It was nearly evening, Zhong Liyue was having dinner, and the eighth lady Sharanna and her personal maid rudely opened the door. Then, before anyone arrived, the harsh words had already arrived.
"Seventh Madam, you are so kind. You can steal other people's things and still eat without changing your expression."
Originally, Zhong Liyue didn't care about Salana's rudeness, but after listening to Salana's words, she almost spit all the porridge in her mouth.
She reached out and stroked her throat, swallowing hard what was choked in her throat, then took the warm water handed over by Lan Xin, and took a big gulp to calm down.
"Eighth Madam? What a rare visitor... I wonder what the Eighth Madam is here for? And... what happened to the stealing thing that Eighth Madam mentioned just now? Who stole something from where???"
Serana's brown eyes flashed with malice and disgust:
"Don't you Central Plains women pay the most attention to self-cultivation? Why do you, as a master, instigate your maids to steal other people's things?"
Salana's words made Zhong Liyue still confused:
"What do you mean, Mrs. Eighth? You mean, I instigated Lan Xin to steal things???"
Salana did not speak, but glanced at her personal maid. After receiving the instruction, the maid immediately took a step forward and said:
"My wife lost her favorite gold hairpin today. According to Qiao'er, the maid in Pulan Garden (the courtyard where the Eighth Lady lives), your maid Lan Xin, the Seventh Lady, asked her about the gold hairpin this morning."
After hearing this, Zhong Liyue raised her eyebrows and moved her eyes to Lan Xin, who shook her head:
"Mrs. Qi, that's not the case... Mrs. Qi, you went to collect herbs this morning. After I finished everything by myself, I went to find my good sister Qiao'er. However, I never asked about the golden hairpin.
Not to mention stealing..."
Of course Zhong Liyue believed in Lan Xin. After getting along with Lan Xin for so long, although Lan Xin seemed to have many secrets hidden in her body, Lan Xin would never bother to steal other people's things.
After giving Lan Xin a comforting look, she said to Salana:
"Don't say Lan Xin didn't ask about the gold hairpin. Even if she did, I don't believe she would steal anything. So I think the eighth lady must have made a mistake somewhere. Someone else may have stolen your gold hairpin.
This person has nothing to do with Lan Xin."
Salana had a ferocious smile on her lips:
"Seventh Madam, do you know which gold hairpin that is? It's the butterfly gold hairpin that I brought from my hometown. It's also the gold hairpin that you praised in front of all the ladies when we first met... I miss you, maid
I don't dare to steal my gold hairpin, but with your instructions from the Seventh Madam, it will be different.
Facts speak louder than words, Seventh Madam, we will find out if she stole my gold hairpin or not."
After saying this, she motioned to her maid to search Lan Xin's body.
Naturally, Lan Xin was unwilling, as it was an insult to her character. However, while Lan Xin was struggling with the maid, a golden butterfly hairpin suddenly fell out of Lan Xin's cuff and fell to the ground.
