My older sister, born in the 1970s, stole my marriage; I took my three treasures and blew up the fam

"Mom, how could you doubt me?" Ruan Jiaojiao looked hurt and was on the verge of tears.

Qiao Xiaqing softened her tone: "The thief had your pearl hair clip on him! I recognized it, it's yours!"

Ruan Jiaojiao hurriedly took the hair clip off her hair: "Mom, you mean this? I always wear it with me, how could it be with the thief?"

"This hair clip is the one you bought with me back then, we only bought one."

Indeed, she only bought one hair clip at the time. She disguised herself as an ugly woman to meet the two thieves. Even though she had paid them, the two thieves still insisted on taking the hair clip from her head.

To put the thieves at ease, she gave them the hair clip.

Fearing something might go wrong, she went to the black market and asked someone with a mole to get her an identical hair clip.

Although he hasn't dared to leave the black market to do things for her lately, he's still somewhat useful there.

"this……"

Qiao Xiaqing took the hair clip and looked at it carefully. She found that it was indeed the hair clip that she and Ruan Jiaojiao had bought together. She had personally picked out this style for Ruan Jiaojiao.

"Mom, you still don't believe me? I was just called in for questioning by the police, and they have found out the truth and cleared my name."

"If you don't believe me," Ruan Jiaojiao squeezed out two sad tears, "you can go to the police station and ask!"

"If you still insist that I did it, then kill me! Make me apologize to Ruan Tinghe!"

"Waaah," she sobbed, wiping away her tears, "Just because I did something wrong, does that mean all the bad things have to be pinned on me?"

"But I've already left the family compound, what more do they want from me? Do they really want me to die?"

"Then I'd rather die right now!"

After saying that, Ruan Jiaojiao suddenly rammed into the wall. Qiao Xiaqing was so frightened that she grabbed her and easily pulled her back.

"Jiaojiao, it was Mom's fault. Mom shouldn't have disbelieved you, and Mom shouldn't have misunderstood you."

Qiao Xiaqing was annoyed, realizing she shouldn't have assumed Ruan Jiaojiao was the mastermind behind everything just because of a hair clip.

"Mom?" Ruan Jiaojiao asked, her eyes brimming with tears. "You really believe me?"

"certainly."

"That's good. If even you don't believe me, what's the point of me living? You're my closest relative in Shanghai."

Ruan Jiaojiao hugged Qiao Xiaqing tightly, and from Qiao Xiaqing's perspective, she revealed a triumphant smile.

Ruan Tinghe could see everything clearly through the crack in the door.

Amazing! No wonder Qiao Xiaqing was fooled by Ruan Jiaojiao for four years. Most people wouldn't be able to see through this level of skill.

Moreover, Ruan Jiaojiao was Qiao Xiaqing's savior.

Ruan Tinghe suddenly felt that Qiao Xiaqing was also quite pitiful, being constantly teased and used by Ruan Jiaojiao.

"Alright, Jiaojiao, I brought you some good stuff. Have you and Yaozu been staying here these past few days? Have you been doing well?"

"Don't underestimate this place just because it's not as nice as our family compound. The families living around here are all educated people, but... many of them were sent down to the countryside."

"Your Aunt Xie's family is a scholarly family; one of their ancestors was a high-ranking official! They donated almost all of their wealth to survive. That's why they live in a tenement building."

"You should help Yaozu learn to get along with people these days. It's time for Yaozu to learn to read..."

"As for your matter with Ayan, let's talk about it later. Ayan really doesn't like you. Between you two, back then..."

"Mom!" Ruan Jiaojiao couldn't help but interrupt.

Qiao Xiaqing's attitude clearly showed that she believed Shen Yan's words and didn't want her and Yaozu anymore.

How could she do that!

Ruan Jiaojiao clenched her fists so tightly that her back teeth almost broke.

That old woman! Sure enough, whenever she runs into her son, no matter what kind of life-saving grace, four years of companionship, or even her own grandson it is, everything has to take a backseat!

She's worked hard for four years! Is she really going to fail at the last hurdle in front of Shen Yan?

No, she is not reconciled!

Before she could think of a solution, Ruan Jiaojiao decided not to bring up the matter again. If things really fell apart, it would be difficult to handle things later.

"Mom! Let's not talk about that anymore. I'm so hungry. Shall we go to the state-run restaurant for dinner? You don't know how much Yaozu has missed you these past few days. He hasn't been eating and he's gotten so thin!"

Qiao Xiaqing's attention was immediately diverted. After all, he was a child she had doted on for four years. When she learned that he was not eating or drinking, she was heartbroken.

"Hey Yaozu, how can you not eat properly? Come on, let's go get something delicious!"

The two carried Shen Yaozu out, while Ruan Tinghe hid beforehand.

Once the three figures had completely disappeared, Ruan Tinghe took a hairpin and unlocked the door with ease.

She learned this lock-picking skill in Stone Village.

Enter Ruan Jiaojiao's room.

"I was planning to beat you up, but I never got the chance. Since that's the case, don't blame me!"

Clothes, shoes, bags, and hats? Although Ruan Jiaojiao had worn them and she disliked them, these clothes could still be sold for a lot of money on the black market!

Even if you don't sell it, throwing it away or donating it to the poor is better than leaving it for Ruan Jiaojiao!

Jewelry and precious stones? I'll take them all!

Blankets, bedding, buckets, basins, mirrors...

Everything he saw, including the gifts Qiao Xiaqing gave him, was stored in his spatial storage!

In the end, only a bed board was left.

There was simply no room left to put it, otherwise Ruan Tinghe would have packed it up for her too!

I was about to leave after packing my things, but I still felt a lump in my throat.

Ruan Tinghe eventually found another secluded spot and began to lie in wait.

About an hour later, Ruan Jiaojiao returned with a bunch of things in large and small bags, and Shen Yaozu was also full and shiny with oil.

The two opened the door with beaming smiles, and then...

"ah!!"

A blood-curdling scream rang out.

Ruan Tinghe chuckled from her hiding place, "Ruan Jiaojiao, this time I only took things from your room! Next time you dare to harm someone, don't blame me for stripping you naked too!"

Having seen the satisfactory scene, Ruan Tinghe decided to leave.

Just then, the woman dressed in artsy attire returned on her bicycle.

She had just gotten out of the car when she rushed to Ruan Jiaojiao's door. "What's wrong? What's your name? What happened?"

Ruan Jiaojiao rushed out and grabbed the woman's arm, "It's you, it's you, isn't it!"

Xie Yue looked confused: "What did you say? What happened to me?"

"You stole my things! It must have been you, only you have the key to this room!"

Xie Yue's arm ached from being gripped so tightly. She struggled violently, shouting, "Let go of me! I don't know what you're talking about!"

As Xie Yue finished work, many of her neighbors also returned home from work.

Hearing the commotion, they all ran over to see what was going on.

"Don't know what I'm saying? Look for yourself! Everyone, come and see!"

Ruan Jiaojiao suddenly opened the door as wide as possible, allowing everyone to see what was happening inside.

Everyone gasped as they looked at the empty room, now containing only a bed.

"What's going on? Why is there only one bed in the room?!"

"That's not right, I saw that everything in the house was still there when I went to work this morning."

"Could there be a thief!"

Ruan Jiaojiao pointed at Xie Yue and yelled, "She's the thief! When I came back and opened the door, the lock was fine, which means the thief used a key!"

"Only she and I have keys to this house! Who else could it be but her!"
