Chapter 122 You Forgive Her
Shen Lan looked at Zhao Yue's pale face, shook his head and sighed: "No wonder you bumped into me on purpose, it turned out you wanted to take the opportunity to put the jade bracelet in my pocket."
"You said you cherished the coming-of-age gift given by the old lady? Is that how you cherish it? You used the gift given by the old lady to frame someone else. Is that how you treat the kindness of your elders?"
Her face was serious and tense, and her questions were loud and clear.
Zhao Yue was filled with fear. Her muscles trembled uncontrollably. Her face was pale and she stammered, "Grandma, that's not the case. I didn't do that. I didn't frame her. She's the one who's talking nonsense. She's the one who's framing me."
Zhao Yue choked up as she spoke, tears welling up in her eyes. She leaned towards the old lady and said, "Grandma, you raised me. I wouldn't do such a thing..."
Before he finished speaking, Shen Lan said slowly: "You can know a person's face but not his heart. Isn't that what you just said?"
Zhao Yue was speechless and glared at Shen Lan implicitly.
When he looked at the old lady, his expression became aggrieved again: "That's not the case..."
"Then tell me, what happened?" The old lady who had been silent suddenly spoke, her eyelids slightly raised, and there was a gleam in her eyes that seemed to see through everything.
Zhao Yue was stunned for a moment, her lips trembling slightly: "Yes, it must be Shen Lan who hid my bracelet, causing me to panic... She deliberately used tissues to lead me to misunderstanding..."
At this moment, a weak voice suddenly came: "Ms. Zhao, the bracelet has been found."
Zhao Yue quickly looked over and found that the person who spoke was a maid from the Xiao family.
"Where did you find it?"
The maid was startled by Zhao Yue's sudden fierce look. She shrank her neck and whispered, "It's on the ground at the kitchen door, against the wall."
Shen Lan sneered: "You didn't even look carefully, and you came at me."
She placed the jade bracelet in a place that wasn't very conspicuous, but it was easy to find if you really wanted to.
But Zhao Yue was too lazy to even look for her, and she came straight to her without any pretense. Her purpose should not be too clear, and her thoughts should not be too obvious.
The old lady glanced at Zhao Yue calmly and said, "Didn't you say you'd searched everywhere?"
Zhao Yue was so anxious that sweat broke out on his forehead. His head was buzzing and he couldn't even think of any excuse.
Butler Zhao sighed and walked over to pull Zhao Yue over: "Yueyue, don't say anything. Apologize to Miss Shen. You are wrong about this."
After he finished speaking, he looked at Shen Lan, his face full of guilt, his wrinkles squeezed together, and he looked like he had aged ten years.
"Ms. Shen, Yueyue has been without a mother since she was a child. She was injured before and her health is not good. I have spoiled her too much over the years and distorted her personality. You have been wronged today, and I apologize to you on her behalf."
Shen Lan turned aside to avoid him and said in a cold voice: "She did it, why are you apologizing?"
Butler Zhao froze, wiped his face, and continued, "Before, she was the only girl in the Xiao family. The old lady and the young master were kind and doted on her. Perhaps your appearance made her feel threatened, so she did something so outrageous. In fact, she didn't mean any harm, it was just a child's possessiveness..."
When Shen Lan heard this, he almost clapped his hands in applause.
Butler Zhao is the real old fox. He made a big deal out of a small matter with just a few words, and he wanted to make a small matter disappear, and at the same time, he morally blackmailed her.
This sounds fine at first, but if you think about it carefully, doesn't it mean that she is a latecomer who suddenly appears, a Cheng Yaojin who comes out to kill, and the mistress who steals someone else's love!
"Butler Zhao is indeed a loving father who loves his daughter. This excuse is really good, and he has so many words to say. But no matter how much he says, she framed me for stealing, and it's true. Her ill will towards me is also true. What I said is right, right?"
Butler Zhao's expression froze. He held Zhao Yue at a loss, and finally looked at Xiao Yun pleadingly.
He knew in his heart that the person with the most influence here was Xiao Yun, and it was also Xiao Yun who could make Shen Lan give up pursuing the matter.
Xiao Yun looked at Butler Zhao's eyes, which were full of fatigue and pleading, and pursed his thin lips.
Shen Lan also looked at Xiao Yun.
She still had some confidence in Xiao Yun. He was always fair in this regard and was a man who clearly distinguished between rewards and punishments.
Besides, the two of them already had such a close relationship, and she was the victim, so Xiao Yun should stand on her side...
Just as he was thinking, Shen Lan heard Xiao Yun's low and mellow voice.
"Shen Lan, I'll let Zhao Yue apologize to you. If you forgive her, this matter will be over."
Shen Lan's expression was instantly blank, and there seemed to be an empty corner in his heart. Countless cold winds rushed in, and his ears were filled with whistling sounds. Only the words "you forgive her" were extremely clear.
