Chapter 382: An heirloom, is it some lousy thing? !
Not all the onlookers reacted in the same way.
Jiang Yingcheng, who knew the truth, not only did not say anything bad to her, but even said softly in support: "No, don't be fierce to Sister Ruihan..."
Ding Ruihan looked up with emotion.
Friendship that comes in handy is always precious. Although the previous meeting was not very pleasant, she was really surprised that the young man would speak up to defend her in such a situation today.
The little guy is so cute, she must have misunderstood him before -
Before Ding Ruihan could finish her sigh in her heart, Jiang Yingcheng added the second half of the sentence crisply: "It's not easy for Sister Ruihan to save money in an environment like the Ding Mansion!"
The ministers present: “…” You didn’t let her go either!
Ding Ruihan: “…”
She was right, this was a "little devil"!
But she didn't have time to be angry about it.
The surname Ding is not uncommon.
But if the Ding family is mentioned in Fengjin County, and combined with the jewelry she is wearing, which looks very valuable, everyone will subconsciously think of the "Ding family".
Sure enough, the voices of doubt were soon heard outside the government office.
"Is the Ding family... the Ding family I thought it was?"
"……should?"
If it weren't for the Ding family, why would the young prince say something like "that kind of environment"?
But if it was really the Ding family...how could this woman have any so-called heirloom? !
Ding Ruihan was so angry at this turn of events that she was shaking all over, but she didn't dare to say a word in rebuttal.
The identity of that little dumpling is someone she still needs to look up to even if she works hard all her life!
She could only cast her hopeful eyes towards Zou Cailiang behind the desk, and trembled as she said, "Sir, the receipt presented along with the hairpin is the receipt I asked the store owner to write down when I bought it. This is enough to prove that my treasure box was indeed stolen by a thief!"
Zou Cailiang only glanced at the words on the receipt and put it aside. Then, he lifted the curtain and looked at Ding Ruihan sternly: "The store owner claimed that a mysterious person visited late at night and that he was in urgent need of money because of a sudden change in his family, so he wanted to sell this item at a low price?"
Ding Ruihan choked and almost blurted out: "You, you are..." How did you know this?
Fortunately, the ability to read people's expressions that she had learned in the Ding Mansion made her stop before she could say anything. She changed the subject to: "Why do you think so?"
It wasn't entirely smooth, but at least she got her way: "The shopkeeper claimed that he bought the item from a traveling merchant, but the seller never showed up again after that."
After saying this, Ding Ruihan quietly gestured behind her.
The speech she had arranged earlier was exactly as Zou Cailiang said. Now that the script has been suddenly changed, someone has to inform them in advance.
Outside the government office, the maid who came with Ding Ruihan froze in her eyes, turned around, nimbly slipped out from the crowd, and ran quickly towards a small path.
She walked in a hurry and didn't notice two figures squeezed out with her and then silently followed behind her.
The trial in the court is still going on.
Zou Cailiang took a deep breath and slowly exhaled, "Do you have any suspects?"
His family heirloom was hanging on that little girl's body, but he had to help the culprit to get her treasure back. The more Zou Cailiang thought about it, the more aggrieved he felt, but he still had to keep smiling.
He is almost mad to death!
Unexpectedly, the moment he finished saying this, he saw Ding Ruihan quickly glance in the direction of Jiang Lifeng, and then bit her lower lip without saying a word, with an expression of wanting to say something but stopping herself from saying it was written all over her body.
I feel wronged, but I dare not say it.
For some reason, Nie Wen caught the little princess's eye. Not only had he been following Emperor Mingze's team for several days, but now he could even hug her tightly!
Jiang Lifeng: "..."
Oh my, this wave is coming towards me!
Seeing this, Zou Cailiang smiled slowly.
He finally became interested, pointed at the distinguished young prince of the Nanyang Palace, and asked hesitantly, "You suspect him?"
Thinking back to the day when he was ganged up with the little prince and the little princess and could not claim the family heirloom even though it was right in front of him, Zou Cailiang felt a sense of revenge and asked again, "Do you really suspect him?"
Ding Ruihan sobbed aggrievedly: "My Lord, I have carefully recalled everything that has happened during this period of time, and I found that I have only had disputes with this person recently..."
This was another reason why she was so eager.
After returning home that day, the more she thought about it, the more she felt something was wrong.
She clearly remembered that when she boarded Emperor Mingze's pleasure boat, she saw a purse hanging around her waist, so the purse must have been lost on that boat.
And among all the people on the ship, only Nie Wen had ever had a brief unpleasantness with her.
It must be him who did it!
However, the matter of Ding Mansion is about to come to an end, and Nie Wen might leave with Emperor Mingze and his entourage. If she lets him go far away, she will never be able to find any trace of him again!
The crying sound stopped here at the right time. If it weren't for the previous farce, just based on her tearful and pitiful look, I'm afraid people would subconsciously believe what she said.
But these words still made everyone involuntarily shift their attention to Jiang Lifeng.
Facing the various looks from the crowd, Jiang Lifeng leaned back leisurely and smiled: "Do you doubt me?"
Things are different now. He is now protected by his little family. How dare you doubt him?!
He glanced at Ding Ruihan meaningfully, and then fell on the little guy in his arms.
It's up to you! The most powerful cheat!
Jiang Yingcheng, the strongest plug-in, has already read all of Ding Ruihan's plans and is almost impressed by this ingenious plan.
[Wow! No wonder Sister Rui Han was able to reach the highest level in such a treacherous environment like the Ding Mansion. The meticulousness of this plan is much better than that of the previous couple! ]
[Sister Rui Han hired several news sellers in advance to spread a story about a "heartless man who played with a woman's feelings, but after breaking up he felt that his money was not worth it, so he sneaked into her house and stole jewelry and money in order to make up for his investment", trying to get everyone to put Brother Li Feng in the role of the heartless man...]
[She also sent Brother Li Feng’s portrait to the shops she had bought in advance, hoping that they would be able to accurately describe Brother Li Feng’s appearance before meeting him, hiss——]
[Also, she secretly wrote down the style of the pendant that Brother Li Feng had worn, and wanted to claim that the pendant was her lost treasure...]
In ancient times, there was a lack of means to investigate cases, and coupled with the cooperative relationship between the Ding family and Zou Cailiang, these three tricks alone could almost be said to have achieved the level of stealing and gaining something!
[This is to force my brother Li Feng to be beaten into a criminal! ]
This won’t work!
Jiang Lifeng glanced at Ding Ruihan coldly, and a thought automatically came to his mind: if he failed to meet the young man on this trip, he might have to face a miserable life.
The hands hidden under the wide sleeves tightly grasped the armrests of the armchair, with such force that the fingertips seemed to be somewhat transparent.
This is simply too much bullying.
[But... my brother Li Feng also lost such a precious jade pendant. So many people in the Ding Mansion have seen it! ]
Jiang Lifeng was stunned.
Lost...the jade pendant?
He glanced at his waist with a confused look.
The place was empty. The pendant that was originally hanging there had been secretly taken down by the kid at some point, and a wooden pendant of a little tiger was hung in its place.
Why did he lose...
"!!!"
He understands!
Jiang Lifeng lowered his eyes to suppress his interest, and when he looked up again, his face was filled with sorrow.
"Master Zou!" Jiang Lifeng spoke loudly, "Since the topic has come to this, I also have something that needs your review!"
"I have a jade pendant passed down from my ancestors, which I lost a few months ago. I hope you can help me find it!"
There was a sound when it fell to the ground, and the echo lasted forever.
Successfully pushed the situation to an even more embarrassing situation.
Zou Cailiang: “…”
Onlookers: "..."
Heirloom, is it some lousy street item?!
