Lu Ronger handed over the banknotes and said, "Shopkeeper, I caught a thief who stole your family's money. Can you take a quick look?"
She handed the banknotes to the shopkeeper.
The shopkeeper was stunned for a moment. He looked at Chu Lianyi, who was caught as a thief, and then at Lu Ronger, and he immediately understood what happened.
Lu Ronger raised her eyebrows and said, "Shopkeeper, please look carefully, this is not a small sum.
Don't worry, as long as this silver is lost by your Treasure Pavilion, I will make the decision for you."
The shopkeeper is a shrewd man, and he knows all the ladies in front of him.
His eyes moved, and he hurriedly took the banknotes, then checked them and said: "These are indeed the banknotes of our Zhenbao Pavilion."
Lu Ronger looked at Chu Lianyi and asked, "What else do you have to say?"
Chu Lianyi said: "Shopkeeper Liu, this is the money I got from selling my jewelry just now. Please explain it clearly to Miss Lu."
Shopkeeper Liu frowned and said, "Why sell jewelry? Our Zhenbao Pavilion never accepts items sold by others.
I think this girl is from a wealthy family, how could she do such a thing?"
Chu Lianyi was a little annoyed when he heard this: "Shopkeeper Liu, do you want to collect my things and take the money back?"
Shopkeeper Liu said, "What evidence do you have to prove that I collected your things?"
Chu Lianyi indeed had no evidence. Today she came to Zhenbao Pavilion to sell off the dowry her father bought for her.
Originally, the jewelry had been sold to Zhenbao Pavilion at a low price, but unexpectedly, shopkeeper Liu took the jewelry and wanted to get back the thousand taels of silver.
Shopkeeper Liu was also convinced that she had no evidence. Today he accepted the jewelry sold by Chu Lianyi and actually made a profit, but this young lady from the Lu family suddenly stepped in.
This lady is a valued customer of their Zhenbao Pavilion. If she knew that their Zhenbao Pavilion recycles jewelry and then sells it, then he would not have to stop the business of Zhenbao Pavilion.
So after weighing the situation, he decided to follow Lu Ronger's words and accuse Chu Lianyi of stealing the money from their Treasure Pavilion.
This was a secret deal and no one knew about it.
Shopkeeper Liu was confident, he said: "Since you can't produce any evidence, don't make false claims here. You stole the money from our Zhenbao Pavilion, and everyone got the stolen goods. Even if you sue the officials, you won't pay attention."
But Chu Lianyi suddenly laughed: "Who said I have no evidence? When I came to sell my jewelry today, I bumped into a man selling osmanthus nectar, and the man's osmanthus nectar spilled on the jewelry box.
Although the osmanthus honey has been wiped off, the smell is still there. When Shopkeeper Liu checked the jewelry just now, you really liked the box containing the jewelry and touched it several times.
If you have never touched the jewelry I sent you, you will definitely not have the smell of osmanthus nectar on your hands. Shopkeeper Liu, do you dare to let everyone smell it to see if there is any smell of osmanthus nectar on your hands?"
Shopkeeper Liu's expression changed, as if he didn't expect Chu Lianyi to have such a trick.
He hid his hands in his sleeves and felt a little flustered for a moment.
Chu Lianyi said: "You don't dare, I dare. I have touched that jewelry box, so my hands also smell like osmanthus honey."
She put her hand in front of Zhou Xintong and said, "Smell and see."
Zhou Xintong smelled it and said in surprise: "It really smells like osmanthus."
Shopkeeper Liu's face became even more ugly after hearing this.
