1141, Qingming
Xu Shu just felt that the atmosphere in the bedroom was a little different from when she first came in the morning, but now it is exactly the same. Miss Qiu Er said rudely to her twice. I don’t know if Miss Qiu Er really held a grudge when she was still being used as a gun. However, her unsophisticated mind was exactly the same as that of the Qiu family.
"What does Miss Qiu Er mean?" Xu Shu asked lightly. Although Miss Qiu Er did not name her, it was obviously targeting Xu Shu.
Miss Qiu Er laughed at me, "You have the face to ask me what you did yourself? You have the face to ask, but I don't even have the face to say it!"
"Since you have no shame to say it, don't say it!" The empress dowager suddenly raised his face and shouted, scaring Miss Qiu Er so much that she shivered and shrank back. The empress dowager then said to everyone, "The Ai family asked you to come because Ai family lost something here. I want to ask if you have seen it!"
"I didn't see it!"
Except for Xu Shu's late arrival, the rest almost answered in unison.
Xu Shu had no choice but to ask, "What did the Empress Dowager lose?"
The nanny on the side replied, "It is a nine-tailed phoenix hairpin, with red gold as the body, and phoenix blood jade embedded all over the body. It was given by the late emperor when the Empress Dowager was appointed as the Empress. It is not only very precious, but also a symbol of the Empress Dowager's status!"
Phoenix hairpin...
Xu Shu was shocked and suddenly understood everything! Her eyes were unprecedentedly clear at this moment, and she was finally trapped in this muddy water.
"Such expensive thing is gone, you have to find it quickly!" Xu Shu spoke calmly.
The Queen Mother nodded, "You helped Ai's family to dress up just now, did you see it?"
"I have never seen my daughter!"
"I... I've just seen it!" A timid voice suddenly appeared in the corner.
If it weren't for the owner who was familiar with this voice, Xu Shu would probably have believed that this person was really as cowardly as she showed.
The Queen Mother was overjoyed, “Where have you seen it?”
Miss Jiang Si said quietly, "Just just now, when Miss Zheng Jiu was dressing up the empress dowager, I saw it in that makeup box..." Miss Jiang Si raised her hand and pointed to the carved lacquer makeup box decorated with tortoiseshell, "I have never seen such a beautiful phoenix hairpin, so I couldn't help but take a look at it again, so I wrote it down..."
But now the makeup box is empty and there is nothing, "Are you sure you just saw it?"
Miss Jiang Si nodded affirmatively, "I'm sure that the croaked head has a Dongzhu in its mouth. The Dongzhu is pink, which is extremely rare!"
The Empress Dowager couldn't help but nodded slightly, which shows that she was sure that Miss Jiang Si had really seen this nine-tailed phoenix hairpin.
"How can I throw away the things that are well placed in the box? Unless..." Miss Huang turned her eyes on Xu Shu, "Unless someone took them away!"
Zhou Jin was still looking for the day when Miss Huang was in the branch yard, and she was so shameless that she finally found an opportunity to take revenge.
Someone was united with him, and Miss Qiu Er suddenly felt that she had support and was confident. "That's right, something as expensive as the Nine-tailed Phoenix Hairpin will not be placed randomly. Someone must have thought about stealing it after seeing it!"
Miss Jiang Si was so scared that she waved her hand immediately, "It's not me, it's not me, I don't..."
"It's not about you!" Miss Huang frowned, very dissatisfied with Miss Jiang Si's response at this moment. She didn't have the energy to target someone who could not become her opponent.
"That's right, Miss Jiang Si has been with us all the time. You are thinking about the phoenix hairpin, but unfortunately you don't have the chance to start!"
Although Miss Qiu Er said this, there was a suspicion of touching Miss Heijiang Fourth, Miss Jiang Si was relieved after she finally cleared of the charge of stealing the phoenix hairpin.
"No matter who takes it, as long as it is taken out now, the Ai family will not blame you. But if you refuse to admit it and are found out by the Ai family, then the Ai family will be merciless..." The empress dowager snorted coldly and swept everyone.
Miss Huang looked at Xu Shu with ridicule, "If you take it, take it out quickly. The Empress Dowager no longer cares about it. Do you have to wait until the stolen goods are captured before giving up?"
Xu Shu mocked her back in the same tone, "Yes, just take it and return it quickly. This nine-tailed phoenix hairpin is not qualified for everyone to wear. If a person without that life wears it, it will probably be a long time for him to wear it!"
Miss Huang was furious and was mocking her for not being qualified to be a nine-tailed phoenix hairpin. If she could not be a princess, she would not be able to be a queen in the future, and if she could not be a queen, she would not be qualified to wear the nine-tailed phoenix hairpin.
Miss Huang angrily pointed at Xu Shu, "The Empress Dowager, she took it!"
The queen mother was obviously dissatisfied with the angry Miss Huang's accusation of illness, "Do you have any evidence to prove it? Or did you see with your own eyes that Miss Zheng Jiu took the hairpin from the Ai family?"
"..." Miss Huang hesitated for a moment, "Although I have no evidence and I have not seen it, she was the only one of us who had the opportunity to steal the phoenix hairpin!"
"Oh? How do you say this?" The Queen Mother seemed to believe in Miss Huang's trend.
"Go back to the Empress Dowager, I was waiting for you to change my clothes in the side hall, but only Miss Zheng Jiu left the side hall. Until I was summoned, Miss Zheng Jiu still did not come back!"
The Queen Mother asked Xu Shu, "Have you left the side palace just now?"
"Yes!" Xu Shu stood up and replied, "My daughter did leave the side palace, but the daughter was not alone!"
"Who did you leave with?"
"The side hall where the minister and Miss Gao left together!"
The Queen Mother nodded, "So you have witnessed it!"
Miss Huang retorted, "Empress Dowager, Miss Gao came back just a moment later. After that, she has been with me and others, but Miss Zheng Jiu has never seen her!"
Gao Zhinan came back just a moment after leaving?
Xu Shu looked at Lu He in surprise. Did someone else talk to her in another room just now? Or did she have an illusion?
"Is that true?" The Queen Mother looked at everyone.
Everyone nodded and said, "That's true!"
"Where did Miss Zheng Jiu go?"
The Empress Dowager finally stood up and her expression was the Empress Dowager Xu Shu was familiar with.
"My daughter went to another room to rest!"
"Can anyone prove it?"
"……No!"
If Gao Zhinan is not considered a witness, then no one can prove it!
