Lou Qingwu hadnât even replied before third madam Xia Zhuling first called out.
And as if she wasnât afraid that the world was chaotic enough, continued to wave her handkerchief around, âThen search, search and search! This is the only way to prove that the eldest miss is innocent!â
If they did find it, then the eldest miss would definitely have to be kicked up but if they canât find it, ha ha ha!
Then sheâll be able to see how that woman Ruan Zhenâs daughter will act out.
Lou Qufeng muttered to himself for a bit before coldly facing a servant, âGo search!â
âWait!â Lou Qingwu stretched out an arm to stop the servant.
Her eyes faintly showing hurt, âFather, are you really suspicious that your daughter stole little sisterâs things?â
Lou Qufeng furrowed his brows, âIf you didnât take it, then even if you let them search, it wouldnât hurt.â
âWonât hurt?!â Lou Qingwu asked in reply.
Her face becoming deathly pale, âBut if you believed in your daughter, why would you still be suspicious? Even though your daughter was sent to the countryside for three years, she still has a sense of justice and integrity, knowing how to be loyal and righteous. Father really would believe that your daughter would do something like this?â
Her dark eyes were pure without the slightest imperfection.
This Lou Qingwu made Lou Qufeng falter.
Maybe she didnât steal it? But an imperially bestowed item canât go missing!
And it was especially because he didnât actually believe her.
Lianâer was right, she hadnât seen any nice things in three years, so being possessed by greed and stealing it on impulse was plausible.
âAiyo, not letting them search? Eldest miss, are you feeling guilty?â Fourth madam continued to fan the fire.
Seeing Lou Qingwuâs beautiful face, her eyes flashed dark.
Her own daughter was twelve years old and leaving such a beauty would definitely s.n.a.t.c.h her daughterâs spotlight.
There was already a Lou Lianxin above her and even though Lou Qingwu didnât receive any affection from her father, she was still legitimate born!
Lou Qufengâs eyes froze over. âEveryone, go in to search!â
This time, Lou Qingwu didnât stop them.
She looked at Lou Lianxinâs eyes full of provocation and slowly lowered her own eyes, hiding a flash of indifference.
This was her family.
Her father, her step-mothers, her half sisters, not only kicking her whilst she was down but unable to resist stepping all over her too.
This type of family, wouldnât it be a waste not fulfilling their expectations?
