Chapter 820
Bella Qiao’s eyes were calm and looked up at her, then at Zhang Feng.
Then only then did he say in a deep voice, “This surveillance image has been tampered with, and the person who stole the bird’s nest was not Zhang Feng.”
“What?”
Everyone was stunned and a little surprised.
Not Zhang Feng?Who could that be?
Everyone was on edge, and you were all wondering who had touched those bird’s nests.
Yusra Lin also frowned.
Since she was standing not far from Jackie, she was able to see the image on the computer screen in front of Jackie at a glance.
It was obvious that she hadn’t seen anyone else touch that locker at all, so how could she suddenly make a judgment that Zhang Feng hadn’t taken it?
Is she trying to open her eyes to a lie?
So, she was very disgruntled and spoke up.
“Bella Qiao, I know that you also have good intentions and want to justify this cook surnamed Zhang, but when you are born, you have to have the most basic sense of right and wrong, right?The picture on this computer clearly shows no one, just Zhang Feng opening the cupboard to get something, how can you conclude that the bird’s nest wasn’t taken by her?”
Bella Qiao looked up and gave her a cold look.
I don’t know if it was Yusra Lin’s illusion, but she suddenly felt that the way Bella Qiao was looking at her was a little strange.
It’s like…looking at a retard!
In reaction, Yusra Lin’s heart leaped up in anger.
However, before she could strike, Joaki spoke up.
She said in a deep voice, “The surveillance footage from a few days, from beginning to end, did only show Zhang Feng opening that cabinet, but that doesn’t mean that the bird’s nest was changed by her.”
Yusra Lin was puzzled, “She’s the only one who touched the cabinet, why can’t we prove that she changed it?”
Jochie paused, and then looked at her with some annoyance.
Xiao Yue couldn’t help herself and spoke up, “Miss Lin, please can you wait until our Miss Qiao has finished her speech before asking questions next time?Miss Qiao hasn’t even finished talking yet how do you want people to answer you?”
Yusra Lin: “…and…”
She gritted her teeth and snorted at last, “She talks so slow, who knows if she’s finished?Really!Young Nori speaks like an old woman, and those who don’t know it think the youth has an early shift.”
As soon as this was said, not only Xiao Yue, but also Gu Si Qian’s eyes went a little colder.
However, it was clear that no one there wanted to bother her with such questions.
Bella Qiao spoke in a light tone, “The reason why I say that the things were not taken by Zhang Feng is because, this surveillance picture has been tampered with, the place where I just asked Xiao Yue to pause is the place that has been tampered with, if you have any disbelief, you can come over and take a closer look.”
When she finished, everyone was surprised, so everyone leaned in to watch.
Gu Si Qian didn’t even have to lean over, he had good eyesight, in fact, he had already noticed this detail the few extra times Bella Qiao had just played it.
Perhaps the other side’s technique was not up to the task, so the image, though edited, revealed a small flaw.
Right where Georgie had just asked Moon to pause, there was a back that had clearly just taken one foot out to leave the image, but the next second, the entire body was gone.
The picture was completely empty of him.
This is odd.
For it is reasonable to say that there is a trajectory of human movement, and departure cannot be a sudden disappearance, but rather a process of taking a step.
Now in this case, it’s obvious that there’s another section of the image that was cut in the middle, and that person overlooked that little detail when they cut it.
It was just a matter of hurrying to splice the back of the picture with the front, so that it constituted such an ouroboros.
This, like, everyone gets it.
“Oh my God!Who could that be?Who would have edited this surveillance over?”
“The person who edited the clip must be the one who switched the bird’s nest around!”
“But we can’t even edit the video, so I don’t think it’s our kitchen that did this.”
Everyone was talking about it for a while.
Yusra Lin saw the situation, and at this point, she also vaguely realized that this matter only really had nothing to do with Zhang Feng.
She couldn’t help but be a little annoyed at the moment, originally thinking of reflecting her cleverness and ability in front of Gu Si Qian for once, but unexpectedly ended up making a mess of things.
In order to keep Bella Qiao from being superior to herself in front of Gu Siqian, so she had to go one way to the dark side.
Thinking of this, Yusra Lin even said, “Although the video has been edited, but that doesn’t mean that the things aren’t taken by Zhang Feng ah, maybe it’s because she switched the bag before she thought that there was surveillance filming, so she returned to edit the surveillance over?”
Everyone was dumbfounded when that was said.
Yeah, that’s a possibility too.
However, Zhang Feng was busy waving his hand.
“No, I, I don’t cut any videos at all, and all the surveillance in the castle is manned, and no one can get those without the young master’s orders.”
That’s true.
After all, Gu Si Qian’s identity was special, and the security in the castle had always been very tight.
Naturally, something as important as surveillance can’t be touched by anyone who wants to.
Thinking of this, Bella Qiao looked up and directed her gaze at Gu Si Qian who had been standing beside her as a wallflower.
Kusken raised his eyebrows and understood what she meant.
So, turning around, one of the men in charge of surveillance was called in.
The only person he called was a young man who looked to be in his mid-twenties, with slightly disheveled hair and a pair of glasses, a gentle man of culture at a glance.
On the way here, he already knew the reason why Gu Siqian had called him over this time.
Therefore, as soon as he came over, he held his glasses on the bridge of his nose and honestly explained, “I’m responsible for installing all the surveillance on the secondary floor, but since the kitchen side is far away from the main control room, a separate switchboard was installed in that lounge next to it, and since I’m responsible for the entire secondary floor, I can’t be here very often, so the server room here is usually locked.”
Bella Qiao sniffed and asked, “Are you the only one who has the key too?”
The man nodded and fished a key out of his pocket.
“Yes, I have the key over here, and only this one.”
Georgie took the key over and looked at it, her eyes dark.
It’s a bit bizarre when things get to this point.
At this time, Xiao Yue didn’t know what came to her mind and suddenly said, “So then, it’s even more unlikely that Sister Zhang is the one who swapped the bird’s nest?After all, the person who swapped the bird’s nest is the one who edited the video, and let’s not talk about whether Sister Zhang can edit the video or not, she can’t get into that machine room without a key ah.”
Her words were a wake-up call.
Chapter 821
The rest of them followed suit.
“Yeah, that’s right.”
“Who can get in without a key?It can’t be flying in!”
“So it shouldn’t be our kitchen that did this.”
Someone with a much clearer head saw the situation and said something.
“Could someone have stolen the key and put it back for you?”
The young man who was in charge of monitoring the situation shook his head at the news.
“No way, I keep my keys close to myself, they never leave my person, so there’s no way they could be stolen.”
That was a bit confusing.
No one stole the key, but the surveillance video and indeed was tampered with, can’t be really ghosts do?
Thinking about it, someone had already changed their face.
Of course Bella Qiao wouldn’t believe there were ghosts in the world.
Her face was pale and her eyes were cold and steady, sweeping over each and every face in front of her.
Finally, the eyes fell on a young girl who had been standing in the corner.
The girl looked very young, no more than sixteen or seventeen, not reasonably old enough to work.
But Georgie remembered passing by the garden once before and overhearing the maids gossiping that she had been here three years.
It’s only sixteen or seventeen now, and three years ago, it was only thirteen or fourteen!
Excluding the fact that Gu Si Qian actually let such a small girl work as a maid here, at that time, Bella Qiao heard it and felt some sorrow and sympathy, and because of that, she paid a little more attention to her.
At this point, she just kept her head down and her head was almost buried in her chest.
The hands placed in front of him had been restlessly and vigorously strangling the corners of his coat, and he looked both nervous and frightened.
Bella Qiao was not confused.
“What’s wrong with you?”She asked suddenly.
Everyone froze and turned to look at the girl following her gaze.
About to feel the gaze, the girl looked up, revealing a pale, overwhelmed face.
“I, I didn’t much…”
It was in denial, but the voices were shaking and it was clear that they were guilty.
Bella Qiao’s eyes sank.
At this point, Yusra Lin also saw that something was wrong.
She wasn’t stupid, but with a twinkle in her eye, she had figured it out and immediately took charge, pulling the girl out of the pile of people with one hand.
“Say!Did you steal the bird’s nest?”
Her voice was tinged with a little bit of anger, and the girl was so frightened that she didn’t even struggle, but just kneeled down with a “poof”.
“I didn’t!I didn’t steal it!I picked up those bird’s nests in the garden!”
Everyone was shocked when that was said.
Moon thought of something, her eyes cold, and turned her head.
Bella Qiao didn’t stop her, and sure enough, soon after she came over with several boxes of excellent bird’s nests.
It was very ugly.
“Miss Jo, found it!”
She handed several boxes of bird’s nests to Bella Qiao.
Bella Qiao took a look at it, then turned it over to Zhang Feng.
“Sister Zhang, can you see if these are the boxes?”
Sister Zhang took a look at it and turned pale.
Nodding repeatedly, “Yes!That’s all.”
I said, turning my head, my eyes falling incredulously on the girl, “It’s actually you!How could you do such a foolish thing!As valuable as these bird’s nests are, can they be worth as much as your reputation?How could you do something like steal?”
The girl’s name was Xiaoyu, and because she was young, she was usually taken care of by Sister Zhang and others over here.
Everyone already had some sympathy for her, plus she was sweet and hardworking, so they almost all treated her like a sister already.
However, I never thought that the sister, who is usually so cute and sweet in front of them, would do something sneaky behind their backs, and almost caused Zhang Feng to lose her job and get a crime for nothing, so everyone was naturally angry and chilled.
Jade just shook her head repeatedly at the sight, her face already in tears.
“It’s really not me, Sister Zhang, I didn’t steal the bird’s nest, these are the ones I picked up in the garden.”
Yusra Lin shouted harshly, “Nonsense!It was in the kitchen cupboard with the ingredients, how could you find it in the garden?Make up a decent one even if you’re lying!”
Jade didn’t know how to explain this to her for a moment, so she just knelt there and kept crying.
At that moment, another servant stepped forward and said, “Since that’s all that’s been said, I might as well get right to it.”
I said, and gave Jade a bit of a struggling look.
But about the end of the conscience prevailed, she said truthfully: “A bunch of us helpers, are not very educated, but Jade is different, she went to high school, she knows more about computers ah these, and will use the computer p picture to make videos and so on, I think if she really let her edit a video, it should not be impossible to do.”
As she said this, a few people beside her chimed in.
Yusra Lin became even more proud of the situation.
“That’s not it?You have the bird’s nest, and you’re the only one of everyone who can edit video, so who switched this thing if not you?Could it be that Bella Qiao and I switched and deliberately set you up?”
As she said this, she even tilted her head slightly and looked at Bella Qiao.
Obviously, a little uncomfortable with something like bringing her and herself into one side of the fence.
Although Jade was still shaking her head, she couldn’t say anything in reply except “I’m not” and “I’m not”.
But how puerile a rebuttal like that would seem at this point in time.
Bella Qiao looked at the situation and knit her brows slightly.
With her instincts, she felt that the girl might not be lying about what she was saying.
But the evidence was in front of her and she couldn’t say anything.
I could only look up at Ober and say in a deep voice, “Ober, I’ll leave this matter to you.”
Ober now sank to his knees and nodded.
To Jade, he said, “Considering you’re a first-time offender and young, I won’t call the police to send you to jail, from today onwards, you’re out of here and you’re never to be seen around here again, got it?”
After saying that, he also looked at Gu Si Qian, as if asking for instructions.
Kusken didn’t open his mouth, which meant he agreed.
Only then did Ober order two more servants, “You go and help her pack her things and send her away.”
The two maids whispered yes, Xiaoyu still can’t stop crying, Zhang Sister heard in the end also a bit intolerant.
Although she had made a mistake, she was still young enough to say that she might have been momentarily haunted.
So, also walking over, he coldly said, “Still crying?What’s the point of crying when you make a mistake?Take a moat and learn from it, and don’t make the same mistake again when you go to the new owner’s place, understand?”
Jade nodded jerkily and choked out, “Understood.”
Chapter 822
The group of people just sent Jade away.
Ober’s disposition, in anyone’s opinion, is considered merciful.
But Bella Qiao was always a little uneasy.
I don’t know why, but she always felt that a little girl like Jade shouldn’t be the one to do this.
But at this point, all the evidence pointed to her, and she herself could find no reason to refute it, so the matter had to be dropped.
A farce has finally ended.

A farce has finally ended.
Bella Qiao was a little tired and asked Xiao Yue to take her back to her room.
As I passed by the corridor, I saw Zhang Feng and a few other maids, with Jade, coming out from the servant’s room side and heading for the front door.
Jade had a simple suitcase in her hands and a backpack on her back, which was probably all she had here.
She was still crying, wiping her tears with the back of her hand as she did so.
At the same time, they were still nodding their heads, as if they were promising what Sister Zhang and the others had told her to do.
Georgie watched, sighing inwardly.
Turn around and head to your room.
Naturally, her lunch break was abandoned when they made such a scene.
In the afternoon, another two hours of darts practice were spent in the room until dinner time.
It was already summer, it was dark late, and the castle was not hot because it was built on a lake and high ground.
In the evening, after the sun had set, the lake sent the night breeze blowing in, which instead had a refreshing coolness to it.
Bella Qiao was in a good mood today and didn’t dine in her room, but of course, she wouldn’t dine with Yusra Lin in the public dining room on the secondary floor, so she just called for Xiao Yue and set up dinner on the first floor terrace for use.
The terrace on the first floor was facing the lake, and at this time of night, it was only seven o’clock in the evening, and it was still dark, but the lights were already on.
There was already moonlight creeping out of the sky, a shallow bend of the moon, reflected in the surface of the lake, sparkling like a pool of shattered silver.
Jackie didn’t bother to make room, so she just sat in her wheelchair, in an excellent mood for dinner with such a beautiful lake and moonlight.
Moon was not to be used with her, she had used it earlier, and at this point, was just standing around serving.
Bella Qiao had never been fond of this kind of stance, and even less fond of the stinky old-time young master-like habits that Gu Si Qian had established.
So, originally, I also let her sit down with me, even if I don’t eat, drink and talk with her.
But Moon was adamant, saying only that if she had to speak, she could do so just as well standing up.
Bella Qiao saw the situation, so she didn’t force it.
The night breeze is gentle, the vegetables are fragrant, and the atmosphere is beautiful and tranquil.
As Georgie ate her dinner, she chatted with Moon, either about the recent events at the castle or listened to Moon talk about her family.
That’s how Bella Qiao realized that she was an orphan.
Moon had grown up in an orphanage, and as for her real parents, she couldn’t remember what they looked like.
I just remember that when I was a kid, my family was poor, so poor that I couldn’t even open a pot.
One day she was sick and burning hot, even her head was in a fog.
In the dim consciousness of her mother, she sat on her bed and cried all night, and early the next morning, she was carried up to town and left at the door of the orphanage.
She was so young, no more than three or four years old, that she supposedly couldn’t remember a lot of things.
But the image of her mother’s back when she was leaving has been engraved in her mind, and she will never forget it until the day she dies.
Then, she grew up safely in an orphanage, and then, halfway through school, she couldn’t finish because her grades weren’t good enough, so she went out to work.
It’s not a special life, Georgie listened, and gradually thought of herself.
So, we’re all just a bunch of losers, huh?
After Qiao’s mother died, the only family she had left was Tang Qi Qi, and now Tang Qi Qi was dead.
The thought of it hurt again.
Xiao Yue reluctantly smiled, “In fact, it’s good to think about it, no relatives have no attachments, when you do many things, it’s much more unrestrained and decisive, it won’t be like dragging a family, there is always a hang-up.”
Georgie nodded, “Yeah.”
The voice was misty, like a sigh.
They were both silent for a moment.
Just then, I suddenly heard a squealing voice from downstairs.
“Don’t be ridiculous!Si Qian is not the kind of person you are talking about, he is only sending these things over to compensate me, which is not as exaggerated as you say.”
“Well, don’t you know the temper of the young master?If he doesn’t have anyone in mind, how can he remember to give her something?”
“That’s right, the front foot knew that your bird’s nest had been swapped, and the back foot immediately had it replenished again with the finest bird’s nest over, and not only that, there were many other supplements, and both Peach and I just looked at them, and they were all excellent good things.”
These words caused Yusra Lin’s voice to become more and more tinted with a hint of sweetness.
“Okay, okay, just you guys are quick with your mouths, show me what’s good enough to make you so happy.”
The group immediately laughed, “Good grin, I’ll take you there.”
A group of warblers made their way to the kitchen.
Moon looked at it with a scowl on her face and snorted, “Shameless vixen.”
Bella Qiao didn’t say anything, her eyebrows were uneven.
Xiao Yue looked at her face and carefully said, “Miss Qiao, don’t think too much, Young Master he also didn’t just give it to Yusra Lin, you also have it here, but we don’t think it’s rare, so we didn’t make as much fanfare about it as they did.”
I said, and snickered again.
“It’s just some ordinary nourishing ingredients, like how much the concubine was rewarded in the ancient times, Yusra Lin’s insight is not worthy of Mrs. Gu’s position.”
Bella Qiao said indifferently, “Whether she deserves it or not is none of our business.”
I said, and took another sip of tea down.
Moon saw the situation and couldn’t decide if she really didn’t care or if she was pretending to.
It could only be whispered, “You bet.”
After Bella Qiao finished her tea, she asked Xiao Yue to remove her things.
Originally, she wanted to sit for a little while longer and then go back to her room to rest, but unexpectedly, as soon as Xiao Yue had left, Yusra Lin twisted her waist and came over with a smile on her face.
“Yo, I’ve been looking for you all day, so here you are.”
It was now evening, but she had changed into a fine aqua blue dress, and her hair and makeup could be seen to have been well taken care of, so it was no exaggeration to say she was dressed up.
