Although Hua Mujin said it in a very tactful manner, everyone could hear that she was saying that this jade hairpin was not worth much. Since it was not worth much, why did she need to hide it?

"How dare you!"

When Hua Mujin finished speaking, the empress dowager suddenly patted on the chaise longue's armrest fiercely and scolded him harshly.

"Regardless of whether or not this jade hairpin is expensive, it is still a gift from the Emperor. How can you allow yourself to slander it like this?" Someone, drag her out and beat the crap out of her! "

Hua Mujin had told her the truth from the start, but she didn't expect the empress dowager to simply not plan to reason with her.

However, she couldn't accept it at all.

"Majesty, what this subject says is the truth. Jade hairpins were very precious to the Imperial Consort, but it was not worth much, so what was the use of keeping it? Even if it was bestowed to the Imperial Consort by the Emperor, if this subject took it out to sell in order to hide it, using the Emperor's gift as a gimmick, who would believe the words of this subject? Furthermore, this subject is entering the palace as an elegant lady. Whether or not I can come out of the palace is a question. Why would I take the risk and hide it in my own room for others to find? "

Hua Mujin raised his eyes, and spoke each word with determination. This caused the empress dowager to have no choice but to glare at him and size him up.

He raised his hand, indicating for the eunuch who had just entered to step back, and then asked.

"Your words aren't unreasonable. Can you prove with evidence that you didn't hide this jade hairpin?" If you can take it out, I will not pursue the matter. "

Hearing that, Hua Mujin became troubled.

Mu Qiu, who had been able to prove her worth, had already been rejected. She simply could not produce any other evidence for her to take out.

"This subject may not be able to produce any evidence, but if the empress dowager gives this subject some time, this subject will definitely find out who framed her!"

Sneering, winking.

"Since you obtained both the loot and the loot, why should I give you some time? "Someone, drag him out and beat the crap out of him!"

Hua Mujin knew that it would be useless no matter how much she said. It seemed like she was going to get hurt for sure.

The eunuch walked forward and tried to forcefully pull Hua Mujin's arms out.

"Let go! I can walk. "

Suddenly, Hua Mujin stood up and threw away the eunuch's hand. She coldly glanced at Xia Hanxue, then looked at the empress dowager, and spoke out her unwillingness within her heart.

"Esteemed Empress Dowager, since you've already decided that I was the one who secretly stored this jade hairpin, then I have nothing to say." However, this matter won't just end like this. If I find out who framed who, then I'll have to trouble the empress dowager to return my innocence. I think the empress dowager has given clear rewards and punishments to such a venomous person. She definitely wouldn't allow such a venomous person to wreak havoc in the harem! "

With that said, Hua Mujin held her head high and walked out of the pavilion with big strides.

Her words touched upon Mu Qiu's heart. Her eyes were moist, but there was nothing she could do.

"You have some backbone. However, you should talk about it after you survive!"

Behind her, the Empress Dowager's voice was filled with disgust.

Outside the attic, as if it had been arranged, were boards and benches.

Looking at the bench, Hua Mujin closed her eyes and took a deep breath. Her previous imposing manner was obviously weaker than before, but deep in her heart, she was still afraid of these 50 boards.

"Young master, please sit!"

Seeing the 'invitation' from the eunuch, Hua Mujin swallowed her saliva and shouted, "Come, whoever is afraid of this grandson!"

Lying on the bench, Hua Mujin clenched her teeth and closed her eyes. The eunuch raised his wooden board and was about to swing his hand down, but was suddenly stopped by Hua Mujin in the air.

"Wait ?!"

Tilting her head, Hua Mujin looked at the long wooden board that was being beaten, and fear filled her eyes. After thinking for a moment, he asked, "That, Eunuch, can you help me find a slightly thicker piece of fabric?"

The eunuch immediately revealed a difficult expression. "Young lord, your servant ?"

Seeing that the eunuch was troubled, Hua Mujin impatiently said, "Forget it, forget it, wait for the fight, let me prepare first."

With that, Hua Mujin looked left and right, then looked at her beautiful clothes, and instantly sat up on the bench.

"Rip ?"
