Chapter 24
Not long after the kitten entered, Butler Fan came with a nanny carrying a bag of things.
"Reporting to the prince, this is what was found in Lingping's house!"
Butler Fan motioned to his mother to bring the parcel in front of Xiao Lintian.
Grandma opened it and found a few simple pieces of jewelry and a few dresses inside.
Xiao Lintian only glanced at it and said, "Ling Yu, come and see for yourself, which things are yours?"
Ling Yu was really not familiar with her own things, so she said: "Aunt Li has always taken care of my things. Aunt Li, go and take a look!"
Aunt Li walked over, looked at it carefully, pointed at the jewelry and said, "None of these pieces belong to the princess, only these two skirts belong to the princess!"
Lingping looked at Qiu Wenshuang in surprise as soon as she saw it. She also thought that if Butler Fan went to search, he would be on her side and would help her hide her things.
Who would have thought that Butler Fan would actually bring Ling Yu's dress that she had taken away!
Qiu Wenshuang quietly gave her a calming gesture.
Lingping was half relieved, and looked at the jewelry carefully, and saw an unfamiliar jade pendant among them...
Ling Ping's eyes lit up and she immediately understood what Qiu Wenshuang wanted to do!
"Lingping, what else do you have to say?"
The evidence is conclusive!
Xiao Lintian glanced at Ling Ping with disgust, then glared at Ling Yu.
The master stole his own heirloom!
The maid next to her stole her clothes and hairpins!
There really is just as much maid as there is a master!
"This slave is wronged! Your Majesty, these two skirts were given by the princess as a reward to this slave when she disliked them!"
"That hairpin was also rewarded by the princess! I really didn't lie!"
Lingping said firmly: "The princess just said that the slave took away the silver and jewelry she had with her!"
"But according to what the princess said, when Butler Fan went to search, why didn't he find any jewelry or silver?"
Butler Fan also said from the side: "As for the prince, I have searched inside and outside. Apart from these jewelry, there is indeed nothing else!"
"Please, Your Majesty, make the decision for me!"
Lingping took the opportunity to kowtow: "Although I have a low status, I am a child of an innocent family. I will never do anything like a rooster or a dog!"
Xiao Lintian looked at Ling Yu, who still looked calm.
Xiao Lintian thought for a while and said: "Bring the jewelry over to me and have a look!"
Butler Fan held all the jewelry in front of Xiao Lintian.
Xiao Lintian looked at each item carefully to avoid mistaking his eyes.
But after careful inspection, I found that these jewelry were of rough workmanship, the kind that maids and grandmothers usually wear and can be bought for two or three taels of silver.
Ringing Ping’s monthly silver income, a few things are normal!
The only thing that is a bit special is the jade pendant.
This jade pendant costs about two hundred taels, is about half the size of a palm, and is the kind that men wear around their waists.
The quality is not particularly good, but it is much better than the average!
"Your Majesty...this is not the slave's jade pendant, it belongs to the princess!"
"When the princess gave the slave a dress, she hid it inside! The slave didn't find it at the time. She only found it when she wanted to wash the clothes yesterday!"
As soon as Lingping saw Xiao Lintian examining the jade pendant, she quickly explained.
"I wanted to take it and return it to the princess, but I didn't make it in time!"
What did Ling Yu not understand after hearing this? Why did he dare to go to Butler Fan to search for the purpose of using this jade pendant to frame him?
Because of the premature birth of the kitten, Ling Yu was suspected of cheating on Hongxing and cuckolded Xiao Lintian!
If they then falsely accuse her of hiding a man's jade pendant, wouldn't that further prove her accusation of having an affair?
Sure enough, Xiao Lintian's face darkened, and he looked at the room where the kitten entered with disgust.
"My lord, this jade pendant does not belong to the princess at all! This old slave is responsible for packing the princess's clothes and has never seen this jade pendant before!"
Grandma Li also knew how powerful it was and pointed at Ling Ping angrily and cursed.
"You bitch, how could you frame the princess like this? This jade pendant is obviously your own, but you still dare to say it belongs to the princess!"
Ling Yu had no time to stop Granny Li's rash reply.
Ling Ping smiled strangely and took advantage of what Grandma Li was saying...
