Can you deny it?
Everyone was stunned, and even Zhou Qin couldn't help but turn around to look at Xiao Zongrong.
But then Xiao Fromong touched his skirt and the wheelchair beside him, furrowed a pair of slender eyebrows, and suddenly looked at Zhou Qin.
Zhou Qin was stunned, and before he could react, she flashed a smile and said kindly: "Young master, can you return the jade pendant to sister? That's the betrothal gift your third brother gave me, it's not for you to play with!"
Everyone's eyes turned to Zhou Qin, and he suddenly jumped up with a red face: "I didn't... I, the king, didn't take your jade pendant! Don't frame me!"
"Really?" Xiao deliberately touched his body again, furrowed his brow and muttered to himself: "But it was just here a moment ago, no one has approached me... Never mind, never mind! Chunxiang, let's go!"
Chunxiang couldn't bear to part with her, but as soon as she heard that someone was coming, she quickly pushed her to leave.
Zhou Qin stomped her foot anxiously and said: "Speak clearly before you leave, would I be the one to take your jade pendant? What a worthless jade pendant, our mansion has as many as we want..."
He was jumping when suddenly something fell out of his arms and landed on the ground with a thud.
He looked down and his face changed. On the ground lay a jade pendant, which had been smashed into two pieces!
"I... I... you... you!" He pointed at the jade pendant, staring at Xiao Zongrong, stuttering in shock.
"That's Miss's jade pendant!" Chunhui exclaimed with a bit of foolishness, causing Zhou Qin's face to turn white instantly.
Being overbearing is one thing, but stealing is a behavior that the upper class would despise and it's related to one's moral character!
Although he was only a seven-year-old child, he had seen thieves being paraded and punished on the streets. Once, a habitual thief had his five fingers chopped off in public, and that bloody scene was immediately recalled vividly...
People in this era are very innocent and simple. As soon as the jade pendant fell from his body, the gazes cast at him were filled with contempt...
The child had never experienced such a thing before and was scared to tears by his own imagination and the gaze of others: "I didn't take it... I really don't know how it ended up on me... Waaahhh!"
Xiao Congrong raised an eyebrow and rolled her wheelchair to the front of the child. She stretched out her hand, couldn't pick up the broken jade pendant, and calmly said to Zhou Qin: "Help me pick it up!"
Zhou Qin cried and looked at her, was stunned by the overwhelming momentum on her body, and obediently bent down to pick up the jade pendant that had been broken into two pieces and handed it over to her.
Xiao took over and casually placed it on her skirt, gently lifted her hand to help Zhou Qin wipe away her tears, and asked: "Are you a bad kid?"
"I didn't... I really didn't take your jade pendant!" Zhou Qin sobbed again.
Xiao Zongrong pointed with a smile and sneered: "But they all saw you take it, can you deny it?"
"I..." Zhou Qin opened his mouth but couldn't speak, looking around at the strange gazes of others, and dejectedly lowered his head.
"I know you didn't take it, because the jade pendant was something I put in your bosom!" Suddenly, Xiao Zong's straightforward words made the onlookers' mouths agape in surprise.
Bad woman! Extremely venomous woman! Zhou Qin's eyes emitted a fierce aura, her small hands clenched tightly, her tiger teeth biting hard, ready to pounce and tear Xiao Congrong apart.
"So many people saw the jade pendant fall from your bosom, but none of them realized you were being framed! You little demon, which eye did you use to see me push Third Brother's wife into the water? What makes you say I'm a bad woman?"
Xiao's calm and gentle words were more effective than a acupuncture point, suddenly stopping Zhou Qin's movement...
