But why does the lord insist on marrying

Chapter 172

Steward Xia led everyone back to Prime Minister Xia.

The eldest lady said: "Everyone knows about the theft of the prime minister's mansion. In order to eliminate the suspicion of our family members, we are also starting to search now. Since it was my wife's suggestion, we will start the search from my wife's yard."

The second madam laughed and said: "The eldest madam was joking, how can I search for you, you are the head of the house, it is impossible for anyone to steal it from you, so let's search from the concubine's room."

What the second lady said is very useful to the eldest lady, but I still have to do a search, in case someone will not be convinced: "Although I said this, but for the sake of fairness, let's start from my room. Come on."

The matter is so big, Zi'er has already heard the news and told Xia Ziyan, she smiled and said: "Search, search, this is a good thing." Why does Zi'er feel that the lady's smile is so...so bad?Shivering, he turned around and packed his things.

Who would dare to search the room of the eldest lady, she turned it around a little by herself, and showed it to the second and third wives, but the two wives said they didn't find it.

Then the yards of the second and third wives were all normal, and nothing unusual was found in their maids and servants' rooms. At most, a few small objects were found, which were also rewards from the wives on weekdays.

Xia Zimeng and Xia Ziyan are both very close to the third lady's courtyard, so everyone went to Mengyuan first.Xia Zimeng had heard the news a long time ago, so she didn't go to sleep, but ordered all her rooms and servants' rooms to be lit, and put out all the boxes and cages.

Seeing a group of people coming in, he sneered: "Search, it's best to find a box of gold, and then the young lady's dowry will be available. It really is like the poem written by the second sister in the palace, 'A daughter is a thief' .”

The second lady hastily covered her mouth, and whispered in Xia Zimeng's ear, "Say less."

Although Xia Zimeng satirized for a long time, everyone didn't understand when the second lady wrote this poem. Can this be called a poem?What the peasant says has more meaning than that.

Xia Zimeng's words made everyone feel disgusted, so instead of ending hastily, they searched more carefully.But since Xia Zimeng dared to challenge her so openly, naturally everyone returned in vain.

Before leaving, Xia Zimeng stepped on the threshold of the courtyard gate and said to the figures of the crowd: "Are you sure you have finished searching, I have to clean up. I won't let you come again!"

Everyone pretended not to hear it, only the second lady was in a cold sweat.Zimeng is still too innocent, so she has to teach her well later, otherwise she will suffer a lot if she goes to Hengwang's mansion.

When I came to Yanyuan, the small courtyard was quiet, there were no lights in the courtyard, only a small oil lamp was lit in the living room.Everyone suddenly entered this small, dark room from Xia Zimeng's brightly lit place, their eyes really didn't adapt, they just felt tired.

Xia Ziyan stood up politely with the three servant girls, put down the work in her hands, and seemed to be making clothes in the dark.

He Xiang, the third lady's maid, tripped over something, and leaned forward, even bringing Chun Yu in front of her down.

There was a plop, and everyone turned around looking for the sound, but it was two maids who fell down.The eldest lady frowned and said displeasedly: "Second girl, take a look at what your room looks like, and turn on more lights. It's dark, it's really embarrassing to the Xiangfu."

The second lady agreed: "Yes, Yan'er, you can't do much with the little lamp oil money." When she said this, everyone laughed. I can't bear to point it out, haha, I can't even compare to a servant, it's nothing.

Although the room was dark, everyone could see each other's expressions and aura clearly.

Xia Ziyan waited for everyone to laugh enough before she bent her knees: "Go back to mother, it's not that Ziyan is reluctant to light the lamp."
