"This avatar is fake," she lowered her gaze, "it's not my avatar."

The crowd fell silent for a moment.

Mrs. Liu spoke first, and she asked, "Second Miss Jiang, what do you mean by that?"

Jiang Li smiled, handed the head mask to Mrs. Liu, and said lightly: "I spent four hundred taels of silver and bought a pair of ruby ​​head masks in the Jixiang Building in Yanjing City. There are only three ruby ​​heads in the entire Jixiang Building. It’s because this gemstone is of excellent quality and bright color.” After a pause, Jiang Li continued, “But the pair in my hand is rough in workmanship and dull in color, not to mention four hundred taels of silver. It's not as good as forty taels of silver."

"What does the girl mean..." Tong'er couldn't help asking.

"Even if I really wanted to curse my third sister, I wouldn't use such a shabby little thing." Jiang Li's tone was contemptuous, "This is not my head, someone took my head and replaced it with this one Here comes the broken stuff."

Someone took her head!

Things took a turn for the worse in an instant, and everyone suddenly realized, but after a while, they fell into deeper doubts.

Mrs. Jiang said: "Girl Li, someone took your head, what does it mean?"

Jiang Li turned her head, smiled at Mrs. Jiang, and said, "Old lady, don't worry, I'll come and find out now, what's going on here?"

Mrs. Jiang was startled. In front of the guests, Jiang Li called her "Old Lady" instead of "Grandmother". Is this a resentment against her, because I didn't stand by Jiang Li's side when Jiang Li was in trouble just now?

Both Jiang Youyao and Ji Shuran had a look of surprise on their faces, things shouldn't have developed like this. Ji Shuran's heart moved, and she didn't want Jiang Li to break her plan, so she said, "Li'er, how could this gem face be fake? Did you admit it wrong?"

"Impossible!" It was Mrs. Liu who spoke, and she said firmly: "It is impossible for things from Jixianglou to be of this quality. You are all regular customers of Jixianglou, and you will know it once you try it." The ladies next to her touched each other and nodded.

Mrs. Liu's words were confirmed.

Ji Shuran frowned, she looked at Jiang Li, and suddenly found that from the beginning until now, the cracks on the gem's face were discovered, no matter whether it was the accusations of the people or the strange eyes, Jiang Li was not in a hurry in the face of these.

Jiang Li was puzzled, confused, regretful, and guilty, but there was no panic, anger, helplessness, or despair.

Even now, Jiang Li still has a gentle smile on the corner of her mouth, exactly the same as she was at the beginning.

What time is it, why are you still laughing, what's so funny?

Ji Shuran thought, feeling more and more wrong in her heart, subconsciously, she saw Jiang Li looking down at the people on the ground, and followed Jiang Li's gaze, and found that Xiangqiao on the ground was kneeling, looking like she was about to collapse On the ground.

Xiangqiao was trembling.

Jiang Li squatted down and reached out to support Xiangqiao. She looked at Xiangqiao with kind and gentle eyes, and her tone was as kind as before.

She said, "Xiangqiao, you stole my head, right?"

"No, it's not." Xiangqiao insisted, "I didn't do this."

"Then that's weird." Jiang Li murmured to herself again with some puzzlement, "Since you said that you saw the ruby ​​head that I carved with a knife, but now the head is clearly replaced by someone else. After that, what you saw, could it be... a ghost?"

Jiang Li said the last two words very softly, but in Xiangqiao's ears, it felt gloomy and spooky.

"Third sister, you said that Xiangqiao took your face, do you have evidence?" Jiang Yu'e said unwillingly.

"Evidence?" Jiang Li stood up again, and smiled at Ji Shuran: "Mother is the mistress of the big house, please send someone to Xiangqiao's room immediately to search for the whereabouts of the ruby ​​head. Ladies and sisters are all here Here, I just want to be a witness. After Jiang Li of the province proves his innocence, he still has to bear the crime in vain."

The guests felt a little guilty when they heard the words.

What Jiang Li said was accusing them of putting themselves in a high position but staying out of it when they were just watching the show, and they could not help but regard Jiang Li as the instigator.

Ji Shuran smiled and clenched her teeth. She is not stupid, she knows that today's plot against Jiang Li will be fruitless. She was amazed that Jiang Li was able to strike back, and that a person with no connections and no money in Jiang's mansion was able to stand up. But she was afraid that Jiangli would have another trick, so she subconsciously looked at Xiangqiao again.

When she heard that Jiang Li was going to ask her to search the house, Xiangqiao was relieved immediately, and in Ji Shuran's eyes, she became concerned in an instant. Knowing that Jiangli probably won't find anything, he appointed a few people to search Xiangqiao's room.

The entire main court was quiet again.

Jiang Yuanbai finally came to his senses at this moment, feeling that he seemed to have done something wrong. He looked at Jiang Li and saw his daughter standing not far from Jiang Youyao. Jiang Youyao's clothes were exquisite and her hairpins were gorgeous, but Jiang Li's plain clothes were simple. If it wasn't for her handsome appearance, she would be as inconspicuous as a maid.

Jiang Yuanbo suddenly felt a little uncomfortable again.

Jiang Yuanbai has a good face and protects his shortcomings. Even if he hates and angers Jiang Li, he doesn't want Jiang Li to ruin Jiang's face in front of the guests. What's more, at this moment, it turned out that there was something wrong with the front matter, and Jiang Yuanbai felt that his tone to Jiang Li just now was a little too strong.

Jiang Li didn't take what everyone was thinking about, Jiang Yuanbai's regret, Ji Shuran and Jiang Youyao's disappointment. Standing in the atrium, she stared at Xiangqiao who was trying to calm down with great interest, and suddenly wanted to laugh.

She already knew what Ji Shuran and Jiang Youyao were up to, but what she had to do was not just to prove her innocence.

People do no harm to tigers, but tigers hurt people's hearts. It is always a disaster for Ji Shuran's people to stay in Fangfei Garden. She has learned a lesson from the tragic experience in her previous life, so she can prevent erroneous things from happening and eradicate them.

After a while, the person who was sent to search Xiangqiao's room came back, and to show fairness, Mrs. Jiang also sent a nanny to go with her.

Nanny Zhang led the people back to Mrs. Jiang, glanced at Xiangqiao on the ground, and said, "Go back to Mrs. Xiangqiao, I found a ruby ​​head from Xiangqiao's room. There is no knife mark, so it should be real."

Xiangqiao's body softened, and she murmured: "Impossible."

Jiang Youyao was also taken aback, Ji Shuran saw Jiang Li's smile widen, and her scalp tightened.

Sure enough, Nanny Zhang hesitated for a moment, and said in front of all the guests: "The servants also found a lot of precious jewelry in Xiangqiao's room, which should be a gift from the eldest wife to the second young lady."

Jiang Li was surprised for a moment. For the first time, there was anger in her voice, but the anger seemed to be tinged with ridicule when she listened carefully.

She said: "It turns out that Xiangqiao was greedy for wealth and blamed others!"
