Zeng Fang was straightforward and poured everything in the bag onto the ground, even throwing the bag onto the ground.

"You go find it."

Yun Yao searched Zeng Fang's bag inside and out but couldn't find the jade pendant. She looked up at Zeng Fang unwillingly.

Zeng Fang said angrily, "Why, are you still going to search me? If you can't find anything, will you kowtow to me and apologize?"

Things got to this point, Jiang Yu had to step forward to help her eldest daughter. "I'm sorry to make you all laugh, but every time Xiaoyao and Xiaomo meet, they cause a big fuss, which gives Shixian and I a headache.

Okay, Xiaomo, if you didn't exchange the birthday gift for me, then it's not yours. Let's end this matter here, don't make a fuss anymore."

hehe.

Is she the one making trouble? Then she is really going to make trouble today! "Yun Yao, you have learned the old saying that once a word is spoken, it cannot be taken back, right? Do you need me to explain its meaning to you in public? You treat your words as farts, right? Now, immediately, kneel down and admit your mistake!"

Yun Yao's eyes slowly turned red, and she looked extremely aggrieved. "Xiao Mo, today is Mom's birthday. Do you have to be so aggressive and make everyone look bad? Can you swear that you didn't switch the birthday gifts?"

"Yun Yao, you better understand that you are the one who made the situation awkward! Shouldn't you take out the bracelet in your birthday gift box and show it to everyone to see if it is the one that Madam Yan lost? "

Jiang Yu angrily stepped forward and pulled Yun Mo away, "Yun Mo, I've said this to the end, you don't understand what I'm saying, right?"

"oops."

Yun Mo fell to the ground, looking weak and fragile, just like a delicate little white flower being bullied by her foster mother.

Zeng Fang didn't understand what was going on, so she hurried over to help her, "Xiao Mo, are you okay?"

"It's nothing serious, I just sprained my ankle, but I didn't break my leg, I won't die."

Everyone followed Yun Mo's words and looked at her ankle. Sure enough, the originally slender and white left ankle was now red and swollen, looking very scary.

Although she is just an adopted daughter, isn't this too cruel? It's really not heartbreaking to have a child that is not your own.

Faced with everyone's condemning gazes, Jiang Yu had no way to defend herself and could only vent her anger on her adopted daughter.

"Didn't you eat? You can't even stand steadily. You fall down when you are touched! Hurry up and get up."

With the help of Zeng Fang, Yun Mo slowly stood up from the ground. Her small face was full of grievance and tears were falling freely.

"Actually, I shouldn't have come today. I'm an outsider to begin with, and I've forced myself into a family that doesn't belong to me. I've embarrassed others and humiliated myself.

Aunt Jiang, this is the last time I will attend your birthday party. I sincerely wish you good health and longevity.

Now that things have come to this, it would be annoying for me to stay any longer, so I'm leaving first. Everyone, have a good time and don't let the unhappiness between me and Yun Yao ruin your mood."

After saying that, Yun Mo bowed slightly to all the guests, and then, with the support of Zeng Fang, she limped towards the stairs.

Everyone automatically made way for a small path and watched Yun Mo leave, their eyes filled with sympathy and pity.

Who says the fake daughter is bad, pretentious and arrogant? She is obviously a poor little girl who is being oppressed.

Jiang Yu was in a terrible mood after seeing the birthday party turned out like this, but she had to force herself to entertain the guests.

"I'm really sorry for making a fool of myself. It's almost time. Everyone, please go downstairs and prepare to take your seats."

How could anyone leave without seeing the bracelet?

"Mrs. Yun, Yun Yao's birthday gift hasn't been displayed yet?"

"Yes, we just want to know if it is the bracelet that Mrs. Yan lost."

Yun Yao’s face was pale, her body was shaking, and the next second she fainted on the ground.

"Xiaoyao! What's wrong with you?"

Jiang Yu quickly asked the servants to help her eldest daughter back to the house, and took the opportunity to explain to the guests, "I'm really sorry, Xiaoyao is not feeling well, everyone please go downstairs first, I'm sorry if I didn't treat her well enough."

Tch, that's boring.

Soon all the guests went downstairs, leaving only the Yun family mother and daughter, as well as Mrs. Yan and Mrs. Su in the room.

Mrs. Su looked at Yun Yao, who was pretending to faint on the bed, with a mocking expression, "You have a quick mind and know what to do and when to do it. If you are not feeling well, just take a good rest. I won't get in the way."

After saying that, Mrs. Su left without looking back.

"Mrs. Yan..."

Jiang Yu was interrupted by the other party just as he opened his mouth, "Can you give me the bracelet?"

Jiang Yu had no choice but to give the mahogany box to the other party.

Mrs. Yan opened the box and recognized it as her lost bracelet at a glance.

"Mrs. Yun, shouldn't you give me a reasonable explanation? Why is my lost bracelet in your house?"

Jiang Yu had no idea what was going on. She glanced at her eldest daughter who was still pretending to be unconscious and explained awkwardly, "I'm not too sure about this..."

Mrs. Yan sneered, "What a confusion! Can this bracelet of mine grow legs and run to the Yun family by itself?!"

6◇9◇Book◇Bar

"Hmm..."

At this time, Yun Yao, who was lying on the bed, pretended to wake up and sat up in a daze.

"Mom, what's wrong with me?"

Jiang Yu came to the bed and said, "Xiaoyao, you just fainted. Are you okay?"

Yun Yao shook her head weakly. "It's okay. It may be because I studied too late these days and didn't sleep well."

Mrs. Yan didn't bother to pay attention to the acting of the mother and daughter, and directly questioned Yun Yao, "Miss Yun, I'm curious, why is my bracelet in your hand?"

Yun Yao hurriedly said: "It was Yun Mo, she was the one who did it. Madam Yan, do you remember the last time you hosted a banquet, that night Yun Mo..."

Mrs. Yan interrupted her directly, "You don't want to say that Yun Mo stole the bracelet, do you? I have already asked the servants at home. Yun Mo only stayed in the garden for a while that night and left early. She didn't even step into the living room. How long does her hand have to steal the bracelet I put in the bathroom in the living room in the garden?!"

Yun Yao was speechless.

At this moment, Yun Yao would never have imagined that Yun Mo had already started preparing for today's counterattack a few days ago.

The first thing to do was to find someone to find out the cause and effect of the loss of Mrs. Yan’s bracelet.

That night, Mrs. Yan went to the bathroom during the banquet. While washing her hands, she took off the bracelet and placed it on the sink. Later, when she remembered to look for it, she found that the bracelet was missing.

After learning about this, Yun Mo thought about it carefully and confirmed that the original owner did not enter the Yan family’s gate that night.

The Yan family's house is a Suzhou garden-style residence. There is a pond between the gate and the living room, and a stone bridge built with stone slabs over the pond for people to walk on.

I don’t know if it was a prank or just an accident, but the original owner accidentally slipped while walking on the stone bridge and fell into the pond.

The water in the pond was not deep, but there was a lot of silt. The original owner was in a very embarrassing situation and even lost his shoes. He was afraid of being embarrassed and went home without saying goodbye to anyone.

Therefore, the original owner had no possibility and opportunity to take away the bracelet that Mrs. Yan placed in the bathroom.

So, Yun Mo found a nanny who was on good terms with the Yan family's servants, gave her some benefits, and asked her to spread the fact that Yun Yao falsely accused her of stealing Mrs. Yan's bracelet at the wedding as gossip.

As expected, the gossip soon reached Mrs. Yan's ears through the mouths of Yan's servants.

Mrs. Yan first found the servants and gardeners in the house to verify the fact that Yun Mo fell into the pond.

Although no one saw Yun Mo fall into the pond, the gardener mentioned that he fished out a high-heeled shoe when he was cleaning the pond some time ago, which indirectly confirmed that Yun Mo fell into the pond.

Therefore, Yun Mo was ruled out as the person who stole the bracelet first.
