Everyone gathered in front of the carriage. Jiang Xuejun ordered people to search the carriages, starting with Wanruo and Xie Xiulin's.
After searching around, I found nothing.
He got into Xie Xiuyun's carriage again. He had searched it roughly but found nothing. However, the woman who searched the carriage was very skilled. She knocked on the seat and found it was empty. After feeling around, she found the secret door. When she opened it, she found an oriental pearl inside.
"Found it!" The old woman got out of the car with the Dongzhu.
Xie Xiuyun's face instantly became extremely ugly.
She just held on to the last glimmer of hope, thinking that maybe the old woman couldn't find her, after all, she was hiding in a secluded place.
Available now...
Everyone exclaimed in surprise. They didn't expect that there would be such a reversal!
Wanruo said in a deep voice: "The pearl on Xiulin's body was given to her by Xing'er. Xing'er said that it was Miss Jiang who sent it to her and asked her to pass it on. Otherwise, why would Xiulin be so stupid as to carry the stolen property on herself? Isn't that rushing to give evidence of her crime to others?
I guess the person who stole the pearls was greedy for money but afraid of being caught, so he deliberately gave one to Xiulin, so that she could take the blame when the thief cried out "Catch the thief" later.
She stared at Xie Xiuyun: "Killing birds with one stone! I can get rid of the person I want to get rid of, and steal the Dongzhu without anyone noticing."
Everyone was in an uproar, looking at Xie Xiuyun with contempt and pointing fingers.
Prince Zheng also stepped forward and said, "I spoke to Miss Xu and Miss Xie Qi by the lake a quarter of an hour ago. That place is quite far from the water pavilion. I don't think they would have enough time to go back and forth to steal anything."
Xie Xiulin's eyes were red and she couldn't stop crying. She looked at Prince Zheng with gratitude.
Xie Xiuyun's face turned pale. She turned around and slapped Xing'er in the face: "Bitch! You were the one who stole the things, right?! You framed Seventh Miss, and you even wanted to frame me! I've been kind to you. It's just that last night you broke a cup and I scolded you a few times, and you held a grudge and wanted to plot revenge against me. How dare you steal things!"
Xing'er was slapped and fell to the ground. She was shocked and scared, but she didn't dare to refute. She could only kowtow repeatedly: "It was my fault. I know my crime, I know my crime!"
Wanruo sneered in her heart. Xie Xiuyun was quick to react. She pushed the blame onto the maid in just a few words. But this was just a forced way to save face and show off to others. Who would really believe it?
Xie Xiuzhu sneered, "It's easy to steal things these days. You can just steal something and then blame it on the maid. The maid's life is in your hands anyway, so she won't dare to argue."
"You!" Xie Xiuyun glared at her angrily.
Jiang Xuejun came out to smooth things over: "Never mind, it's just two beads. I didn't want to make such a fuss. We are sisters, why bother?"
Everyone knew the truth, so they just let it go and just watched the fun.
Wanruo supported Xie Xiulin: "I'll help Xiulin rest."
"Well, Sister Xiulin is frightened. Go drink some tea to calm down." Jiang Xuejun nodded.
Wanruo helped Xie Xiulin walk to the lake and sit down, but Xie Xiulin was still crying.
"It's all my fault. I shouldn't have accepted that Dongzhu. Xing'er is Xie Xiuyun's lover. I shouldn't have trusted her. How could I be so stupid?"
Wanruo patted her back gently: "Don't cry, isn't it okay now?"
"Sister Wanruo, why is she so cruel? I have been humble enough, why?!"
"That's just how people are. The strong prey on the weak."
Xie Xiulin wiped her tears and asked, "Then how did you know she hid the beads in the car?"
"I confiscated the pearl. It's rare for them to steal it, and even harder to keep it. But it would be a pity to throw it away. After all, the South Sea Pearl is rare. The three wives all rely on the monthly allowance from the mansion to make a living. Xie Xiuyun would not be willing to throw it away."
Moreover, Wanruo knew that there was a secret compartment in her carriage. Wanruo had also ridden in the carriage of the Third Madam. After all, the Third Madam treated her as a maid. Once, she took her out and asked her to choose high-quality tonics. She discovered the secret after riding in it once.
Xie Xiuyun was reluctant to throw it away, and it was impossible for her to hide it on her body. When she went out, this secret compartment was the safest place.
Xie Xiuyun sobbed and said, "I miss home."
Wanruo took a look at the sky, thought for a moment, and said, "Then you go first. I still want to buy some medicinal herbs from the market."
Xie Xiuyun wiped her tears and nodded with sobs: "Hey, hurry up."
"Then I'll go first, Chunmian, take care of your girl."
"yes."
Wanruo then got up and left. She said goodbye to Jiang Xuejun before getting on the carriage and leaving.
As the carriage slowly drove away from Taiming Lake, the driver asked, "Miss, are you from the Xie Mansion?"
"I'll go to the market to buy some herbs first, and then take me to Suzaku Street."
"Hey."
Wanruo leaned against the wall of the car, closed her eyes, and thought to herself that since it was rare for her to leave the house, it was time to meet Lin Han.
At the same time, a fast horse came galloping, and the man on the horse was wearing a silver-gray robe, a silver crown and a hair tie. His half-covered black hair was flying in the wind, bright and clear, like a shooting star across the day and night.
