"It wasn't me, I really didn't take it." Xiao Liu bit her lip, protesting aggrievedly, "It has nothing to do with me, ma'am, it really wasn't me."
Yao Fangqin sneered and said, "I haven't even provoked you yet. Why are you so nervous if you didn't steal it? Hand it over to me."
"It wasn't me. It really wasn't me."
Xiao Liu shook his head even more vigorously, saying, "It really has nothing to do with me."
After saying that, she cautiously looked up at Yu Guanguan again, then quickly lowered her head.
Her expression was strange, so the guests could see it clearly and immediately realized what she meant upon hearing her words.
"This maid keeps staring at Yu Guanguan. Could it be that she has something she can't tell us?"
Yao Fangqin, seizing the opportunity, immediately said, "Why are you looking at Miss? Do you think she took it?"
In an instant, everyone's gaze fell on Yu Guanguan, but she seemed completely oblivious, her expression calm.
Upon hearing this, Yu Haipeng immediately frowned and gave Yao Fangqin an annoyed look. "It's just a pair of earrings. If they're lost, they're lost. Xiao Liu has been working at home for several years. How could he do such a thing? Today is a joyous occasion. Don't be silly."
He wasn't speaking up for Yu Guanguan; he just didn't want to ruin the engagement ceremony.
"Several hundred thousand? You can just decide to do it like that?" Yao Fangqin felt a pang of pain when she heard this.
Moreover, she had important things to do.
Under the watchful eyes of everyone, she was determined to pin this on Yu Guanguan.
"Mom, how about we just forget about it?" Yu Ziling, dressed in a formal gown, smiled gracefully. "Xiao Liu isn't that kind of person."
Upon hearing this, everyone became even more puzzled.
The current situation clearly shows that the servants saw Yu Guanguan stealing but dared not speak up.
Yu Haipeng chose not to pursue the matter, which was one thing, but why did Yu Ziling start speaking up for her?
This only shows that Yu Ziling is broad-minded and doesn't bother to argue with Yu Guanguan.
"As expected of a rich young lady, she has such a kind heart. She doesn't even care about a thief."
"Exactly. I've long heard that Yu Ziling is well-mannered and of good character. If it were me, I would have sent Yu Guanguan to the police station long ago."
The more this happened, the more certain the guests became of their suspicions.
Even Yu Haipeng was convinced that Yu Guanguan was a thief.
He couldn't say it directly, so he looked at Xiao Liu and said seriously, "Only you can go into Madam's room. If it's not you, then who else is there? If you don't tell the truth, we'll have to call the police."
“It really wasn’t me,” Xiao Liu said. “Besides, Madam’s room is never locked; anyone can go in. It could also be Miss. I saw her…”
"Oh dear, Xiao Liu. You can eat whatever you want, but you can't say whatever you want," Yu Ziling said, feigning exaggeration.
“Yes. You can’t just say things like that.” Yu Guanguan said calmly, looking at Xiao Liu, “Why don’t we just let her continue?”
Xiao Liu was on the verge of tears. "It might be the eldest young lady. I saw her go to the madam's room after she came back."
"It's you?" Yao Fangqin, having gotten the answer she wanted, immediately turned to Yu Guanguan. "Yu Guanguan! You're really something else! Not coming home all year round is one thing, but the first thing you do come home is steal? You're shameless..."
In a single sentence, Yu Guanguan was not even given a chance to refute; she was convicted outright.
Yu Ziling had a look of anticipation on her face.
Yu Guanguan slowly raised her head, looked at Yao Fangqin, and calmly said, "I haven't been to your room."
