Chapter 910: 900 weapons (14) In the third watch of the night

The butler’s words were heard by everyone present.

Those who came from the Shen Residence today were no insignificant figures, and they had heard of the items listed by the butler, each one shocked by the revelation.

The South Sea Pearl mentioned was a fist-sized pink pearl, extremely precious.

This year, the envoys had presented them to the current Emperor, and hardly any had been seen outside, let alone others, even King Na found it exceedingly difficult to obtain a single South Sea Pearl.

Yet there were South Sea Pearls in Ye Shaohua’s courtyard?

Not to mention the South Sea Pearl, there were other valuable items as well; each one was the epitome of luxury, no wonder the butler was so astonished.

There were few people present who weren’t surprised.

The gift that Ye Shaohua gave to Lady Shen today was witnessed by all, a dark and unimpressive dagger.

Those present today, upon seeing the gift Ye Shaohua gave to Lady Shen, felt like laughing, but considering Ye Shaohua’s identity, they also found it understandable.

Having been adrift for five years and now an un-favored concubine of King Na, what good things could she possibly have?

Now, listening to the butler talk about the precious items in Ye Shaohua’s courtyard, the way these people looked at Ye Shaohua changed.

Having so many precious items yet not daring to present one to Lady Shen as a gift, she must be feeling guilty.

These goods must have come from dubious sources.

"Nonsense!" The old nurse always thought these things were sent by the Shen Residence and immediately spoke up, "These items were clearly sent by our Lady’s uncles to her!"

The butler looked at the old nurse coolly, with a half-mocking smile, "The items given to Young Lady all pass through my hands, I know better than you what the Shen Residence has sent to Young Lady, among those few precious items, not one was taken from the Shen Residence."

The old nurse was taken aback, completely unexpected.

She opened her mouth, "But... But you also did not find any missing items in my Lady’s house, right?"

"Who knows how many items you’ve stolen... Perhaps you’ve already sold them." The butler had always disliked Ye Shaohua, and now his prejudice against her grew even stronger, "Young Lady, I never imagined that after spending five years outside, you would become like this, if your parents were to know from beyond, they would surely feel shame for the Ye Family to have a descendant like you."

Ye Yanran also stood to the side, looking at Ye Shaohua in great surprise.

She also had not expected there would be so many precious items in Ye Shaohua’s courtyard.

Lady Shen’s father and mother did not want to believe that those items were taken by Ye Shaohua. They did not make a decision immediately, "Butler, the matter has not been clarified yet, do not jump to conclusions lightly, this is bad for Shaohua’s reputation."

After speaking, Lady Shen took Ye Shaohua’s hand in a gentle manner, "Shaohua, tell your aunt, did you take those items?"

"It wasn’t me," Ye Shaohua shook her head firmly at both Lady Shen and her father.

It was quite obvious that Lady Shen and her father breathed a sigh of relief, "It’s no surprise, these items must have been given to Shaohua by King Na."

"I didn’t expect the house to be this lively," a clear voice suddenly came from outside, Cheng Yan walked in slowly with his hands behind his back, "What has happened here?"

Mr. Shen naturally did not speak up, but it was Ye Yanyu who said with a smile, "We’re talking about how King Na gave my sister quite a few good items, even a South Sea Pearl."

King Na was taken aback for a moment, then immediately shook his head, "Even I can’t manage to get a single South Sea Pearl that my mother wishes for, how could I possibly have given her one?"

"The pearl was a gift from me," it was then that Shen Jiran suddenly spoke up.

Ye Shaohua was taken aback for a moment, not expecting Shen Jiran to speak up at this time; after all, what he had given her was a golden hairpin, not a pearl.

As she paused, Ye Yanyu’s mood certainly wasn’t great either.

She couldn’t understand why, when it was so clear that the items in Ye Shaohua’s courtyard had questionable origins, the Shen family would go to such lengths to protect her.

It wasn’t just Ye Yanyu, the butler and other remaining guests thought the same.

Cheng Yan now seemed to discern something from the situation, glancing at the people around he couldn’t help but ask.

Being a prince, nobody dared not to respond to his inquiries.

Immediately, a few people eager to please Cheng Yan stood out and replied.

Hearing these people’s words, Cheng Yan looked at Ye Shaohua in surprise; he had not expected her to even possess a South Sea Pearl.

Aside from the South Sea Pearl, the other items she had were all just as rare and valuable.

"Where on earth did you get these items?" King Na looked towards Ye Shaohua.

Amidst the suspicious gazes of the people around, Ye Shaohua spoke indifferently, "The South Sea Pearl wasn’t given by my cousin, nor were the other items gifts from anyone; I bought them myself."

However, her words were believed by no one; could a girl who had been adrift for five years on her own afford such invaluable items?

"Our Lady is the very Mr. Ye of the Imperial City widely spoken of; she has been crafting weapons for five years, but even she couldn’t afford so many items," the butler simply did not believe Ye Shaohua’s words. He disregarded the opinions of Mr. and Mrs. Shen and directly addressed Ye Shaohua, "Forgive my frankness, but you have been adrift these five years, and you yourself said you did not live well, so where did you get the money to buy these items? Let alone a South Sea Pearl, you probably couldn’t even afford an ordinary gold hairpin."

In their eyes, Ye Shaohua was just this type of person.

When the Ye Family fell, she was only thirteen years old. After five years adrift, the calluses on her hands showed how hard her life had been.

In their view, aside from her looks, Ye Shaohua truly had nothing—how could she have the money to buy so many precious items?

Even Cheng Yan’s face darkened, starting to doubt whether Ye Shaohua had also taken items from the Wang Residence.

Surrounded by growing doubt, the old nurse became somewhat panicked.

Yet Ye Shaohua remained completely calm, taking a step forward, "Since everyone wants to know where I got all these items from, let’s go to my courtyard and take a look."
