She was clearly indicating someone…
Helian Yue was the only person who could be trusted by General Manor to come and go as she wished!
Helian Yue was known as an evildoer, and people would not be surprised if it were her who stole the stone.
“Feng Lianyi, what do you mean by that?” Helian Yue pointed at Feng Lianyi’s face. “Make it clear to me. Who did you just say stole the stone?”
No matter how foolish Helian Yue was, this time, she could see that Feng Lianyi was trying to accuse her.
“I wasn’t talking about you, Sister Helian. I was just wondering why I still had it before I came to the banquet, but now it’s lost?” Feng Lianyi sneered. “Everyone arrived early, only you came late, making me wait here for a long time. That’s why I want to know why you were late.”
Feng Lianyi sneered. If it were not for this fool Helian Yue who was late following Feng Ruqing, she would not have been able to find any reason to accuse her.
Initially, the one she wanted to frame in this case was Feng Ruqing, but unfortunately, Feng Ruqing and her people could not even get in without permission. So, the only person who could get close to her was this fool, Helian Yue!
“Feng Lianyi!”
Helian Yue’s eyes were bloodshot, clearly enraged.
She had been accused in front of so many people like this, and anyone who was in her position would get angry.
Moreover, she was a young lady of the Helian family. Why did she have to steal something? Ridiculous!
The old housekeeper frowned. “Maiden Lianyi, could this be a misunderstanding? General will not trust people easily, and the fact that he accepted Young Lady Helian into General Manor proves that Young Lady Helian is not a bad girl.”
“Old Housekeeper…”
Feng Lianyi was exasperated, but her face looked calm. “Ask the people present what kind of person Helian Yue is. I don’t mean to attack her, but if Young Lady Helian is innocent, why not check inside her dress? And… Check her storage bag as well. Then, we will know the truth.”
She paused for a moment and continued, “After all, I’m not the kind of person who would deliberately accuse others. She hasn’t left this place. If we find nothing on her, it will prove her innocence.”
Qi Fang remained silent. His face was cold and sullen, not knowing what he was thinking.
The empress had long been displeased with Feng Lianyi. She slapped the table and said sternly, “How dare you, Feng Lianyi! Who permitted you to do body search in front of me?”
“That’s right, that’s right…” The little fatty snorted. “This little servant is getting bolder and bolder. How dare you do the body search to your master. Helian Yue is at least a noble young lady. Where do you get the guts to treat her like this.”
The word ‘servant’ that came out of the little fatty’s mouth made Feng Lianyi’s face darkened.
Just now, Helian Ying, who had been silent all this time, slowly opened her mouth.
“Sister, since Maiden Lianyi wants to prove your innocence, let her do it. I believe that you did not steal the stone.”
Feng Lianyi would not dare say this in front of so many people if she did not have any evidence.
Moreover, even if Helian Yue did not steal it, she would still be embarrassed by it!
Perhaps it was the thought of this that caused Helian Ying’s mouth to twitch with an imperceptible smile.
“Body search?” Helian Yue kicked the chair, put her hands on her hips, and said furiously, “I’m the young lady of the Helian family. Why should a servant do a body search on me?”
Feng Lianyi’s face was cold, her voice was filled with anger. “I am not a servant!”
