No, Ruan Zheng was unwilling to give up.

Qing Leng stared at Gu Mengxi and approached her step by step. "I'll give you two choices. One, kneel down and apologize to me. Two, I'll send her to jail."

This person, of course, was referring to the person who had just searched Ruan Zheng's room. She knew that she was Gu Mengxi's confidant, so she was sure that she would protect her.

"Ruan Zheng, stop it." Fu Yanshen frowned and scolded her when he saw her overbearing tone.

In her heart, she secretly criticized her for being stupid. What good would it do for her to break up with Gu Mengxi? It would only bring more harshness and embarrassment from his parents.

Besides, isn't it just an apology? As long as she isn't so overbearing, he can ask Mengxi to apologize to her. Doesn't she have to kneel?

"Miss Gu, please save me, I don't want to go to jail. I... I have elderly parents and young children to take care of, I really can't go to jail." When the servant heard Ruan Zheng say that she wanted to go to jail, her cheeks turned pale with fear.

Kneeling in front of Gu Mengxi, she kept sobbing and begging. She knew very well in her heart that no matter whether she had stolen Ruan Zheng's jewelry or not, she could not escape the responsibility because the jewelry was definitely gone.

Whether Ruan Zheng had hidden it beforehand or really disappeared, the fact that she was rummaging through the drawers in the room alone just now made it impossible to clear herself of suspicion.

Unless that set of jewelry is found, but how can such a valuable thing be easily found once it is lost?

So there is only one ending, she was wrongly imprisoned, and now the only one who can save her is Gu Mengxi.

"I don't like waiting and I have never been patient, so Gu Mengxi, I will only give you two minutes to think about it." Ruan Zheng looked victorious, with arrogance in her eyes.

Gu Mengxi pinched her fingertips hard, and her throat felt like she had swallowed a dead fly. She was trying to steal a chicken but ended up losing the rice. This probably describes her now.

I wanted to frame Ruan Zheng for stealing my jewelry but failed, and who would have thought that I would lose face so much.

And this maid must not be sent to jail, otherwise if she reveals all her dirty deeds in the past, everything will be over.

So she gritted her teeth and said, "Sister-in-law, I apologize."

Fu Yanshen frowned, "Mengxi..."

"Brother, keep your word. I was the one who boasted just now. I admit it." After saying that, she knelt down in front of Ruan Zheng, her head lowered almost to the ground, feeling extremely humiliated.

"Just kneeling?" Ruan Zheng looked at Gu Mengxi kneeling in front of her, feeling indescribably happy.

"Ruan Zheng, that's enough." Fu Yanshen saw that Gu Mengxi was still refusing to give in even after she knelt down, and the anger he suppressed in his heart almost got out of control.

Ruan Zheng ignored his handsome face that couldn't hold back, and just looked down at Gu Mengxi who was kneeling in front of her with raised eyebrows.

Gu Mengxi knew what she was waiting for and let her nails dig into the flesh of her palm. "I'm sorry, sister-in-law. I shouldn't have suspected you of stealing my jewelry without any reason. Please, please, for the sake of my brother and father, please be magnanimous and not make a fuss about it."

Gu Mengxi was still a little scheming. While apologizing, she deliberately brought up the Fu couple in order to tell Ruan Zheng that she would never let this matter go. She would definitely let Yu Mengqiu make the decision for her.

"Okay, I forgive you. Go away, I want to rest." Ruan Zheng lowered her eyes to see the scheming in her eyes and spoke generously.

Upon hearing this, Fu Yanshen hurriedly helped Gu Mengxi, who was kneeling on the ground, up. He glared at Ruan Zheng with his eyes like a sharp blade and left the room.

Night, deep black.

After everything was quiet, Gu Mengxi swept everything on the dressing table to the floor like crazy.

Just now, when her brother was here, she couldn't lose her temper, fearing that he would see her twisted and crazy side. But now that he was gone, she could no longer control her anger.

Ruan Zheng! She clenched her hands tightly, the scene of him kneeling down to her still vivid in her mind, tears of humiliation streaming down her cheeks.

Ding-ling, ding-ling, the sudden ringing of the bell broke the silence. Gu Mengxi sniffed and saw that it was Yu Mengqiu. She turned away and complained to Ruan Zheng.

A few minutes later, Yu Mengqiu heard what she said clearly and asked in a cold and surprised voice, "Encounter?"

Gu Mengxi cried until her voice was hoarse. "Mom, she said that the set disappeared after the servant entered the room, so she insisted that it was stolen. She also asked me to kneel down and apologize to her in front of so many people. Mom, Ruan Zheng bullied me."
