The grace of rebirth after abandonment
Chapter 112 Interrogation
"Miss, Xi'er next to Aunt Liu seems to have some problems..." Frowning, Qiushuang thought for a while, and finally expressed her doubts.
"How to say?" With a smile on her face, Su Lanzhi knew that there would be many dangers and troubles around her in the future, so she hoped that the people around her would be smart, so that they would not be used and harmed in the future harm.
"That Xi'er, when I went out, I didn't buy the rice paper in a hurry, but went to a teahouse first, stayed there for a long time, and then came out." As for what to do there, Qiushuang asked Yuetao and I went, but the teahouse was separated by a wall, and I didn't find anything when I went in. It's just that Qiushuang is cautious, and if she finds something wrong, she will naturally tell Su Lanzhi.
"Oh, really?" She raised her eyebrows, and Su Lanzhi knew that Aunt Liu hadn't been able to find any news recently, so she wanted to ask for help, but she didn't know if the person she was asking for could help her Woolen cloth?
"Miss, according to Yuetao, the person Xi'er is going to see is Nanny Ye..." When she said this, Qiushuang carefully observed Su Lanzhi's expression.
In fact, everyone knows that Aunt Liu was the maidservant next to Princess Qing, so it is no secret that Aunt Liu belongs to Princess Qing.
Due to Bai Xin's deliberate suppression these years, there is no contact between Aunt Liu and Princess Qing, but now that Bai Xin is dead, Aunt Liu wants to find a backer, and Princess Qing is the best chosen.
It's just that it's no secret that Old Princess Qing doesn't like Murong Yan and Su Lanzhi. Maybe there's something wrong with Aunt Liu asking people around her to contact Nanny Ye?
"Is it Nanny Ye?" Although it was a question, Su Lanzhi's tone was very calm, as if she had expected it a long time ago.
However, what she didn't expect was that Mother Ye would personally take action on this matter. It seems that Old Princess Qing is also in a hurry now, so she wants to restart Aunt Liu's eyeliner.
Sure enough, he is not afraid of making a fuss, and just now he can talk, and then he is restless again!
"Miss, do you want to restrict Aunt Liu and the people around her from going out in the future?" Su Lanzhi did not hide the matter of Murong Yan's pregnancy from the four first-class maids around her. For the sake of convenience, of course, the more important thing is to test.
"That's not necessary!" She was worried that she couldn't find an excuse to offend Aunt Liu, now that Aunt Liu had created an opportunity for her, of course she wanted to make good use of it.
"But Miss, will there be any trouble if you do it like this? After all, Madam..." Of course, Qiushuang knew the meaning of the child in Murong Yan's belly to the prime minister's mansion and to Su Lanzhi.
If Murong Yan gets a boy in one fell swoop, then they don't have to worry about Su Zhenhua, and Su Lanzhi can have a guarantee in the future.
"It's okay, I've already made arrangements for my mother, and nothing will happen." Su Qinglan has already sent many people to guard the Yanyun Pavilion, and some of them are hidden masters. As long as Murong Yan stays in Yanyun Court, I think there will be no problem.
"Then what is the lady going to do?" Seeing Su Lanzhi's confident face, Qiushuang naturally knew that Su Lanzhi had changed a lot these days, and at this moment she respected her master more and more. To Su Lanzhi, It can also be said to be obedient.
"This Aunt Liu has been too restless these days. If she stays, it will always be a disaster!" Aunt Liu will be eyelinering the old Princess Qing in one day, Su Lanzhi is really worried.
This person needs to be dealt with as soon as possible.
"What do you think the lady did?"
"Aunt Liu is very careful on weekdays, and she always lets Xi'er beside her do things. If she wants to do it herself, she has to deal with Xi'er first." Because she is careful, the people who can be trusted are also Very rarely, if you want to force the other party to come out, you have to get rid of Xi'er first!
"Miss, what do you mean?"
"Qiu Shuang, Yunzhu, I'll leave this matter to you guys, finish it as soon as possible, so as not to cause side effects." The sooner the unstable factors around me are resolved, the better. After waiting for a long time and preparing for a long time, it's time. Time to deal with it.
"Miss, don't worry!"
……
The group negotiated some details, and in the end, as if nothing happened, Su Lanzhi went to report to Su Qinglan that she had returned. Su Qinglan was very worried at first, but seeing that there was nothing on Su Lanzhi's face, she finally felt relieved .
"How about Ms. Xue's funeral?" Leaving at such an age is indeed embarrassing, with no children to die, no husband, and only a thin coffin.
"It's a little cold, and I was worried that some people would take the opportunity to make trouble, but I didn't see anyone from other prefectures going to mourn the funeral." This is what Su Lanzhi finds strange. After all, his status is there, and some people who have close contacts will go there.
If they don't go now, it only shows one possibility, that is, Duke Fu Guo and his family have explained it in advance.
This kind of cognition made the weirdness in Su Lanzhi's heart even more layered, especially when she thought of the cold light on her back before she left, Su Lanzhi felt very familiar.
"Miss Xue is also pitiful..." Su Qinglan didn't say anything about the rest, some things were too dark, Su Qinglan didn't want Su Lanzhi to get in touch with too much, "That's the end of this matter, don't think too much .”
"Well!" Xue Lingyun didn't make her sad, Su Lanzhi didn't care!
"Your mother is pregnant with a child now, and it's boring to think about it. When you are free, you can spend more time with her. She also has someone to talk to. If she wants something, I told you. If there is no one in the mansion, you can tell her." I, I will find a way." Obviously she is concerned, but sometimes, if she wants to meet face to face, the other party doesn't appreciate it, so Su Qinglan has no choice but to take such a roundabout way.
As long as the other party is good, and whether the other party knows or not, then why should we care too much?
"Daddy, I understand." Even if Su Qinglan didn't explain this matter, Su Lanzhi would do it.Now the child in Murong Yan's womb is not just a simple child, that child, the future of Guan Xiangfu, also places their expectations, and is the key to turning the timing around.Whether it's Murong Yan, Su Qinglan, or Su Lanzhi, the expectations for this child are very complicated.
"Then you go to your mother's place. It's time for lunch now. If you accompany her, she can eat more!"
"Okay!" Seeing that Su Qinglan didn't move, Su Lanzhi felt a little strange, "Isn't Daddy going with you?" In the past, Su Qinglan had always eaten with them, but today, it doesn't seem to mean that ?
"I still have some official documents here that I haven't read. I'll go later. You go to accompany her first!"
"The daughter is resigning!" She went out gently and closed the door. When Su Lanzhi arrived at Yanyun Pavilion, she saw Xi'er and a second-class maid in Yanyun Pavilion sneaking there from a distance. Su Lanzhi saw Now, as if he didn't care at all, he smiled, "What are you doing?"
The questioning tone suddenly appeared, which scared Xi'er and the second-class maid a little.
"Elder, Missy!" Frightened, the second-class maid hurriedly put her hands on her back, and Su Lan Zhiming saw something in the other's hand. It must have been a bribe from Xi'er, but Su Lanzhi didn't point it out. that is.
"Are you the maid in the mother's yard? I've seen you before!" Looking at the second-class maid, Su Lanzhi's tone was light and unspeakably friendly, but she didn't know if the maid had a guilty conscience. I feel like I'm sweating from the cold.
"Yes, yes, miss, the maidservant is responsible for cleaning the courtyard!" She hid her right hand tightly behind her, and the second-class maid was really worried, afraid that Su Lanzhi would see something.
Now the master is very concerned about his wife. Recently, he has photographed some maidservants one after another. Although she is only a second-class maid, she has also noticed that something is wrong.
"It seems to be, but you look familiar. Are you from the mother's yard?" She looked at Xi'er beside her with probing eyes. Although Su Lanzhi knew who the other party was, she pretended not to know, so Xi'er Hearing this, Er'er breathed a sigh of relief, "Miss and nobles forget things a lot, and it's common to not remember slaves and maidservants." She didn't say who she was, and she didn't deny that she wasn't from Murong Ya's compound. Xi'er was also a smart person, It's just that it's a little clever, and it doesn't seem to be used on the right path.
"What are you two doing here? Why have you left your work behind?" The maids in every courtyard have their own responsibilities. When they should do something, they must do it. It is absolutely impossible. Lazy, otherwise it is possible to be punished, or sold directly.
"Eldest, eldest miss, this maidservant has finished her work, but she is a little busy, I just want to ask her for help!" The second-class maid did not dare to report Xi'er's name, but was vague, for fear of being punished.
"Well, it's good not to delay things, and don't be secretive and silent before, making people look ugly!"
"Yes, miss!" Startled, the two maids were extremely nervous, for fear that Su Lanzhi would find an excuse to punish them, their faces were full of sincerity and fear.
"Okay, go and do it yourself!" Su Lanzhi just gave Yunzhu a look, and Yunzhu understood. After Xi'er left, walking on the road, she suddenly saw an emerald bracelet , the jade is very crisp and tender, there seems to be floating light flowing inside, as if alive, and the workmanship is very good, when Xi'er saw it, a touch of ecstasy crossed her face, she looked around, but she didn't see anyone, He hurriedly put the bracelet away, feeling elated at the windfall, and happily went back to his life.
When she came to Aunt Liu's courtyard, seeing Aunt Liu's anxious look, Xi'er touched the bracelet in her bosom, although she was happy in her heart, she looked annoyed.
"How is it? But what did you ask?" Aunt Liu sent a message back, that she must know about Murong Yan's physical condition as soon as possible, so Aunt Liu sent Xi'er to inquire.
This time, Aunt Liu was smart enough to ask Xi'er to prepare a lot of belongings, and she only selected the second-class maids in Murong Yan's yard, so as not to attract too much attention.
At first, I thought it would be possible to investigate one or two, and it would be worse to go back, but seeing Xi'er's gloomy face, Aunt Liu had a bad premonition, "Is something wrong?"
"Auntie, this servant was looking for that big girl today and gave her some silver. She was going to talk about it, but the eldest lady came suddenly, and this servant didn't have time to say anything." Thinking about the silver that was sent out Xi'er also felt that it was a pity, it would be great if it belonged to her, hey!
"Didn't the eldest miss go to the master's place? How did you meet?" Aunt Liu asked Xi'er to go quickly when Su Lanzhi went to Su Qinglan's place, but she didn't expect that Su Lanzhi was at Su Qinglan's place Just stay for a short time.
"I don't know, I didn't know. I took advantage of the lack of people and secretly went to find the big lady. I didn't expect that the eldest lady appeared suddenly before I said a few words. The servant was scared to death!" Thinking The scene at that time, I don't know if it was because they were too engrossed in the chat, or Su Lanzhi's footsteps were too light, and she suddenly appeared behind them, which made her still have lingering fears!
"What did the eldest lady find? Did she ask you?" I was really worried that Su Lanzhi would suspect her. Wouldn't it be even more troublesome for her to do things by then?
"Don't worry, Auntie, the young lady didn't recognize the servant girl!" Xi'er was not worried about this, and since Su Lanzhi didn't recognize her, she wasn't too worried.
"Didn't recognize you?" Aunt Liu couldn't believe it. Xi'er was her confidant, so she always brought Xi'er with her on weekdays. Su Lanzhi also met Xi'er. But I didn't recognize it. Is there something wrong with this?
"Yeah, the servant was also worried at the beginning, but the young lady felt that the servant looked familiar, but she didn't remember who it was, so the servant responded vaguely and perfunctory." Thinking of the scene just now, Xi'er suddenly felt I am extraordinarily clever.
Fortunately, she knows how to pretend, otherwise, it will be troublesome when the time comes.
"Really?" Aunt Liu was a little puzzled and perplexed. She always felt that Su Lanzhi was not such a forgetful person, but Xi'er didn't need to lie to her. Aunt Liu couldn't tell what happened, but she just felt very uneasy, " Did the eldest lady say anything else? When you came back, did something unusual happen?" Always ask, so that you can feel at ease!
After hearing Aunt Liu's question, Xi'er felt a little scared, but thinking of the unexpected money she got, how could Xi'er be willing to hand it over?
"Auntie is worrying too much, it's normal when the slaves come back!"
"Really?" Why did she feel so uneasy?Looking at Xi'er, Aunt Liu felt uneasy, she just didn't want to show it in front of the other party, "Don't go out these few days, just stay in the yard for a while, and I'll let you inquire after a while! "Although she obeyed Princess Yulaoqing, she didn't want to die because of it. Now, it's better to be careful, after all, no one in this mansion is vegetarian!
"Then aunt, what should I do with the matter that the old concubine told me?" The old concubine Qing asked them to inquire about the situation as soon as possible. Now that she can't go out, who will complete this matter?
"Right now, the Yanyun Pavilion is surrounded by water, so we don't want to do too much, so as not to be suspected, we should just wait and see what happens!" If people doubt it, then the loss outweighs the gain.
"But the old concubine..."
"You don't need to worry about this matter, you just listen to me and go down!"
"Yes!" Just now, Xi'er hastily picked up the thing, and Xi'er knew that it was valuable, so she didn't look at it carefully just now, so it's good to take a look at it now.
++++++++++++++++++++++ dividing line
"Mom, eat more. Today the cook cooks your favorite dishes. You have to show your face!" The three of Su Lanzhi's family ate happily, and Murong Yan's face was also rare. Not many, but occasionally I would add some of Murong Yan's favorite dishes, and the dinner was enjoyable.
"Yan'er, Lan'er is right, you should eat more, your body will be better this way!" Smiling, Su Qinglan was already very satisfied with the current situation, he didn't dare to ask Murong Yan to forgive him immediately, as long as If the other party is willing to look at him, talk to him well, and no longer reject him, he is already very satisfied.
"Don't bother to bring me food. I'll do it myself. I am not without arms and legs. I can eat by myself." Looking at the hills piled up in her bowl, Murong Yan felt a little helpless Although she felt cared for in her heart, Murong Yan was still not used to it.
"You are now the object of special care, you just need to take care of yourself." After finishing speaking, she wanted to bring food to Murong Yan, but Murong Yan quickly stopped her, "Master, I can come by myself, the food in this bowl There are really too many things, no matter how much there is, the concubine will not be able to eat it."
Seeing Murong Yan say that, Su Qinglan seemed to have noticed the bowl in front of Murong Yan, she couldn't help but smiled awkwardly, and put the dish back into her own bowl, "Then eat slowly, eat slowly !" Hey, I'm only focusing on picking up vegetables, so I have to think about it, can Yan'er eat it?
"Yan'er, do these dishes suit your taste? Is there anything you really want to eat? I can ask the kitchen to make it quickly." Su Qinglan was afraid that Murong Yan wouldn't be able to eat well and would lose weight. Su Qinglan was almost dying of nervousness right now.
"It's enough, it's all good, master, don't be too nervous." She didn't want to be treated as if she was a Liuli person, which would make her feel that she seemed useless and fragile.
"Hehe, yes, I'm too nervous." It's a great blessing to have a child in the middle age, and it makes Su Qinglan feel a little ecstatic until now, which is really incredible.
"Master, you can eat too." After eating quietly, Murong Yan got used to being quiet. After they finished their meal, they chatted about some homework. Murong Yan looked sleepy, and Su Lanzhi and Su Qinglan left wisely. .
Walking on the road, Su Lanzhi gave Yunzhu a wink, and Yunzhu understood, "Miss, the old lady sent some gifts over just now, is the lady going to take a look later?" Mrs. Jingbeihou also He loved Murong Yan and Su Lanzhi dearly. The two of them had just been back for two days, and they couldn't wait to send gifts over there.
"Grandmother is really expensive. I always send these things here. I am really embarrassed." Thinking of Mrs. Jingbeihou's kindness, Su Lanzhi felt a little warmth in her heart, and the smile on her face, It is also bright like the warm spring.
"Isn't it? The old lady always said that the lady and the lady dress too plainly on weekdays. Every time the lady and the lady go, the old lady always gives the lady and the lady some jewelry in a different way. When the lady and the lady come , the old lady also gave each a bracelet, the servants looked at it, the color of the bracelets is very good, and it matches the emerald green dress of the lady today!" Good jadeite is very natural and plump, of course it is a good thing.
"No, I just looked good this morning, so Yuetao let me wear it." After finishing speaking, Su Lanzhi raised her hand subconsciously, but it turned out that her hand was bulging, which made her a little surprised, "Could it be I remembered wrongly, didn't I wear it today?"
"Miss is not mistaken, this maidservant remembered seeing it just now." The tone was very certain, and Yunzhu looked at Su Lanzhi's bare wrist, also worried.
It's really a pity to lose such a precious bracelet.
"Then where did you go?" After thinking about it, Su Lanzhi didn't even think about where she went, and she was also a little anxious.
"Did it fall?"
"That's my grandmother's wish, so what if I lose it?"
"Miss, don't worry, this servant will let someone look for it!"
"Okay, let the person who is looking for it send it back if it finds it, and I will reward her heavily!"
"Miss, don't worry, this servant remembers that the lady still wore it on the way to the madam's yard, presumably she lost it on the way, this servant will let someone find it!"
"Well, you go!" Watching Yunzhu go away worriedly, Su Lanzhi frowned tightly, and seemed very annoyed, "Why was I so careless to take the things my grandmother gave me? Did it fall off? Grandma knows, so she should be worried."
"Lan'er doesn't need to think too much. Since Yunzhu said you dropped it on the road, it's easy to find if you think about it. Maybe the servants will return it if they pick it up."
"I hope, but my daughter is still a little worried that some people will take advantage of it." This was a wake-up call for Su Qinglan. Su Qinglan frowned after hearing this, "The servants of the Xiangfu have always been strict, and you must not be greedy for petty things." Cheap!" Once people like to be greedy for cheap things, it is easy for people to take advantage of their loopholes, not to mention the past, even now Murong Yan's body, Su Qinglan dare not be careless.
So this kind of thing must be resolutely put an end to it!
"I hope that the person who picked it up can return it? That bracelet is extremely precious, and it must be loved by my grandmother. If my grandmother asks one day, I will not be able to explain it."
"Well, look for it first, if you can't find it, let someone search it!" If someone is really greedy, then this kind of person who can deceive his master for money can't stay in the prime minister's mansion.
"My daughter also means the same thing. After all, it's my grandmother's wish. If it's not good, I'll let it down. And such a thing can't be indulged!" There are no rules, and if things like this are left unchecked, there will be a lot of trouble in the future of.
"Leave this matter to you to handle yourself. When it's time to punish, you don't have to be merciful. You should know that with your mother's current situation, there can't be such a person in the Xiangfu!" It must be strictly punished, which can be regarded as killing chickens and monkeys, lest others follow suit!
"Dad, don't worry, I'll save it!"
……
Things developed as Su Lanzhi expected. Although Xi'er knew that Su Lanzhi had lost something, she didn't dare to hand it over.Who told her not to tell Su Lanzhi immediately, but to hide it?
Xi'er is a careful person, so naturally thinking about things will be more complicated. Now thinking of the place where she picked up that thing, Xi'er feels a little weird. Now that the incident happened, Xi'er never expected that it was Su Lanzhi who lost it. Yes, I had no choice but to hide it secretly, so as not to be discovered, and I would inevitably be scolded.
After a night of anxiety, Xi'er heard that Su Lanzhi was going to search the room to find the bracelet, she was immediately full of fear, and when there was no one in the afternoon, she sneaked out of the yard, trying to find a place to give the bracelet to her. Throw it away, let's destroy the corpse.
I heard that there is a well in the backyard, and no one goes there on weekdays. Xi'er thought of this, and went sneakily. When she came to the well, Xi'er was about to throw the bracelet down, but saw the patrol Seeing Xi'er sneaking around, he quickly caught Xi'er. Xi'er couldn't dodge, and the bracelet fell out. The boy also heard some wind, so he tied Xi'er directly. I went to see Su Lanzhi.
"Miss, the person who stole your bracelet has been caught!" It was originally lost, but now it has been stolen, and Xi'er suddenly couldn't explain why.
"Miss is wronged, miss, the servant just picked it up!" This stealing is a serious crime, Xi'er dare not admit it.
"Who are you lying to? If you find it, why don't you dare to return it to the lady? Didn't the lady say that whoever finds it and returns it will be rewarded? But what about you? You sneaked into the backyard and wanted to throw this bracelet into the Going into the well, isn't that a guilty conscience?" The young man also saw Xi'er sneaking around, so he followed, and sure enough, he saw that Xi'er was not normal, and now that he was arrested, he naturally wanted to make Xi'er If he pleaded guilty, he would be able to ask for a reward.
"No, miss, the servant didn't steal anything. This, this was picked up by the servant!" Not wanting to be beaten, Xi'er hurriedly confessed the truth, but looking at Su Lanzhi's calm face like water, Xi'er didn't Because of this, I just felt extremely flustered, "Miss, the servant did not lie, the servant really picked it up!"
"Oh, is that so? Tell me which maid in the yard you are first?" The first question was this, but Xi'er couldn't react. She looked at Su Lanzhi in a daze. Xi'er didn't know. Shouldn't it be telling the truth?
If the eldest lady knew that she was from Aunt Liu's house, would she have attacked herself because of this?
After thinking about it, Xi'er finally planned to confuse the public, so as not to make a wrong decision and bring herself a lot of disaster, "Miss, the servant is really wronged!" Tears came out all of a sudden, Xi'er The crying made Su Lanzhi feel very bored, "I asked where you are from, why are you crying?"
"Miss, slave..." Should she say it?Xi'er was hesitating, when a piece of Yuetao saw her, recognized Xi'er, and hurriedly said, "Miss, this servant reminds me, this maid is Xi'er, the maidservant next to Aunt Liu, she is very trusted by Aunt Liu!"
I deliberately emphasized the latter half of the sentence, which really makes people have to think more.
Since this person is trusted by Aunt Liu, but he stole Su Lanzhi's bracelet, it's really...
"It turned out to be from Aunt Liu's room, no wonder it looks familiar." Seeing Su Lanzhi like this, Xi'er seemed to have suddenly remembered, but she was not sure if Su Lanzhi really didn't recognize her, or She's playing with herself, but she doesn't have time to think about it now, "Miss, servant girl, servant girl really picked it up, not stolen it"
The Prime Minister's Mansion has strict rules. If she is really convicted of stealing, she will be beaten up thirty times and then sold. Her life will be ruined!
This incident was full of weirdness. Xi'er was just dazzled by joy before, but after hearing that Su Lanzhi had lost her bracelet, Xi'er realized that she was panicking. She always felt that there was an invisible net to catch her. Make her unable to move, she is just struggling now.
I thought Su Lanzhi wouldn't listen to her at all, but I didn't expect that Su Lanzhi would listen to her, "Then where did you pick it up?" Su Lanzhi smiled Yes, but it made Xi'er feel a little nervous.
"Slave, I picked it up on the road to Pingheyuan!" She lied on purpose, Xi'er naturally knew where she picked up the bracelet, Su Lanzhi never went there, so she deliberately said something else, thinking She was deceived and passed the test, but Su Lanzhi wanted to punish her deliberately, so how could she get through it easily?
"Really?" Looking at Xi'er with a grin, Su Lanzhi could only say that Xi'er was a bit smart.At this time, Yunzhu on the side saw her and hurriedly said, "Miss, no, the last time this servant saw you wearing a bracelet was outside the madam's yard, and you had already passed that road at that time. Maybe it fell there? And this girl looks familiar, didn't Miss Ri meet her at the door of the madam?"
"When you said that, I remembered that this girl was talking to a sweeping maid in my mother's yard?" Her expression didn't fluctuate much, and Xi'er was flustered when she saw it. It was like falling into a huge vortex, and my whole body was chilling.
"Miss, this servant really picked it up!" She just felt as if she had been transferred into a trap, Xi'er regretted it now, it was already too late.
"Your words don't match at all, so I naturally can't trust you." Not being moved by Xi'er's mournful face at all, Su Lanzhi looked at Yunzhu and finally decided, "But I can't make you feel that you are hurt." In order not to be wronged, I asked the person who guarded the yard to come over and ask to see if you have been there!"
After hearing this, Xi'er froze. Seeing that Su Lanzhi ordered the guard to come, Su Lanzhi asked, the man looked at her for a while, then shook his head. Xi'er only felt that she was The future is dark.
"You can see clearly. If I wronged her, it's not good to spread it. Are you sure she didn't go that day?" Su Lanzhi had expected the other party's confession a long time ago. She sent someone She checked it out, and Xi'er hadn't been there at all that day, so she didn't have to worry at all.
But this Xi'er was also in a hurry to go to the doctor, and now, maybe she was frightened?
"Responding to Missy's words, this servant can see clearly, I really didn't see her today!"
"Okay, you go down first!" Ordering people to leave, Su Lanzhi saw Xi'er's ashen face, and immediately smiled, "Xi'er? Now that there are all witnesses and evidence, I haven't wronged you , You said, should I send you to see the official? Or should I just send you off?" Always with a smile, but the smile never reaches the bottom of the eyes, people look at it and don't feel it at all. Friendly, but felt a little cold.
"Miss, miss, this servant is really wronged. I really picked up this bracelet!" Up to now, these two paths are not what Xi'er wants to go. Xi'er looks at Su Lanzhi with a mournful face, With snot and tears, it's so pitiful.
"You said you picked it up, but why didn't you return it and throw it away? And you said you saw it on the road in Pingheyuan, but the woman never saw you at all, you let me How can I trust you?" Xi'er's words were full of mistakes, and it was because Xi'er had a guilty conscience and sensed that something was wrong, so she concealed it, hoping to get away with it, and Su Lanzhi grasped the other party's thoughts Therefore, at this time, Xi'er couldn't find her origin at all.
"Miss, servant girl..." I suddenly felt that I was mistaken by my cleverness. I wanted to escape, but I was arrested. I wanted to make an excuse, but I never thought that someone would come out to prove that I had never been there. At this time, for the first time, Er realized what it means that the sky should not work.
"Miss, I think Xi'er has been wronged. At that time, Xi'er was with the sweeping maid in the madam's yard. Why don't you ask that person to come over and ask, maybe you can know the truth of the matter?" For those who are greedy for money, according to their investigation, that maid basically agreed to Xi'er's request that day, so that maid can't stay anymore.
Today, since we want to scare chickens and monkeys, we have to do it beautifully, so that at least some people can be deterred and everyone's small thoughts can be extinguished.
"That's what you said, it's good to ask her to ask!" They exchanged glances, and the maid was quickly brought here, and she knew something. The big girl looked at Xi'er kneeling there with tears all over her face. , I felt a little flustered, and hurriedly knelt down, "Miss, I don't know what to do with your servant?"
"I think everyone knows about the fact that I lost my bracelet. Someone saw Xi'er sneaking around just now, and followed them, only to find that Xi'er wanted to sink my bracelet into the vacant ancient well in the backyard. I went inside. The evidence is solid, this Xi'er stole my bracelet, but she refused to admit her mistake, I thought it must be convincing, so I called you here, I don't know how Xi'er ran away that day I'm looking for you? Tell me about it!" While speaking, those ancient well-like eyes glanced at Da Ya, and Da Ya felt her whole body tremble when she saw it, and she felt very terrified.
"Miss, that day Xi'er was just looking for some minor favors from the maidservant, nothing to do." She smiled awkwardly, the big girl really wanted to hide her nervousness, but she couldn't.
"But as far as I know, you don't have any friendship, so why did she ask you for help?" As soon as the words came out, the big girl panicked, and before she had time to say anything, Su Lanzhi continued to ask, "Also, what kind of help does she have that needs your help? So that she deliberately ran from Aunt Liu's place to Mother's place, so she can't find someone else?"
"Miss, servant girl, servant girl doesn't know either!" Da Ya is not as clever as Xi'er, now that Su Lanzhi said this, she was so flustered that she didn't know what to say.
She Suri is also a bit greedy for money, Xi'er gave a generous reward, and what she asked was not too much, wouldn't it be a good thing to get the money?
At that time, she also accepted it without thinking too much. Now that she wants to come, she regrets it so much!
In the panic, Da Ya didn't know how to deal with it, but suddenly a shadow ran out, isn't that the little girl who lives with Da Ya?
"Miss, this servant found this under Da Ya's bed!" Holding the money that Xi'er gave Da Ya in his hand, when Da Ya saw it, his eyes widened and his heart was full of panic.
"What is that?" Looking at the package clearly, although Su Lanzhi knew what it was, she just pretended not to know.
"Miss, at noon today, the servant saw Da Ya sneakily holding this thing and got up. At that time, the servant kept an eye on it and peeked at it secretly. It was five taels of silver! The servant didn't have much money before. Thinking about it, but now that the eldest lady is called by the eldest lady, the servant thinks of the five taels of silver, which is really suspicious!" The eldest maid is just a second-class maid who sweeps the floor, and the monthly payment is only half hanging. Two silver coins are a total of five hundred coins, how long will this big girl have to work to get so much?And it's a whole!
"Da Ya, how did you get this money?" Seeing Da Ya trembling all over, Su Lanzhi knew that this Da Ya would not be able to hold on anymore, "Da Ya, tell me, maybe I can forgive you." You die, but if you don't say it, you can't afford the crime of stealing!" A sweeping girl has five taels of silver, and it wasn't stolen, so how did she get it?
"Miss, miss, please forgive me, this is what Xi'er gave to your servant!" She was also afraid, so she quickly confessed to Xi'er. When Su Lanzhi saw it, she hurriedly asked, "Then why did she give you the silver?" ?”
"This, this..." He hesitated, although Da Ya admitted the matter, but thinking that she also had selfish intentions, she was still a little worried that she would be punished if she said it.
"Big girl, you'd better tell the truth, otherwise, you should know what will happen to you! Or do you prefer to eat sticks?" As soon as the words came out, the big girl was so scared that she almost peed, and hurriedly kowtowed. "Miss, miss, please forgive me, the slave said, the slave said everything!"
"How to say?" With a smile on her face, Su Lanzhi knew that there would be many dangers and troubles around her in the future, so she hoped that the people around her would be smart, so that they would not be used and harmed in the future harm.
"That Xi'er, when I went out, I didn't buy the rice paper in a hurry, but went to a teahouse first, stayed there for a long time, and then came out." As for what to do there, Qiushuang asked Yuetao and I went, but the teahouse was separated by a wall, and I didn't find anything when I went in. It's just that Qiushuang is cautious, and if she finds something wrong, she will naturally tell Su Lanzhi.
"Oh, really?" She raised her eyebrows, and Su Lanzhi knew that Aunt Liu hadn't been able to find any news recently, so she wanted to ask for help, but she didn't know if the person she was asking for could help her Woolen cloth?
"Miss, according to Yuetao, the person Xi'er is going to see is Nanny Ye..." When she said this, Qiushuang carefully observed Su Lanzhi's expression.
In fact, everyone knows that Aunt Liu was the maidservant next to Princess Qing, so it is no secret that Aunt Liu belongs to Princess Qing.
Due to Bai Xin's deliberate suppression these years, there is no contact between Aunt Liu and Princess Qing, but now that Bai Xin is dead, Aunt Liu wants to find a backer, and Princess Qing is the best chosen.
It's just that it's no secret that Old Princess Qing doesn't like Murong Yan and Su Lanzhi. Maybe there's something wrong with Aunt Liu asking people around her to contact Nanny Ye?
"Is it Nanny Ye?" Although it was a question, Su Lanzhi's tone was very calm, as if she had expected it a long time ago.
However, what she didn't expect was that Mother Ye would personally take action on this matter. It seems that Old Princess Qing is also in a hurry now, so she wants to restart Aunt Liu's eyeliner.
Sure enough, he is not afraid of making a fuss, and just now he can talk, and then he is restless again!
"Miss, do you want to restrict Aunt Liu and the people around her from going out in the future?" Su Lanzhi did not hide the matter of Murong Yan's pregnancy from the four first-class maids around her. For the sake of convenience, of course, the more important thing is to test.
"That's not necessary!" She was worried that she couldn't find an excuse to offend Aunt Liu, now that Aunt Liu had created an opportunity for her, of course she wanted to make good use of it.
"But Miss, will there be any trouble if you do it like this? After all, Madam..." Of course, Qiushuang knew the meaning of the child in Murong Yan's belly to the prime minister's mansion and to Su Lanzhi.
If Murong Yan gets a boy in one fell swoop, then they don't have to worry about Su Zhenhua, and Su Lanzhi can have a guarantee in the future.
"It's okay, I've already made arrangements for my mother, and nothing will happen." Su Qinglan has already sent many people to guard the Yanyun Pavilion, and some of them are hidden masters. As long as Murong Yan stays in Yanyun Court, I think there will be no problem.
"Then what is the lady going to do?" Seeing Su Lanzhi's confident face, Qiushuang naturally knew that Su Lanzhi had changed a lot these days, and at this moment she respected her master more and more. To Su Lanzhi, It can also be said to be obedient.
"This Aunt Liu has been too restless these days. If she stays, it will always be a disaster!" Aunt Liu will be eyelinering the old Princess Qing in one day, Su Lanzhi is really worried.
This person needs to be dealt with as soon as possible.
"What do you think the lady did?"
"Aunt Liu is very careful on weekdays, and she always lets Xi'er beside her do things. If she wants to do it herself, she has to deal with Xi'er first." Because she is careful, the people who can be trusted are also Very rarely, if you want to force the other party to come out, you have to get rid of Xi'er first!
"Miss, what do you mean?"
"Qiu Shuang, Yunzhu, I'll leave this matter to you guys, finish it as soon as possible, so as not to cause side effects." The sooner the unstable factors around me are resolved, the better. After waiting for a long time and preparing for a long time, it's time. Time to deal with it.
"Miss, don't worry!"
……
The group negotiated some details, and in the end, as if nothing happened, Su Lanzhi went to report to Su Qinglan that she had returned. Su Qinglan was very worried at first, but seeing that there was nothing on Su Lanzhi's face, she finally felt relieved .
"How about Ms. Xue's funeral?" Leaving at such an age is indeed embarrassing, with no children to die, no husband, and only a thin coffin.
"It's a little cold, and I was worried that some people would take the opportunity to make trouble, but I didn't see anyone from other prefectures going to mourn the funeral." This is what Su Lanzhi finds strange. After all, his status is there, and some people who have close contacts will go there.
If they don't go now, it only shows one possibility, that is, Duke Fu Guo and his family have explained it in advance.
This kind of cognition made the weirdness in Su Lanzhi's heart even more layered, especially when she thought of the cold light on her back before she left, Su Lanzhi felt very familiar.
"Miss Xue is also pitiful..." Su Qinglan didn't say anything about the rest, some things were too dark, Su Qinglan didn't want Su Lanzhi to get in touch with too much, "That's the end of this matter, don't think too much .”
"Well!" Xue Lingyun didn't make her sad, Su Lanzhi didn't care!
"Your mother is pregnant with a child now, and it's boring to think about it. When you are free, you can spend more time with her. She also has someone to talk to. If she wants something, I told you. If there is no one in the mansion, you can tell her." I, I will find a way." Obviously she is concerned, but sometimes, if she wants to meet face to face, the other party doesn't appreciate it, so Su Qinglan has no choice but to take such a roundabout way.
As long as the other party is good, and whether the other party knows or not, then why should we care too much?
"Daddy, I understand." Even if Su Qinglan didn't explain this matter, Su Lanzhi would do it.Now the child in Murong Yan's womb is not just a simple child, that child, the future of Guan Xiangfu, also places their expectations, and is the key to turning the timing around.Whether it's Murong Yan, Su Qinglan, or Su Lanzhi, the expectations for this child are very complicated.
"Then you go to your mother's place. It's time for lunch now. If you accompany her, she can eat more!"
"Okay!" Seeing that Su Qinglan didn't move, Su Lanzhi felt a little strange, "Isn't Daddy going with you?" In the past, Su Qinglan had always eaten with them, but today, it doesn't seem to mean that ?
"I still have some official documents here that I haven't read. I'll go later. You go to accompany her first!"
"The daughter is resigning!" She went out gently and closed the door. When Su Lanzhi arrived at Yanyun Pavilion, she saw Xi'er and a second-class maid in Yanyun Pavilion sneaking there from a distance. Su Lanzhi saw Now, as if he didn't care at all, he smiled, "What are you doing?"
The questioning tone suddenly appeared, which scared Xi'er and the second-class maid a little.
"Elder, Missy!" Frightened, the second-class maid hurriedly put her hands on her back, and Su Lan Zhiming saw something in the other's hand. It must have been a bribe from Xi'er, but Su Lanzhi didn't point it out. that is.
"Are you the maid in the mother's yard? I've seen you before!" Looking at the second-class maid, Su Lanzhi's tone was light and unspeakably friendly, but she didn't know if the maid had a guilty conscience. I feel like I'm sweating from the cold.
"Yes, yes, miss, the maidservant is responsible for cleaning the courtyard!" She hid her right hand tightly behind her, and the second-class maid was really worried, afraid that Su Lanzhi would see something.
Now the master is very concerned about his wife. Recently, he has photographed some maidservants one after another. Although she is only a second-class maid, she has also noticed that something is wrong.
"It seems to be, but you look familiar. Are you from the mother's yard?" She looked at Xi'er beside her with probing eyes. Although Su Lanzhi knew who the other party was, she pretended not to know, so Xi'er Hearing this, Er'er breathed a sigh of relief, "Miss and nobles forget things a lot, and it's common to not remember slaves and maidservants." She didn't say who she was, and she didn't deny that she wasn't from Murong Ya's compound. Xi'er was also a smart person, It's just that it's a little clever, and it doesn't seem to be used on the right path.
"What are you two doing here? Why have you left your work behind?" The maids in every courtyard have their own responsibilities. When they should do something, they must do it. It is absolutely impossible. Lazy, otherwise it is possible to be punished, or sold directly.
"Eldest, eldest miss, this maidservant has finished her work, but she is a little busy, I just want to ask her for help!" The second-class maid did not dare to report Xi'er's name, but was vague, for fear of being punished.
"Well, it's good not to delay things, and don't be secretive and silent before, making people look ugly!"
"Yes, miss!" Startled, the two maids were extremely nervous, for fear that Su Lanzhi would find an excuse to punish them, their faces were full of sincerity and fear.
"Okay, go and do it yourself!" Su Lanzhi just gave Yunzhu a look, and Yunzhu understood. After Xi'er left, walking on the road, she suddenly saw an emerald bracelet , the jade is very crisp and tender, there seems to be floating light flowing inside, as if alive, and the workmanship is very good, when Xi'er saw it, a touch of ecstasy crossed her face, she looked around, but she didn't see anyone, He hurriedly put the bracelet away, feeling elated at the windfall, and happily went back to his life.
When she came to Aunt Liu's courtyard, seeing Aunt Liu's anxious look, Xi'er touched the bracelet in her bosom, although she was happy in her heart, she looked annoyed.
"How is it? But what did you ask?" Aunt Liu sent a message back, that she must know about Murong Yan's physical condition as soon as possible, so Aunt Liu sent Xi'er to inquire.
This time, Aunt Liu was smart enough to ask Xi'er to prepare a lot of belongings, and she only selected the second-class maids in Murong Yan's yard, so as not to attract too much attention.
At first, I thought it would be possible to investigate one or two, and it would be worse to go back, but seeing Xi'er's gloomy face, Aunt Liu had a bad premonition, "Is something wrong?"
"Auntie, this servant was looking for that big girl today and gave her some silver. She was going to talk about it, but the eldest lady came suddenly, and this servant didn't have time to say anything." Thinking about the silver that was sent out Xi'er also felt that it was a pity, it would be great if it belonged to her, hey!
"Didn't the eldest miss go to the master's place? How did you meet?" Aunt Liu asked Xi'er to go quickly when Su Lanzhi went to Su Qinglan's place, but she didn't expect that Su Lanzhi was at Su Qinglan's place Just stay for a short time.
"I don't know, I didn't know. I took advantage of the lack of people and secretly went to find the big lady. I didn't expect that the eldest lady appeared suddenly before I said a few words. The servant was scared to death!" Thinking The scene at that time, I don't know if it was because they were too engrossed in the chat, or Su Lanzhi's footsteps were too light, and she suddenly appeared behind them, which made her still have lingering fears!
"What did the eldest lady find? Did she ask you?" I was really worried that Su Lanzhi would suspect her. Wouldn't it be even more troublesome for her to do things by then?
"Don't worry, Auntie, the young lady didn't recognize the servant girl!" Xi'er was not worried about this, and since Su Lanzhi didn't recognize her, she wasn't too worried.
"Didn't recognize you?" Aunt Liu couldn't believe it. Xi'er was her confidant, so she always brought Xi'er with her on weekdays. Su Lanzhi also met Xi'er. But I didn't recognize it. Is there something wrong with this?
"Yeah, the servant was also worried at the beginning, but the young lady felt that the servant looked familiar, but she didn't remember who it was, so the servant responded vaguely and perfunctory." Thinking of the scene just now, Xi'er suddenly felt I am extraordinarily clever.
Fortunately, she knows how to pretend, otherwise, it will be troublesome when the time comes.
"Really?" Aunt Liu was a little puzzled and perplexed. She always felt that Su Lanzhi was not such a forgetful person, but Xi'er didn't need to lie to her. Aunt Liu couldn't tell what happened, but she just felt very uneasy, " Did the eldest lady say anything else? When you came back, did something unusual happen?" Always ask, so that you can feel at ease!
After hearing Aunt Liu's question, Xi'er felt a little scared, but thinking of the unexpected money she got, how could Xi'er be willing to hand it over?
"Auntie is worrying too much, it's normal when the slaves come back!"
"Really?" Why did she feel so uneasy?Looking at Xi'er, Aunt Liu felt uneasy, she just didn't want to show it in front of the other party, "Don't go out these few days, just stay in the yard for a while, and I'll let you inquire after a while! "Although she obeyed Princess Yulaoqing, she didn't want to die because of it. Now, it's better to be careful, after all, no one in this mansion is vegetarian!
"Then aunt, what should I do with the matter that the old concubine told me?" The old concubine Qing asked them to inquire about the situation as soon as possible. Now that she can't go out, who will complete this matter?
"Right now, the Yanyun Pavilion is surrounded by water, so we don't want to do too much, so as not to be suspected, we should just wait and see what happens!" If people doubt it, then the loss outweighs the gain.
"But the old concubine..."
"You don't need to worry about this matter, you just listen to me and go down!"
"Yes!" Just now, Xi'er hastily picked up the thing, and Xi'er knew that it was valuable, so she didn't look at it carefully just now, so it's good to take a look at it now.
++++++++++++++++++++++ dividing line
"Mom, eat more. Today the cook cooks your favorite dishes. You have to show your face!" The three of Su Lanzhi's family ate happily, and Murong Yan's face was also rare. Not many, but occasionally I would add some of Murong Yan's favorite dishes, and the dinner was enjoyable.
"Yan'er, Lan'er is right, you should eat more, your body will be better this way!" Smiling, Su Qinglan was already very satisfied with the current situation, he didn't dare to ask Murong Yan to forgive him immediately, as long as If the other party is willing to look at him, talk to him well, and no longer reject him, he is already very satisfied.
"Don't bother to bring me food. I'll do it myself. I am not without arms and legs. I can eat by myself." Looking at the hills piled up in her bowl, Murong Yan felt a little helpless Although she felt cared for in her heart, Murong Yan was still not used to it.
"You are now the object of special care, you just need to take care of yourself." After finishing speaking, she wanted to bring food to Murong Yan, but Murong Yan quickly stopped her, "Master, I can come by myself, the food in this bowl There are really too many things, no matter how much there is, the concubine will not be able to eat it."
Seeing Murong Yan say that, Su Qinglan seemed to have noticed the bowl in front of Murong Yan, she couldn't help but smiled awkwardly, and put the dish back into her own bowl, "Then eat slowly, eat slowly !" Hey, I'm only focusing on picking up vegetables, so I have to think about it, can Yan'er eat it?
"Yan'er, do these dishes suit your taste? Is there anything you really want to eat? I can ask the kitchen to make it quickly." Su Qinglan was afraid that Murong Yan wouldn't be able to eat well and would lose weight. Su Qinglan was almost dying of nervousness right now.
"It's enough, it's all good, master, don't be too nervous." She didn't want to be treated as if she was a Liuli person, which would make her feel that she seemed useless and fragile.
"Hehe, yes, I'm too nervous." It's a great blessing to have a child in the middle age, and it makes Su Qinglan feel a little ecstatic until now, which is really incredible.
"Master, you can eat too." After eating quietly, Murong Yan got used to being quiet. After they finished their meal, they chatted about some homework. Murong Yan looked sleepy, and Su Lanzhi and Su Qinglan left wisely. .
Walking on the road, Su Lanzhi gave Yunzhu a wink, and Yunzhu understood, "Miss, the old lady sent some gifts over just now, is the lady going to take a look later?" Mrs. Jingbeihou also He loved Murong Yan and Su Lanzhi dearly. The two of them had just been back for two days, and they couldn't wait to send gifts over there.
"Grandmother is really expensive. I always send these things here. I am really embarrassed." Thinking of Mrs. Jingbeihou's kindness, Su Lanzhi felt a little warmth in her heart, and the smile on her face, It is also bright like the warm spring.
"Isn't it? The old lady always said that the lady and the lady dress too plainly on weekdays. Every time the lady and the lady go, the old lady always gives the lady and the lady some jewelry in a different way. When the lady and the lady come , the old lady also gave each a bracelet, the servants looked at it, the color of the bracelets is very good, and it matches the emerald green dress of the lady today!" Good jadeite is very natural and plump, of course it is a good thing.
"No, I just looked good this morning, so Yuetao let me wear it." After finishing speaking, Su Lanzhi raised her hand subconsciously, but it turned out that her hand was bulging, which made her a little surprised, "Could it be I remembered wrongly, didn't I wear it today?"
"Miss is not mistaken, this maidservant remembered seeing it just now." The tone was very certain, and Yunzhu looked at Su Lanzhi's bare wrist, also worried.
It's really a pity to lose such a precious bracelet.
"Then where did you go?" After thinking about it, Su Lanzhi didn't even think about where she went, and she was also a little anxious.
"Did it fall?"
"That's my grandmother's wish, so what if I lose it?"
"Miss, don't worry, this servant will let someone look for it!"
"Okay, let the person who is looking for it send it back if it finds it, and I will reward her heavily!"
"Miss, don't worry, this servant remembers that the lady still wore it on the way to the madam's yard, presumably she lost it on the way, this servant will let someone find it!"
"Well, you go!" Watching Yunzhu go away worriedly, Su Lanzhi frowned tightly, and seemed very annoyed, "Why was I so careless to take the things my grandmother gave me? Did it fall off? Grandma knows, so she should be worried."
"Lan'er doesn't need to think too much. Since Yunzhu said you dropped it on the road, it's easy to find if you think about it. Maybe the servants will return it if they pick it up."
"I hope, but my daughter is still a little worried that some people will take advantage of it." This was a wake-up call for Su Qinglan. Su Qinglan frowned after hearing this, "The servants of the Xiangfu have always been strict, and you must not be greedy for petty things." Cheap!" Once people like to be greedy for cheap things, it is easy for people to take advantage of their loopholes, not to mention the past, even now Murong Yan's body, Su Qinglan dare not be careless.
So this kind of thing must be resolutely put an end to it!
"I hope that the person who picked it up can return it? That bracelet is extremely precious, and it must be loved by my grandmother. If my grandmother asks one day, I will not be able to explain it."
"Well, look for it first, if you can't find it, let someone search it!" If someone is really greedy, then this kind of person who can deceive his master for money can't stay in the prime minister's mansion.
"My daughter also means the same thing. After all, it's my grandmother's wish. If it's not good, I'll let it down. And such a thing can't be indulged!" There are no rules, and if things like this are left unchecked, there will be a lot of trouble in the future of.
"Leave this matter to you to handle yourself. When it's time to punish, you don't have to be merciful. You should know that with your mother's current situation, there can't be such a person in the Xiangfu!" It must be strictly punished, which can be regarded as killing chickens and monkeys, lest others follow suit!
"Dad, don't worry, I'll save it!"
……
Things developed as Su Lanzhi expected. Although Xi'er knew that Su Lanzhi had lost something, she didn't dare to hand it over.Who told her not to tell Su Lanzhi immediately, but to hide it?
Xi'er is a careful person, so naturally thinking about things will be more complicated. Now thinking of the place where she picked up that thing, Xi'er feels a little weird. Now that the incident happened, Xi'er never expected that it was Su Lanzhi who lost it. Yes, I had no choice but to hide it secretly, so as not to be discovered, and I would inevitably be scolded.
After a night of anxiety, Xi'er heard that Su Lanzhi was going to search the room to find the bracelet, she was immediately full of fear, and when there was no one in the afternoon, she sneaked out of the yard, trying to find a place to give the bracelet to her. Throw it away, let's destroy the corpse.
I heard that there is a well in the backyard, and no one goes there on weekdays. Xi'er thought of this, and went sneakily. When she came to the well, Xi'er was about to throw the bracelet down, but saw the patrol Seeing Xi'er sneaking around, he quickly caught Xi'er. Xi'er couldn't dodge, and the bracelet fell out. The boy also heard some wind, so he tied Xi'er directly. I went to see Su Lanzhi.
"Miss, the person who stole your bracelet has been caught!" It was originally lost, but now it has been stolen, and Xi'er suddenly couldn't explain why.
"Miss is wronged, miss, the servant just picked it up!" This stealing is a serious crime, Xi'er dare not admit it.
"Who are you lying to? If you find it, why don't you dare to return it to the lady? Didn't the lady say that whoever finds it and returns it will be rewarded? But what about you? You sneaked into the backyard and wanted to throw this bracelet into the Going into the well, isn't that a guilty conscience?" The young man also saw Xi'er sneaking around, so he followed, and sure enough, he saw that Xi'er was not normal, and now that he was arrested, he naturally wanted to make Xi'er If he pleaded guilty, he would be able to ask for a reward.
"No, miss, the servant didn't steal anything. This, this was picked up by the servant!" Not wanting to be beaten, Xi'er hurriedly confessed the truth, but looking at Su Lanzhi's calm face like water, Xi'er didn't Because of this, I just felt extremely flustered, "Miss, the servant did not lie, the servant really picked it up!"
"Oh, is that so? Tell me which maid in the yard you are first?" The first question was this, but Xi'er couldn't react. She looked at Su Lanzhi in a daze. Xi'er didn't know. Shouldn't it be telling the truth?
If the eldest lady knew that she was from Aunt Liu's house, would she have attacked herself because of this?
After thinking about it, Xi'er finally planned to confuse the public, so as not to make a wrong decision and bring herself a lot of disaster, "Miss, the servant is really wronged!" Tears came out all of a sudden, Xi'er The crying made Su Lanzhi feel very bored, "I asked where you are from, why are you crying?"
"Miss, slave..." Should she say it?Xi'er was hesitating, when a piece of Yuetao saw her, recognized Xi'er, and hurriedly said, "Miss, this servant reminds me, this maid is Xi'er, the maidservant next to Aunt Liu, she is very trusted by Aunt Liu!"
I deliberately emphasized the latter half of the sentence, which really makes people have to think more.
Since this person is trusted by Aunt Liu, but he stole Su Lanzhi's bracelet, it's really...
"It turned out to be from Aunt Liu's room, no wonder it looks familiar." Seeing Su Lanzhi like this, Xi'er seemed to have suddenly remembered, but she was not sure if Su Lanzhi really didn't recognize her, or She's playing with herself, but she doesn't have time to think about it now, "Miss, servant girl, servant girl really picked it up, not stolen it"
The Prime Minister's Mansion has strict rules. If she is really convicted of stealing, she will be beaten up thirty times and then sold. Her life will be ruined!
This incident was full of weirdness. Xi'er was just dazzled by joy before, but after hearing that Su Lanzhi had lost her bracelet, Xi'er realized that she was panicking. She always felt that there was an invisible net to catch her. Make her unable to move, she is just struggling now.
I thought Su Lanzhi wouldn't listen to her at all, but I didn't expect that Su Lanzhi would listen to her, "Then where did you pick it up?" Su Lanzhi smiled Yes, but it made Xi'er feel a little nervous.
"Slave, I picked it up on the road to Pingheyuan!" She lied on purpose, Xi'er naturally knew where she picked up the bracelet, Su Lanzhi never went there, so she deliberately said something else, thinking She was deceived and passed the test, but Su Lanzhi wanted to punish her deliberately, so how could she get through it easily?
"Really?" Looking at Xi'er with a grin, Su Lanzhi could only say that Xi'er was a bit smart.At this time, Yunzhu on the side saw her and hurriedly said, "Miss, no, the last time this servant saw you wearing a bracelet was outside the madam's yard, and you had already passed that road at that time. Maybe it fell there? And this girl looks familiar, didn't Miss Ri meet her at the door of the madam?"
"When you said that, I remembered that this girl was talking to a sweeping maid in my mother's yard?" Her expression didn't fluctuate much, and Xi'er was flustered when she saw it. It was like falling into a huge vortex, and my whole body was chilling.
"Miss, this servant really picked it up!" She just felt as if she had been transferred into a trap, Xi'er regretted it now, it was already too late.
"Your words don't match at all, so I naturally can't trust you." Not being moved by Xi'er's mournful face at all, Su Lanzhi looked at Yunzhu and finally decided, "But I can't make you feel that you are hurt." In order not to be wronged, I asked the person who guarded the yard to come over and ask to see if you have been there!"
After hearing this, Xi'er froze. Seeing that Su Lanzhi ordered the guard to come, Su Lanzhi asked, the man looked at her for a while, then shook his head. Xi'er only felt that she was The future is dark.
"You can see clearly. If I wronged her, it's not good to spread it. Are you sure she didn't go that day?" Su Lanzhi had expected the other party's confession a long time ago. She sent someone She checked it out, and Xi'er hadn't been there at all that day, so she didn't have to worry at all.
But this Xi'er was also in a hurry to go to the doctor, and now, maybe she was frightened?
"Responding to Missy's words, this servant can see clearly, I really didn't see her today!"
"Okay, you go down first!" Ordering people to leave, Su Lanzhi saw Xi'er's ashen face, and immediately smiled, "Xi'er? Now that there are all witnesses and evidence, I haven't wronged you , You said, should I send you to see the official? Or should I just send you off?" Always with a smile, but the smile never reaches the bottom of the eyes, people look at it and don't feel it at all. Friendly, but felt a little cold.
"Miss, miss, this servant is really wronged. I really picked up this bracelet!" Up to now, these two paths are not what Xi'er wants to go. Xi'er looks at Su Lanzhi with a mournful face, With snot and tears, it's so pitiful.
"You said you picked it up, but why didn't you return it and throw it away? And you said you saw it on the road in Pingheyuan, but the woman never saw you at all, you let me How can I trust you?" Xi'er's words were full of mistakes, and it was because Xi'er had a guilty conscience and sensed that something was wrong, so she concealed it, hoping to get away with it, and Su Lanzhi grasped the other party's thoughts Therefore, at this time, Xi'er couldn't find her origin at all.
"Miss, servant girl..." I suddenly felt that I was mistaken by my cleverness. I wanted to escape, but I was arrested. I wanted to make an excuse, but I never thought that someone would come out to prove that I had never been there. At this time, for the first time, Er realized what it means that the sky should not work.
"Miss, I think Xi'er has been wronged. At that time, Xi'er was with the sweeping maid in the madam's yard. Why don't you ask that person to come over and ask, maybe you can know the truth of the matter?" For those who are greedy for money, according to their investigation, that maid basically agreed to Xi'er's request that day, so that maid can't stay anymore.
Today, since we want to scare chickens and monkeys, we have to do it beautifully, so that at least some people can be deterred and everyone's small thoughts can be extinguished.
"That's what you said, it's good to ask her to ask!" They exchanged glances, and the maid was quickly brought here, and she knew something. The big girl looked at Xi'er kneeling there with tears all over her face. , I felt a little flustered, and hurriedly knelt down, "Miss, I don't know what to do with your servant?"
"I think everyone knows about the fact that I lost my bracelet. Someone saw Xi'er sneaking around just now, and followed them, only to find that Xi'er wanted to sink my bracelet into the vacant ancient well in the backyard. I went inside. The evidence is solid, this Xi'er stole my bracelet, but she refused to admit her mistake, I thought it must be convincing, so I called you here, I don't know how Xi'er ran away that day I'm looking for you? Tell me about it!" While speaking, those ancient well-like eyes glanced at Da Ya, and Da Ya felt her whole body tremble when she saw it, and she felt very terrified.
"Miss, that day Xi'er was just looking for some minor favors from the maidservant, nothing to do." She smiled awkwardly, the big girl really wanted to hide her nervousness, but she couldn't.
"But as far as I know, you don't have any friendship, so why did she ask you for help?" As soon as the words came out, the big girl panicked, and before she had time to say anything, Su Lanzhi continued to ask, "Also, what kind of help does she have that needs your help? So that she deliberately ran from Aunt Liu's place to Mother's place, so she can't find someone else?"
"Miss, servant girl, servant girl doesn't know either!" Da Ya is not as clever as Xi'er, now that Su Lanzhi said this, she was so flustered that she didn't know what to say.
She Suri is also a bit greedy for money, Xi'er gave a generous reward, and what she asked was not too much, wouldn't it be a good thing to get the money?
At that time, she also accepted it without thinking too much. Now that she wants to come, she regrets it so much!
In the panic, Da Ya didn't know how to deal with it, but suddenly a shadow ran out, isn't that the little girl who lives with Da Ya?
"Miss, this servant found this under Da Ya's bed!" Holding the money that Xi'er gave Da Ya in his hand, when Da Ya saw it, his eyes widened and his heart was full of panic.
"What is that?" Looking at the package clearly, although Su Lanzhi knew what it was, she just pretended not to know.
"Miss, at noon today, the servant saw Da Ya sneakily holding this thing and got up. At that time, the servant kept an eye on it and peeked at it secretly. It was five taels of silver! The servant didn't have much money before. Thinking about it, but now that the eldest lady is called by the eldest lady, the servant thinks of the five taels of silver, which is really suspicious!" The eldest maid is just a second-class maid who sweeps the floor, and the monthly payment is only half hanging. Two silver coins are a total of five hundred coins, how long will this big girl have to work to get so much?And it's a whole!
"Da Ya, how did you get this money?" Seeing Da Ya trembling all over, Su Lanzhi knew that this Da Ya would not be able to hold on anymore, "Da Ya, tell me, maybe I can forgive you." You die, but if you don't say it, you can't afford the crime of stealing!" A sweeping girl has five taels of silver, and it wasn't stolen, so how did she get it?
"Miss, miss, please forgive me, this is what Xi'er gave to your servant!" She was also afraid, so she quickly confessed to Xi'er. When Su Lanzhi saw it, she hurriedly asked, "Then why did she give you the silver?" ?”
"This, this..." He hesitated, although Da Ya admitted the matter, but thinking that she also had selfish intentions, she was still a little worried that she would be punished if she said it.
"Big girl, you'd better tell the truth, otherwise, you should know what will happen to you! Or do you prefer to eat sticks?" As soon as the words came out, the big girl was so scared that she almost peed, and hurriedly kowtowed. "Miss, miss, please forgive me, the slave said, the slave said everything!"
