Chapter 985: Lost Necklace
Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation
When they reached the study room, s.h.i.+ Xi continued to lead a rotten life.
When night fell, the butler entered solemnly and said to s.h.i.+ Xi, “Princess Consort, when we were checking the auction items, we found that a necklace was missing.”
s.h.i.+ Xi came back to her senses. “What is it?”
The butler repeated the order. “Checking the auction items, we found the necklace donated by Miss Ka.s.se has disappeared!”
s.h.i.+ Xi’s eyes focused and she frowned slightly. “Gather everyone who has touched the necklace. At the same time, check the surveillance cameras and see when the necklace was lost.”
Hua Ruoling looked at Bonita in shock. “You actually lost your necklace? That’s a gift you received at your coming-of-age ceremony. What should we do? Why would someone steal from the palace?!”
Hearing Hua Ruoling’s words, Bonita’s eyes were br.i.m.m.i.n.g with tears.
The corner of s.h.i.+ Xi’s mouth twitched.
Bonita had donated the necklace.
What was the point of saying all this?
“Princess Consort, please help me find the necklace.” Bonita bit her lip. Her eyes were red like a rabbit’s.
“As long as the necklace is still in the palace, we will definitely be able to find it.”
The servants in the palace had already started searching everywhere. All the servants who had touched the necklace were searched. Even Hua Ruoling and Bonita were searched.
“Maybe the person who stole the necklace has already left the palace!” Hua Ruoling shouted. “Let’s seal the palace gate first!”
s.h.i.+ Xi narrowed her eyes.
If she wanted to seal the palace gate, she would have to apply to the Queen.
That would be a big deal.
s.h.i.+ Xi lowered her eyes and asked, “Have you pulled up the surveillance footage?”
Sena placed the laptop on s.h.i.+ Xi’s desk and tapped on a suitable spot. “I’ve already transferred it out. The second inventory check, it’s not in the box anymore.”
The surveillance camera clearly captured everything in the garden, Bonita handed the necklace to s.h.i.+ Xi, who accepted it.
When she returned to the study, Bonita registered it directly. She didn’t open the box and placed it beside her.
When the second inventory check was done, the box was empty.
During this time, the maids came and went, and the box often fell into a corner on the table. It was unknown when it was lost.
The butler returned and reported, “We’ve checked all the people who came into contact with the box. None of them hid the necklace.”
Hua Ruoling’s eyes darted around. “Speaking of which, s.h.i.+ Xi, you’ve also come into contact with the necklace.”
Everyone’s gaze landed on s.h.i.+ Xi.
In the beginning, it was Bonita who had given the necklace to s.h.i.+ Xi.
But no one would suspect s.h.i.+ Xi.
That was the Princess Consort!
s.h.i.+ Xi narrowed her eyes.
So, was this a trap designed for her?
“First of all, you shouldn’t call me by my name. You should call me Princess Consort.” s.h.i.+ Xi raised her chin slightly and corrected Hua Ruoling’s mistake.
Hua Ruoling’s eyes widened. “You!”
s.h.i.+ Xi smiled faintly. “Secondly, I have money. If I really like it, I will bid for it myself and not use such a method.”
“Who knows what you’re thinking? Hmph!” Hua Ruoling snorted. “Since you think you didn’t steal it, then let us search it!”
“Who dares to touch the Princess Consort?” Standing in front of s.h.i.+ Xi, Sena frowned and said, “You are disrespecting the Princess Consort!”
Hua Ruoling’s eyes darted around. “The innocent are innocent. If the Princess Consort did not steal the necklace, why would she be afraid of being searched? Princess Consort, don’t you agree?”
s.h.i.+ Xi sat in her wheelchair, a faint smile in her black eyes.
As expected, the simplest method was the most effective.
s.h.i.+ Xi did not even know where the necklace had been placed.
However, seeing how confident Hua Ruoling was, she definitely could not allow Hua Ruoling to search!
