Chapter 186: Cherish the fragrance and cherish the jade
When Yanyu saw Su Chenyu, her flustered heart immediately calmed down. She believed that Su Chenyu would be able to clear her name.
"䭹㹏, I have never touched this golden hairpin before. Please understand." Yanyu spoke again.
Yao immediately said, "Xiao, this golden hairpin is very valuable. The prince consort can really say anything to protect you."
Yao didn't believe that a maid would look down on this golden hairpin. It must be that Bai Yanqing was talking nonsense just to clear Yanyu of the crime and prevent Su Chenyu from being implicated.
"Yao Tingyi, you are a businessman, you should know Liang Jin, right?"
Yao Ting didn't understand why Su Chenyu suddenly mentioned Liang Jin, but she still answered honestly: "Of course I know. It's hot in the summer, and wearing Liang Jin clothes will make you feel extra cool."
Liang brocade is hard to come by and even more expensive. Yao Tingyi managed to get a piece of it some time ago and has been thinking about making herself a set of clothes to wear.
"The people around me wear clothes made of Liangjin and wear Liangyu. How could they possibly steal your gold hairpin?"
After Su Chenyu's reminder, Yao Ting discovered that the clothes on Yanyu were actually made of Liangjin.
Then, Yao Ting's eyes fell on Yanyu's waist. Sure enough, there was a cool jade hanging around her waist.
Cool brocade and cool jade are especially loved by dignitaries in summer. Compared with these two things, the gold hairpin is not even worthy of mention.
Even Yao Tingyu could not bear this kind of dimensionality reduction attack.
The precious things that she had worked so hard to obtain were nothing at all in the eyes of others, which hurt Yao Ting's pride.
Yao's face also turned ugly. It was like someone who was used to feasting lavishly, but now he was trying to steal your simple meals. If this were to be told to others, it would really become a joke, and he would be asking for humiliation.
"Xiao, it is a fact that the golden hairpin fell out of Miss Yanyu's body."
Even now, Yao was still stubborn and could not admit that she was wrong. Once she admitted it, the consequences would be disastrous.
Su Chenyu ignored her and asked Zhu Yi to take the hairpin. She took it and asked, "Ms. Yao Ting, please look carefully. Is this hairpin yours?"
Yao Ting couldn't help it anymore and knelt on the ground: "Oh, it's my fault. This hairpin is not mine."
"Yao, did you hear that?"
Facing Su Chenyu's questioning, Yao was unable to utter a word. The entire back garden was silent for an entire hour, and everyone was waiting for Yao's answer.
After a long while, Yao said tremblingly, "I heard it."
"Yao, you are the one who manages the people in Baili Mansion, but I didn't expect you to be so incompetent and unable to distinguish right from wrong. Today, you even want to throw dirty water on the maidservant next to me. Then I will teach you a lesson: you can eat whatever you want, but you can't say whatever you want."
Su Chenyu paused for a moment, then continued, "Slap her thirty times. Let her remember this lesson."
Yao knelt on the ground, looking up at Su Chenyu in disbelief: "Xiao Niu, I am your elder after all, you can't do anything to me."
"As the Prince of Dayu, don't I have the right to discipline you?"
As soon as Su Chenyu finished speaking, Yao fell silent.
Bai Yanqing glanced at Zhu Yi, who walked directly in front of Yao and hit her thirty times in the face, left and right.
