C595 Look at that earring (1/2)
”This earring belongs to you. Go and check it out carefully to see who it belongs to.” Xiao Zhenhai handed the earring back to Lian Shiya and ordered.
”Yes, Uncle.” Lian Shiya took the earring.
Rou'er is pregnant, but the imperial physician said that she is weak and needs to stay in bed for six months. In these past few days, she is not to be bothered, and she cannot worry too much about the affairs of the house. Xiao Zhenhai warned.
”Uncle, don't worry. Ya'er will definitely not let anyone else enter while they're still empty. She will definitely protect and guard the backyard for Cousin Sister.” Lian Shiya lowered her head and looked down, but a faint smile appeared in the corner of her eyes. Xiao Rou's womb had given her the opportunity to control the Duke's Mansion, which could be considered a blessing in disguise.
Lian Shiya suddenly felt that she and Xiao Rou had the same feelings as the first wife and mother of the Xiao family. However, she wouldn't be so indecisive like her mother. Xiao Rou, a fool with a broken leg, would definitely not be able to win against her.
After she returned to her room, she opened her palm and looked at the earrings she had picked up.
This earring was not even the moon's preferred color and style. Furthermore, the materials and craftsmanship used to make it belonged to the upper echelons and was obviously not owned by an ordinary person. Even Boss Mo, Leng Mei and the maidservants in the clothing shop would not wear such luxurious accessories.
This earring was found by her in the second floor accounting office. It was an extremely important place and ordinary people wouldn't be able to enter. If she hadn't bit the bullet, she wouldn't have been able to enter.
”So, there's a high chance that the owner of this earring is someone very important to the West Beijing Merchant Shop. Besides the Second Boss, Yue Lao, what other women are important there?” Is this woman shamelessly involved with Lian Ruyue? ”
Lian Shiya stared at the earring and muttered.
”Madam, I've heard that the clothes of the clothing shop in Jingxi were only sold to those who were either rich or noble. The empress and princesses of the palace are all in a frenzy, could they have dropped this item?” Cheng Yu said from the side.
”Empress and Princess?” ”If it were the Empress and the Princess, they might have gone up to the second floor's office. His Highness and Uncle both said that there's a problem with the shop, and if we were able to find the owner of the earring and touch it along the vines, perhaps we might be able to find some evidence that might be harmful to Lian Rubing Moon.”
”But, in this boundless sea of people, how can we uncover this person?” The Orange embroidery was puzzled.
Lian Shiya raised her head and looked at her orange embroidered ears as she said, ”Come over.”
”Yes.” The orange embroidery went over.
Lian Shiya raised her hand and took off the earring on her left ear. Then she put on the one she picked up, causing Cheng Xiu to jump in fright as she said:
”Madam, this is …”
Lian Shiya said, ”I've thought it over and over again. There are so many rich people coming and going in and out of this clothing shop in the west of the capital, so it's not really a strange thing to drop an earring. In my opinion, Uncle and His Highness are overthinking it, investigating an earring in such a rash manner would be like startling a snake to them.
The orange embroidery looked in the mirror and saw that the earrings were made from exquisite peony blossoms. The rubies inlaid on them looked very unique and rich, so she touched them and said, ”These earrings are really beautiful. If madam wants to make a pair for this servant, this servant will be flattered.”
”Tomorrow, I will go to the Nine Flower Temple to pray for the blessing of the baby in the womb of my wangfei. You go and prepare well, and then bring back that box of Fragrant Gum. I will apply it well.” Lian Shiya instructed.
”Yes, ma'am.” The orange embroidery replied.
The next morning, Lian Shiya woke up early. She put on a thick layer of makeup, sat in a sedan, and headed all the way from the Residence of Yue to the Nine Flowers Temple to pay her respects.
Lian Shiya pulled open the curtain of the sedan chair and thought to herself, ”The Fourth Prince didn't say anything. As expected, today, an important person came to the Nine Flower Temple and the earrings have to be found among the people.”
