Xu Qingyin didnt ask for anyone’s opinion before she asked, “If the pearl isn’t on me, then do you agree to being searched?”
It was Lu Jiao’s turn to answer confidently, “Sure, if we cannot find the pearl on you, you can search me.”
Beside her, Xie Yunjin shot her a look. Given her calm expression, he was sure she had figured out a way to handle this.
Soundlessly, Xie Yunjin watched the situation unfold.
Xu Qingyin wasn’t afraid to have herself searched because she was confident the pearl was in Lu Jiao’s pouch.
Xu Qingyin was about to ask someone to go to a different room with her when Lu Jiao suggested, “Lady Xu, there’s no reason for so much trouble. A pearl isnt a common object. If you move around, it will fall. Can you please twirl around and see if any pearls fall down?
Xu Qingyin was very cooperative. She twirled in one direction, then the next. And naturally, nothing fell out of her.
“Lady Lu, did you see that? There are no pearls on me.”
Lu Jiao nodded, then she raised both hands, “Everyone, take a good look, I have nothing in my hands right now.”
She then looked towards Xu Qingyin, “Forgive me, Lady Xu.”
Lu Jiao searched Xu Qingyin, starting with her collar, and sleeves and around her skirt before she finally landed her gaze on Xu Qingyin’s pouch.
She pulled the pouch off of Xu Qingyin and searched it. In front of everyone, she pulled out a pearl.
“Lady Xu, What is this?”
Xu Qingyin was in disbelief. Didn’t Xiaojue confirm she had put the pearl in Lu Jiao’s pouch? What was the pearl doing in her pouch then?
Did Xiaojue put the pearl in the wrong pouch?
Xu Qingyin wanted to kill someone.
Everyone reacted like they just saw a ghost. Xu Qingyin, the woman who shouted she had been robbed, was the actual thief?
Madame Song angrily yelled, “Xu Qingyin, you dare to make a scene in my household?! The Hu family no longer welcomes you!’
Xu Qingyin started to cry. She truly didn’t understand why the pearl ended up in her pouch?! Before being searched, Lu Jiao had raised her hands high to show she had nothing in her hands. Therefore, Xu Qingyin couldn’t even try to blame this on Lu Jiao.
The grand commanders face was even uglier as he angrily stared at Xu Qingyin.
He suddenly felt like he had spoiled his daughter too much. How dare he set up Xie Yunjin’s wife like this?!
Xie Yunjin was a scholar with much potential. If he ever wanted revenge after becoming an official, the grand commander would be in trouble.
The grand commander was furious and quickly apologized to Xie Yunjin,
“Scholar Xie, I must apologize for my daughter’s behavior.”
Xie Yunjin didn’t even acknowledge Xu Qinqyin. He coldly said to the grand commander, “Grand commander Xu, you should teach your daughter a thing or two. Earlier today, she came to me and spoke a lot of nonsense. And now, she tries to plot against my wife. My wife and I must have opposing horoscopes against her.”
Xie Yunjin stopped talking then. Everyone at the dinner was intelligent and knew right away why Xu Qingyin was determined to harm Xie Yunjin’s wife. She wanted Scholar Xie for herself.
Everyone now looked at Xu Qingyin in disdain. How could a young lady like her set her eyes on someone else’s husband? She even tried to harm the wife? How shameless.
Xu Qingyin felt too ashamed at this point and ran away crying.
The grand commander continued to apologize to Xie Yunjin and Lu Jiao and promised that he would go back and educate his daughter. He then begged for forgiveness.
Though Xie Yunjin and Lu Jiao were angry, the grand commander had apologized and they couldn’t just not accept. In the end, they had no choice but to agree that what happened was in the past.
Magistrate Hu and Madame Song also apologized. After all, Lu Jiao came here today to attend the Hu familys grandson’s one-month birthday.
“Lady Hu, this is all our fault.”
Li Yuyao dragged her sister over so she could apologize to Lu Jiao.
Before Lu Jiao could say anything, Xie Yunjin had sternly stated, “We do not accept apologies that are not genuine.”
He then grabbed Lu Jiao’s hand and announced to magistrate Hu and Madame
Song, “We will get going then.”
Lu Jiao had no choice but to let him be. She was truly annoyed today. How could so much happen at a mere birthday gathering? It was so tiring to be schemed against every day. She preferred to just be a doctor who treated patients.
Xie Yunjin headed out with Lu Jiao’s hand in his. The four little ones soon rushed over to join them. They heard noises and had wanted to check it out for a while. However, the Hu familys servants didnt let them leave.
They felt so wronged now that they were with Xie Yunjin and Lu Jiao. They jumped onto them, “Daddy, mommy.”
Xie Yunjin patted their heads, “What’s wrong?
The First Born frowned, “We heard fighting and were worried about mommy. We wanted to come but their family didn’t let us.”
The Second Born angrily raised his head and asked, “Did bad people hurt my mommy?
If there weren’t bad guys, his daddy wouldn’t have come. He must have come because someone was being bad.
The Third and Fourth Born announced out of frustration, “We will stop coming here to play. There are so many bad people here.”
Only their home was good. There were no bad guys there.
Xie Yunjin and Lu Jiao were about to explain to them that the Hu family was nice when Li Yuyao rushed their way.
“Scholar Xie, Jiaojiao, I want to apologize for my sister’s behavior.”
Li Yuyao studied Lu Jiao, “Jiaojiao, will you forgive me?
Xie Yunjin heard how Li Yuyao called Lu Jiao’s nickname and his gaze glistened over. He never got to refer to Lu Jiao as Jiaojiao yet, why was that woman calling Lu Jiao that? How frustrating.
Though Li Yuyao’s sister Li Yuqin accused Lu Jiao, Li Yuyao was on Lu Jiao’s side the whole time. Therefore, Lu Jiao couldn’t blame her. She could tell that Li Yuyao was genuine about her. Lu Jiao smiled, “That wasn’t your fault. Dont blame yourself. Whenever you have the time, come visit Xiaoxiao and Pingan.”
Li Yuyao was ecstatic to hear that, “Okay, I will bring Xiaoxiao and Pingan and visit next time.”
Lu Jiao smiled in response. Xie Yunjin didn’t want to stay and watch these two women being all friendly so he pulled Lu Jiao out by her hand.
The two got pretty far before Lu Jiao noticed that Xie Yunjin was holding her hand. She struggled out of his grasp..
