Chapter 24: Whats meant to come will always come

  He Lean was packing things in the wing room, when He Shi and Shao Yingxiu suddenly pushed open the door and came in. Shao Yingxiu said indignantly: "He Lean, the emerald cuff I put in my grandfathers house is gone! Could it be that you were jealous of me getting a gift from Old Lady Xue while you didnt, so you secretly took it?"

  "I dont have it." He Lan said calmly.

  Hes family heavily hummed: "That is what a precious thing, not you this lowly concubine can have, if you now return to Xiuer, I can pretend nothing has happened, otherwise dont blame me this big aunt merciless, will take you to He old lady face questioning punishment."

  She said so, Shao Yingxiu didnt give He Lean a chance to react, and waved her hand at the maid: "Come on, go in and search!"

  He Lean didnt bring many things with her in the first place, and after the maids searched high and low, turning everything upside down, they finally went to the bedside and turned over the bedding, but still couldnt find any sign of the Cui Yu bracelet. Shao Yingxius personal maid rushed to her side, lowering her voice and saying, "Miss, its not here."

  "How is this possible!" Shao Yingxiu exclaimed involuntarily.

  He glared at his maid and glanced at the package in He Leans hand, saying: "I bet its hidden on you."

  Shao Yingxiu rushed over and snatched He Leans package, spreading it out on the table and rummaging through it frantically. Seeing that it was still not there, she glared at He Lean: "He Lean, Im giving you one more chance. Take out the jade bangle, and this matter will be settled."

  She had repeatedly reminded Yao Momo to put the emerald bangle under the pillow, and her person was certain that He Lean had not returned to the room before. Even if he had just discovered it, there shouldnt have been enough time to dispose of it. So where was her package in the room? That was a token given by Old Lady Xue, she absolutely couldnt lose it!

  He Lean expressionlessly said: "I didnt take any of your bracelets." It was you who voluntarily gave them to me, and I just threw them away to be burned.

  He Shi also noticed something was off and sneered, "Since youve repeatedly said you didnt take it, Im sure you wont mind if we search your body." She signaled to the servants beside her to take action.

  At this time, a middle-aged womans voice with some marks of years and vicissitudes, full of surprise and incomprehension, said: "Whats going on?"

  He saw Cai Momo, accompanied by two pretty maidservants and carrying two exquisite food boxes, standing in front of Old Lady He. She immediately said: "Cai Momo has arrived just in time, Sixth Sister is not clean-handed at the Bo Mansion, she took Xiuers jade bangle and doesnt even admit it!"

  "Perhaps Mrs. Shao has misunderstood, Sixth Miss never lacks these things." Cai Moumou said with a frown.

  Shao Yingxiu said: "Cai Momo doesnt know, the bracelet I lost was a gift from Mrs. Xue of the Jin Ninghou Mansion. On that day, when we went to the Jin Ninghou Mansion and returned in the carriage, Old Lady He handed it over to me. Anan didnt have it. If she took it out of curiosity for a while, as long as she returns it now, well consider nothing happened."

  "I said, I didnt take your bracelet," He Lian said. "Youve searched my room and packages, and you can search me thoroughly too, but if its still not found, then Big Aunt and Xiu Er will have to apologize to me."

  "Go to the Houfu of Jin Ning together, Xiuer gets gifts, but you dont. Its not that youre jealous and secretly took it away. In this mansion, which servant would dare to covet the masters things!" He Shi sneered coldly, "When you didnt come to our mansion, such a thing never happened in the mansion!" She waved her hand, and Momo beside her walked towards He Lean again.
