C592 What to do (1/2)

”You must find this jade pendant for me, it belongs to His Highness, it is the most important thing, you must not lose it.” Lian Shiya said as she sat on a chair in the middle of the store.

However, after a careful search, they could not find the jade pendant that Lian Shiya mentioned.

However, Lian Shiya insisted that the jade pendant was lost here and even called her maidservant to testify that it was indeed the pendant that had been thrown in.

She said angrily, ”This clothing shop in the west of the capital is a famous place in the capital. I never thought that I would not be able to find a jade pendant here today! It seems like there must have been a thief who stole it when I wasn't paying attention. I was here all along and didn't see anyone go out. The thief who stole the jade pendant must still be in the shop.

Lian Shiya had just finished speaking when a few guards walked in with sabers in their hands and were about to search the store.

”Wait!” Molina raised her voice, ”Madam, you said that your jade pendant is missing, so we left the work in our hands to search for it. Now that we have not found the jade pendant, you said that there is a thief in my shop and you still have to search us.

Every word from Mo Liniang was very polite, but she did not step back.

Lian Shiya's face sank as she said, ”Boss Mo, what do you mean by this? Could it be that you're saying that I'm falsely accusing you?”

”How could I dare? It's just that, in the absence of any evidence, the search will be conducted. It would be inappropriate under the law and etiquette. Madam, do you agree?” Mo Liniang smiled.

Lian Shiya knitted her brows as she thought to herself, ”Where did the Ninth Prince and a small shopkeeper in Lian Ruyue's store get so much confidence that he would remain calm even in the face of her men?”

”My jade pendant has been lost. Search is a must. If Boss Mo has any objections, you should wait for my men to finish their search first!”

Lian Shiya gave the order and the guards were about to charge in.

As Feng Lingyue, who was hiding in a secret room on the second floor, heard this, her heart rose to her throat. Her hand gripped the door frame tightly as she looked around, wondering what she should do if someone broke in to search.

She ran to the window of the street and looked down. There was no one there.

Bang Bang Bang...

At that moment, she heard hurried footsteps downstairs again.

She gritted her teeth and pushed at the window.

”How about this, Madam, since you said that you lost the jade pendant, I promise that I will dig a hole for you.” How about this, Madam, you said that you lost the jade pendant, and I promise that I will dig a hole for you. Downstairs, Mo Liniang ordered some guards to stop them and asked for Lian Shiya's opinion with a tone of discussion.

”No way!” In her mind, she thought about how she should be searched. At this time, a person dressed as a maid walked over from where she had just changed clothes. Lian Shiya instantly thought of something, pointed at the maid, and said:

”It's her!” I remember! When I was changing my clothes, this servant was standing by my side. I remember that she even touched my clothes and now, she has a sneaky look on her face. She must have definitely stolen the jade pendant! ”
