Lady Hua Guo frowned and talked with the oldest lady for a while. The lady nodded her head to her, and walked up to that lady. "Young Lady Liu, your jade pendant is missing?"
The woman quickly answered, "yes, it is missing. How could it disappear in a twinkling of an eye?"
"What does the jade pendant look like, Young Lady Liu? I'll ask the servant to look for it. Okay? " The oldest lady of the mansion asked in a gentle tone with a smile.
"It is a pure white jade pendant, made of very precious warm jade. It was brought back by Qianjue for me from Qin Xi City last month. I hung the jade pendant around my waist. Because I love it very much, I often carry it to my hands to play. It couldn't be dropped by accident. It must be stolen by someone. " Young Lady Liu answered anxiously, eyes full of worry.
But her words were not kind. Someone sneered in a mockery way, "it's just a jade pendant. So what? It's valuable, yes. But everyone here has a big name in the Jin city. Who will take the jade pendant away? All the jade pillows on my bed are made of warm jade."
Young Lady Liu glared at the woman who spoke, but didn't contradict because of her status. She just said sulkily, "although we are all masters here, not everyone is noble." Then she turned to look at the side lady of Gu Zhaoge. After a pause, she sneered coldly again, "moreover, maybe the master is not in the mood to steal. But I'm not sure about the servants."
The oldest lady frowned at Young Lady Liu's words. Servants of the guests were all waited in the outer court except the servants of Lord Hua Guo's mansion. Most of them were servants here. Young Lady Liu was blaming the servant of the mansion for being impudent and stealing her jade pendant.
"Please sit down and wait, Young Lady Liu. I have asked my servants to search the garden house just now and check if there is something left there." The oldest lady asked her servants to look for the jade pendant there.
After a while, a servant came over with a small jade pendant in his hand.
Young Lady Liu saw it and immediately stood up and said, "it's my jade pendant." Then she rushed to the servant and took the jade pendant from him. After checking it carefully, she squinted at the servant and asked, "who took the jade pendant?"
