Shen Qingyin also knew about Qin Jinshu.

She is the only daughter of Prince An and the niece of the current emperor.

However, she had never seen it.

Before the emperor passed away in the previous life, in order to pave the way for Qin Yueze, he sent the two princes, Prince An and Prince Ning, and their families to their fiefdoms.

However, she had no idea what happened to Princess Jinshu later...

Qin Jinshu was obviously familiar with Madam Mu. After greeting her, she sat down next to her.

"Oh, it's only been a few days since I last saw you, and Princess Jinshu has become even more beautiful and charming." Someone soon started to praise her.

"Look at this little face, it's as good as the fairies in the sky!" someone else continued to praise.

"That's right, Princess Jinshu is truly a natural beauty..."

Hearing these compliments, Qin Jinshu smiled with a proud look on her face.

She is absolutely confident in her appearance, and she really likes to hear these words.

But she soon discovered that Madam Mu, who was closest to her, seemed a little absent-minded. Not only did she not praise her at all, but she also looked away intentionally or unintentionally.

Qin Jinshu curiously followed Madam Mu's gaze and her smile froze on her face...

She was naturally pleased with the compliments from others, but she was not blind. The appearance and figure of the woman in front of her were obviously superior to hers... No wonder she could firmly attract the attention of Mrs. Mu...

"Okay, everyone is almost here, let's go to the garden and take a look. Now that the sky has cleared after the snow, the plum blossoms are just beginning to bloom, it's a good time to enjoy them."

After some ladies and young ladies arrived one after another, the eldest princess stood up and walked in front with Madam Mu, followed closely by Qin Jinshu, and walked out of the warm hall.

The rest of the people also stood up and followed him out of the warm hall.

As soon as Mrs. Du went out, she looked around and it was obvious that she was looking for Shen Rongyue.

"Oh, how come Yue'er has been gone for so long and hasn't come back? Mom, go look for her!"

Mrs. Du turned around and went to look for Shen Rongyue.

Shen Qingyin followed with Fan'er at the back of the crowd.

Madam Mu and the eldest princess were always surrounded by a group of people, and she didn't even have the chance to talk to them.

Even if there is, it would not be appropriate to approach rashly.

However, when it comes to poetry about appreciating plum blossoms, she is prepared...

"Hey, where is my jade pendant? I was clearly wearing it, how come it disappeared?"

Just as the eldest princess was chatting and laughing with others while admiring a red plum blossom, Qin Jinshu suddenly screamed.

When they heard that the princess had lost something, everyone subconsciously lowered their heads to look for it on the ground, but there was obviously nothing on the clean gravel road.

"That was a reward from the Queen a few days ago. We can't lose it!" Qin Jinshu looked anxious.

The princess stopped smiling when she heard this and ordered, "Go to the road we just walked on and search carefully!"

Immediately, several maids agreed to go back and look for it.

But after searching for several times, there was no trace of the jade pendant.

I had no choice but to go back to the warm room and search it inside and out, but still couldn't find it.

"Could it be that someone picked it up and hid it? Otherwise, how could they lose it when they walked only a short distance?" Qin Jinshu guessed.

This statement received an immediate response.

"Yes, yes, that's possible. We just walked a short distance and the road is clean and gravel-covered. If it falls on the ground and no one picks it up, it should be easy to see."

"That's right. If it was lost in the warm hall, it would be impossible to find it, unless someone hid it..."

At this point, almost everyone agreed that someone must have picked it up and smuggled it away.

"But who would pick up the hidden goods?" The eldest princess frowned slightly.

"Yes, those who came today are all family members of important officials in the court. If someone picked it up, it would definitely not be kept privately." said a fat lady.

Which one of them is not used to seeing good things?

Even if it is a reward from the royal family, they also have it!

How could he hide something?

This is seriously inconsistent with their identities!

"Could it be a servant?" someone else guessed.

However, this speculation was immediately interrupted by Qin Jinshu.

"Impossible! The servants in the Princess's Mansion were all trained by my aunt. They have always followed the rules and never made mistakes. As for the servants brought by the ladies, I believe they don't have the guts to play tricks in my aunt's garden!"

"But, there is no one else here?" The fat lady looked confused.

"No one else? Not necessarily! This lady looks very unfamiliar to me. I have never seen her before."

Qin Jinshu suddenly turned around and pointed at Shen Qingyin behind the crowd and said.

Everyone was stunned and looked at Shen Qingyin.

"Miss, have you seen my jade pendant?" Qin Jinshu asked in a compelling tone.

Shen Qingyin, who was listening to everyone's conversation, was a little surprised when he saw Qin Jinshu suddenly pointing the finger at him.

She shook her head and said, "I have never seen the princess' jade pendant."

"Didn't you see it? But you were following us just now, and you were the last one to come out of the warming room. Among all the people present, you are the only one who is most likely to have picked up something without being noticed!"

Qin Jinshu glanced at the grass bead bracelet on Shen Qingyin's wrist with contempt, and said sarcastically: "A lady who can wear such a shabby thing on her hand must be very short of money, right?"

This serious analysis seems to make a lot of sense.

Everyone looked at Shen Qingyin with suspicion.

"Just take out the things obediently, and I won't bother with you today!" Qin Jinshu said again pretending to be magnanimous.

It seemed that it had been confirmed that the jade pendant was taken by Shen Qingyin.

"Princess, I have really never seen your jade pendant." Shen Qingyin said again.

Qin Jinshu snorted coldly: "Really you haven't seen it? Then let someone search you to prove your innocence!"

At this point, Shen Qingyin could naturally see it.

The princess's intention to look for the jade pendant today was probably fake, and her real intention was to humiliate herself in public.

In her previous life in the palace, she was accustomed to the intrigues and calculations between women, but all of them were due to the involvement of vested interests.

However, Qin Jinshu and I had no grudges in the past or today, and it was just our first meeting. It was hard to imagine why she wanted to make things difficult for me...

But no matter why, this method is not really clever.

But he just relied on his noble status to bully me.

"Someone come here!" Qin Jinshu called her maid.

"Search her!"

The two maids walked up to Shen Qingyin in two or three steps and began to search him in public.

Fen'er quickly stood in front and knelt down with a plop: "My Lady, please understand. I have been with my Lady the whole time. She has never seen your jade pendant, let alone kept it for herself!"

How could Qin Jinshu listen to Fan'er's words?

"I forgot that there is a maid. Then search both the master and the servant together!"

The two maids agreed and held Fan'er down, and began to search her body while talking.

The princess opened her mouth to speak, but was silenced by Madam Mu beside her.

"Wait!" Shen Qingyin stepped forward and said.
