FMLRWS Chapter 619

After a few pleasantries, the group walked towards the living room.

As they reached a certain spot, Wang Yaru suddenly exclaimed, “What happened to these lilies? Aren’t they your favorite flowers, Mom?”

People turned to follow her gaze and saw that only four or five blossoms remained on a once-full lily plant. It was obvious that someone had cut it.

Lin Xuan’s expression instantly became strange.

The old lady glanced over, and her face darkened. She said angrily, “Who touched my flowers!”

Lin Xuan shivered in fear.

The crowd exchanged confused looks, unsure of what had just happened.

However, the Leng family members understood well. The old lady adored her flowers and plants, especially those she had personally tended to. Each plant had passed through her hands, so she remembered them all clearly.

Most of the flowers she carefully cultivated were kept in a treasured place in the back garden and were only occasionally brought out to bask in the sun. It was surprising that someone would dare to touch them.

The butler rushed over. Upon seeing the old lady’s anger, he immediately glanced towards Luo Xi.

Wang Yaru seized the opportunity to speak. “This venue was organized by the young madam. Do you not know these are Mom’s flowers? How dare you touch them?”

Hearing this, the old lady turned her gaze to Luo Xi.

Indeed, the only person in the house who might not know of her fondness for these flowers was Luo Xi. If she had taken them, it would seem entirely reasonable.

Although she understood ignorance was innocent, the thought of her hard work being ruined was painful and infuriating.

Luo Xi explained, “Grandma, the flowers were here before.”

The person responsible for managing the flowers was called over. Seeing the situation, he gasped and quickly explained to the old lady, “Old Madam, it rained a while ago, and the garden was too damp. I was worried it would affect the plants, so I had the flowers moved outside to dry in the sun. I didn’t expect someone would cut them.”

“Who cut them?”

The old lady shouted angrily!

The crowd exchanged glances, all looking at Luo Xi.

Wang Yaru stepped forward and disagreed, “Young Madam, it was you who cut the flowers, wasn’t it? The only one in this family who doesn’t know how precious those flowers are to Mom is you. Everyone else wouldn’t dare touch them!”

Luo Xi replied helplessly, “I’m sorry, but it really wasn’t me.”

Wang Yaru choked.

Everyone: “…” If it’s not you, why are you apologizing? It sounds like you feel sorry for not being the one who did it!

A smile flashed in Leng Minxing’s eyes.

“Then explain how this happened.” Leng Youran stood up in dissatisfaction.

This was supposed to be her daughter’s engagement banquet, but Luo Xi kept causing trouble. She even provoked the old lady’s anger. She felt very uncomfortable.

“Well, I can’t be sure. After all, I’m not always standing here watching the flowers. But I might have a way to find out who the flower thief is.” Luo Xi looked at Lin Xuan with a half-smile, whose expression was less than pleasant.

“Who would steal flowers to frame someone? How vicious!”

“Exactly, and it just so happens that the old lady saw it. The intent is very malicious.”

“I don’t think it would be the young madam, otherwise she’d be walking right into a trap.”

“Who knows…”

The people around buzzed with different opinions, their words dripping with disdain.
