As soon as Liu Mei saw Zhang's mother's expression, she knew that the matter was close, but she never expected that today's lotus appreciation feast was actually for her.

Whose idea was this? Shangguan Liuying or Xu family?

No matter who it is, the top priority is to protect Zhang’s mother. Over the years, Zhang’s mother has done many unknown things for her. If Zhang’s mother jumps over the wall in a hurry, she will probably end up very miserable.

"Mother Zhang, do you know this person?" Liu Mei said coldly.

"Old slave, I don't know him." Zhang's mother was sweating coldly, her eyes were wandering and she was hesitating when speaking.

Hearing this, Li Wanjin blew his beard and glared, "Mother Zhang, how can you say that? You have been coming to my pawn shop every day these past few days, and we have known each other for a long time." After saying this, he looked respectfully into the pavilion. , "If Madam doesn't believe it, you can call all the clerks in the villain's shop. They all know Mother Zhang."

"You...you are slanderous, and your assistants will naturally listen to you. I have never been to a pawn shop before, and I don't know you at all." Zhang's mother refused to admit that she knew this person, and she always had a trace of luck in her heart.

"You, you..." This was the first time Li Wanjin saw such a shameless person. He was so angry that he couldn't even speak.

Upon seeing this, Shangguan Liuying sneered in her heart and said in a deep voice, "Boss Li, did you hear that? Mother Zhang kept saying she didn't know you, but you actually dared to frame her up to go to your store to pawn fake goods. It shows that you are very courageous. "

Li Wanjin suddenly remembered something when he heard this. He took out a bundle from his arms and then said through gritted teeth, "The villain has brought all the jewelry. Although I don't know where Mother Zhang got it, but in the mansion I can definitely find out one or two things, and the eldest lady will know it once she checks."

"Lu Yi, go take a look." Liu Ying held the teacup as if she didn't care.

Lu Yi stepped forward and opened the bag. There were more than twenty pieces of jewelry in it. She took it out and looked at it carefully, then walked to Liu Ying and said, "Miss, these jewelry are all in the small warehouse..."

"Impossible," Liu Mei frowned and interrupted Lu Yi, "Didn't you hear what Boss Li said, these are all fakes. How could there be fakes in Liuying's small warehouse?"

"Aunt, you're too anxious. Let Lu Yi finish what she's saying." Liu Ying followed Lu Yi's words and said, "These jewelry do look exactly the same as those in the small warehouse, at least they look the same, but why? It’s all fake, this is very strange, Luyi, go and see if the jewelry in the small warehouse is still there.”

"Yes." Lu Yi turned around and prepared to go to the small warehouse.

Liu Mei said at this moment, "Hong Luan, you come and have a look too." She winked at Hong Luan, who immediately understood.

Liuying was very calm. She personally refilled the tea for Madam Liu and the eldest princess. Liwu said plainly, "Princess, Madam Liu, please have some tea. I've made you laugh today. I hope it won't affect your mood of admiring the lotus."

The eldest princess smiled when she heard this, "I am just an ignorant servant, but I am a little curious. Speaking of which, the lotus in the lotus pond is beautiful, but after all it is a dead thing. How can such things be interesting? .”

Mrs. Xu and Mrs. Liu smiled helplessly after hearing this. The eldest princess had grown up in the palace since she was a child. She had never seen any strange things. In other people's eyes, this kind of thing might just be a way to kill time. Just a fun fact.

Liu Mei was not in such a relaxed mood at the moment. She barely maintained a smile on her face, but her heart kept beating.

At this moment, she just hopes that Mother Zhang is not so stupid, otherwise...

Just when she was worried, both Lu Yi and Hong Luan came back, followed by Forsythia behind them. Hong Luan shook his head faintly at her, and Liu Mei's heart immediately sank to the bottom.

I heard Lu Yi speak in a clear voice, "My slave has already checked. A total of twenty-five pieces of jewelry are missing from the small warehouse. Twenty-three of them are exactly the same as the fakes here, and two of them are missing."

Liuying raised her eyebrows, "Is it really lost?"

Mother Zhang's face was as pale as paper. She knelt on the ground and shouted loudly, "I have something to say. I was wronged. It was all this girl Forsythia who did it. I have seen her with people in the child many times." The secret transaction at the door, although I don’t know who the person is, it is definitely not wrong..."

Liu Mei looked happy when she heard this, but she soon regained her composure. She asked sternly: "Are you serious? Mother Zhang, you have to know that if you continue to talk nonsense in this situation, I may not even be able to speak for you. do you understand?"

Mother Zhang became convinced when she saw Liu Mei's expression, and kept nodding her head, "I understand, what I said is true. Madam only needs to ask Zhang Dezi, who is guarding the door, and she will know."

Liu Mei's eyes became brighter and brighter, and she raised her voice and said, "Okay, someone, bring Zhang Dezi who is guarding the small door."

Forsythia was still kneeling on the ground and didn't even say a word to defend herself. Xu glanced at Liu Ying vaguely and found that Liu Ying still looked calm, and she felt much more at ease.

Zhang Dezi, who was guarding the small door, was soon brought in. He had been responsible for guarding the small door. He suddenly felt embarrassed when he saw so many noble people. "I have seen the eldest princess and all the noble people..."

"Okay," Liu Mei interrupted him impatiently and went straight to the point, "Zhang Dezi, let me ask you, have you seen outsiders at the small gate in the past few days? Or have outsiders come to see people in the mansion?"

Zhang Dezi looked at Liu Mei's expression and then at Zhang's mother beside him. He was confused at this moment, so he could only speak carefully, "In reply to Madam, I have never seen outsiders, let alone outsiders, even us People in the mansion rarely go to Xiaomen..."

"Impossible, you're talking nonsense," Zhang's mother interrupted him sharply, "I clearly saw Forsythia trading with people at the small gate these days, why did you say you didn't see it? Are you colluding with her? "

Zhang Dezi looked innocent, "Mother Zhang, how can you speak freely and accuse others? I really didn't see any outsiders. As for Miss Forsythia, she does come to Xiaomen often, but that's because..."

Forsythia sneered and interrupted Zhang Dezi's words. She looked at Zhang's mother coldly, "Because the young master planted a cherry tree near the xiaomeng, I will take care of it every day. I don't want to be accidentally killed." Zhang’s mother has misunderstood this much, which is really unexpected.”

Mother Zhang’s pupils were dilated and her face was ashen without a trace of blood. “It’s impossible, it’s impossible, I clearly heard you say...”

"Say?" Lianxiao rolled his eyes, "Mother Zhang, don't you take everything in the storybook seriously? I have been reading the storybook to the eldest lady these days. For this purpose, I read it myself first. I didn't expect this. Mother Zhang heard everything."

"The storybook?" Zhang's mother looked at Forsythia in disbelief, "It's actually the storybook..."

She probably never expected that everything she did was because of a storybook!

The light in Zhang's mother's eyes gradually went out...
