She hadn’t stole it, but the money had appeared in her room.
Hence, this was a set-up.
After saying this, Xia Nuannuan looked towards Shen Zihao.
His expression was hesitant and uncertain.
Xia Nuannuan’s heart froze.
But she couldn’t really blame him.
Although they were married, they had not known each other for more than three months.
Besides, apart from getting married, prior to getting married, they had seen each other only once in a while.
He did not know her well and did not trust her.
But even then, she was sad.
Suddenly, she understood Xia Yehua’s heartache.
Mei Feng’s influence over Shen Zihao was too strong.
She bit her lip and hung her head.
Shen Xiu understood what was going on and he was livid. “What do you mean? Are you saying your Aunty Mei is slandering you? How can you have the audacity to say this? Why would your Aunty Mei slander you? We already have evidence that you stole it. The witnesses and the money are all here. What proof do you have to show you didn’t steal it?”
Mei Feng hung her head as well. “Nuannuan, from the time you arrived into this family, I will say that I’ve been nothing but good to you. Why do you accuse me groundlessly?”
Xia Nuannuan bit her lip.
Then she looked up and said stubbornly, “There are surveillance cameras on the second floor. I want to see who has been into my room.”
At once, Mei Feng’s expression lit up with amusement.
In the beginning, when Shen Zihao was covering up for her, the outcome had put a stop to Mei Feng’s scheme. But Xia Nuannuan was so silly that she did not take the easy way out. She would rather not let things go.
This was exactly what Mei Feng had been waiting for.
The woman instructed, “Bring the surveillance footage of the house!”
Xia Nuannuan was immediately taken aback by the boldness with which Mei Feng was acting.
She thought to herself, “Oh no!”
Mei Feng had always been a careful and very meticulous person, so she wouldn’t leave a trace of evidence for sure.
However, Xia Nuannuan was hoping for a fluke and wanted to take the chance.
The butler turned around and quickly went to get the surveillance footage.
As the footage of the second floor was being played, they saw that since the money had been taken right up to now, only the young housekeeper had been into Mei Feng’s bedroom. After that, no one had gone near Xia Nuannuan’s bedroom.
But how could this be?
If no one had placed the money in her room, how could the money have vanished from Mei Feng’s room?
Mei Feng sighed and said, “Nuannuan, now you believe me? I did not slander you.”
Xia Nuannuan started to panic. “There are other ways to prove that I did not take the money. I’ve never touched this money and my fingerprints can not be on them. We can take the money to the police station and have them investigate the matter.”
At once, Shen Xiu laughed icily. He said, “Is this not embarrassing enough? Now you want to blow this matter up?!”
Xia Nuannuan opened her mouth to speak again, but before she could utter a word, Shen Zihao shouted angrily, “Enough!”
Xia Nuannuan was stunned and turned to look at him.
He looked at her sharply and said, “I said that’s enough! I gave you that money, like I said! Now let’s go back to our room!”
Xia Nuannuan’s pupils shrank at once.
Enough... He had “given her the money.”
Shen Zihao still did not believe her.
She tightened her fists at once and stood there, refusing to move.
But the next moment, Shen Zihao grabbed her wrist and pulled her into their room.
Bang! The bedroom door was slammed shut.
As Xia Nuannuan looked at the furious Shen Zihao, she suddenly no longer felt afraid. She only felt tired.
