Chapter 369: Making Trouble Again
Ye Caiping also saw Li Jiaojiao.
Ye Jin'er and her two sisters frowned.
Ye Caiping raised her eyebrows and smiled, then quickly stepped forward and said, "Oh, so you are the Third Miss of the Duke of Ping's Mansion. Welcome, welcome."
Li Jiaojiao choked. What did she welcome?
Do I need her to welcome me here?
This Ye is so sarcastic... She is here to expose her!
She has to strike first!
what to do? How could she drive out all those bitches from the Ye family?
Li Jiaojiao was anxious, her face was cold, her heart was beating fast with anxiety, her eyes fell on Ye Caiping, she scanned her body, suddenly an idea came to her, she covered her mouth and exclaimed:
"Ah, isn't this my jade hairpin? How did it end up on your head? The last time I came back from the teahouse, this hairpin disappeared. It turns out you picked it up! Not only did you not return it, you even put it on! Your behavior is simply stealing!"
This exclamation stunned Xiaolu who was standing beside him.
What is going on?
His eyes fell on Ye Caiping's head, and he saw a jade hairpin on her head, which was translucent in water color and obviously worth a lot of money.
Not only Li Jiaojiao, but even the Duke's wife doesn't have a jade hairpin with such good water content.
And she was very sure that Li Jiaojiao did not have this hairpin!
It was fine, how come it just appeared? And it’s worn on Ye Yiren’s head!
Xiaolu understood instantly that the young lady was making trouble again!
Xiaolu's face turned green instantly, just like her name, Little Green.
"Miss..." She pulled Li Jiaojiao carefully.
"Get lost!" Li Jiaojiao glared at her and stared at Ye Caiping: "Ye Caiping, you stole my hairpin!"
Li Jiaojiao's scream attracted all the guests to gather around, and they all looked at each other in surprise.
Such an important banquet, and there was a thief?
One of the noble ladies was shocked and whispered to her little sister: "Isn't this... Ye Yiren? I ran into her when I met the old lady just now."
"Shh, keep your voice down, don't say anything, just watch the show." The voice was full of teasing.
Ye Yiren is the future second wife of the Marquis's Mansion. How could this unfamiliar girl actually point fingers at someone else and steal her things on his territory?
Either he is stupid or he doesn't know Ye Caiping's identity.
No one can afford to offend the Shen family now! Including three regents!
The guests who knew about it wanted to watch the show, while those who didn't also watched the fun with curiosity.
Ye Jin'er and Ye Huan'er had strange expressions on their faces and looked at Li Jiaojiao as if she were a fool.
Ye Caiping played along with her and was amused: "What evidence do you have?"
Li Jiaojiao sulked and snorted, "I am the evidence. I, Li Jiaojiao, am the adopted daughter of the Duke of Pingguo. The Duke of Pingguo is my adopted father, and the Duke's wife is my adopted mother!"
"Ye Caiping, even if you have a title, you are only a small seventh-rank concubine. You can't afford a hairpin with such a water head! You can't buy it!"
"How could I, a young lady from the Duke's Mansion, wrongly accuse you? I, Li Jiaojiao, swear on the reputation of the Duke Ping's Mansion that if this is false, I, Li Jiaojiao...will not die a hapless death!"
If swearing was useful, Li Zhiyuan would have died hundreds of times!
So Li Jiaojiao is not afraid of swearing.
And in the current situation, she has no choice but to swear!
As she spoke, she looked around at the people around her.
Except for the one or two people who had just met Ye Caiping when they came to pay their respects, no one present recognized Ye Caiping.
After hearing what Li Jiaojiao said, they were all stunned: "The wife of Duke Ping adopted an adopted daughter. I have heard about this."
"A young lady from the Duke's Mansion would never joke about her family's reputation!"
Seeing that everyone around her was on her side, Li Jiaojiao felt proud and stared coldly at Ye Caiping. See? This is what different status means, which brings different treatments!
"Jiaojiao!" At this time, the wife of the Duke came over with Nanny Yu and daughter-in-law Qiao.
Seeing the crowd of people, he was shocked and his eyes fell on Ye Caiping: "You again? How did you get in?"
Li Jiaojiao's heart was beating fast, and she was afraid that Ye Caiping would say something, so she pointed at Ye Caiping's head and said, "She stole my jade hairpin!"
Nanny Yu was confused. All of Li Jiaojiao's jewelry had passed through her hands. She frowned and said, "Miss, I remember..."
"Shut up, if Jiaojiao says it's hers, then it's hers! It must be hers!" The Duke's wife believed Li Jiaojiao without hesitation.
As she spoke, the Duke's wife raised her chin and said, "I've known for a long time that you have evil intentions, and now you're even a thief!"
When these words were spoken, all the guests present were shocked. Even the Duke's wife said this?
Did this woman really steal someone else's jade hairpin?
Li Jiaojiao looked at this one-sided scene and felt even more proud. She said anxiously, "Someone, throw her out of the mansion!"
But after the words fell, no one responded.
Li Jiaojiao looked a little embarrassed, and then she remembered that this was not her home.
Gritting his teeth, he said, "Xiaolu, Nanny Yu, go find the old lady and tell her that someone has stolen something and offended our distinguished guests! Let's see if they can handle it or not!"
At the last sentence, everyone around him gasped.
Even the person who had just stood on Li Jiaojiao's side was almost choked by his own saliva.
Her tone made it seem as if Dingguo Marquisate was inferior to her...
That’s the Marquis Dingguo’s Mansion! Now the whole capital city recognizes the second and no one dares to acknowledge the existence of the first!
"Jiaojiao..." Lady Pingguo was a little frightened.
Jiaojiao's tone was indeed excessive, but she was a little girl and was just angry for the moment. Said to Yu Mama:
"Go and inform the Marquis' wife and tell her that there was an accident here. But it's not a big deal, just ask her to send a servant over."
Nanny Yu frowned and looked at Ye Caiping with guilt and worry.
She felt that Ye Caiping was wronged, and on the contrary, it was the Third Young Lady who had evil intentions.
But the lady might have been drugged by the third young lady and she protected her without knowing right or wrong.
She is just a servant...
Nanny Yu sighed softly and was about to turn around and leave when a cold voice came over:
"What happened?"
The man was wearing a light blue brocade robe and a silver crown to tie his hair. He looked handsome, leisurely, yet extremely noble. It was Shen Zhiyan.
Seeing him, the guests around were startled, and then they all made way for him.
Shen Zhiyan walked to Ye Caiping and asked, “What’s wrong?”
The Duke's wife was originally happy to see Shen Zhiyan, and was about to report Ye Caiping's theft to him.
Unexpectedly, Shen Zhiyan actually took the initiative to talk to Ye Caiping!
Everyone knows that Mr. Shen is dignified and polite, but he is also the most arrogant and usually doesn't like to talk to people.
Does he know this Ye Caiping?
The Duke's wife looked a little unhappy.
Ye Caiping originally wanted to wait for the servants of the Shen family to come and give Li Jiaojiao and her daughter a good slap in the face.
Who would have thought that he would arrive first!
Ye Caiping smiled and said, "Nothing, just a little thing. The third young lady of the Duke of Ping said that I stole her hairpin."
As he spoke, he gently stroked the hairpin on his head.
Shen Zhiyan's eyes turned cold, and he looked at Li Jiaojiao: "Miss Li, right? How come the hairpin that Shen gave to Caiping suddenly became yours?"
Li Jiaojiao always felt that the atmosphere was weird since Chen Zhiyan came!
She recognized this man! It seems to be Ye Xuan’s husband.
He was present at Ye Xuan’s scholar banquet last time.
She was very surprised at that time. How could such a handsome man be on Ye Caiping's side?
Li Jiaojiao's face darkened and she shouted coldly, "How dare you! This is obviously my hairpin! How can I, the third daughter of the Duke's Mansion, wrongly accuse her?"
"Hmph, Ye, you sneaked into the Marquis's birthday party and even brought your family with you, including your daughter and niece! You are so poor that you are crazy! That's fine, but you even brought your mistress in! How shameless you are!"
