Chapter 7 Our house was robbed

After lunch, Song Shiwei and Shen Linchuan left the Cheng'en Marquis' Mansion.

As he got on the carriage, Shen Linchuan's face suddenly turned cold.

Song Shiwei asked with concern: "Husband, father scolded you.

It's all my fault. If your husband had married my sister, you wouldn't have to suffer this humiliation."

She sighed and said, "When I went to see mother, I heard that my sister was going to discuss marriage with the prince of Yongning Marquis's mansion.

So my husband, you must strive to be the best. As long as you pass the imperial examination and become the top scholar, no one will look down on you. "

As Shen Linchuan heard this, his expression became even gloomier.

I think their Shen family was once a famous wealthy family in Qingzhou Prefecture.

If his father had not died unexpectedly, his uncles would not have bullied them, an orphan and a widow, embezzled the Shen family's property, and drove them out, and he would not have been so inferior to others.

One day, he will trample under his feet all those who look down on him.

After returning to the Shen family, Shen Linchuan went to the study to review his lessons.

Song Shiwei returned to the room, but there was no sign of Cailian.

Before she got married, she brought two maids as a dowry, one named Cailian and the other Chuntao, both of whom were sent by Zhou.

These two people have always looked down on her. They are respectful to her in front of others, but they are hypocritical and do not do things carefully behind her back. They always find ways to shirk their responsibilities.

In her previous life, she knew that they were resentful of her for following her, so she turned a blind eye and let them do as they pleased.

Now that she has been reborn, she can no longer allow them to act lawlessly.

When she returned home today, she brought Chuntao with her and left Cailian at the Shen family, instructing her to keep an eye on the yard and not let anyone in.

It seemed that Cai Lian didn't listen to her at all and she didn't know where she went to hide away.

Song Shiwei walked into the room, glanced around, and finally her eyes fell on her dressing table.

Sure enough, one piece of jewelry was missing from her dressing table.

She curled her lips, and then she heard footsteps behind her, followed by Cai Lian's voice: "Madam, you are back."

Song Shiwei turned around and looked at her and asked, "Has anyone come here when I was away?"

Cai Lian walked over with a guilty conscience and poured tea for Song Shiwei, saying, "No, I was here the whole time. I just left for a while because I had to go to the bathroom."

She handed the tea to Song Shiwei.

Song Shiwei reached out to take it, then threw the cup onto the table and said, "Since you have been guarding it, how come a jade bracelet on my dressing table is missing?"

Cai Lian was startled and subconsciously looked towards the dressing table, looking a little surprised: "Madam's jade bracelet is lost?"

She reacted and waved her hands, saying, "Madam, I didn't steal it. I...I lied."

Cai Lian knelt on the ground with a plop and said, "After Madam left, I felt bored staying in the yard so I went for a walk on the street. I really didn't steal your things."

Song Shiwei naturally knew that the jade bracelet was not stolen by Cai Lian.

Although the rules of the Cheng'en Marquis' Mansion are very strict, they are very generous to their servants. Even the aristocratic families in the capital cannot compare to them. Countless people have been scrambling to get into the Cheng'en Marquis' Mansion.

Cai Lian's indenture contract is still in the Cheng'enbo Mansion. If she is dishonest and steals things from the mistress, she will be sold.

She's not that stupid.

Song Shiwei asked her: "So you don't know who has been to my room?"

Cai Lian suddenly remembered something and said hurriedly, "When I left, I saw Miss Shen. I wonder if she was here?"

Song Shiwei slammed the table and said, "You mean Suyun stole my things?

She is the lady of this mansion and my sister-in-law, how could she do such a thing?"

She stood up and said solemnly, "I think there must be a thief in our house. I have to tell my mother and ask her to report it to the police.

Chuntao, go to the study and ask your husband to go to your mother.

Cailian, please stay and check my trousseau jewelry carefully to see if there is anything missing."

After giving them instructions, Song Shiwei came to Tongyuan where Old Madam Shen lived.

Shen Suyun was there too, admiring the translucent white jade bracelet on her wrist.

Seeing Song Shiwei come in, she quickly put down her hands and pulled her sleeves.

Song Shiwei retracted her gaze and walked over quickly, saying, "Mother, something bad has happened. Our house has been robbed, and a jade bracelet has been lost from my jewelry."

Madam Shen frowned and said, "It's just a jade bracelet, why make such a fuss?

Maybe you forgot where you put it, so go back and look for it carefully."

Song Shiwei said: "I have searched everywhere. This jade bracelet is a relic left to me by my mother. It is my wish. I can't just throw it away like this."

She turned around and asked Shen Suyun: "Sister, have you seen my jade bracelet?"

Shen Suyun avoided her gaze in a panic and snorted, "Why are you asking me if your things are lost?"

Song Shiwei said: "I have to ask about matters involving human life.

If it was really your sister who took it, just give it back to me. We are all family, how can I blame you?"

"What do you mean?"

Shen Suyun stood up and asked, "Are you suspecting that I stole your things?"

As she spoke, she hugged Old Madam Shen's arm in a coquettish manner, stamped her feet and said, "Mother, look at what she said.

She lost something but now she suspects me, what does she think of our Shen family?"

Madam Shen patted Shen Suyun's arm, then angrily asked Song Shiwei, "Song, what do you mean by this?"

Song Shiwei had never seen such a shameless person.

She looked at the bracelet hanging on Shen Suyun's wrist, pointed at it and said, "Mother, it's right there on her hand. What do you think it means?"

Shen Suyun subconsciously grasped her wrist, then raised her head and said, "This is mine, how did it become yours?"

Madam Shen also said: "I think you have misunderstood, this bracelet is a gift from me to Suyun.

This person has similarities and things in common, so it is understandable that you made a mistake.

But you have wrongly accused Suyun without any evidence and you should apologize to her.

After all, this girl's reputation is very important, and you cannot slander her."

Shen Suyun raised her head with an arrogant and complacent look.

So what if she got the jade bracelet from Song Shiwei? If she says it's hers, then it's hers!

Not to mention a jade bracelet, everything Song Shiwei has belongs to the Shen family.

Song Shiwei brushed the hair from her forehead and asked, "Mother, are you sure that this jade bracelet was given to Suyun by you, and not the one I lost?"

Madam Shen said: "That's natural."

As they were talking, Shen Linchuan came in.

Seeing this, Shen Suyun ran over and held Shen Linchuan's arm and said, "Second brother, you came at the right time, please take care of your wife.

She lost a jade bracelet but suspected that I stole it, even though the one on my hand was clearly given to me by my mother.

My second brother was there at the time, you can prove it for me, right?"
