Zhou Yunning firmly denied it, and Shi Sigou had no choice but to bite her now that she had said it.
"Third Madam, I have been friends with you for many years, and this is a token of love given to me by you yourself."
Chen Wanyu gloated and interjected: "If a fly doesn't bite the egg, the third lady won't dare to do it."
"Old madam, you can send a suitable person to the Yanlong Courtyard and ask Shuang'er, who is personally serving me, to take out my things and compare them. As for the hairpin, I have always been simple. I don't wear any jewelry like this.
You can stop by and have someone check out my jewelry box."
Zhou Yunning rebutted in a logical manner and generously asked people to go to the Yancong Courtyard for comparison. Her attitude was very convincing.
"Mother Yun, please come and take a trip." Since Zhou Yunning took the initiative, Mrs. Ruan felt that it was better to investigate thoroughly so as not to expose the truth and cause trouble, so she let her wish.
Aunt Yun was ordered to lead people to the Yanlong Courtyard. Except for the servants who occasionally whispered, the other people had different expressions but did not speak.
After waiting for a long time, it was time to play by herself. Ruan Mianmian jumped off the chair and clapped her hands, looking like a little baby having fun on her own.
The behavior of the little breasted dumpling attracted all the attention. She walked on her short legs to the coffee table next to her grandmother.
Ruan Mianmian's face was full of curiosity, and her goal was very clear, which was the two things Shi Sigou handed over.
"Come over to Grandpa, Mianmian." Ruan Geng motioned her to stay away from those objects.
"Grandpa." Ruan Mianmian picked up the hairpin with her small hand, "It looks familiar, but I'm sure it's not my mother's. It just seems like I've seen it there."
Ruan Mianmian raised her hand, raised the hairpin, and looked up at it. From the corner of her eyes, she caught sight of Chen Wanyu's expression suddenly changing, and she couldn't help but raise the corners of her mouth.
"It looks familiar." After being reminded by Ruan Mianmian, Mrs. Ruan vaguely remembered where she had seen this hairpin. "Bring it here, and grandma will take a good look at it."
Mrs. Ruan stretched out her hand towards Ruan Mianmian, and Xiaotuanzi suddenly turned around while holding the hairpin and was about to hand it to her.
"I remember, isn't this the eldest aunt's hairpin?" Ruan Mianmian said as she walked very quickly on her short legs and handed it directly to Ruan Chan, "Uncle, can you take a look?"
Chen Wanyu's face instantly turned as ugly as it could be, and she vaguely felt that something was wrong.
Qin Ruolan felt a chill on her back and her eyes were sharp. When Ruan Mianmian raised the hairpin, she felt it looked familiar. At this time, she was sure that it was indeed Chen Wanyu's hairpin.
With her mind spinning rapidly, Qin Ruolan whispered in Chen Wanyu's ear: "Aunt, I'm determined to lose it."
Chen Wanyu calmed down. Things were developing in twists and turns. Looking at Zhou Yunning's determined look, it was not terrible that everything would be empty tonight. She did not dare to continue thinking about the most terrifying ending.
Ruan Chan didn't answer, but his expression changed drastically in an instant. The Marquis of Ding'an saw this and felt bright in his heart.
The little maid clearly said it belonged to the third lady, so why did it become the hairpin of the eldest lady? Shi Sigou couldn't understand.
"It looks like my hairpin, but it has been lost for a long time. Shi Sigou used to be the garden manager, maybe he picked it up."
"I'm lying, I saw my eldest aunt wearing it a few days ago." Ruan Mianmian muttered, and the sound was not too loud, so everyone in the seat could hear it.
Ruan Chan naturally heard it. He thought carefully and realized that he had indeed seen Chen Wanyu wearing it two days ago. She was lying. She had an ulterior secret.
After thinking about this, Ruan Chan was so angry that his body was shaking, but he could still hold it in, but it was very hard.
After receiving Qin Ruolan's look, Shi Sigou said hurriedly: "I picked it up."
Ruan Mianmian was full of envy: "Oh, you are so lucky. You have been away from the Hou Mansion for a long time, and you still found the hairpin that my eldest aunt lost in the past two days."
The seemingly innocent words actually touched the heart. Everyone could tell that the meaning behind Ruan Mianmian's words was actually that Chen Wanyu and Shi Sigou had met recently.
Ruan Chan's face turned dark, and Chen Wanyu was very anxious, but for a while she didn't know how to explain it.
It's over, Qin Ruolan can already foresee that the already precarious relationship between her uncle and aunt has worsened.
Will her aunt be divorced? Qin Ruolan told herself that it was absolutely not possible. If this was the case, not only Chen Wanyu, but also herself would fall from the sky into the mud.
Qin Ruolan reminded in a low voice: "Aunt, child."
Yes, Chen Wanyu's eyes lit up: "I have a lot of jewelry, and there are a lot of similar ones. Maybe I remembered it wrong. Now I have a big belly and I can't live without people. It's all because people don't take good care of me. I don't even know where to throw them away.
do not know either."
It's true that Chen Wanyu has a big belly, so she can't do much. Not only Ruan Chan thinks so, but others also think so.
"That dog just said that we have been friends for many years." Ruan Mianmian touched his little head, "How many years? It's not a recent thing."
"Ruan Mianmian, what are you talking about?" Chen Wanyu was anxious.
Zhou Yunning said calmly: "If a fly doesn't bite a seamless egg, the lady will not dare to do anything she dares to do."
"You——!" Chen Wanyu breathed in her chest.
Mother is amazing! Ruan Mianmian secretly approved. Chen Wanyu said these words just now, and now they are returned to her intact.
Xiaotai Tuanzi made a face at Chen Wanyu: "Auntie, do you only allow state officials to set fires and not allow people to light lamps? You can talk nonsense, but I can't talk nonsense?"
"You slander your elders!"
"You slandered my mother!
"Old lady, take a look."
"Grandma, take a look."
Ruan Mianmian and Chen Wanyu exchanged words with each other, but neither of them gave in an inch.
Zhou Yunning saw that it was almost done and said softly at the right time: "Mianmian, you are right and don't speak loudly. Come and sit down quickly. Your grandfather and grandmother will make their own judgments."
"Mom, why aren't you angry? They are trying to frame you." Xiao Naituanzi said dissatisfied.
As soon as she finished speaking, Chen Wanyu noticed that the eyes of the people around her changed drastically. Although everyone knew it in their minds, it was completely different when Ruan Mianmian Tongyan Wuji said it directly.
"Shi Sigou, I will ask you this one last time. You must think clearly before speaking. If there is another half-truth, I will hand you over to the Kyoto Yamen for interrogation. You will have to shed your skin by then, even if you don't die." Ruan
Geng said leisurely.
He was scared just thinking about it, and his body couldn't help but tremble. Shi Sigou naturally knew how powerful it was. He couldn't help but look up at Chen Wanyu, and then lowered his head again.
The laws of this dynasty were strict and criminals were dealt with sternly, so there were far fewer people committing crimes than those in previous dynasties. Entering the Yamen was like following the Palace of Hell.
The situation in front of her is greatly beneficial to Zhou Yunning. As long as she can prove that the underwear that Shi Sigou took out is not hers, then she can clear up the relationship.
