The only favorite Qing Palace: Concubine Xi An

Chapter 46
Fourth Master returned to the front yard and saw Su Peisheng waiting there.

There are already some clues about what happened in the afternoon.

Su Peisheng helped fourth master do many important things.The things in the backyard can't trouble him.

"Fourth Master." Su Peisheng followed Fourth Master into the house, closed the door again, and called softly.

About halfway through the afternoon's investigation, Su Peisheng stopped.What to do next, Su Peisheng thought about reporting to Fourth Master first, and then making a decision.

"What did you find?" Fourth Master asked.There was a sternness in the voice.

Fourth master felt that this matter must be dealt with seriously.

In Yonghe Mansion, such dirty things cannot be tolerated.Especially, it hurt Lan Xin and their children this time.

"The pearl necklace, as Fujin said, was indeed rewarded by the palace. During the Chinese New Year three years ago, two were rewarded. Fujin saw it well, so he gave one to Song Gege." Su Peisheng said.

As for the remaining one, it was naturally kept by Fujin.

Su Peisheng also went to Fujin to check, and the other one was locked in the warehouse.

"Why did the chain break, did you find out?" Fourth Master continued to ask.This is the crux of the problem.

"This...according to Song Gege's maid, maybe a few strands of the rope were cut by the hairpin." Su Peisheng said, hesitantly.

Song Gege's pearl chain and hairpin are placed in a box.

And the rope wearing the pearl necklace was originally ten strands.But the string Song Gege wore only had three strands.

The rope cannot bear the weight of the chain, so naturally it will break after a long time.

As for the words spoken by Song Gege's maidservant, whether they are true or not is something to be considered.

"What about the other clues?" Fourth Master thought for a while and continued to ask.

It is really difficult to find out the truth of the matter just by relying on the words of a maidservant.

"No more." Su Peisheng said, lowering his head.

If it's really just like this, if it's a coincidence, then it's okay.But if there is an envoy behind the scenes, this matter is really done in a watertight manner.

"Got it." Fourth Master said, clenched his hand into a fist.He said again: "Order to go down and charge the servant girl thirty sticks. Let me check all the jewelry chains up and down in the mansion! If something like this happens again, I will definitely be punished severely!"

Su Peisheng agreed and withdrew.

When things got to this point, they had to stop.If the trouble continues, no one will be able to please anyone.

On the other hand, Song Gege has locked the maid who is in charge of jewelry into the back room.

When Su Peisheng went to Wenyu Pavilion, Song Gege greeted him tremblingly.

"Grandpa Su is here? But does fourth master have any orders?" Song Gege walked to the door and hurriedly pulled Su Peisheng into the room.Then, he stuffed a big purse for him.

Su Peisheng accepted the purse, and told Song Gege what Si Ye meant.

After hearing this, Song Gege breathed a sigh of relief.She felt that fourth master must believe her.

Otherwise, it wouldn't be just a servant girl.

But when everyone went to the back room where the maids were locked, they saw that it was quiet inside, as if someone was inside.

Su Peisheng didn't bother to knock on the door, so he let the eunuch Dali kick the door open.

Under the dim light, everyone saw a person hanging on the beam.That person is Song Gege's handmaid who locked up and was in charge of jewelry!
"Song Gege, what's going on?" Su Peisheng turned his head and looked at Song Gege with interest.

Could it be that he was afraid that the fourth master would take the maid away for interrogation and say something that shouldn't be said, so he silenced her in advance?
"Grandpa Su! I just locked her up! She was fine before!" Song Gege was also taken aback, and quickly explained.

If something goes wrong with this person, she is afraid that she will also bear some responsibility.

"This matter is for the fourth master to decide." Su Peisheng said, and asked the eunuch Dali to carry away the maid's body.

Song Gege didn't fall to the ground until the visitors disappeared from sight.

Today, so many things happened unexpectedly, she really found it difficult to cope.

In Cuiyu Pavilion, Lan Xin has been asleep, and she doesn't know that there is such a big commotion in the mansion.

Until the next morning, Mrs. Yun came to the Cuiyu Pavilion and said yes, she wanted to pay Lan Xin a peace of mind.

Originally, Xiao Hezi stopped Yun's from the door, but Yun's face seemed to be sincere, and he said that it was only natural for her to save her master, and she should not accept a gift of thanks, so she came to return the gift.

Xiaohezi was thin-skinned, and Yun's had worn him down, so he agreed to come in and make a report.

At this moment, Lan Xin had just finished her meal and was about to go to the yard to bask in the morning sun.

"Gege! Miss Yun, who lives in the Xinyu Pavilion next door, is here, and she said it was a return gift." Xiaohezi walked up to Lan Xin bravely and said.

"Oh. Please come in." Lan Xin glanced at the door and said lightly.

Lan Xin also has some understanding of Yun's temperament.

She is a person who does not give up until she achieves her goals.Even if she turned her away, she would find another way to come here.

When Yun walked in, he had a smile on his face.The air of wind and dust in his bones before was a little less.

"Miss Yun is here, what's the matter?" Lan Xin picked up the teacup on the table and took a sip.

"Gege doesn't want to see my concubine?" Yun Shi said, and then restrained the smile on his face.

Yun Shi originally thought that Lan Xin was the most easy-going person in Yonghe Mansion.Now it seems that she is somewhat on guard against herself.

"If it's something like back and forth, you don't need to talk about it." Lan Xin said in a calm manner.

She is kind to people because she wants to get along well with people.But now it seems that if she doesn't show her sincerity, she will be rewarded accordingly.

"Ge Ge Ming Jian. The concubine also thinks that Ge Ge is a good person, so she will help. As for this incident, it should be a coincidence." Yun stood up and said with some grief.

Yun felt that the Niu Hulu in front of him was not as simple as it seemed.

Originally, the Yun family thought that they could take advantage of this incident to get closer to the Niu Hulu family.

Now it seems that it is a bit difficult.

"Whether it's a coincidence or not, Fourth Master will naturally have a conclusion. Since Miss Yun saved me, it's only natural for her to accept my gift." Lan Xin smiled and pulled Yun to sit down.

"Yes." Yunshi agreed, with a look of panic on his face.

For the next quarter of an hour, Lan Xin didn't bother to argue with Yun Shi.After saying a few words, he sent her away.

Although Yun Shi felt a little reconciled, she had no other choice but to leave Cuiyu Pavilion.

After Yun Shi left, Lan Xin leaned on the imperial concubine's couch, dozing off a little.

The twists and turns in the backyard are always so tiring.
