Liuyun was the one who said on the third floor that the bracelet on Liu Mingyu's hand was worth at least five thousand taels and that the Liu family was not short of money.

It is precisely because she also has a similar one that she knows its value.

The reason why she knew that she had that bracelet was because before Mu Yunyao came, Liu Mingyu had been showing it off to her maid.

She only took a glance and didn't see the style clearly. Now that her aunt held it in front of her, she couldn't help but raise her wrist as well.

It was another gold and enamel bracelet that she was wearing there, and the two looked almost identical.

The Queen Mother had actually had selfish motives when she bestowed the bracelet. The Shen family was extremely wealthy at the time, and Shen had a great talent for business. The Queen Mother's family, the Xu family, was also a wealthy family, but their descendants were not good at business.

There is a sense of living beyond one's means.

The empress dowager wanted to ask for the descendants of the Xu family to marry a daughter of the Shen family, but the Xu family was originally a family of military generals, and they had already produced the empress dowager. If they married the daughter of a wealthy merchant, even if the emperor was born to her, suspicion would arise.

Therefore, she thought of a roundabout way to arrange marriage with Shen's daughter for Xu's grandchildren.

But no one expected that all the male members of her Xu family would die on the battlefield, leaving only her younger brother, leaving behind an orphan girl.

Shen's daughter was also abducted early on, and Shen never recovered from the blow and died of illness at a young age.

And the two gold enamel bracelets that look exactly the same are indeed exactly the same, because they were originally a pair.

Princess Liuyun didn't know the inside story, but her aunt knew it.

My aunt was originally a maidservant who came with the Empress Dowager as a dowry, and was also her confidant, which is why she was arranged by the Empress Dowager to be by the side of the only bloodline of the Xu family.

Princess Liuyun became furious when she saw the bracelet.

He slammed the table beside him.

There was a loud "bang" and the teacup on the table fell over, with the tea spilling all over the floor.

"Liu Mingyu, you are so bold! You dare to covet the things that the Queen Mother gave you."

This matter has nothing to do with whether the bracelet was stolen or not. No one should touch anything given by the empress dowager.

"Take her back to Jingzhao Prefecture. I will take the bracelet back to the palace and wait for the Queen Mother to decide."

Princess Liuyun concluded the matter with just one sentence.

Liu Mingyu was still trying to struggle, but the officers had already stepped forward and arrested her.

This time there is no difference between men and women. After all, she was just a suspect before and her family will not let it go if she is innocent but is approached by these men.

But now it has been confirmed that the bracelet in her hand was not hers, and it has been basically confirmed that it was stolen, so they will naturally not be polite.

Seeing that Liu Mingyu was about to be taken away, Su Mei stamped her feet anxiously.

Mu Yunyao also spoke out to stop him at the right time.

"and many more."

Princess Liuyun looked at her, frowned and asked in a deep voice.

"What do you mean?"

"Don't be upset, Lady County. I'm calling on behalf of Madam Su. Miss Liu picked out a lot of jewelry and she hasn't paid for it yet."

After Mu Yunyao finished speaking, Su Mei nodded quickly.

"Yes, yes, yes, I haven't paid yet."

Liuyun County Lady's brows relaxed, the corners of her lips twitched unconsciously as she spoke directly.

"Then send it to Lord Liu's residence and have them settle the account. As for Miss Liu, she should stay at the Jingzhao government office and wait for the Queen Mother's decision."

If you dare to covet the Queen Mother's reward, you must bear the consequences.

After Liu Mingyu was taken away, Princess Liuyun's anger subsided a little.

Looking at Mu Yunyao, he said, "This bracelet is now a piece of evidence, so I won't give it back to you. Wait until the Queen Mother has seen it, and then you can come to the palace to get it."

These words sounded as if the imperial palace was an ordinary place that anyone who wanted to enter could enter, but Mu Yunyao understood that Princess Liuyun was telling her that the empress dowager might summon her after this incident.

Mu Yunyao bowed slightly, "Thank you, County Lord."

Liuyun County Lady waved her hand and didn't care. She just asked, "You just said you would take me to a place. Can we go now?"

Mu Yunyao looked at the opposite side and nodded, then she seemed to have thought of something and said to Liuyun County Master.

"Ask Madam Su to get us a new carriage, to keep a low profile."

The others didn't know what the two meant and were all curious.

Miao Shan County Lady was even more impolite and said, "Mu Yunyao, you are so mysterious, are you planning to plot against someone again?"

Mu Yunyao couldn't stand her sarcastic words and was about to refute but someone spoke before her.

"Who are you plotting against? Didn't you say it yourself? Was it Mu Mingzhu who was plotting against Yun Yao in the incident at Huguo Temple that day? Did she get herself involved instead?

What is your yin and yang now? "

In fact, County Lady Liuyun didn't really like playing with County Lady Miaoshan, but as a child without a mother, good Liuyun had some sympathy for her. Sometimes, when Miaoshan came to them on her own initiative, they would not drive her away.

However, her sarcastic words made Princess Liuyun unhappy.

"Then she dares to say that she has nothing to do with this. Otherwise, who would be so stupid as to pit themselves when plotting against others?"

Now, Princess Liuyun doesn't even need to say anything, everyone around her is unhappy?

"Miao Shan, did your brain get hit by a door? Don't you understand that you should not have the intention to harm others, but you must be on guard against others?"

"That's right. If someone plots against you, just wait for them to plot against you. If someone slaps you on the left side, do you plan to slap your right cheek as well instead of fighting back?"

Although no one mentioned what happened that day, their words showed that they felt that Mu Yunyao had done nothing wrong.

Mu Yunyao looked at them and felt warm from the bottom of her heart. Why hadn't she met such a group of lovely people in her previous life?

While they were talking, Su Mei had already asked people to prepare three carriages and horses. In addition, she also arranged for several female guards to accompany them.

There was no way. Everyone here had a high status. If anything happened, she would be in big trouble.

Several people got on the carriages one by one. Mu Yunyao was about to sit on the last carriage, but was stopped by Lord Liuyun.

"Don't go anywhere, just stay with me."

Having said that, he dragged the person into the car.

Mu Yunyao shook her head helplessly and cast an apologetic look at the girl who was about to get on the car.

The girl didn't really care and waved her hand, "You and Liuyun go in the same car, I'll sit in the back, we're going to watch a play anyway."

The carriage stopped in front of Xuanpingfang and the girls got off and walked.

Since most of the houses in Xuanpingfang are small with two or three courtyards, the status and position of the people living here are limited.

Liuyun asked in confusion, "What are we doing here?"

She usually went out of the palace, so she knew what kind of people lived in Xuanpingfang. Girls from good families generally wouldn't go here.

Liuyun asked this for a long time but no one responded. When she turned around, she saw Mu Yunyao looking around, not knowing what she was looking for.
