The daughter-in-law of the cold father and the hot concubine

Chapter 22 The kitchen was stolen (2)
The character of the virtuous king is not important, but she believes that with his status, it is impossible to take a liking to her little fortune. She has lived in his residence, and some decorations in his study are worth more than that little money.She just felt that the man was controlling her a bit too much. In fact, they were not familiar with each other, at most they had a marriage contract.

She didn't need to investigate too much about being framed on the street. Who else could know exactly how much money she had besides people from the Chu Mansion?King Xian and An Dinghou stopped her from pursuing it, but it was also for her safety.Afterwards, she also figured it out. She really shouldn't be so high-profile, and it's useless to pursue it. If someone can design to frame her, she must be fully prepared. If she pursues it, she may jump into a hole dug by others in.

Damn Han Jiao!Hateful Chu family!Are they really willing to drive her to a dead end?
Back in the Chu Mansion, her yard has been properly arranged, and the brand new furniture and decorations make this small courtyard look brand new.Walking around the yard, looking at the newly purchased things one by one, Chu Yuliang is quite satisfied. Although the newly purchased things are not expensive, they are still passable.Han Jiao's work efficiency is not low. Not only did she prepare new furniture and clothes for her, she even changed all the maids and servants in her yard.

Seeing her come back, the servant girl quickly made tea for her, with a very respectful attitude, "Miss, please have some tea."

"What's your name?" Chu Yuliang looked her up and down, wearing the uniform of the Chu family's servants, her melon-seeded face was delicate and childish.

"Back to Miss, the maidservant's name is Xiaoqin." The maidservant replied obediently.

"How old are you?"

"Back to Miss, the servant has just turned fifteen."

"Hmm." Chu Yuliang nodded. In fact, she only had a deep impression of a few servants of the Chu Mansion. They were all maids from various courtyards. She hadn't seen many other people. "You come to the Chu Mansion to do business. How long?"

"Back to Miss, this servant only entered the Chu Mansion a month ago."

"Yeah." Xiaoqin was always respectful, but Chu Yuliang was a little lukewarm.She is not the kind of person who is familiar with herself, not to mention that the other party is chosen by Han Jiao. Based on this alone, she cannot be too enthusiastic about this maid named Xiaoqin.

In the evening, Xiaoqin delivered the meals to her room and served her meals.

"What do you have for dinner?" Chu Yuliang asked casually after looking at the dishes on the table.

Hearing this, Xiaoqin opened the food covers one by one.

"That's all?" Chu Yuliang raised her eyebrows, sarcastically.In Prince Xian's Mansion, the things she made by cutting corners are better than this table!The majestic young miss of the Chu family, just eat some vegetables and radishes, this life...

Is it because she has fat head and big ears so I want to shave her oil?

Xiaoqin lowered her head, and explained in a low voice, "Miss, Madam said that diligence and thrift should be regarded as virtues, and extravagance and waste should not be allowed. From now on, the ingredients used in the mansion will be reduced as much as possible, and the saved expenses will be donated to the poor people when the opportunity arises. "

"..." Chu Yuliang twitched the corners of her mouth when she heard this. Is this the reason why she is not allowed to eat meat?

She really admires Han Jiao's heart, she can even say such hypocrisy, what kind of thrift and charitable donations are really going on, if she has the guts, don't wear gold belts and jade!

Thinking that the original body has never seen the world, so it is taken for granted that the ingredients are taken for granted?At any rate, she also lived in the mansion of the virtuous king, and the virtuous king can be considered low-key, but the animals raised in his mansion don't just eat these.

Seeing Chu Yuliang not moving her chopsticks for a long time, just sneering persistently, Xiaoqin seemed a little nervous as she pinched the corner of her clothes.

"Okay, put away the things, I'm not hungry." Chu Yuliang waved at her with a cold face, motioning for her to remove the garbage on the table.It's better to let her eat the leftovers of the virtuous king, even those bones are more nutritious than these.

"Yes." Seeing that she refused to eat, Xiaoqin didn't say much, and took the food away one by one.

After taking a bath, Chu Yuliang lay on the newly bought bed, covered with a soft cotton mattress, whether it was comfortable or not, or she couldn't fall asleep due to various insomnia.

I don't know how long she rolled on the bed, she got up suddenly, put on her coat and put on her shoes, then opened the door and rushed into the night furtively——

Before dawn the next day, Han Jiao was woken up by her maid.

"Qing Ya, what happened?" Han Jiao was very dissatisfied at being interrupted before it was time to wake up.

"Go back to madam, the butler just came to report that the house has been attacked by thieves." The servant girl stood at the end of the bed and reported carefully.

"A thief?" Han Jiao immediately lifted the quilt and sat up, her eyes fell on her face with displeasure, "The mansion is heavily guarded, how can a thief come in?"

The servant girl shook her head, "Ma'am, the servant girl doesn't know, but the housekeeper said that the fish and some supplementary ingredients in the kitchen were stolen. It was fine before going to bed last night, but this morning when the chef was making breakfast It was found that many ingredients were missing."

"Oh?" Han Jiao frowned.After a moment of silence, she ordered with a cold face, "Qing Ya, accompany me to see what's going on!"

There are kitchens in each courtyard of the Chu Mansion, but the daily ingredients must be obtained from the big kitchen. Someone specially distributes and records in the big kitchen. Which courtyard should get what and how much will be recorded in detail, so that Han Jiao can check it at the end of the month.

The large and tidy kitchen in the past is now in a mess. The large and small vegetable baskets are overturned and overturned, and all kinds of ingredients are scattered everywhere. To put it bluntly, the big kitchen is more messy than a pigsty. It doesn't look like it was stolen, but it's almost the same as being raped by a pig.

"Madam, please forgive me. It's the little one who neglected his duty. It's the little one who didn't take good care of the kitchen and let the thief make trouble." A middle-aged woman knelt on the ground and kowtowed to Han Jiao, begging for mercy.

Looking at the messy big kitchen, Han Jiao couldn't help feeling angry.She didn't pay much attention to the kitchen steward who kowtowed to admit his mistake, and left angrily with her maid Qing Ya.

It was not yet dawn, and the cool morning was considered the most reliable time for Chu Yuliang to sleep, but today it was obvious that someone would not let her sleep peacefully.

"Miss! Miss! Madam is here!" Outside the door, Xiaoqin's anxious voice came.

Chu Yuliang has always been a light sleeper, how could she sleep with such a big movement, she turned over and sat up when she opened her eyes, just when she bent down to put on her shoes, the door of the room was pushed open, only to see Han Jiao He walked into her room with a servant girl full of anger.
