Xi Jiu Er was not dressed very well today, and there were very few accessories. Although bringing two servant girls along did not mean anything, looking at the set of Headwear on her table, it was at least a thousand gold, it was impossible to buy them without money. She probably liked it too much, so she decided to steal it because she couldn't afford it.
This was truly shameful. Since he couldn't afford it, he didn't want to come. He was truly shameless.
The moment Xi Jiu Er came out from the step shake's sleeve, she already knew what had happened and immediately understood the scheme between Xi Wan Rong and Phoebe. What surprised her was that Xi Jiu Er knew Miss Zheng? Or did they collude to do a play with her?
Xi Jiu Er stared at Phoebe with a fake smile. Phoebe was not Wang Ma, Wang Ma had many rules, but Phoebe was someone who didn't care about face. She calmly met Xi Jiu Er's eyes, as if she could see through everything under those eyes.
"Phoebe, why don't you put it in my sleeve?" Xi Jiu Er did not panic in the slightest under everyone's gaze, and instead became even calmer.
"Miss, you, what did you say? This old servant has never done it before, it's you, Miss … " Phoebe had a wronged expression: "Miss, this old servant has never done this, why did you push this matter to this old servant? This was obviously dropped by the Miss … Miss dares to wrongly accuse this old servant, this old servant is truly disappointed. "
Of course, Liu Xiang knew that her Miss would not do such things. Seeing Xi Jiu Er aim her spear at his Phoebe, she immediately knew that his Phoebe must have found out about her mischief, so she said: "Phoebe, what kind of person is your Miss that you still need to steal? This is what we came here to see. Why would we do such a thing? It's what you did, what kind of mind did you have? "
Phoebe already knew that Xi Jiu Er was not easy to deal with, but she never expected her to be so calm, the people around her had already started discussing, but she acted as if she did not hear it, if it was any other Miss, they would already be crying in shame and anger. She felt wronged: "This old servant doesn't know what Miss is thinking either, maybe... I haven't brought enough silver today, right … "
With a "pa" sound, the angry Liu Xiang threw the silver from her bosom onto the table and cursed: "Look carefully, here is two thousand gold. Is the money needed to buy this Headwear not enough?"
Heavens, a maid has so much silver on his! Since he had so much money, he probably wouldn't do such a petty trick! The discussions had changed, the blame was already placed on the Phoebe. Sometimes, there were servants who were greedy, but that greed was too strong, even their masters were framed, this was not justified.
Phoebe went on to say: "Miss, there are some things that this old servant originally did not want to say, but to wrongly accuse this old servant like that really makes my heart feel cold! "You've kicked this silver many times already. It's always this way. Don't let this old servant talk back when you find out. This old servant is really …"
As expected of the Phoebe, to think of a way to escape in such a short time, the originally astonished crowd had regained their contempt, and the way they looked at Xi Jiu Er had completely changed.
Yin Huan did not know who she should listen to, since she had already found the item, it was not related to her much, but in the end, what happened in the shop, it was better to call the shopkeeper to take care of it.
"Yin Huan is just a servant, go and get the shopkeeper to judge!" Yin Huan went to look for the shopkeeper. Phoebe went to grab hold of Yin Huan and said, "Miss Yin Huan, since you have found the thing, don't look for the shopkeeper anymore … "Here is some silver taels, how about you keep it and pretend nothing happened?"
Phoebe's words were hilarious, with so many people looking at her, she wanted to settle this matter peacefully? However, Xi Jiu Er said resolutely: "Miss Yin Huan, find the shopkeeper and let her judge this for me. As the saying goes, a straight body is not afraid of slanting shadows. Since I have never done it before, I will not be afraid! "
"Miss, if Master finds out about this, he will definitely be angry." The Phoebe was worried.
"Heh heh, why did the Phoebe convict me so quickly? I didn't do anything! " Xi Jiu Er slightly smiled and said: "There are a few people with malicious intents that actually used such a despicable method to frame me. I definitely won't let her off easy."
When the Phoebe heard this, he became terrified. Did he really do something wrong? Impossible! Phoebe stabilized his mind.
The commotion over here had already alarmed the shopkeeper. Sigh, endless things happened every day, it really gave her a headache: "Miss Zheng, wait a moment, I'll be back soon."
"I'll go with you." The Miss Zheng asked curiously. When Miss Zheng saw the things that she had set her eyes on on on on Xi Jiu Er's table, her expression immediately turned ugly. "You're stealing something? It's really too disgusting. "
Xi Jiu Er said indifferently: "Miss Zheng, you are a daughter of a noble family, it's best to be cautious with your words. Before you understand the situation, I advise you not to speak such nonsense."
Miss Zheng's face burned with anger after being treated in front of so many people, and immediately countered, "Do you still want to deny that there's evidence and evidence? You don't have the money to buy it, so you just have to do it yourself. "
Xi Jiu Er still sat there unperturbed, her emotions not fluctuating in the slightest. To outsiders, Xi Jiu Er's actions had garnered a lot of good impressions! Where in the world would there be people who weren't afraid of anything when they did something shameful? Unless she's too thick-skinned... However, from the looks of it, she was not an uneducated girl.
Could it really have been done by that old woman's servant? When the time comes, he would bite back? It wasn't impossible, but what could possibly happen in this compound? The two servants she brought were clearly not on the same side, they were at odds!
Mother Fu said: "This Miss Zheng, this is a matter of our Xi Family, we will naturally tell the shopkeeper about it." The underlying meaning of his words was that no need for him to speak any more nonsense. It had nothing to do with him at all. If he had nothing to do with him, why would he bring him along?
Xi Jiu Er raised her eyebrows, the Phoebe obviously wanted to attract the Miss Zheng to hate him. As expected, the Miss Zheng disdainfully said: "What kind of Miss has what kind of servant it is! "Since I've met him today, of course I can't ignore him!"
This time, the shopkeeper had come, and the shopkeeper had asked Yin Huan what had happened. Yin Huan explained the situation in detail, but did not add in any words.
"Presumably, this Madame belongs to the shopkeeper here. I was about to ask the shopkeeper, for the people in your shop to slander customers for stealing without any proof, how are you going to punish them recently?" Xi Jiu Er said leisurely.
Everyone was stunned by this statement as they all looked at Xi Jiu Er as if she was looking at a monster: Isn't this woman's skin too thick? Just now, I clearly saw her falling out of her sleeves and even the servants here could testify, but she just didn't admit it.
"Aiya, isn't this Miss's Miss?"
"Eh, it really is him!"
"Sigh, I didn't expect the Xi Family s of the Xi Family to be like this …" This what? This Miss didn't say it, but the rumors were not good for Xi Wan Rong and Xi Wan Feng. They all said the same thing, and they were probably all the same kind of people.
"I really couldn't tell …" Xi Family is actually this poor? "
"Nonsense, didn't you see how good Xi Family's Medicinal Herb Shop is? Do you still need this little money?"
"I guess so."
"Maybe after the death of Miss, he would live a short life, which was why he had the idea of stealing from me!"
The shopkeeper also recognized the famous Madame, he was familiar with all the big families in the capital. She carefully sized Xi Jiu Er up, the clothes and accessories were all excellent, and the headdress and step shake were all high grade … [It seems like they don't have any money. How could they do such a thing?]
When the shopkeeper heard Xi Jiu Er question him, and heard that Xi Jiu Er still doubted the conduct of the servant in the shop, he was unhappy. Although the Xi Family did not say that it was big or small, the shopkeeper still looked down on it. Today, so many people had seen everything clearly, yet this Miss did not admit to stealing, and even said such a thing!
"This Miss, so many people have seen the step shake fall out of your sleeve, do you still want to deny it?" The manager started getting impolite as well.
Xi Jiu Er smiled faintly: "Sometimes what I see might not be true. The shopkeeper definitely doesn't know that there is a type of person in this world who can steal things in the blink of an eye.
Yo, you can even come up with such nonsense. The disdain in everyone's eyes deepened. Some of them were just watching the show while others were just looking down on it … The shopkeeper, no matter how cultured he was, was grinded away by Xi Jiu Er, and spoke with an unfriendly tone: "I originally wanted to erase this matter, it seems like this Miss doesn't want to. I actually want to ask this Miss if the step shake was in the box when Yin Huan gave the piece of jewelry to you. "
"Yes." Xi Jiu Er admitted it openly.
The shopkeeper nodded: "Then, when Yin Huan came to collect them previously, did she not have any step shake left?"
"Yes sir!" Xi Jiu Er smiled faintly.
The shopkeeper raised his brows and laughed: "Did it fall out of Miss's sleeve?"
"Yes." Xi Jiu Er smiled calmly.
"Then it's finished, this thing was stolen by you." Miss Zheng insisted.
Xi Jiu Er smiled lightly and said to the shopkeeper: "Shopkeeper, some things aren't as simple as what we have seen."
The shopkeeper was a knowledgeable person in the end and raised his eyebrows lightly: "Since Miss says so, and since you say that this step shake is not something Miss is capable of, then I ask Miss to give me a reasonable explanation."
