The golden hairpin that Alan mentioned was actually found by Shu Jiaying at the location where Erlang drowned. In Shu Jiaying's heart, she always felt that the golden hairpin might be related to Erlang's death, but she was distressed that she had never found the owner of the golden hairpin.
Now Feng Qiaoer ran out to steal the gold hairpin and said that the gold hairpin was hers?
Shu Jiaying was not sure whether Feng Qiaoer was lying because she was greedy for money, or whether she was telling the truth and the gold hairpin was originally lost by her?
Feeling the need to clarify this matter, Shu Jiaying said to Alan, "Where is Feng Qiaoer now? Take me to see her. I have some questions I want to ask her in person."
Alan heard about Feng Qiaoer's story when the villagers brought Xiao Qifeng's body. It was because of Feng Qiaoer's intervention that Xiao Qifeng couldn't figure it out and hanged himself, so she hated Feng Qiaoer from the bottom of her heart.
Thinking that Shu Jiaying was looking for Feng Qiaoer to settle a score, she immediately said excitedly: "Okay Miss Shu, your eldest brother's new wife is still in your room. I will take you there right away."
Yu Chenfeng was worried that Shu Jiaying would suffer if she went alone to face Feng Qiaoer, so he quickly said, "Yingying, I'll go with you."
Afraid that Shu Jiaying would not agree, he immediately took Shu Jiaying's arm.
Shu Jiaying was a little surprised at Yu Chenfeng's nervousness towards her, but she felt warm in her heart for Yu Chenfeng's behavior. She smiled knowingly and followed Alan with Yu Chenfeng.
As soon as the three of them walked out of the room, Old Man Shu came up to them.
"My Lord, where are you planning to go?"
Yu Chenfeng did not answer, he just said "hmm" lightly, and he and Shu Jiaying still followed Alan.
Old Man Shu felt bored, but he still walked awkwardly behind the three people.
When they arrived at Shu Jiaying's room, Old Man Shu saw a maid pressing Feng Qiaoer onto a chair.
Thinking that Feng Qiao'er was pregnant with their Shu family's child, the old man Shu said unhappily, "You little servant girl, even when you beat a dog, you have to look at the master. Don't you know that the person you're beating is the princess's sister-in-law? My daughter-in-law is pregnant now. If anything happens to her, I'll have the princess take your life immediately!"
Xiaoxue also knew that Feng Qiao'er and Shu Jiaying had a sister-in-law relationship, but it was the duty of slaves like them to protect their masters' property. Moreover, she did not believe that Shu Jiaying could not distinguish right from wrong. She spoke frankly, "No matter who it is, as long as they take someone else's things without permission, they are a thief."
“…”
This was a hidden meaning. Feng Qiao'er immediately stood up and scolded, "You slut, whose things did you say I took? Watch your mouth."
Before she could finish her words, Feng Qiaoer was pushed back onto the chair by Xiaoxue.
Xiaoxue did not directly answer Feng Qiaoer's question, she looked at Shu Jiaying.
"Miss Shu, you're finally here. Just now, I saw this woman take a gold hairpin from the jewelry box on your dressing table and hide it in her belt. I asked her to hand it over, but she insisted that it was hers. So, I think it would be better for Miss Shu to come and talk to her face to face."
"What's there to say? This hairpin originally belonged to me. I can describe its color and material, and even the exact amount of gold ornaments on it. I can tell you exactly how many there are, but can your princess do the same?"
