can face staying at the girls' school. Bai Youran will also stop associating with a woman of questionable character.

However, it was Zhao Fendie who suggested searching the house, and Li Ruoxue pretended to hesitate, shifting the blame for offending people onto Zhao Fendie.

“Li Ruoxue, you clearly intend to look for us sisters in our room, so stop pretending.”

Zhao Fundie was utterly disgusted, but because Granny Fang was present, she couldn't say anything even more offensive. What if they found it in her room later, and she kept stopping them from looking? That would only further prove that she had taken the gold bracelet!

"But wouldn't this have too many repercussions? That's not a good idea."

Lin Yuesha mustered her courage and stood up to object. In any case, searching the ladies' rooms was a very disrespectful act, listing everyone as a suspect.

Now that she had the chance, Lin Yuesha quickly stepped forward to win everyone's favor. It didn't cost her any money; it only took a few words. No one knew the whereabouts of the gold bracelet better than her.

However, Li Ruoshuang interpreted Lin Yuesha's opposition as a sign of guilt, and she had no reason to let Lin Yuesha off the hook. As long as the little bitch's reputation was ruined, the marriage alliance with the Bai family would fall to her older sister, Li Ruoxue.

"Lin Yuesha, are you feeling guilty? If you take the gold bracelet and hand it over to us sisters, this matter will be over."

Li Ruoshuang gave a forced smile, directing her criticism at Lin Yuesha.

Granny Fang watched coldly, becoming increasingly convinced that the Li sisters were foolish and thought themselves clever, never expecting that they had framed a cunning little fox.

Now, not only have they lost face and substance, but they've also lost both money and reputation.

"You... are not me!"

In her desperation, Lin Yuesha squeezed out two tears, hugging herself tightly and looking pitiful. She trembled and, after a while, finally couldn't hold back anymore, choking out, "I didn't take the bracelet. I just felt it was inappropriate."

Among the young ladies at the girls' school, all came from prominent families, while she was the only one of ordinary people with little wealth. If the Li sisters suspected her, they should target her directly and not implicate innocent people.

Lin Yuesha never imagined that she would have such superb acting skills. She was very excited at the moment. The thought of the money she was about to receive would not only make her debt-free but also solve the problem of paying for Chen Xiaohua's makeup. She couldn't help but shed tears. Even the mean faces of the Li sisters seemed so cute.

Zhao Fendie couldn't bear to see Lin Yuesha so humble. She said that Lin Yuesha was only thinking of everyone.

"Sister Lin, you don't need to do this. These two made such a scene because they wanted to search the house, but they were too embarrassed to say it directly, so they used a provocation."

Zhao Fendie understood perfectly and guessed the true purpose of the Li sisters. She believed that the two sisters were after her.

Bai You then belatedly glanced at Lin Yuesha, a faint smile playing on her lips. Dealing with intelligent people is never tiring. At first, she genuinely couldn't understand the Li sisters' true intentions, but as Li Ruoxue kept putting on an act of magnanimity in front of her, Bai You suddenly understood.
