Chapter 405 Absurd
Bai Yunxian was a little frightened, "I"
Bai Lan was anxious. Although she was panicking, she remained firm and hugged the panicked Bai Yunxian in her arms to prevent anyone from seeing her expression. "How can you bully me like this! My Yunxian never lies, never lies!"
Xu Zhichun sneered: "My Mingxuan is so young, he would never do such a thing."
Master Qin and Madam Qin didn't leave either. They looked at each other, and Madam Qin nodded gently. She stepped forward and said with a smile, "Young lady, can you let me see the jade pendant?"
"What do you want to do?"
Bai Lan glared at her as if she was trying to snatch her family's "good marriage".
Madam Qin was speechless. "To be honest, I just happened to drop a jade pendant today. I can't remember where I dropped it, and I didn't expect to find it. But it's such a coincidence that the little girl found it, so let me take a look."
Xu Zhichun flatly denied that the jade pendant had anything to do with Liang Xiucai. Others might not be able to hear it, but how could the couple not hear it?
This means that even if the girl got the jade pendant from Liang Xiucai for unknown reasons, she cannot prove that it was Liang Xiucai's. This jade pendant must be just an ordinary ornament, without any personal mark.
If this matter really gets brought to court, the girl will definitely not be able to bear the truth, but Xu Zhichun and others certainly don't want that to happen.
If the matter gets out of hand, it won't benefit anyone.
It would be better if she came forward and took responsibility for it, so that everyone would be free.
It also puts an end to the speculation of some people with bad intentions.
Who can say that among those who came to congratulate and attend the banquet today, there are not some who have impure intentions, are full of jealousy, and are eager to cause some trouble?
When everyone heard what Mrs. Qin said, they suddenly understood.
"Oh, that must be Madam Qin's!"
"Is that even necessary? Otherwise, would Madam Qin still rely on others for things?"
"That's what I said!"
"Hey Yunxian, please take out the jade pendant and let me see it."
Bai Yunxian was dumbfounded. "Impossible! This is what Mingxuan gave me, exactly!"
Liang Mingxuan came out of the study and shook his head: "I don't have it."
“.”
Bai Yunxian didn't expect him to appear suddenly, and was startled and lowered his head.
She still felt guilty. After all, this jade pendant was not given to her by Liang Mingxuan. She could deceive everyone, including herself, but she could not deceive Liang Mingxuan.
Liang Lizheng: "Isn't this simple? Just take it out and let Madam Qin take a look, then you'll know."
Bai Lan was also confused. This—
In fact, she didn't believe that Liang Mingxuan would like her daughter. Now that the owner of the lost item asked her about it, how could she not be panicked?
Being panicked is one thing, but more importantly, she couldn't bear to do it.
"Even if we found it, this jade pendant is ours. How can we give it away for free?"
Everyone: “.”
"cut!"
Wow, what you picked up is yours, right?
Madam Qin smiled and said softly, "Of course I can't let you pick it up for free. How about I give you ten taels of silver as a thank you gift?"
Bai Lanshi and Bai Yunxian were both shocked.
The villagers took a deep breath in envy.
"Ten taels!"
"Oh, ten taels."
I can't go on talking about it anymore. What if someone is cunning and wants Madam Qin to tell everyone about the patterns on the jade pendant? Madam Qin will definitely not be able to tell it.
Xu Zhichun winked at Muxiang.
Mu Xiang blinked, stunned. It took Xu Zhichun several attempts for her to finally realize what was going on. Suddenly, she stepped forward and snatched the jade pendant from Bai Yunxian's hand. "Mrs. Qin, please take a look."
"you!"
Bai Yunxian and Bai Lan were shocked and angry, staring at each other.
But if something is not yours, it is not yours. You can deceive yourself while holding it in your hand, but if it is taken away by someone else, you cannot justifiably take it back.
Madam Qin looked at the flower and bird patterns on it and smiled with surprise. "Yes, this jade pendant is exactly the one I accidentally dropped. Miss Bai, thank you so much! Aunt Xi, quickly give Miss Bai ten taels of silver."
"Yes, ma'am."
Nanny Xi took out a ten-liang silver note on the spot and placed it in Bai Yunxian's hand with a smile, "Miss Bai, thank you very much. Our wife likes this jade pendant very much."
Bai Yunxian subconsciously held the banknote in his hand, but when he came to his senses, it was too late. Nanny Xi had already left.
“I, I—”
Impossible, impossible! The jade pendant clearly fell from Mingxuan's cousin, how did it become Madam Qin's?
What is going on?
"No! No! This jade pendant—"
Xu Zhichun interrupted her: "It was all a misunderstanding before, which is understandable. I guess Miss Bai must have been misled by someone. Fortunately, the truth is now out!"
Bai Yunxian wanted to deny it, but he felt guilty.
Misleading? If you really want to say that, it's not wrong. Didn't my aunt mislead me?
She is not smart and is greedy, but that doesn't mean she is so stupid that she has no discernment.
Even if I hadn't thought about it before, I vaguely thought about it now.
Auntie has no good intentions
Of course, even if she had thought it through at that time, she would still be willing to give it a try.
But it turned out that she lost.
Bai Yunxian sobbed sadly and began to cry.
The village head's wife sighed, "It seems Madam Xu is right. Miss Yunxian must have picked up the jade pendant and heard something about it, and then misunderstood it. It's normal for a young girl to believe everything she hears. Let's leave this matter here, and don't say anything more!"
Everyone knows that a girl's reputation is important, so she should be nice and not say anything nonsense.
It's normal for her to have such a wrong idea for a while. After all, who doesn't want to marry a scholar?
"Yes, yes, it's okay as long as we clear up the misunderstanding."
"Really?"
Bai Yunxian opened his mouth, but was speechless.
What else could she do now? Not only would her cousin Mingxuan definitely not admit that the jade pendant was his, but she also didn't have it in her hands anymore.
Could she possibly snatch it back again?
Bai Lan was overjoyed, beaming and nodding repeatedly. "Yes, yes, it's a misunderstanding, it's just a misunderstanding! My Yun Xian is very simple-minded. She must have been instigated by some foolish words. This girl is usually very smart."
She was very happy to get ten taels of silver.
As for other things, is that something she can think of?
Everyone laughed, who cares whether her girl is smart or not?
Anyway, this is the situation. Anyone with eyes saw it, and anyone with a heart heard it. Even if there were no gossip, if she were to propose marriage in the future, any reasonable and good family would not consider her.
A false alarm.
After about four o'clock, people gradually dispersed and the finishing work was completed.
Madam Qin, Mr. Qin, Qin Ning'an and the Qin family's servants also said goodbye.
Xu Zhichun and Liang Minglang thanked the two of them solemnly.
"I'll come to thank you another day."
"It's just a simple matter. Mr. Liang, Mrs. Xu, please don't hesitate!"
They smiled at each other and knew what was going on.
