Princess Sheng immediately became worried. She said anxiously, "Madam, this isn't good. You were searched in the jewelry store. If this gets out, how will the people outside view you?"
Lin Yiwan said calmly, "The ruby earrings are very valuable. You and I are both suspects. If that's the case, then we should openly explain ourselves to the shop and the ladies before us!"
Princess Sheng's eyes struggled: "But!"
Lin Yiwan interrupted softly, "There's no buts. Besides, Madam Liu will compensate me. It's just a body search, right? It won't hurt a bit, I'm not afraid!"
Madam Liu felt that Princess Sheng was wasting some time, so she quickly stepped forward and twisted her hips to push her to the side.
She drooped her eyes and said, "Don't block me from searching you. There are so many eyes watching me. I have to give everyone an explanation right away!"
Without further hesitation, she reached out to Lin Yiwan's purse.
She had a slight smile on her face at first, but after about a cup of tea, her heart sank!
No!
She searched almost every part of Lin Yiwan's body, but could not find any trace of the ruby earrings.
This really hit her hard!
How could this be?
Seeing the cold sweat dripping down her forehead, Lin Yiwan asked calmly, "Mrs. Liu, did you find anything?"
Madam Liu's expression instantly turned ferocious and terrifying. She raised her hand and fiercely grabbed Lin Yiwan's neck, roaring, "Tell me, where did you hide those earrings, you bitch?"
Zi'er, who had been standing nearby, rushed over quickly, grabbed Madam Liu's arms with both hands, and pushed her directly to the ground.
She roared hissingly: "Bitch, you are a bully. You must have stolen the earrings and hid them!"
Lin Yiwan pointed at her head and said, "Brains are a good thing, but it's a pity that you don't have one. You've already touched me all over, and yet you insist that I stole it. Aren't you courting death?"
Mrs. Liu was shaking violently all over, she refused to admit defeat!
When she just entered the room, she actually saw the little maid stuffing something into her sleeve, so she insisted on throwing dirty water on Lin Yiwan.
But how could it be absent?
What exactly is going on?
She didn't move, so where could the ruby earrings be hidden?
Just as she was feeling anxious, she heard Princess Sheng sternly scold the shopkeeper, "Look around the cupboard carefully again. Perhaps you accidentally knocked it off when you were putting it there."
The shopkeeper knew that the matter was of great consequence, so he did not dare to argue and quickly bent down to search carefully.
This search was amazing, I actually found it in the crack.
He said with a complicated expression: "It's a misunderstanding, it's all a misunderstanding. The earrings weren't lost at all, they fell into the gap between the cupboards!"
After hearing these words, Mrs. Liu felt dizzy.
She said in a trembling voice: "Madam, it's my fault. I blamed you without knowing right from wrong. I beg you to be magnanimous and not argue with a blind and crazy woman like me!"
She apologized while slapping herself hard.
The crisp sound almost made the onlookers tremble in their hearts.
Lin Yiwan said nonchalantly, "I didn't ask you to slap me. I just asked you to fulfill your promise and buy all the jewelry on the second floor. I want to take it away!"
Mrs. Liu collapsed to the ground helplessly. Oh my God, how much money does this cost?
How is she going to explain this to the master when she gets back?
Before she could think of a solution, the shopkeeper had already started clacking his abacus.
Hearing the voice that sounded like a death urgency, Mrs. Liu wished she could die right now.
Finally, she waited until the shopkeeper said a number in a calm voice: "All the jewelry added up, a total of 600,000 taels of silver!"
Mrs. Liu's heart finally died. Her eyes rolled back and she fainted from fright.
Lin Yiwan had no sympathy at all. She said calmly, "Zi'er, carry Madam Liu. Let's go to the Liu Mansion to ask for the money!"
"Yes!" Zi'er responded loudly.
At this time, in the Liu Mansion, Liu Yao was lying on the bed, yelling and cursing: "Bitch, I'm already injured like this, and she still wants to go shopping. Doesn't she take me seriously at all?"
The housekeeper next to him advised: "Master, the lady has already made an appointment with several noble ladies, and it is difficult for her to refuse. Calm down, she will be back soon!"
Liu Yao's face turned ashen with anger. It was the first time in his many years as an official that he felt so embarrassed.
He had finally become the Imperial Censor of the dynasty, but because he lost his mind for a moment and went to attack Prince Li, he was beaten half to death!
He obviously did all this for the emperor!
Why did you beat him like this?
He clenched his fists tightly and roared through gritted teeth, "Just wait and see. Sooner or later, the throne beneath your butt will be snatched away by Prince Li. Then you'll see who will be able to protect you!"
The housekeeper was so frightened that he immediately knelt on the ground and kowtowed: "Master, be careful, the walls have ears!"
Before Liu Yao could say anything, he heard hurried footsteps outside. Then the gatekeeper came running in with sweat on his face and said, "Master, something bad has happened!"
Liu Yao picked up the pillow beside him and threw it at him fiercely: "Who are you trying to curse to death?"
The servant turned his head away and said with a sad face, "The lady was brought back by the wife of the Marquis of Zhan Yi's mansion. She said she owed you 600,000 taels of silver and wanted to ask you to pay it back!"
Liu Yao's eyes widened in disbelief. "How much? How much money does she owe?"
The servant replied anxiously, "Six hundred thousand taels of silver!"
Liu Yao's eyes rolled back and he fainted.
In his last moment of consciousness, he had only one thought in his mind, that is, he couldn't keep that bitch anymore!
Divorce!
You must divorce your wife!
When he regained consciousness, he saw Lin Yiwan standing before him, smiling. He said in a hoarse voice, "I don't have the money, but I have a letter of divorce. She is no longer the mistress of our Liu Mansion. The money she owes has nothing to do with our Liu Mansion!"
Lin Yiwan didn't get angry. She asked in confusion, "Where's the divorce letter? Can I take a look first?"
Liu Yao's eyes were dodging. How could he have enough time to write a letter of divorce?
He was so angry when he heard the news that he didn't even write it.
He gritted his teeth and said, "I only divorced her verbally, and haven't prepared the paperwork yet. But she is no longer a member of the Liu family. The trouble she caused outside has nothing to do with me or the entire Liu Mansion!"
Lin Yiwan sighed helplessly, "Since Lord Liu has said so, I can only carry your wife to the Emperor to seek justice. Ask the Emperor what responsibility she should bear for deliberately slandering a royal daughter!"
Liu Yao was so frightened that his whole body was shaking violently. That was a capital crime with the confiscation of property and extermination of the entire family.
If the matter were to be brought before the emperor, not to mention that he just divorced his wife verbally, even if he actually wrote a written document to divorce her, it would bring disaster to the entire Liu family.
He cannot be a sinner of the Liu family!
