Xu Qingyin didn't ask for anyone's opinion before she asked, "If the pearl isn't on me, then do you agree to being searched?"
It was Lu Jiao's turn to answer confidently, "Sure, if we cannot find the pearl on you, you can search me."
Beside her, Xie Yunjin shot her a look. Given her calm expression, he was sure she had figured out a way to handle this.
Soundlessly, Xie Yunjin watched the situation unfold.
Xu Qingyin wasn't afraid to have herself searched because she was confident the pearl was in Lu Jiao's pouch.
Xu Qingyin was about to ask someone to go to a different room with her when Lu Jiao suggested, "Lady Xu, there's no reason for so much trouble. A pearl isn't a common object. If you move around, it will fall. Can you please twirl around and see if any pearls fall down?"
Xu Qingyin was very cooperative. She twirled in one direction, then the next. And naturally, nothing fell out of her.
