The return of the rich and powerful family

Chapter 167 Shen Xia's Enthusiasm (2)
Qiao Qiao shook his head and said in a low voice, "No."

"How could it not be? Let me look inside your clothes." Shen Meilan stepped forward and took out Qiao Qiao's clothes.Her behavior was out of place, but she moved very quickly, before Shen Cheng had time to stop, she took out a small jade pendant from Qiao Qiao's servant's apron.

She held it up triumphantly, and said, "It turned out that it was really you who took away my things. With someone like you, how can we be the masters in peace? Grandma, look at her, she is really too courageous." When I grow up, I even dare to steal what you gave me..."

The Shen family has a big business, and Mrs. Shen is also worried that the hands and feet of the family are not clean. Seeing that the things in Qiao Qiao's clothes were found, she also said angrily: "It's reversed, there is no law! Seeing that a clean girl like you actually did such a thing, do you really think I am old and blind?"

Shen Meilan took advantage of the fire and said: "Such a person steals a jade pendant today, and may steal something else tomorrow. She hangs around Shen Xia and Shen Luo every day, and she doesn't know what will happen in the future."

These words hit old Mrs. Shen's mind. Naturally, a good grandson can't be spoiled by the servants. She said to Xia Qiu: "Why did such a person come out of the family? I think, give me some compensation and drive him out. , the Shen family will never use it in the future."

Seeing that the old lady had spoken, Xia Qiu said to Qiao Qiao: "Why did you take Meilan's things? If you make it clear, we won't wrong you."

Shen Meilan said: "Auntie, what are you talking about? The stolen goods are taken together. Theft is such a serious matter. If this is said, people will think that after our grandma is not in charge of the family, the Shen family will have no way to manage the family."

In this family, the old lady used to be in charge of the house, but after Shen Cheng's position rose, it was Xia Qiu who took care of it.

Shen Meilan's words derogated Xia Qiu in the open, but praised the old lady in secret. Xia Qiu held an unknown anger in her heart, but she didn't want to explode in front of the old lady and everyone, and she became more impatient with Shen Meilan.

Xia Qiuhan is well-bred, and it is inconvenient to fight against the younger generation. Shen Meilan thought she had won the victory, and said: "Grandma has already said, kick her out, and someone else will kick this girl out?"

Mrs. Shen waved her hand and said, "Get out, petty thieves, it's useless to keep her. Housekeeper Zhao, drive her out."

"Wait!" Butler Zhao was arranging people and just when they were about to meet Qiao Qiao, a slightly cold voice interrupted their movements.

"Xia'er? Why did you come down? Your injury hasn't healed yet, why don't you go back to rest quickly." Seeing her precious grandson, Mrs. Shen naturally had a smile on her face, and was worried about his health.

Qiao Qiao only healed most of Shen Xia's injuries, but this didn't affect his actions anymore. He stepped downstairs and said, "Who wants to drive her away?"

Shen Meilan pointed at Qiao Qiao and said: "She stole my things, of course the Shen family can't tolerate her. Shen Xia, I think you should also check your room, don't let the thief have an opportunity to take advantage of her. Your things. Your things are a hundred times more valuable than ours."

"You said she took your things, but what evidence do you have?" Shen Xia asked instead of answering her words.

"I..." Shen Meilan raised her neck and said, "Evidence, this is the evidence! Hmph, I'm so impatient for daring to steal something my grandma gave me!"

Shen Xia reached out to grab something from Shen Meilan's hand, but with the other hand, she quickly put something into Shen Meilan's pocket. His movements were very fast, and his back was facing the others, so only Qiao Qiao was alone. People can clearly see the movement of his exchange.

He raised the jade pendant in his hand high, and said loudly: "Look everyone, this jade pendant is mine. Grandma gave jade pendants to every child of her grandchildren. The material and style of the jade pendants are exactly the same. The only difference is the lettering on it. Mine is x, Meilan's is m, Meilan, are you sure you read it clearly?"

Everyone looked carefully, and found that the jade pendant in Shen Xia's hand was indeed x, which represented the initial letter of the word "Xia", it wasn't an m at all.

Shen Meilan was shocked, obviously she put the jade pendant in Qiao Qiao's apron with her own hands, and under Wu Jingya's instigation, she felt that Qiao Qiao was dishonoring her in public, and she had to drive Qiao Qiao to leave.

She knew very well that the elders of the Shen family respected Mrs. Shen, and as long as Mrs. Shen spoke up, even if the means were a little inferior, Qiao Qiao could be driven away.When she put it away, that jade pendant still belonged to M, how could it be...

"Why is your jade pendant in her hands? She is a servant, how can she get the master's things? Shen Xia, I think, maybe she stole it, and you still speak for her. Be careful of the farmer and the snake." A story." Shen Meilan said loudly with quick wit.

Everyone also thought it made sense, such an unattractive little girl was never seen serving beside Shen Xia, so how could she have something about Shen Xia?

Shen Cheng and Xia Qiu also took another look at Qiao Qiao.The son gradually grew up and understood human affairs. If something happened to the little girl in the family, it would be a big scandal.

Shen Meilan saw that what she suddenly came up with happened to hit everyone's heart, she became more and more proud, and said: "Huh, this little girl must be uneasy and has good intentions, and she wants sparrows to fly to high branches. I see, you don't want to be delusional." .Shen Xia is a dragon and a phoenix among people, and you, it’s just—the babies born of mice can make holes.”

Shen Xia stopped her sharply, and said: "My jade pendant is worn all year round, and the clasp on it is a little loose. Of course, we have to take good care of the things my grandma gave me. Unfortunately, I have been ill for the past two days, and she just came to give it to me. Soup to send medicine, so I asked her to bring it out and help me make a new hanging buckle. Such a thing will exhaust your imagination, and this family dare not use any more servants!"

The jade pendant he held was indeed worn around his neck all year round, and the clasp was indeed as he said, showing signs of loosening.

These words were reasonable and righteous, and everyone felt that they were more reasonable than Shen Meilan's words.

Shen Xia said to the old lady Shen: "Grandma, the family has been calm for so many years, and nothing happened. It's because you and your mother are well-disciplined and run the family well. I don't know what caused the trouble. This is unbearable."

Old Mrs. Shen glanced at Shen Meilan, and the expression on her face collapsed, "Xia'er is right, he asked a little girl to help with the jade pendant, so he didn't make any fuss. Meilan, on the other hand, didn't care if she dropped something by herself." Make a clear distinction, and go wrong to others. In my opinion, you should look for your own things first."

"I..." Shen Meilan continued to argue.
