Reborn, I am doing involution on Jinshan

The youngest son Mu Ye also said: "You are all bad people, I hate you and don't want to see you." After that, he rushed towards Zhao Ran angrily.

"bad guy"

"You are all bad people."

Dongfang Zhuoxing quickly pulled him back and whispered something in his ear, and Xiao Muye quieted down. He pursed his lips, still furious, his eyes filled with hatred.

Oriental Pearl: "Xiao Ye, let them go, brothers, stop making trouble, let them investigate things that your sister has not done."

"Guards, let's evacuate." Zhao Ran snorted coldly, kicked away a chair that was blocking the way, and strode away with a dozen guards.

As soon as they left, Cui Lizi erupted in anger, stabbing her eldest daughter in the back with her finger and yelling, "What a disgrace! What's wrong with you? Why are you messing with that little hot pepper? Don't you have a gold hairpin too?"

Oriental Pearl shed tears: "Mother, I didn't steal it. I don't know why there was an extra gold hairpin in the cabinet. Even if I took it, I must have hidden it more secretly. How could I be so stupid as to let the guards find it?"

Zhuo Xing: "Mother, we still have to wait for the investigation."

Xiao Muye said angrily: "Yes, mother, please don't scold my sister." After that, he put his arm around Dongfang Mingzhu's arm, fearing that his sister would be bullied.

Cui asked doubtfully, "Zhu'er, it really isn't you."

"No." Dongfang Mingzhu shook her head, her eyes red, and touched Xiao Muye's little head.

The maid Zijuan rushed in from outside and said in a panic: "Miss, I heard the servants said that a gold hairpin was found in your boudoir. How could this be?"

Oriental Pearl wiped her tears with a handkerchief and said unhappily, "You ask me, and I still have to ask you? Where did you go just now?"

Oriental Pearl looked at her and suddenly found that the jade hairpin on her head was gone.

"Where's the jade hairpin I gave you? Why is it gone?"

"Maybe I walked too fast when I came back, and I don't know when the jade hairpin fell off." Zijuan's mouth twitched slightly, and she made up an excuse.

Cui asked impatiently, "All of us in the North Courtyard were waiting for the palace guards to come and search, and you ran out instead. Tell me, what were you doing? Why are you so flustered?"

Zijuan fell to her knees, trembling with fear. "Second Madam, my brother wanted to see me. When I came back, I saw the guards had already arrived. To avoid causing trouble, I waited until they left before coming in."

Seeing that her fear didn't seem fake, Cui's expression softened and she said, "Alright, stop acting like a coward and a fool. Stand aside."

"Thank you, Second Madam, the eldest lady, and the two young masters." Zijuan bowed deeply as if she had been pardoned, and stood with the other servants.

Oriental Pearl calmed down, her brows furrowed, "Mother, what should I do?"

Cui snorted coldly, "What are we going to do? Jin Cancan was lost and found again, and the little princess didn't suffer any loss. As for who should be held responsible, let your father investigate it himself. Do you think we should report it to the authorities?"

The old maid interrupted, "Madam, that gold hairpin is so valuable, priceless. If we can't find it, they might report it to the police."

Oriental Pearl complained: "Madam Mei, I found it, why are you encouraging others and destroying your own prestige?"

"I haven't told you guys yet, go hang out in the East Courtyard for no reason. Don't think I don't know that you guys are always stealing and robbing when that little bitch goes to the Taoist temple."

Cui was furious: "You are not good enough to help, but you are more likely to cause trouble. If you continue to cause trouble for us mother and daughter, pack up and go back to your hometown."

The servants fell to their knees with a thud: "We will never dare to do that again."

"Second Madam, please have mercy on me. Miss, please have mercy on me." Several people bowed in unison.

Oriental Pearl's pretty little girl sank in thought: "Get up! Stop kneeling down all the time! It's shortening my life!"

Several servants looked at each other and said, "Yes...", and stood up in unison.

Cui waved her hand and said calmly, "You guys go down first and wait at the door."

After watching the servants walk away, Cui finally spoke: "Zhuoxing, take your brother back to do his homework. If you don't do it now, it will be dawn soon."

Seven-year-old Mu Ye had been wanting to go out and play for a long time. He said in a baby voice, "Mom, my brother and I will go back."

"Wait."

Nine-year-old Zhuo Xing paused her brother and asked worriedly, "Sister, what are you going to do about this? Do you want me to go and explain to father that you're being wronged?"

Dongfang Mingzhu smiled slightly: "Sister has a way to deal with it. Xing'er, you should go and do your homework first. Only when you study well will father be happy."

"Well, we'll listen to my sister. Mother, I'll go back then." Zhuoxing patted his brother and walked away one after the other.

Cui smiled and watched her brother disappear at the end of the corridor. She withdrew her gaze.

His expression was serious: "This is strange. If the little princess is not seriously ill, how can she still have time to dress herself up and take care of her jewelry?"

Oriental Pearl was annoyed: "Maybe she's confused because of illness. It's inexplicable. The most bizarre thing is how did she find her jewelry from me? This is a malicious frame-up."

The more I thought about it, the angrier I got: "Bitch is just hypocritical."

Cui frowned. "Zhu'er, don't be rude. It will affect your image. Think twice before you act. You are good in everything except your impatience. When you find a husband in the future, your emotions will show on your face, which will easily lead to big trouble. You should hide yourself so that no one can see through you. Do you understand?"

"Well, mother, it's not that I don't get along with the little princess. Look who I've had arguments with. Dong Miaoyu, Mai Xiaozhen, and the Seventh Princess all get along very well with me."

Cui said gently, "Alright. Just think it through. We, illegitimate children, shouldn't stand out too much. Ruiyue is still your sister, and a candidate for the future empress. Don't do something evil like fratricide. It goes against the will of heaven."

Dongfang Mingzhu lowered her eyes and replied respectfully, "Mother, I have learned your lesson, and I remember it. It's just that the little princess often gives me trouble, and I can't help but feel wronged. But I will never do anything to hurt her. After all, we are both children of Prince Gong's mansion."

Cui sighed softly, stroked Dongfang Mingzhu's hair and said, "I know you've suffered a lot of grievances in the mansion over the years, but our status is no different from others. Ruiyue's mother disappeared, and the people she brought with her are inevitably angry. Seeing that we have so many illegitimate children, they are even more dissatisfied.

But she is, after all, the daughter of the first wife and deeply favored by the prince, so her future is limitless. If you fight with her, you will only suffer."

Dongfang Mingzhu bit her lip, a flicker of resentment flashing across her eyes, but quickly vanished. She said, "Don't worry, mother. I understand the importance of this and will think twice before acting in the future. It's just that the servants in this mansion have always been opportunistic. Seeing that the young princess is favored, they have become even more disrespectful to me. Just like today's hairpin incident, it's obvious that someone is deliberately instigating a conflict between the young princess and me."

Cui sighed softly, "As long as your mother is here, I will protect you three. You can relax for now. Today, I noticed that your personal maid was acting strangely. You must be on guard against others. Be careful with these servants."

"Okay, mother, I will pay attention next time." Oriental Pearl nodded.

"It's not a matter of attention. I think that person is so brave that he hid the stolen goods in your boudoir. You can't join forces with others to bully yourself. They are outsiders and will always be outsiders." Seeing that she was not getting the point, Cui raised her voice.
