"Your Highness, something terrible has happened! There's been an incident in the front hall!"
Just as Li Youran and the other two were having a great time chatting, Xiao Hong came running over in a panic.
It turns out that the bracelet that the Second Prince's wife had placed on the table in the front hall had suddenly disappeared. Now the front hall was in chaos, and all the women were eager to prove their innocence.
"Ladies and young ladies, please forgive me. If it were an ordinary bracelet, it would be fine to lose it. But this bracelet is a gift from Her Majesty the Empress, and it is very precious. Therefore, I had no choice but to search you ladies."

"Anyone here who hasn't been searched?"
As the Second Prince's wife spoke, she glanced at the women. After looking around, her gaze settled on Hu Qinqin.
"The Second Prince's Consort hasn't searched me yet, why don't you let the matron search me?"
