Chapter 45: Framing and Blame-Shifting

Yan Moci sneered, "What are you joking about?"

Yan Ningyue, what does she think she is? She actually dares to have the esteemed young master of the Yan Family climb through a window.

Su Xiyan also nodded, "What's there to fear about a window? Prepare the wheelchair; we'll go straight back through the front."

Dongzi hesitated, "But, just now Yan Ningyue already looked everywhere."

If we go back through the front again, I'm afraid it will arouse her suspicion.

Su Xiyan said indifferently, "Anyway, the seed of suspicion has already been planted in their hearts; you think dragging it out this long"

After seeing us in the room, she won't have any suspicions, right?

Dongzi still wanted to say something, "But...."

Yan Moci, "Prepare the wheelchair."

"Miss Yan Ningyue! The young master has never allowed anyone to go up to the second floor; you have already overstepped."

"Now you even want to forcibly break into the young master and eldest daughter-in-law's room; if the old master comes back..."

Yan Ningyue scoffed, "What if the grandfather comes back? At most he'll just scold a few words."

"He Yan Moci is already like this now; what can he do to me?"

Having said that, Yan Ningyue disregarded Liu Guanjia's obstruction and pushed the door open.

Seeing the empty room, Yan Ningyue's heart startled, and she already had a plan in mind.

Taking advantage of Liu Guanjia's hurried obstruction, she quickly tossed something onto the low cabinet by the door.

After doing all this, a smug smile appeared on Yan Ningyue's lips,

She became even more arrogant, saying, "Where is that Su Xiwei person? This outsider, where did she take my brother Yan Moci?"

"I haven't settled the score with her for driving away my mother!"

"Today is perfect; if she dares to come, I, the eldest daughter of the Yan Family, will definitely give her a good lesson! I'll set some rules for her!"

"What a despicable, lowly thing that can't see the light of day, also dares to say it wants to set rules for me."

Hearing Su Xiyan's calm, composed voice that carried an imposing aura, Liu Guanjia finally breathed a sigh of relief.

"'Eldest daughter-in-law, you have finally returned.'"

"'You are Su Xiwei! How dare you speak to me like this!'"

"Do you know who I am? Su Xiwei, do you know? If you hadn't married into the Yan Family, with your Su Family's status in Jingcheng, you wouldn't even be fit to hand me my shoes!"

Yan Ningyue also saw Su Xiyan; just as she was about to erupt, seeing Yan Moci in the wheelchair instinctively frightened her, and her speech lost its earlier arrogance.

But soon, she came to her senses.

Hmph, Yan Moci is already a living corpse; she doesn't need to fear him!

Su Xiyan sneered, "Miss Yan Ningyue, I hate nothing more than people saying I'm not worthy."

After all, hoping someone would hand me my shoes is a weird hobby; I certainly wouldn't praise it..

Moreover, you seem to have forgotten that I am now the eldest daughter-in-law of the Yan Family; by seniority, you should call me sister-in-law.

In terms of status, you are a concubine-born daughter; it's better not to say things like 'the Yan Family's sole eldest daughter' anymore.

Because, you are not worthy either.

Yan Moci had been sitting in the recliner pretending to be a vegetable, but hearing Su Xiyan's words, he couldn't help but chuckle inwardly.

Little girl, there's hidden meaning in these words; you're saying this to him because you still resent his earlier slip of the tongue.

Hearing Su Xiyan openly declare in front of all the servants that she is an illegitimate daughter made Yan Ningyue furious.

She sneered, "Su Xiwei! Don't get cocky!"

I came today just to look for my mother's necklace!

I've searched everywhere but couldn't find it! Now the only place left unchecked is your room!

Su Xiyan nodded seriously, "Oh, your mother's necklace? What does it look like?"

Yan Ningyue smiled smugly, "Hah, someone like you from a small family probably wouldn't even know."

That is a ruby necklace left by Louis XIV, made of 26 oval pigeon-blood Burmese rubies ranging from 1.27 to 5.38 carats, the most valuable ruby necklace in the world today.

Worth twenty thousand!

Su Xiyan doubted she heard correctly, "You said how much?"

Yan Ningyue proudly repeated, "Twenty thousand!"

Su Xiyan nodded, "Oh, so it's two."

Yan Ningyue gritted her teeth, "Su Xiwei! Don't play dumb! You definitely took the necklace!"

Now I'm going in to look for the necklace; if I find it, I'll definitely have grandfather kick you out as a thief!

"'Tsk,' Su Xiyan's face showed some impatience."

She coldly turned her head to look at Yan Ningyue, expressionless, and said, "Yan Ningyue, don't say I haven't seen the so-called necklace you mentioned."

Even if I saw it, a measly twenty-thousand necklace, I wouldn't even glance at it.

Sister-in-law, this is where I educate you,

Next time, when you look for an excuse, try to have a broader perspective.

Don't open your mouth unless it's tens or hundreds of billions; otherwise, people who don't know might think our Yan Family is about to collapse.

If a necklace worth over twenty million were lost, they'd wail all over the world as if some great disaster had happened; it wouldn't even be enough to lose face and value.

"'Pfft,' Dongzi and Liu Guanjia beside them couldn't help laughing."

"'You two servants dare to laugh at me!' Yan Ningyue, furious, let out a bitter laugh, 'Ha! Good! Good! I can see now that you servants of this old manor have all been bought off by that lowly Su Xiwei.'"

"I just don't know what shameless tactics that seductive vixen used to buy you off!"

Su Xiyan disdainfully curled her lips, "Yan Ningyue, have you heard this saying?"

If a person's heart is full of shit, everything they think and see is shit!

As a result, this person will become smelly.

Speaking, Su Xiyan affectedly twitched her nose, glanced at Yan Ningyue, and suddenly understood.

Only seeing Su Xiyan wave her hand in disgust, she said, 'Eh~ I said, since just now, how could I smell such a strong stench?'

It turns out it's you, Ningyue, who's giving off that smell.

Yan Ningyue was furious; when her peripheral vision caught something, she finally reacted.

Right, she still has her killer's mace!

Only seeing Yan Ningyue suddenly calm down, she sneered, 'Su Xiwei, you are indeed silver-tongued; my mother has always been gentle, no wonder she gets bullied by you.'

But this necklace is a birthday gift my father gave my mother; today I will definitely get it back no matter what!

Seeing that Yan Ningyue kept insisting on the necklace matter, Su Xiyan fell into thought.

It seems this Yan Ningyue comes with ill intent; if we don't settle the necklace matter today, she surely won't let it rest.

In that case, she wants to see exactly what Yan Ningyue is after.

Su Xiyan gave a noncommittal smile, 'But I really didn't take it.'

Seeing Su Xiyan take the bait, Yan Ningyue smiled smugly, 'Whether you took it or not, what you say doesn't count.'

If you really didn't take it, dare you let me come into your room to have a look?

Su Xiyan agreed openly, 'Sure.'

But seeing Yan Ningyue's determined look, Dongzi and Liu Guanjia's hearts were in their throats.

Only Yan Moci smiled confidently inside, even becoming curious.

Yanyan, if Yan Ningyue really finds the necklace, what would you do?

As expected, after Yan Ningyue's pretentious search,

Soon, she found an extraordinarily dazzling ruby necklace in the low cabinet.

'Su Xiwei! What else do you have to say now!'

Seeing Yan Ningyue's face reveal a triumphant and arrogant smile, everyone's hearts instantly rose.
