Seeing Feng Qiao'er speak so confidently, Shu Jiaying knew that the hairpin was definitely hers. She asked calmly, "Feng Qiao'er, you said this hairpin is yours, but how did it end up in my jewelry box?"
Alan and Xiaoxue immediately chimed in, "Yes, we've been in the back mountain house for over half a month, and we're the ones who cleaned everything here. The hairpin has been in Miss Shu's jewelry box. If it's yours, how did it get into Miss Shu's jewelry box?"
"this……"
How could Feng Qiaoer know why this happened? She only knew that when she first came to Guangming Village, Chai suddenly disappeared one night.
Originally, Feng Qiaoer was wondering if it was that damned Bagui who stole the hairpin and sold it. Now that she saw the hairpin in Shu Jiaying's jewelry box, she thought she must have lost it somewhere and was then picked up by Shu Jiaying.
I think this should be the biggest possibility, but now Shu Jiaying is the future princess, her status is different from the past, so Feng Qiaoer can only say in a gentle voice: "Miss Shu, we will soon become a family, tell me honestly, did you pick up this hairpin on the road?
The hairpin... I think I lost it over three months ago. There was a golden phoenix pattern on it, but one time when I was wearing it, I accidentally scraped it against the wall, leaving a tiny scratch on the top of the golden phoenix. These details are invisible to anyone who isn't paying attention."
As she spoke, Feng Qiaoer took out the gold hairpin hidden in her belt and waved it in front of Shu Jiaying.
Xiaoxue, who was standing by, had tidied Shu Jiaying's room several times, but she had never paid attention to the little details that Feng Qiaoer mentioned.
She said to Feng Qiao'er, "Bring that hairpin here for me to see."
Feng Qiaoer originally wanted to find a witness, and seeing Xiaoxue so proactive, she was very happy to hand the hairpin in her hand to Xiaoxue.
Xiaoxue carefully observed the gold hairpin. It was exactly as Feng Qiaoer said. There was an inconspicuous scratch on the phoenix head. It seemed that this hairpin should belong to Feng Qiaoer.
Not knowing what to say, Xiaoxue handed the hairpin to Shu Jiaying again.
"Miss Shu, would you like to take a look at this hairpin?"
Shu Jiaying waved her hand.
"I won't look at it anymore. Feng Qiao'er is right. This hairpin is definitely not mine. I found it in the river, and I'm very curious..."
Staring directly at Feng Qiao'er, Shu Jiaying asked seriously, "How did your hairpin end up in the river over there by the reeds?"
"So you found my hairpin in the river. I told you, no wonder I couldn't find it anywhere..."
"Feng Qiao'er, you haven't answered my question yet. Why did your hairpin fall into the river?"
Feng Qiao'er didn't realize the inappropriateness of this question. She answered naturally, "Because I had just arrived in Guangming Village at that time, I was unfamiliar with this place. So when I couldn't figure it out, I ran to the river to relax. I didn't expect that my hairpin actually fell into the river and I didn't even know it. I was really careless."
Shu Jiaying wasn't so easily fooled. She asked again, "So you were also at the riverside the day my uncle Erlang drowned, right? Tell me, how did my uncle slip and fall into the river? Why didn't you ever tell anyone in the village about this?"
