Golden step-shaking ornament!

Lu Meimei realized it belatedly and touched the hairpin on her bun, looking very proud.

"This was given to me by my husband."

"Oh, really! Madam Zhao, if I remember correctly, there is also such a golden hairpin in my dowry list."

Yun was stirring the tea foam in the covered bowl from time to time, looking at the golden hairpin, and speaking slowly.

When Nanny Zhao heard what Yun said, she took two steps forward and carefully observed the golden hairpin.

"No wonder this hairpin looked familiar to me just now. As expected, it is very similar to my young lady's dowry. Madam Lu, can you take it off and let me take a closer look?"

Lu Meimei's face changed slightly. She covered her hairpin and took a few steps back. "In broad daylight, you said it was yours. What evidence do you have? You old man, don't make up stories and accuse people."

She pretended to be calm on the surface, but she was panicking inside. The golden hairpin was given to her by Xiahou Wenyuan, and it was hard to say whether Xiahou Wenyuan secretly took Yun's dowry.

It's so devastating. Dalang has repeatedly warned her to be low-key and patient, but she still wears it to annoy the Yun family. This is bad.

If it was really her dowry, it would be such an embarrassment to her grandmother.

"Madam Lu, I am just taking a look. Why are you so nervous? Is it...ah, no, I mean if it is not the case, I will kowtow to you and apologize."

Nanny Zhao said nothing, yet it seemed as if she had said everything.

"Kneel down and apologize? Who the hell are you, a slave? You are not worthy of touching my things..."

Lu Meimei spoke sternly to give herself courage.

"Pah--"

A loud bang interrupted Lu Meimei's words. Yun raised her eyebrows and slammed the teacup on the coffee table.

The mistress of the Marquis's mansion for twenty years was not in vain. Yun's aura was terrifyingly strong.

Humph, she is rebellious. Scolding her wet nurse is actually scolding her. How can she tolerate this?

Lu Meimei was shocked by Yun's aura. While she was distracted, Madam Zhao pulled out the hairpin, took a closer look, and reported to Yun.

"Miss, this golden phoenix is ​​exactly what is on your dowry list, that's right."

"Nonsense!" Lu Meimei yelled out of control, "Old man, stop slandering me. What evidence do you have to prove that the hairpin is hers?"

"Evidence! Of course there is." Yun said in a deep voice, "My dowry was stolen, and it was inexplicably blamed on you. Tell me, did you steal my dowry?"

"I don't have it. Please give it back to me, or I will sue the authorities."

"Sue the authorities? Great, I'll ask the Jingzhao prefect to investigate my stolen dowry."

Yun's tone became colder and colder, and Lu Meimei suddenly realized, "Oh my god, I've fallen into a trap."

She felt a little guilty and said, "I don't want it anymore. I'll just treat it as sending away a beggar. Come on, let's go."

But just as he took a step forward, his wrist was grabbed by Madam Zhao, "You want to leave? It's not that easy. You'd better follow me to the Jingzhao Yin and explain yourself to the Yin for stealing my young lady's dowry."

"No, no, no, I won't report it to the police. I'll just leave. Isn't it okay for me to leave?"

Lu Meimei tried hard to pull her wrist free, but Madam Zhao's grip was so strong that Lu Meimei's wrist turned red, but it didn't move at all.

"It's too late. The matter has already been reported to the Jingzhao Yin." Yun's words shattered Lu Meimei's fantasy.

"Hey, what's going on? It's so noisy."

The people who were just drawing the lottery have been attracted by this new melon.

"Oh, it seems that the wife of the Loyal Marquis's dowry was stolen, and the thief was caught."

"Really? Who is this thief? How dare he steal the dowry of the Marquis' wife?"

"Look, that's the one. It seems like he's been caught red-handed." A bystander pointed at Lu Meimei. She had just won a silver hairpin and was in a very good mood. She had been watching the whole incident for a long time.

Lu Meimei's face turned purple, and her hair fell down a little after her hairpin was forcibly taken off. She looked messy and sloppy, completely losing the sophistication and arrogance she had when she first entered the store.

She didn't expect that in just a short while, she would be watched and criticized by so many people. She didn't care about her dignity anymore and defended herself at the top of her voice.

"No, no, I'm not a thief. No, it's her. She wronged me. I'm not a thief, she is..."

But Yun didn't even look at her. Her dignified and elegant demeanor made people sigh that this was what the mistress of a marquis's mansion should be like.

A person like this, could he be a thief? What a joke.

"Oh my, this thief is so shameless to bite people randomly." The onlookers continued to complain.

"That's right. This thief? And he's dressed so fancy? Such good material is wasted."

"Well, a thief wouldn't carve words on his face. Look, the officers from Jingzhao Yinfu are here to arrest someone."

Sure enough, a neat team of officials headed straight to Linglong Pavilion.

The arresting officers were efficient and quick, and in no time they took Lu Meimei away.

Lu Meimei cursed for a long time like a shrew, but not only did no one sympathize with her, but she was met with endless ridicule and mockery.

When she saw the police coming, she knew that she was powerless to save the situation, so she helplessly winked at her maid and asked her to carry Xiahou Zixuan and go back to report the news.

As the victim and the original reporter, Yun was also invited to the government office. As for the spectators, there was something exciting to watch, so they followed in droves to continue watching.

Before leaving, Xiahou Zixuan glanced at Yun, which made Yun feel completely chilled.

Yun thought to himself: This is the concubine I adopted in Huahua's heart. Looking at her eyes, she doesn't have the innocence and kindness of a child at all. Instead, she is full of viciousness and calculation like an adult. Uh... so scary.

Jingzhao Yin Mansion.

Lord He of Jingzhao Yinfu had just gotten some free time that day and hadn't even had half a cup of tea when a case came to his door. He had to tidy up his things and go to court.

"Who is here in the hall? What's the matter with all the noise?" Lord He sat upright in the hall of Jingzhao Yin and spoke as usual.

Yun was standing at the side. She bowed slightly and said gently.

"Your Excellency, I am the mistress of the Marquis of Loyalty Mansion. I recently counted my dowry and found that it was much shorter. Coincidentally, I went to Linglong Pavilion Silver Shop today and saw the golden hairpin that this person wore. It was exactly the same as the one I stole. I took it away from him and checked it. It was indeed one of my stolen dowry.

I would like to ask you to investigate and help me recover the stolen dowry."

"Oh, it turns out to be the mistress of the Marquis' Mansion. Someone, please show the Marquis's wife a seat." Lord He learned that it was the mistress of the Marquis of Loyalty and Righteousness, and after listening to Yun's statement, he gave her a seat.

After all, he is a disciple of Master Yun's disciple, so of course he has to show respect and care to the Yun family.

"Sir, I am innocent, I am innocent! I am not a thief, that hairpin originally belonged to me. It was her who wronged me, quickly punish her for the crime of witchcraft."

Lu Meimei's hair became even more messy, like a mad woman. In her haste, she spoke without thinking.

"You bold and crazy woman, I don't need you to teach me how to do things!" Lord He was angry and slammed the gavel hard.

Lu Meimei was frightened for a moment, and her rationality gradually returned a little.

"I dare not. I just ask you to be fair. Besides, Yun, what evidence do you have to say that the hairpin is yours?"
