Chapter 356 directly states that Cen Yan stole something.
“No.” Cen Yan glanced coldly at Zhu Shuixian. She had never seen “Zhu Shuixian’s jade bracelet and gold bracelet.” All she had taken were her mother’s dowry from her belongings.
Zhu Shuixian was unwilling to give up: "Think about it again! It was still on the dressing table before you went to the Ji Mo family. After you went to the Ji Mo family, my things disappeared. Did you really go to the Ji Mo family as a guest?"
"What? Aunt Zhu is trying to shift the topic and cover up the matter of Zhu Dehai framing me for cheating by accusing someone of stealing?" Cen Yan raised an eyebrow. "Why would you think I need your bracelet?"
"I didn't mean you stole anything..."
"Then what do you mean!"
These words were shouted by Chang Le when he could no longer bear it.
"Yanyan married Jingchuan. He has a high salary and high allowances. What can't Yanyan buy? Why would she go to your house to steal your bracelet? Besides, she didn't even go to your house. What, these days, anyone within ten miles of your house is considered a thief?"
"Zhu Rongguo, your cousin is putting on airs. Our two families can't have any more dealings in the future, lest they lose something one day and we become thieves!"
Chang Le's meaning was essentially that he wanted to sever all ties with Zhu Shuixian and Shan Jianhua.
Zhu Shuixian's expression changed, and she looked at Chang Le with great anger.
This bitch, whose side is she really on? She's just her best friend's son and daughter-in-law, coming over for a meal.
Why would she fawn over her cousin like that, and sever ties with her for the sake of two outsiders?
Zhu Shuixian didn't want to say anything more, so she turned cold and bluntly stated her point.
“Cen Yan, I originally wanted to save you some face and not make things so ugly, but now that you're ungrateful, Aunt Zhu is unwilling to say any more. I'll give you one more chance. Return what you took, otherwise I'll have to report it to the law enforcement team. If they investigate, your husband's position as regimental commander might be in jeopardy!”
The people inside weren't fools, especially since Zhu Shuixian had already made herself very clear.
She meant that Cen Yan stole her jade bracelet, and Zhu Shuixian likely had evidence!
Cen Yan remained calm and composed: "Aunt Zhu, I was quite worried about you losing your things. How about this, tell me about the bracelet you lost, what exactly it looked like? I was a guest at Ji Mo's house that day, maybe Aunt Zhu can describe it in more detail and I can remember who left your house."
"There are two bracelets in total, one jadeite and one gold bracelet. The jadeite bracelet is icy green with floating flowers, and it has some minor flaws. The gold bracelet has a hollowed-out phoenix and peony design!"
Zhu Shuixian was glad that she loved the two bracelets so much that she remembered every detail clearly.
Even if Cen Yan doesn't admit it, she has plenty of ways to make this thief who stole her things obediently return everything that belongs to her, hmph!
Cen Yan sneered at the indignant Zhu Shuixian and clicked her tongue: "An icy jadeite bangle with floating green flowers, a gold bangle with openwork technique, Qi Jingchuan, if I remember correctly, openwork technique is very rare on the market now, even if you could buy such a bangle, how much would it cost?"
"Even the most flawed jadeite is still icy jadeite, and a single bracelet from it will cost at least four figures! The value of a hollowed-out gold bracelet goes without saying; it's an intangible cultural heritage technique, and two bracelets together would cost at least five thousand yuan!"
Qi Jingchuan continued, following his wife's words. In the short time they went out, his wife had already told him everything.
He never expected that Zhu Shuixian and Shan Jianhua would be so audacious as to try to take possession of the dowry that his mother-in-law had left for his wife!
Touching his wife's personal belongings is a death wish!
