After the noble lady was reborn, the whole mansion begged her for forgiveness

"Catch the thief?"

The second lady opened her red lips slightly.

A fine wrinkle appeared inadvertently between her brows, and the worry was like a dewdrop in the morning mist, fleeting, but truly reflected in her deep eyes.

She secretly wondered in her heart, what kind of long-term planning was hidden behind Qin Suling's words, or was it just a simple duty?

"It is definitely the thief that was caught."

Qin Suling's voice was cold and firm, like a clear mountain spring without any impurities.

She sat down slowly, her eyes as deep as the night sky, able to see through all the hypocrisy and truth in the world, reaching the most secret corners of people's hearts.

She pretended not to notice the complicated look on the Second Madam's face, and continued calmly, "Yesterday, something unexpected happened in the needlework room, and six sets of carefully woven gorgeous clothes disappeared like ghosts. I have secretly set up a net, and the thief is under my control."

After she finished speaking, she paused slightly, and her sharp eyes swept over everyone present, finally landing on Jinlan and Nanny Wu.

The two looked at each other, and without saying anything, they understood each other's intentions. They then took the order and left, with an unquestionable decisiveness in their steps.

Outside the meeting room, Jin Lan looked around and saw that all the managers and servants were holding their breath. The air was filled with a tense and expectant atmosphere.

She cleared her throat, her voice clear and powerful: "Everyone, listen carefully. Something unexpected happened in the mansion last night. The theft of clothes is no small matter. Madam has vowed to track down the culprit and punish him severely. If anyone knows about it but does not report it, he will be severely punished; however, if anyone can provide clues to help Madam capture the real culprit, there will be a generous reward waiting for you!"

Once these words were spoken, it was like a stone thrown into a calm lake, causing ripples.

Everyone was whispering and talking, and all kinds of speculations and rumors were growing like weeds.

Some people wondered why their clothes were stolen for no reason.

What's more, some people linked this matter to rumors of spending cuts in the government, and the discussions were mixed with speculation and anxiety.

Nanny Du stood in the crowd, beads of sweat oozing from her forehead. As the owner of the sewing room, she knew very well that she was at the center of the storm.

Qin Suling's silence made her feel an inexplicable chill in her heart, as if some unknown secret was about to be revealed.

She clenched her fists, trying to maintain her outward composure, but her heart was in turmoil as she constantly weighed the pros and cons.

Just as she was falling into deep worry, the second lady's light footsteps broke the silence of the hall.

She walked into the hall, like a lotus blooming in spring, pure and elegant, yet with a majesty that could not be ignored.

Her voice was soft and magnetic, and every word was like a carefully carved jade, tentative yet indifferent: "Regarding the matter of clothing, what my niece-in-law said is indeed like looking at flowers in the fog, not very clear to me. But the peace in the mansion, how can we tolerate such a dirty thing?"

After she finished speaking, her slender eyes gently swept over the crowd, and her sharp gaze seemed to be able to penetrate people's hearts and see through everything.

Under her gaze, Madam Du felt her heart tighten, as if all her secrets were revealed.

She gritted her teeth secretly, forced herself to remain calm, and tried to find a glimmer of hope in this invisible battle.

Hearing this, Qin Suling's lips slowly bloomed into a soft and deep smile, that smile was like an orchid blooming gently in spring, not ostentatious, but with an indescribable power, enough to gently comfort the hearts of everyone present. She opened her red lips slightly, her voice was soft but with a firmness that could not be ignored: "Second Aunt, please don't worry too much, Jinlan has obeyed your orders, the truth will be revealed to everyone like the clouds are cleared and the sun is shining, nothing can hide." Her words not only revealed her deep respect for the elders, but also revealed her calmness and confidence as the mainstay of the family, as if everything was under control.

After that, Nanny Wu and Jin Lan looked at each other, and without saying anything more, they quietly left, leaving the room in silence, with subtle and complex emotions in the air. The atmosphere in the meeting room suddenly became solemn, as if it was the eve of a sudden storm in the summer afternoon, so depressing that it made people breathless. The maids and servants were whispering, talking to each other, or arguing loudly, with sparks flying between their words, but under this surface noise, no one dared to easily touch the real core of the undercurrent.

The second wife's eyes were as clear and deep as autumn water. She looked at Qin Suling carefully. There was a sharp scrutiny in her eyes, but also a hint of imperceptible praise. That praise seemed to be a sincere admiration for a flower that was more resilient in the wind and rain. However, this emotion was fleeting. She quickly adjusted her face and faced everyone with a gentle and loving attitude again, whispering softly: "Although you are doing this for the sake of the family, are you acting too hastily? If a small matter is infinitely magnified, it may not be the way for our family to live in harmony."

At this moment, Aunt Xu stepped into the meeting room. Her sneer was full of sarcasm and contempt, as if everything was within her expectations. When she turned around, her eyes flashed with a calculating light, and she had quietly made plans in her mind. A carefully planned "drama" was about to begin.

Soon, Qi Qiyuan was invited to the meeting room. He was dignified and imposing. The moment he stepped into the room, the originally noisy scene instantly returned to silence. This was his unique "prestige", enough to shock the whole audience. Seeing this, Qin Suling took a few steps forward and spoke sincerely and appropriately: "Aunt may not have seen through the twists and turns. Yesterday, Zhang Po agreed to sew clothes for the young lady, and something unexpected happened in the mansion. If this matter is not carefully investigated, it will be difficult to appease people's hearts, and it may even affect the family style passed down from generation to generation in our clan." Every word she said was powerful, which not only maintained the family's reputation, but also demonstrated the rigor and fairness of the management of servants.

Hearing this, the Second Lady slowly sat down, her posture dignified and elegant. She chose to wait and see how Qin Suling would strategize and untie this mess. On the other side, Jinlan brought good news that Zhang Po had been captured, and a storm was about to reach its climax.

When Zhang Po was brought to the meeting room, she suddenly woke up, her eyes wide open, like an enraged lioness, but when she saw that it was Jin Lan, her anger instantly turned into astonishment: "Miss Jin Lan? What...what are you doing?" She tried to hide her inner panic, but in her panic, she revealed many flaws and could no longer conceal them.

Jin Lan's face was stern, and she said lightly: "Take him to the conference room and wait for Madam's judgment." As soon as these words came out, Zhang Po completely understood that she had fallen into the trap and there was no possibility of escape.

In the meeting room, Zhang Po's roar seemed so weak and pale, and when Wu Ma showed the seized items one by one in front of everyone, the six sets of brand new clothes were like sharp blades, cutting through the curtain of lies and disguises. Wu Ma's voice echoed in the room, clear and powerful: "Madam, these were all found in Zhang Po's residence, and there are people in the same room who saw it with their own eyes and can testify." The kneeling and testimony of the old woman were like the last straw that broke the camel's back, making Zhang Po's defense seem so pale and powerless.

"How can tailor-made clothes be returned so easily?" Qin Suling spoke at the right time. As soon as these words came out, everyone was shocked. The rumors were refuted by themselves. The truth was finally revealed to everyone, like the sun shining through the clouds.
