Quan Ge'er looked confused. He agreed and thought about going to his mother. But when he saw Xie Wanyun's cold face, he shrank back in fear.
The lady had been so cold to him these past few days! She barely even looked at him straight in the eye. Quan Ge'er felt really bad. He would rather the lady scolded him like he had done before, or even punished him. He didn't want her to treat him like air like she was doing now.
Quan Ge'er didn't understand what was wrong. He felt he had done nothing wrong. Except, except... stealing the key. Did the lady notice? Was that why she was angry with him?
But isn’t that key his mother Liu Yuner’s?
Quan Ge'er was puzzled. Early that morning, the lady suddenly sent someone to call him over. He was secretly happy that the lady finally paid attention to him again.
As a result, the lady brought him to the Marquis of Yuanxing's mansion without saying a word.
The scene before him completely stunned the child.
"Brother Quan, is this the key you took from my room that day?" There was a key in Xie Wanyun's open palm.
"Yes, my mother said she left it at the eldest lady's place..." Quan Ge'er suddenly realized what he had said, his eyes widened in disbelief.
"Master He, the matter is very clear. That day, the Qin family instructed this child to steal my key, copy it, and forge a new one. Last night, they took advantage of the opportunity to sneak into my house and steal. It hasn't even been two hours, and the stolen items should not have been moved in time. They must still be in the mansion. Please order a search!"
Xie Wanyun looked at him and said calmly.
Every member of the Qin family was ashen-faced. Liu Yun'er, in particular, was trembling like a sieve. They had never expected Xie Wanyun to show up so soon, before they had time to deal with anything!
It was she who came up with the idea and she who ordered the people. Only then did she understand why when she talked about this matter that day, Old Lady Qin and Mrs. Wei had remained silent, neither agreeing nor disagreeing.
It turns out they had it all planned out long ago! Once the truth came out, they could plead ignorance and clear themselves of all charges. She still thought she was so clever and cunning.
It turns out she was the dumbest one! She was being used as a pawn and still felt complacent.
He Jincheng waved his hand and gave a curt order: "Go in and search!"
The yamen runners responded loudly, turned around and rushed into each room, searching carefully.
Qin Su'an was about to say something, but He Jincheng glanced at him coldly and said, "My Lord, please be patient. If it wasn't your fault, I will clear your name."
Qin Su'an's forehead was covered in sweat. Those things were still packed in the bag in his bedroom, and he hadn't had time to clean them up. Now he couldn't escape.
It was over. Who would have thought that the dignified Marquis of Yuanxing had become a thief? What would happen next? A beating? Exile? Or hard labor?
He can't bear all that hardship. Will he die on the road of exile? Will he die of exhaustion?
Qin Suan's heart felt like it was pounding on his feet, and he had difficulty breathing.
Madam Qin suddenly coughed heavily. Qin Su'an subconsciously looked up at her. She shifted her gaze to Liu Yun'er, then looked back at him and nodded gently.
Qin Su'an suddenly realized! He was so anxious that he couldn't think of how to respond. It was the old lady who was clear-headed.
"Sir, we found it. It's all here. Please check it." The head of the yamen runners came hurriedly to report, holding the big bag in his hand.
Qin Su'an had calmed down by now and pretended to be surprised. "Hey, what is this? I've never seen it before."
He Jincheng didn't even look at him, but dumped all the documents and jewelry onto the table. The jewelry jingled and rolled all over the table.
Xie Wanyun stepped forward, took a closer look, and said loudly, "Sir, this is exactly the item I lost. Please understand!"
"My Lord, what do you say? The things were found in your bedroom." He Jincheng stared at Qin Su'an with bright eyes.
"I really don't know this!" Qin Su'an was shocked, spread his hands, and even his eyes were blank.
It has to be said that the Qin family is extremely talented in acting.
He Jincheng was also a little unsure. After all, this man was a marquis, and although he had long since fallen on hard times, he couldn't be tortured like a commoner.
