Begging for mercy

Her eyes were filled with tears, and there was a tear hanging from the corner of her eye.

When Xie Jue saw it, his heart melted. He couldn't care less about whether he was a thief or not. He hurriedly said: "Then I'll go out and tell them to keep their voices down, so as not to scare the sisters."

This massive inspection in the Xie Mansion lasted for a whole day, and as expected, nothing was found.

After all, several months have passed since this incident, and even if asked about the situation on that day, most people cannot remember it clearly.

There were some gains, however, as many traitors were captured and slaves in the mansion were stolen and sold.

There were cries for mercy in the garden, and the nun in charge came to Mrs. Xie to reply.

"Not found?" Mrs. Xie asked after hearing this, "Have you searched everywhere carefully? People have also asked carefully?"

"I've searched and asked. But..." the stewardess hesitated, "I didn't go to my cousin's garden."

"Why didn't you go to my garden?" Yun Xi heard from the side and asked her.

Grandma replied, "Master said that my cousin is young and easily frightened, so he told us not to go there."

"What are you talking about?" Mrs. Xie heard the closeness in her words and immediately became angry, "Girl Yuan has been here with me, what is there to be scared of?"

He also ordered, "Bring the people over quickly and call back soon."

Grandma hurriedly led the people over.

Seeing Yun Xi's lonely expression, Xie Shuang secretly held her hand from underneath and said, "Sister, don't be sad. From the bottom of our hearts, we all regard her as our own sister."

She pushed Xie Juo aside, "Second brother, did you say so?"

"Yes." Xie Jue also came to comfort her, "Don't be sad, sister. My father didn't mean anything else. Maybe he thought the same as me and knew that it was impossible to be someone from my sister's garden, so he didn't search for it."

Yun Xi raised his eyes to look at him, his eyes were already red, and against the white face, he looked even more fragile and pitiful.

Xie Jue suddenly became anxious, "Sister, please don't cry. It was me who caused the trouble, but it made my sister sad. This is really my fault."

He really regretted it in his heart. He really shouldn't have chewed that tongue in front of his aunt that day.

Yun Xi saw his remorse in his eyes. He held up the handkerchief and slowly held back his tears. Then he forced a smile and said, "I don't blame brother, it's just me who overthinks it."

The grandma who went to do the inspection came back soon. The maid behind her was escorting someone, Su Ling from Yunxi's room.

"Back to the old lady, nothing was found in Tangluo Garden. But I found this in the maid's room..."

Grandma stepped forward, took out a cloth bag and placed it on the table.

When I opened it, I found some hairpin rings and jewelry inside, which were extremely rich and exquisite. At first glance, I couldn't tell they were the things of a maid.

"Isn't this my sister's hairpin?" Xie Shuang recognized one of them, "I saw my sister wearing it before."

This confirmed Suling's reputation as theft.

Now that the matter has come to this, Su Ling also knows that her end is coming, so she lowers her head and does not defend herself.

Mrs. Xie turned to Yun Xi and asked, "Girl Yuan, this is the person in your room. What do you think we should do with it?"

It was common for slaves to be beaten to death for stealing their master's property.

Yun Xi thought for a while, then walked to Mrs. Xie and knelt down, "Grandma, Yuan'er is bold and wants to ask you for a favor on her behalf."

"I know the situation in her family. She also has a younger brother who has been suffering from insufficiency since he was born. He will be supported by the monthly medication money. She stole this beaded hairpin from me, and she must have wanted to sell it to her.

My brother took medicine. Although this is wrong, I can understand it."
