Chapter 8 Jade Pendant
Sekkisaki cream is worthy of being a treasure. In just a few days, the hideous red marks on Lin Yiyao's calf have gradually faded and turned into a light pink.

Lin Yiyao followed the eldest lady to the Shou'an Hall to greet the old lady. As soon as the curtain was opened, she saw the old lady sitting on the couch, leaning against a pear wood carved table.

Gu Yunxi pinched the old lady's legs without looking sideways.The second lady was sitting on a large carved chair on one side, talking to the old lady with a smile on her face.

Lin Yiyao felt contemptuous in her heart, it really was something that couldn't be put on the stage, she ran to her grandmother early in the morning to be courteous, and even competed with the maids for jobs, she didn't look like a young lady from an aristocratic family!

She hastened to straighten her posture, saluted politely and said hello to the old lady.

The old lady pulled her to her side, her eyes fell on her calf and she said, "Is the injury healed?"

Lin Yiyao replied obediently, "It's almost better. The granddaughter missed her grandmother and came here with her mother."

The majesty of the old lady became much softer, "It's rare that you have such a heart."

Gu Yunxi looked at Lin Yiyao's golden silk peony and colorful skirt, with a flying bun, revealing a smooth forehead, showing a dignified atmosphere.The whole person seems to be in a good mood.

The eldest lady stood aside, her mouth slightly raised, and she didn't seem to be angry at all because of the old lady's previous accusation.

Obviously a peaceful scene.

Gu Yunxi already understood in her heart that it was just the calm that was about to come!

After Gu Yunxi took care of the old lady to sleep, she returned to Tinglan Garden with the longan, and greeted her anxiously with red dates, as if hesitating to speak.

"Go back to the room and talk about it." Gu Yunxi looked at the maids and mother-in-law coming and going in the yard, and said with red lips.

After the three masters and servants entered the room, Gu Yunxi dismissed the maids in the room, and said seriously, "What happened?"

Hongzao replied: "The servant girl was guarding in the courtyard according to the order of the young lady. Then the second room's mother Cui brought some pastries, and the servant girl went out to deliver them. When she came back, she found that the closet seemed to have been tampered with. After careful inspection, the servant girl found that There is an extra jade pendant inside!"

Gu Yunxi expected that the eldest lady would definitely make a move.Hongzao is careful and steady, so leaving her to look at the yard really paid off.

"Jade pendant?" Gu Yunxi was thoughtful, "Bring it here and let me have a look."

The whole body of the jade pendant is emerald green, the middle body is hollowed out, and a green peony is wrapped in a crescent moon in a vivid way.Crystal clear is very beautiful.

Sapphire carved peony pendant!This is something of the royal family, such a clumsy method does not look like the action of the eldest lady.

Longan whispered: "Miss, what should I do now?"

Gu Yunxi smiled, with coldness in his eyes: "Wait and see."

After thinking for a while, he said: "Longan, you can privately inquire about Amber who is beside the eldest lady, why didn't she accompany you today to serve her?"

Hu Po and Chen Xiang are sisters, they serve together by the eldest lady Lin Yiyao.Normally wherever Lin Yiyao went, the two would accompany her, but today there was only Chen Xiang alone, which made people a little puzzled.

At night, Gu Yunxi changed into her pajamas early and was leaning on the bed to read a book when Longan walked into the room, "Miss, the old lady's mother Qiu is here."

"Please come in, Mother Qiu." Gu Yunxi put down the book in her hand, and looked out of the window. The sky was so dark that there was not even a single star.

Qiu's mother hurriedly said, "Second Miss, the old lady invites you to Shou'an Hall."

Gu Yunxi asked worriedly, "What's wrong with grandma?"

Qiu's mother knew that the second miss really cared about the old lady, so she patiently explained, "Second miss, don't worry, the old lady is fine, it's just that the eldest lady lost something valuable, the old lady, please go over and ask about the situation."

Gu Yunxi breathed a sigh of relief, "Mom, wait a minute, I'll change clothes and go."

Gu Yunxi came to the old lady's yard, and the old lady sat on the main seat with a serious face.

The second wife, third aunt, and fourth aunt were all present, and even Lin Ziyan, who usually recuperates in the house, also came.

Unexpectedly, the eldest lady did not come.

Gu Yunxi saluted everyone, then stood quietly aside.

It took about a cup of tea before the Elder Master and the Elder Madam arrived late.

Gu Yunxi's eyes naturally fell on the eldest lady. The eldest lady had a faint displeasure on her face, and she was wearing the simplest cloud bun, fastened with a simple jade hairpin.

It seemed that he had stopped and came in a hurry.

Elder Master Lin Pingkang frowned and stood in the middle of the main hall, "What happened?"

The second lady was impatient: "Brother, why don't you ask your good daughter, why don't you let people sleep in the middle of the night? You don't care, Ziyan's body can't stand it!"

The dissatisfaction and blame in the tone are obvious.

Lin Ziyan secretly tugged at her mother's sleeve, signaling her to stop talking.

"What are you pulling me for? She is used to making troubles, and now she can't even talk about it?" The second lady continued to point at Sang and scold Huai.

Lin Pingkang turned to look at his prostitute, and said in a deep voice, "Yi Yao, tell me."

Lin Yiyao's eyes were full of tears, her eyes were slightly red, and she whispered, "My daughter came to pay her respects to grandma today, but when she returned, she found that the jade pendant around her waist was gone."

When the Da Furen heard this, her complexion changed dramatically, she dared not say anything: "Is it the sapphire carved peony pendant?"

Lin Yiyao nodded timidly.The lady's face was even more uncertain.

Gu Yunxi can be sure at this time that everything is Lin Yiyao's own initiative, and the eldest lady should not know about it.

She didn't expect her to be so eager to get rid of herself.

The second lady looked at Lin Yiyao who was kneeling on the ground, and reprimanded loudly, "You dare to show off the royal thing, but if you lose it, you will lose your head, and the sin you made yourself will also implicate us!"

When the eldest lady heard what she said about her daughter, she immediately defended, "Yi Yao was just careless, why should the second sibling be so aggressive."

Seeing that the two were about to quarrel endlessly, the old lady stopped her in time and said, "Shut up, you still have to send someone to look around, you are all waiting to lose your head, right?"

After the old lady finished speaking, the second lady gave a cold "hum" and stopped arguing with the eldest lady.

Da Furen's face was solemn, and she ordered in a cold voice: "Mother Liu, you lead people to search all the yards carefully."

The old lady frowned and said: "Search? It's not like it was stolen if it was lost. What's there to search for! Those who make trouble in Shangshufu, do you want to lose face?"

Da Furen explained, "What if some thief picks it up and hides it, if you want to investigate it, do it thoroughly."

The eldest lady knew that Yi Yao attached great importance to that jade pendant and would not wear it easily.But this morning I deliberately took it out for a walk, knowing the daughter Mo Ruomu, the eldest lady already had a guess in her mind.

The old lady didn't stop her after hearing the words, after all, this matter could be big or small, it's better to find it as soon as possible, so as not to cause trouble.
