Chapter 886: It Wasn’t Her (5)

Xia Nuannuan’s eyes immediately widened at these words.

Searching her room meant that Shen Xiu suspected her!

She bit her lip, feeling deeply ashamed.

Why?

What right did they have!?

Just because her family wasn’t well-off, when money went missing, she would have to naturally become a suspect?

What was her status in the Shen family?

She wanted to speak up but, at this point, a voice said, “No!”

Shen Zihao, who had been having dinner downstairs, had overheard that the money was missing. Not that he cared about that. After all, how much could it have been, given that it was cash?

But when Xia Nuannuan got implicated, he had put his chopsticks aside and gone upstairs.

Just as he arrived at the scene, he heard Shen Xiu’s words. Objecting to it, he said, “Dad, what is this about? Asking to search the room of the Young Madam of the Shen family… if word got out, how would that look?

Shen Xiu gave an icy humph and said, “To prove her innocence, we have to search.”

Shen Zihao glanced at Xia Nuannuan and said, “She wouldn’t steal the money!”

Xia Nuannuan was touched by his faith in her.

Shen Zihao believed her.

She bit her lip.

Shen Xiu looked at Shen Zihao and said in a sincere and heartfelt manner, “Regardless of whether it was her, we’ll search her room and prove her innocence. I don’t wish to have the housekeepers in this family gossiping about us being unfair.”

Mei Feng stepped forward as well when she heard this. “It’s not good to search her room just like that. Zihao’s father, let’s reconsider this… let it be. The money’s gone anyway.”

Shen Xiu frowned at these words and said, “No!”

He instructed the butler, “Go search!”

Shen Zihao frowned and turned to look at Xia Nuannuan.

With a lowered voice, he tried to comfort her, “Dad is asking for your room to be searched so that he can prove your innocence. You…”

He had no idea how to explain further without it sounding ridiculous.

After all, it was embarrassing to be searched like this.

Shen Zihao’s anger swelled up within him. Without an outlet, he finally looked at the young housekeeper and said, “If we can’t find anything in Young Madam’s room, then it has to be you!”

The young housekeeper hung her head and started to cry again.

Shen Zihao was about to continue when the butler walked towards them with a serious expression. “Sir.”

Shen Xiu turned to look at him.

Shen Zihao too looked at him and said, “Hurry up and tell them. You haven’t found anything, I’m sure?”

Following these words, he turned to look at Shen Xiu. “Dad, please don’t treat us like this in the future. If our room can be searched just like any other room here, then what would that say about our status in the Shen family?”

Shen Xiu gave a cold snort u`pon hearing this.

Xia Nuannuan stared steadily at the butler and noticed that he looked slightly embarrassed. Her heart sank.

She knew that the worst had come.

Indeed, the next moment, the butler extended his hand and held out a wad of banknotes. “This was found in Young Madam’s drawer. I’ve just counted 50 thousand, no less, no more.”

The room fell dead silent at these words.

During this moment of silence, Shen Zihao, who had been defending Xia Nuannuan a few minutes ago, looked at the wad of cash in the butler’s hand with disbelief.

Then he spun his head around to look at Xia Nuannuan!
