"Don't you understand?"
Xie Lingqin smiled slightly, "Then, to be fair, Father, please send someone in with Tridacna."
General Xie looked doubtful.
"Heh, this is interesting. I'd also like to see what Miss Xie is looking for, Qingyi."
General Xie remained silent, but Yuwen Xian, who was standing to the side, smiled and instructed Qingyi behind him, "You go in with the young lady's maid."
"yes."
Qingyi bowed and invited Tridacna to go first.
Tridacna met Xie Lingqin's gaze, lowered its eyes, and looked as if it had just realized what its young lady was going to do, and walked forward.
Meanwhile, everyone inside the courtyard held their breath.
General Xie, as the head of a prefecture, couldn't help but look at Xie Lingqin at this moment.
What exactly does this daughter want to do?
Suddenly, I felt that her aura was so... similar to her mother's.
As for Wang Renyi, he showed no sign of panic. Even if he found something, he had a way to pin it all on Miaoqiao, so that his aunt wouldn't suffer any injustice.
Before long, Tridacna came out with Qingmeng, each holding something in its hand.
Qingyi's expression was clearly surprised.
Even General Xie's brows furrowed upon seeing this.
“Miss, we’ve found it. It’s the very one I saw by chance the other day.” As Tridacna spoke, she presented the item in her hand.
Miaoqiao, seeing that it was just a silk handkerchief, visibly breathed a sigh of relief.
Xie Lingqin took in Miao Qiao's expression, glanced at the silk handkerchief, then lowered her eyes and handed it to General Xie beside her, saying, "Father, please take a look."
General Xie took it, his gaze shifting from Xie Lingqin's face to the silk handkerchief in his hand.
Upon seeing it, his eyes widened in surprise, then his expression shifted dramatically, and the hand gripping the silk handkerchief tightened so much that the veins bulged.
"Okay, okay, okay."
After General Xie said "good" three times in a row, "smack!"—the soft silk handkerchief was slammed hard onto Miao Qiao with his internal force.
At the same time, the way he looked at his second aunt was as if he were looking at a complete stranger.
"This, General..." The second concubine immediately stepped forward, and when she picked up the silk handkerchief on Miaoqiao's body and looked at it, she was immediately dizzy.
His gaze gradually fell upon Wang Renyi, who still wore a serious expression, and he looked up. "Renyi, you..."
"What's wrong?" Wang Renyi thought to himself that something was wrong and immediately took a few steps forward.
Upon seeing the embroidery on the handkerchief, he immediately snatched it away and threw it on the ground, saying, "It wasn't me."
"Oh?" Xie Lingqin stepped forward, picked up the silk handkerchief from the ground with her slender hand, blew on it gently, and then waved it in front of Miaoqiao. "Miaoqiao, tell me, who is this 'empty' mentioned on this silk handkerchief?"
"This...this..."
Miao Qiao was completely bewildered, her face pale. She had embroidered the handkerchief herself, but... but...
"You are kind-hearted, I miss you the most, you are righteous, I toss and turn at night, I only wish to be surnamed Wang forever." Xie Lingqin read the three rows of small characters embroidered on the silk handkerchief. Her voice was clear and melodious, but it made people turn pale when they heard it.
This is... too obvious.
Miao Qiao and Wang Renyi...
“Look, there are two small characters embroidered on this handkerchief: Yi Lang. The character ‘Yi’…” Xie Lingqin shook her head and looked at General Xie questioningly, “Father, we don’t have anyone with the character ‘Yi’ in our household, do we?”
General Xie's face turned ashen; of course not.
Wang Renyi, he's made it so obvious.
How could this beautiful young woman, a member of Danling's courtyard, be so shameless as to secretly have an affair with Wang Renyi?
She dared to do this; could it be that her second aunt is behind it all...?
Wang Renyi did this even before he was in his residence. This clearly shows that he was arrogant and disrespectful, relying on his status as the second-place scholar.
"No, I don't know this maid at all, how could I..."
"Young Master Wang, it hasn't even been said that the person described here is definitely you, yet you're already this nervous?" Xie Lingqin's question made Wang Renyi's brows furrow, and he was speechless.
Because all the questioning eyes were now on him.
"You, Miaoqiao, tell me, is it because you covet benevolence and righteousness that you've done all this behind my back?"
The second aunt couldn't let her nephew come in, so she immediately turned her attention to Miaoqiao.
Miao Qiao was still completely bewildered.
this……
"Miaoqiao, didn't you embroider this?"
"I... this servant..."
Xie Lingqin picked up the silk handkerchief and asked the nanny beside her, "Nanny, you're from Danling's courtyard, tell me, did she embroider this?"
"This is indeed her embroidery, it's Miaoqiao's embroidery style, there's no mistake." The old woman was usually bossed around by Miaoqiao because of her favor with the young master, so this time she didn't hold back and told the truth.
Miao Qiao bit her lip. Yes, she had indeed embroidered the handkerchief, but the words she embroidered clearly did not contain the concepts of benevolence and righteousness.
It was clearly Dan and Ling who wanted to use this to please the young master, but he didn't seem to like these things, so she didn't know where to throw them away.
How could this be...?
"You silly girl, hurry up and tell me."
Second Mother was furious. Even if Miaoqiao said no, it wouldn't do much good, but it was still better than not saying anything at all.
“No wonder, Miaoqiao changed her story and turned against him just because of one sentence from Young Master Wang. Father, you should know by now.” Xie Lingqin said, sighing, looking slightly tired. “Originally, it was Chequ who saw it by chance. I thought that Miaoqiao was someone close to Danling after all, so as long as nothing happened, I didn’t ask too much. I never expected…” Xie Lingqin stopped there.
"No, no, no..." Miao Qiao shook her head.
"What? You still want to deny it?" Xie Lingqin looked at Miao Qiao coldly.
Miao Qiao's confidence was wavering. She had initially thought the young lady had brought people to find something else, but it turned out they had found this instead. Although she was puzzled, as long as what they found wasn't that thing, then...
