Before she could say anything, she heard several women nearby saying, "Oh, Madam, please don't worry about it. The little maid didn't do it on purpose."

"Yes, today is the Fourth Prince's big day. We can't cause trouble here, or we'll embarrass our family."

Rong Xi looked at the two women who were talking, with a cold murderous look in his eyes, which scared the two women so much that they shut up instantly.

The people around him didn't expect that the Wuding Marquis family would be like this. Those who originally wanted to intervene did not dare to say anything now.

Just as they said, today is the Fourth Prince's wedding banquet, and anyone who causes trouble will only bring trouble to their own family.

"Take me to change clothes." Rong Xi said to the little maid who was still begging for mercy on the ground.

"Yes, yes, ma'am, please follow me."

Old Madam Xiao was a little worried. She always felt that something was wrong with what happened today, but she hadn't figured out exactly what it was.

The maid brought Rong Xi to a side room, which was specially prepared for guests.

As soon as she entered, Rong Xi saw several women. She had just met these people at the wedding banquet. However, she was not familiar with them, so she naturally did not say hello and went straight into a separate room.

When they came out, those people had already left, and even the little maid who brought Rong Xi here was nowhere to be seen.

Rong Xi smiled. Sometimes one really shouldn’t be too kind. Thinking about how difficult it was for maids, she decided not to pursue the matter just now.

But, humph, this person actually left.

.

Rong Xi returned to the table, and Mrs. Xiao was relieved to see that she was fine.

The banquet had reached its final stage, and some people who had something to do at home had quietly left.

Old Madam Xiao also wanted to take Rong Xi back quickly. She had been feeling uneasy since the beginning.

Just as they were getting ready to leave, Rong Xi saw the women he had just met in the side room walking towards him. It was obvious that they were not here with good intentions.

Old Madam Xiao also noticed it and subconsciously wanted to pull Rong Xi behind her.

Rong Xi couldn't tell what he felt in his heart. He just looked at the old lady who was obviously very weak, but still pulled him behind her.

"Yuan girl, what happened?"

Old Madam Xiao set her sights on Yuan Qianxue. Among these girls, she only knew this child.

The system saw the person and quickly introduced him to Jiang Rongxi:

[Rong Xi, Yuan Qianxue, is Su Yingxue's cousin. She had feelings for Xiao Qingze back then. After Xiao Qingze's engagement was broken off, she even begged her family to marry into the Wuding Marquis family. At that time, she thought Xiao Qingze would definitely wake up.

Because of this, she often went to Wudinghou Mansion and acted well in front of Old Madam Xiao, but Xiao Qingze never woke up, so she never went there again. 】

"So that's it."

"Madam, this is the case. Miss Lin and I lost our jade pendants. We just went to the side room. We searched for a long time but couldn't find it. I thought this lady had been to the side room, so I came here to ask her if she had seen it."

As soon as these words were spoken, everyone who had been listening nearby knew what they meant.

His eyes would occasionally look at Rong Xi.

Lin Yuning next to her said unhappily, "Qianxue, why are you being so nice? It's obvious that this Madam Xiao took it."

Rong Xi smiled, pulled Old Madam Xiao in front of him away a little, and stood in front.

"You said this was taken by my wife."

"It's not who you are, it's just that you've been in that room. I've seen a lot of people like you who are short-sighted. Stop talking nonsense and hand over the things quickly."

Rong Xi thought that this person named Lin Yuning was stupid. She had seen countless tricks like this in the apocalypse.

"Miss Lin, I'm kindly reminding you, don't let others use you as a gun."

After Rong Xi finished speaking, he looked at Yuan Qianxue on the side.

Yuan Qianxue encouraged herself and said in a wronged tone, "Madam Xiao, what do you mean?"

"You don't really know what I mean."

"Mrs. Xiao, if you picked up the jade pendant by accident, please return it to us. This jade pendant is very important to us. If you like it, I can give you another one."

The few people standing next to them were the ones who had just said that Rong Xi was greedy for wealth and fame. Without caring whether Jiang Rongxi could hear them or not, they started muttering in a low voice.

"I just inquired about it. Madam Xiao is the daughter of a scholar. I'm afraid she has never seen such a good thing before, so she stole it."

"Ah? She's just the daughter of a scholar. How glorious and brilliant was Marquis Wu Ding in his past, yet he was only married to the daughter of a scholar."

"I say, it's good enough to marry a scholar's daughter. No matter how good she was in the past, she's just a living dead now."

The voices here were heard by Old Madam Xiao. She wanted to get angry, but the most important thing now was to help Rong Xi clear the suspicion.

In fact, she was a little worried in her heart whether Rong Xi would really do this.

So she is still thinking about how to deal with it.

Rong Xi ignored them, but pulled over the chair beside him and helped Madam Xiao sit down.

While supporting her, he whispered in Madam Xiao's ear, "Grandma, can we offend them?"

Madam Xiao was unsure, but she nodded anyway.

After receiving the affirmation, Rong Xi also pulled the chair next to him and sat down.

She crossed her arms and leaned back slightly, with a faint smile on her face. This action directly angered Lin Yuning.

“Mrs. Xiao, what are you doing? Since you have taken our things, hand them over immediately, otherwise we will report to the police.”

Old Madam Xiao looked anxious. She wanted to use her status to pressure these two people, but just as she tried to make a move, Rong Xi pushed her back to sit.

"Don't worry, grandma. I'll take care of it." Then he turned to Lin Yuning and said, "Report to the police. Okay."

"Are you crazy? You should know that if you report it to the authorities, you will be arrested by the police."

Rong Xi still had a calm expression on his face, and he didn't even change his sitting posture.

The people around him also advised, "Madam Xiao, if you have taken it, please take it out quickly. You will be punished when you go to the government office."

"Yes, the government office is not a good place, not to mention that we are women, so we can't go there."

Thank you both ladies for your reminder, but the officers may not necessarily arrest me when they come.

Lin Yuning felt very angry when she saw her like this, she was just the daughter of a mere scholar, yet she dared to be so arrogant.

"What do you mean?"

"Oh? Miss Lin, don't you understand? Then I can explain it to you and the others present.

First of all, I did not take the jade pendants from the two ladies, you are framing me."

Lin Yuning said angrily, "False accusation, you were the only one who entered that room, if it wasn't you who took it, then who did?"
