"Miss, please don't slander our Miss." Chu Yue was looking at the group of people in front of her with cold expression. It was night time and they purposely picked this time to create trouble for her miss.
What a good group of people.
If only it was not unsuitable, she would have already smashed her fist towards their faces. She might not stay near Nan Hua for a long time, but she respected her miss greatly.
"I'm not wrong! The bracelet form my grandfather lost after I see her in the library! Aside from her, who would possibly take my bracelet?" Qu Yu Nie asked fiercely, looking like she was about to swallow someone up.
"Have you searched in your room?" Xiao Yun asked coldly.
"I have! Do you think I'm so stupid to not check my room first?" Qu Yu Nie asked back fiercely.
However, Ran, Xiao Yun, and Chu Yue stood still in front of the gate. The three of them formed a fence that blocked everyone who tried to barge into Nan Hua's Quarter. It was not suitable for outsider to enter her quarter, especially at this hour.
At this moment, even Nan Shu Cheng appeared. He had been very tired because of the mess at the palace. Who would have known that there would be another high ranked official pulled down because he offended the Emperor and even dared to touch the Imperial Family?
Thus Nan Shu Cheng felt that his mental state has been exhausted.
He came home late and what greeted him was not a peaceful residence. Instead, there was another drama coming on.
Nan Hua walked out, her steps calm and unhurried. Her pitch black obsidian eyes swept across the crowd in front of her. "To what do I owe your presence so late at night in front of my residence?"
Her calm and collected words could be heard by everyone. Even though Nan Hua was speaking in her normal voice, it felt as if everyone could hear her talking like she was beside them. It was a strange feeling.
Qu Yu Nie stepped forward. "My bracelet disappeared! Did you take it?"
Nan Hua looked at Qu Yu Nie and felt that she could see why the Qu Family failed to rise above their ranks. With the people in their household being this brash and stupid, it would be a wonder if they could achieve a lot in their lives. They were being used by other people, but they acted as if it was the most natural thing in the world.
"I don't know anything about it."
"Lies! You're the only one who get into close contact with me! I'm wearing it when I visited the library but then I can't find it anymore!" Qu Yu Nie didn't want to back down and looked at Nan Hua fiercely.
But Nan Hua was not worried in the slightest bit. She merely looked at Qu Yu Nie and asked, "Is it valuable?"
"Of course! It worth several taels of silvers! My grandfather gave it to me as present and it's very valuable for me!"
"Do you think Nan Family lack a few taels of silvers?"
Qu Yu Nie was taken aback.
At this time, she finally realized that Nan Hua didn't come out immediately because she was dressing up. Nan Hua didn't usually wear accessories, but this time, she wore several of them. Each of her jewelries worth much more than what Qu Yu Nie could possibly have in her entire life.
After all, the Qu Family couldn't possibly afford to have a prodigal daughter who spent their money like water.
"Does your jewelries worth more than what I have?" Nan Hua looked at Qu Yu Nie. "Nan Family didn't lack several silvers."
At this moment, Qu Yu Nie couldn't say anything.
Nan Hua kept on saying Nan Family, which meant that she was saying that the Nan Family would not steep so low to the point that they would steal a bracelet that belonged to a stranger. Not to mention, what was the point of doing that.
Turning her head to look at the servants around Nan Hua, Qu Yu Nie noticed that even the maidservants had better jewelries. Their jewelries were all worth much more than the jewelries Qu Yu Nie brought with her, so they have no motives to steal from her.
As Qu Yu Nie stammered, Nan Xin watched the show from the back and silently snorted. She had been guessing that this pair of sisters didn't come to Nan Shu Cheng's Residence without some shady intention. Now that this was revealed, she looked down on the Qu Family even more.
They even tried to bring outsiders in order to frame Nan Hua.
And their frame methods were so low that it was too pitiful to look at. What these people valued was not the same as what they valued.
"Xin'er, don't fall to their trap."
"I'll be careful, Mother." Nan Xin's eyes gleamed as she passed a reassuring smile to her mother. "I still remember all of your teaching."
Concubine Mei nodded as she stood still in her place. Now that it was revealed that Nan Hua had no motive, it would be hard for one to pin the blame in her. The only thing they could do was if the bracelet was truly found in Nan Hua.
But would it be so easy?
From what Concubine Mei knew, the maidservants around Nan Hua knew martial arts. It wouldn't be easy to put a bracelet on them without the owner knew about it. This pitiful scheme was doomed to fail even before it could see the ray of light.
"In that case, let us check your servants first!" Madam Qu was unwilling to give up. "Even if you don't take it, it might be your servants."
"Is it?" Nan Hua looked at Madam Qu then turned around to look at Nan Shu Cheng. "Are you going to continue with this farce?"
