Chapter 777 Suspicion
The ladies nearby nodded in agreement.
A group of people quickly came to the Song family.
Song Hexiu was still talking to Mr. Ji.
At the banquets in Xuanling Kingdom, there is no distinction between men and women. Men can talk to women at will, and women can also talk to men.
However, most of them are brought to the meeting by their elders.
There are cases where men and women meet alone, but they are relatively rare.
Mrs. Lin brought a group of ladies to the Song family.
Seeing that those people looked ill-intentioned, Madam Ji, who was standing nearby, frowned and asked, "What do you want?"
Old Master Ji and Song Hexiu also looked at those people.
Mrs. Lin glanced at Gou Yingya and repeated what she had just said.
Old Master Ji was immediately furious, staring intently at Gou Yingya. "Mr. Sheng, what do you mean? Are you saying that my grandson-in-law stole your jade pendant? Everyone knows that your family spent a lot of money to save your son. What valuable things could he have on him? My grandson-in-law's family's income from a day's fishing is enough to buy several jade pendants. How could he possibly steal your jade pendant?"
Gou Yingya said uncomfortably, "I...I didn't say it was Song Hexiu. I just said that the jade pendant disappeared after I walked past the Song family. I think I bumped into Song Hexiu at that time, so I became suspicious."
Song Hexiu couldn't possibly fail to understand what Gou Yingya said. His face immediately turned pale. "Are you trying to say that we bumped into each other and I took the opportunity to steal your jade pendant?"
Gou Yingya was silent, that was what she meant.
At this moment, Sheng Pengchi came to Gou Yingya's side and asked in a low voice with a frown: "What are you doing? You made such a big fuss. If something happens, do you want to sacrifice my future?"
This time, His Majesty showed mercy and did not hold his parents accountable for his son's murder, but he fined them three years' salary.
Although he kept his official position, he lost all face and has been living in a very timid manner recently.
I didn’t expect that Gou Yingya not only didn’t know how to keep a low profile, but was also so high-profile.
Gou Yingya said proudly: "Don't worry, I have confidence."
Sheng Pengchi thought about the recent grievances he had suffered and wanted the Song family to learn a lesson, so he said nothing and stayed away from her.
I just hope things go well and don't get him involved.
Madam Lin looked at Song Hexiu and said, "Mr. Song, Madam Sheng is suspicious of you. What do you have to say?"
Song Hexiu glanced at his daughter, then turned around and said, "Our family is not short of money, nor is it short of jade pendants. It's impossible for us to steal things, and it's impossible for anyone in our family to steal."
Madam Ji looked at Gou Yingya and said disdainfully, "I know that because of your son, you dislike both the Ji and Song families, but there is no need to use such despicable means to frame my granddaughter's family."
Seeing Madam Ji's direct words and the others looking at her meaningfully, Gou Yingya stopped pretending and revealed her true colors. "Hmph, I didn't frame them. They really stole my jade pendant. It's in Song Hexiu's arms right now."
As soon as the words fell, Song Hexiu was so angry that his whole body was shaking. "You...you've gone too far. Even if my wife is not your biological daughter, there is no need for you to ruin my reputation. I didn't steal anything, and I can't steal anything!"
Song Chuman said coldly: "You want to ruin our reputation today, but you've made a wrong calculation. No matter what you do today, your son will never come back."
