Everyone present understood the matters in wealthy families.
“You speak,” the old lady frowned.
Luo Xi replied, “When I saw these flowers a few days ago, they were not like this. But today, they are in this state. This means the flower thief must have acted in the past few days. Coincidentally, there have been people busy around here during that time. Whoever cut the flowers must have been seen by someone. Why don’t we ask the maids who have been working here these days? Then we’ll know. I doubt anyone would come to steal flowers in the middle of the night just to frame me.”
The moment these words were spoken, the expressions of several people changed.
The butler quickly summoned the workers from those days.
Luo Xi stepped forward, scanning the faces before her, and said, “Did anyone see someone moving these lilies in the past few days? If someone can identify the culprit, I will promote them and raise their salary. But if you lie, you’ll face the consequences from your young master. After all, I’m not one to enjoy bloodshed…” She added with a smile that was not a smile.
At her words, the people around instinctively glanced at the cold man standing behind Luo Xi. Just that one glance made them quickly look away, a chill running down their spines.
Ever since Luo Xi arrived at the villa, she had never punished anyone. She was known to be easy to get along with, endearing herself to many of the maids. They all considered her harmless.
But they had forgotten. Being easy to work with Luo Xi didn’t mean her man was the same.
That man was the most terrifying existence in the Leng family.
Being fined a little money might not be too bad, but what if they were taken away? What if the young master lost his temper and killed them?
The thought of this possibility filled dozens of men and women standing neatly with panic.
A girl raised her hand.
Luo Xi raised an eyebrow. “Tell me.”
“I didn’t see anything,” the maid said, her voice trembling as she met Wang Yaru’s snake-like eyes.
“Then why did you stand up?” Luo Xi asked, observing her.
“But I heard…” The maid hesitated.
“Go on,” Luo Xi urged.
“Xiao Meng and Xiao Fei are my roommates. They were originally helping out here, but for some reason the day before yesterday, they suddenly said they needed to go home. When I asked them, they were all vague about it. I didn’t think much of it at the time, but while I was in the restroom, I overheard something.”
“And then what happened?” Luo Xi asked calmly.
The maid continued, “I overheard them say that Miss Lin Xuan had seen these flowers and had someone pick them to take back. I even saw them in Miss Lin Xuan’s bedroom while cleaning.”
“Wow!”
Upon hearing that it was Lin Xuan, the protagonist of the day, everyone began to stir.
No one expected it would be her!
Lin Xuan’s face turned pale.
The expressions of the Feng family members also darkened. They clearly didn’t expect their future daughter-in-law to be involved in something like this.
Cutting the flowers for decoration wasn’t unusual. Every girl liked to bring beautiful things into her room. But if she didn’t admit it, it would only make her look bad.
Or perhaps she was deliberately pretending to be silent to frame Luo Xi?
With this thought, both Mrs. Feng and Mr. Feng frowned, their eyes filled with displeasure.
“I’ve heard for a long time that Lin Xuan doesn’t get along well with the young madam of the Leng family, but I never expected her to go so far as to frame her. This is truly ungrateful.”
