A slight smile appeared on the woman's face as she softly said, ”Eldest madam, just now, this young maid, Peony, accused Third Miss of a one-sided matter. You all believed it. Why can't you believe a one-sided matter about Yu Zhu?”

”...” ”Ai …” At this time, Lian Meng Yue sighed deeply as a look of pity appeared in her eyes. She said, ”Aunt Xiao, Third Sister, Yu Zhu is just a pitiful maid with a poor family background. I pitied her for being so lonely that day so I gave her some silver taels as a family allowance.

”Eldest Miss, what do you mean by that? We don't have any dealings with Jade Bamboo. ” When Aunt Xiao heard this, she immediately straightened her back. She didn't believe it …

”Big Sis, are you saying that we should lie in front of Father? How could a lowly maidservant like Yu Zhu dare to do such a thing? Your ability to turn black into white will not work this time. ” Even Shiya said excitedly when she heard this.

”…” Lian Xiyue shook her head, her eyes revealing a trace of sadness. ”I originally wanted to just let Third Sister and Aunt Xiao receive the appropriate punishment for the matter with the White Fox, but I didn't think that you would scheme this early on and let a maid frame me, separating father and I …”

”Eldest Miss …” Yu Zhu was startled. She looked at Lian Ruyue with frightened eyes. What did Eldest Miss mean?

”Men, go to my Celestial Lotus Courtyard and bring back the things that accidentally dropped in my courtyard when you came to thank me for the rain and jade bamboo.” Lian Ruyue slowly said to the maidservants outside.

What is it? Puzzled looks appeared in the eyes of the crowd. Auntie Xiao and Lian Shiya sneered at Lian Ruyue. Since things had come to this point, what tricks could she play?

Not long later, the door curtain opened. The maid, Liu Ming, walked in with something in her hands and placed it in Lian Xiyue's hands.

Lian Ruyue lightly sighed and said, ”When I discovered this secret that day, I was still thinking that this must have been a coincidence. Now it seems that isn't the case.”

”Yue Er, what is this?” the First Lady asked, and at the same time asked what everyone wanted to know.

Lian Ruyue raised this money bag in her hands and looked at Yu Zhu, asking, ”This money bag, is it yours?”

When Yu Zhu saw the lotus flower embroidered pouch, she was momentarily stunned. Her face paled slightly as she said with a trembling voice, ”It, it belongs to me.”

”That's right, this is yours, it's because you came to the Immortal Lotus Courtyard that day to express your gratitude, thanking me for giving you silver to subsidize your family, but before you left, you accidentally dropped a purse in my courtyard. You originally wanted to come back and retrieve your wallet, but I accidentally discovered the contents …”

As she spoke, Lian Ruyue took out the items from the bag. What came out was a few bronze coins and … A pair of heavy scarlet gold bracelets looked quite heavy.

Everyone was stunned. Why would this lowly maid carry such precious jewelry with her? Where did she get it from?

”What is this?” Lian Yanqing looked at the gold bracelet and asked solemnly.

And when Lian Shiya saw this gold bracelet, her expression immediately changed!

”Oh, Mother, do you remember? During last year's Chinese New Year, you took out many gold and silver items to give to your children as rewards. At that time, Shi Ya'er was very good with her, so you gave her this pair of bracelets. Mrs Liu looked at the bracelet and suddenly her eyes lit up as she shouted.
