Chapter 888: It Wasn’t Her (7)
i Feng frowned, feeling a little discouraged. She knew that, as long as Shen Zihao was around today, there was nothing she could do to Xia Nuannuan.
Hence, she stepped forward and said, “Ok, I must have made a mistake. The money hasn’t gone missing.”
They she looked towards the young housekeeper and said, “It was my fault, I apologize. Is that ok?”
The young housekeeper was crying from feeling wronged and accused. She continued, “Madam, it wasn’t your fault. Obviously soone stole the money and I was implicated!”
i Feng frowned and said, “Enough! Say no more! This matter has co to an end. I’ll double your wage this month.”
The young housekeeper imdiately smiled and said, “Sure, sure.”
Then she got up from the ground.
Shen Xiu’s gave Xia Nuannuan a sharp look and then, shifting his gaze to Shen Zihao, he said, “I’ll leave you to educate your own wife. This ti I’ll let it go for your sake. If this happens again… humph!”
i Feng quickly yanked Shen Xiu’s arm and said, “Enough.”
Then she looked at Shen Zihao and told him, “Take Nuannuan back to the room.”
With a wave of her hand, she told the rest, “Get back to work. Get back to work. There’s nothing to see here.”
The people looked at Xia Nuannuan with despise.
She stood there, clenching her fists and staring at the man before her.
Suddenly, she sneered.
Even if Shen Zihao had protected her, so what?
This was nothing but an indirect way of saying that he thought she had taken the money.
She recalled how, initially, Shen Zihao had thought she had taken the two thousand from his wallet.
So did Shen Zihao now think that she was just a thief?
Her expression suddenly beca determined.
Just as everyone was leaving, she suddenly yelled, “Hang on!”
There was a firmness underlying her gentle voice. Everyone halted with surprise.
They simultaneously looked at her. She stepped forward and said, “Shen Zihao did not give this money.”
Shen Zihao was shocked at this declaration and he grabbed her hand, saying, “Nuannuan, what are you doing?”
“What am I doing? I will not be the scapegoat for sothing I haven’t done!”
Her voice was gentle and, even at this point of extre anger, her words and behavior did not lose their tenderness and softness.
She looked at Shen Zihao steadily and said, “I did not take the money. As to how it has appeared in my room, I have no idea! Soone has set up.”
Soone had set her up?
Why would soone set her up?
The money had initially been in i Feng’s room, and no one had gone into her room apart from the young housekeeper.
The young housekeeper reacted imdiately, “I- I went into Madam’s room to clean. I did not go into your room.”
This ant that the person who could have frad Xia Nuannuan wasn’t the young housekeeper.
If it weren’t the young housekeeper, who else could it be?
Everyone now shifted their gaze to i Feng.
i Feng was stunned and looked at Xia Nuannuan with an expression of disbelief. “Nuannuan, what do you an?”
Xia Nuannuan bit her lip and said, “There is no other aning.”
i Feng trembled with anger. “You… I am not even blaming you for taking the money, why are you being so obstinate? And now you’re even turning the tables and accusing ? Are you saying that I’ve set you up? Why would I want to set you up? What good would that do ?”
“Because I did not steal it.”
She said each word clearly and deliberately, “I did not steal it.”
