Chapter 51 Jiang Xueqing Crying
It was you. You must have found the jade pendant in the room ahead of time and hid it."
Jiang Xueqing pushed Liu Yu back several steps with one palm.
Mr. Chen San quickly supported Liu Yu and looked at Jiang Xueqing with cold eyes.
"Second brother." The old lady said in a deep voice: "Is this what you promised me?"
"I don't think you need to check it. Can't you see something so obvious?"
Jiang Xueqing realized that Liu Yu was trying to trick her, and she immediately started crying to Master Chen.
Master Chen knew his mother was angry, but he still couldn't believe that Jiang Xueqing would be the kind of person who would frame his third brother's aunt. He stiffened his neck and said:
"I do not believe."
Seeing Jiang Xueqing crying so sadly and that framing her was too bad, Chen Ruqi felt that it was unlikely that Jiang Xueqing would do it.
So he said:
"I don't think she's that kind of person, Grandma. Why don't we check it out again?"
"Okay, okay, since you are still stubborn and want to investigate, then wait for the result. I'll wait for you to slap me in the face." The old lady said angrily.
It is true that crying children get candy. Jiang Xueqing just needed a few drops of cat urine to make them believe it.
"Don't be afraid, she will recognize it." Just as Liu Yu was expressing his regret, Uncle Chen San said in a voice that only the two of them could hear.
Liu Yu looked at him in confusion.
The jade pendant is right in his hand, how can Jiang Xueqing recognize it?
Could it be that he would bite her like Jiang Xueqing did?
If he really did that, people would only think that Mr. Chen San did it on purpose to exonerate her.
This style of behavior is not something that Mr. Chen San would do.
It can be seen that he is planning a strategy. Could it be that...
"Third Master, I found it. The fourth lady's jade pendant was found."
At this moment, the sound of wind whistling was heard outside the house.
Jiang Xueqing was delighted and quickly ran to the door, stopped Feng Xiao, snatched the jade pendant from his hand, and walked up to Liu Yu aggressively, pointing at her:
"Liu Yu, what else do you have to say? You are so bold that you actually dared to steal the fourth lady's jade pendant." She walked quickly to the old lady and handed the jade pendant to her:
"Look, old lady, this is the fourth lady's jade pendant! How should we deal with Aunt Liu?"
The old lady took the jade pendant from Jiang Xueqing's hand, looked at it and nodded:
"It is indeed Sister Qi's jade pendant. Each of the girls in the family has one, and there are words engraved underneath."
"Liu Yu, the evidence is irrefutable, why don't you confess your guilt quickly?"
Jiang Xueqing was proud and looked at Liu Yu with contempt.
Everyone's eyes instantly fell on Liu Yu.
Liu Yu stared at Mr. Chen San, asking what was going on.
Mr. Chen San patted her hands and looked towards Feng Xiao at the door.
After receiving the look from his master, Feng Xiao finally understood what had happened in the house.
It seems that everyone thought that this thing was found in Aunt Liu's yard.
It’s really a thief shouting to catch a thief.
Feng Xiao strode to the front of Master Chen San and knelt down:
"Third Master, I lived up to your expectations and found this jade pendant in Zhangheyuan."
"You really won't cry until you see the coffin. I heard there is no Liu Yu. The jade pendant was found in your yard. Guard Feng will not tell lies."
Jiang Xueqing was so excited that she had no idea that Feng Xiao was talking about Zhangheyuan.
Because she personally ordered someone to put the jade pendant in Liu Yu's yard.
Everyone looked at Jiang Xueqing strangely.
Liu Yu laughed:
"Aunt Jiang, it seems like you didn't hear clearly. Do you want me to ask Guard Feng Xiao to explain it to you again?"
"what?"
"Feng Xiao, speak slowly so that Second Brother's people can hear clearly." Master Chen San ordered.
Feng Xiao slowed down his speech and repeated each word.
"Boom!" Jiang Xueqing's brain exploded.
Zhangheyuan?
How could it be Zhangheyuan?
Liu Yu had no intention of giving Jiang Xueqing a chance to explain herself.
"Jiang Xueqing, you and I have known each other for a long time, and I don't think I have done anything wrong to you, so why did you want to frame me like this?"
Jiang Xueqing looked at Liu Yu with a dull look for a moment. Just as Jiang Xueqing was about to say something, cold sweat visibly broke out on her forehead and her expression gradually became distorted, as if she was in great pain.
"Ah! My stomach hurts."
Jiang Xueqing covered her stomach as blood gradually soaked her skirt.
Liu Yu immediately took two steps back, and at the same time, Master Chen San stepped forward and protected her behind him.
"I didn't touch her." Liu Yu felt inexplicably aggrieved.
Master Chen San nodded and asked someone to carry Jiang Xueqing back to Zhanghe Courtyard first. He also asked Feng Xiao to find the palace doctor.
Not long after, the court physician finished his diagnosis and came to Shou'an Hall to report Jiang Xueqing's condition.
Just as Liu Yu thought, Jiang Xueqing was pregnant, but due to her mood swings, she had a miscarriage and could never get pregnant again.
Liu Yu was a little dazed.
Seeing her like this, Mr. Chen San held her hand:
"Yu'er, don't think too much, it's none of your business,"
"You don't have to feel burdened. It's okay to have an abortion." The old lady also comforted Liu Yu softly.
They are so lawless even without children. If they had children, this family would be in unrest.
The farce ended just like that. The old lady asked everyone to leave, leaving only Mr. Chen and Mrs. Chang.
After being pulled out of Shou'an Hall by Mr. Chen San, Liu Yu regained consciousness and thought about what happened next. She couldn't help but ask why the jade pendant appeared in Zhanghe Courtyard.
"I asked Feng Xiao to put it in."
Liu Yu opened his mouth slightly, looking at Mr. Chen San, who looked so happy, in disbelief.
Seeing her disoriented expression, Mr. Chen happily pinched her face:
"Incredible?"
No pain, just a little numb.
She suppressed the strange feeling in her heart and tried to speak in a calm tone:
"I just feel like you're not the kind of person who can do something like this."
"Oh." Mr. Chen San put his hands behind his back and tilted his head to look at her. He became interested: "Tell me, what kind of person am I in your heart?"
"You are upright, kind, tolerant towards your family, loyal to your friends, devoted to the court, compassionate towards the people, and never harsh on your subordinates..." Liu Yu listed the advantages of Mr. Chen San one by one, completely unaware of the complexity in his eyes.
Is she talking about him?
Or is this what she hoped he would be like?
For the first time, Mr. Chen San couldn't understand what other people said.
After not hearing his voice for a long time, Liu Yu realized that she had overstepped the line. She shut her mouth and did not speak again.
They returned to Qinyuanju in silence. It was already past noon. The two of them had some snacks. Mr. Chen San took Liu Yu out of the Chen Mansion and the carriage went directly to Jinlin Street, one of the most prosperous main streets in Yanjing City.
Jinlin Street is close to the moat, and the entire street is lined with shops selling women's items, including clothing stores, jewelry stores, and cosmetics stores.
The Chen Mansion's carriage stopped at the entrance of Haitang Pavilion. This was a jewelry shop with two floors. The lower floor was filled with ordinary gold and silver hairpins, while the upper floor was filled with precious head jewelry such as oriental pearls, colored glaze, and white jade, which were used to entertain the rich and powerful.
"Why did the Third Master bring me here?"
