Chapter 29 Old-fashioned frame-up

The maids replaced the exquisite pastries on the table and placed delicacies and fine wines. Since there were only female relatives present, the silver wine bottles were filled with very low-alcohol fruit wine. Even if you don't know how to drink, you can still have a few drinks.

Chi Jinshuang picked up the wine cup and looked at everyone present with her bright eyes, "I am very happy and grateful that everyone can come to my birthday party today. Here, Jinshuang proposes a toast to everyone."

She raised her head and drank the wine in one gulp, put down the wine cup, and continued: "I have been planning this birthday party for a long time, and have set up many fun projects. In order to let everyone have a good time, I deliberately did not invite the foreigner, and we will eat it later."

After dinner, everyone can go to the yard to play casually. However," she paused, the smile on her face became more meaningful, "I hope everyone will not cause trouble at today's banquet."

Everyone has some weird looks on their faces.

Playing tricks and using tricks at various banquets seems to have become a trend unconsciously. Everyone present has participated in it to some extent. Now that it was mentioned so nakedly, everyone was a little embarrassed.

Chi Jinshuang thought she had said it clearly enough, but not many people seemed to listen.

In the pavilion in the center of the lake, she learned that Tang Xi had lived in Jiangnan for ten years. She pulled her with interest and asked about the customs and habits of Jiangnan. Her little sisters also sat aside and interjected questions from time to time. It was a happy scene.

.

A maid hurried in.

"Second Miss, something happened up front."

The smile on Chi Jinshuang's face instantly disappeared, "Speak clearly."

The little maid glanced at Tang Xi and said, "The second lady of the Cai family said that the maid of the third lady of Tang's family stole her gold inlaid Dongzhu earrings and is making a fuss out front."

Chi Jinshuang frowned impatiently, lifted up the hem of her skirt and rushed out, the plum blossom glazed steps on her head swayed loudly, "Didn't you say you don't want to cause trouble at my birthday banquet? Those two people from the Cai family are really not economical lamps.

It’s so embarrassing to use such an old-fashioned method.”

Tang Xi followed her, calm and collected, but he no longer looked like the protagonist of this matter.

"Second Miss of the Cai family," why is it you this time? Chi Jinshuang hesitated to say the second half of the sentence without saying it, "Why do you always lose things? Last time at Miss Sheng's Spring Festival Banquet

, you lost a bracelet, and last time at Miss Li’s plum blossom banquet, you lost a bunch of necklaces, are you planning to throw away all the jewelry on your head and face?"

Cai Jing looked a little confused, and Cai Qian pulled her behind him, "My sister is just a little careless and tends to lose things, but those who pick up things and keep them as their own are really not worthy of publicity."

Tang Xi listened quietly and glanced at the child surrounded by everyone. She was standing in the middle of the crowd with her head lowered and helpless, accepting their pointing fingers.

"Little boy, come here." Tang Xi suddenly said.

The crowd looked towards her. When the child heard her voice, he excitedly raised his head to look for her. When he saw her, his eyes turned red and he pushed his way through the crowd and walked towards her quickly.

Tang Xi's eyes fell on the red slap mark on her fair and tender right face.

"Miss, I didn't steal it. I've been waiting for Miss Cai Er by the lake. I haven't even seen Miss Cai Er." The child wiped the tears from his face in grievance.

Just now she gritted her teeth and refrained from crying because she didn't want to embarrass the young lady, but now that she saw the young lady, she couldn't help it anymore.

"You dare to be a bitch, but you dare not be a bitch," Cai Jing scolded the child, but stared at Tang Xi.

Tang Xi ignored her and looked at the child, "Who hit him?"

"She." The boy pointed at the maid behind Cai Jing.

"Miss Tang San, in front of everyone, you don't want to just let it go, do you?" Cai Jing said.

"Of course not," Tang Xi had a faint smile on his face, but there was no smile in his eyes. "Where is the evidence? Bring it out."

Cai Jing was well prepared and winked at the maid behind her. The maid who slapped the child held out a gold earring with an East Pearl, and the other one was still hanging on Cai Jing's ear.

"This is the evidence. I lost my earrings and found them on your maid. Even though she didn't steal them, but she didn't return them and kept them for herself. Miss Tang San must give me an explanation!

"

There was a lot of commotion, and more and more ladies gathered around to watch the fun.

The plot of falsely accusing people of stealing things has been played out thousands of times in Shangjing City, and it is not surprising to everyone. Usually when such things happen, they can only break their teeth and swallow it in the stomach. After all, it is in full view of the public and there is no evidence. The party being framed admits that they are wrong.

, if you lose some face, it will be over.

Tang Xi's eyes fell on the small and pitiful Dongzhu on the earring, and he laughed "Puff".

"Why are you laughing?" Cai Jing looked ugly.

"I'm laughing. You are such a small Dongzhu earring. My maid at Earl Xianchang's Mansion really looks down on it."

Tang Xi reached out and took off a hairpin from the child's bun, holding it up for everyone to see clearly, "Every pearl on this orchid hairpin is an eastern pearl from Qinghai.

The quality, size, and quantity are all better than Miss Cai Er's earrings. This is just one that my maid wore casually. I really don't understand why my maid stole your one with almost invisible beads.

earring."

She was unhurried and her voice was as elegant as the sound of nature, but she crushed the faces of sisters Cai Jing and Cai Qian to the ground and rubbed them hard.

Taichang Shaoqing promotes his clean governance and simple family style. As his daughters, they naturally dress more simply. This Dongzhu earring is already the most expensive jewelry they can get.

.

Chi Jinshuang was completely conquered by Tang Xi again. Not only was she beautiful, but she was also rich. She really liked him.

The wealth of the Earl of Xianchang's Mansion shocked everyone. The Dongzhu was so precious, but the Earl of Xianchang's Mansion actually used it to reward the maid. To say it was a waste of natural resources is not an exaggeration.

Tang Xi carefully inserted the hairpin into the child's hair and looked at Cai Jing, "Miss Cai Er wronged my maid and slapped her. How should this account be settled?"

"Hey, what do you want?" Cai Jing's face turned blue and white.

"Of course it's a courtesy." Chi Jinshuang said with a smile, and stood next to the child, "This slap cannot be in vain, child, whoever slaps you, you slap him back."

The child was startled and looked at Chi Jinshuang in disbelief, then looked at Tang Xi hesitantly, could she really fight him?

Tang Xi raised her chin slightly, indicating that she could do it.

The child took a deep breath, looked at the maid who hit her, and under the gaze of everyone, walked over firmly and slapped her on the face.

The crying little girl finally showed a smile.

"Okay, since this is a misunderstanding, let's stop here. Let's all go and have some fun." Chi Jinshuang began to act as a peacemaker, holding Cai Jing's hand cordially and saying with a pleasant smile: "

From now on, Miss Cai Er should take care of her own things, it’s not good to always be so careless."

After that, he called the ladies from each family to play.

Cai Jing and Cai Qian were left standing there, neither leaving nor leaving.

"Sister." Cai Jing carefully looked at Cai Qian's face.

Cai Qian glanced at her coldly and turned away.
