"Can't search!" Su Yurou blurted out.

Realizing that he had made a mistake, he said worriedly: "Miss Xia is also a medical woman who treats the princess. It is really rude to search like this."

While speaking, Su Yurou quietly pulled down Murong Tong's sleeve and looked suggestively at the domineering Murong Zheng.

Murong Tong followed her gaze and saw Murong Zheng standing with his hands behind his hands, looking arrogant, and was immediately aroused with dissatisfaction.

Why, was he looking for an opportunity to laugh at his mother and concubine for using a thief to treat her illness?

"What Rou'er said makes sense..." Murong Tong immediately wanted to change his mind.

But before he could finish his words, Xia Qingyao seemed to inadvertently interrupt him: "Miss Su is thinking of me wholeheartedly, and I'm very grateful, but I don't care about the search."

Su Yurou suppressed her annoyance and said pitifully: "I just feel that there is really no need to work hard for a hairpin. I don't want the hairpin anymore, so let's leave it at that."

It was as if she was not the one who had previously accused her of stealing.

Xia Qingyao immediately took Su Yurou's hands and said with a gentle smile: "Miss Su really understands the general situation. Just now, I actually wanted to make a big deal into a trivial matter. But then I thought about it, if this matter can't be settled like this, if there is a villain,

What's the point of gossiping? I don't care about my reputation, but the princess can't let people talk behind her back and say that she used a person with corrupt moral character to treat her illness."

While talking, Xia Qingyao quietly looked at Murong Tong's face, and her smile deepened when she saw that he was really looking thoughtfully at Concubine Xu who was sitting in the corridor.

She knew the bad nature of this man very well, so could she just allow Su Yurou to use him as a gunman?

"What Miss Xia said is reasonable and should indeed be searched." Murong Tong looked serious.

Su Yurou's heart suddenly went cold. She was angry and annoyed, and sweat appeared on her forehead. She wanted to refute, but Xia Qingyao's words were so precise that she couldn't find a reason.

"That's all, since the Crown Prince and the Second Young Master both said so, let's search." Concubine Xu impatiently fanned herself with a handkerchief and glanced sideways at Xia Qingyao.

"It's better to search thoroughly, so that no one will say that our palace is unfair and only protects the servants in our palace. We must put the evidence on the table so that the culprits can be convinced."

"Concubine Xu is wise." Xia Qingyuan seemed unable to hear Concubine Xu's sarcasm.

Concubine Xu rolled her eyes: "Miss Su, tell me what that hairpin is like."

Su Yurou had an idea and wanted to pick up a hairpin that she didn't have, but then she remembered that she had told Murong Tong that the one he had thrown away was the one he had given her, so she could only vaguely say: "It's a golden silk butterfly hairpin with red treasures inlaid on the butterfly wings."

of."

"knew."

Concubine Xu ordered her capable maid Hexiang and her wives to search the rooms of Su Yurou, Cao Jinshi and Xia Qingyao respectively, and also asked her wet nurse, Mother Chen, to search their bodies in person.

Xia Qingyao naturally cooperated, and after searching, he bowed his head and stepped aside, his face calm and calm.

Compared to Xia Qingyao's calmness, Su Yurou seemed to be sitting on pins and needles, with thin beads of sweat on her forehead and her body shaking a bit.

The house is full of human beings. Seeing Su Yurou's appearance, there is nothing fishy about her. The servants couldn't help but whisper to each other with suspicion.

Concubine Xu felt something was wrong and frowned.

Cao Jin was even more worried and wanted to ask Su Yurou if she was feeling unwell, but she was afraid that others would discover their relationship, so she hesitated to step forward.

Not long after, the eldest maid He Xiang came to Concubine Xu holding a dark blue handkerchief.

"Back to the concubine, I found the hairpin."

Unfolding the veil, what lay inside was the golden silk butterfly hairpin that Su Yurou just mentioned. The butterfly wings trembled slightly with the movement, and the ruby ​​​​glistened in the sun.

Concubine Xu twisted the hairpin with her fingers painted with bright red khaodan: "Where did you find it?"

Su Yurou held the handkerchief tightly for a moment.

"The hairpin was found in Cao Jin's baggage."

"Impossible!" Cao Jin was still glaring at Xia Qingyao with disdain. Hearing this, he shouted in disbelief, "I didn't steal it! How could the hairpin be with me? It's a false accusation, you are making a false accusation!"

He Xiang said: "With so many people searching together, each other can testify that the hairpin is indeed hidden in the innermost layer of Cao Jin's dark green baggage."

"How could it be?" Cao Jin was stunned and fell to the ground.

Su Yurou's tense body suddenly relaxed, and then she frowned. The hairpin was clearly not lost, so how could it have reached the wet nurse? Someone must be causing trouble!

But Su Yurou was full of questions, but she couldn't ask them. She felt as if a huge weight had been pressed down on her heart, and her face turned from purple-red just now to bluish-white.

Concubine Xu held the hairpin, her hands trembling with anger, her face felt like a slap in the face, it was burning.

She wanted to make the princess miserable, so it would be good to find an opportunity to humiliate her. So she just decided that Xia Qingyao was the thief who stole the hairpin without thinking. After all, this is Prince Chen's Mansion, how to deal with Xia Qingyao?

Even a wild girl like her has to endure this.

Unexpectedly, the slap in the face came so quickly.

"What a shameless Cao Jin. Fortunately, I trust you so much, you are really a thief! Someone, give her forty blows and kick her out!" Concubine Xu threw the hairpin to Su Yurou, "

Also, watch your stuff!"

"It's wrong! I'm wrong!" Cao Jin yelled and was pulled out by the strong woman.

Su Yurou hurriedly caught the hairpin and watched the wet nurse being pulled out. Her heart was pounding for a moment and she subconsciously took two steps after her.

But it's better to damage a wet nurse than to have her lies exposed, right?

Su Yurou's steps stopped again.

The board landed on Cao Jin's waist and hip with a crackling sound, causing her to scream in pain. At this moment, she no longer cared about hiding her identity, and shouted for help to Su Yurou:

"Miss Su, please help me! Miss Su, please help me!"

Su Yurou's heart suddenly jumped: "I am just a guest in the palace, you are a servant of the palace, how can I save you."

"Miss, for the sake of me milking you..."

"Why are you giving me a hard time? Why can't I understand what you are saying?" Su Yurou denied with erratic eyes.

Seeing that Su Yurou refused to save her, Cao Jin felt sad and screamed amidst the crackling boards.

"You are the one with my big breasts, and I have served you for ten years! If I hadn't vented my anger for you, how could I have ended up in this situation? Sister Rou! Sister Rou, you are so cruel!"

What? After having a baby, you have been waiting for me for ten years?

Listening to the conversation between the two, everyone looked at Su Yurou in shock.

Xia Qingyao blinked innocently and in surprise, and held Su Yurou's hand guiltily and shook it: "Is Aunt Cao actually Miss Su's wet nurse? If I had known this, I would have just tolerated her..."

Su Yurou's hands were trembling, and she almost couldn't hold back the decent expression on her face.

"Rou'er, is she really your wet nurse? Why have you never mentioned it to me?" Murong Tong asked with a stern face.

The wet nurse who has served the legitimate daughter of Marquis Zhenyuan for ten years has been working as a servant in the palace for more than two years. They both deliberately concealed it before. What does this mean?
