Chapter 10 Accountability
An hour later, when Hongying heard Yuping leave, a sneer flashed in her eyes.
She really wanted to see what Yuping's expression would be when she found out that something was missing.
Unfortunately, she was not sure how many good things Shen Shuyi had in his hands, so she had to serve him wholeheartedly.
Thinking of this, Hongying went to Shen Shuyi's room again to keep watch for her.
Less than half an hour later, Yuping staggered back, her face pale: "Miss..."
Glancing at Hongying, Yuping paused abruptly about what she was saying.
"Sister Yuping, where have you been? Why are you in such a hurry?" Hongying asked with a smile.
Shen Shuyi propped himself up and looked at her.
Yuping wanted to say something but stopped herself and held back in silence.
"Hongying, you have been busy all day, go and rest early." Shen Shuyi said in a calm voice.
"Yes."
When Hongying left, she deliberately made her footsteps louder, and then turned back quietly.
Yu Ping was prepared and pretended to be panicked, "Miss, that place seems to have been dug up, and nothing was found!"
"How is that possible!" Shen Shuyi said angrily.
Yuping knelt down immediately and said, "Miss, it is absolutely true. I saw the soil on the ground was loose, and I searched for a long time but couldn't find anything."
Hearing this, Hongying curled the corner of her lip and left quietly.
After making sure she was gone, Yu Ping smiled, got up and moved closer to Shen Shuyi, whispering, "Miss, Hongying has really taken the bait."
Although Yuping could understand that the young lady wanted to use Princess Guining to deal with Hongying, she didn't know what the young lady was going to do.
Shen Shuyi counted the days and realized that there were still a few days left before Princess Guining got angry in her previous life. She thought that Princess Guining must still have some patience now.
*
The next day, early in the morning.
Hongying had not yet risen when there was a sudden commotion outside. She got up and looked outside, and saw Master Huaihai and dozens of guards rushing in.
Zhiyuan was standing aside and didn't know what exactly happened. He only saw Shen Shuyi and Yuping dragging their sick bodies and negotiating with Master Huaihai with serious expressions.
"I'm really sorry for disturbing the mage, but this matter is of great importance and I dare not take it lightly. I can only ask the mage for help." Shen Shuyi said earnestly.
Huai Hai said in a deep voice: "This kind of thing is not what Miss Shen wants. It is calculated intentionally or unintentionally. Miss Shen is in a humble room, so she is naturally defenseless."
Shen Shuyi blamed himself and said, "But no matter what, the loss of the pagoda cannot be made up for by a simple omission. Now I just hope to find the pagoda back to calm the princess's anger."
Before Master Huai Hai could speak again, the head of the guards beside him said in a deep voice: "Miss Shen, please tell us clearly when and where the pagoda was lost."
Shen Shuyi pondered and said, "I happened to be ill these few days, so the progress was slow. I usually kept the pagoda in a box under the table, but this morning I suddenly found that it was missing."
The guard frowned: "So he was still here last night?"
Shen Shuyi responded: "He was still there yesterday afternoon, but I don't know what happened after that."
The guard didn't ask any more questions. He clasped his hands together and said to Huai Hai, "I'm sorry!"
"Seal off the gates of the Buddhist temple and search it immediately!"
Immediately, the guards were divided into several teams, starting with Shen Shuyi's side and searching room by room.
All of a sudden, all the monks were driven together, and the pilgrims who were staying in the backyard were also asked to leave.
When Hongying saw this scene, her face turned pale.
Although they were not sure what they were looking for, they instinctively felt panicked.
After all, even if she had nothing to do with this matter, if the pagoda was discovered, Shen Shuyi would no longer trust her.
Hongying could only hope that Shen Shuyi really had not registered the pagoda. In this way, even if the evidence was conclusive, she would not be able to prove that the thing was hers.
Hongying forced herself to stay awake and stood beside Yuping, her voice even trembling unconsciously.
"Yuping, what's going on? What are they searching for?"
Yuping glanced at her and whispered, "I heard that Princess Guining lost a piece of jewelry, so she sent someone to search."
Hearing this, Hongying felt a little relieved. If it was a piece of jewelry, it couldn't be the one in her hand.
As long as the things she took had nothing to do with Princess Guining, even if Shen Shuyi was furious, she was the Madam's person after all, so she would not dare to do anything to her.
Thinking of this, Hongying gradually relaxed.
On the other hand, Zhiyuan's face was not looking good. After all, he had a lot of gold and silver hidden in his room. If they were searched out, he would have a hard time explaining.
Of course, the first place the guards searched was Shen Shuyi's yard, and they made a lot of noise.
When they searched Hongying's room, Hongying's expression became visibly nervous.
Not long after, a voice came from the guard in the room, and then someone ran out: "Sir, we found it!"
The group turned their heads and saw that the box in the guard's hand was half open, with a red-gold pagoda placed safely inside.
Shen Shuyi said angrily: "Hongying! What's going on!"
Hongying was feeling very flustered when she was suddenly scolded. Her legs went weak and she fell to her knees.
Yu Ping, who was standing by, also accused coldly, "Hongying, what's wrong with you? How dare you steal the young lady's things!"
Hongying's mind buzzed and everything went blank.
"Capture him!" The leader of the guards frowned and spoke in a deep voice.
Immediately, two people stepped forward and grabbed Hongying.
Hongying had never seen such a scene before. She was frightened and asked subconsciously, "What young lady's things? This is clearly mine! Second young lady, even if you don't like me, you can't wrongly accuse me like this! Do you have any evidence to prove that this thing is yours!"
Hongying subconsciously wanted to excuse herself, thinking that this thing was neither registered nor had any mark on it.
Shen Shuyi couldn't produce any evidence at all.
Shen Shuyi's almond-shaped eyes were cold, and he looked straight at her and said slowly: "As far as I know, your father and brother are both slaves in the palace. The wealth of several lifetimes combined is not worth a gem on the pagoda. How could they have such a valuable thing?"
Hongying bit back, "I think the Second Miss is trying to take my things for herself! This thing was given to me by someone by chance, it clearly belongs to me!"
Before Shen Shuyi could speak, a graceful figure dressed in colorful brocade clothes and a blue gauze covering the outside slowly came over, surrounded by a crowd of people.
"Oh, your stuff?" A pleasant voice sounded, and everyone turned to look.
The visitor was a gorgeous woman in her thirties, with a plump and graceful figure, wearing a long skirt with dark gold patterns and a golden kingfisher crown on her flying bun. She looked luxurious and gorgeous, with an air of majesty without even being angry, displaying the royal dignity.
The group of people bowed and greeted: "Greetings to Princess Guining!"
Hongying looked at the woman in front of her in disbelief. Her whole body began to tremble uncontrollably and her face turned pale.
Princess Guining stopped in front of Hongying, looked down at her, and said sternly: "I don't know how the pagoda I ordered to be built for the Queen Mother became the property of a lowly servant like you!"
