”It's not that I'm wronged, but that sister-in-law has already ordered people to search litchi garden. Hearing Nie Jiang's words, they decided to lock him up, and even shut Nie Bo's mouth, leaving only the two of them in litchi garden, who normally would not even be able to come out. Something has happened to litchi garden. It's been almost four hours, and I actually only heard half a sentence from Nie Jiang! ”

After Nie Mo finished speaking, he exhaled and no longer spoke.

The old lady then picked up the jade pendant and raised it to face the light, pursing her lips as she looked at it. Although Nie Mo did not say that it was something that Nie Run gave to her in front of everyone, but she knew that this was it.

Nie Jiang had found Nie Hu with much difficulty, but he didn't have time to say anything else. He only said one sentence, ”Something has happened, when you reply, you must think it through.” In case the masters fought amongst themselves and took your life.

Nie Hu, on the other hand, was the brave one. He entered the courtship alone, and told the little girl who was at the door: ”I will have to trouble Big Sis to help me inform him, it was Second Elder who called me over.”

Nie Mo heard Nie Hu's voice from inside the house.

After a while, Senior Servant Cheng personally reported from outside, and the old lady said, ”Call Nie Hu in to speak.”

Nie Hu walked in and the old lady knelt for a while before she asked, ”Nie Hu, tell me, what did you hear this morning?”

Nie Hu lowered his head even more. He gathered his courage and slowly said, ”Miss Ruyun …”

The old mistress suddenly became angry. ”Don't call her 'lady'. A vicious heart doesn't deserve to be called 'lady'!”

Nie Hu said softly, ”Yes.” He did not dare to look at the expressions of the first two, so he could only say everything that he had heard.

”'s sister, Xiao Yu, helped out in the kitchen from the back, and this servant asked her about it. Originally, Xiao Rou knew how to get the Jade Pendant that the First Young Master gave him, so he asked Ru Yun who was on good terms with him, and Ru Yun told Xiao Rou how he wore the Jade Pendant on his body all day long …” Nie Hu did not dare to say the other things that they had spread between themselves about the slander.

Even though the old lady was not the butler at the moment, she had managed it before. Even if Nie Hu did not say anything, she could more or less guess.

Nie Mo's eyes drooped, other than him, no one else in litchi garden knew about this jade pendant, how did Xiao Rou know?

”Someone, go get him …” Just as the Old Mistress wanted to scream at First Lady, she was interrupted by Nie Mo, ”Mother, why don't you come over and report this matter to Eldest Sister-in-Law?”

After raiding his little brother's garden, he did not inform him in advance nor did he inform him in time afterwards. He only hoped that the First Lady would delay it a little longer.

”Speaking of which, this jade pendant is much more valuable than the two little girls. It's only right that sister-in-law doesn't want to give it up. After all, this family will belong to eldest brother and sister-in-law sooner or later …”

”Brother Mo!” The old lady could not bear to hear what Nie Mo was saying anymore, so she said to Nie Hu, ”Go and stand guard outside the door, don't go too far away, I still have to ask you a question later.”

Just that if he wanted to protect her, he could only come around and speak. Otherwise, if he could not protect her, he might be able to harm her.

”Originally, I wanted to quietly read these two months of books. It seems that there is someone who does not like me. ”Speaking of which, wasn't it due to the fact that father didn't ask me to step down from the stage in the past few years that he told others that my studies weren't good enough? If I were to fail this time, it would only mean that father was right and I really wouldn't have any future …”

As she said so, the madame's attention was diverted away.

If it was only the little girl and the jade pendant, the butler of First Lady would be at a disadvantage, but if it was affecting Nie Mo's future, the old lady would definitely not listen to him.

The madame pitied her son. Once things turned to conspiracy theories, she would have more ideas.

As a mother, she naturally hoped that her children would be well and not suffer from injustice. However, under the condition of inequality, she absolutely could not allow herself to bully the weak.

Although there was no conclusive evidence, Nie Mo who splashed the dirty water, did not feel any guilt at all.

He had long hated the First Lady, it was just that he was a man and his brother-in-law, he normally did not care about them, but if they bullied him, maybe he could endure it for a day or two, so it was not good to bully them.

Even though it was not good for him to give up his life, he might even think that his kindness was repaid with enmity.

This kind of jade pendant, where did Nie Run get the money to buy it?

Nie Mo dared to bet with his name, that he definitely did not buy it from the First Lady. Nie Run's salary was so small, if he wanted to save up enough money to buy a piece of jade, he would need to save up to seventy years and eighty percent. Where did the money come from? It could only be the public's money.

But for such a large sum of silver, the First Lady's butler said that the money would be spent, but what if the other people in the other rooms also wanted to buy it?

If one's own family didn't feel bad spending money, then spending money on outsiders was a completely different matter.

”Although our family is also a hundred year old family, we are not rich enough to let our descendants be extravagant, so it is only right for our sister-in-law to care so much for the jade pendant. I don't even have such a good jade, how could I bear to give it to a little girl! ”Oh, that's right. Sister-in-law might have even used her own dowry to buy it for eldest brother …”

”Nonsense, if she really bought it herself, would your brother say it?” It was obvious that the government was paying for it. The old mistress was infuriated.

To add oil to the fire, one had to pay attention to safety. Nie Mo did not continue speaking.

Seeing that his mother did not look too good, he even lowered his temperature, ”Mother, please calm down. It's my son who is angry, you've gone overboard with your words.”

He touched the teacup and found that it was cold. He even changed the old mistress' cup of hot tea.
