The Whole Family Went Crazy Listening To My Thoughts, I Was Responsible For Feeding Chapter 26

Chapter 26 Catching the Thief

“This lady is staying.” Mrs. Xu gave her a meaningful look.

"What else do you want to do?" Pei Jiaojiao's tone was a bit displeased, and she looked at Mrs. Xu with malicious eyes.

Mrs. Xu shook her head: "This is a bit offensive, but it concerns Madam's face and dignity, so I have to stop Madam."

"Madam, where did the hairpin on the temples come from?" She pointed to the hollow hairpin on Pei Jiaojiao's head.

The traces of hollow gold threads outline the hairpins in a lively and eye-catching way.

A hint of guilt flashed across Pei Jiaojiao's eyebrows, but she quickly straightened her back.

"It was a gift from my husband-in-law. It is an ancestral item of his clan. What? Mrs. Zhongyonghou, can't even afford this thing?" This hairpin was given to her by the Marquis last time when Jinghuai was admitted as a scholar. of.

Xu's eyebrows are sharp.

“It's really strange, how come my dowry is on your head?!”

 “Climb the branch and report to the official!” Mrs. Xu's eyes were filled with cold light.

This is something from her private treasury!

Lu Yuanze, what a courageous dog!

 Eating her clothes, wearing her clothes, and using her dowry to support his concubines!

　Today, I must peel off his skin!

"Don't report to the official!" Pei Jiaojiao suddenly let out a cooing sound.

That cooing and delicate voice almost missed her.

"This hairpin was a gift from my husband's family. What evidence do you have to prove that it is yours? How can you slander it out of thin air?" Pei Jiaojiao shed tears before she could speak, which made many people feel sad.

She has a graceful figure, and even if she only reveals a pair of watery eyes, she is alluring.

 Xu's beauty is dignified and generous.

Dengzhi didn't dare to leave, so he asked someone to sneak out and report to the official.

"Evidence? This hairpin was made by me when I was fifteen years old. I personally drew the drawings and ordered people to build it. There is absolutely no second similar hairpin in the world!"

“The drawings are still in my house, do you want to see the evidence?”

"Perhaps you have never looked carefully." A trace of resentment welled up in Xu's heart. At the age of fifteen, when she was first tempted, she flew into the flames and ruined her sincerity.

"This is a token of love between me and the Marquis. Inside the gold hairpin, my and the Marquis' names are engraved. Our love will never waver." How ironic.

This is a drawing she personally designed in order to commemorate her love with Lu Yuanze. The golden threads are overlapping and the hairpins are wrapped with her and Lu Yuanze's names.

 Xu felt a dull pain in her heart.

Suddenly, a pair of small hands grasped her index finger.

　　　　Mom, don't be angry, don't be angry. When the body is angry, the enemy gets what he wants. 】

Xu Shi smiled at Chao Chao.

 Not long after, the official messenger came.

Pei Jiaojiao's face turned slightly pale, and the maid behind her glared at her fiercely. This was the maid left by Lu Yuanze.

  It is not only to serve her, but also to take care of her.

"Who reported it to the official?" The visitor looked majestic. When he saw Mrs. Xu, he saluted Mrs. Xu.

The Xu family now has a third-grade imperial edict, and these guards who are hanging out in the capital have clearly remembered those who cannot be offended.

 The legitimate daughter of the old lady Fu and the younger sister of Xu Yiting, the minister of the dynasty.

At the age of thirty-seven, Xu Shangshu took the position of Shangshu. No one in the capital was afraid of him.

This Xu family is really lucky. His Majesty was originally worried about Xu Yiting sitting in the third rank position for eight years, but he was framed one day.

 Instead, he was promoted.

"It's the official reported by the servant. The hairpin on this lady's head is my wife's dowry. For some reason, it ended up on this lady's head!"

“This madam is the mother of Lu Jinghuai, a talented young man from Beijing. She can't be a thief, right?” Dengzhi covered his mouth and chuckled.

 The famous young genius, with great talent, unfortunately, he succeeded to the throne by stepping on the eldest young master Lu Yanshu!

Pei Jiaojiao's face turned red.

The mother, who was called a genius boy just now, is being thrown down as hard as she was praised so highly. "I didn't steal it!" Pei Jiaojiao glared at Mrs. Xu.

 She is just jealous that she has a genius son!

Dengzhi quickly pulled the hairpin off her head, only to find that the hairpin was hooked on her hair.

 It won't hurt to climb the branch, just pull it straight.

The hairpin was snatched away instantly.

　　I felt a headache when I climbed the branch, so I stepped on the hairpin and bent it.

 Then reveal Lu and Xu inside.

"This, this is really Mrs. Xu's hairpin! It also has Mrs. Xu's name in it." The onlookers were shocked and pointed at Pei Jiaojiao.

"Could it be that the mother of a genius boy is actually a thief!?" Someone even murmured, which made Pei Jiaojiao tremble all over.

 “No! It's not me!” She almost roared! Pei Jiaojiao was so angry that she was shaking all over. The maid hugged Lu Jingyao and hurriedly winked at the young man.

“Young genius, Lu Jinghuai's mother turned out to be a thief. What she stole was other people's dowry!” The onlookers laughed sarcastically.

"I didn't, I didn't steal!" Pei Jiaojiao was panicked. Her son now had an excellent reputation, was gaining momentum, and had made friends with noble people.

 Dengzhi glanced at her disdainfully: "I didn't steal it. Why is this thing on your head?"

“If you say you didn't steal it, then call your husband out for a confrontation.”

Pei Jiaojiao was silent for a moment, biting her lip, not daring to say Lu Yuanze's name.

Because of this sentence, my scalp was numb with fear.

When everyone saw it, hey, this is really fishy.

“Why don't you dare to call your husband-in-law when you say he didn't steal it?”

“This lady is dressed like a dog, and she stole someone's dowry!”

“Oh, that talented young man, didn't he just use stolen things to pay for his sacrifice?” This meeting happened to be at the gate of Jinpin Building, and there were many people coming and going, pointing.

Dengzhi said without leaving any trace: "I heard that he got engaged to the Jiang family a few days ago and received a lot of gifts. Is this gift stolen too?"

Pei Jiaojiao's eyelids twitched.

 The officials could not afford to offend the Marquis, but they were also wary of Pei Jiaojiao's son.

Lu Jinghuai studied at Tianhong Academy, and it is said that he was accepted as a closed disciple by the dean. The dean even bluntly said that Lu Jinghuai's talent was enough to win three yuan in a row!

The official said, "Thank you, madam, for coming with me."

Pei Jiaojiao doesn't want to leave. If she leaves, she won't be able to explain it today.

The maid glanced at her and tugged at her sleeves. If she didn't leave, she would only get darker if she stayed here. It will be of no benefit to Mr. Lu in the future!

 The reputation you worked so hard to build will be destroyed in one day!

Pei Jiaojiao reluctantly left.

"My slave, please go with the official." Dengzhi went to the Yamen together on behalf of the Xu family.

 She also asked Yingxue to go back to her house and get the drawings from that year and the dowry list.

Mrs. Xu picked up a gift for Chaochao, then gave it to him and returned home.

As soon as she returned home, the old lady asked someone to invite her to Deshan Hall.

Mother Lin came menacingly, with a fierce light in her eyes.

 Mr. Xu stood outside Deshan Hall.

 “The old lady is taking a nap, Mrs. Hardworking, please wait.” Nanny Lin looked unkind and had no intention of letting her in.

Xu's eyelids were slightly raised.

　　When she got married, the old lady also set rules for her in the same way.

At that time, Lu Yuanze tried to persuade them, saying that the old lady had raised their brothers and sisters alone and had suffered a lot. If she felt a little emotional, she should let Mrs. Xu take care of it.

 Xu was out in the sun until her eyes were dizzy.

 And now…
