Chapter 15 She Didn't Steal
Xiaohua looked desperate.
She had worked for the Qiao family for many years and liked them very much, but she never expected that one day she would be fired as a thief.
Everything in front of her eyes was dark.
"She didn't steal anything." Qiao Qingci said, "I saw her leave the living room yesterday."
Qiao Wenya immediately said, "Sister, maybe she took it before. People like her will do anything for money. Don't defend her."
Qiao Wenyan was also disgusted: "Just take him away!"
"Miss, I really didn't steal anything!" Xiaohua cried and grabbed Qiao Qingci's trouser legs.
Qiao Qingci looked at Qiao Wenya: "You said she stole your things, do you have any evidence?"
Qiao Wenya didn't expect Qiao Qingci to question her because of a servant. She felt a little uncomfortable: "The necklace was found in her room. Isn't that evidence? Sister... do you think I'm the kind of person who would wrongly accuse someone?"
As she spoke, Qiao Wenya lowered her eyes in grievance, and Qiao Wenyan looked at her with a bit of heartache.
Because of her dancing last night, Qiao Wenya's status in her heart suddenly rose.
Qiao Wenyan looked at Qiao Qingci: "Qingci, Wenya is your sister. You shouldn't talk to your sister like this just because of a servant!"
"Oh? Even if something is wrong, you can't point it out?" Qiao Qingci asked.
"Your sister is a very good person." Qiao Wenyan frowned. "We've been together for so many years and I know her very well. She wouldn't even step on an ant to death, let alone do something to wrongly accuse someone."
Qiao Wenya blamed herself: "Aunt, please stop talking. Don't let me alienate your relationship. My sister has been wronged for so many years. It doesn't matter what you say about me."
These words made Qiao Wenyan feel extremely distressed.
"She is indeed wronged, but her grievance is not caused by you." Qiao Wenyan comforted her, then looked at Qiao Qingci and said sternly: "Qiao Qingci, the Qiao family motto is unity and friendship. It was wrong for you to speak to Wen Ya like that just now. Apologize to your sister now!"
Mrs. Qiao couldn't help but frown, "Wen Yan, Qingci is just more rigorous, and there is no other meaning!"
"Even with all the evidence, she's still targeting Wen Ya!" Qiao Wenyan was somewhat dissatisfied with Mrs. Qiao's doting. Thinking of Qiao Wen Ya's grievances last night, her tone became a little heavy: "Sister-in-law, Wen Ya is also your child. You can't be so prejudiced against Wen Ya just because Qing Ci is back? When you adopted Wen Ya, you promised to treat her equally!"
Qiao Wenyan knew that her sister-in-law was a gentle and good-tempered person. How could she be like this? Could it be that Qiao Qingci said something behind her back?
Qiao Wenyan thought about it and looked at Qiao Qingci with a cold look.
Mrs. Qiao was furious. "Wen Yan, you're going too far. Wen Ya and Qing Ci are both my children. How could I be biased?"
"Then you deal with Xiaohua!" Qiao Wenyan said sternly and righteously, determined to seek justice for Qiao Wenya.
Mrs. Qiao frowned.
"But if Xiaohua didn't steal anything, wouldn't that be slander?" Qiao Qingci said indifferently, raising his eyebrows and looking at Qiao Wenya.
Qiao Wenya pursed her lips. "Sister, the evidence is so sufficient. If Xiaohua didn't steal anything, then I'll give her all my jewelry! I'll apologize to her in person! But what if she stole something?"
"Then I will apologize to you and give you all the clothes I bought yesterday." Qiao Qingci said directly.
Qiao Wenya's eyes flashed with surprise, but she still sighed, "Sister, I don't want to be like this with you, but... since you insist on doing this, okay, then let it be."
She looked very embarrassed.
Qiao Qingci didn't want to see her expression, so he looked at Xiaohua behind him: "You don't know that the necklace is in your room, right?"
Xiaohua's eyes were filled with tears: "Yes, I haven't even seen it!"
"Where is the necklace?" Qiao Qingci asked.
The housekeeper took out the necklace wrapped in a handkerchief. Qiao Qingci looked at it and asked, "Where did you find it?"
"In the cupboard in her room."
Qiao Wenya watched leisurely. She also wanted to see how Qiao Qingci would prove the innocence of a servant.
"Okay, let's call the police directly." Qiao Qingci.
Everyone was stunned, but Qiao Qingci continued, "Call the police and check for fingerprints. Xiaohua didn't touch the necklace, so there's no way her fingerprints are there."
Hearing this, Xiaohua looked surprised and said, "Yes, that's right, I haven't touched it!"
Qiao Wenyan couldn't help but frown, but Qiao Wenya said, "It's not certain that she didn't steal it. Maybe she prepared gloves in advance."
This may make sense.
Qiao Qingci asked, "When did you lose your necklace?"
"Yesterday, I looked this morning and found that it was gone." Qiao Wenya pursed her lips.
Qiao Qingci asked his servant to check the surveillance video.
Xiaohua went to the second floor yesterday, but went to Qiao Qingci's room to pack up her things, and then stayed in the living room.
There was no time to commit the crime.
Qiao Wenya whispered, "Although she didn't take the stairs later, there is a secluded staircase in our house that she knows about. Which staircase might she have taken? The surveillance camera in the living room is also broken. She could have easily come up from another place through the living room to commit the crime."
"I didn't, I really didn't!" Xiaohua cried, "Ms. Wen Ya, why on earth did you frame me?"
