"Mengxi." Fu Yanshen suddenly spoke in a low voice, and his handsome face was obviously filled with displeasure and disappointment.

Suddenly, Gu Mengxi realized that her words had been a bit extreme, and she changed to a soft and coquettish tone, "I'm sorry, brother, I shouldn't have called them cheap, but all the jewelry in my room was really stolen."

"All stolen? Are you sure?" Fu Yanshen didn't believe that these servants were so bold. You know, the value of her jewelry was huge. If it was discovered, she would face imprisonment.

Even if they were dishonest and greedy, they wouldn't be stupid enough to steal everything, so...

"It's true, brother. I've looked everywhere except at my sister-in-law's place."

Gu Mengxi's words instantly made Ruan Zheng's eyebrows furrow. "What do you mean? Do you suspect I stole your jewelry?"

Gu Mengxi pouted with an innocent look on her face, "Sister-in-law, you misunderstood. I didn't suspect you of stealing anything. I was just telling my brother the truth."

"Your truth is just throwing dirty water on me. It seems that if I don't let you go to my room to look for it, I can't clear myself of the suspicion that your jewelry is missing, right?" Ruan Zheng stared at Gu Mengxi and asked harshly.

Gu Mengxi laughed sinisterly in her heart, but pretended to be harmless. "Sister-in-law, that's not what I meant. I..."

"Your sister-in-law couldn't possibly steal your jewelry." Fu Yanshen interrupted in a low voice, then he turned his head to look at Gu Mengxi, "Think carefully, did you forget where you put it?"

Fu Yanshen knew Ruan Zheng's character very well. Not to mention stealing the jewelry, she even disdained the jewelry he gave her before.

Now that Gu Mengxi has caused such a scene, it is obvious that she is trying to frame Ruan Zheng.

But that's not really the case. Because she will accompany him to a cocktail party in a few days, Gu Mengxi wants to take out her jewelry box to see which one is more suitable for the dress.

Who would have known what was inside? She was shocked to see that all the jewelry in her full jewelry box was gone, even the earrings were missing. This made her extremely angry.

So he immediately ordered the servants to search all places in Shuijun Bay, except for Fu Yanshen's bedroom, study and Ruan Zheng's room.

It was naturally impossible for Fu Yanshen to steal her things, so Ruan Zheng was the biggest suspect.

However, Gu Mengxi didn't expect Fu Yanshen to be so sure that Ruan Zheng didn't steal it. She suddenly felt unhappy and muttered, "Brother, I have always had a good memory. There is no way I remembered the place wrong."

The implication was that he had to search Ruan Zheng's room before she could believe that she didn't steal.

Fu Yanshen knew what she meant. He raised his hand and rubbed his swollen brow. "In that case, I'll go search your sister-in-law's room."

When Gu Mengxi heard what he said, she was surprised and was about to say: Why does brother have to go in person? Just send a servant.

Ruan Zheng, however, sarcastically replied, "Fu Yanshen, you can search my room, but what if you don't find anything?"

"Wouldn't it be better if nothing was found? It would prove your innocence." The man replied calmly.

He looked at Ruan Zheng with an anxious look, thinking that he was helping her. After all, as long as he showed up, the thing in Gu Mengxi's mouth would not be found in her room.

No matter what, he would never let his wife be labeled a thief, because only Ruan Zheng could afford to lose face, but he couldn't.

As for why she stole Gu Mengxi's jewelry, he was too lazy to speculate.

"It's true that I'm innocent, but if the so-called jewelry she mentioned wasn't found in the room, wouldn't I have been slandered and wrongly accused for nothing?

The police investigate cases based on solid evidence, but when it comes to you two siblings, do you think you can just brush it off with a simple "I'm innocent"?

"Then what do you want?" Fu Yanshen was impatient and looked at her with a cold look in his eyes.

He was wondering whether Ruan Zheng was really stupid or just pretending to be stupid. Couldn't she see that he was protecting her?

Mengxi just said that in the entire Shuijun Bay, apart from his bedroom and study, only her room has not been searched. This is obviously a trap.
