Having transmigrated into a book, who would still want to be a secondary wife?

Chapter 164 Exposing the Conspiracy

Song Yi'an frowned as he looked at Tian Jiaojiao, who was being unreasonable. Quite a few people knew about this jade pendant.

Before she passed away, the old lady of the Tian family gave this ancestral jade pendant to Tian Jiaojiao as a sign of her affection for her.

Although an ancestral jade pendant is precious, it is not something that everyone knows about. Its true significance is that this ancestral jade pendant represents the handover of the Tian family's ancestral jewelry shop in the capital to her.

When this news came out, it surprised many people, who secretly sighed that Tian Jiaojiao was indeed favored in the Tian family.

However, the fact that this most important ancestral jade pendant has now been lost suggests that the previous events may not have been intentional.

Listening to the story that Tian Jiaojiao made up on the spot, Song Ruozhen couldn't help but admire her. Sure enough, these people were all good at making up stories.

To make her words seem more convincing, she even fabricated such a story.

"Ruan Niantang, I don't care how you frame me, as long as you help me find the jade pendant!" Tian Jiaojiao said angrily.

Ruan Niantang carefully recalled the scene of falling into the water with Tian Jiaojiao, but did not see any jade pendant around her neck, and couldn't help but say:

"You weren't wearing the jade pendant at the time, so did you put it somewhere else?"

"You're talking nonsense! I always wear my jade pendant close to my body, how could I have put it somewhere else? If you don't believe me, ask Miss Yang and the others if they saw my jade pendant before!"

The girls who were asked nodded with complicated expressions; they had indeed seen Tian Jiaojiao's jade pendant before.

Because this jade pendant revealed her extraordinary status in the Tian family, she always flaunted it whenever she went out, and they had indeed seen it before.

However, her neck was now bare; the jade pendant was truly gone.

“My grandmother used to love me the most. If the jade pendant is lost, how can I face going back?”

"Ruan Niantang, you got me into the water, fine, but you absolutely must find this jade pendant for me today, or I'll never forgive you!"

Tian Jiaojiao was furious, looking as if she wanted to rush up and fight to the death.

“Miss Ruan, no matter how much you dislike my sister, you lost the things my grandmother left behind before she passed away. Don’t you feel guilty?” Tian Ziyi questioned.

Seeing that the two were acting in concert, clearly not what she had done, Ruan Niantang was now being falsely accused of a crime.

"Why should I feel bad? I didn't do it. You've all conspired to frame me. Don't you feel bad about it?"

Seeing that both sides were sticking to their own versions of events, and with Tian Jiaojiao's barrage of accusations rendering even the most reasonable arguments unreasonable, Song Yi'an said in a deep voice:

“Since Miss Tian insists that the jade pendant fell into the pool, I will call someone to drain the water from the pool right away. As long as the jade pendant is in the pool, we will definitely find it.”

Ruan Niantang looked at Song Yi'an gratefully, "Thank you, Second Young Master."

“It’s alright. This happened in our residence, so we should naturally get to the bottom of it,” Song Yi’an replied.

Seeing that Song Yi'an was helping Ruan Niantang, Tian Jiaojiao felt a surge of displeasure and said angrily, "She lost my jade pendant, so naturally she should be the one to look for it! I want her to jump down and look for it!"

"Tian Jiaojiao, don't go too far!"

Ruan Niantang was annoyed. She couldn't swim at all, so how could she jump in to look for him?

"You should pay the price for losing my things. Even if it means draining the water, I'll make you search for them in the mud!" Tian Jiaojiao said angrily.

"You!" Ruan Niantang was speechless with anger.

Song Ruozhen watched the show quietly for a while, and also witnessed Tian Jiaojiao's unreasonable and irrational behavior.

"Why go through all that trouble? Instead of wasting time and energy draining this pool, why don't I try to figure out where the jade pendant is?"

As Song Ruozhen finished speaking, everyone unconsciously recalled how she had helped the young master of the Dong family find the real culprit. If she could do something so difficult, wouldn't finding an object be a piece of cake?

Tian Jiaojiao and Tian Ziyi were both taken aback; they had forgotten that the Song family girl possessed this skill.

A hint of panic flashed in Tian Ziyi's eyes. This trick was always effective against others, but what if Song Ruozhen could really figure it out?

"Don't panic. The rumors were all over the place, but they might not be true." Tian Jiaojiao tugged at Tian Ziyi's hand, signaling her to calm down.

"Fifth Sister, can you figure it out?" Song Yi'an asked expectantly.

Song Ruozhen nodded slightly, raised her hand and took out the tortoise shell, placing the copper coin inside.

He put his hands together and started shaking the tortoise shell, and the copper coins came out.

Everyone watched this scene with curiosity, wanting to see if the Song family girl's metaphysical skills were really that amazing, even surpassing those of famous masters.

As the copper coins were laid out one by one, Song Ruozhen's gaze finally fell on Tian Ziyi.

"Miss Tian, ​​I thought you two sisters were very close, but I never expected you to steal your sister's jade pendant behind her back. Isn't that inappropriate?"

Upon hearing this, everyone looked at Tian Ziyi in surprise. The jade pendant wasn't lost; she had stolen it.

Tian Ziyi's expression changed drastically. She had only helped her sister put away the jade pendant, but she did not expect Song Ruozhen to be so capable that she could find the jade pendant in an instant and even accused her of being a thief!

"I...I didn't! How could I possibly steal my sister's things!"

Tian Jiaojiao also became anxious, "My sister and I are the closest. She would never steal my things. You're talking nonsense!"

"Whether it's nonsense or not, a body search will reveal the truth."

Ruan Niantang trusted Song Ruozhen completely, "If we can't find it, I'll go down and find the jade pendant for you myself!"

"My sister is from a prestigious family; how dare you search her like this? If word gets out, how will my sister ever face anyone again!"

Tian Jiaojiao was furious. "Miss Song, I have no grudge against you, and I don't know where I offended you. Why are you targeting us like this?"

"Oh?" Song Ruozhen raised an eyebrow. "Since you think searching people will damage your reputation, why don't you ask Miss Tian to take off the sachet tied around her waist and let us see it?"

It's just a sachet; it shouldn't be considered a body search. Besides, doing this is to prove my innocence.

"As long as the jade pendant isn't inside, I will definitely apologize properly and tell everyone that I was just spouting nonsense and slandering you."

Tian Ziyi's pupils shrank, and she looked at Song Ruozhen in disbelief, unable to believe that she could actually predict it!

"no!"

Tian Ziyi subconsciously clenched the sachet in her hand. If it were actually found during the search, her reputation would be ruined!

Unfortunately, Song Ruozhen has never tolerated this kind of person.

If it were someone else's house causing trouble, that would be one thing, but they had to come to her house to cause trouble on such a good day!

"So nervous? Is this a case of protesting too much? Since Miss Tian feels this is inappropriate, and the ancestral jade pendant is extremely valuable, why not report it to the authorities and ask for an explanation?"

Song Ruozhen smiled slightly, watching the panicked Tian Ziyi with a composed expression.

Even if you steal from your own family, theft is still a crime!
