Chapter 25 Slander
Wei Ran was brought back to the front yard where the banquet was held by the maid. At this time, the guests had also arrived. The banquet, which was originally bustling with people, was as quiet as a chicken. Everyone looked at the belated host with strange eyes. .

Wei Cong was sitting in the chair, glaring at her sharply, as if he wanted to poke a hole in her body.Tian was sitting on one side, and Wei Tong was sitting on the other side of the empty seat. That empty seat was obviously reserved for Wei Ran, but the atmosphere at this moment was completely wrong. It didn't look like he was waiting for her to sit down, but more like a court interrogation. atmosphere, because a pitiful "victim" was standing in the middle of the seats staring at her with a look of resentment.

Wei Ran took a closer look and saw that it was not the noble lady Jin Xiayao.

"Of course, Miss Jin Er's spodumene bracelet is missing. Have you seen it?" Wei Cong asked in a deep voice as soon as he saw her. His scrutinizing eyes seemed to have determined that she had stolen it.

Wei Ran frowned and glanced at Jin Xiayao. Judging from her confident self-satisfaction, it seemed that she was determined to accuse her of stealing today.But she has never done it at all. How can Jin Xiayao forcefully turn the white ones into black ones?
"What kind of bracelet, I've never seen it before." Wei Ran said without thinking, but his heart skipped a beat when he met Jin Xiayao's proud eyes.No, Jin Xiayao is so confident that she must be fully prepared.

"But my bracelet was obviously still there just now, but it disappeared after I said a few words to you. Who else could have taken it if it wasn't you?"

"Why should I take your bracelet?"

"My bracelet is made of rare spodumene. It took eighteen top craftsmen three hundred years of polishing to produce such a bracelet. It is so glorious and priceless. You have been a slave in the academy since you were a child, and you have never seen such a beautiful bracelet." It’s not surprising that you would be obsessed with something and want to take it for yourself.”

"Just based on your guess, you said I stole it? Do you have any evidence?"

"Not yet, but wouldn't you know if you search?" Jin Xiayao crossed his arms and looked at her condescendingly.

Suddenly, she remembered that when Shu Yining approached her just now, she seemed to have touched her intentionally or unintentionally. She didn't care at the time, but now she thought about it.
She glanced back coldly and saw that Shu Yining had already sat down at the table. When she looked over, she also looked over. Their eyes met, and the other's eyes were open and frank, which made her look a bit young. The human heart.

"You want to search me?" Wei Ran looked away, looked at Jin Xiayao and sneered.

"If you are innocent, why are you afraid of being searched?"

"What if I don't give it?"

"Then don't blame me for being rude." Jin Xiayao snorted coldly.

"Miss Jin Er is so modest. When have you ever been polite at a banquet at my house?" Wei Ran mocked coldly, making Shu Yining in the seat couldn't help laughing and spitting tea.

Seeing that Jin Xiayao's face turned green, Shu Yining hurriedly put down the tea cup and apologized: "I'm sorry, I choked. Keep going, keep going."

Taking advantage of the moment when everyone's eyes were attracted to Shu Yining, Wei Ran's hand under his sleeve quickly rotated, and a blank yellowing spell was painted with clear runes, and then disappeared in an instant.After doing all this, she turned to Wei Cong and shouted innocently: "Dad, it's not me, I didn't do it."

"Since you haven't done it before, it doesn't hurt to search yourself." Wei Cong pondered for a moment and said.

Wei Ran's face darkened. She had known that Wei Cong didn't love her, but she didn't expect that even Tian knew how to be consistent in front of outsiders, but he wanted to push her to death.Jin Xiayao sneered: "Sect Master Wei has already spoken, you..."

"That said, I also remembered it." Wei Ran interrupted her seriously.

"I also lost the agate bracelet I was wearing today. It was the only memory my mother left for me when I was a baby. It was there just now, but why did it disappear when I was talking to Miss Jin Er!" Wei Ran Walking around pretending to be anxious, "Could it be that I accidentally threw it on Miss Jin Er? What should I do? Although the bracelet is not expensive, it is of great significance to me. Why is it missing? How else? , I’ll search you, and you’ll search me too?”

"You! How presumptuous!" Jin Xiayao blushed with anger, "How could you just search me for my rich body? Besides, what motive do I have to steal a piece of trash from you!"

"Yes!" Wei Ran retorted, "I am also the daughter of the Wei family, how could you just search for me at will? As for why you stole mine, it's because you don't like me and you deliberately want to make it difficult for me. Just now. Our quarrel was watched by so many people, who doesn’t know that Miss Jin is prejudiced against me?”

Shui Shixun was also at the seat and almost couldn't help laughing like Shu Yining. Fortunately, the boy next to him held him down in time.

"How dare you, a mere pariah, compete with me?! I am a noble daughter, I don't need such dirty tricks to deal with you!"

"Second Miss Jin!" Wei Tong's face changed slightly, and she couldn't help but speak out in defense, "Although the Wei family is not as powerful as the Jin family, it is still one of the five major families. My sister is the heir of my Wei family, although her status is not as noble as yours. , but not extraordinary, please be careful what you say!"

Wei Ran's words may not have much weight, but Wei Tong's words almost represent the Wei family. If Jin Xiayao hadn't gone too far, she would not have wanted to have a head-on conflict with the Jin family. Now that she is defending, Wei Ran only feels that this sister is genuine. He is domineering and has the air of a family leader, so he is the perfect choice for heir. She even feels that she is a bit ungrateful in trying to steal someone else's position.

The sound of a needle dropping could be heard instantly in the huge courtyard, and an awkward atmosphere spread in the air.

Jin Xiayao did not expect that Wei Tong would lose face to her in public. No matter how arrogant she was, she would not dare to target Wei Tong casually. After all, Wei Tong was a truly powerful cultivator with many followers and admirers. Offending her would mean offending many people.

But she had always been arrogant, and naturally she didn't want to be embarrassed in front of everyone. She didn't know how to deal with it. The atmosphere was tense for a moment, and Tian quickly came out to smooth things over.

"Oh, what kind of angry words do the girls say! Tong'er, you are really serious too. Miss Jin Er just said it casually, not intentionally. Why are you so serious? However, since it wasn't you, why don't you do it? Miss Jin searched her body and found out that she was innocent, which also reassured Miss Jin. It's not a big deal, so there's no need for everyone to ruin their friendship over such a trivial matter, right?" Mrs. Tian laughed awkwardly, not knowing what Wei Ran would do. She won't sell her face, and to be honest, she doesn't know what to do.

"I told you, you can search, as long as Miss Jin also searches for me." Wei Ran raised a sincere and polite fake smile, and the next sentence made Jin Xiayao almost breathless.

"After all, I also believe that Miss Jin Er did not mean it, but just said what she said randomly. How could Miss Jin Er think that I, the heir of the Wei family, am just a pariah?" Wei Ranpi said with a smile, and stopped. Jin Xiayao's retreat.
