Chapter 860 The Conspiracy Revealed (3)
Dongfang Yu nodded lightly, "As far as the current situation is concerned, it should be like this."

Yan Zhi frowned, with a look of suspicion on her face, "But I really can't believe it, who has such courage; besides, ordinary people can't enter your bedroom, Shi Zifei, who would know where the pearl hairpin is placed?"

"Well, there are usually only a few of us in the jewelry box. People who followed the princess from the Dongfang Mansion to the Prince An's Mansion know it. This...could it be that the pearl hairpin fell somewhere? Or should I look for it again? ?”

Dongfang Yu turned his eyes somewhere outside the door, nodded and said: "Then look for it first, if you can't find it anymore; nine out of ten it has disappeared."

Yan Zhi thought for a while, then said: "I want to ask Qing He to help me find it, Shi Zifei, do you think this is okay?"

"If you want her to help, then call; I have no objection; if Mother Luo and Xia Xue are free, you can also ask them to drop by to help; I'm going to eat outside first; you look here carefully. "

Rouge complied; Dongfang Yu then turned and walked out.

An hour later, Rouge had to go to see Dongfang Yu with her head downcast.

"Look at your dejected look; you must not have found that pearl hairpin." Dongfangyu raised his head lazily from the medical book, his voice was as usual and melodious, and there was no sense of regret or unhappiness.

Rouge nodded, looked at her with a frowning face, and said: "Concubine Shizi, although I really want to find that sapphire blue jade pearl hairpin, it's a pity that I have been looking for it for so long; I can almost count how many particles of dust are on the ground. , just didn’t find the sapphire-dotted emerald bead hairpin that was missing.”

Dongfang Yu raised his eyes, his eyes were as bright as snow, "Then think carefully about who else entered the bedroom after you left it yesterday."

Yanzhi thought about it seriously, and suddenly her eyes lit up, and she hurriedly said: "Concubine Shizi, I remember that there were two other people who entered the room besides my servant yesterday; but they didn't stay there for long; if that Zhizhuchai was really taken away by one of them; they should have clearly understood the box where the slaves kept the jewelry in advance, so that they could take away the Zhuchai in a short period of time and restore the things to their original state."

Dongfang Yu deliberately wanted to test Rouge's observation skills, so he said, "Then who do you think looks the most suspicious?"

Yan Zhi fell silent and thought for a while before hesitating: "Concubine Shizi, this servant thinks that servant's whereabouts are the most suspicious; she saw it when I put the jewelry yesterday; maybe she remembered that Baolan clicked on the location where the jade pearl hairpin was placed; in the afternoon, when no one was looking, she sneaked in and took it away."

Dongfang Yu smiled slightly, his eyes became brighter and startling, "So, if she really stole that pearl hairpin; that pearl hairpin is still hidden in her room now."

Yan Zhi nodded her head vigorously, and said repeatedly: "If that's the case; it's naturally impossible for her to get rid of that valuable pearl hairpin without the opportunity to leave Prince An's Mansion."

"Then... shall we search her room now?" Dongfang Yu smiled lightly again, his eyes bright and full of inquiries.

Encouraged by her eyes, Yan Zhi eased her nervousness, but she held her head and thought for a while, then hesitated and said: "Concubine Shizi, will it be too arbitrary to search her room now? If that branch Didn't she steal the pearl hairpin?"

Dongfangyu leaned on the chair lazily, and smiled, "Then I'll give you an hour to investigate; well, besides her, you can also secretly observe other people, maybe other people sneaked in and took them away. Not necessarily."

Yan Zhi nodded vigorously, and clenched her fist towards Dongfang Yu, "Princess Shizi, don't worry; I will definitely ascertain who did this as soon as possible."

Dongfangyu smiled and waved, his bright eyes full of encouragement and trust, "Then you go."

Since it is a secret investigation, it is natural to quietly not alarm anyone.

Rouge took the order and went alone to investigate the servant she thought was the most suspicious; Dongfangyu didn't interfere with her at all; and didn't ask others to help.

An hour passed quickly.

Rouge appeared in front of Dongfangyu again, with an expression of anger and intolerance on his face.

Before she reported the situation, she knew that she had observed the surroundings vigilantly, and made sure that no one was eavesdropping. Then she walked quickly to Dongfang Yu, lowered her voice deliberately, and said quickly: "Shizi Concubine, this servant has already inquired clearly. Someone saw the servant leaving the house in a panic yesterday, and as soon as she got out of the house, she immediately hid in her own room; at that time, because someone was sick, she was sleeping with her head covered in the servant's room; so she didn't pay attention at all It turned out that the person accidentally saw her hiding something in a hurry."

"Besides, this servant also inquired about something." Rouge paused, obviously a little nervous, "My servant heard that her old father was seriously ill and was in urgent need of a large sum of money; she even quietly asked someone to borrow money ; but the borrowed money is not much; the servant girl wondered if it was because of this that she had the idea to steal that valuable pearl hairpin and sell it."

Dongfang Yu slightly raised his eyebrows, slightly hooked the corners of his mouth, and smiled casually. No wonder Rouge looked so weird; he was angry and couldn't bear it.

"Then what do you think we should do now?"

Dongfangyu looked at her with a smile, and his tone was usually like talking about the weather; Rouge didn't feel the pressure, so naturally she wouldn't be nervous, and she would think more carefully.

Yanzhi thought about it for a while, and then said: "Concubine Shizi, I feel that no matter what the reason is, stealing is stealing; this kind of behavior is always a shameful behavior; and I feel that no matter what, I can't condone it; as for her The family needs money... This servant thinks that she can freely borrow from you, Crown Princess; even if she doesn't borrow money, she can also ask you to advance her future wages; why do you have to do such a hateful thing."

Dongfang Yu smiled with relief, and his eyes became brighter, "It seems that our Rouge has really grown up and matured. Thinking about things will never be as simple as before; people in this world are either black or white."

Yan Zhi was suddenly praised so positively by her, she was stunned for a while, and then her face turned red, her eyes were full of embarrassment.

"Well, Rouge, you haven't said what we should do with her?"

Yanzhi gritted her teeth, and said bitterly: "Concubine Shizi, I feel that we should search her room immediately; as long as we find that pearl hairpin, she can't quibble or deny it; as for the matter after that, it's up to Concubine Shizi." You handle it."

Dongfangyu nodded in satisfaction, looked at Rouzhi with a smile, and his eyes were obviously relieved and happy, "Then do as you said, we will immediately ask Mama Luo to take someone to search her room; however, in order to avoid wronging her, it is best It’s safer to search other rooms as well.”
