Ye Chu and Lu Huai didn't know what happened in the banquet hall, they were still walking in the garden.
The night was getting deeper, and it was so quiet that you could hear each other's breathing. The two walked together, chatting with each other. The wind passed through the quiet garden, with some inexplicable meaning.
As Ye Chu got closer to the banquet hall, Ye Chu saw a man coming out from a distance. She stopped and took a closer look.
She noticed that the man was a little bragging, with a smile on his face. He was Shen Jiu.
Although Shen Jiu runs a song and dance hall in this Shiliyangchang, he is casual and naturally does not like this kind of social banquet. He always does this, and leaves after showing his face.
Seeing that they were near the banquet hall, Ye Chu didn't want people to see herself coming back with Lu Sanshao, causing others to look at him, so she told Lu Huai.
"Three young masters, nine masters are leaving, don't you come forward and say hello?"
At this time, Lu Huai's pace stopped, and he turned his head and looked over. Ye Chu stood by and looked at him, with a faint expression, as if the words just said just casually.
Lu Huai only glanced at Ye Chu, and he knew her mind clearly.
This kind of banquet was big and there were many guests, and he didn't want others to notice Ye Chu too much.
Lu Huai: "I'm standing here, waiting until Miss Ye Er enters..."
"I'll go back, how about this?"
Ye Chu blushed, and Lu Huai saw through her careful thoughts. Next time you still have to speak directly, so hiding in this way seems stingy.
Ye Chu nodded hurriedly: "Thank you for your understanding."
After Ye Chu finished speaking, he left immediately.
Lu Huai stood there, watching Ye Chu trot towards the banquet hall. The girl's back was extremely beautiful, surrounded by the gentle night.
Her long hair was blown by the wind, but she didn't know whether it was cold or not.
He couldn't help but smile.
The surroundings became quiet and silent, and the cold wind gradually stopped.
—
In the banquet hall, Mrs. Wu is making plans.
Mrs. Wu has a high status. Yin Shiyan's mother, Mrs. Yin, has prepared a room for Mrs. Wu. The clothes and jewelry brought by Mrs. Wu were all placed there.
She asked Ayu to go back to the room and hide a pair of earrings on her body. When Ye Chu returned to the hall, she asked Ayu to tell everyone that Ye Chu had stolen her jewelry.
Then, when searching Ye Chu's body, Ayu put the jewelry on Ye Chu again, and thoroughly confirmed Ye Chu's charge of stealing things.
There was a sneer at the corner of Mrs. Wu's mouth. This method is not clever, but it works well.
Ye Chu did not steal his jewelry, but so what? Ye Chu is just the daughter of a businessman. Even if her uncle is a high-ranking official, he still succumbs to the staff officer. She didn't put Ye Chu in her eyes at all.
And she is the wife of the staff officer, Ye Chu is like a grasshopper in her hand, she can handle it as she wants.
Even if others knew that she was framing Ye Chu, the senior officials crushed people to death, the wife of the staff officer wanted to deal with an ordinary person and could not tolerate others to refute it.
Today's incident was a deterrent to Ye Chu, allowing Ye Chu to realize that her life was in her own hands. If Ye Chu tells others about his affair, don't think about making life easier for Ye Chu in the future.
Mrs. Wu laughed, and if Ye Chu had the ability, she would find someone with great ability to support her, otherwise, today, Ye Chu would not want to escape the disaster.
Mrs. Wu took care of her clothes, and then walked towards Mrs. Yin. In other words, it was on other people's territory, and she always went to inform.
Mrs. Wu walked up to Mrs. Yin, her face worried: "Mrs. Yin, I lost my jewelry."
"Listening to Ayu, it seems that a young lady stole it."
Mrs. Yin's expression changed: "Is it a mistake? The ladies shouldn't do this kind of thing."
Most of the ladies who come here are not low-profile, and it is estimated that no one will steal things.
What's more, stealing other people's things at a banquet will definitely worsen your reputation after the incident is revealed. People with vision would never do such a thing.
Mrs. Wu sneered in her heart, but she said: "Ayu is the most loyal to me. She will never lie."
After a pause, Mrs. Wu added: "Mrs. Yin, that is my favorite pair of earrings."
I knew that Mrs. Wu was a little unreasonable, but because of Mrs. Wu's identity as the wife of the staff officer, she always wanted to give her face.
Mrs. Yin sighed: "Well, let me ask everyone to find out, maybe where do they fall?" But Mrs. Yin still didn't believe that the ladies would steal things.
Mrs. Yin raised her voice: "Everyone..."
Everyone in the banquet hall stopped their movements and looked at Mrs. Yin.
Mrs. Yin said very tactfully: "Mrs. Wu's jewelry is lost. Look around. If you find it, you can return it to Mrs. Wu."
Mrs. Yin didn't explain the matter, Mrs. Wu raised her eyebrows, and she didn't care, anyway, her purpose was not this.
Just as the people in the banquet hall were looking around at random, a voice pierced An Ning.
Ayu pointed a finger at a person at the door, and a sharp voice rang: "This lady is the one who stole his wife's earrings!"
Looking in the direction of Ayu's hand, there was a person standing at the entrance of the banquet hall, with white skin and a slender figure.
It was Ye Chu.
Everyone looked at the door, Miss Ye Er stole Mrs. Wu's jewelry
Many people are unbelievable, because Ye Chu's reputation is very good, how could he do such a thing.
But some people disagree, Ye Chu looks good on the surface, who knows what kind of person she is behind? Maybe she has a habit of stealing things
Many people's eyes changed slightly, becoming unclear.
Mrs. Yin didn't expect Mrs. Wu to be in the crowd, so she clarified the matter. After all, there is no evidence for this matter, and only by the side words of a maid, it is impossible to determine who stole it.
Mrs. Yin recognized that the girl at the door was Ye Chu. She had a good relationship with her daughter, and her daughter spoke highly of her. It stands to reason that Ye Chu would not do such a thing.
Moreover, saying that Ye Chu has a great influence on Ye Chu's reputation, and Mrs. Wu must be aware of this.
But she did not listen to her advice and did so.
Mrs. Yin held back his anger, "Mrs. Wu, the matter has not been investigated. It is not appropriate for you to accuse Ye Chu like this."
Mrs. Wu ignored Mrs. Yin, she turned her head to the side, Quandang didn't hear her.
Even though Ye Chu's uncle had some status, Mrs. Wu didn't take her seriously. Mrs. Wu thinks she can be backed by her husband, and the people next to her are nothing.
Yin Shiyan saw that the maid said that Ye Chu was stealing something, and said angrily: "You are talking nonsense, it is impossible for A Chu to do such a thing!"
Song Qianru saw that Mrs. Wu really started to attack Ye Chu, she smiled triumphantly, and waited for Ye Chu to make a fool of herself.
After leaving Lu Huai, Ye Chu returned to the banquet hall alone. Unexpectedly, as soon as I walked in, I saw someone pointing at her, saying that she had stolen Mrs. Wu's jewelry.
Ye Chu didn't know this person, let alone who she said Mrs. Wu was. I don't know why this person slandered herself for no reason.
At this time, a woman took a few steps forward and stood beside this maid. Under the light, this woman looks glamorous and tall, wearing an exposed red cheongsam with split ends.
Ye Chu recognized that it was the woman who cheated in the garden.
Oh, it turned out to be her.
Ye Chu doesn't understand what happened now, everything is already clear.
The woman who cheated was Mrs. Wu, and she probably knew that she had seen her cheating in the garden, and now she wanted to give herself a slap in the face.
Mrs. Wu instructed the maid to accuse herself of stealing her jewelry, just to tell Ye Chu that if she wanted to do something to Ye Chu, her wife, as the staff officer, would be easy.
Mrs. Wu wants to let herself rot in her stomach what she saw tonight. If she told others about it, she would never let herself go.
Framing yourself for stealing is just the beginning. If you are not obedient, you will have more troubles to find yourself later.
Although I don't know why this Mrs. Wu knew that she was there, but the matter has come to this point, and there is no way to go back, Ye Chu naturally wants to meet her.
Ye Chu suddenly smiled lightly, her back was straight, her eyes were very clear, and she didn't care about everyone's strange gazes.
As if the person accused of stealing is not her.
Mrs. Wu didn't expect Ye Chu to be watched by everyone in this way, and was charged with theft again, and she was still so calm now.
Mrs. Wu looked at Ye Chu and frowned: "Miss Ye Er, what are you laughing at?"
Ye Chu glanced at her and said faintly: "Oh? I laughed that some people didn't know what to say, they opened their eyes and said nonsense, they knew that they had done something like that, but now they came to frame others."
Then Ye Chu sighed softly: "Some people's hearts are really black and can't be black anymore."
Ye Chu said this deliberately. Mrs. Wu falsely accused her of stealing, how could she not be angry.
Anyway, Mrs. Wu has determined that she must teach herself and will never soften her heart, so why should she be afraid
To deal with people like Mrs. Wu, the lower the posture, the more arrogant she will be. Therefore, Ye Chu used a tough attitude, making Mrs. Wu still afraid to do anything to her.
After hearing what Ye Chu said, everyone felt that Ye Chu was referring to something, as if saying that Mrs. Wu had done something ulterior to him, but now they are framing her in turn.
But Ye Chu's words were very cryptic, and others naturally didn't know what was going on.
After Mrs. Wu listened, her anger surged in her heart. Ye Chu really saw himself in the garden, and now this attitude was clearly provoking him.
She wanted to directly convict Ye Chu, but now it is difficult to handle things.
Ye Chu knew that she was slandering her, but she didn't want to plead guilty, so she alluded to her own scandal.
She didn't expect Miss Ye Er to be so smart that she didn't fall into her trap.
Mrs. Wu suppressed the anger in her heart and said, "Miss Ye Er, don't worry about other things. My maid said you stole my jewelry. Do you have anything to say?"
Ye Chu gave Mrs. Wu a squint, and said in a cold tone: "Mrs. Wu, instead, I want to ask you, why should I steal your jewelry?"
Everyone in the banquet hall thought that Ye Chu was the daughter of a wealthy businessman, and that her grandfather was also a well-known wealthy businessman in Shanghai.
Everyone turned their eyes to Ye Chu. Ye Chu's dress looked ordinary, but it could be seen that the material was excellent and the tailoring was extremely delicate.
The decorations in Ye Chufa's room, as well as the leather shoes on his feet, are all exquisite products, with low-key luxury everywhere.
Just ask, how could a person who has been spoiled and raised since he was a child, could do such a thing as stealing
But the wife of a staff officer, why would she hold on to a girl? Could it be that Ye Chu did it
What made Mrs. Wu angry
Everyone had different thoughts, but gradually fewer people doubted Ye Chu.
Mrs. Wu glanced at everyone's expressions and knew that everyone was already a little biased towards Ye Chu. She was a little anxious, and quickly gave Ayu a wink.
Ayu knew, she said, "Miss Ye Er, don't quibble anymore. I saw you take away Mrs. Wu's earrings with my own eyes."
Mrs. Wu went on to say: "Ayu, you can make the whole thing clear, lest Miss Ye Er feel wronged and have to complain to everyone."
Mrs. Wu's words meant that Ye Chu had clearly stolen his earrings, but now he changed the subject and didn't tell the truth everywhere.
Ye Chu raised her eyebrows and didn't say a word. Anyway, she had a clear conscience, so she just looked at how they turned black and white.
No matter what Mrs. Wu did, Ye Chu would be able to trick her.
Ye Chu looked calm, and said lightly: "Then I'll listen to it with all ears."
Ayu said, "Madam, just now you asked me to count the jewellery. I went to your room. I ran into Miss Ye Er in the hallway."
Ye Chu raised his eyebrows, with a hint of sarcasm at the corner of his mouth, but was concealed by her smile.
Ayu continued: "At that time, Miss Ye Er was holding a pair of earrings in her hand. I took a glance at it and looked very similar to yours. At that time, I thought it was a little strange."
"Ma'am, I know that you like that pair of earrings the most, so I hurried back to have a look, only to find that the pair of earrings was missing."
Ayu looked at Mrs. Wu with a look of self-blame: "Madam, I forgot to lock the door when I left before. This gave Miss Ye Er a chance."
Mrs. Wu felt proud and looked at Ye Chu: "Miss Ye Er, Ayu saw you take my jewelry with your own eyes. What do you say?"
Ye Chu smiled slightly, but that smile was cold and without warmth: "I want to convict me just based on the few words that this maid scribbled lightly?"
"Mrs. Wu, you have to show evidence when you are a person and doing things. You have lived for such a long time, you don't even understand this point, do you?"
Ye Chu looked at Mrs. Wu with calm eyes and a cold smile on the corners of his mouth.
After a pause, Ye Chu said coldly: "Mrs. Wu is so irrelevant, accusing others without evidence. I don't know what you are thinking about?"
Ye Chu's voice was cold and cold, falling into Mrs. Wu's ears, but it was like frost and snow.
Mrs. Wu's eyes widened, and Ye Chu's lips were so powerful that she could not implement her plan. But this is someone else's home. For the sake of face, she still restrained her anger.
Then, she winked at Ayu again.
Ayu said, "Miss Ye Er, have you ever stolen your wife's earrings? Search your body to find out."
This is exactly what Mrs. Wu said to Ayu before, as long as she put the earrings on Ye Chu's body during the body search, Ye Chu's crime of stealing was confirmed.
What's more, they will not attack Ye Chu in full view, as long as they take her to the room, the rest is not under their control.
Ye Chu is absolutely indefatigable.
Mrs. Wu saw Ye Chu's resolute attitude, but she refused to compromise. She thought fiercely that if she didn't search her body, she couldn't frame Ye Chu. Today's body must be searched.
Originally, she just wanted to use her own power to oppress a little girl. Ye Chu was young, so he frightened even a little bit of bluffing, and let her take care of it.
Mrs. Wu is not worried that Ye Chu will tell her about her affair, anyway, there is no witness, who will believe Ye Chu's words
Even though Mrs. Wu was angry, her face remained calm: "Miss Ye Er, since you don't think you have stolen, you can prove your innocence by just letting us search."
"What's more, we are all women. When we search the body, we are also in the house. It will never affect Miss Ye Er's reputation."
Mrs. Wu's remarks seemed to be upright, but Ye Chu knew that after entering that room, it would be difficult for her to be charged.
Ye Chu tilted his head, smiling but not smiling: "A body search? It turns out that Mrs. Wu has already planned every step, just waiting to push the charge on me."
Word by word, very clear.
Ye Chu sneered in her heart. She clearly didn't make any mistakes. Why should she suffer such treatment
Ye Chu didn't eat hard and soft, and Song Qian on the side gritted her teeth with anger. Ye Chu's teeth were sharp and sharp.
Suddenly, Song Qianru remembered the most critical point, that was that Ye Chu had not been in the banquet hall during that period of time.
No matter how you look at it, Ye Chu has a motive for committing the crime.
Song Qianru shouted loudly: "Ye Chu, you keep saying that you didn't steal, then I ask you, you have not been here during that time, where have you been?"
Song Qianru smiled, it was a fact that Ye Chu was not in the banquet hall, and she was absolutely powerless to refute it.
Hearing that, Mrs. Wu glared at Song Qianru viciously, idiot, who made her bring up this matter, it's really something that can't succeed.
Mrs. Wu turned to look at Ye Chu, with a threat in her eyes.
Song Qianru said again: "Could it be that you are having a private meeting with some man?"
At this time, Song Qianru only wanted to take the opportunity to slander Ye Chu and completely discredit her, so that she could no longer get close to the third master of the Lu Family.
She thought she was a good satire, but she didn't expect...
Ye Chu's eyes were cold, and he was about to speak. At this time, a deep voice sounded behind her.
"Miss Ye Er was with me just now."
Everyone looked behind Ye Chu, and a man walked out slowly. He walked to Ye Chu's side, and the two of them stood together, with the same cold temperament, but they matched inexplicably.
That person is Lu Huai.
