Shen Yue hummed, nodded slightly, raised the embroidered handkerchief to wipe away the tears squeezed out of the corners of her eyes, and stood aside.
The maid over there quickly put the food on the table and came over to treat everyone to a meal.
The eldest lady smiled and said, "Everyone, let's eat first.
If you have any questions, we can wait until after eating to talk about anything."
Just like that, everyone took their seats and started eating and drinking.
Shen Yue's table was no less lively than yesterday, and even a little too quiet.
Shen Qi is so popular today, it can be said that she is crushing Shen Yao.
Shen Yao is annoyed and doesn't want to talk to her at all.
She doesn't talk.
Shen Xiu and Shen Ke can chat with Shen Qi, which makes her unhappy.
Sitting next to Shen Qi was Shen Shan, the concubine of the second wife's family.
She was just a little younger, just ten years old, and she was a concubine.
Shen Qi was not willing to talk to her at all.
Shen Shan also knew what was going on, so she just bowed her head and ate obediently.
Shen Yue lost her gold bracelet and was in a bad mood.
It was normal for her not to want to talk.
Shen Yao, Shen Xiu, and Shen Ke were chatting happily, but Shen Qi seemed much lonely.
She is also very strong-willed.
She doesn't talk to her, and she doesn't even bother to look at her.
She still wants her to take the initiative to speak.
Shen Qi rolled his eyes and gave Shen Yue a chopstick to eat, and then said with concern, "Sister, don't worry too much.
The old lady asked the maid to check, and she will definitely find it.
You should eat more.
You have to go to the palace tomorrow.
How can you look so haggard?"
Then, he said curiously, "The emperor is full of praise for your inscription, and I don't know what he will reward you."
Before Shen Yue could speak, Shen Yao couldn't hold it in any longer, "Can there be anything wrong with what the Emperor has given me?"
The smile on Shen Qi's lips was filled with pride.
He thought she could endure it, but that was all.
As soon as she was proud, Shen Yao knew that she had brought this up on purpose to get her to talk.
Her neck felt thick and she began to gnash her teeth.
After this little episode, everyone stopped talking until the dinner was over.
The maid here took the food away, and Ruan Rou helped the old lady sit down.
Cousin-aunt Qin was not here, and she returned home not long after Shen Yue returned to Chenxiang Garden.
After the old lady sat down, she looked at Yi Cui who was standing aside, "I found the gold bracelet."
Yicui entered the room before she had half a cup of tea, but everyone was eating, so she couldn't come forward to reply, so she waited aside.
Now the old lady asked, she stepped forward and replied, "The slave and Hexiang went to Chenxiang Garden.
They searched all over the eldest girl's house, but they couldn't find the gold bracelet.
So the servant took it upon herself to make the decision and took the maid inside and outside of Chenxiang Garden.
I searched all over and still couldn’t find it.”
After hearing this, Shen Jun said, "Everyone has checked."
Yicui said, "All the maids in the yard have been checked, including Yan's mother's house, but Yan's mother has left the house."
"She's out of the house."
The old lady frowned, "She is in charge of Chenxiang Garden.
If she doesn't stay in Chenxiang Garden, what will she do out of the house?"

Shen Yue said, "Mama Yan's son has given her a fat grandson.
He has been ill recently and has been taking medicine.
People who are worried about this by Yan's mother have lost weight several times.
Usually there is not much in Chenxiang Garden, so She stayed home at night and went back to the house the next morning.”
"Her job is really leisurely."
The eldest lady immediately snorted coldly.
During the day, she had just told her not to run out of the house if she had nothing to do.
She was so happy when she responded, but she didn't expect to turn around and turn a deaf ear to her words.
After hearing this, Shen Yue said, "It's human nature for Mama Yan to care about her grandson.
It's enough for me to have Zisu and the others to take care of her."
After hearing this, the second wife raised a smile and said, "The eldest girl is kind-hearted.
Since Yan's mother sold herself to the Shen family, she belongs to the Shen family.
It is her responsibility to take good care of the master.
How can she leave the master without taking care of her?
If you go back to take care of your grandson, you just have to go back every now and then to check on her.
It’s not like she doesn’t have a daughter-in-law, so her grandson can’t live without her. " After the second wife finished speaking, Yicui took out an embroidered handkerchief from her arms, with a few orchids embroidered on it.
Shen Yue looked at it and said, "That seems to be my embroidered handkerchief."
Zisu walked over, looked at it carefully, and said, "It belongs to a girl."
Yicui said, "I found this under Mama Yan's pillow.
The eldest lady would not give such an embroidered handkerchief to Mama Yan.
I have asked about it.
Today, Mama Yan has entered the eldest lady's inner room, so I will give it to you."
He Xiang left the house to look for her. " Yicui knew very well that Yan's mother belonged to the eldest lady, and she was out of the house.
Without any evidence, she could not doubt Yan's mother casually, especially when they mobilized troops to find her at night.
Shen Yue looked at Zi Su.
Zi Su shook her head.
She didn't put up the embroidered handkerchief, and it probably wasn't Pinellia ternata.
If she put up the handkerchief, she would definitely tell her.
Shen Yue was relieved.
She looked at the embroidered handkerchief and raised the corners of her mouth, which saved her from pointing the finger at Yan's mother.
If the handkerchief was stolen, Yicui would naturally doubt her.
Now that Chenxiang Garden has been searched all over, only Yan's mother is left.
There is no other choice but to wait.
Usually after dinner, everyone would go back within half a cup of tea.
Today, not one of them left.
About a quarter of an hour later, He Xiang came back.
In addition to her, there is also Yan’s mother.
As soon as she entered the room, she knelt down with a thump, making a loud bang on the bluestone floor.
She cried out urgently, "It's unfair, I didn't steal the eldest girl's gold bracelet."
Hexiang stepped forward, unfolded the embroidered handkerchief in her hand, revealing a golden bracelet, and said, "When I took people to find Yan's mother, she was showing off to her daughter-in-law, saying that she was devoted to the eldest girl.
This golden bracelet is The eldest girl gave it to her."
After hearing this, Yan's mother nodded repeatedly and said, "This gold bracelet was given to me by the girl as a reward.
Today, Zisu and the other maids have all received the reward.
The girl feels pity for me and the servant has served her with all my heart.
My grandson is sick again and needs money." , I have given this gold bracelet to my slave, please take a closer look, Madam."

Yan's mother was so anxious that she was sweating profusely and felt extremely regretful.
She shouldn't be tempted by wealth, and she didn't expect that the eldest girl would be so anxious after losing her bracelet.
She also planned to sell the bracelet for money early tomorrow morning.
She was too careless, and took the money to Son, accidentally let him see the gold bracelet.
When the eldest lady heard this, she looked at Shen Yue and said with a confused look, "Since the bracelet was given to Yan's mother, why did she say it was lost?"
Shen Yue looked at Yan's mother, "When did I reward you with the bracelet?
Didn't I reward you with two taels and five cents of silver?"
Yan's mother immediately affirmed, "Girl, you gave this to this slave.
Have you forgotten?"
Shen Yue sneered, "My memory is not that bad.
I just picked out this gold bracelet in the Beauty Hall today.
It weighs two ounces.
Because I like it, I even had an extra ounce of silver for the beauty.
The Tang Dynasty engraved a Yue character on the bracelet for me.
How could I reward you with this gold bracelet?
If it hadn’t been for the engraved character, how could I have been so ignorant and made such a fuss even though I knew it was a family dinner today?”
