Knowing that Feng Qiaoer was not dead, Xiang Lingfang's mother was relieved, but her smile was no longer as natural.
"Heh... Feng Qiao'er is no longer with us. Dear guests, bringing up Feng Qiao'er's affairs here is such a letdown. How about we talk about something else?"
Shu Jiaying pretended not to hear what Xiang Lingfang's mother said. She kept asking, "Auntie, what do you think of Feng Qiao'er?"
"she?"
Xiang Lingfang's mother immediately turned into a disdainful face again.
"She is greedy and selfish. Last time, a girl here lost a hairpin, and we suspected she stole it because nothing has ever been lost in Xianglingfang."
"What does that hairpin look like?"
Shu Jiaying suddenly thought of the gold hairpin she picked up in the river.
In fact, it was not unreasonable for Shu Jiaying to have such an idea. After all, she and Yu Chenfeng had been to Feng Qiaoer's home. Given Feng Qiaoer's family background, she simply could not afford a gold hairpin like this. In addition, Mrs. Gao said that she had snatched her jewelry back from Feng Qiaoer, so there was definitely something wrong with this matter.
Xiang Lingfang's mother nodded, she confirmed Lingyue's idea.
"That hairpin is a gold one, and the pendant is a phoenix made of pure gold. Everyone in Xianglingfang knows that Xiaohong treasures her hairpin very much. But the abominable thing is that we clearly know that the hairpin is most likely taken by Feng Qiaoer, but in the end we have no evidence and can't do anything to her."
"Auntie, what happened to Feng Qiao'er falling into the water?"
When talking about Feng Qiaoer's drowning, Xiang Lingfang's mother said angrily, "I'm still angry when I talk about this. Master Kang, you know that Xiang Lingfang has been open in Fengyun Town for so many years, and we've always lived in peace. But after that unlucky Feng Qiaoer came, not only did we often lose things here, but she actually killed my customer on her first visit. Isn't that infuriating?"
"Auntie, do you believe that Feng Qiao'er has the ability to kill others?"
After hearing Shu Jiaying's question, Xianglingfang's mother didn't answer immediately. She thought for a while before saying, "I didn't believe it at first, but after Feng Qiaoer received that customer, the customer was fine and looked very healthy. But in less than half an incense stick of time, Feng Qiaoer came to tell me that the customer was dead?
I was so scared that I ran to the wing room. We all checked the guest's physical signs. He had no external injuries, and he didn't look like he was sick. In short, he died very peacefully, an eerie peace.
Another person who died peacefully.
Although the deaths of Mr. Gao and the guests at Xianglingfang sounded innocent, Shu Jiaying felt something was amiss. After thinking for a moment, she asked, "Auntie...why did you throw Feng Qiaoer into the river after that?"
The woman from Xianglingfang immediately spat, "We considered ourselves unlucky for throwing her into the river. You know, I spent a large sum of money to buy her from the neighboring Mi Village. I wanted her to make money for me, but who knew that stealing the chicken would end up losing the rice? I didn't go too far. I had someone throw her into the river, but at least I had someone throw a piece of wood with her. Whether she lives or dies is up to fate. Anyway, she caused Xianglingfang enough losses."
