Xie Ruotong just watched as the house servants searched her room.
Inside and out.
They left no place unchecked.
They searched for the duration of an incense stick.
But found nothing.
However, Xie Ruotong dared not to let her guard down even for a moment.
Even though nothing had been found now, she was well aware that this was merely Xie Ruilin's Blinding Technique.
If the evidence was found too arrogantly, it would certainly raise suspicions.
"Reporting to the madam, we found nothing," a servant respectfully reported.
Ming Yufang nodded.
She said, "Actually, I didn't really think that Ruotong's room would hide these stolen goods, and you, Ruotong, are not this kind of person. However, the reason for doing this search was to prove your innocence, to avoid others' gossip. Ruotong, you must understand, my intentions are for your own good."
"Mother, I understand," Xie Ruotong echoed.
But she did not dare to say more.
