Looking at the box in Song Yao's hands, although Zhou Miao was a little confused, she still understood what Song Yao meant.
When she reached out to grab the box, Song Yao unexpectedly hesitated for a moment. When Zhou Miao saw her grabbing onto the box, she asked in puzzlement: "What's wrong?"
She had not finished speaking when Zhou Miao took the box and opened it. She then heard Peony say: "This … What was going on? Where did you get these beads? "
She picked up one of the boxes and looked at it for a long time. "This is mine," she said. "How did you get this? Song Yao! Just tell me clearly, what exactly is going on? "
Zhou Miao saw that she was extremely excited, and immediately consoled her: "Miss Peony, do not be anxious, Miss Song was just about to say what happened? Why is it with her? She will probably explain it clearly, so why are you so excited? "
"What are you saying? Try to feel like a suspect! I... I told you that I didn't do anything, why would I … Why are you all bullying me! "
Song Yao did not expect her to suddenly become so weak. She was stupefied for a moment and anxiously said: "I'm sorry, I'm sorry, it's my fault, I shouldn't have scared you, don't cry like this, I'll die of guilt if you do."
She was the least adept at comforting others. In a moment of anxiety, she didn't know what to say, so she simply started babbling nonsense.
Zhou Miao hurriedly took over the conversation: "It's like this, I just saw it, indeed, Miss Peony and one of them should be a pair, with the same material, and the shape and the other being slightly different, it would be difficult for someone who doesn't know jade to see through it, looks like the person who gave you the earring either wants to frame Miss Peony, or is trying to mislead you into taking a detour."
Song Yao nodded. "I know, but..."
"What?" Zhou Miao asked.
Song Yao looked at Peony, then turned to Zhou Miao and said, "OP said, these earrings were given to every girl during the Courtesan Belle selection competition. They shouldn't be made out of the same material as Peony, right?"
"Impossible!" Peony suddenly blurted out.
Song Yao looked at her, waiting for her explanation.
Peony hesitated for a moment before replying. "I've never had a memory. In fact, I lost my pair before the earrings even appeared."
"Other than Begonia, everyone else in the building is the same, because Begonia doesn't like golden earrings. At that time, she would also be a popular figure in the industry, and relying on Jun Gongzi and his favor, she would be treated like a treasure by the OP. "Why would it be special to me?"
After pausing for a while, she continued, "Since I lost my earrings, I'm afraid that the Tower Lord will blame me. After all, I'm someone who often hang around in front of the Tower Lord, so I can't compare to other girls." She mumbled to herself, her voice filled with unwillingness and loneliness, stopping for a moment, she then continued, "I'm afraid that the Tower Lord will kick me out.
So, in order to not let the Tower Lord find out and accidentally find out that she doesn't understand jade, I made a pair for myself. I don't have much private money, so I can only make a rough estimate.
"Therefore, my item is mine. There is no way I can make a mistake."
After hearing it, Song Yao suddenly understood, and muttered: "So that's how it is, but why didn't you notice it this time?"
Peony replied, "It's been a long time since I've worn these earrings. I didn't even know I'd lost them. I just received a notification to wear them right away. Where did I get them from? So this is it."
"So that's how it is." Zhou Miao also said, then asked Song Yao: "Then it's very obvious, the person who gave you the pendant might have stolen Peony's pendant and intentionally given it to you, to prevent you from suspecting her."
Just as Song Yao was about to nod her head, she heard Peony huff: "Who is it!? Why would she do that? How did I provoke her? Why did you set me up like this!? "
Song Yao walked over and patted her shoulder: "Don't be too excited yet, I can't tell you who this person is yet, because I still need you to help me put on another act. At that time, you'll naturally know who it is.
"Are you sure?" Without waiting for Song Yao's answer, she asked again: "Can I trust you?"
Song Yao nodded her head firmly, "Don't worry, I did not save Big Sister Feng because she is a Big Sister Feng. Now that I have roughly understood the truth, and know that you are innocent, I definitely won't let you continue to take the blame. "
Zhou Miao also said: "Don't worry, since we managed to bring you here, we are here to find out the truth. Don't worry, we will definitely give you justice."
Peony relaxed. "What do you want me to do?"
Song Yao looked at Zhou Miao, and then the three of them gathered together to discuss the plan.
Peony expressed that he understood, in order to express his apology, Song Yao had asked Hong Yan to take peony to kill time, and would only return when it was time.
Peony left their line of sight, Song Yao sighed: "Miss Zhou, you are very powerful, I only told you about it on the way here, and you understood it so clearly."
Zhou Miao replied politely: "Miss Song is too serious, the main thing is that Miss Song's words are very concise, they have details, they are light and heavy, I'm afraid everyone can understand them."
She poured a cup of tea for Song Yao and said: "Just that, I want to ask you, what's the motive? After all, from what you're saying, these two don't seem to be related. "
Song Yao was silent for a moment, "It's just a guess, I sent Xie Yang to look it up, but I don't know if it's like that or not. After all, she is too similar to the Jun Gongzi that I mentioned before."
"Oh, oh, so it's like that." Zhou Miao drank some tea, then said: "You don't look too happy, what's wrong?"
Song Yao said dejectedly: "I thought she was a good person, but I have almost confirmed that she is a friend. She didn't expect that she would cause so much harm to the Big Sister Feng and now that she had hurt Peony, why did she drag so many innocent people over? "If she did it, then so be it. Admitting that I can still care for her a little, yet harming others in such a way, truly makes my mood complex."
Zhou Miao sighed, "It seems that your evaluation of her is very high, and she should be a decent person, right? "What could be the reason?"
Song Yao also sighed, and said with extreme helplessness: "What can a man and a woman do? The word 'love' has always been misleading. "
