After dressing up as a villain cousin, I brought my whole family to a new life

Chapter 45 Losing Money
  Shan Qingyan looked at the jade pendant on the ground with confusion on her face. When did this jade pendant come to her body?
  Guan Zheqiu returned the jade pendant to Shan Qingyan, "Qingyan, this jade pendant is very beautiful. Where did you buy it? I want to buy one too."

Dan Ningning stood aside and watched them dog-eat-dog, his eyes constantly turning on them.

Shan Qingyan frowned, pushed the jade pendant away in disgust, and directly denied it, "This is not my thing."

"The jade pendant is not from Qingyan, how could it fall from your body?"

Zi Han did not cooperate with their acting, but directly took the jade pendant over, "Sister, wasn't this jade pendant given to you by the emperor? Why is it talking about someone else's body?"

Zi Han put his eyes on Shan Qingyan, looked up and down doubtfully, then opened his mouth in surprise and pointed at her tremblingly, "Shan Qingyan, you don't want to live anymore, you actually took A jade pendant given by the emperor."

After Zi Han finished speaking, he said in horror: "Sister, we'd better go back and see how much of the things you have given me. If these things leak out, our entire Shangshu Mansion will suffer!"

Zihan's words made everyone's faces look ugly, showing expressions of horror.

At this time, Guan Zheqiu no longer cared about framing Shan Qingyan. He took Dan Ningning's hand and said, "Ningning, we are a family. It doesn't matter if nothing is lost. There is no need to make things too ugly. .”

"Ning Ning, Qingyan is still young and not sensible. Maybe she saw the jade pendant because it looked good, so she took it for a look."

Dan Ningning curled her lips and smiled, "Aunt, I haven't spoken yet. What are you doing? Is there something I don't know about?"

She cursed in her heart, "Guan Zheqiu's moral character is only so high. If you have no brains and want to frame others, don't you worry that they will know about it and kill her in the future?"

Dan Ningning despised Guan Zheqiu a little. She looked so ugly and dared to use the things given by the emperor to frame others. She was risking her life.

At this time, Shan Qingyan finally figured out what was going on. Her expression was worse than a cesspool, and she looked at the other party closely, "Sister, I didn't get this jade pendant, and I don't know why it was on me. In order to express innocence, I suggest reporting it to the official.”

There was a smile on Shan Qingyan's lips, and she knew in her heart that she could not let outsiders know about this matter, as it would not be good for either Dan Ningning or herself.

Shan Qingyan wasn't afraid either. She didn't take the things. Even if the emperor blamed her, it would be the fault of the entire Shangshu Mansion.

When Guan Zheqiu heard that he was going to report to the official, his legs became weak and he became more and more frightened. He originally wanted to teach Shan Qingyan a lesson, but now he was in trouble.

Guan Zheqiu took Dan Ningning's hand and looked at her pleadingly, "Ningning, aunt still has a younger brother in her belly. No matter who took the jade pendant, we shouldn't let outsiders know. It doesn't matter if I'm dead." , but we can’t let the child in our belly suffer.”

Guan Zheqiu's words said everything.

Tan Ningning didn't speak, but Shan Zian spoke, "Ningning, just give your second uncle some face. Since the jade pendant is not missing, then don't worry about it."

Dan Ningning smiled contemptuously. Shan Zian really had no brains. The things given by the emperor were missing. Didn't he know that if the emperor blamed him, his head would fall to the ground?

Shan Zian lowered her head under Dan Ningning's gaze, blaming Guan Zheqiu in her heart for why she did this. She wanted to die not to drag her along.

Just as Dan Ningning was about to speak, she heard Shan Qingyan's words, "Dad, I didn't do this. I insisted on reporting it to the official. I can lose my life, but my reputation cannot be ruined."

Shan Qingyan knew very well that if her reputation was gone, it would be impossible to be the second imperial concubine in the future, let alone the queen.

She cannot lose her position as the mother of a country because of Guan Zheqiu's frame-up. The most important thing now is to prove her innocence. When Shan Zian heard the news, he subconsciously scolded Shan Qingyan, hoping that she wouldn't hold on to her, "Qingyan, stop talking nonsense. If this gets out, our whole family will be killed."

"It's better to be dead than to be innocent. Dad, we all know what happened here. I won't take the blame for others."

Shan Qingyan's persistence made Guan Zheqiu very angry, and he wanted to beg Shan Qingyan not to pursue the matter anymore, but Shan Qingyan was unwilling to compromise, so he had to think of other ways.

Zi Han whispered softly, "Sister, how about we report to the official? We won the Dongling Kingdom. I believe the emperor will be lenient and will not kill us."

Dan Ningning raised her right hand and said, "Come, please report to the official."

Dan Ningning's words made Guan Zheqiu confused, and he subconsciously blamed the matter on the servant, "I seem to have seen this jade pendant on Orange. Is it you who took the jade pendant?"

"Madam, this was not taken by a slave." Upon seeing this, Juhong knelt down and expressed her innocence.

Guan Zheqiu did not let go of Ju Hong. Now that she finally found this way, how could she let go.

Guan Zheqiu blamed the servants, while Dan Ningning and the others stood aside and watched all this, with expressions like "I know everything" on their faces.

Finally, under Guan Zheqiu's coercion and threats, Juhong admitted that she had taken the jade pendant.

Dan Ningning did not make a fuss about the matter. Seeing that the person who took the blame had been found, she stopped pestering him.

But she never thought of letting Guan Zheqiu go so simply. She didn't mind Guan Zheqiu and Shan Qingyan dog-eating, but Guan Zheqiu shouldn't focus on her.

"Well, it doesn't matter if I don't want to make this matter a fuss. As long as Orange and Red accompany me for a thousand taels of silver, I will pretend that this matter never happened."

"What? One thousand taels, why don't you go and grab it?" Guan Zheqiu heard the one thousand taels and vetoed it without even thinking.

Guan Zheqiu doesn't have much silver left, and now she has to take away a thousand taels from her. This is cutting off Guan Zheqiu's flesh.

Dan Ningning ignored it, but focused on Shan Zian, "Second uncle, what do you think? It depends on you whether you want money or life."

Tan Ningning smiled evilly, "Guan Zheqiu, we all know what's going on. I don't mind if you dog bites dog, but don't target me."

After Tan Ningning finished speaking, he patted the dust on his clothes and said, "Okay, you guys make up your mind quickly. If it's later, I won't give you face."

Guan Zheqiu finally gave Dan Ningning one thousand taels under Shan Zian's persuasion. The reason was that she was the owner of Juhong, and if her servants did something wrong, she should bear the responsibility as the owner.

Dan Ningning did not correct who was behind the scenes. She took the silver and was about to leave, but she still stopped and said, "Next time, I won't let you go."

Her idea was achieved, there was no need to waste time on them.
