"This face is fake," she lowered her eyes. "This is not my face."
The crowd was silent for a moment.
Mrs. Liu was the first to speak. She asked, "Miss Jiang Er, what does this mean?"
Jiang Li smiled, handed the head in her hand to Mrs. Liu, and said faintly, "I spent 400 liang of silver to buy a ruby head in the Jixiang building in Yanjing city. There are only three Ruby heads in the whole Jixiang building, because the gem is excellent in color and bright in color." After a pause, Jiang Li continued to finish saying, "but now this pair in my hand is rough in workmanship and dim in color. Not to mention 400 Liang silver, it's not even 40 Liang silver."
"Girl means..." Tong Er couldn't help asking.
"Even if I really want to curse my third sister, I won't use such a shabby little thing." Jiang Li's tone was contemptuous, "this is not my face. Someone took my face and replaced it with such a junk."
Someone took her head!
Things suddenly took a turn for the worse, and everyone suddenly realized, but a moment later, they fell into deeper doubts.
Jiang Laofu said humanely, "pear girl, someone took your head, what does this mean?"
Jiang Li looked back, smiled at old lady Jiang and said, "old lady, don't worry, I'll find out now, what's the matter?"
Old lady Jiang was stunned. In front of the guests, Jiang Li called her "old lady" instead of "grandmother". It was easy to know whether she was close or far away. This is because I didn't stand on Jiang Li's side when Jiang Li was in trouble?
Jiang Youyao and Ji shuran both flashed a trace of surprise. Things shouldn't have developed like this. Ji shuran's heart moved, and she didn't want Jiang Li to break her plan, so she said, "pear, how can this gem's head be fake? Don't you admit your mistake?"
"Impossible!" Speaking of Mrs. Liu, she cut the nail and cut the railway: "the things from Jixiang building can't be of this quality. You are all regular visitors of Jixiang building, and you will know it when you try." Mrs. Liu raised her head to the lady beside her. The ladies touched each other and nodded.
Confirmed Mrs. Liu's words.
Ji shuran frowned. She looked at Jiang Li and suddenly found that from the beginning to the present, the cracks on the gem's head had been found. Whether it was people's criticism or strange eyes, Jiang Li was not impatient in the face of these.
Jiang Li was puzzled, confused, regretful, and sorry, but there was no panic, anger, helplessness, and despair.
Even now, Jiang Li still has a gentle smile on her mouth, just like her at first.
When is it? Why are you laughing? What's funny?
Ji shuran thought, feeling more and more wrong in her heart. Subconsciously, she saw Jiang Li look down at the people on the ground, and looked with Jiang Li's eyes, and found that Xiang Qiao on the ground was kneeling, but it seemed that she was going to collapse to the ground.
Xiang Qiao is shaking.
Jiang Li squatted down and reached out to help Xiangqiao. Her eyes looking at Xiangqiao were kind and gentle, and her tone was as kind as before.
She said, "Xiangqiao, did you steal my head?"
"No, No." Xiangqiao insisted, "the maid didn't do this."
"That's strange." Jiang Li murmured with a little puzzled, "since you said you saw the ruby head I carved with a knife, but now it's clear that the head has been changed. Did you see... Ghost?"
Jiang Li said the last two words very softly, but she felt gloomy and ghostly in Xiang Qiao's ears.
"Third sister, you said Xiangqiao took your head, but is there evidence?" Jiang yu'e's unwilling way.
"Evidence?" Jiang Li stood up again and smiled at Ji shuran, "as the mother of the big room, please send someone to the Xiangqiao room immediately to search for the whereabouts of the ruby head. All the ladies and sisters are here, just as a witness. After the provincial Jiang Li proved herself innocent, she will be charged for nothing."
The guests felt guilty when hearing the speech.
Jiang Li's words, however, accused them of placing themselves in a high position while staying out of the play just now, and took Jiang Li as the initiator.
Ji shuran smiled and clenched her teeth. She was not stupid. She knew that today's calculation of Jiang Li was fruitless. She was surprised that Jiang Li was able to attack later. A person who had no contacts and no money in the Jiang family had the ability to turn over. But she was afraid of Jiang Li and the next move, and subconsciously looked at Xiangqiao.
When she heard that Jiang Li was going to ask for a room search, Xiang Qiao suddenly breathed a sigh of relief, and fell into Ji shuran's eyes, and her heart instantly had a dispute. Knowing that Jiang Li probably couldn't find anything, he assigned several people to search Xiangqiao's room as expected.
The whole main court was quiet again.
Jiang Yuanbai finally returned at this time, feeling that he seemed to have done something wrong. He looked at Jiang Li and saw his daughter standing not far from Jiang Youyao. Jiang Youyao's clothes were exquisite and her hairpin was gorgeous, but Jiang Li's plain clothes were simple. If it weren't for her elegant appearance and dress alone, she was really as inconspicuous as a servant girl.
Jiang yuanburton felt a little uncomfortable again.
Jiang Yuanbai has a good face and protects his shortcomings. Even if he hates and annoys Jiang Li, he doesn't want Jiang Li to damage the face of the Jiang mansion in front of guests. Moreover, at this moment, the facts proved that there was something strange about the head, and Jiang Yuanbai felt whether he had just spoken too heavily to Jiang Li.
What are they thinking? Jiang Yuanbai's regret, Ji shuran's disappointment, Jiang Youyao's disappointment, Jiang Li didn't take it to heart at all. She stood in the atrium, staring at Xiang Qiao, who was trying to calm down with great interest, and suddenly wanted to laugh.
Ji shuran and Jiang Youyao had known for a long time what they were up to, but what she had to do was not just to prove her innocence.
People are harmless to tigers, but tigers hurt people. Ji shuran's people staying in fangfeiyuan is always a disaster. She has learned a lesson from her tragic experience in her previous life, preventing the slightest and eliminating the root cause.
After a while, the people sent to search Xiangqiao's room came back. In order to show fairness, old lady Jiang also assigned Mammy to go with her.
Mammy Zhang led people back to Mrs. Jiang, glanced at Xiangqiao on the ground and said, "Madam Hui, I found a ruby head from Xiangqiao's room. There were no knife marks. It should be true."
Xiangqiao's body softened and murmured, "impossible."
Jiang Youyao was also stunned. Ji shuran's scalp tightened when she saw Jiang Li's smile getting bigger.
Sure enough, Mammy Zhang hesitated for a moment and said in front of all the guests, "the slaves also found a lot of valuable jewelry in Xiangqiao's room, which should be a gift from the long wife to the second young lady."
Jiang Li was surprised for a moment. For the first time, there was anger in her voice. However, the anger listened carefully, as if it had been ridiculed again.
She said, "it turns out that Xiangqiao is greedy for treasure and blames others!"
