Chapter 159 Envy
After saying that, Xie Boyu pointed at Xie Jingyuan, signaling him to quickly throw the broken gong in Zheng Shu's hand away.
When his father spoke, Xie Xuchuan dared not disobey, but if he did, his second uncle's theft of the Yuanzhu dyeing manual would be exposed to everyone...
Xie Xuchuan pursed his lips and looked at Xie Sanniang with a troubled expression.
Xie San Niang waved her hand, already following him.
Now that things have come to this, what's the point of hiding anything?
Xie Xuchuan glanced at everyone and breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that Shen Yuanzhu was not there.
But when he turned around and saw Ms. Luo in the corner, his face couldn't help but tighten.
There are some things I just can't say.
Xie Boyu frowned and asked again.
Xie Xuchuan hesitated and refused to speak, but Zheng Shu rolled over and got up from the ground.
"Brother, there's really nothing to ask about this. It's just that Yuanzhu lost her dyeing recipe a few days ago, and then Xuchuan took the recipe to the dyeing workshop to experiment with the dyeing method. As a result, in less than half a day, the dye in the dye vat turned into a murky jar, just like a soy sauce vat."
"What?"
Xie Boyu was shocked: "You stole Yuanzhu's dyeing recipe?"
Xie Xuchuan hurriedly waved his hand.
His second aunt is always good at twisting the truth; she's making it sound as if he stole Yuanzhu's dyeing recipe.
Xie Xuchuan glanced at Xie Sanniang, who was resting with her eyes closed, gritted his teeth, and said coldly, "It was Second Uncle who took Yuanzhu's dyeing recipe, and then..."
"Then my grandmother handed it over to me, and asked me to go to the dyeing workshop to experiment with the dyeing method, and the result was..."
Xie Boyu said, "You all know that Cheng Zhi stole Yuan Zhu's dyeing recipe?"
Before his surprise had subsided, Hua Nanzhi asked directly, "What happened in the end?"
"As a result, half of the dye solution in the dye vat has become turbid today."
"How could this happen? Has someone tampered with it?"
Xie Xuchuan shook his head: "There's too little time, and the child has been watching over the weaving and dyeing garden the whole time, so no one has had a chance to do anything."
What puzzled Xie Xuchuan even more was that both vats of "Tian Shui Bi" had become flower-covered, and only for a few short hours.
Logically speaking, even if there was a problem with that dyeing formula, it shouldn't have become turbid so quickly.
The Xie family has not been completely ignorant of dyeing methods over the years; in any case, that method should not have been used on a flowerpot.
He, along with Manager Wu and the old dyer from the weaving and dyeing garden, pondered the problem for a long time but couldn't figure it out, so they had no choice but to go home and tell their grandmother.
When Xie San Niang found out, she had someone summon Xie Chengzhi and asked him if he had given a fake dyeing manual.
And then things...
That's how it's turned out.
No one cared about Xie Chengzhi at the moment, and Hua Nanzhi also said, "It shouldn't be like the dye has run into problems so quickly."
"Yes, I can't find the reason either."
As he spoke, he turned to look at Xie Chengzhi.
Seeing this, Zheng Shu became unhappy and shouted, "Why are you looking at us? Do you think we changed the dye?"
"I think it's because your skills are too poor!"
Zheng Shu put her hands on her hips and pointed at Xie Xuchuan: "You've been the apple of my eye all your life, but what have you ever done in the dyeing and weaving workshop?"
"It's not that Second Aunt is being mean, but even if you were just stomping on hemp in the garden, would you be able to tell the difference?"
Xie Xuchuan blushed and began to doubt himself.
Manager Wu and Old Zhu examined the dyeing formula and it didn't seem to have any problems. Even if it couldn't produce "Sky Blue" in the end, the vat shouldn't have become murky so quickly.
Judging by that, let alone the crystal clear water in seven days, it's likely that by then it will be stinking.
Stop making up stories that aren't true.
Hua Nanzhi said, "Even if Xu Chuan has little experience, there is still Manager Wu and a group of old weavers and dyers in the garden."
"If Xu Chuan did something wrong, they would naturally point it out. How could he have made such a big mistake?"
Upon hearing this, Zheng Shu exclaimed, "So you're convinced that what we handed over was a fake dyeing chart?"
He and his wife knew perfectly well whether the dyeing manual they had submitted was genuine or fake. They were naturally unwilling to be wrongly accused.
What kind of people are Xie Chengzhi and his wife? They're the kind of people who will make trouble even when there's nothing to say, let alone now that they've been unjustly accused.
Zheng Shu pulled at her clothes and tugged at her sleeves, as if she was ready to fight.
"Stop arguing."
Xie Chengzhi dusted off the dust on his clothes and said calmly, "The dyeing manual was fake from the moment I got it."
"What I handed over was the genuine dyeing manual."
"Second Uncle."
Xie Xuchuan gritted his teeth: "Are you saying that the dyeing chart in Yuanzhu's possession is fake?"
"yes."
"Second Uncle!"
Xie Xuchuan's eyes were filled with disappointment.
His second uncle was a playful person. His father was strict when he was young, and he was also very strict in disciplining him, forbidding him from climbing trees or going into the water, which deprived him of many joys.
It was his second uncle who took him to fly kites, set off firecrackers, and play water-throwing games every day.
Before his second uncle got married, he was the kindest person in the world to him.
But how did his second uncle become like this?
Xie Xuchuan was heartbroken: "How could you take Yuanzhu's things and then falsely accuse her?"
"Why would she prepare a bunch of fake dye samples and keep them in her room? Is she waiting for you to come and steal them, and then frame her?"
"Xu Chuan, then what do you mean?"
Xie Chengzhi looked directly at Xie Xuchuan: "You think Second Uncle wants to keep the 'Shen Family Dyeing Manual' to himself and refuse to share it with the family, right?"
"..."
After he said that, everyone fell silent.
Mr. Luo even nodded in agreement.
After saying that, Xie Chengzhi also felt that something was wrong.
His previous instruction to Mianhe to steal the dyeing recipe for Chenyuan Pearl was indeed intended to be kept secret.
But now that he sees no one in his family believes him, Xie Chengzhi is also burning with anger.
"That dyeing formula was the bait that Shen Yuanzhu used to lure me, this big fish. I was stupid and greedy, and I took the bait just because I smelled it."
"But I'm telling you right now, this dyeing recipe was fake the moment it came from that damned Shen Yuanzhu's hands!"
Xie Chengzhi shouted until he was hoarse, but very few people in the Xie family believed him, except for Jiang Wansu.
Jiang Wansu lowered her head, gently stroking her belly, smiling without saying a word.
It seems that the dyeing manual she copied in her room can be thrown into the trash can now.
That thing must be fake.
"impossible."
Xie Xuchuan was still desperately defending Shen Yuanzhu, but when he turned around, he saw the person he had been longing for standing silently in the corner.
I don't know when they entered the house.
He looked up, hoping to see some emotion in Yuanzhu's eyes, but he saw nothing but the wound on her lips.
The wound looked like it had just been bitten; it was slightly red and had faint teeth marks on it.
Xie Xuchuan's eyes suddenly reddened as he watched.
