Gu Yunran took a piece and put it in her mouth. While eating, she praised Mu Qianjiao.
"Fourth sister's cooking skills are getting better and better."
"Oh, by the way, did you find my sister's jade pendant?"
Mu Qianjiao shook her head: "No."
Whenever this matter was mentioned, she felt bad. She had clearly asked Wenxiu to bury the jade pendant under the peach tree, but how could it be gone?
It seems that the girl is not helping her sincerely, so she wants to find an opportunity to teach her a lesson.
Gu Yunran sighed: "That's such a pity."
She looked at Madam Mu again and said, "Grandma, the jade pendant that Fourth Sister has is very valuable and very important to her. Why don't you send someone to look for it?"
"If the maid in the mansion were to take something away and disappear without a trace, I'm afraid there will be more things lost in the future."
Madam Mu nodded, thinking that what Gu Yunran said made sense.
"Then let's look for it again."
Mu Qianjiao's eyes darkened, and she was a little hesitant. If it was Wenxiu who coveted her jade pendant, and if she found it with Wenxiu, would Wenxiu reveal everything she had told her?
She said, "Grandma, forget it. I'll look for it myself."
Gu Yunran looked at Mu Qianjiao: "Fourth sister, is there anything you can't tell me?"
Mu Qianjiao's heart skipped a beat, and she looked at Gu Yunran with doubt. Could it be that she was discovered by Gu Yunran?
But she quickly shook her head again.
Gu Yunran probably didn't know, otherwise she wouldn't be sitting here so calmly. She should have complained to her grandmother a long time ago.
She laughed and said, "No, no."
Madam Mu looked at Mu Qianjiao's strange reaction, her eyes darkened for a moment, and after a long pause, she said, "Since there's nothing, let's look for them all."
She would never allow the maids in the mansion to be dishonest or greedy.
The people sent by Madam Mu personally searched every courtyard and the servants' rooms, but in the end they found nothing.
Gu Yunran waited calmly.
For some reason, Mu Qianjiao's heart was pounding with nervousness, and she felt a little restless.
Madam Mu looked at Mu Qianjiao: "Jiaojiao, what's wrong with you? You look so uneasy."
Mu Qianjiao: "No, no."
Qin sat aside, twisting her handkerchief, with a very ugly look on her face.
"That jade pendant is priceless. How dare a dishonest maid steal the master's things?" She looked at Madam Mu and said, "Mother, if you catch this thief, you must not let him off lightly."
The third wife sat aside with a calm expression, drinking tea quietly without saying a word.
After a while, Mu's mother and Qin's mother hurried in.
"The old lady has been found."
Mother Mu presented the things with a serious face. There was not only a jade pendant in the copper plate, but also something covered with cloth.
Madam Mu frowned, pointed at the cloth-covered object, and asked, "What is this?"
Mother Mu pursed her lips and said, "Old slave, I dare not say anything. Please let the old lady see for herself."
"Let me see." Old Madam Mu reached out and lifted the cloth. When she saw what was inside, her face turned pale with anger and she almost fainted.
Everyone in the room opened their mouths in surprise.
Qin even jumped out and asked, "Who did this?"
"Oh, which girl doesn't want to live anymore and actually curses the old lady!"
"This girl is so brave! We must not give in! Beat her to death!"
Mother Qin stood beside Mother Mu with her head lowered, not daring to say a word.
She kept winking at Qin, asking her to stop talking, but Qin seemed not to notice.
No, Qin saw it, but she didn't understand it at all. She even asked Qin's mother: "Qin's mother, what's wrong with your eyes? Are you suffering from an eye disease?"
Mother Qin rubbed her forehead unreasonably, she wished she could faint.
Oh my god, my lady, my eyes are about to cramp. Why don’t you understand my good intentions?
Mother Mu glared at Mother Qin fiercely. Mother Qin lowered her head and dared not glance around again.
Madam Mu slammed the table angrily.
"Where did you find this?"
"Yes, where did you find it?" Qin also asked.
Mu Qianjiao's whole body was shaking like a sieve, and she always had a bad premonition.
Gu Yunran had an indifferent expression. With Madam Mu around, she didn't need to say anything. She just had to wait for the result.
Mother Mu glanced at the trembling Mu Qianjiao and snorted coldly: "Old Madam, these things were found under the Fourth Young Lady's bed."
With a loud bang.
Qin's head seemed to be split open, and she stood there like a wooden chicken.
"How, how is it possible?"
She suddenly fainted.
Mother Qin hurried over to support her: "Miss, oh, Miss, you can't be in trouble."
"Quick, go call the doctor."
Madam Mu looked at Qin and said sternly, "Don't play dead. Stand up!"
Qin was so frightened that she stood up immediately, knelt beside the old lady, and begged bitterly: "Mother, there must be some misunderstanding here?"
"It wasn't Jiaojiao who did it. It definitely wasn't Jiaojiao who did it. Jiaojiao wouldn't do that."
"Oh, by the way, mother, someone must have framed Jiaojiao. You must investigate thoroughly!!"
Qin looked at Mu Qianjiao, stretched out her hand and pulled her to her knees: "Jiaojiao, tell grandma quickly that this has nothing to do with you. Someone framed you, right?"
