captive skylark

Chapter 62
Her eyes were full of light, and there was still a tear hanging from the corner of her eye, which was about to drop.

Seeing it for a moment, Xie Jue's heart melted, and he didn't even care about being a thief, so he hurriedly said: "Then I'll go out and tell them to keep their voices down, don't scare my sisters."

The massive search in the Xie Mansion lasted for a whole day, and as expected, nothing was found in the search.

After all, several months have passed since this incident, and most people can't remember what happened on that day even when they asked about it.

It is also rewarding, and many slaves who steal and sell the mansion have been caught.

There were crying and begging for mercy in the garden, and the nurse in charge went to Mrs. Xie to answer.

"Didn't find it?" Mrs. Xie asked after listening, "Have you searched everywhere carefully? Have you asked carefully?"

"I've searched and asked. It's just..." The nurse in charge hesitated, "I didn't go to the cousin's garden."

"Why didn't I go to my garden?" Yun Xi asked her when she heard it from the side.

Mammy replied, "Master said, Cousin girl is young and easily frightened, so tell us not to go there."

"What kind of words are you talking about?" Mrs. Xie became angry when she heard the intimacy in her words, "Girl Yuan has always been with me, what is there to be scared about?"

He also ordered, "Lead people over quickly, and talk back earlier."

Mammy hurriedly led the people over.

Xie Shuang saw Yunxi's lonely expression, and secretly took her hand from the bottom, "Sister, don't be sad. We all regard my sister as our own sister in our hearts."

She pushed Xie Jue aside, "Second Brother said, right?"

"Yes." Xie Jue also came to comfort her, "Sister, don't be sad. Father didn't mean anything else. Maybe he thought the same as me. He knew that it was absolutely impossible for him to be from my sister's garden, so I didn't search for it."

Yun Xi raised her eyes to look at him, the sockets of her eyes were already red, and against that white face, she became more and more delicate and pitiful.

Xie Sui became anxious immediately, "Sister, don't cry. I was the one who caused the disaster, but it made my sister sad. It's really my fault."

He really regretted it in his heart, he really shouldn't have chewed that tongue in front of his aunt that day.

Seeing his remorse, Yun Xi slowly wiped away his tears with a handkerchief, and then forced a smile, "I don't blame brother, it's just me thinking too much."

The nanny who went to copy the inspection came back soon, followed by the servant girl who escorted a person, Suling from Yunxi's room.

"Going back to the old lady, nothing was found in Tangluo Garden. Instead, this was found in this maid's room..."

Mammy stepped forward, took out a cloth bag and put it on the table.

Open it, there are some hairpins and rings jewellery, which are extremely rich and exquisite, and it is not a maid's thing at first glance.

"Isn't this my sister's pearl hairpin?" Xie Shuang recognized one of them, "I saw my sister wearing it before."

This is to confirm Suling's reputation of stealing.

Now that the matter has come to this point, Suling also knows that her time is approaching, so she lowers her head and does not make any excuses.

Mrs. Xie turned her head and asked Yunxi, "Girl Yuan, this is the person in your room. Look, what should we do with it?"

It is common for servants who steal property from their masters to be beaten to death.

But Yunxi thought for a while, walked up to Mrs. Xie and knelt down, "Grandmother, Yuan'er has the guts to ask you for a favor on her behalf."

"I know the situation in her family. She has a younger brother who has been suffering from insufficiency since birth. He will be supported by money for medicine every month. She stole my pearl hairpin, and she must have sold it to her. My brother grabs the medicine and takes it. Although this move is wrong, I can understand it."
