"Rui'er, what did you say?" Ling Fengyan grabbed her and said apologetically to Mo Xuetong: "Rui'er admitted the wrong thing. Please don't take offense, Princess."
With so many people watching, and seeing Ling Ruier's indignant look, if Mo Xuetong didn't ask clearly, the matter would have fallen on her. Many people had already looked at Mo Xuetong suspiciously, especially at her. That ruby hairpin on your head!
"It's really Miss Ling Er's. I woke up early and said it was gone, but it turned out to be..."
"I heard that Her Royal Highness the Princess gave me a lot of jewelry. Why would you take other people's jewelry?"
"Who can have too many beautiful jewelry? This is the latest model and is custom-made. You may not be able to sell it even if you have money. It was already gone when I went there."…

Everyone was talking in a few words, and suddenly a frivolous voice came from outside the venue: "Your majesty, the princess, has never seen anything good, how could she steal an ordinary hairpin, and wear it so openly?" On top of that, I heard that Princess Anping has never been to Duke Dingguo's Mansion, so what kind of drama is this about climbing over the wall and entering the boudoir at night?"
If Ling Fengyan was let into the boudoir at night, it would be detrimental to her reputation.
Everyone's eyes couldn't help but fall on Ling Fengyan suspiciously. She was about to become the Princess of Chu, so she couldn't do anything like this.
Ling Fengyan didn't expect that there would be someone speaking for Mo Xuetong at this time, and also cleverly diverting others' attention. She raised her eyes and looked at Li Youmo, who was standing aside, leaning against a tree and watching the fun, with a ruffian-like expression on his face. With a hint of coldness, he pulled Ling Ruier's sleeve and gave her a signal.
"The second sister's hairpin was still worn this morning, but it disappeared after entering the palace. I wonder where the princess's hairpin came from?" Ling Ruier got the signal and immediately attacked mercilessly.
With a faint smile on her face, Mo Xuetong did not avoid everyone's suspicious glances. She raised her eyebrows and said lightly: "I'm afraid Miss Ling San is mistaken. This hairpin belongs to Concubine Jade when she entered the palace." What the empress gave me, I don’t know how it became Miss Ling Er’s.”
"I'm afraid the princess made a mistake. I just talked a little bit with the princess. We just talked about the marriage in the palace. How come I gave you a hairpin? I don't know why I gave the princess a hairpin." "?" Concubine Yu's leisurely voice came from behind, and everyone got out of the way, only to find that Concubine Yu had walked over at some point, with a righteous look on her face.
Yu Mingyong's matter was kept secret by everyone. Telling it would not be a good thing for either Mo Mansion or Yu Mingyong. But in general, it would damage the reputation of Mo Mansion's daughter more. Concubine Yu It was to death that Mo Xuetong did not dare to speak out about Yu Mingyong in front of everyone.
"Your Majesty, it's clear that you gave the hairpin to our lady, why do you still say that?" Mo Ye stood up from behind Mo Xuetong and said angrily.
"When will I, the master, still have your servant to doubt me? I can't give the hairpin to the princess for no reason. Princess, under what name do you think I gave the hairpin to you?" Concubine Jade? He scolded sternly, then pressed closer to Mo Xuetong, a proud smile flashed across his lips.
A trace of dark ink flashed in Mo Xuetong's eyes, and her eyes sarcastically shifted from Ling Fengyan's face to Yu Fei's face. How could he be so virtuous and capable that he actually made people from Ning Wang and Yan Wang factions work together to deal with him? .
"Either the princess made a mistake, or someone really gave it to the princess. This hairpin is not necessarily the princess's fault." Ling Fengyan tried to smooth things over, and her words sounded like Mo Xuetong's fault. To explain, in fact, she has already been convicted. It is not necessarily her fault, but most of it is her fault. It has been confirmed that she stole it.
She had nothing to do with Ling Fengyan. She really didn't understand how she had offended this most beautiful woman. Looking at the almost invisible pride hidden in her gentle eyes, Mo Xuetong just felt ridiculous. If it weren't for Yu Mo Xuemin has been fighting each other, but she really can't tell.
Another woman like Mo Xuemin who looks gentle on the surface but is actually vicious in mind.
"How could the second sister be wrong? This other person's hairpin is not dead when she wears it on her head. Besides, your hairpin comes in a set. What's the use of having a hairpin for her?" Ling Ruier said angrily. , casually took out a jewelry box from the maid behind Ling Fengyan, opened a set of ruby jewelry and appeared in front of everyone.
Except for one hairpin missing, everything else is exactly the same!
Ling Rui'er picked up another hairpin, stared at Mo Xuetong and said, "Princess Anping, you can see clearly, this hairpin and the one on your head are basically a pair, how come it becomes yours when it comes to you?" , if you say it’s yours, you can also bring out a set. I remember that the best thing in that store is the set of hand jewelry.”
After listening to what she said in detail, everyone was convinced. At this time, their eyes fell from the hairpin held by Ling Ruier in her hand to the one on Mo Xuetong's head. After careful comparison, they found the same form, the same ruby, The ruby and the jingbao under Yangxing are all the same. If they are not a pair, there is really no explanation why.
"Princess Princess, I don't know how you want to explain now?" Ling Ruier said proudly.
Mo Xuetong smiled faintly, stretched out her hand to pull off the hairpin on her head, and held it in front of Ling Rui'er's hairpin. A pair of hairpins were put together, and she could see it more clearly than before: "Miss Ling San, what do you think? Do I have anything else to say? Please take back what I just said, Miss Ling San. Accusation is more sinful than stealing. This damages the reputation of the royal family. Miss Ling San, are you sure you can afford it?"
The two hairpins shone in the sunlight, and the rubies sparkled with extraordinary brilliance.
Seeing Mo Xuetong's calm look, Ling Fengyan felt bad! Just as he was about to say something, Ling Ruier backed off.
But before he could speak, he heard a roar from the crowd.
Li Youmo had the loudest voice: "Dingguo Duke's eyes are really big. He can't even see such a big difference. Look, there are two protruding flower stalks on the side of the hairpin on Princess Anping's head. How come Miss Ling's family is so beautiful?" In my eyes, it belongs to your family. The next time I go out, my jade pendant will have to be kept in jail. If someone accuses me of sneaking into a boudoir or something, my father will have to beat me to death."
After saying that, he shrank back in fear, as if he was really going to be beaten to death.
Considering his reputation, he dared to say such things. Ling Fengyan and Ling Rui'er were angry and embarrassed, and they all blushed. Who is Li Youmo? What kind words could come out of his mouth, it was as if the boudoir of their Duke Dingguo's mansion was in the building. They could come and leave whenever they wanted.
"Li Youmo..." Li Youmo came here deliberately to cause trouble, Ling Ruier was going to go crazy on the spot!
"Hey, it's really different."
"Look, did I see it wrong? There are two more dots on the princess's hairpin. It really looks like the head of a flower stalk."
"It's different."
“What a difference!”…
"Miss Ling Er, Miss Ling San, are you still insisting that I have taken your hairpin?" Mo Xuetong said calmly.
Everyone could clearly see that the two hairpins were similar, with only two slight leaf stems appearing on the heads. Other than that, there was no difference.
Ling Fengyan's face turned green and white for a while. The situation turned around too quickly. Just now she asked Ling Ruier to force Mo Xuetong to answer. At this time, she didn't have to answer at all. Everyone could see that this was clearly not hers. Only.
Mo Ye took out a jewelry box from his arms, opened it, and found a set of ruby heads and faces. Except for the hairpin in Mo Xue Tong's head, the rest were all inside: "Miss Ling San, this is a complete set. Is it possible? It has become a set now." Did our young lady steal from your house? The eldest princess gave our young lady so many jewelry, how could our young lady still become a thief and climb the wall of your Duke Dingguo’s mansion! Could it be possible that what others climbed also fell on our young lady."
These words made Ling Rui'er blush. She couldn't say anything for a moment. She pointed at this branch, then pointed at the pair of branches, then looked back at Concubine Yu and stamped her foot bitterly. It's not that the hairpin has been sent to Mo Xuetong's head. It's a sure thing, why would something like this happen this time
Concubine Yu was also greatly surprised. She took a closer look at the hairpin, and it turned out that it was not the one she gave to Mo Xuetong. She looked at Mo Xuetong with doubtful eyes, as if to say, it's impossible, how could it be changed? As for the hairpin, it was obviously the one that was inserted into Mo Xuetong's head at that time, so why couldn't it be this one.
"Princess, was that noodle given to you by Concubine Jade just now? When I came over just now, the hairpin that Concubine Jade put in your hair was so dazzling that it dazzled our eyes. It's really different when it sparkles in the sun." Li Youmo smiled and said, successfully diverting other people's attention to Concubine Yu.
Concubine Jade just now refused to admit that she gave Mo Xuetong the hairpin and forced her to tell the whole story. When Li Youmo mentioned it, everyone looked at Concubine Yu with suspicion.
Just now, Mo Xuetong had shined a light on it, but it didn't last long. Concubine Yu didn't expect that the light shone on the ruby, and when it reflected, it actually fell into the eyes of several people not far away. Her eyes widened immediately, and she felt a little embarrassed. He opened his mouth to argue.
"Young Master Li may have seen it wrong. Concubine Jade said she didn't give me a hairpin, so of course she didn't give it to me. Things that Miss Ling San just insisted on will go wrong, and there will naturally be countless things for my concubine to do." Xue Tong smiled and put the hairpin back on her head, looking calm.
These words seemed to be explaining to Concubine Jade. Just saying them by her not only made her look magnanimous, but also made Concubine Yu unable to defend herself even if she wanted to. She even felt as if her fist had fallen on cotton. She had no way to make any effort. She had been pressing Mo Xuetong so hard just now, and now someone proved that she had indeed given Mo Xuetong the hairpin, which made people very suspicious of her intentions.
There are few people in Concubine Yu's mother's family, but she got close to the Yu family a while ago. Aunt Fang's incident caused a stir in the city. It is said that she murdered the legitimate daughter of Duke Fu, and the legitimate daughter of Duke Fu was... She is the Princess of Anping, which makes people suspect that Concubine Yu is deliberately trying to harm Mo Xuetong.
She is indeed a vicious woman.
Some people began to retreat quietly, staying far away from Concubine Jade.
Concubine Yu was so angry that she almost fell down. She didn't expect that Mo Xuetong could be so cunning. Although she didn't question herself, she was directly talking to herself. Moreover, she also explained for herself, so that she had no position no matter how much she wanted to explain. Others clearly didn't say anything. If she kept saying it, it would only make people more suspicious.
She firmly grabbed the hand of the palace maid on one side and pinched it hard. The palace maid standing on the side turned pale after being pinched, and she trembled and lowered her head, forcing herself to look at the ground.
Seeing that everyone's attention was on Concubine Yu, Ling Fengyan immediately stepped forward and smiled softly at Mo Xuetong guiltily: "Princess, it was just that the third sister had bad eyesight just now, just because these two hairpins are so similar. Sorry, not to mention Third Sister, even I admit my mistake, and please forgive me, Princess."
When someone accuses others of stealing, a simple apology is enough. Moreover, those who say forgive are obviously just admitting that they have misunderstood, just because the two hairpins look too similar.
If it weren't for the fact that the fifth princess's set of ruby heads was accidentally seen by him, he would have fallen into their trap today. It was clearly a trap set for him. Otherwise, even if he was a elephant, there would be no need to make such a big show of fear. It’s like people don’t know.
A faint smile appeared on her lips: "You're welcome, Miss Ling Er. I didn't steal it, so I won't panic. But since Miss Ling Er's hairpin is indeed missing, and there are so many people present, why not check more, maybe it's The hairpin came out." Mo Xuetong smiled lightly.
Search, so many people present
All the voices present fell silent and looked at Ling Fengyan. (To be continued)
