The three people dug their hands into the rice, but there was nothing in the rice.
The tall man among them shouted loudly, “There’s no vase here, not to mention one with a mouth 8 centimeters wide and 32 centimeters tall, not even a 3-centimeter-tall vase.”
Wen Meiling looked incredulously towards Goat Beard.
She had thought that Jiang Mengyu’s bundle contained an antique vase, so sure was Goat Beard’s assertion.
That’s why she had been fanning the flames non-stop, trying to pin the theft on Jiang Mengyu and take the opportunity to drive her out of the compound.
If she had known, she would have let it go when Goat Beard said he wouldn’t mind. That way, Jiang Mengyu’s reputation could have been tarnished without proving her innocence.
Goat Beard could not believe it. He had clearly seen the young girl put the vase into the bundle. How could it not be there?
He pounced and searched himself, plunging his hand into the rice bag over and over again, but still found nothing.
His gaze turned to Jiang Mengyu’s bamboo basket then.
Jiang Mengyu simply handed over the basket as well: “Let’s search this too.”
They searched again, and besides some meat bones and vegetables in the basket, there was not even a shard of porcelain, let alone a vase!
“No, I don’t accept it!” Goat Beard yelled, “She must have an accomplice. She passed the item to her helper.”
Jiang Mengyu sneered, “I came here with the family members. Are you saying that all these family members are thieves?”

With bitterness in his heart, Goat Beard thought, having offended one person already, what’s the harm in offending a few more?
“Who knows if they are your accomplices or not.”
Zhang Qiaoqiao was furious, “How dare you slander us family members?”
Wen Meiling looked at Jiang Mengyu and then said, “If you want to prove your innocence, then let’s search your possessions too.”
Zhang Qiaoqiao glared at Wen Meiling hatefully and dropped her basket down: “Here are all my things, search away.”
Qin Xiufang also put forward her bag as well: “Search it!”
In the end, the belongings of all family members were searched, but the antique vase was still nowhere to be found.
“I don’t believe it, I don’t believe it!” Goat Beard simply turned Jiang Mengyu’s bundle inside out and even poured out the rice in the bag to search bit by bit.
While searching frantically, he muttered, “No, I clearly saw you bought Boss Zheng’s flowers, and Boss Zheng definitely gave you the vase along with the flowers. I saw you put the newspaper-wrapped vase into the bundle. How could there possibly be no vase in the bundle?”
His words brought too much information to the crowd, and everyone was dumbstruck.
It turned out, Goat Beard did not have any vase at all.
It turned out, he only saw Boss Zheng selling flowers, giving a vase to the buyer.
It turned out, Jiang Mengyu did not steal his vase at all.
It turned out, Goat Beard was the one coveting someone else’s antique vase.
It turned out…
Hearing this, Wen Meiling was also infuriated to death.
She had gone against her conscience and risked being ostracized by the other family members (not that she cared for their friendship) to help this Goat Beard in order to ruin Jiang Mengyu. Yet this Goat Beard turned out to be crying thief to cover his own theft!
If he was only crying thief, it would be one thing if he was right; he could still have splashed some dirt on Jiang Mengyu.
But the key point was, he mistook the person.
There was no vase on Jiang Mengyu, nor on any of the family members. Clearly, the vase was not acquired by Jiang Mengyu but perhaps by someone who looked a bit like her.
It was not a big deal if he mistook someone else, but what should she do for backing the wrong horse?
