"Also, judging by the lustrous appearance of these treasures, they must have been buried all at once not long ago. However, for one person to disperse so many treasures and bury them in different places is too obvious. This person also has a thorough understanding of the environment of each courtyard. The possibility of multiple people committing this crime is the most likely."
The bailiff's words were direct and the evidence was right before his eyes.
Everyone is not stupid. If one person carried so many treasures around the mansion, he would have been discovered long ago.
"You sluts, the Luo family has been very kind to you, yet you actually do such sneaky things?" Luo Qing'er said angrily.
The leading bailiff waved his hand and said, "Detain them all."
"It's unfair! We really didn't steal the things."
"Miss, please save me. I know I am wrong."
But the law is merciless and everyone was taken away.
Yun Miao, who was standing next to him, watched the scene quietly. These people were not wronged.
After all, she took advantage of the word "greed" this time and carried out a sting operation.
The original intention of burying the things was not to wrongly accuse Luo Meng'er and the other two. After all, there was no way the five young ladies could steal things from their own house.
But when the cleaning servants saw so many treasures buried in the wall, how could they not be tempted even if they let anyone see them?
As long as there is one person who becomes greedy and takes property that does not belong to him.
Yun Miao's plans were successful.
But what if an accident happens and these servants report it immediately after seeing something?
In fact, the result is the same, except that the case becomes an unsolved case and no one is shot.
However, she underestimated human nature. There were so many greedy people.
"From now on, the servants in each courtyard will be strictly monitored and disciplined. If something like this happens again, the master will also be punished." Old Madam Luo said sternly.
As the mistress, Jiang was also ashamed at this moment.
After all, she was the one who brought about so many petty thieves, so naturally she was the one who got slapped in the face.
Luo Meng'er and the other four turned pale and said in unison: "Yes!"
Yun Miao, who had enjoyed the show, raised her eyebrows slightly and said in a loud voice, "Now that the matter has been resolved, I will no longer stay in this temple of Luo Mansion. Farewell!"
No one dared to stop her, and Yun Miao left the Luo Mansion openly.
…
Flower Show
This is the busiest day in Haicheng.
The lantern festival has been arranged for three days and three nights in succession, just for the election of the flower god on this day.
The banquet was held at Baihua Villa in Haicheng, which was hosted by Madam Jiang Xianglan.
After all, Grand Tutor Sun was a high-ranking official in the capital, so how could he move his family business to Haicheng?
Carriages pulled up at the gate of Baihua Villa, and the noble ladies who had come down to attend the flower show couldn't help but complain, "Why did Madam Gaoming choose to hold the flower show in Haicheng instead of the capital? We have to come all the way from the capital."
"You don't understand this, do you? Haicheng is Madam Jiang's hometown, and it also has a special Duanhua Festival, making it famous as Baihua City. Wouldn't it be more fitting for the grand occasion if the event is held under the name of Baihua Villa to select the Flower God?"
"I see. Then why, in addition to the noble ladies of our capital, also invite those lowly commoners? Doesn't this lower the level of our capital circle?"
The person who spoke was naturally a lady from a prominent family who had come from the capital.
There are daughters of various families from the Shangshu Mansion, the Governor-General's Mansion and the Ministry of War's Vice Minister's Mansion.
Because they knew each other, they arrived at Baihua Villa and huddled together as soon as they got off their horses.
"How can those clowns who are not worthy of being in a formal hall compare with us?" Suddenly, an arrogant voice came from not far away.
A gorgeous carriage slowly stopped beside them, and then a girl in a pink dress lifted the curtain and got out of the carriage with the help of a maid.
The girl's blouse was embroidered with peach blossoms, their cores sewn entirely from pink beads, shimmering in the sunlight, a garment of unparalleled elegance. The hem, a double layer of satin and pink gauze, swayed with her steps, creating a light yet elegant feel. Her hair was styled in a bun, parted between her hair and swayed with a pink pearl hairpin, her charming face also radiating a rosy glow. However, a hint of disdain lingered in her large, phoenix-like eyes.
Seeing her appearance, most of the noble ladies gathered around her eagerly: "Xian'er, you are here too?"
Facing the compliments from the noble ladies, Yun Xian gave a cold "hmm".
Yan Shasha, the daughter of the Shangshu Mansion, stood aside and sneered, "Oh, the daughter of the Prime Minister's Mansion is also attending the Haicheng Flower Show? How bizarre!"
"If you can come, why can't I?" Yun Xian glanced at her indifferently.
This mortal enemy is here too?
Yan Shasha suddenly thought of something and gloated, "I heard that your sister, who has been missing for many years, has returned home. What a joyous occasion! Could it be that this happy event has inspired the Fifth Miss to come to Haicheng to attend the flower show?"
There were four males in the Prime Minister's Mansion, and Yun Xian was the only lady left.
In the past, she took advantage of her four brothers' limelight and acted arbitrarily as she was the only beautiful girl in the Prime Minister's Mansion.
Now that the sixth young lady who had been missing since childhood has returned home, Yun Xian's status has plummeted.
How could Yan Shasha, her mortal enemy, not be happy?
"Hmph, what do my family affairs have to do with you? Even so, I am still the legitimate daughter of the Prime Minister's Mansion, and I am still protected by my four brothers who are major generals. You can't be jealous of this." Yun Xian sneered.
Sparks flew between the two of them, leaving the surrounding noble ladies speechless.
Only Yan Shasha dared to go against Yun Xian, the little bully.
At this moment, the manager of the villa came hurriedly.
Seeing Yun Xian and her group at the door, he immediately kowtowed and said, "Dear ladies, please come in quickly. The flower tea party is ready and we are waiting for your patronage to make our humble home more glorious."
"Hmph!" Yun Xian glared at Yan Shasha and immediately headed into the villa.
However, just as all the noble ladies entered the villa, more and more magnificent carriages arrived at the gate of the villa.
The villa set the time for the flower show at noon, so Yun Xian and others arrived early.
Afterwards, the carriages of major families and wealthy businessmen also stopped here, and young girls dressed in fancy clothes got off their horses with curious looks on their faces.
Family members are not allowed to attend the flower show, and all guests are young people. This will better test their true character of being able to deal with emergencies independently, and is also the first stage of the assessment for the Imperial Concubine.
The Luo family's carriage also stopped at Baihua Villa.
Luo Meng'er, Luo Qing'er, Luo Xue'er, Luo Ning'er, and Luo Qing'er also got out of the car.
Perhaps it was because it was rare to see such a large scene, so the five of them were very cautious.
Many noble ladies have gathered in the flower hall.
After the young ladies of the Luo family entered, a servant shouted, "The young ladies of the Luo family are here!"
Hearing that the young lady of the Luo Mansion had arrived, the flower hall was quiet for a while. Everyone looked towards the entrance and saw Luo Meng'er and the other four people coming in one after another.
