Listening to Wu Sheyue's words, Jiang Qingxue turned pale. She snapped, "Bring it to me!"
Ning'er on the side knew that Wu Sheyue was fighting back, so she quickly stepped forward and grabbed the cloth bag from Grandma Wang's hand, and handed it to Jiang Qingxue.
Grandma Wang was trembling with fear, feeling that she was going to die.
Wu Liuyun and Jiang Qingxue looked at the broken jade together. They were both from wealthy families, and their daily life consisted of clothes, jade, music, music, chess, calligraphy, and painting. At least they had a certain eye for jewelry. The cut surfaces of those fragments were gray, they were really Beijing white jade... Jiang Qingxue suddenly threw the fragments on the ground, while Wu Liuyun frowned and stared at Wu Sheyue in confusion.
Grandma Wang was so frightened that she didn't know what to do. She explained in a panic, "Husband, madam... could the gray color be stained with dust when sweeping it up..."
Wu Sheyue raised her eyebrows and interjected, "Then soak it in water, mother. After soaking in water, the gray color may appear slightly green."
Jiang Qingxue clasped her hands and looked at Grandma Wang who was crying on the ground. This was the person she brought from her parents' family! She trusts her family more, so she asked Grandma Wang to take care of the warehouse!
Even though Jiang Qingxue was angry, she didn't do anything again. She just gritted her teeth and asked her, "Tell me, where is my mutton-fat jade!"
Grandma Wang was so old, she threw her tears on the ground and cried, "I don't know, I don't know! My eyesight is shallow, I can't tell the difference between this jade and that jade, these are all white... I have always been I thought it was mutton-fat jade!”
Compared to Wu Sheyue, Jiang Qingxue still trusted Grandma Wang more. Seeing Grandma Wang like this, the look on her face was a little relaxed. Could it be that Grandma Wang was really unaware.
Wu Sheyue watched her words carefully, and of course she was not happy that Jiang Qingxue was treating her differently. She couldn't help but interrupt again, "Mother Wang, you are in charge of the warehouse. Now that the things have changed, it should be your responsibility no matter what."
Grandma Wang looked at Wu Sheyue with droopy tearful eyes, as if she had thought of something, and said urgently, "No, no... Why did the third lady suddenly come to the warehouse today? Did she insist on looking at the inventory when she came? And she happened to take it. Thinking about this Tai Chi ball that was replaced... What a coincidence! Miss Third! Where did you hide the ball? Don’t scare this old slave!"
Wu Liuyun, who had always looked calm, nodded and said, "It seems that both Grandma Wang and Third Sister are suspected."
Wu Sheyue rolled her eyes at Wu Liuyun, "Sister, it's natural that Yue'er went to see Grandma Wang for something big. Besides, Yue'er also said that she should come and talk alone. How did Yue'er know that Grandma was not willing? You said I picked this fake one at a glance. Yue'er only dared to take action because it was cheap. There are so many cheap items in the library, and Yue'er might break any of them because of this. "
"What did you say?" Jiang Qingxue strode up to Wu Sheyue, her usually gentle and sweet expression almost turned ferocious.
Grandma Wang could only feel the world spinning in front of her eyes, and started crying hysterically, "Miss Third! You, you are talking nonsense! You can't frame me like this -"
Wu Sheyue looked like she was scared and stepped back. "Yue'er was just saying that she didn't hide any suet jade balls. There are a lot of cheap items in the library. Why is Grandma Wang so excited?"
Jiang Qingxue's voice was cold and cold, "Put them in the same warehouse as the mutton-fat jade Tai Chi ball. They should be items of equal value. Each of them is hard to find. Do you know what you are talking about?"
"Yue'er knows that if mother doesn't believe me, then just go and see for yourself."
Upon hearing this, Grandma Wang immediately crawled over on her knees and hugged Jiang Qingxue's thigh, "Madam! This servant has been closely guarding the warehouse and not letting anyone in or out. Nothing has ever happened before! Only Miss Jin'er is here. The mutton-fat jade I took is wrong, Madam, do you believe me, old slave!"
Jiang Qingxue has actually been persuaded by Wu Sheyue. As long as she takes a look, she will know whether they are real or fake. But Grandma Wang was like this... She couldn't bear it in her heart. If she really went to see it, then if Wu Sheyue made a mistake, she could still excuse herself as being ignorant, and then Grandma Wang would be separated from her.
Grandma Wang turned to cry and begged Wu Liuyun, "Miss, I have watched you grow up. You know who I am! I beg you two masters for your trust!"
Wu Liuyun pulled Jiang Qingxue's sleeve, "Mother, Grandma Wang and Grandma Jin have been serving us for many years..."
Jiang Qingxue watched Grandma Wang knock her head to the ground one by one, as if she didn't feel any pain. If you say that Grandma Wang is not guilty, no one may believe it.
But Jiang Qingxue knew that the people in the warehouse were more or less familiar with oil and water. Aunt Wang had been with her for so long. Even if she had a little bit of gold, she was unwilling to ask. She really didn't want to wrong Wang for that little change. Grandma.
Wu Sheyue was already a little annoyed that such a simple thing was so difficult. She said, "Mother Wang, you haven't put down the account book yet? The account should have written down where each item is placed, right?"
Jiang Qingxue asked, "So what?"
But Grandma Wang just felt that if Wu Sheyue said one more word, she would die.
"Yue'er remembers that the top layer of the C box is from left to right with thirteen gold hairpins, all of which are inlaid with agate eyes in the shape of a peacock. Next to them are the black and white double dragon Tai Chi beads. Then there are the burnt blue gold-plated ruby necklace and the coral red peony. Yingluo. That’s right, right?”
When Wu Sheyue was talking, Jiang Qingxue did not give any instructions to anyone else. She bent over to take out the account book from Grandma Wang's arms and flipped through it eagerly.
"I can't see the lower floor, but there is a plate of gold embroidery thread and two plates of silk brocade in the sunflower box next to it. Under the five pearl necklaces, there are purple emeralds with violet seeds and two pots of glazed green beans. An ivory cup, a pair of ivory chopsticks, and six small silver bowls, that’s right.”
Everyone stared at Wu Sheyue's opening and closing mouth in astonishment, as if they were looking at a monster.
Jiang Qingxue looked at the account book in her hand with tears in her eyes. What Wu Sheyue read was the same as what she remembered in the account, except that the rubies were replaced by agate, the six necklaces became five, and the silver bowls were clearly ten... And among the other emeralds, Class, I don’t know if it has been replaced with a defective product!
Grandma Wang slapped the ground and cried, "Miss Third, why did you frame this old slave! Why... you must have replaced something in the library, otherwise how could you know so well!"
Grandma Wang's heart was broken and out of control. As she spoke, she staggered up and went to pull Wu Sheyue.
"Mommy, didn't you say, 'This slave has always been closely guarding the warehouse and not letting anyone in or out. Nothing has ever happened before!' That's what you said." Wu Sheyue not only Instead of hiding, he went up to hold Grandma Wang's arm.
Ning'er stepped forward to help control it, while Bai Lian took a step back for fear of accidentally hurting herself.
There was a stabbing sound during the tearing process, and the sleeves of Grandma Wang's coat were torn off by Wu Sheyue, and the collar was also pulled open a lot. What was exposed underneath was not a white tunic, but a dark green dress embroidered with golden flowers. The golden embroidery thread slowly glows in the sun, and the splendor and grace can be seen from just one sleeve. (To be continued)
