Chapter 479: 484 Isolated and Helpless_1

She couldn’t help but think to herself: Someone must be messing with her.

But who? Who was messing with her?

Qin Muchuan?

Lin Xiangwan thought of her husband who hadn’t returned home yet.

Cough, he wouldn’t dare to do that to her. If he really missed her, why hadn’t he returned home yet?

No, when he comes back, she must interrogate him thoroughly.

Just then, the butler came out of the main house and ran into the yard to inform Lin Xiangwan. "Miss, the old lady asks you to go to the Hall!"

Lin Xiangwan was puzzled. She didn’t understand why it couldn’t wait a bit longer and had to disturb the butler.

Also, the butler’s face looked worried. Xiangwan sensed that his concern was not trivial. "Butler, what’s the matter?"

But the butler didn’t know what to say. He could only whisper, "Miss, you better go back. When you return, you will know what happened!"

"Alright!"

Lin Xiangwan specifically instructed the kids to stay and play in the yard.

Her decision was the right one. She was greeted with a significant event in the Hall.

As soon as she stepped in, Xu Feng’e asked, "Xiangwan, have you seen the old lady’s jadeite buckle?"

Lin Xiangwan was taken aback, sensing the setup. "What jadeite buckle?"

"What jadeite buckle? I mean jadeite buckle, which is our family heirloom!" Xu Feng’e said.

Lin Xiangwan understood what Xu Feng’e was referring to. "Yes, it’s with me. What happened?"

Xu Feng’e widened her eyes and faced the elderly woman. "Mother, you heard it! She admits it!"

The old lady squinted her eyes at Lin Xiangwan, a hint of anger vaguely noticeable.

But she was still willing to give Lin Xiangwan a chance to explain. "Explain, how come it is with you!"

Xiangwan took a deep breath, facing the old lady’s gaze. "Grandmother, that jadeite buckle was given to me by you. When I was pregnant with Tongtong and Ranran, you said that my belly was promising, and when Muchuan came back, he would marry me, so you gave it to me. I didn’t want it at the time, but you didn’t allow me to refuse, insisting that I keep it!"

The old lady was silent and thoughtful, struggling to remember these details.

Xu Feng’e broke into a triumphant smile, mockingly said, "Wow, you really know how to exploit. If the old lady had really given it to you back then, why didn’t you present it when you returned to the Qin family? Why haven’t we heard you mention it before?"

Lin Xiangwan gave a cold look at Xu Feng’e. She knew for certain it was this old woman that was causing all the trouble. "Why, should I present it to you? Why should I explain it to you? The jadeite buckle was given to me by grandmother. It’s rightfully mine. Whether I want to present it or not is my own business!"

"Well, you’re really sharp-tongued. You’re quite the crafty one, exploiting details that grandmother can’t recall!" Xu Feng’e said, not believing it.

Lin Xiangwan looked at her grandmother. "Red is Jing Guo’s color. If grandmother wants the buckle, I will go upstairs and bring it down. Actually, I have been taking great care of this precious gift. I have been quite worried!"

The old lady didn’t say she wanted it back but rather responded, "Yes, bring it down, let me see!"

"Okay!" Lin Xiangwan nods, walking upstairs.

During this process, she felt pretty upset and wronged. How had she been accused of theft out of the blue?

She didn’t have time to wallow in her misery. She took down the jadeite buckle, carefully packed it in a small bag, and presented it to her grandmother.

The old lady examined the item that she had not seen for a long time. Looking at the delicate texture, milky color, and the heavy gloss, the longer she held it in her hand, the heavier she felt it was.

Lin Xiangwan, seeing the old lady’s excited look, couldn’t help but say, "Grandmother, this buckle was really given to me by you a long time ago, but if you still like it very much, I will return it!"

The old lady smiled, put the buckle back in the bag, and returned it to Lin Xiangwan’s hands. "Since this item has been with you, you can keep it!"

"Grandmother..."

The old woman smiled, "This item is meant to be passed down, and you are the eldest daughter-in-law of the Qin family, it’s reasonable to give you!"

Lin Xiangwan took it back. "Grandmother, I will take it as well, but can you trust me? I didn’t steal your stuff!"

Xu Feng’e laughed. "Xiangwan, the truth is right in front of us. How could the old lady have given such a valuable item to you just for surrogacy that year? Do you think the old lady is that confused? That you can exploit her lapse in memory freely?"

"It’s good that I know!" Lin Xiangwan remarked sternly.

"You know, of course you know how this item came about!"

Right in the middle of their dispute, Qin Muchuan walked in. "What has happened again? What has my wife done wrong, to be interrogated by you?"

Xu Feng’e was slightly startled, Muchuan’s voice was too cold. It was a hot day, but why did she shiver involuntarily?

The old lady was somewhat embarrassed and took a sip of her tea. "Nothing much!"

Xu Feng’e didn’t dare to speak anymore.

Lin Xiangwan looked at Muchuan, placing the jadeite buckle in his hand. "Aunt Xu claimed that I stole this from grandmother. Muchuan, you should know if I came here to steal!"

Qin Muchuan glanced at it. "She showed me this in my villa before. Grandmother, this item was given to her by you. Please don’t misunderstand my wife. She might have a hot temper, but there’s nothing wrong with her character. We can’t stoop to such petty theft. She has a black card, she can buy anything she wants, why would she need to steal this old antique? My wife’s style doesn’t even match this kind of thing, would she steal it for keepsakes?"

Lin Xiangwan, who had been feeling chilled inside, all of a sudden felt a warm comfort. She was so touched that tears were about to fall.

How isolated she was just a moment ago, but now someone was speaking up for her. She was overwhelmed with gratitude.

The old lady smiled. "When did I say she stole it? I just can’t remember, but I’m willing to trust Xiangwan!"

Muchuan was not satisfied with the old lady’s response. "If you trust her, why couldn’t you give her an affirmation? Why leave it ambiguous?"
