After rebirth, the wife of the Houfu shark went crazy

What's more, they had already shown off in the garden just now, and it was too late to cover it up now.

The guests, sensing something was wrong, couldn't help but whisper to each other.

"It turned out to be the beads of the late Empress Dowager. No wonder they are of such exquisite quality."

"A string of green beads like this is obviously an extraordinary piece. It actually belonged to the late Empress Dowager."

"But how come the late Empress Dowager's pearl necklace is here with the old lady in the Yonglin Marquis's mansion? Could it be that the old lady..."

The guests' whispers reached Zheng's ears, and she was so frightened that she quickly stood up and knelt in front of the ancient curtain.

"Your Majesty, this necklace is not mine. It was the dowry of my daughter-in-law, Jiang Xiyu. I had no idea it belonged to the late Empress Dowager. Please forgive me, Your Majesty and Second Princess Xumin."

Zheng's defense left everyone confused.

"She said this string of beads was the dowry of the wife of the Marquis of Yonglin?"

"Isn't this the late Empress Dowager's pearl necklace? How did it become the dowry of the wife of the Marquis of Yonglin?"

"But don't you find it strange? Why is the wife of the Marquis of Yonglin wearing her daughter-in-law's jewelry? What's more, it was the wife of the Marquis of Yonglin's dowry."

"Really? How shameless would that kind family be to touch their daughter-in-law's dowry?"

The guests' discussions made Zheng feel so embarrassed that she felt like there was no place to hide. If there was, she would have crawled into it.

But no matter how embarrassing it is, it is not as important as saving your life.

You know, it's better to be criticized for taking your daughter-in-law's dowry than to be suspected of stealing the empress dowager's things.

"This is not mine. My daughter-in-law gave it to me." After figuring it out, Zheng said without hesitation.

Everyone looked at her with strange eyes and contempt.

Xu Rui's expression also changed.

Suddenly, a girl with an oval face spoke up, "Miss Xu, why does the five-colored necklace on your neck look so much like mine?"

After hearing what Princess Yunling said, everyone's attention shifted to Xu Rong's neck again.

Xu Rong wore a five-color necklace to make her neck look more slender.

When she was showing off just now, some of the noble ladies were a little jealous. Now they didn't realize that she was also stealing from others, and everyone had a mocking look on their faces.

Xu Rong was originally very worried because of Zheng's accident, and she was worried that the necklace came from an unknown source. Suddenly, when she heard what Princess Yunling said, she was so scared that she broke out in a cold sweat.

She glared at Jiang Xiyu angrily.

They didn't expect that they were all tricked by Jiang Xiyu, but no matter how she glared at him, Jiang Xiyu just lowered his head and didn't even give her a glance.

Princess Gui, who was sitting next to her, suddenly spoke up, "I remember this, too. This was a gift from the late emperor, right?"

Princess Yunling is the legitimate daughter of King Wu. King Wu was very much loved by the late emperor, and his legitimate daughter was also favored by the late emperor, so the late emperor would occasionally reward him with some jewelry when he was happy.

Princess Yunling nodded.

"Indeed, I remember one year when the Western Regions sent tribute, I had just come of age, and this set of five-colored necklaces was one of the gifts my grandfather gave me for my coming of age."

She just felt that it looked familiar and had been looking at it for a long time. Now that someone mentioned it, she was very sure that what Xu Rong was wearing was hers.

After all, five-colored crystals are rare in Yun Dynasty, and it is impossible for two to be exactly the same.

Princess Gui naturally believed Princess Yunling because she also recognized her jewelry.

Princess Gui suddenly looked at Hu and said, "The blood jade hairpin in Third Madam's hand is one I once had."

Mrs. Hu's face turned pale, and the hand holding her sleeve trembled uncontrollably.

Finally, it was her turn. Even though she was covering her hands with her sleeves, they could still see the blood-stained jade hairpin in her hand.

Unexpectedly, the blood jade bracelet Jiang Xiyu gave her turned out to belong to Princess Gui.

The Imperial Concubine who had been sitting silently all this time suddenly looked at Sun. "The South Sea Pearl on Second Madam's neck was a gift from the late Emperor to Concubine Li."

The guests looked at Zheng and Xu Rong in surprise again.

No one would have thought that the jewelry worn by these people who were showing off in front of them just now actually belonged to someone else, not themselves.

I am also a little curious about what is going on with the people in Yonglin Marquis Mansion.

Hu was timid to begin with. When she heard the Imperial Concubine's words, her legs softened and she knelt straight down, her voice trembling. "This South Sea Pearl is not mine. It was given to me by Jiang Xiyu. I have nothing to do with Concubine Li. I don't know how this thing became my sister-in-law's dowry."

Seeing this, Xu Rong and Sun also turned pale and knelt down together.

"This minister's five-colored crystal necklace also belongs to my sister-in-law."

"This minister's blood jade bracelet also belongs to my sister-in-law."

The three people's series of words to distance themselves from the matter stunned the guests present.

I didn’t expect that the things they wore were all from Jiang Xiyu.

But how come all of Jiang Xiyu's things appeared on them?

This is Jiang Xiyu's dowry. The old lady of Yonglin Hou not only used her daughter-in-law's dowry, but she even used her sister-in-law and sisters-in-law in the mansion. She is really unique.

Also, these precious jewels sound like they came from the royal family. How did they become Jiang Xiyu's dowry? Could it be that Jiang Xiyu or her elders stole them?

Doubts were swirling in the guests' minds, but they didn't dare to ask. They could only watch the excitement quietly and wait for someone to answer their questions.

Princess Xumin spoke first, "Since these are all the jewelry of the wife of the Marquis of Yonglin, how did they end up in your possession while she herself is so plain?"

Her words also expressed the doubts of everyone present.

The whole family of Yonglin Marquis' Mansion was really puzzled. Could it be that they had been bullying Jiang Xiyu all along?

Zheng panicked and said without thinking, "We borrowed it from her."

As soon as she finished speaking, Xu Rong hurriedly made up for it, "Today we're holding a flower viewing banquet, and all the nobles are attending. My sister-in-law saw that we didn't have any decent jewelry, so she lent us some of her expensive jewellery from her dowry. We didn't know why she dressed so simply."

Xu Rong's words not only explained the reason to Princess Xu Min, but also implied that Jiang Xiyu dressed like this in order to frame them, directly turning them from predators into victims.

It has to be said that Xu Rong is quite capable. Her explanation instantly made the guests present suspicious of Jiang Xiyu.

After all, those who came this time were all noble ladies and girls from the capital. There would be something going on in their backyard, and everyone present was an expert in domestic fighting. If Jiang Xiyu used this method to frame other female members of the Marquis' Mansion, it was not impossible.

However, when Qing'er heard Xu Rong wrongly accusing Jiang Xiyu, she immediately became angry and didn't care about the presence of so many important people, so she spoke in a hurry.
