Chapter 11 We Have Never Seen These Things

"I've never seen them before!" The more flustered Zhou Bao'er was, the more subconsciously she imitated Li Rufei and shouted at Song Qingyu in a bluffing manner.

"How could it be? I've seen Zhou Bao'er show off the two pieces of jewelry that First Miss Song mentioned. Especially that dangling ornament. It's decorated with gold butterfly wings, but it's as thin as a cicada wings. When it moves, it's like the moonlight, and when it's quiet, it's like a butterfly falling into the hall full of gold and jade. I've seen it once and had a deep impression of it!"

The young lady next to Ge Zhang said indignantly, which made Zhou Bao'er blush with guilt.

"We, Earl Zhongyong's Manor, have never received these things. All the things that had been brought over by Song's Manor are here. It's up to you whether you want them or not!"

Li Rufei was furious when she saw her daughter being forced like this. She didn't care about her reputation anymore. She pushed away the servants who stopped her and pulled Zhou Bao'er away.

It was never too late for a gentleman to take revenge. Now that the mother and daughter were obviously at a disadvantage, there was no need for her to be entangled with the Song family. No matter what she suffered, she would ask Earl to teach them a lesson later!

"Dad, since Madam of Earl Zhongyong doesn't admit it, let's report it to the government office!" Song Qingyu wouldn't let them go like this. Wouldn't it be setting a tiger free back to the mountains? Today, she would definitely knock the Zhou family to the bottom and make them never dare to use their reputation again.

Reporting to the authorities? Song Huishu looked at his daughter in astonishment, thinking that his daughter was still too naive. It was hard to judge the connections between the two families by marriage. Most of the time, the bridegroom suffered losses in exchange for a good reputation. If the matter was really brought to the court, it would be really difficult for Qingyu to get married in the future.

Song Qingyu looked at her father's conflicted expression and smiled at him comfortingly. "The personal seal of Earl Zhongyong is clearly stamped on this gift list, but Madam and Young Lady are certain that Earl Zhongyong's Manor has never received it. They haven't even seen this gift list. The personal seal of Earl Zhongyong must be lost."

Everyone craned their necks to look at the end of the gift list in her hand. As expected, there was a red seal on it. It was the personal seal of Earl Zhongyong.

Then Song Qingyu said to the crowd worriedly, "The loss of property in the Song's Manor is not a big deal. As a military general, Count Song is in charge of the imperial guards in the Capital to protect the Majesty. The loss of his seal is a big deal. If someone takes the opportunity to assassinate the Majesty, Dachu Country will be in turmoil. This is a state affair! Father, report it to the government quickly. This matter can't be delayed!"

Song Huishu immediately realized that it was not a big deal to encroach on property, but it was a big crime for the general to lose his private seal! With such a crime hanging over their heads, Earl Zhongyong's Manor didn't dare to renege on their promise.

"My daughter really knows the big picture," Song Huishu praised. "Earl's private seal is a major event in the court. We should indeed ask the Shuntian Prefecture to have someone look for it."

Li Rufei had just taken two or three steps when she heard the father and daughter echoing each other. She was instantly dumbfounded. No matter how short-sighted she was, she knew that if she admitted that Earl's private seal had been stolen, it would be a great crime to delay the military plane. If she lowered her head to Song Qingyu, who she had always looked down on, it would be no different from killing her.

However, the situation was dire. She was used to controlling her husband and son. In front of the Song family, she didn't know what to do even if she racked her brains. What's more, she didn't have time to think too much about it. She could only apologize to Song Huishu helplessly. "Mr. Song, you don't have to make such a big fuss. It's too hot today and I was dizzy. I really didn't remember that the Song family sent these things to our family just now. It is just a misunderstanding."

Song Qingyu could tell that Li Rufei was not good at saying flattering words. At this moment, her face was distorted and her expression was ferocious. This forced smile made Song Qingyu feel very happy.

"Now that I remembered it, you are right. It's just that Earl Zhongyong's Manor has been keeping these things in the warehouse. Bao'er and I haven't seen them for a long time, so we forgot about them. Qingyu, don't worry. You have a good relationship with Bao'er, and you know that she has always been careless. You're a good girl, so you won't argue with her, will you?" Li Rufei tried her best to put on a loving expression and looked at Song Qingyu.
