After transmigrating into the body of a widow, I became the richest man in the capital.

Chapter 352 The Lost Earring
"Really? That's quite a coincidence! Your brother Pei Yuan will be here soon. Let's see how you explain this to him!"

Just then, the sound of horses' hooves came from afar. Su Xiaoxiao looked up and saw that it was her family's carriage. The person driving the carriage was Pei Yuan, who was dressed in his best.

Pei Yuan was already driving his carriage up to them when Su Xiuer was startled and quickly said to Prince Gong, "Your Highness, let's leave here immediately!"

Prince Gong was puzzled, but he understood the implication: Pei Yuan was about to arrive, and this time he really was coming. After all, if Pei Yuan came, and Pei Yuan heard what he had said to Su Xiaoxiao, he would probably disregard what kind of prince he was and turn on him, beating him up.

Prince Gong was indeed not stupid. A wise man doesn't suffer a loss when he's down. He was quickly helped up by Su Xiuer and left the place with a limp.

Su Xiaoxiao finally felt relieved after they left.

Pei Yuan arrived at that moment. He probably didn't see Prince Gong and Su Xiuer together, and he was quite excited after dismounting.

Looking at Su Xiaoxiao, he said happily, "Xiaoxiao, you look so beautiful today!"

Su Xiaoxiao blushed at his praise. She thought to herself, "Of course I'm beautiful, otherwise Prince Gong wouldn't have told me he liked me."

Prince Gong's confession was quite something; Su Xiaoxiao was almost amused by his antics.

He said that from the first moment he saw Su Xiaoxiao, he felt that she was different from the other women who coveted Prince Gong's money and status. Su Xiaoxiao had a unique temperament that attracted him, making him think about her every night and unable to let her go.

That's why Prince Gong came all the way from the capital to Baihua Village, just to see Su Xiaoxiao.

Su Xiaoxiao thought to herself that this man really didn't even bother to lie. Did he really come here to see her?

She did see Prince Gong getting together with Su Xiuer, spending all their time together, seemingly inseparable. He even came over to say that he couldn't let go of her and that he missed her day and night. Thinking about it, it was really unlucky.

Su Xiaoxiao couldn't help but spit on the ground a few times. Pei Yuan looked at her and wondered if he had gone too far with his words.
He felt extremely embarrassed and dared not say anything more.

When Su Xiaoxiao saw Pei Yuan's reaction, she found him really cute and quickly explained, "I accidentally got some dust in my mouth when I opened my mouth to talk, so I spat it out a few times."

Su Pingan quickly asked Tang Xiaoman if she was alright. Tang Xiaoman said she was fine.

Fortunately, it wasn't a greenbottle fly that flew into her mouth. Tang Xiaoman thought to herself that it was bad luck, but at the same time, she felt a little smug.

At least Prince Gong's praise of his good looks, lack of mercenary nature, and intelligence were true. He was content that he had lived an outstanding life.

Who were you talking to just now?

Pei Yuan felt that he had seen Su Xiaoxiao talking to someone here, but he hadn't seen the two people clearly.

Su Xiaoxiao didn't reveal the truth either. She didn't want to expose the scandal of her sister Su Xiuer dating Prince Gong in plain clothes, which would only disgust her birthday friend. So she glossed over it, casually saying, "The two people who came by earlier were asking for directions."

Pei Yuan gave an "Oh," and Su Xiaoxiao noticed that Pei Yuan was dressed very elegantly, having tidied himself up a bit today, making him look even more dashing. Su Xiaoxiao was naturally delighted to see her ideal man, so she pulled Pei Yuan along into the Hundred Flowers Grand Theater.

Su Xiaoxiao had booked a first-class seat, and when she handed over the ticket money and tip, she was naturally welcomed.

After entering, the two were led to the VIP seats, where all the guests were very distinguished. The seats were furnished with pastries and fruits, and the waiters were very attentive, having received tips.

Pei Yuan was a little reserved at first, as it was his first time in such a nice theater. In fact, he had never been to a theater before.

Perhaps due to the prolonged war, Pei Yuan had no time for leisure outside, let alone time to go out and watch a play.

Su Xiaoxiao held Pei Yuan's hand the whole time, comforting him.

The private room here is quite large. Pei Yuan sat in his seat for a while and then felt as if something sharp was poking him.

He got up and saw that a woman's earring had fallen onto the seat.

He picked it up and examined it for a while, then quickly asked Su Xiaoxiao, "There seems to be an earring here? Did the customer who was sitting here lose it? I'll go return it to the waiter!"

Pei Yuan wanted to do a good deed, so he went to hand the earring over to the shopkeeper.

But at this moment, the real show is about to begin. Even before the performance of "Mu Guiying Takes Command" was staged, the audience below was already cheering.

Su Xiaoxiao recognized the earring and then remembered that Su Xiuer had only one earring left on her ear earlier, and it looked just like this one.

So Su Xiaoxiao said to Su Ping'an, "Give it to me, I know whose it is, I can just return it to her later!"

Just now at the theater entrance, Su Xiuer vehemently denied that she had come to see the play with Prince Gong.

Now we have evidence, right? It turns out they watched the play in this very box, and Su Xiuer's earring fell onto her seat. It's probably because it was dark there that they didn't find it.

Why did my earring fall off for no reason? I guess something must have happened earlier.
Su Xiaoxiao held the earring in her hand as if she held some kind of evidence, but Pei Yuan really couldn't understand how his wife knew who the earring belonged to. Thinking of all the people who came to watch the show, with so many people coming and going, it was impossible for anyone to have dropped the earring, so how did Su Xiaoxiao know?

Pei Yuan was puzzled, but he didn't think too much about it. He just felt that his wife sitting next to him seemed to have many secrets she wasn't telling him. He felt that this wasn't necessarily a bad thing. He always felt that couples should maintain a certain distance and not tell each other everything.

A little space was still needed, though at that time Pei Yuan didn't know what that "space" really meant.

While Pei Yuan and Su Xiaoxiao were engrossed in watching the play, Prince Gong was racking his brains to coax Su Xiuer.

Su Xiuer overheard all the sweet words Prince Gong uttered to Su Xiaoxiao at the entrance of the Hundred Flowers Grand Theatre.

She was naturally very jealous, and she also blamed Prince Gong for acting this way.
