What is this?
Wei Chang asked her. His face was expressionless.
Liu Shi inhaled. For a short moment, her expression was flustered. She quickly adjusted her expression.
Without any hurry, she smiled and asked,
Isn’t this an earring? It’s quite plain. Why did Master ask me to look at this?
Yes, it was quite plain. It was because of this reason that he had a deep impression of it. The things that were in his wife’s dressing room were all elaborate and gorgeous. Because it was rare for him to see an earring with a simple design, it made him pay more notice to that earring.
Wei Chang wasn’t in any urgency to expose her.
He tranquilly and even-temperedly asked,
I remember you had an earring that looks exactly like this one. Where is it? Bring it out for me to see.
Liu Shi’s smile remained calm. Her reply was waterproof,
I disliked its ordinary style, and so I gave it to someone else in passing.
She asked with a bit of curiosity,
Master, what’s wrong? Why are you asking me this today? The meal has been warmed. Let’s go eat dinner first.
Wei Chang didn’t intend to allow her to pass over her deception. He grabbed her hand to walk toward the desk. He held her hand tightly and brought her to the front.
Whom did you give this to? Let that servant girl bring it here to see. Or do you want to say that you gave it to the fifth family’s servant girl?
Liu Shi’s face finally started to crack.
She firmly stood and angrily said,
What does Master want to say? What’s wrong with you today? It’s only an earring. It isn’t worth you being so serious…
Before she could finish speaking, Wei Chang slapped her!
