Chapter 38 Who is it?
Princess Jiayun knew that Jiang Xian was not a casual person, if she said there was a way, then there must be a way.

"Xuan'er, come and listen to me."

Jiang Xian smiled slightly.

She summoned Cui Nong and whispered a few words to her.Cui Nong nodded cooperatively, saluted Princess Jiayun and the others, and left quickly.

A curious person in the crowd asked: "Young Madam, what did you ask the servant girl to do?"

Jiang Xian said softly: "Don't worry, everyone will know later."

After finishing speaking, she walked up to Qin Suixing and Duan Wenchun, and calmly analyzed: "Miss Duan was with me in the garden all the time, so she hardly had time to go to mother's yard. Besides, there are maids guarding the gate of mother's yard. I will never let some dubious people into the house. To get close to the dressing table, you can only climb over the wall from the backyard."

Mrs. Li's tone was inexplicable, and she teased: "Young Madam, you said just now that you and Duan Wenchun were speculating, could this one-sided statement be to help her get away with it?"

"That's right, what Mrs. Li said is also what I wanted to say just now." Jiang Xian slightly curved her mouth and asked, "Of course I won't cover it up, but are the other people present suspected of lying? Mrs. Li, may I ask what happened?" where were you when

Mrs. Li raised her chin without any panic: "I heard that the hibiscus blooms beautifully in Duke Yuguo's mansion, so I admired the flowers in the front yard. My servant girl can testify to this."

Jiang Xian shook her head: "Mrs. Li, after all, they are your maids, your servants... Are these one-sided words trying to help someone get away with it?"

Mrs. Li's eyes widened and she was furious, "Young Madam, what do you mean by that? Do you want to pour dirty water on me to cover up this question?"

"Mrs. Li calm down, this junior doesn't mean that."

Princess Jiayun watched from the sidelines and heard Jiang Xian's overtones.

If Jiang Xian perjured Duan Wenchun, others could also perjure her. It doesn't mean she wasn't there because she wasn't there.

Princess Jiayun signaled Mrs. Li to be calm, and asked Jiang Xian, "Xuan'er, according to what you said, the thief who stole the jade bracelet is still here?"

Jiang Xian said: "Mom, in fact, if you want to find out this person, you just need to find out her purpose."

"What's the purpose of stealing things? It's all about money!"

Jiang Xian shook her head again, "Mother, think about it carefully, if that person is really rich, your agate head, face, and Pisces gold hairpins are all there, why did he only steal a jade bracelet from you?"

Princess Jiayun was thoughtful, "Yeah...why did you just steal a bracelet?"

Someone in the crowd interjected, "It's not easy. If there are too many things, people are afraid they won't be able to carry them, so they choose one that is easy to hide!"

"This is one of the reasons." Jiang Xian stretched out her index finger and shook it, "More importantly, that person knows that stealing too much is not good for blaming others. A light-colored bracelet is more difficult to detect than a large pile of gold and silver jewelry falling out..."

Princess Jiayun frowned, "Xuan'er, do you think someone deliberately framed Duan Wenchun?"

The more Mrs. Li heard it, the more funny she felt.

She couldn't help sneering, "Young Madam, what are you talking about, why do you frame an unknown concubine for no reason?"

Jiang Xian glanced at Duan Wenchun who was still eye-catching in the crowd, sighed, and asked seriously: "Mrs. Li, do you really think Miss Duan is unknown? Before I came out of the cabinet, I heard that Miss Duan was unparalleled in beauty. These days , Uncle’s affection for Miss Duan has caused a lot of trouble in the city. As for the purpose of the Yuguo Mansion’s summer banquet, I think you all know well."

If Duan Wenchun actually stole today, not only would he miss Qin Suixing, but he would definitely be stained in the capital.

Qin Suixing is smart, and he already understood what Jiang Xian said.

"I know, some people don't want Wenchun to please my mother, and purposely ruin her reputation!"

Duan Wenchun must also be in a hurry, she gritted her silver teeth, tears flashed in her eyes, and raised her voice, "Who on earth has such vicious thoughts? Is it those women and maids who were messing with me just now?"

Several women and maids jumped out and shouted wronged, they didn't know about it.

Noisy, howling until people's brain hurts.

Jiang Xian quickly told them to stop.

She looked at Qin Suixing again, and said calmly: "I am puzzled by one thing. From the incident to the arrest of Miss Duan, there was not enough time for a cup of tea. I just happened to meet. And your Meibai Courtyard is the farthest from the main courtyard, so I rushed over after getting the news, at least half a stick of incense time."

Qin Suixing said: "I was copying my sister-in-law's painting in the yard at the time, and I vaguely heard a maid outside the door talking about Wenchun stealing things. I was worried, so I rushed over immediately..."

"Who is the maid? Have you seen it?"

"No. When I came out, I didn't see anyone outside the yard."

Jiang Xian nodded, "Then it seems that my guess is correct. The maid deliberately sent a message for you to hear, which means that she knew that this incident would happen here and asked you to come here."

Qin Suixing said uncertainly, "Let me come and watch the show?"

Jiang Xian said: "The most fundamental purpose is to let you see Duan Wenchun greedy for money and stealing, and you will feel disgusted with her."

To put it bluntly, the source of this farce is Qin Suixing!
Someone who wants to marry into Yuguo's mansion, or a famous young talent in the capital, must get rid of a powerful opponent.It is well known that Qin Suixing gave Duan Wenchun a peacock, and Duan Wenchun became the target of public criticism.Even though Princess Jiayun was dissatisfied with her, the others didn't dare to guard against her, so they took the risk and did the thing of framing her.

The antecedents have been smoothed out, and the last step is short.

Princess Jiayun couldn't help being curious, "Xuan'er, who is behind all this?"

"Mother, do you know what I asked Cui Nong to do just now?"

Princess Jiayun said: "I would like to hear the details."

Jiang Xian smiled and said, "Mom, do you remember that the flower garden in your yard was newly renovated? The soil is all three-color mud brought from Mulan Mountain in the suburbs. This mud is rare, but it is very suitable for the growth of flowers and plants. Another feature is that it is easy to stick to the soles of shoes. In the mansion, only your yard has three-color mud." She paused, her eyes slowly gliding over everyone's faces, "I just told Cui Nong to let People block all the exits of Yuguo Mansion, and no one can leave secretly."

Duan Wenchun blurted out: "I know, whoever has three-color mud sticking to his feet is the one who stole the jade bracelet!"

Although Duan Jinqiu and Duan's mother hated Duan Wenchun, it was related to the face of the Minister's House, so they hurriedly took the maid to look at the soles of other people's shoes.In the end, I searched for a few laps and found that the soles of everyone's shoes were clean and there was no mud on them.

Qin Suixing frowned: "Sister-in-law, there is no soil on the bottom of their feet, did they make a mistake? Or did the thief leave here early?"

slipped away so soon?

Jiang Xian thought it was impossible.

That person definitely wants to see the follow-up development, unless the mastermind tells her, she will never leave.

As for the three-color mud on the soles of the feet...

Jiang Xian ignored one thing.

The other party came prepared, so he must observe carefully.The mud stuck to the soles of the feet stood out among a group of elegantly dressed women, they must have found a place to clean it up quietly.

She suspected it was Mrs. Li before, but she rejected it after deliberation.

Mrs. Li has no daughter, only two sons under the age of sixteen, she has no motive to slander Duan Wenchun.Jiang Xian looked around the crowd... who the hell is it?

"Young lady!"

Just when Jiang Xian was at an impasse, Cui Nong and Qin Yanfeng arrived together.

She rushed to Jiang Xian's side in a hurry, raised a roll of rice paper in her hand, and said loudly: "Young Madam! I know who the thief is!"
