âThis âŠâ Lou Lianxin was originally jealously looking over and her heart was unable to resist from feeling sour. How could that country b.u.mpkin Lou Qingwu have something so rare like that pearl?
Finally reacting to Lou Qufengâs question, her face paled and softly spoke, âYes, yes itâs your daughterâs fault. Your daughter was just anxious and ⊠that jewellery box is just really similar to the one that I have âŠâ
How could she know that sl*t Lou Qingwu had such nice things. Originally, she had thought that it was something Dong Mei planted but âŠ
Lou Lianxin jealously gritted her teeth. That pearl was really good looking! How could Lou Qingwu be in such a rural place and still get such a precious treasure?
She was really resentful, really, really resentful! But right now, what she couldnât understand was, where was the imperially bestowed bracelet then?
What was up with Dong Mei? She glared at Dong Mei and she was confused.
Dong Mei was unable to resist looking at Lou Qingwuâs cloth bundle. But all she saw was that the jewellery box was covered very securely. She couldnât see a thing.
She clearly remembered that when she opened the cloth bundle and saw the jewellery box, she placed the bracelet inside it immediately, so how did the bracelet turn into a pearl?
Dong Mei distractedly stepped backwards but suddenly a face appeared next to hers, her clear eyes were warm and innocent, âAh, Dong Mei, whatâs that in your chest?â
As she spoke, Lou Qingwuâs long white fingers already stretched forward and pulled a red thread. Everyoneâs attention was drawn by her voice and they all stared at Dong Mei. When they saw the red thread get pulled out, a dark red bracelet was also pulled out.
This was the bodhi bracelet that Lou Lianxin had lost.
Lou Qufengâs expression immediately worsened, Lou Lianxin immediately knew she was in trouble. This time, she wasnât going to be able to get Lou Qingwu in trouble.
Right before Lou Qufeng could say anything, she coldly shouted, âBrazen servant, how dare you steal this missâs imperially bestowed bracelet, do you want to die?â
As she spoke, her eyes flashed warningly at her.
Dong Mei had no idea how the bracelet had gotten into her chest and her face was pale. She immediately dropped to her knees, âNo, no, it wasnât your servant who stole it ⊠no âŠ.â
âAnd you still wonât admit to the crime!â Lou Lianxin went forward and slapped her face.
Dong Mei had been slapped silly as she raised her eyes to meet Lou Lianxinâs gaze, she suddenly shuddered. Second miss was going to sacrifice her? But âŠ
âThis miss normally treats you well and seeing how you and your little brother are all alone and sincerely treat each other, who knew that this vile servant would dare to steal this missâ bracelet. And then try to frame big sister, you definitely need to be punished!â
Dong Meiâs face paled. Everyone only heard Lou Lianxinâs fury at having her bracelet being stolen but only she heard her stress the words âyou and your brother are all aloneâ.
Was the second miss threatening her?
Her heartâs hatred towards Lou Qingwu grew as she glared at her, this was definitely the eldest miss who had framed her!
She lifted up her head, resentfully staring at Lou Qingwu.
Then slowly lowered her head as she put both of her palms on the ground, gritting her teeth as she confessed.
âSecond miss, please donât be angry. Laoye, please donât kill me. It was your servant who was greedy, please, Laoye, eldest miss, madam, please look upon all those years that your servant has worked hard, please forgive your servant just this once!â
Lou Lianxin then let out a sigh of relief. At least Dong Mei knew how to scheme and was also loyal so she still had uses for her. Just as she was about to turn around and punish her a bit, she met Lou Qingwuâs unsmiling eyes and her heart coldened.
She saw Lou Qingwu slowly turn around, her red lips slightly part and beat her to speak, âFather, stealing a masterâs possession, if your daughter remembers correctly, is punishable by chopping off both hands then beaten to death with a wooden pole before finally being thrown out of the residence, right?â
As she finished speaking, she glanced at Lou Lianxin, âLittle sister, you wouldnât forget right? Just then, you were the angriest of us all.â
