Marrying Wife and Concubine Together: After Rebirth, I Remarried the Scumbag's Father on the Sp

He frowned and said, "Please forgive me, Madam Hou. I didn't mean to embarrass you on purpose. If I can't find the South Pearl, I will compensate you for the loss. My mother, wife, and children at home still need my care. I beg Madam Hou to have some mercy on them!"

After saying this, he bowed.

Sang Qiutang's face turned pale with anxiety. Cao Aiwen was too good at provoking. Wasn't she deliberately making Lin Yiwan hateful?

She subconsciously wanted to speak, but Lin Yiwan stopped her with a look.

She said in a serious tone, "Shopkeeper, this lady is not deliberately making things difficult for you. I just hope you can think twice before you act. No one can search someone else's body at will. It must be done under the witness of the government. Otherwise, bad rumors will spread in the future, and you will still lose your future!"

The shopkeeper was so frightened that he broke out in cold sweats. Thanks to the Marquis's wife's reminder, otherwise, he would have almost made a big mistake.

He nodded hurriedly: "Madam, you are right. I will send someone to report to the police right away!"

Seeing the shopkeeper send someone away in a hurry, Su Zining suddenly felt a little uneasy.

She knows Cao Aiwen better than anyone else. She is very selfish and narrow-minded. How could she cooperate in finding the lost South Pearl?

Unless, that's what she did!

She wants to frame Lin Yiwan?

She turned to look at Lin Yiwan, but found that she did not seem to have stolen the Nanzhu. Otherwise, why would she remind the shopkeeper to report to the police!

Suddenly, her eyes fell on Sang Qiutang.

But after a moment, she looked away again.

She subconsciously reached into her sleeve and took out a round object.

She felt as if struck by lightning, and her whole body began to tremble violently.

How could it be on her?

No, we have to move quickly!

She gritted her teeth and reached out to tug at Cao Aiwen's arm without hesitation: "Miss, have you forgotten your father's instructions that we buy gifts and return home quickly, and not stay outside for too long?"

Cao Aiwen interrupted without hesitation: "Do you think I don't want to leave? But someone is crying thief, so I have to expose her true face."

Su Zining immediately reminded: "Miss, please be careful with your words. How can you slander others so recklessly?"

Cao Aiwen suddenly lost her patience and angrily reached out to push away the annoying Su Zining.

Unexpectedly, she grabbed her shoulders in a hurry and they both fell to the ground.

Cao Aiwen cursed: "You bitch, get out of here!"

Su Zining stood up in embarrassment. She hurriedly reached out to support Cao Aiwen, but she was avoided by him with a look of disgust on her face.

She resentfully scolded: "Sooner or later I will ask my father to sell you, you shameless bitch!"

Su Zining bit her lips in grievance, stood aside with her head down, and dared not say another word.

Lin Yiwan watched the show with a hint of amusement in her eyes.

Soon people from the government office came. Since the room was full of women, they also brought an old maid with them.

The old nanny spoke first: "Since it's a body search, then I'll ask you first: who owns this South Pearl?"

The shopkeeper quickly replied, "It's been bought by Miss Cao, and I have her IOU as proof!"

Cao Aiwen nodded heavily: "Yes, I spent 30,000 taels of silver to buy it. The lost South Pearl is very expensive!"

The old nanny raised an eyebrow and said, "Miss Cao, you suspect that the people present here stole the South Pearl, but they are all nobles. If they are innocent, how do you want compensation?"

Cao Aiwen's face flushed immediately. She asked hesitantly, "You still want compensation?"

The old nanny nodded: "Of course I have to compensate them. These are all noble people. Even if I take action as an official, I still have to give them an explanation. I can't let the official do this, right?"

Cao Aiwen's eyes flashed with intense struggle, and she subconsciously asked: "But what if it is proven that one of them is the thief?"

The old lady said, "It depends on what you want. If it's done publicly, you can sue. If it's done privately, you can get compensation!"

Cao Aiwen was shocked. They could pay for the 30,000 taels of silver. How great would it be for her to get a treasure of the "Treading Snow to Find Plum Blossoms" store for free?

She quickly said, "I want compensation. Whoever stole the pearl must compensate me with thirty thousand taels of silver!"

The old lady said without hesitation: "Yes, but what if they are proven innocent in the end?"

Cao Aiwen shook his head vigorously: "Impossible, they are definitely not innocent!"

Lin Yiwan interjected, "Ms. Cao, why are you so sure? Could it be that you stole the Nanzhu to slander someone?"

Cao Aiwen was so frightened that he shuddered all over, but he dared not admit it.

She retorted sharply, "How could I do such a thing? Lin Yiwan, don't act like a guilty thief and try to shift the blame!"

The old nanny pressed her hand down sternly: "Miss Cao, please don't scream. We'll soon find out who the real thief is. How about this? You also compensate them a total of 30,000 taels of silver!"

A ferocious glint flashed in Cao Aiwen's eyes. She definitely couldn't compensate for the money anyway!

She said in a cold voice: "In that case, Mammy, why are you still hesitating? Search me quickly!"

The old nanny didn't hesitate and quickly walked up to Lin Yiwan: "Madam Hou, I'm sorry!"

She opened her arms in cooperation: "Mammy is an official, I should cooperate!"

The old lady searched very carefully, and in order to avoid suspicion, she asked all the men outside to wait outside.

After a moment, she slowly spoke: "The Marquis's wife did not hide the Nanzhu on her body!"

Cao Aiwen pointed at Sang Qiutang without hesitation: "Search her again!"

The old woman frowned and said, "I am doing my job, and I value fairness. I should search the people around Miss Cao!"

She walked towards Su Zining and searched him skillfully.

Cao Aiwen curled his lips in disgust, but said nothing.

Soon the old nanny announced that Nanzhu was not with Su Zining either, and began to prepare to search Sang Qiutang.

Cao Aiwen stared at her movements intently, his eyes filled with pride.

The Nanzhu was hidden in Sang Qiutang's sleeve, and she had put it there with her own hands.

Once they find her, not only will her reputation as Sang Qiutang be ruined, but she will also be required to pay a compensation of 30,000 taels of silver.

Not only did she get the store's treasure for nothing, but she also gave Lin Yiwan a severe setback.

It feels so good!

She is finally going to be proud of herself!

If Sang Qiutang is branded as a thief, Lin Yiwan will also be despised.

From now on, neither of them will be able to hold their heads up again!

You deserve it!

Cao Aiwen snorted coldly, trying his best to suppress his excitement and urged: "Old Madam, quickly announce the results of the body search!"

The old lady frowned and said, "Miss Sang doesn't have any on her either!"

Cao Aiwen was like a basin of cold water poured over his head. How could there be no such thing?

She clearly put it in there with her own hands!

impossible!

She quickly rushed forward and said, "You definitely didn't search thoroughly. Let me search again for you!"

The old woman grabbed her wrist and said, "Miss Cao, what are you doing? What qualifications do you have to search people randomly?"

Cao Aiwen struggled hard: "It's on her body, you didn't search carefully at all!"

The old lady's face looked extremely ugly. She dragged Cao Aiwen back angrily and accidentally grabbed her purse, and immediately a round South Pearl rolled out.

Lin Yiwan was the first to react. She subconsciously shouted, "The lost Nanzhu!"
