She thought it was simple, since Elisa couldn't speak, framing her wouldn't matter.
It was better than blabbing in front of everyone about her poaching the Zhu family's staff.
"Smack!"
Shi Youxuan's face fell as she slapped the table and stood up, shouting at her, "What do you mean? Are you saying I condoned Elisa stealing your things?"
The Zhu family was the richest in L country, while the Zhang family was just a minor official in the clean-water yamen.
Any item Shi Youxuan could casually present was worth a lifetime's earnings for the Zhang family; accusing her of stealing Madam Zhang's things was a huge joke, and no one would believe it.
People looked at each other, some whispering, some covering their mouths to stifle laughter, and some ready to enjoy the show; in any case, not a soul believed it.
Madam Zhang's face went from red to white, as she hadn't expected Shi Youxuan to leave her without any dignity, going so far as to straight-out accuse her.
