Chapter 382: Ancestral treasure, is it something that is very common on the street? !
Not all onlookers reacted in the same way.
Jiang Yingcheng, who knew the truth, not only did not say anything bad, but even said softly to support her: "No, don't be mean to Sister Ruihan..."
Ding Ruihan looked up with emotion.
The friendship of helping others in times of need is always extraordinarily precious. Although the previous meeting was not very pleasant, it was beyond her expectation that the little guy would speak up to defend her under such circumstances today.
The little guy is so cute, she must have misunderstood before -
Before Ding Ruihan could finish her sigh in her heart, Jiang Yingcheng crisply completed the second half of the sentence: "It's not easy for Sister Ruihan to save money in an environment like the Ding Mansion!"
The ministers present: “…” You didn’t let her go either!
Ding Ruihan: “…”
She was right, this was a "little devil"!
But she didn't have time to feel angry about it.
The surname Ding is not uncommon.
But if the Ding family is mentioned in Fengjin County, and combined with the jewelry she is wearing that looks very valuable, everyone will subconsciously think of the "Ding family".
Sure enough, hesitant voices were soon heard outside the government office.
"Is the Ding family... the Ding family I thought it was?"
"……should?"
If it weren't for the Ding family, why would the young prince say something like "that kind of environment"?
But if it was really the Ding family...how could this woman have any so-called heirloom? !
Ding Ruihan was so angry at this turn of events that she was shaking all over, but she didn't dare to utter even a word of rebuttal.
The identity of that little dumpling is someone she still needs to look up to even if she works hard all her life!
She could only cast a hopeful look at Zou Cailiang behind the desk and said in a trembling voice, "Sir, the receipt presented with the hairpin is the receipt I asked the store owner to write when I bought it. This is enough to prove that my treasure box was indeed stolen by a thief!"
Zou Cailiang only glanced at the words on the receipt casually and put it aside. Then, he raised his eyelids and looked at Ding Ruihan fiercely: "The store owner claimed that a mysterious person visited late at night and urgently needed money because of a sudden change in his family, so he wanted to sell this item at a low price?"
Ding Ruihan choked and almost blurted out: "You, you are..." How did you know about this?
Fortunately, the ability to read people's expressions that she had learned in the Ding Mansion made her stop before she could say anything. She changed the subject to: "Why do you think so?"
It wasn't entirely logical, but at least it made her feel better: "The shopkeeper claimed that he bought this item from a traveling merchant, but the seller never showed up again after that."
After saying this, Ding Ruihan quietly gestured behind him.
The speech she had arranged earlier was indeed just as Zou Cailiang said. Now that the script has been suddenly changed, someone has to inform her in advance.
Outside the government office, the maid who came with Ding Ruihan had a stern look in her eyes. She turned around and nimbly got out of the crowd, running quickly towards a small path.
She walked in a hurry and didn't notice two figures squeezing out with her and then silently following behind her.
The trial in the court is still going on.
Zou Cailiang took a deep breath and exhaled slowly: "Do you have any suspects?"
His family heirloom was hanging on that little girl's body, but he had to help the culprit get her treasure back. The more Zou Cailiang thought about it, the more aggrieved he felt, but he still had to keep smiling.
He was almost mad to death!
Unexpectedly, the moment he finished saying this, he saw Ding Ruihan quickly glance in the direction of Jiang Lifeng, and then bit her lower lip without saying a word, with a look of wanting to say something but stopping herself from saying it all over her body.
I feel wronged, but I dare not say it.
For some reason, Nie Wen caught the little princess's eye. Not only did he follow Emperor Mingze's team for several days, but now he could even hug her intimately!
Jiang Lifeng: “…”
Oh my, this wave is actually coming towards me!
Seeing this, Zou Cailiang smiled slowly.
He finally became interested, pointed at the distinguished young prince of Nanyang Palace, and said hesitantly, "Do you suspect him?"
Thinking back to the day when the little prince and princess teamed up to make him unable to claim the family heirloom right before his eyes, Zou Cailiang felt a sense of revenge and asked again, "Do you really doubt him?"
Ding Ruihan sobbed aggrievedly: "My Lord, I have carefully recalled everything that has happened in the past few days and found that I have only had disputes with this person recently..."
That was another reason why she was so eager.
After returning home that day, the more she thought about it, the more she felt something was wrong.
She clearly remembered that when she boarded Emperor Mingze's pleasure boat, she had seen a purse hanging around her waist, so the purse must have been lost on that boat.
Among all the people on the ship, only Nie Wen had ever had a brief unpleasant experience with her.
It must be him who did it!
However, the matter of Ding Mansion is about to come to an end, and Nie Wen might leave with Emperor Mingze and his entourage. If she lets him flee far away, she will never be able to find any trace of him again!
The crying voice stopped here at the right moment. If it had not been for the previous farce, just based on her pitiful appearance with tears in her eyes, people would subconsciously believe what she said.
But these words still made everyone involuntarily shift their attention to Jiang Lifeng.
Jiang Lifeng faced the various looks from the crowd, leaned back leisurely, and smiled: "Do you doubt me?"
Things are different now. He has the little guy protecting him now. How dare you doubt him? !
He glanced at Ding Ruihan meaningfully, and then fell on the little guy in his arms.
It's up to you! The most powerful cheat!
The strongest plug-in Jiang Yingcheng has read all the contents of Ding Ruihan's plan and is almost convinced by this ingenious plan.
[Wow! No wonder Sister Rui Han was able to reach the highest level in such a treacherous environment like the Ding Mansion. The meticulousness of this plan is much better than that of the previous couple! ]
[Sister Rui Han hired several news dealers in advance and spread a story about a "heartless man playing with a woman's feelings, but after they broke up, he felt that his money was not worth it, so he sneaked into her house and stole jewelry and money in order to make up for his investment", trying to make everyone think that Brother Li Feng would play the role of the heartless man...]
[She also sent Brother Li Feng’s portrait to the bribed shops in advance, hoping that they would be able to accurately describe Brother Li Feng’s appearance before they saw him, hiss——]
[Also, she secretly wrote down the style of the pendant that Brother Li Feng had worn, and wanted to claim that the pendant was her lost treasure...]
In ancient times, there was a lack of means to handle cases, and coupled with the cooperative relationship between the Ding family and Zou Cailiang, these three tricks alone were enough to almost catch the criminal red-handed!
[This is to forcibly beat my brother Li Feng into a criminal! ]
This is not possible!
Jiang Lifeng glanced at Ding Ruihan with a cold look, and his mind automatically formed the miserable life that he might have to face if he failed to meet the little guy on this trip.
The hands hidden under the wide sleeves tightly grasped the armrests of the armchair, with such force that the fingertips seemed transparent.
This is too much, this is simply——
[But... my brother Li Feng also lost such a precious jade pendant, and so many people in the Ding Mansion have seen it! ]
Jiang Lifeng was stunned.
Lost...the jade pendant?
He glanced at his waist with a confused look.
The place was empty. The pendant that was originally hanging there had been secretly taken down by the little guy at some point, and a wooden carved pendant of a little tiger was hung instead.
Why did he lose...
"!!!"
He got it!
Jiang Lifeng lowered his eyes to hide the interest in his eyes, and when he looked up again, his face was filled with sorrow.
"Master Zou!" Jiang Lifeng said loudly, "Since we have come to this point, I also have a matter that needs your review!"
"I have a jade pendant passed down from my ancestors, which I lost a few months ago. I hope you can help me find it!"
It hits the ground with a loud sound and the echo lasts forever.
Successfully pushed the situation to an even more embarrassing situation.
Zou Cailiang: "..."
Onlookers: "..."
An heirloom, is it something that is so common in the street?!
