Chapter 589: Is your name written on the jade pendant?
Lu Xiang did not answer, but gave Qiu Ying a soothing look.
Under this calm yet reassuring gaze, Qiuying's uneasy heart slowly relaxed.
What should she do? She hadn't figured it out yet. Since Miss Qi dared to frame Lu Qiao, someone in the Wu family must be helping her.
But taking advantage of one's power to bully others... is not something that Miss Qi would do.
Everyone was shocked when Lu Xiang appeared at the Wu residence.
As the eldest daughter of the Wu family and the organizer of this flower viewing banquet, Wu Wei was stunned for a moment and hurriedly stepped forward from the crowd: "Miss Third's sudden visit, I am sorry for not welcoming you."
The implication is that Lu Xiang came uninvited.
Lu Qiao bit her lip and looked at Lu Xiang with great grievance, her eyes reddened, and she wished she could hug Lu Xiang and cry.
However, seeing Lu Xiang finally calmed her helpless and frightened heart.
Lu Xiang cast a comforting glance at Lu Qiao, then glanced at Wu Wei with an indifferent look, and said with a smile: "Miss Wu, are you saying that you don't welcome me?"
Wu Wei seemed not to notice the coldness in Lu Xiang's eyes, and said with a gentle smile: "How could that be? The Third Miss is now a noble lady, I'm just afraid that I can't invite her."
"Really? Miss Wu also thinks I am noble now?"
"The future Eighth Imperial Consort will naturally be extremely noble."
Hearing this, Lu Xiang suddenly chuckled, and looked around at the noble ladies with a cold gaze, finally landing on Wu Wei: "If that's the case, then you still dare to gang up on my sister?"
These words made everyone choke.
The Eighth Imperial Concubine is so great, but so arrogant.
But after choking, she felt a strong sense of jealousy again. The Eighth Imperial Concubine was indeed amazing.
Apart from having a good-looking face, Lu Xiang also had some luck that made him catch the eye of the Eighth Prince.
At this time, a charming voice rang out from the crowd, as sweet as a yellow oriole: "Miss Third, you are wrong. How dare we bully your sister? It is obvious that she stole my things and refused to admit it. So many people saw the jade pendant fall from her body. She can't deny it."
As she finished her words, Qi Wan walked up to Lu Xiang in an elegant manner, with a sneer on her lips that was particularly eye-catching.
"Who are you?" Lu Xiang glanced at her with disdain and contempt in his eyes.
Qi Wan's face suddenly froze when she saw the condescending look. She felt as if she had gathered all her strength to kill everyone, but found that she was not taken seriously by the other party at all.
It's very infuriating.
"This is the daughter of the Vice Minister of Justice, Qi Wan," Wu Wei introduced.
Lu Xiang snorted lightly, walked to Lu Qiao, protected her behind him, and glared at Qi Wan fiercely: "It was you who wronged my sister."
Seeing that Lu Xiang attacked her as soon as he arrived, Qi Wan's face turned ugly: "It's not an injustice, it's the fact."
"What a fact! Was your name written on the jade pendant, or did it respond when you called it?"
Qi Wan was so angry at Lu Xiang's words that she choked: "It's my own jade pendant, how could I not recognize it? Miss Third's words are a bit unreasonable."
Lu Xiang sneered: "Who knows if Miss Qi is dazzled and made a mistake? You can have the jade pendant, but my sister can't have it."
"What do you mean?" Qi Wan frowned and was stunned.
Lu Xiang ignored her and turned to look at Lu Qiao: "Sixth sister, have you seen clearly that it is not yours?"
Lu Qiao had sensed from the beginning that Lu Xiang's eyes were telling her to seize the opportunity, and now when she heard Lu Xiang ask this, her mind suddenly clicked and she immediately reacted.
"Third sister, it's mine. Miss Qi insisted on accusing me of stealing her." Lu Qiao pointed at Qi Wan indignantly.
This sudden reversal left everyone confused.
What's going on?
How did the jade pendant become the Lu family's sixth lady's?
"If the jade pendant belonged to Miss Six, why didn't she say anything when it fell from her? And the shocked expression on her face just now was clearly suspicious." Someone whispered.
Lu Xiang looked towards the person who was speaking, and the chilling coldness in his eyes made the person shiver.
Damn it.
She is just a girl younger than her, why does she have such an imposing aura?
"Suspicious? Miss Yuan, did you hear my sister admit with your own ears that the jade pendant is not hers?" Lu Xiang said.
Miss Yuan was startled when she saw that Lu Xiang recognized her.
She has never met Lu Xiang.
This is the first time I see her today.
How could she know that Lu Xiang recognized her? They had met each other a few times in her previous life. Although they were not familiar with each other, he remembered her face.
"No...no." Miss Yuan said embarrassedly.
Lu Qiao suddenly snorted, "Did you give me a chance to speak? As soon as Miss Qi saw the jade pendant, she shouted that it was hers and accused me of stealing it. She said I looked shocked, how could I not be shocked? Miss Qi actually said that my own jade pendant was hers and that it was given to me by Princess Wen Shuang. You all believed her words and accused me of my faults and character, leaving me no way to defend myself."
At this time, Lu Qiao was extremely grateful that these people did not give her the slightest chance to explain. If she had not said much, her third sister would have made the situation even more complicated and confusing.
The jade pendant was naturally not hers, but it was not important at the moment. The third sister knew that she would not be able to find any evidence when everyone in the Wu family pointed the finger at her. Even she herself did not know when and by whom the jade pendant was placed on her.
What made Lu Qiao even more frustrated was that when she became the target of public criticism, the friends she thought were her friends never stood up to say a word for her. Instead, they just stood behind her and watched her being framed.
She understood Wu Ran's difficult situation and difficulties as a concubine's daughter, because she was also a concubine's daughter, but her silence still deeply hurt Lu Qiao's heart.
Lu Xiang then frowned and asked her, "I remember the jade pendant you wore when you left the palace. It was given to you by the Eighth Prince not long ago, right?"
puff……
Lu Qiao almost drooled. "Third sister, are you so violent right away? You don't even give me a little room to buffer."
I thought you were going to deny it, but I never expected that you, third sister, would play such a big game.
The eighth prince!
If he knew about this, he would kill her in anger.
Lu Qiao's legs trembled twice with fear and she was terrified in her heart, but fortunately she kept her composure and didn't show it at all.
Just die.
The third sister even pushed the eighth prince out as a shield for her, so she couldn't be timid.
"Yes, it's the gift that the Eighth Prince gave me. It has auspicious clouds and ruyi engraved on it, which symbolizes good luck and good fortune." Lu Qiao suppressed her heart that was about to jump out of her chest, and said to everyone with great determination and seriousness.
Everyone's faces kept changing like a palette. Miss Yuan asked Qi Wan in a low voice, "What's going on?"
As soon as she finished speaking, Qi Wan's lips trembled with anger. She pointed at Lu Qiao and said angrily, "You are talking nonsense."
But now Lu Qiao said that the jade pendant was given by the eighth prince.
