It was supposed to be a hearty French meal, but before they even finished the appetizers, the meal was abruptly stopped because the Gu family’s Young Madam, Fang Hua, had lost her ring. Gu Zhiqian’s new wife, Guan Meiyi, was suspected. Now, everyone’s eyes were on Fang Hua and Guan Meiyi.
Fang Hua pointed at a maid and said, “Go search her!”
Guan Meiyi stood up from her seat and spread her arms out as she said, “Come and search me. Search me carefully.”
Old Master Gu looked at Guan Meiyi’s attitude and looked at Fang Hua. “Are you sure you lost your ring?”
Fang Hua didn’t understand why asked that. She nodded and said, “I’m sure!”
Old Master Gu looked at Fang Hua meaningfully and said, “You’d better not be playing petty tricks at this time.”
Hearing Old Master Gu’s warning, Fang Hua’s body trembled and she said, “Grandfather, what are you saying? Since I lost my ring, shouldn’t I look for it? That’s the ring that symbolizes that I’m the matriarch of the Gu family, so how can I lose it? Moreover, I feel that if this ring was really taken by Guan Meiyi, then she probably didn’t take a fancy to the value of that ring, but rather the status of that ring.”
Hearing Fang Hua’s words, Old Master Gu’s eyes darkened. What did she mean? Could it be that Gu Zhiqian was coveting the position of the head of the household? Or was it that Guan Meiyi had impure thoughts and wanted to be the head of the household?
Thinking of this, Old Master Gu directly pointed at the maid that Fang Hua had pointed at just now. “Search carefully, and do a thorough search!”
Hearing Old Master Gu’s words, the maid nodded and slowly walked towards Guan Meiyi. However, she was shocked by Gu Zhiqian’s exceedingly cold gaze. The maid composed herself and reached out her hand towards Guan Meiyi to carefully search her body.
Fang Hua watched with confidence and waited for the moment when the ring would be found on Guan Meiyi’s body.
Guan Meiyi, I’ll see how you explain why the ring is on your body! I will let you know that you’re a piece of trash that I can do whatever I want with!
Gu Zhiqian looked up at Guan Meiyi. He believed in Guan Meiyi, he just didn’t want Guan Meiyi to suffer like this. But under such circ.u.mstances, a body search was indeed the best way to prove her innocence.
In fact, according to Gu Zhiqian’s usual M.O., he could completely ignore these people and just leave with Guan Meiyi.
However, if that was the case, these people would have something against her. He didn’t care what these people said about him, but he did care what these people said about Guan Meiyi.
However, looking at Fang Hua’s expression, Gu Zhiqian was a little anxious. Guan Meiyi definitely wouldn’t take that shabby ring, but that didn’t mean that Fang Hua wouldn’t frame her.
The maid searched Guan Meiyi’s body carefully and then said truthfully, “I didn’t find the ring.”
Hearing the maid’s words, everyone present was shocked. Fang Hua’s facial expression immediately changed and she said, “You’re talking nonsense! How could it not be on her body!”
Guan Meiyi looked at Fang Hua and sneered, “Sister-in-law’s words are so interesting. It’s as if you were sure that the ring is on my body. Why? Did you put that ring on my body with your own hands?”
“You… are being unreasonable!” Fang Hua’s face was pale. Although she didn’t put the ring on her, she had arranged for someone to put it on her. He had already said that it was on her body, so why wasn’t it on her body now.
Fang Hua subconsciously looked at Butler Xu, who wasn’t far away. At this time, Butler Xu was also shocked and had a puzzled look on his face.
