Chapter Sixteen: Who Broke It!

"Have you seen this vase?" Shen Chuhan turned to look at Xuruoxue.

"No." Xuruoxue shook her head.

Shen Chuhan stared at her for a long time, and found that her eyes were clear and showed no signs of lying, so he stopped asking.

Ji Xiaorou felt jealous when she saw that Shen Chuhan didn't even interrogate her, but just believed her.

Then he said with a serious face, "Sister Xue'er, I found this in your yard, how come you haven't seen it? Since it has been broken, you can sincerely apologize to your uncle, and I will probably not hold you accountable. Responsibility, why lie?"

Xuruoxue immediately frowned after hearing this and said unhappily: "Why should I apologize? Why should I admit something I didn't do?"

Ji Xiaorou raised his eyes and met her dark eyes. He was a little flustered, so he pretended to be aggrieved and said: "Sister, I am doing this for your own good. How dare you do it and dare not admit it?"

Xuruoxue's eyebrows were cold, Ji Xiaorou's arrival was very strange today.

And the purpose is very clear, which is to get myself to admit that I broke the vase in the General's Mansion.

It seems that the appearance of this vase here must have something to do with her, but now she has no evidence, so it is a bit difficult to deal with it.

She raised her head and looked at Shen Chuhan, who was standing aside without saying a word: "Do you believe me?"

Xuruoxue thought to herself that this must be Ji Xiaorou's fault, so she must not be allowed to succeed.

Shen Chuhan glanced at Ji Xiaorou with a faint look, and nodded towards Xuruoxue: "I believe it."

"Brother Han..."

When Ji Xiaorou saw Shen Chuhan standing firmly on Xuruoxue's side, she couldn't help pouting her lips with reluctance on her face.

"You said I broke the vase, but you saw it with your own eyes?" Xuruoxue looked at her sharply.

"No..." Ji Xiaorou's voice was a little weaker.

"Then why are you so sure that I broke this vase?" Xuruoxue looked at her with a half-smile.

"Isn't this obvious?" Ji Xiaorou pointed at the broken vase on the ground with her eyes wide open.

"But this thing doesn't prove to me that this is what I did. You have to provide evidence for everything you want! You have to be responsible for what you say!"

"What responsibility do I...have? This vase was found in your place. What does it have to do with me?"

Ji Xiaorou quickly looked at Shen Chuhan: "Now all the evidence is pointing towards you, what do you say, Brother Han?"

"I believe she would not do such a thing. Now that there is no evidence, we cannot just accuse others casually." Shen Chuhan said righteously.

There was no doubt in Xuruoxue's eyes, but he asked her: "What do you think about this matter?"

"First of all, I have never seen this vase, and secondly, I don't know why this vase appears here."

"This vase is my father's favorite object. Now that it has become like this, I have to give him an explanation."

"I understand, since this matter has implicated me, I will definitely get to the bottom of it!" Xuruoxue glanced in Ji Xiaorou's direction seemingly casually.

Ji Xiaorou pretended to be calm: "What else do you have to explain? How do you explain the vase appearing in your courtyard?"

"Someone must have deliberately wanted to frame me, so they secretly buried the vase in my yard and then took the opportunity to expose the vase to others."

As soon as she finished speaking, Ji Xiaorou's body couldn't help but shudder.

He clutched Hua'er beside him with his hands, feeling a little nervous.

Shen Chuhan noticed the unnatural look on Ji Xiaorou's face, but didn't say anything more. After all, there was no evidence and he couldn't draw any conclusions.

Immediately afterwards, Xuruoxue's sonorous and powerful voice was heard: "If I find out who framed me, I will not let her have an easy time!"

Shen Chuhan nodded calmly and said in a very solemn tone: "In that case, you will find the person who framed you. If anything happens, you will still have me. I will support you!"

Xuruoxue looked at the vase on the ground with a serious expression.

She analyzed it carefully: "Where was this vase placed before?"

"Father's study." Shen Chuhan said.

Xuruoxue nodded: "Well, when did you discover that the vase was missing?"

"According to the person guarding the door, it should have been yesterday."

"Then why did you start searching today?" Xuruoxue felt a little confused.

"The concierge didn't dare to say anything after he found out, so he hid the matter." Shen Chuhan paused and added, "My father also discovered it accidentally this morning, so he sent me to look for it."

Xuruoxue was immediately troubled. If you had lost it today, it might be easier to find it. But if you had lost it yesterday, there would be frequent visits among servants in the mansion, and it would definitely be more difficult to check.

Suddenly Xuruoxue had a flash of inspiration and the vase broke. Then there must be some clues found at the scene where the vase was broken.

Xuruoxue immediately felt that this was a breakthrough, and perhaps new discoveries could be made.

She told Shen Chuhan her thoughts.

Shen Chuhan frowned, thinking about the feasibility of this matter.

"Okay." Shen Chuhan nodded quietly.

Ji Xiaorou saw that they had no direct evidence and were still looking for a scene: "How can you know where the scene is? You are not deliberately delaying the time! You are looking for excuses for yourself."

Xuruoxue said generously: "You can check my room first."

Shen Chuhan nodded slightly to her and led people to search Xuruoxue's yard. There was nothing suspicious.

"Aren't you afraid of disturbing the elders' rest if you continue to investigate like this?" Ji Xiaorou said with an unhappy look.

"In that case, let's go to Sister Ji's place first." Xuruoxue said very seriously.

"Why? What right do you have to search my place?" Ji Xiaorou frowned and stopped her.

"Sister Ji, are you feeling guilty?"

"How is that possible?" Ji Xiaorou quickly retorted, "I've never done it, so why am I guilty?"

"That's alright. In order to get rid of suspicion, Sister Ji should cooperate with Brother Six." Xuruoxue said tentatively.

Ji Xiaorou looked aggrieved: "Okay, you can go to my place, but what if you fail to find out anything?"

"If I didn't find out, I apologize to you in front of everyone." Xuruoxue said seriously.

"You also have to compensate me for my losses." Ji Xiaorou added.

"I wonder what Sister Ji is referring to?" Xu Ruoxue asked with a smile.

"You disturbed my rest, shouldn't you apologize?"

When Xuruoxue heard this, she immediately understood what she meant. Ji Xiaorou must have been unhappy because she lost so much jewelry and jade last night.

"Okay, I will definitely satisfy my sister."

Seeing that she didn't refuse, Ji Xiaorou said, "Okay, you can check it out, but you have to remember what you said."

"Of course." Xu Ruoxue nodded lightly in agreement.

Shen Chuhan didn't say a word to what the two said, and led a group of people to follow Xuruoxue and others to Ji Xiaorou's residence.

Ji Xiaorou watched the group leave, deliberately falling a few steps behind, and cautiously said to Hua'er, "You didn't leave any traces, did you?"

Hua'er was a little frightened at this time, but she said with certainty on her face: "Don't worry, Miss, all the slaves have been cleaned up."

"That's good." Ji Xiaorou breathed a sigh of relief after hearing this.

After a while, everyone arrived at Ji Xiaorou's yard.

Looking at the guards, Ji Xiaorou said with great disgust: "You guys, be careful, don't damage my things!"

Hearing this, the guard gently opened the door to the courtyard and began to check each room.

When Ji Xiaorou saw Xu Ruoxue wanting to go to her room, she quickly stopped her: "How can you go in?"

"Why not?" Xuruoxue looked at her puzzled.

"Now you are the most suspected. What if you frame me deliberately to get away with it?" Ji Xiaorou looked at her with suspicion.

"She is not that kind of person, you can rest assured!"

Shen Chuhan stood behind Xuruoxue and said calmly.

"Brother Han!" Ji Xiaorou felt jealous when she saw Shen Chuhan protecting her like this.

Xuruoxue chuckled and said to Shen Chuhan: "Sister Ji is right, let's find someone else to take a look."

The purpose of her trip was to check out Ji Xiaorou's yard. Today, Ji Xiaorou spoke strangely and acted unspeakably weird.

Moreover, the vase was obviously buried in the ground, so why did she happen to fall there and directly discover the vase hidden in the soil.

Xuruoxue already had a rough guess about the person who actually broke the vase.

Then he called some women to check Ji Xiaorou's room.

The women found nothing and walked out shaking their heads.

Xuruoxue frowned, it seemed that Ji Xiaorou was really impeccable in her work!

At this time, a guard hurriedly ran to several people: "Master, Miss, my subordinates found a piece of broken porcelain in the servant's room. I would like to ask some masters to take a look."

Xuruoxue had never seen the vase, but the fragments in the guard's hands were indeed somewhat similar to the porcelain pieces dug out of the ground before.

After hearing this, Shen Chuhan took it in his hand and looked at it carefully, and was very sure that this was his father's vase.

He turned to Ji Xiaorou and said angrily: "How do you explain this?"

"This... this must be Xuruoxue who framed me. I don't know what's going on? Brother Han, you have to believe me!"

Ji Xiaorou was already panicked when she saw the broken piece of porcelain, and now that she saw Shen Chuhan questioning herself, she was even more at a loss.

There was no joy at all in finding the real murderer on Xuruoxue's face. Instead, she stared at Ji Xiaorou: "Sister, I didn't expect you to be this kind of person, why did you frame me!"

"I didn't do this!" Ji Xiaorou's tone was very sharp because she was nervous.

"I found fragments in your yard, don't you admit it?" This time it was Xuruoxue's turn to question Ji Xiaorou.

"No...it's really not me!" Ji Xiaorou begged Shen Chuhan for mercy in fear, feeling very flustered in her heart.
