Gu Yanran's expression froze for a moment, then she forced a smile and said, "Sister, you are joking. This is my own thing. Why do I need my husband to tell me?"

Chu Qingniang said calmly, "If that's the case, then report it to the authorities!"

"It's just right. Let the officials see how Qi Che treated his wife harshly and was ungrateful."

Gu Yanran's face suddenly changed, and her fingers subconsciously tightened the handkerchief in her hand.

how so?

She is not afraid at all?

Shouldn't a normal woman feel nervous and scared when she hears that someone is going to report the incident to the police?

But why...

"You don't dare to say anything? Or is the loss of the jade pendant just a random excuse you made up?"

"I..." Gu Yanran was speechless for a moment, her eyes flickering.

Nanny Li on the side took half a step back and gathered her sleeves, looking like a guilty thief.

Nanny Li was hiding the jade pendant in her sleeve at this time. She had planned to put it directly into Zhixia's room when she entered the house to search, and then frame her.

But now that Chu Qingniang has taken the initiative to report to the authorities, how can she frame him?

As a result, Nanny Li's palms began to sweat from nervousness.

Chu Qingniang keenly noticed this unusual behavior.

She winked at Zhixia, who understood and, while no one was paying attention, slipped in front of Nanny Li.

Just as Nanny Li noticed a figure in front of her, the next second, she felt a pair of hands appear inside her sleeves.

Then, in full view of everyone, Zhixia reached out and took out the mutton-fat jade pendant from Nanny Li's sleeve.

In order to frame Zhixia, Gu Yanran spent a lot of money this time. She used the finest mutton-fat jade, which had a rich and soft color and was engraved with exquisite cloud patterns.

"Great! How dare you cry thief!"

Zhixia held the jade pendant in her hand, the anger in her eyes almost bursting out.

After being caught on the spot, Gu Yanran looked a little embarrassed.

She glared at Li Ma Ma secretly, then forced a smile and said, "So it was this cunning servant who hid it, causing me to misunderstand the young lady."

She turned to Chu Qingniang and said, "Sister, this is all a misunderstanding. I'll take them down now."

Gu Yanran winked at Nanny Li and the others, then turned around and was about to leave.

"stop!"

But Zhixia refused to do it!

She grabbed Li Ma'am's collar and sneered, "You've offended me, and it's all over with just a misunderstanding?"

"Aren't you going to report this to the police? Fine! I'll take this thief to the police right now!"

After Zhixia finished speaking, she lifted her foot and carried Nanny Li out.

The strong and healthy Nanny Li was now being held by Zhixia's collar, like a weak chicken, and she had no power to resist.

"No! Don't do that!" Nanny Li tried to hold the door frame and shouted.

"Madam, save me! Save me!"

Gu Yanran's eyes rolled, and she quickly came up with a look of deep sorrow, "You wicked slave! How dare you do such a thing under my nose?"

As she said that, she raised her hand and slapped Li Ma Ma in the face with a loud slap!

"Diao Nu, why don't you apologize to Miss Zhixia?"

Nanny Li was stunned after being beaten, and looked at Gu Yanran in a daze.

It was not until a servant beside her winked at her that Nanny Li came to her senses.

The next second, she suddenly knelt on the ground and kowtowed to Zhixia, "Miss Zhixia, I know I was wrong, please have mercy on me and forgive me this time!"

Zhixia looked at the master and servant singing the same tune and was not moved at all.

She looked at Nanny Li, who was lying on the ground, and said condescendingly, "Now I will give you two choices."

"First, you go to the prefectural government office and confess your guilt."

"Second, I will take you over, but by then, it will be more than just a simple confession."

"I heard that the boards in the government office can beat people to pieces, and the clamps can break all ten fingers. As for the whip, ugh, the feeling of being beaten by the whip..."

Upon hearing this, Nanny Li trembled all over and her face instantly turned as pale as paper.

Seeing this, Gu Yanran was afraid that Nanny Li would really be taken to the government office and say something she shouldn't, so she had to put on a smile and said, "Miss Zhixia, considering that Nanny Li is old and can't stand the hardship..."

"You're old?" Zhixia shook her hand away. "Why didn't you mention your age when you wanted to frame me just now?"

"Since you dare to do it, you must dare to take responsibility!"

Gu Yanran had no choice but to look at Chu Qingniang, "Sister, it's all because of my failure to discipline her that the servant has such thoughts. Please forgive this old woman for the sake of your husband. I promise to discipline her well in the future."

Chu Qingniang stood in the corridor, watching the scene quietly, neither stopping nor urging. The sunlight shone through the gaps in the leaves onto her white dress, making her look like a cold jade statue.

"In this world, not all mistakes are worth forgiving."

"Zhixia, send me to the official."

Just five short words, but they sounded like thunder.

Gu Yanran staggered back, her face as pale as death.

Nanny Li collapsed to the ground, with suspicious water stains seeping out from under her trouser legs.

Zhixia frowned in disdain, covering her nose and refusing to get closer.

Finally, she raised her hand and pointed to a servant, indicating that he should take Nanny Li and go to the government office to report to the authorities.

Due to Zhixia's fighting power, the servant had no choice but to bite the bullet and endure the nausea as he dragged Li Ma's body out by the collar like a dead dog.

"Go through the main entrance." Zhixia folded her arms and sneered, "Let everyone open their eyes."

On the way, some people who didn't know the situation asked what happened. Zhixia didn't hide it and said immediately: "This old woman has the master's jade pendant in her arms, but she wants to frame my young lady and ruin her reputation."
