In the outer study of the commander-in-chief, everyone insisted on their own words.

Si Qiongzhi said, "This is Sister Gu's watch, she is wearing it on my hand."

The maid of the fifth concubine said, "This is indeed Miss Gu's, and it was given to Miss Gu by the fifth concubine."

The fifth concubine's face was full of ignorance. She looked at this and looked at that, with a blank and innocent face.

Gu Qingzhou had an exaggerated surprise. She passed the fifth concubine and went to see Xiuxiu: "What? Was it given to me by the fifth concubine?"

She looked surprised.

Xiuxiu involuntarily shrank her shoulders, and then tried her best to straighten herself up, never showing her timidity again.

The surprise on the fifth concubine's face was restrained and hesitant. She looked at Gu Qingzhou, then at the watch in the hand of the commander-in-chief, and then she said confusedly and blankly: "I...I didn't send it. Give the watch to Miss Gu......"

Xiuxiu was startled for a moment, and her body shook again.

Si Qiongzhi was also stunned.

This watch looks expensive and ordinary. Wuyi gave it away too much, why would she not admit it?

"Did they find out? If they didn't find out, why would they make a good confession? If they found out, how would Gu Qingzhou fight back against me?" Si Qiongzhi was even more confused.

She was so surprised.

When an accident occurs, Si Qiongzhi can't calm down.

The expressions of several women, the commander-in-chief had a panoramic view.

"Okay, it's getting late at night, the fifth concubine should go to rest first." The commander seemed to have decided that he asked the fifth concubine's master and servant to go out first, and then said to the adjutant, "Go and call the second young master, so It's too late, let the second young master take Miss Gu home."

Si Qiongzhi's expression changed drastically.

What, does her father really think the watch is hers?

Si Qiongzhi was confused, she didn't even know which step she didn't take well.

It's clear that you won't lose!

Why did her father think she was the one who took the watch? She said that Gu Qingzhou forced it to her.

Si Qiongzhi's face changed, Xiuxiu looked at her face, thought of what she had warned, and immediately knelt down to the commander: "commander, I dare not lie, it was really my concubine who sent me to buy it, and she gave it to Gu. Miss, I still have the receipt!"

After she finished speaking, she took out the receipt from the pocket of her clothes and handed it to the commander-in-chief.

The attitude of the commander-in-chief has always been unpredictable.

He seemed calm and didn't care. As for the game arranged by Si Qiongzhi, Xiuxiu felt that the commander-in-chief should have a bigger response. How could this happen?

"Let me see..." The commander-in-chief took the receipt, looked at the model number, and said, "The one you bought and the one in my hand are not the same watch."

"But I saw with my own eyes that the fifth concubine gave it to Miss Gu!" Xiuxiu hurriedly said, "Then the watch I bought must still be on the fifth concubine. Overseer, ask the fifth concubine!"

The commander-in-chief turned around and looked at the fifth concubine.

The fifth concubine's eyes were stunned, and a strand of blue silk was half drooping, which added a bit of a clear attitude to her warm eyebrows, she was confused and ignorant.

The commander-in-chief looked over, and the fifth concubine looked at him, then turned to look at Xiuxiu: "Xiuxiu, what are you talking about?"

Xiuxiu was almost out of control at this moment.

And in Si Qiongzhi's heart, why didn't he feel up and down?

Did Gu Qingzhou already know there was something wrong with this watch? Otherwise, how did she collude with the fifth concubine?

Why do they deny it?

In their opinion, it should be just a precious watch, something common in the Overseer's House, what would they do otherwise!

Looking at the appearance of the fifth concubine, others will think that she really does not know and has not seen the watch.

But she knew that she gave it to Gu Qingzhou!

The fifth concubine's performance was so good that Si Qiongzhi was impressed. It was the first time she knew that the fifth concubine had such abilities.

Si Qiongzhi always thought that the fifth concubine was honest and honest, at least she didn't have any scheming.

Now this performance, Si Qiongzhi suddenly felt that he underestimated the fifth concubine.

"Aunt Wu, why are you lying?" Xiuxiu was in a hurry, and regardless of her superiority, she stepped forward to turn over the pocket of Wu Auntie's coat.

The fifth concubine was still stunned, letting Xiuxiu search her pockets.

Xiuxiu found a watch from the fifth concubine's coat pocket.

It is also a brand-name watch, and the price is not low.

"Overseer, look, this is the watch hidden by the fifth concubine!" Xiuxiu handed it to the governor as if offering a treasure, and the anxiety in her heart finally lessened.

As everyone knows, when she personally turned over the fifth concubine's coat pocket, the brows of the commander-in-chief were deeply frowned.

Si Qiongzhi was afraid that the governor would think too much and suspect her, so she took the opportunity to explain: "Dad, you also saw that the fifth concubine changed her watch to Sister Gu, but Sister Gu gave it to me. I don't know if it was what happened!"

Gu Qingzhou was silent.

She never explained, looking at Si Qiongzhi, then at the Director General and others, showing a puzzled expression from time to time.

The commander-in-chief suddenly stood up.

Si Qiongzhi breathed a sigh of relief, and so did Xiuxiu.

Although the plan was a bit difficult, it finally succeeded, and Si Qiongzhi was quite satisfied.

"Father finally believes it!" Si Qiongzhi sighed in his heart, it was too difficult for her to implement this plan!

Only she and Cuihua knew how much effort it took to steal this watch.

Unexpectedly, the commander-in-chief stood up and said to the fifth concubine, "Ayan, go back to your room first! Come on, take Miss Gu home!"

This time, the commander-in-chief kept Si Qiongzhi and Xiuxiu behind.

Si Qiongzhi hadn't been happy for a few seconds, but he was immediately stunned, as if a ladle of cold water had been poured over his head.

How did that happen?

Asking Gu Qingzhou and the fifth concubine to send them back shows that the commander-in-chief did not doubt them, but instead suspected Xiuxiu and Si Qiongzhi!

"Abba, how can you let them go?" Si Qiongzhi screamed sharply, "This watch is of great importance, even if it's even a tiny bit of suspicion, it needs to be interrogated more!"

When Gu Qingzhou and Wuyitai leave, they may have no suspicion at all, at least not in the Overseer's mind.

Si Qiongzhi couldn't let them go, and her play wasn't over yet.

The commander-in-chief turned around slowly, his face was solemn and dignified, with the imposing aura of Mount Tai, he held back his anger and asked Si Qiongzhi, "Qiongzhi, how do you know that this watch is of great importance?"

Si Qiongzhi buzzed in his head and almost passed out.

She is no longer fighting herself.

Since Gu Qingzhou put the watch on her wrist and her father saw her making the watch with his own eyes, Si Qiongzhi knew that he couldn't completely get rid of it.

In her plan, she doesn't have any part in it.

When Gu Qingzhou tossed her like this, Si Qiongzhi panicked. She didn't have a backup plan, nor did she think about what she should do if her father suspected her!

The person who was caught by her father wearing a watch should be Gu Qingzhou, but it turned out to be Si Qiongzhi.

Since then, Si Qiongzhi has been chaotic, and the back is full of loopholes.

"I never said that this watch is very important, Qiongzhi." The commander's voice seemed to be passed down from ancient times, showing a deep sense of disappointment.

It was only at this moment that Si Qiongzhi remembered that her father had never said it!

there has never been!

This is a very ordinary luxury watch!

This watch lies in the safe in the commander's study. Si Qiongzhi saw it by chance and thought to himself, what is his father hiding for such an ordinary gold watch?

She was also curious at the time.

"Since it was hidden, it must be very valuable." Si Qiongzhi thought so at the time.

So, she stole the watch by taking advantage of the commander's defense against her.

Si Qiongzhi promised Xiuxiu a lot of money, and asked Xiuxiu to convince the fifth concubine to give Gu Qingzhou a watch, and then asked Xiuxiu to buy a watch and put it in the fifth concubine's pocket.

Except for the person who steals the watch, no one else should know that the watch is important.

Stealing a very important watch from the military government is a military taboo, and Si Qiongzhi hopes to take this opportunity to ruin Gu Qingzhou's good image in the minds of the military governor.

Gu Qingzhou and the fifth concubine had doubts on their faces, but they were not afraid, because they also felt that it was just a watch.

A watch, what are you nervous about?

Only Si Qiongzhi was nervous.

Her nervousness had already betrayed her!

By the time she says "it's a big deal", she's already fully admitted it!

Si Qiongzhi's legs were weak and slumped to the ground.

Gu Qingzhou and the fifth concubine only had a bit of fear on their faces at this time.

Gu Qingzhou was pretending, she felt that the time had come, and she was a little scared; while the fifth concubine had always been ignorant and followed Gu Qingzhou in acting, and she didn't know that she had passed through the gate of **** until the commander's words.

Their expressions just happened to prove their innocence, and the commander-in-chief said to the adjutant, "Send the fifth concubine and Miss Gu out!"

Gu Qingzhou and the fifth concubine left the study.

As soon as she came out, the fifth concubine suddenly stretched out her hand and held Gu Qingzhou's hand tightly.

Aunt Wu was very frightened, and the more she thought about it, the more frightened she became. In addition to being frightened, thinking of Xiuxiu helping Si Qiongzhi's poison, the fifth concubine's sense of coolness surged overwhelmingly, and she almost wanted to faint.

"It's okay, fifth wife!" Gu Qingzhou stabilized her.

The fifth concubine made a choked sob in her throat, she struggled to stand firm.

Gu Qingzhou's hand gently brushed the fifth concubine's hair bun without any trace.

The fifth concubine's bun was held by Gu Qingzhou for her. In the dark, Gu Qingzhou gently carried it over. The fifth concubine felt that her hair moved slightly, but she thought it was Gu Qingzhou accidentally bumped into it.

The fifth concubine's thoughts were all on Xiuxiu, Si Qiongzhi and the watch, and she did not pay attention to Gu Qingzhou's movements.

"I should take you back to the room, but before that, I didn't know if it was appropriate." Standing in the outer courtyard of the study, Gu Qingzhou said to Mrs. Wu.

The cold rain was like sadness, slanted and densely woven, and a thin layer of water mist surrounded them. In the orange light of the street lamps, both of them looked a little pale.

"Don't bother, it's already very late, Miss Gu, go home quickly." Mrs. Wu said.

Gu Qingzhou nodded.

She followed the adjutant to the gate of the Overseer's House and then went home.

Back at home, Gu Qingzhou locked the doorman. There was a bearing-like gadget in her palm, but it was the size of a pearl and could not be easily found.

This is what Gu Qingzhou took out of the gold watch.

When the fifth concubine gave her the gold watch, she went to the bathroom, fearing that there would be hidden organs in it, Gu Qingzhou moved it with a silver needle, and found that the bearing could move.

She didn't know what it was, so she took it out.

She made an excuse to hold the fifth concubine's hair, hide it in the fifth concubine's bun, and wear it with a strand of fine hair.

She was afraid of making a noise.

Unexpectedly, the commander-in-chief did not doubt her.

Until he left the governor's mansion, Gu Qingzhou deliberately brushed the fifth concubine's bun and took it out without a trace.
