Chapter 035: Closing the Net (2)
Aunt Cui came quickly. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
It's probably because the little girl saw Ding's mother and Bizhu arguing before, and she made things scary. When she came, her face was black, and the word displeasure was written all over her face.
There was a commotion in Jixiang Garden, and Mama Shen also got the news.
Mama Shen went to see Mrs. Qi first, explained the ins and outs of the matter, and asked, "Old lady, is this matter done by the slave maid herself, or is it up to Aunt Cui to handle it?"
Old Madam Qi was checking the newly sent clothes, and said in a meaningless tone: "It's good for you to go and take a look, you don't have to look back and make trouble." ”
Turning over a lake blue one, she grabbed another dark green one: "In a few days, those two girls will go out to be guests, and there can be no more incidents at this juncture." ”
It is not easy to set the person and change it temporarily.
Old Madam Qi lifted her eyelids and glanced at Mama Shen: "You go." ”
Mama Shen got the right words, so she didn't hesitate to go to Jixiangyuan.
The rain was getting heavier outside, so she took an umbrella and walked forward against the wind and rain, and soon her shoes got wet. The shoes and socks were wet and uncomfortable to wear on people's feet. When Mama Shen walked into Jixiang Garden, her face was already long.
Aunt Cui was closer, a moment earlier than her.
At this time, Aunt Cui has been asking in the Taiwei room for a long time.
But Taiwei has been in a trance, hesitating, and has not been able to say anything useful. Aunt Cui asked a few words, and then she was a little impatient, and couldn't help but secretly think that Bizhu really didn't have a word to listen to what Bizhu said before-
The five girls in front of her, although they looked a little different from usual, just became submissive, so there was nothing strange and terrifying.
Aunt Cui was faintly impatient in her heart, raised her glass and poured down half a cup of tea, cleared her throat and said, "The key to this cash box has indeed always been in the hands of Mother Ding?"
Although Ding's mother is her person, she has never asked about trivial matters in Jixiangyuan.
Taiwei nodded honestly: "It always is." ”
"Hmm. Aunt Cui made a noncommittal nasal voice.
It happened that Mama Shen arrived, so she stood up, gently pressed the corner of her lips with a handkerchief, and glanced at Taiwei: "What, the fifth girl specially sent someone to invite Mama Shen to come?"
She smiled: "Such a trivial matter, there is no need to alarm the old lady, right?"
Ding's mother was put in Jixiangyuan by her after all, if the theft of money is true, then it is her person who loses it in the end. And in front of Mama Shen, even if she has the heart to cover up, I'm afraid she won't be able to.
Mama Shen didn't listen to her.
Old Madam Qi is the serious master in the eyes of Mama Shen, she is a concubine, and she is nothing.
Aunt Cui looked at Taiwei.
Taiwei just lowered her eyes and was silent.
"That's it. Aunt Cui sneered and turned her head to walk outside.
Mama Shen was already standing under the corridor, staring at Bizhu and Ding's mother. Two people, accusing each other and biting each other, are so quarrelsome.
Mama Shen snorted "shut up" and reprimanded sharply: "One is the mother in the girl's room, and the other is the personal maid next to the girl, both of whom are people with heads and faces, and now they are arguing like this, do you not know that you are ashamed?"
She straightened her face, and even Aunt Cui felt terrible, not to mention Mother Ding and Bizhu.
Mrs. Qi loves to punish, and Mama Shen is her law enforcement elder.
The whole house was afraid of her.
Ding's mother and Bizhu closed their mouths in unison for a moment, and lowered their heads in silence.
Mama Shen walked past the two of them and took two steps forward. The shoes were watery, and she frowned a little annoyed.
It's raining outside the corridor.
Mama Shen walked up to Aunt Cui, and said with a slight blessing: "Auntie is in charge of the house, since something happened in this Xiangyuan, it should also be dealt with by Auntie." The old slave came over today, just to help the aunt, and the aunt doesn't have to care about the old slave. ”
Aunt Cui couldn't laugh when she heard this, and only hooked the corner of her mouth and said: "This matter is mostly a misunderstanding, I'm afraid that Mama Lao will have to run for nothing." ”
Mama Shen's face remained unchanged, and her tone remained the same: "Whether it is a misunderstanding or not, we will know in the first trial." ”
She and Aunt Cui, one by one, called Bizhu and Ding's mother to the side for questioning.
Ding's mother said that the key was in Bizhu's hand, and Bizhu said that the key was in Ding's mother's hand.
The two of them insisted on their own words, and neither of them would let go.
Bizhu cried again, saying that Ding's mother wanted her to help her commit perjury, but she didn't comply, so Ding's mother pushed her into the rain and verbally insulted her, and stepped on her foot......
Ding's mother insisted that Bizhu framed her.
After asking for a long time, Aunt Cui looked at Bizhu who was kneeling on the ground and pumping, selfishly, and was more willing to believe her words. But thinking of Ding's mother over the years, she has been well-behaved, and she doesn't need to tell her every word to know how to learn from Qi Taiwei, Aunt Cui doesn't want to believe Bizhu in her heart.
Qi Taiwei, that stinky girl, how much silver can she have?
How uninformed does Ding's mother have to be to steal?
But because Bizhu and Ding's mother quarreled under the porch, she had to take care of it.
Out of the door of the ear room, Aunt Cui and Mama Shen converged and talked, and came to ask Taiwei again. Taiwei looked scared, and whispered for others: "It's better to forget it." ”
"It's really not a lot of money. She said with red eyes.
Aunt Cui was distressed that she couldn't give up any of them, and when she heard the words, she wanted to climb down the pole, but before she could speak, she heard Mama Shen categorically veto: "Mother Ding and the two blame each other, there must be ghosts among them, and it is not a matter of how much money has been lost." ”
Aunt Cui was in front of her, as if she was in front of Mrs. Qi, and when she saw this, she had to grit her teeth and say: "Since I have checked, there is no reason to give up halfway." She raised her voice suddenly, and asked people to search for Ding's mother and Bizhu's bodies.
searched around, but did not find the key to the cash box.
Neither of them had any.
Aunt Cui asked people to search the house again.
As a result, I searched it from under Ding's mother's pillow.
The key lay in Aunt Cui's palm, and she glared at Ding's mother with hatred. Ding's mother was shocked, and hurriedly knelt on the ground and begged for mercy, crying and complaining, saying that she had never taken the key.
Bizhu's heart beat like a drum after seeing the key, and her fear of Taiwei was heavy, and she immediately knelt on the ground, stepped forward on her knees, and said to Aunt Cui: "Please also ask Aunt Mingjian!"
Aunt Cui was silent in annoyance.
The key was found under Ding's mother's pillow, but Ding's mother's house was locked, and outsiders couldn't enter it at all. This key, if it wasn't put there by Ding's mother herself, could it be a ghost?
Aunt Cui asked Ding's mother angrily: "The physical evidence is right in front of you, why don't you recruit it quickly!"
Ding's mother was confused and frightened, and just blindly screamed.
This situation inexplicably reminded Aunt Cui of her previous appearance of being too slightly unwilling to admit her mistake.
The evidence was conclusive, but she refused to admit it.
Naturally, Aunt Cui knew in her heart that Taiwei didn't admit it because Taiwei was indeed wronged.
What about Keding's mother?
Could it be wronged too?
But who wronged her?
Aunt Cui suddenly turned her face sideways and looked at Taiwei, who was sitting quietly on the side, as if she was dazzled, and as if she had really seen it, she found that the girl not far away smiled coldly at her.
But in an instant, Aunt Cui's heart was bottomless.
The key to the cash box was still in her hand, cold, hard, and panicked.
She swallowed a mouthful of saliva and said hesitantly, "Mother Ding, did you really not take the key?"
As soon as the words fell, before Ding's mother opened her mouth, Mama Shen coughed heavily in displeasure.
Aunt Cui was shocked.
Shen Mama said, "Auntie, what do you mean by this?"
Aunt Cui was a little speechless: "I, I...... I just want to make sure again......"
Mama Shen had a calm face: "You have said it, the physical evidence is there, what else needs to be confirmed......? Cover up, huh?"
"How could it be!" Aunt Cui laughed, knowing that Mother Ding was in a catastrophe this time.
Even if Ding's mother didn't steal the money, but the key was in her hands, she still couldn't get out of it. What's more, Ding's mother didn't carry such a key with her, but just stuffed it under the pillow, which was already a dereliction of duty.
As for who stole the money, Ding's mother admitted it, and it would only be worse if she didn't admit it.
Aunt Cui's mind was racing, and she sighed secretly, the matter has come to this point, there is really no need to involve Bizhu anymore.
She changed her words and said in a fierce tone: "Theft must be severely punished! Mother Ding, do you say it? Even if you don't admit it, you won't be able to escape the crime of dereliction of duty, so I think you should explain it honestly as soon as possible!"
But Ding's mother still cried and screamed that she was wronged.
Aunt Cui's heart "fluttered" and skipped.
That's good.
Ding's mother didn't admit it, and the thief was still in Jixiangyuan.
There are a lot of people below, all of whom are suspected of stealing.
As long as she Qi Taiwei refuses to let go, this matter is still not over.
Aunt Cui clenched the handkerchief in her hand, and as soon as she turned around, she heard Tai Wei say in a panicked tone: "Isn't it the silver that Ding's mother took?
