Chapter 37 Missing Hairpin I (2/2)

Xiaocui smiled as she received the moneybag from Meixue, ”Thank you very much, Madam.”

her originally cold expression immediately grew a bit kinder, ”Yan'er, you've come. Quick, come sit next to grandmother.”

Not only did Ning Siyao and Chai Yiyun found it unpleasant when they saw this, even the other children felt extremely irritated.

When Ning Siyao thought of what happened a few days ago, her gaze towards her was terribly vicious, but Qingyan seems to have completely disregarded her gaze.

”Yan'er, why are you wearing such a plain hairpin today?” Su Jiashi worryingly asked as she looked to the hairpin in Qingyan's hair. ”Did you not get issued new accessories?”

Qingyan looked to Su Jiashi and said with difficulty, ”This morning, Yan'er had planned to wear the hairpin that was mother's dowry, but who would have thought that the hairpin went missing. I have yet to find it all morning.”

”How could you be so careless?” Su Jiashi looked to Qingyan and helplessly shook her head. ”Did a thief come and steal it?” She nodded as she said this.

Qingyan glanced to Chai Yiyun, before turning her gaze back towards Su Jiashi, ”That's right, a thief must have came and stolen Yan'er's hairpin.”

”Who is that thief? To dare steal something from our manor. I sure want to know just who in the world would have the nerve to steal something from a General's manor!” Su Jiashi heavily struck her cane as she said this.

Chai Yiyun looked to the hairpin on Qingwen's head, and glanced again at the pitiful looking Qingyan. She quietly thought to herself: not good.
