After I traveled through the book, I fought back in the Hou Mansion

Chapter 98

Luo Shuiyao turned around and looked at Lu Zhaozhao, completely ignoring Hongying who was calling her.

She raised her hand to tidy up the hair that fell on her forehead, and said with a smile: "Sister Zhao, I wonder what you want to say? Could it be that Sister Zhao wants to play a little game with me?"

Seeing her nonchalant look, Lu Zhaozhao's eyes flashed coldly, but her face still showed a hint of apology. "I'm so sorry, Sister Yao, I don't know why I, a maidservant, suddenly called you."

Finally, she turned to Hongying and scolded her, "Hongying, why are you calling me Sister Yao? You've been by my side for so many years, how can you be so ignorant of etiquette and call me cousin casually?"

When Hongying heard her mistress's words of accusation, she was frightened and knelt down in panic.

Her face was filled with fear, and her voice trembled a little: "Miss, Miss Luo, it's all my fault. I didn't do it on purpose, it's just..."

She hesitated to speak, as if she had something to hide. She glanced at Luo Shuiyao secretly, her eyes seemed to contain a thousand words, but she didn't dare to say a word.

He trembled his lips a few times, but finally swallowed the words that were on the tip of his tongue.

Seeing this, Luo Shuiyao didn't say anything, but just raised the corner of her mouth slightly, as if she was watching a play, thinking secretly in her heart, let's see what tricks the master and servant are going to play.

Lu Zhaozhao originally planned to wait for Luo Shuiyao to ask.

After all, Hongying acted like this. If it were an ordinary person, they would have asked about it long ago out of consideration for their reputation.

But Luo Shuiyao was standing there leisurely, with no emotion in her eyes and no sign of anger at all, which made Lu Zhaozhao not know how to proceed.

But the heroine is the heroine after all. After hesitating for a moment, she quickly calmed herself down.

"Just what? Please explain it clearly." Seeing that Luo Shuiyao did not answer, Lu Zhaozhao made up his mind and continued with gritted teeth.

Originally, Hongying was kneeling on the ground, her heart was like fifteen buckets of water being drawn - up and down.

At this moment, he heard his young lady asking the question, and quickly responded: "It's just..."

She once again secretly glanced at Luo Shuiyao, as if she had made up her mind to go all out. She closed her eyes and shouted loudly: "It's just that the jade pendant that Miss Luo is wearing is the one you lost the other day!"

As soon as these words were spoken, the noble ladies present were suddenly in an uproar and all looked shocked.

Su Yu'an was already feeling very bored and was about to leave, but at this moment, seeing this scene, his eyes involuntarily turned to the jade pendant worn on Luo Shuiyao's waist.

After seeing the shape of the jade pendant clearly, she raised her eyebrows slightly and turned to look at Lu Zhaozhao, wanting to see what this woman wanted to do.

Lu Zhaozhao was staring at the jade pendant on Luo Shuiyao's waist with a look of surprise on her face. She covered her mouth with one hand, pointed at Luo Shuiyao and said, "Sister Yao, how did you get my jade pendant?"

Luo Shuiyao curled her lips slightly and said, "Isn't this what you gave me, Sister Zhao? You said at the time that this jade pendant would be perfect for me to wear, as it would go perfectly with my clothes."

Lu Zhaozhao covered her mouth with her hand and looked at her with an expression of disbelief. She pointed at Luo Shuiyao and shook her head, as if she had lost her voice. She just stared at her, tears streaming down her face.

Lu Zhaozhao seemed to be speechless, but her lackey maid Hongying was not.

Hongying stood up suddenly, supported Lu Zhaozhao, and shouted at Luo Shuiyao, "How is this possible? This jade pendant was my wife's dowry. The jade is extremely rare. My lady has always treasured it and is reluctant to wear it. I wanted to bring this jade pendant to the banquet, but who knew it suddenly disappeared a few days ago. My lady searched for it for a long time and even cried secretly at night."

Having said this, she gently patted her young lady on the back before continuing, "I never thought that this jade pendant would end up in your hands, Miss Luo."

This sounded nice on the surface, but implicitly she was implying that Luo Shuiyao had stolen her young lady's jade pendant.

Luo Shuiyao glanced at Lu Zhaozhao again and saw that she looked like she was about to faint, but her attitude was still nonchalant.

She took a few steps forward, closer to them, and asked again, "Are you sure this jade pendant is yours?"

Lu Zhaozhao leaned in Hongying's arms. After hearing her question, she did not answer. She lowered her eyebrows, making it impossible to see the look in her eyes. People only felt that she was extremely aggrieved.

Luo Shuiyao was not surprised to see this situation. If the heroine was a stupid person, she would not be able to coax the Marquis's wife so well every time after she made things clear to her.

However, the stage has already been set, so how can she be allowed to get away with it?

Luo Shuiyao reached out and untied the jade pendant from her waist, raised it a little higher, and said in a loud voice: "Since Sister Lu and Hongying have both determined that this jade pendant is yours, then let everyone take a look and make their own judgment."

As she spoke, she handed the jade pendant to Su Yu'an who came forward to join in the fun, and motioned her to take a closer look.

Su Yu'an was standing right in front of her, and upon seeing this, she immediately reached out to take it. After taking the jade pendant, she examined it again and again, her eyes growing more interested, before handing it to a noblewoman standing very close to her.

Seeing this, the noble lady hurriedly took it, took a look at it, exchanged glances with Su Yu'an, and then handed it to other noble ladies.

After a while, everyone had seen it all.

Luo Shuiyao took the jade pendant in her hand, shook it in front of Lu Zhaozhao, then held it in her hand again and said, "You are absolutely sure that this jade pendant is yours, right?"

Seeing her like this, Hongying had a bad feeling in her heart, but she pretended to be calm and said, "I am very sure that this is my young lady's jade pendant."

After hearing her words, Luo Shuiyao's mouth corners slowly curled up and her smile gradually widened.

She raised the jade pendant into the air, then let go of it. The pendant fell to the ground and broke into two pieces with a "snap".

"What are you doing?" Lu Zhaozhao was originally in Hongying's arms, watching her quietly. Seeing her doing this, he couldn't help but said in shock and anger.

Seeing her like this, Luo Shuiyao did not respond, but bent down to pick up the jade pendant on the ground and held it in front of her.

Lu Zhaozhao was glaring at her angrily at this moment, her lips trembling with anger. This was her mother's relic. She wanted to take out this valuable item as bait, but it was smashed to pieces by this bitch.

At this moment, the anger in her heart was unprecedentedly high.

Seeing this, Luo Shuiyao not only did not step back, but took a step forward, handed the jade pendant closer to her, and said sarcastically: "Do you want to see what this is in my hand?"

When Lu Zhaozhao heard this, her body stiffened, and a bad premonition surged in her heart. She slowly lowered her eyes and stood there in a daze.
