Chapter 909: Weapon 899 (13) second update

Meanwhile, a noblewoman who had visited the residence today had also lost an emerald bracelet.

Since Father Shen’s arrival in the back courtyard, such a major incident had occurred, and if not handled properly, it would be the Shen Family’s honor that was tarnished.

People from the Shen Family, both high and low, had all gathered here.

When Ye Shaohua arrived, almost everyone was already there. She couldn’t help but ask Lady Shen what had happened.

The Butler, seeing Ye Shaohua, naturally did not show a pleasant expression, "Please step aside, Young Lady."

Lady Shen patted Shaohua’s hand, signaling her not to worry, "You don’t need to worry about this matter; leave it to the Butler to handle."

Ye Shaohua nodded and said nothing more.

She merely sat beside Lady Shen, keeping her company while chatting with her group of close friends.

"We’re the butt of the joke," Lady Shen apologized to the group, and no one dared to say anything further, all indicating it was nothing serious.

It was only then that Ye Shaohua realized that quite a few valuable items had gone missing from the residence.

However, she felt it had little to do with her, so she didn’t pay much attention, simply sitting by Lady Shen’s side, accompanying her for tea.

Half an hour later, the Butler returned with a group of people.

Father Shen looked over with piercing eyes, "Well?"

The Butler had taken twenty people to search in turns; the estate had been sealed off in such a short time, so the items must still be within the estate.

The Butler bowed his head, respectfully saying, "My lord, we have searched every corner of the estate and have seen nothing, however..."

"However what?" Father Shen found it strange. There should have been something found. Seeing the Butler hesitate, he directly said, "Speak freely."

Only then did the Butler speak respectfully, "When I went to search the Young Lady’s courtyard, the servant boys and maids said that the belongings in her courtyard couldn’t be touched; they didn’t allow us to search."

Upon hearing the Butler’s words, most eyes in the crowd turned to look at Ye Shaohua.

Both Lady Shen and Father Shen were somewhat surprised; these maids were all from the Shen Residence, yet they didn’t expect them to be so devoted to Shaohua after just a few days with her.

However, both of them had no suspicions towards Ye Shaohua; their doubts were more likely about those who were unclean with their hands.

Ye Shaohua sipped tea with her eyes lowered, remaining silent.

Ye Yanyu watched her and narrowed her eyes, "Sister, it’s merely a matter of letting the Butler have a look to prove your innocence. It’s not important, and hiding the keys will inevitably arouse suspicion."

Shenmu had already noticed the suspicious glances.

Indeed, shielding one’s courtyard from inspection, even if Shaohua was innocent, would unavoidably cause criticism. She subconsciously looked at Shaohua.

Ye Shaohua glanced at Ye Yanyu, then set down her teacup, "It’s fine, go ahead and search. Just be careful with the items in the courtyard."

The Butler immediately had people carry out the search.

This time, because it was only Ye Shaohua’s courtyard, he returned quite fast.

There was a strange expression on his face, and anyone with clear eyesight could tell that his expression was somewhat off.

"What’s the matter?" Father Shen, seeing his demeanor, couldn’t help but lift his head.

"We didn’t find the missing items in the Young Lady’s residence, but," the Butler bowed, hesitating as if he had more to say, "My lord, there is one thing..."

Father Shen narrowed his eyes, "What is it? Speak."

The Butler immediately started, "Although we didn’t find the missing hairpin of the Lady, nor the bracelet lost by Lady Lin, we did find brocaded silk and South Sea Pearls in the Young Lady’s residence, both of which can only be found in the Palace, along with countless other rare items. And the gift that the Young Lady gave to the Lady today was just a common sword. Initially, when the Young Lady didn’t allow anyone to search her courtyard, I found it strange. Some of these things are only in the warehouse of the residence, invaluable, and considering the Young Lady’s past five years..."

"Young Lady, I must ask you, where did you get the money to buy all these things?"
