Chapter 257 Stealing the Gold Bracelet
But she didn't care about this. She had already experienced such scenes countless times in her previous life. Now it was just superficial, so how could she care? When Yun Luan lowered her eyes and was silent alone, Liu Yanran walked to the next door with a palace maid. She found a woman in a goose-yellow dress and whispered in a low voice. The goose-yellow woman was Su Xiaoxue, the daughter of the minister of the Ministry of Industry. Her father's immediate boss was Liu Yanran's father. So Liu Yanran ordered her to do things, and she didn't do anything at all. Dare to disobey. Because of Concubine Shu, the Liu family has become very prominent in Kyoto City in recent years. The Liu family is a century-old family, and the Su family simply cannot afford to offend. Su Xiaoxue had no choice. She hesitated for a moment, then slowly nodded in agreement. Liu Yanran curled her lips and smiled, glanced at Yun Luan with cool eyes, and then sat down next to Concubine Shu again. After a while, Su Xiaoxue calmly sat down at Yun Luan's table. Yun Luan only lowered his head. Holding the teacup and meditating, she didn't notice that there was a new person next to her. Not long after, someone suddenly touched her arm. Yun Luan raised her eyebrows, and she raised her head. Su Xiaoxue looked a little apologetic in her eyes, and looked at her. Yun Luan smiled: "Excuse me, County Lord, I accidentally touched your arm, please don't be angry."
Yun Luan touched her elbow and shook her head indifferently: "It's okay..." Su Xiaoxue remained silent and said nothing to Yun Luan. Not long after, Su Xiaoxue suddenly started to look around for things. "Hey, mine. Where is the bracelet? Why is it missing?"
The female guests at the same table all raised their eyes and glanced at Su Xiaoxue. Someone recognized her identity and asked with concern. "Miss Su, have you lost your bracelet? What style is it? You tell me, and we will all give it to you." You look for it."
Su Xiaoxue replied with red eyes and anxiety in her eyes. "The bracelet I lost is a gold bracelet engraved with peony patterns. This bracelet was a dowry left to me by my grandmother. It is priceless."
Liu Yanran came over at this time and comforted Su Xiaoxue with some concern. "Don't be afraid, Miss Su. Think carefully, have you ever had physical contact with anyone?"
Su Xiaoxue bit her lip, there was some hesitation in her eyes, and she glanced at Yun Luan timidly. Now everyone's eyes followed her gaze and fell on Yun Luan. Yun Luan frowned, and she sneered. "What? You don't think I stole her gold bracelet, do you?" I don't know who it was, and muttered secretly: "I just saw that the Lord Taiping's arm did touch Miss Su."
"I saw it too."
Su Xiaoxue lowered her head and whispered: "I didn't come to this table just now, and the bracelet was still on my wrist. Who knows, the county owner just touched my arm, and my bracelet disappeared... "Liu Yanran's gaze turned to Yun Luan. She smiled gently and said: "In that case, Miss Su's bracelet may be related to the county master. County master, if you really take it Just hand over Miss Su's bracelet. We won't embarrass you... After all, the General's Mansion is in a difficult time now, and we all understand."
As soon as she said this, she was immediately echoed by the people around her. "Yes, the General's Mansion must have been severely damaged by this disaster, and there is probably a lot of money to spend."
"However, no matter how short of money you are, you can't blatantly steal other people's things at a palace banquet."
"If the county owner doesn't hand it over, we can only wait for the queen to come and let her administer justice. Miss Su's bracelet was left to her by her grandmother as a dowry."
"So many people have seen it. It would be really shameless if we continue to deny it."
Yun Luan curled her lips and smiled coldly. "So everyone, you are adamant that I stole Miss Su's gold bracelet, right?"
Everyone was excited: "It's not that we insist on it, but we have all seen it."
"County Lord, it's really immoral for you to do this. General Zhenguo sacrificed his life for the country, and the glory he fought for you with all his life is not something you can squander like this."
"The general's body is still cold. If you do such a dirty thing, aren't you afraid that the general will die in peace?"
Yun Luan clenched her fists and looked coldly at the ladies who mentioned her father's. She remembered this account. "Based on one-sided words, you insist that I stole Miss Su's money." Gold bracelet. It's really ridiculous..." Liu Yanran raised her eyebrows and suggested softly: "Since the county master doesn't admit it, why not call a nanny over and ask her to search the county master's body? If the search fails, If he comes out, we will apologize to the county boss. If he is found out, I am afraid the county boss will have to apologize to Miss Su."
Yun Luan's cold gaze met Liu Yanran's eyes. Is she Liu Yanran, the daughter of the Minister of Industry? Is she the infatuated girl who wants to live and die and is clamoring to marry Xiao Tingyan? This is jointly with Miss Su, Did he plan a scene to show her off and deliberately embarrass her? Since she had already made a move, wouldn't she be sorry for her love rival if she didn't take the move? Yun Luan smashed the tea cup she was holding in her hand. On the table, she stood up suddenly. The sound of the smash was loud and harsh, and the female guests next to her turned pale in shock. Su Xiaoxue trembled in fright, and took a few steps back unconsciously. Liu Yanran stood there. She didn't move, her eyes were silent, and she just stared at Yun Luan: "What is the county leader doing? Is he angry because we caught him?"
Yun Luan smoothed his wide sleeves, and a faint smile appeared on his lips. "It's not that I was angry, but I also lost something, and I was anxious, so I accidentally smashed the tea cup in my hand."
As soon as she said this, the faces of the people around her changed, and they all looked at Yun Luan in disbelief. Liu Yanran frowned: "You also lost something? Could it be that the county master wanted to get away with it and deliberately told lies to deceive us? Bar?"
Yun Luan shook her sleeves, with a hint of sadness on her face. She pretended to sigh helplessly. "I'm not lying. Today is the birthday of the imperial concubine. I specially selected a gift to give to the empress." Who knew that my gift would be stolen before I could send it out."
"This gift of mine is more than ten times more expensive than the so-called gold bracelet. If Miss Liu doesn't believe it, you can tell the maid who just led me in to come over and confront me. The gift I brought over, that maid, But you can see it clearly."
"Anyway, since Miss Su sat next to me and bumped into my arm, my gift disappeared. Before I had a chance to ask her if she stole my things, she raked them up. , a pre-emptive strike."
