Chapter 9 Search
The second wife sneered: "Sister-in-law won't even search our second bedroom's house together?"

Da Furen's eyes were like candles, and she said firmly, "Of course, since we want to search, we must treat them equally. Could it be that the second brother and sister are guilty of guilt?"

The second lady was furious, and she pointed her trembling fingers at the eldest lady, "Sister-in-law, you have to rely on evidence!"

The eldest lady smiled slightly, "I'm just dealing with it impartially. If the second brother and sister don't allow the search, if they don't find it, it's not just arousing suspicion."

Just as the second lady was about to reply, Lin Ziyan reminded softly, "Mother."

Seeing that everyone's eyes were on her, the second lady suddenly realized that she was just out of anger, so she seemed guilty.

So he said instead, "Since sister-in-law wants to search, it is natural that all the housekeepers search together. After all, this is the only way to be fair!"

Although the second lady didn't know what kind of medicine was sold in the gourd of the eldest lady, she would never let her take advantage of it.

People from the first and second rooms searched together, there were so many people, the eldest lady naturally didn't dare to take advantage of the chaos.

The lady's purpose is not her, she said happily, "Naturally."

His eyes passed through the crowd and fell on Gu Yunxi, thinking that this wild girl is still in the mood to watch a show, and she doesn't know how to laugh when the evidence of the crime will be presented to her later!

The old lady said: "Since you want to search, you should act faster. Ziyan is weak, so go to my room to rest first."

The eldest lady nodded, and Madam Liu took her away immediately knowingly.

The first thing I went to was the Tinglan Courtyard where Gu Yunxi was.
The second lady also hurriedly ordered the women around her to follow.

Qiu's mother, who was beside the old lady, followed after seeing this.

Gu Yunxi's eyes were deep, and her slender eyelashes blocked the sharp look in her eyes.very good!The result of such a search is the most fair and unquestionable.

Gu Yunxi ignored the eyes of the eldest lady and Lin Yiyao.Seeing the old lady sitting with a tired face, she raised her foot and walked over.

Touching the old lady's hand, she said, "Grandmother is still a bit cold at night, so why don't you put on a cloak?"

The old lady also felt a little cold, and nodded upon hearing this.

At this time, Lin Shangshu noticed his second daughter, thought for a moment and asked, "Are you Xi'er?"

The old lady shook Gu Yunxi's hand quietly, as if to comfort Gu Yunxi.

Gu Yunxi stepped forward and saluted, "Father."

The second wife found it funny that the father didn't know his daughter.

"Brother is really negligent. Xi'er stayed with the old lady in the temple for almost seven years. There is no credit but hard work. Don't hurt the heart of being a son and daughter."

The second wife and the eldest wife have not been at loggerheads for many years, as long as it can cause trouble for the eldest wife, she is willing to do it.

Hearing this, Lin Pingkang felt that what he did was really wrong, looked at his slim and well-behaved daughter and said, "I have a pair of white jade bracelets in my father's storeroom, and I will send them to your courtyard later. See if you like them."

Gu Yunxi was overwhelmed by the flattery, her eyes seemed to shine brightly, and she said with a smile, "Thank you, father."

Lin Pingkang looked at the smiling face of his second daughter, the corners of his mouth slightly curled up, and his irritability also dissipated a lot.

Standing beside Lin Yiyao, Lin Yansheng murmured softly: "Second Sister is really good at pleasing my father, so I will give you such a precious bracelet as soon as you say it."

Lin Yiyao squeezed the handkerchief in her hand fiercely. She asked her father for that white jade bracelet for a long time, but her father didn't agree, and now she gave it to Lin Xi in a blink of an eye.

That white jade bracelet belonged to the court of the previous dynasty, and it is hard to find a thousand gold.She is worthy of Lin Xi's mere fate!

After thinking about it, Lin Xi's death was coming soon, and he couldn't be proud for a while, and his face was full of smiles.

The eldest lady watched Lin Yiyao's complexion change from side to side, frowning slightly.

First, he didn't discuss it with himself, so he rashly designed it with royal things.Now because of a mere bracelet, I can't even control my expression.

So short-sighted and impatient, she didn't remember what she was taught on weekdays, and she wasted so much hard work in vain!

Lin Xi, on the other hand, behaved decently and had a good demeanor. He just stood there and attracted everyone's attention.For a while, people couldn't tell who was the concubine's daughter and who was the concubine's daughter!

Such a top-notch concubine, relying on the old lady's favor, doesn't take her as the aunt in the slightest.

It's time to teach her a lesson and let her understand who is the head mistress of the Shangshu Mansion!
About an hour passed before the mothers came back with the searchers.

Qiu's mother went straight to the old lady and shook her head slightly.Everyone's faces became extremely ugly.

The eldest lady was very shocked, "Didn't find it?"

Mother Liu didn't dare to look up and said, "I searched all the yards, but I really didn't find it."

Lin Yiyao rushed forward in disbelief, and said in a harsh voice, "Have you searched carefully? How could you not find it?"

She clearly asked someone to put the jade pendant in Gu Yunxi's closet, how could she not find it?

"I have searched carefully in and out of every yard." Mama Liu hesitated, paused, and then said, "I have searched all the paths in the garden, but I can't find them."

Mother Liu's voice fell, and the entire Shou'an Hall was silent.

The second lady looked panicked, looked at the old lady and said, "Mother, what should I do?"

Shangshu Lin Pingkang's face was so dark that ink dripped out. At that time, Mr. Xu, the servant of the Ministry of rites, was in the middle of his family. He accidentally smashed the jade cup with dragon patterns bestowed by the former emperor, and the nine clans were directly wiped out.

It is a crime of disrespect to lose royal things.

Even though the little emperor was only six years old, he was even more ruthless than the previous emperor.

"Impossible, impossible without it, Tinglanyuan, it's in Tinglanyuan."

Lin Yiyao panicked and just wanted to get the jade pendant back quickly. She didn't want to die yet, so she grabbed the eldest lady with protruding hands, "Mother, you believe me, it must be in Tinglanyuan, I want to search for it myself!"

"Big sister is doubting me?" Gu Yunxi seemed to be incredulous that Lin Yiyao would say such a thing, and said in a low voice, "The thing bestowed by the royal family is of great importance, how dare I keep it private?"

The sadness on the face made the hearts of those who watched soften.

"Whether it's you, I'll find out after I search!" Lin Yiyao decided to take someone to Tinglanyuan no matter what.

Gu Yunxi stood alone and cast down her eyes in silence.

The old lady couldn't bear it any longer: "Stop!"

Seeing that the old lady stopped, the eldest lady said: "Let's search again, it will be good if we find it."

The lady's remarks seemed to be entirely for the Lin family's sake, and she did not mean to target Gu Yunxi at all.After all, the most urgent task is to find the lost jade pendant.

The old lady said firmly, "No need, what kind of person Xi'er is, my old lady knows best."

Seeing that the old lady was angry, everyone dared not say any more.Gu Yunxi walked forward slowly, her eyes were red and she pulled Lin Yiyao's sleeves and asked, "Did sister misunderstand me?"

Lin Yiyao's mind was in confusion at this time, seeing her pitiful, hypocritical look, and her angry face was ferocious, she couldn't hold back and waved her hand.

"Snapped"

The loud applause was accompanied by crisp and cracking sounds, and everyone froze in place.

The second lady who reacted first trembled, "Is the broken sapphire carved peony pendant?"
