After reading my mind, my mother and my sisters went crazy
Chapter 33: Falsely Accused of Stealing the Imperial Gift
The banquet was filled with toasts and everyone enjoyed singing and dancing.
They were having fun playing the game of tossing pots.
The last part of the banquet.
All the people in the banquet halls gathered together.
They strolled at night with candlelight, drank wine, wrote poetry, and talked about their ideals in life.
Jiang Yuyao holds Jiang Tiantian and reunites with Jiang Wanyue.
Looking at my second sister and Ouyang Mingxu walking side by side.
Jiang Tiantian grinned, her eyebrows and eyes turned into crescent moons.
[There’s something going on between my second sister and my second brother-in-law]
[What a pity, I didn’t get to eat the melon]
Jiang Yuyao covered her lips and chuckled.
Jiang Wanyue looked away slightly embarrassed.
However, Murong Ye, who heard the inner voice not far away, was slightly startled and looked at Ouyang Mingxu.
There was a hint of worry on his face.
The Duke of Zhenguo was the only son in three generations, and Ouyang Mingxu, the little prince, became the apple of the Queen Mother's eye.
Neither the Queen Mother nor the Duke of Zhenguo would easily agree to this marriage.
Someone might ask, what about you?
How could you, the crown prince and the emperor, allow yourself to marry a fifth-rank daughter of the Jiang family as your crown princess?
Regarding this, Murong Ye said: He is not interested in the position of crown prince.
All I want in this life is to marry her, protect her, and love her...
……
"Ah~ Where's my exquisite jade pendant?"
As the group was strolling around at night with candles, suddenly a woman shouted loudly, looking a little panicked.
This person is Wang Xiaoyu, the daughter of a fifth-rank official in the Ministry of Revenue.
She has an ordinary face and usually doesn't look impressive.
"What exquisite jade pendant?" Seeing her panic, a familiar girl asked hurriedly.
"Sister Yufeng, my exquisite jade pendant is lost." Wang Xiaoyu cried bitterly.
"Exquisite jade pendant? I've known you for a long time, but I've never seen you wearing any exquisite jade pendant." The girl called Yufeng was puzzled.
She was the daughter of a fifth-rank imperial physician in the Imperial Medical Bureau. Her name was Tang Yufeng and she had a very kind face.
"That's not my jade pendant!" Unexpectedly, Wang Xiaoyu cried even harder.
She grabbed Tang Yufeng and said in horror.
"This, this happened at a tea party some time ago. Princess Jia Lan and I had a very pleasant conversation."
"I saw that the jade pendant on her waist was very extraordinary, so I took the initiative to ask her for it to play with for a few days."
"I didn't expect that I would get lost today!" Wang Xiaoyu covered his face and cried.
"It's my fault. I shouldn't have taken the princess' jade pendant to admire it without permission."
"It is said that it was the princess' birthday last year. The emperor specially found a piece of jade rich in spiritual energy and made a jade pendant specifically for the princess. Wearing it all year round has the effect of warming the soul."
Wang Xiaoyu howled louder and louder, and almost fainted from crying.
"What should I do? The gift from the Emperor is lost. What should I do now? Wuwu..."
Wang Xiaoyu cried so hard that her head was throbbing.
After hearing this, everyone's expressions flickered.
It's ridiculous, you are the daughter of a sixth-rank official.
But he said that he had a very pleasant conversation with the princess and even asked the princess for the jade pendant in person. If you tell others about this, who would believe it?
I'm afraid that the loss of the jade pendant is fake, and the real reason is the ulterior motive.
"Don't be anxious, don't cry first." Tang Yufeng hurriedly comforted him.
"Think carefully, when was the last time you saw the exquisite jade pendant?"
Wang Xiaoyu stopped crying immediately after hearing this.
She lowered her head, rubbed her temples, and seemed to be lost in memories.
a long time,
She suddenly looked up, stretched out her hand through the crowd and pointed at Jiang Wanyue who was quietly admiring the flowers.
"I remembered!"
"It's her, it must be her!" Wang Xiaoyu said excitedly.
"I had a few glasses of wine, was feeling hot, and wanted to take a walk by the pond."
"I took the jade pendant off and placed it on the table."
"She was the only one around at the time!"
"She must have stolen it!"
Wang Xiaoyu looked excited.
"Impossible! Wanyue and I have always been together, and she has never seen any jade pendant!"
Ouyang Mingxu was the first to come out to testify.
“Humph,” Wang Xiaoyu snorted coldly, “Everyone in the capital knows that you have admired Jiang Wanyue for a long time.”
"Don't say she just stole the jade pendant. Even if she killed someone today, you would take the initiative to help her dig a grave and bury the body."
"How credible are your words?" Wang Xiaoyu said disdainfully.
"..." Ouyang Mingxu suddenly scratched his head in embarrassment.
Is his intention really known to everyone?
Seeing this scene, Jiang Tiantian's face was filled with anger.
[Bah, frame-up! You bad guys bought by Murong Xue! ]
[In the original plot, Murong Xue always protected her second sister when she saw her second brother-in-law]
[In a fit of rage, he bribed a few young ladies from small families to frame the second sister]
[With evidence from witnesses and objects, the second sister was unable to prove her innocence, and was disqualified from taking the imperial examination for ten years because of the charge of theft]
[Although ten years later, my second sister won the first prize and became the third in the high school. ]
[Unfortunately, this old story was revealed again, and my second sister's career path became extremely difficult.]
[The second sister was finally forced to marry an enemy country, and the influence of this incident was also behind it]
The more Tiantian thought about it, the angrier she became.
He clenched his fists suddenly, his face serious.
[Don't worry, second sister. Tiantian is here this time. Tiantian won't let anyone bully you.]
A childish voice sounded.
Jiang Wanyue suddenly understood everything.
She turned around and looked at Wang Xiaoyu with a cold expression.
"Ms. Wang, there are many people at the banquet, and I am not the only one close to you."
"Why do you think I stole it?"
"I can tell you clearly that I have never seen any jade pendant."
"Besides, the jade pendant is a gift from the emperor."
"Could it be that Miss Wang's family is as wealthy as a country? Otherwise, why would she not even look down upon the gift from the Emperor and just throw it on the table?"
Jiang Wanyue asked back with a sneer.
Everyone thought what he said made sense. How could a normal person treat something bestowed by the Emperor so casually?
Everyone looked at Wang Xiaoyu with some inquiry in their eyes.
Everyone attending the banquet had concubines in their family.
They had all heard about the dirty things that happened in the rear house.
"I, I," Wang Xiaoyu looked panicked for a moment and quickly explained.
"I was a little drunk earlier, and my mind was a little unclear. I didn't mean to neglect the gift from the emperor."
Everyone looked up to the sky speechlessly.
"Since you were drunk, you might have lost the jade pendant somewhere."
"Why do you insist on saying that it was stolen?" Jiang Wanyue glanced at the other person and smiled.
"Miss Wang, do you have a grudge against me? Or, are you being instructed by someone?" Jiang Wanyue asked.
"I, I... No, no, no one ordered me to do that."
Wang Xiaoyu was speechless and tried to justify himself for a moment.
She looked around nervously and suddenly saw a familiar figure.
She quickly pointed at the other person, "It's her! Lin Xiuxiu, she told me before that Jiang Wanyue had been lingering around my table and seemed to have taken something away."
"I never took these things to heart before. If the jade pendant hadn't been lost, I would have almost forgotten about it."
"Otherwise, why am I so sure that she took the jade pendant?"
Wang Xiaoyu looked at Jiang Wanyue with a wronged look.
"Sister Wanyue, my Wang family is not like your Jiang family. Please, return the jade pendant given by the emperor to me."
"If we can't find it, our family will be held accountable by His Majesty and the Princess."
Wang Xiaoyu continued to cry and wail.
Suddenly, she turned her head and bowed from a distance in the direction of Lin Xiuxiu.
"Ms. Lin, I was wrong before. I should have taken your words to heart, wuwu..."
"Hey, I just saw someone misbehaving and I just don't like it. Sister Xiaoyu, don't take it to heart. I'm not blaming you for not trusting me."
Lin Xiuxiu sighed, seeming very helpless.
She took small steps towards the crowd.
"I don't like noisy banquets, so I just sit alone and drink tea."
"Later, I accidentally saw the second young lady of the Jiang family stand up and take the jade pendant from Wang Xiaoyu's banquet table while no one was paying attention."
"Second Miss Jiang, you are a lady from a famous family. Excuse me, but this behavior is too despicable."
"You might as well return the jade pendant as soon as possible. For today, we should just pretend that this incident never happened."
return?
If Jiang Wanyue admitted the matter of the jade pendant today.
Tomorrow morning, the saliva of all the people in Beijing would be enough to drown the Jiang family.
I didn't expect Lin Xiuxiu to look so gentle.
He is a man of deep thoughts.
"Please, give the jade pendant back to me." Wang Xiaoyu cried bitterly.
She suddenly grabbed Jiang Wanyue's arm.
"Please, please, if it really doesn't work, I'll kneel down in front of you and beg you to return the jade pendant to me!"
Jiang Wanyue violently shook off the other person's arm.
She was really about to laugh out loud.
"I repeat, I have never seen any jade pendant."
Jiang Wanyue frowned, her tone chilling to the bone.
"Haha," Hearing this, Lin Xiuxiu smiled gently and sarcastically.
"Hey, what kind of murderer would admit to murdering someone?"
"I clearly saw that it was you who stole the jade pendant!"
"If you want to prove your innocence, why don't you let us search you? To prove your innocence?"
