Above the lobby, all the young masters and ladies of the Yun family had already arrived, and the old grandmother of the Yun family was sitting on the main seat, her brows were tightly furrowed, and she was resting with her eyes closed.
Yun Ruoyan was dressed in moon-white plain clothes, and stood respectfully to one side after saluting. Beside her stood her second sister Yun Ruoyao, third sister Yun Ruoyu and cousin Yi Qianying.
Seeing that everyone was here, the old grandmother winked at the mistress An, and An stepped forward, "A few days ago, the Queen Mother gave the old grandmother a rare object, the jade ruyi embedded with the pearl of the South China Sea. A few days ago This treasure was suddenly stolen today, whoever took it, it’s best to stand up now, otherwise it will be fruitless if people find out!”
Yun Ruoyan stood upright, and the corner of her eyes fell on Yi Qianying. At this time, Yi Qianying was only fourteen years old, and Yun Ruoyan thought she could see a trace of panic and tension from her body.
But what Yun Ruoyan didn't expect was that Yi Qianying held her head high, so magnanimous, but her red lips were slightly pursed, as if trying to suppress her anxiety.
She was able to hide herself so well at such a young age, no wonder she was able to win the favor of the entire Yun family later on.
Yun Ruoyan didn't know that when she was secretly observing Yi Qianying, An Shi was also sizing her up.
An understands Yun Ruoyan's temperament, and when encountering big things, she shrinks her head like a frightened bird. Normally, Yun Ruoyan would have been terrified, but today she is standing in the lobby without fear, always feeling like a frightened bird. Another person was changed.
Sensing An's gaze, Yun Ruoyan turned her head to look, revealing the scarlet birthmark on the corner of her eye. The scarlet color was shocking, An Shi settled her mind and looked away: what is she thinking, this is the ugly and incompetent Yun Ruoyan from the Yun family!
An's gaze swept across the entire hall: "Those who do not report what they know will be punished with the same crime!"
As soon as the words fell, there was a sound of gasping for air in the silent hall. An's sharp eyes immediately locked on the source of the sound.
"Qianying, do you have something to say?" An asked.
Hearing this, everyone in the hall turned their gazes to Yi Qianying, and even the old grandmother who was sitting on the main seat narrowed her eyes slightly, waiting for Yi Qianying's next move.
Yi Qianying's eyes were full of panic, and she knelt down on the ground with a plop: "Grandmother, aunt... Qianying, Qianying dare not say anything!"
Hearing this, it was obvious that Yi Qianying knew some inside information. How could Anshi let go of this opportunity that could not only give herself a reputation but also improve her grandmother's favorability, she immediately raised her voice: "If you have anything to say, just say it! I'm here I will decide for you!"
Yun Ruoyu, who has always been outspoken, also interjected: "Yes, Qianying! With grandma and the others around, you don't have to be afraid!"
"Qianying... Qianying really doesn't dare." Yi Qianying knelt on the ground, her words were aggrieved, but she didn't forget to glance at Yun Ruoyan from time to time.
Anyone with a discerning eye understands what this means.
An Shi glanced at Yun Ruoyan, and was surprised to find that not only was the Yun family good-for-nothing not scared out of his wits, but his arrogance became even higher.
The grandma of the Yun family looked at Yi Qianying on the ground, frowned, and turned her eyes to Yun Ruoyan, her expression softened a little when she saw Yun Ruoyan's calm and breezy appearance.
The hall was so silent, no one spoke anymore, as if a hole had been dug and waiting for the little prey to jump in by itself—in fact, Yun Ruoyan in the previous life did exactly that.
Yi Qianying was sharp-tongued, and Anshi pressed her every step of the way. How could Yun Ruoyan be their opponent at that time? Naturally, he became a victim of the hasty resolution of this matter.
But this time... she will never let the tragedy happen again!
"Why are you looking at me? Why did my sister stop? If you have anything to say, just say it." Yun Ruoyan smiled.
The development of the matter was beyond Yi Qianying's expectation, she looked at Yun Ruoyan suspiciously, her eyes were full of surprise, Yun Ruoyan's expression was an aloofness she had never seen before, and that momentum made Yi Qianying unable to breathe angry. She could only bite the bullet and say: "I saw... Sister Ruoyan secretly took Ruyi away!"
As soon as these words came out, everyone was shocked.
Immediately, An said: "Yun Ruoyan! You are the daughter of the Yun Family after all, how can you do such a thing! Besides, this Yu Ruyi is a gift from the Empress Dowager, what right do you have to steal it!"
Yun Ruoyu also joked: "Sister, are you afraid of being poor? You are not afraid of being laughed at if you steal your own things."
Yun Ruoyao rolled her eyes and followed suit: "Sister, I know that you rarely get rewards on weekdays, you don't have any gold or jade, but if you want, our sisters can give it to you, why bother to steal it?" Woolen cloth!"
An Shi gave Yun Ruoyao a look of approval, sighed, turned to look at Yun Ruoyan, and persuaded earnestly: "How could you do such a thing? Hurry up and apologize to grandma, and take out Ruyi , it can be assumed that this never happened.”
Yun Ruoyan sneered in her heart, but she pursed her lips and looked at the few people without saying a word.
Seeing that Yun Ruoyan hadn't moved for a long time, An Shi became anxious. She had long disliked Yun Ruoyan, but now this good-for-nothing miss didn't even listen to her words! This is simply the opposite! An's sleeves fluttered, he raised the volume, and pressed forward step by step: "Yun Ruoyan! Did you hear that! Return Ruyi, that's not something you can take!"
Yun Ruoyan raised her head and looked at An's, and said slowly: "My daughter can't hand it over."
"What?! Could it be that you sold Ruyi!" An raised her eyebrows, and asked sharply, "Okay! How could the Yun family have such an unworthy girl like you!"
Yun Ruoyan raised her voice: "How can Erniang want my daughter to return the things I haven't taken?"
The old grandmother, who had been frowning and closing her eyes to rest her mind, opened her eyes for the second time, and her eyes still fell on Yun Ruoyan.
Yun Ruoyan walked to the center of the hall: "Er Niang, Ruoyan has never admitted that she took Ruyi, how can you conclude that Ruoyan took something just because of your cousin's one-sided words?"
"It's not you, it's still possible..." An still wanted to continue to give Yun Ruoyan a hat, but she happened to meet Yun Ruoyan's firm gaze, feeling a little guilty for a moment, and quickly threw the topic to Yi Qianying, "Qianying! What do you say?" ! When did you see her stealing it? Tell me clearly!"
Yi Qianying's gaze flickered for a moment. She thought she had testified, and Yun Ruoyan had to dig a hole for herself for the rest of the matter. She didn't expect the important joints to return to her body.
I had no choice but to bite the bullet and said: "Yes... Qianying went out to relax last night, and saw a figure rushing out of the old grandmother's room. She is holding a jade ruyi in her arms!"
Yun Ruoyan sneered, in fact, it was clear that Yun Ruoyan accidentally bumped into Yi Qianying and stole Ruyi. Now that Yi Qianying had switched the identities of the two of them, she wanted to put the hat of stealing on her head.
