After entering the book, the cold prince begs for favor
Chapter 28 Dare to Search
Yuan Wanru's face suddenly darkened. "You don't know, that day, cousin Lan Xin asked Fang Fei to go to Lingshuiju to deliver a flower hairpin, and I happened to have lost a pair of pearl earrings in my room."
"No outsider came into my room that day, but I never doubted Fang Fei at all."
"After all, doubting Fangfei is doubting my cousin. How could I do such a tasteless thing?"
"I never thought my cousin would suspect me based on a few evasive words from a maid!"
"Catch the thief and seize the stolen goods, do you have any? What, do you think I'm easy to bully?"
Her eyes were frosty, cold and sharp, and they passed across everyone's faces. For a moment, no one dared to look at her.
Liang Yusong crumpled the handkerchief in her hand. She suddenly spoke in a gentle voice, "Don't be angry, Miss Yuan. Just make it clear. Lan Xin also lost something important and was anxious for a moment."
"We are all good sisters, don't hurt the harmony."
Yuan Wanru snorted coldly: "Peaceful? I can't be peaceful with the person who framed me."
"Miss Liang may not remember. I told you last time that I'm not a magnanimous person and I hold grudges."
"Cousin Cao, you insulted my personality like this. Don't have anything to do with me in the future. I can't stand it."
Old Madam Lu stamped her feet in anger. This Yuan was simply unreasonable.
"What are you talking about? It's just a small matter, and you're holding a grudge against it? Do you still have any dignity?"
Yuan Wanru said coldly: "The sage said, repay evil with virtue. How do you repay virtue? Repay evil with justice, and repay virtue with virtue."
"I've said it before, I'm a reasonable person."
"My cousin treated me like this, how can you blame me for treating her like this."
Showing off one's knowledge again.
Old Madam Lu wished she could slap Yuan Wanru twice and tell her to stop talking about "saints" and "anecdotes" to her all the time.
Cao Lanxin was so angry that she almost exploded!
It was Yuan Wanru who took her hairpin, but now she turns the tables and says Fangfei stole her earrings!
"You're talking nonsense!"
"Who cares about those lousy earrings of yours?"
"Do you dare to have someone search Lingshuiju? If they find it, what will you do?"
Yuan Wanru sneered, "You said you wanted to search, so search it. Who do you think you are? You're just a cousin staying here, and you're here to search the room of the Crown Prince's wife. There's no such thing as that in the world."
However, Cao Lanxin thought that Yuan Wanru had no time to hide the hairpin, so she said that. She became more determined to search.
"Didn't you say you were reasonable?"
"Why don't you dare let me search?"
Yuan Wanru sighed, "I didn't let you search because you're not qualified. What does this have to do with being reasonable?"
"If you have nothing to do, read more books and use your brain. It's okay to embarrass yourself in front of me, but if you go out, you will be embarrassed."
I had heard that Yuan Wanru was good at talking, but I didn't expect her to be so sharp. Every word she said was so sharp that it hurt Cao Lanxin so much that she had internal bleeding.
"you!"
She was so angry that her eyes turned red, and she shouted excitedly: "Grandma, the hairpin must be in her room. Send someone to search, they will definitely find it."
"Yuan Wanru, if you find it, you must kneel down and apologize to me, and return my great-aunt's mutton-fat jade bracelet to her."
"Don't you dare!"
Yuan Wanru raised her eyebrows. She didn't expect that even though she was so angry that her blood was boiling, Cao Lanxin could still find the old lady's weakness and lure her into supporting her. She really had some brains.
She touched her wrist, the mutton-fat jade bracelet, of course the old lady wanted to take it back.
Although Lu Jiangnian asked her to be gentle, they insisted on giving her gifts, so she had no choice but to accept them.
After all, she has always been understanding.
Her mood changed, her expression slightly changed, and she looked at the old lady with obvious panic in her voice: "Old lady, don't listen to her. I am the wife of the prince. If I let someone search my house for no reason, how can I face people in the future?"
"Besides, this is simply a slap in the face of your husband, and even more so of the Lu family. You absolutely cannot agree to this."
Mrs. Lu was still a little hesitant at first, but Yuan Wanru's reaction gave her confidence.
Lan Xin is not stupid. If she wants to set a trap, can Yuanshi avoid it?
Thinking about the situation where the criminal would be caught red-handed and Yuan would be speechless, her blood began to boil.
"No matter how much we argue, we won't get to the truth."
"Don't worry, I'll only let Madam Cao and Qingju go quietly. No one else will know. After we investigate, Lan Xin will be able to give up."
"The Cao family and the Lu family are closely connected. It's not right for them to get into a big fight over such a small matter."
Yuan Wanru lowered her head, bit her lip, and said nothing.
Madam Lu said sternly, "If you don't dare to have someone search, then you must be guilty. Tell me, did you steal it?"
Liu Yan cried out in a low voice, "Madam."
Her face was pale, as if she had encountered some terrible disaster and was frightened out of her wits.
Yuan Wanru suddenly looked up at Cao Lanxin and said, "If you can't find it, not only will you kneel down and kowtow to apologize, but you will also have to compensate me with the entire set of red gold headgear. Do you dare?"
Cao Lanxin did not lose her mind. At this moment, she did not dare to gamble.
After all, the whole set of red gold head ornaments consists of nine pieces, and the most valuable one is the red gold hairpin. In addition, there are a pair of hairpins, a pair of earrings, a pair of bracelets, and a peach heart and a distracting heart.
Her father had spent nearly ten thousand taels of silver to buy it. If...
She hesitated and hesitated. Yuan Wanru breathed a sigh of relief and said with a smile, "Since my cousin doesn't dare, let's just leave it at that."
Mrs. Lu watched as her chance to retrieve the mutton-fat jade bracelet flew away right before her eyes. She couldn't help but feel anxious: "Lan Xin, what do you mean?"
Seeing Yuan Wanru's relieved look, Cao Lanxin finally hardened her heart and said, "I dare."
Yuan Wanru put her hand over her mouth and suddenly leaned towards Liu Yan. Liu Yan reacted very quickly and immediately supported her: "Madam, are you okay?"
She said weakly, "It's okay."
She looked at Cao Lanxin steadily: "Words are not enough. What if you cheat and refuse to compensate me for the headgear? I will be at a loss."
"No, no, this room cannot be searched. I don't trust your character."
"Cousin, let's just forget about it and save each other's face."
The more she evades, the more it proves that she is guilty.
Madam Lu hurriedly sent someone to bring paper and pen: "It's not difficult. Let's write this down as evidence. None of you can deny it."
Why didn't she think of this? If Yuan refused to admit it at that time, she might not be able to get the jade bracelet back.
After all, Yuanshi can talk a lot of nonsense. If she gets fooled by her, she will get nothing.
It was written on paper, in black and white, she couldn't deny it.
Seeing her holding the pen and refusing to write a single word for a long time, Cao Lanxin felt relieved.
It must be just as she thought, Yuan Wanru didn't hide the hairpin at all.
After all, for Yuan Wanru, it was a gift given to her by others, and there was no need for her to hide it secretly.
Cao Lanxin wrote quickly and soon wrote the receipt.
"It's your turn."
Yuan Wanru was silent for a moment, then turned to look at Liang Yusong: "Miss Liang, are you willing to sign as a witness? Otherwise, I won't feel at ease."
