Everyone in the yard was shocked.
The old lady and Mrs. Li chased out and saw clearly who Ji Shu was holding, and they were all stunned.
Li said angrily: "Ms. Ji, your head is rusty?! Baoxin is a five-year-old child, she can do such a thing!"
"Ms. Ji, this is no joke! Don't miss important things out of selfishness!"
The old lady knocked on the crutch in her hand and coughed in anger.
The expressions of the servants in the courtyard were also very subtle. No one believed that a young girl could steal gems.
Ji Shu lowered his eyes without changing his expression and looked at Qi Baoxin, "I gave you one last chance, did you steal it?"
Seeing that no one believed it, Qi Baoxin felt confident instantly.
Crying loudly: "I'm not! I didn't! I didn't take anything! Why did my mother wrong me! Just because I'm not my mother's biological child! Wuwu!"
Jiang Fu couldn't stand it anymore and pulled Qi Baoxin into her arms.
"Ji Shu! You are really crazy! My child, you are also unjustly accused!"
Qi Chengxu approached Ji Shu, lowered his voice and said through gritted teeth: "Ji Shu! Stop making trouble! Tell us who took it!"
"I told you, it's Qi Baoxin."
Seeing that several people in the Hou Mansion were protecting Qi Baoxin, Eunuch Cao looked at the family with a subtle expression, as if they were fools.
Qi Chengxu said to Eunuch Cao, "Ms. Ji is so willful that she is making my father-in-law laugh."
"Second Young Master Qi, your eyesight needs further training."
Qi Chengxu and others were stunned.
Eunuch Cao pointed at Qi Baoxin and said, "When the young lady mentioned that the gems were stolen, her eyes were wandering and her body was shaking. Children have the hardest time concealing their emotions, so she was the one who took the things."
Ji Shu looked at Chen Chen, "Did Qi Baoxin get close to the box of gems on the day he came?"
"Yes, yes! When the gems were being counted, except for the small ones, only Miss Bao came close to them on the pretext of pouring tea!"
"I didn't! It wasn't me!"
Qi Baoxin's suddenly raised voice was harsh and sharp, and at this moment, the word "guilty" was engraved on her face.
Li Shi staggered, it was really a crime, he didn't expect that he was really a thief! !
Veins popped out on Qi Chengxu's forehead. He strode forward, pushed Jiang Fu aside, raised his hand high, and slapped Qi Baoxin hard on the face.
"Say! Where is the gem!"
Qi Baoxin was dizzy from the slap. There was a buzzing in his ears and he felt like liquid was flowing out of his ears.
When she met Qi Chengxu's eyes that seemed to want to kill her, she was finally frightened.
"Wow - I, I didn't mean it... I just wanted to take it back... to play with for a few days. I hid it in the floor tiles of the room... wuwu..."
Eunuch Cao stepped forward quickly.
"It's important to find something! Where is her room?"
"In the old lady's Fushou Garden, let me lead the way."
Ji Shu stepped forward. Among the group of people, she was the only one who remained calm and composed.
Eunuch Cao followed Ji Shu and ignored Qi Chengxu.
Qi Chengxue's face turned blue and white intermittently. He breathed heavily several times and quickly chased after him.
Just as Jiang Fu was about to pick up Qi Baoxin and follow her, Mrs. Li bumped into her from behind.
Qi Baoxin fell face-first on the ground, his nose bleeding all over the ground, and he was out of breath from crying.
"Why are you just standing there! Why don't you take Qi Baoxin with you!"
Mrs. Li coldly scolded the servant girl for taking Qi Baoxin away.
Jiang Fu grabbed her wrist.
Li's gloomy eyes were scraping her body like a boning knife, "If anything happens to my son because of Qi Baoxin, I will never let you go!"
"Madam...listen to my explanation..."
"Okay! Let's settle the matter at hand first, and we'll talk about other things later!"
The old lady stepped forward and stopped Li.
She gave Jiang Fu a cold glance, took Li Shi and left quickly.
Fu Shou Yuan
A group of nurses broke into the room and started rummaging around.
Ji Shu walked into the house and said, "The things are hidden under the floor tiles. Look where the floor tiles are loose."
The nursing staff knelt on the ground to check.
After a while, people near the bed shouted, "The floor tiles here can be removed!"
Eunuch Cao hurried up, but when the nurse picked up the floor tiles, there was nothing underneath.
There was a nurse lying on the ground, groping under the bed, and suddenly he came across something!
"found it!"
He quickly pulled out whatever he touched.
Everyone rushed forward, and the surprise on Eunuch Cao's face slowly solidified the moment he saw the thing.
In the pile of blue debris on the ground, the predecessor of Sapphire can still be faintly seen.
Qi Chengxu swayed and took several steps back.
Broken.
The sapphire was broken and the tribute to the emperor was damaged.
The old lady ran forward with a cane. After seeing clearly, her vision went dark and she fell straight to the ground.
"Old lady!"
The scene became chaotic.
Ji Shu shouted: "Mother Song, help the old lady back to her room quickly! Someone, please take Qi Baoxin into custody!"
Qi Baoxin cried loudly, "It's not me! It's really not me! I just stole it, I didn't break it, I didn't!"
Li Madam bared her teeth and claws and pounced on him, twisting Qi Baoxin's ears and kicking him repeatedly.
"Who else could it be if it wasn't you! Little bitch, I'll beat you to death today!"
Eunuch Cao walked out of the room silently. Ji Shu retracted his expression of watching the show and followed him quickly.
"Father-in-law, what happened today is the fault of the Hou Mansion, which has caused trouble for the father-in-law. We will definitely give an explanation."
"Let the Zajia family report to the Emperor and let the Emperor make a decision. I'll take my leave now."
Eunuch Cao bowed and took away the accompanying young eunuch with a cold face.
Ji Shu watched him leave and returned to the house.
Mrs. Li was sitting paralyzed on the ground and crying loudly, "What evil has our family done to raise such a loser?"
Qi Chengxu went straight to Ji Shu, "What did Eunuch Cao say?"
"He said he would report it to the emperor and ask him to make a decision."
Qi Chengxu's eyes widened and he gasped twice. His eyes fell on Qi Baoxin. Qi Chengxu strode forward and slapped him.
Qi Baoxin hit his head on the wall, lost consciousness, and suddenly started twitching all over.
Ji Shu frowned slightly and scolded the maid next to him, "What are you doing standing there in a daze? Why don't you quickly bring the government doctor to treat Miss Bao!"
"What kind of doctor are you looking for! This little bitch has dragged down the entire Marquis Mansion! It would be better if he died!"
Mrs. Li got up from the ground and looked at Qi Baoxin with hatred.
Qi Chengxu had a cold face and remained silent, obviously agreeing with Li's words.
Ji Shu smiled and said: "Mother-in-law thinks that if Baoxin is dead, the emperor will not pursue the Hou Mansion? If outsiders know that mother-in-law and the second master beat their own granddaughter and daughter to death, how will the people view the Hou Mansion?"
Qi Chengxu pinched the root of the mountain and said, "Call the doctor."
Not long after, the doctor came out of the room, and Mrs. Li asked impatiently: "Is that bitch all right?"
The doctor hesitated and said, "Ms. Bao is deaf in her left ear, and her head hit a hard object. I'm afraid her hearing and movement will be much slower in the future."
In short, he is stupid.
