Regardless of whether this thing is an ominous thing or not, someone in the house dares to play such a trick to disturb the peace of the inner house. He must be punished!

"Where did you find the thing?" Shen Rui's voice suddenly became stern.

Seeing that this thing had been found, Lu Xiyun showed a smile of victory on her face, and looked proudly at Wei Zijin, who was silent, waiting to see the Lord Shangshu punish Wei Zijin in person.

As a result, the young man Qing'er's answer immediately made Lu Xiyun's smile freeze on his face.

"Sir, this thing was... found in the third lady's room!"

After the young man Qing'er finished speaking, everyone else, including Shen Rui, all looked at Lu Xiyun.

Liu Yiyi's eyes were full of ridicule, while Lin Xueyao's eyes were a little more sympathetic.

Unlike the two of them, Wei Zijin neither showed any ridicule nor sympathy on his face. He just stood aside and watched coldly, as if he was completely aloof from the incident.

There was a loud bang in Lu Xiyun's mind. She no longer cared about how other people looked at her. She shook her head and said in disbelief: "No...impossible...how could this thing be in my room?"

Shen Rui's face was gloomy, and his tone was colder than before: "Now that you have the evidence, what else can you say to defend yourself?"

Lu Xiyun met Shen Rui's cold gaze, and a chill slowly crawled up from the soles of her feet. She kept shaking her head and saying "impossible", with tears faintly shining in her eyes, but Shen Rui remained unmoved and seemed to say to her I no longer trust you!

"Master, you must believe me, how could I do such a thing?" Lu Xiyun completely ignored the manners she had painstakingly maintained, grabbed Shen Rui's sleeves, and begged in a pleading voice: "Master, I must Someone deliberately framed me, Master..."

Shen Rui swung his sleeves impatiently, pushed Lu Xiyun away, and called her by her name for the first time in front of everyone: "Lu Xiyun, you know what I always hate the most! The inner house is restless, and the family is in trouble. I'm not happy, how dare you use such despicable means to exclude others, you disappoint me so much..."

When he said this, he turned away, not wanting to look at Lu Xiyun any more, and ordered Qing'er, the young man next to him: "Go and burn this ominous thing!"

"No, Master, it's not like that..." Lu Xiyun was still begging, but Shen Rui obviously had no intention of listening to her anymore. Seeing that her begging was useless, before the young man Qing'er could walk away with the thing, he suddenly He rushed over, grabbed Qing'er's wrist, and said sharply: "It must be you, the dog slave, who framed me. Are you being instructed by the eldest lady to frame me on purpose?"

After all, the young servant Qing'er had experienced the world with Shen Rui. Even when the third lady pinched her wrist, she did not show a trace of panic and replied calmly: "Third lady, how could I have such courage to frame you? This The things were indeed found from Third Madam’s room, and I brought several other people along to testify!”

Several other servants from the Shangshu Mansion who came with the young servant Qing'er also agreed: "Yes, the servants indeed found this ominous thing from the third lady's room!"

Lu Xiyun's face suddenly turned pale, and her lips kept trembling. She no longer knew what to say or how to explain the origin of this ominous thing!
