Chapter 96 You are more shameless than I thought
The group began to search the courtyard of the third house in a mighty manner.
Yunxi was extremely serious. Song Rouxi had pulled her aside and told her to search every corner carefully and find the piano.
After entering the house, she reached out to open the large boxes. Wanxiang thought to herself, it's a good thing that she had moved the valuables in the house to a safe place early on. If the eldest wife saw them, she would be so jealous.
She slapped Yunxi's hand away and met her angry gaze. "This box is my young lady's personal property. I won't bother you, Yunxi. Let me do it."
Yun Xi pulled the corner of her mouth, "What if you play tricks on me?"
"Don't you have eyes? You were watching from the side, couldn't you see that I was playing tricks?"
"You!" Yun Xi was so angry at the rude words that she gritted her teeth, but she couldn't refute it.
"Don't talk about yours and mine. I'm going to open the box and show you. Don't be so clumsy and break my Third Miss's things later."
Yunxi felt contemptuous. The third branch was so poor that it only had a yard left. What good things could it have?
Next, even though he had let go of those precious things early, what was left still surprised Yun Xi.
What did she see?
A hairpin made of huge South China pearls, why is this thing in the third room?
"Wait, this hairpin doesn't belong to your young lady, right?" Yun Xi swallowed and stared at the hairpin.
"It's not my young lady's, could it be the eldest young lady's? Does she have this kind of thing?"
"Give me the hairpin! Your young lady can't possibly have such a fine thing!"
As she said that, she didn't care about anything else and reached out to grab it. Wanxiang naturally refused to let her succeed. Fortunately, she had done a lot of work in the past and her hands and feet were nimble. Yunxi was no match for her.
"How dare you resist me!" Yun Xi was furious. Usually, because she was Song Rouxi's maid, people in the mansion were quite respectful to her. It was nothing like what she had suffered at Wanxiang's hands.
"This hairpin belongs to my young lady, why should I give it to you?"
"Impossible." Yun Xi's eyes turned, "It must have been your young lady who stole it!"
Knowing what she was thinking, Wanxiang made no secret of her contempt. The master and the servants were all despicable. How dare they look down on the third wife?
Ah Lin couldn't bear to watch it and said calmly, "There should be words engraved inside the hairpin. You'll know when you take a look."
Wanxiang looked at him doubtfully, opened her palm, and turned the hairpin over. Sure enough, the words "Le Yi" were engraved inside.
"Look carefully, this hairpin was given to my young lady by Princess Le Yi!"
Yun Xi was not confident enough, "So what? Your young lady is not worthy of it!"
Ah Lin's eyes flashed, and he felt an inexplicable disgust towards Yun Xi in his heart. "Stop talking nonsense and search quickly. My master is very busy and doesn't have time to accompany you here to perform like an actor."
The word "actor" made Yunxi's cheeks flush with anger. She didn't dare to provoke Alin, so she turned around and glared at Wanxiang fiercely.
She took note!
The young lady really hates the third wife, and they will suffer in the future!
She was angry and searched roughly, even picking up a porcelain bottle to look at it, and then...
"Bang."
Yun Xi pretended to be wronged, "I accidentally broke it, but this piece of porcelain looks like an ordinary object. It can be placed in the third room of the house, so it shouldn't be valuable!"
Wan Xiangqi's cheeks puffed up, and after a while she sneered, "You said, this thing is not valuable?"
Seeing her expression, Yun Xi felt inexplicably flustered and stammered, "Could it be that this thing... is priceless?"
"I say you are ignorant, but you are really a frog in a well." Wanxiang said sarcastically.
After examining it carefully for a moment, A-Lin said, "This white jade bottle must have been made inside."
"Brother Alin still has a sharp eye. This white jade bottle was also given by the princess." Wanxiang looked at Yunxi's swollen face with a smile, and felt very happy in her heart.
The young lady had already found a way to sell this white jade bottle, and it had been passed on several times to ensure that no one could find the seller.
Now this white jade bottle is just a fake that looks similar and was bought from the market, just for show.
When she saw Yunxi’s face that looked like her father had died, she wanted to laugh but forced herself to hold it back.
From Alin's perspective, Wanxiang's shoulders kept shaking. He pulled the corners of his mouth and revealed a very faint smile. Compared to the disgusting and vicious people, such open people made him feel fresh.
"I...I..." Yun Xi was almost crying.
Wanxiang ignored her pleading eyes and just gestured for her to continue searching.
Yun Xi had a sad face and dared not touch anything in the third room anymore. She searched carefully, but no matter how hard she searched, she could not find the piano. The expression on her face became more and more ugly.
"How could this happen..." Yun Xi murmured, "This shouldn't be the case. Where's Qin..."
"I've already told you that your piano is lost. It has nothing to do with our third room."
"Impossible. There are other rooms in the third room, and I want to search them too."
Wanxiang did not stop him. She made a gesture of invitation and turned to meet Alin's ambiguous gaze. She suddenly felt a little guilty.
Could it be that the other party saw through it?
She smiled awkwardly and turned around to follow Yunxi.
As a result, the third room was searched thoroughly, but Yun Xi was pale and found nothing.
She was almost crying, thinking that not only had she failed to complete the task, but she had also broken a vase made inside. The young lady would definitely not forgive her when she got back.
When Song Rouxi saw them coming back, she couldn't wait to ask, "How's it going? Where's Qin?"
Seeing Yunxi didn't say anything, she felt uneasy, "Say something! Where's Qin?"
Yunxi knelt down with a plop, and her knees touched the bluestone slabs. The sour sound made Wanxiang, who was following behind her, grimace. It must have hurt when she heard the sound!
"Miss, I didn't find it..."
Song Rouxi couldn't believe it, "Impossible! Have you really looked for it?"
"I have looked everywhere inside and out, following the young lady's instructions, and left no place unsearched... But, I still couldn't find it." Yun Xi's voice became smaller and smaller, and in the end it was almost inaudible.
“Pah.”
Song Rouxi slapped her hard, and Yunxi's face was directly distorted.
"Useless thing!"
After she finished cursing, her body went limp and she almost fell down.
Thinking of the written agreement, thirty canes, she felt dizzy. She had grown up in luxury and had never been beaten. Thirty canes would be like the end of her life.
Thinking of this, she gritted her teeth and glared at Song Ci, "Tell me, where did you hide the zither? You must have hidden it on purpose."
Song Ci laughed angrily, and her cold eyes were even colder than usual.
"If you can't find something, just say I hid it. Song Rouxi, you are even more shameless than I thought."
