Chapter 12 Suspects in the Inner Court

Forget it, don't want to.

Gu Zhirong shook her head, did that Yue Wang concubine have ambitions, what did she have to do with herself? She just wanted to build a happy home in Yuedi, why was it so difficult?

Putting aside the matter of the scandalous actor for the time being, Gu Zhirong turned his head and asked Mingyue: "Tell me, how did the painting from a few years ago suddenly come out and put it on me, what is going on?"

This matter is clearly a premeditated crime, she has also painted over the years, why didn't she see the thief stealing her paintings in the past few years, but she stole the one of her Linmo Su Wang, but she inscribed a poem, and painted the one with two mandarin ducks, if it is said that the thief stole it by chance, then there is really a ghost.

Mingyue frowned, and felt very strange: "That thief is really good enough, how could he find that painting?" After so many years, even the slave almost forgot that the young lady had painted such a painting......

"You almost forgot that painting?" Gu Zhirong turned his head to look at her.

Mingyue nodded very seriously: "Yes, Miss, after so many years, who will remember so much?" Besides, Miss painted a lot of pictures later, and this bookcase is almost impossible to put down." Didn't the young lady tell the slave to burn all the paintings in the bookcase a few years ago? The slave and maid counted and remembered very clearly, but did not see the painting with the picture of the mandarin duck, and the slave and maid also thought about it at that time, and remembered that there seemed to be this painting, but I don't know when I lost it. Who would have thought that this painting would still be there, but it would become evidence of the false lady. ”

"You don't know when you lost it?" Gu Zhirong's heart became more and more invented, "I'm afraid that someone borrowed it with ulterior motives." ”

Mingyue didn't understand: "Borrowed? It's unlikely, Miss's paintings have always been in the hands of slaves and maids over the years, and no one has come to borrow paintings." ”

Gu Zhirong looked at Mingyue very seriously and said, "Sometimes this borrowed word means stealing. ”

Mingyue suddenly realized, and immediately became nervous, she looked around, and said in a low voice: "Could it be that Miss Fei suspects that there are thieves in the yard?"

Gu Zhirong nodded.

If there is a person who can steal her paintings from her house many years ago without knowing it, there is no better explanation than the thief.

But there are not many maids in her yard, there are only a few in total......

Gu Zhirong's gaze crossed the windowsill and looked out. The afternoon sun is just right, the breeze is soft, and the weeping willows in the courtyard are still clinging. People come and go in the yard, some are repairing flowers and cutting grass, feeding birds and cleaning, some are washing and drying, and there is a busy atmosphere.

By her side, there are bright moons and green picks for first-class girls. I grew up with him since I was a child, and I can be regarded as a heart-to-heart and have nothing to say.

The second-class girl has green water, jade cicadas, and snow geese. The first two were picked into the house by his biological mother Su Shi before her death. No one knew the origin of these two girls, but Gu Zhirong believed that his smart mother, if he was not trustworthy, would definitely not put him by his side. The identity of the snow goose is not very clear, it was dialed by the old lady, in charge of tea, it has been considered a safe part in the past few years, and it is low-key.

At the beginning, she also suspected Snow Goose, but that fifteen-year-old Yahuan was very safe, and people couldn't find thorns. Besides, she is in charge of tea, if she wants to frame herself, she can work tea, and she doesn't have to go around such a big circle to steal paintings that she doesn't remember to frame herself.

The third-class girl Ying'er, Yu'er, Xing'er, and Yan'er, but after the scandal, the old lady ordered them to be changed. It turned out that there were also four little girls, except for one who was ransomed by her brother and sister-in-law, and the other three were accused of "poor service" by the old lady, and they were all sent out, which was also the first knife that the old lady used against Liu Yunyuan after the accident.

The four new girls were all very young, only twelve or thirteen years old. The Gu Mansion replaced Yahuan, and they all entrusted Huang Lingpo from Chenwu Lane to let her lead the trained Yahuan into the mansion, and there were many uncertain factors in this way. But because they all bought after the accident, it doesn't seem to have anything to do with the scandal.

Gu Zhirong was a little dumbfounded, thinking about it like this, there didn't seem to be any suspects in his yard, could it be that the painting had grown feet by himself, and he couldn't run out of it?

Mingyue looked at Gu Zhirong's increasingly solemn face, and her heart was beating "thump", about to jump out of her chest. You must know that in the inner courtyard of the deep house, the most taboo thing is that there are unidentified people hiding around you, which is tantamount to hanging a steel knife above your head, and you don't know what will fall, and that kind of fear is extremely terrifying.

Mingyue followed Gu Zhirong's gaze, and her eyes roamed back and forth on the girls who came and went in the yard like a searchlight.

As soon as Gu Zhirong turned around, he saw Mingyue's appearance, and couldn't help laughing: "Mingyue, are you trying to arrest criminals?"

Mingyue looked at her resentfully, angry and anxious: "Miss, when is it, do you still have the heart to laugh?" She turned her head to look at the girls outside, and said hatefully, "What kind of dead girl did a good thing to eat inside and out, if I find out, see if I don't pick up her skin!"

Gu Zhirong smiled and said: "Okay Mingyue, don't be like this, you look like you want to eat people, you will definitely startle the snake, and the snakes that were supposed to come out of the hole were scared back by you." ”

Mingyue looked at her in a daze: "Miss, could it be that they have the next move?"

Gu Zhirong nodded: "They spent so much effort to do this, but unfortunately it failed." Didn't you listen to Zi Shao yesterday, this time the old lady only punished me for grounding and asking me to copy Buddhist scriptures, and didn't say anything else, this is not their ultimate goal. ”

Mingyue said hatefully: "Their ultimate goal is to snatch the Wanguan property left by Mrs. before her death, and they will never stop until they achieve their goal." She raised her head, her eyes clear, "Miss, we must be more careful in the future." ”

Gu Zhirong said with relief: "You and Cai Qing, Green Water, and Jade Cicada pay attention to this time, keep an eye on me inside and outside the house, don't let people take anything as a token, and bring something in casually." ”

Mingyue answered, was silent for a long time, and asked, "Miss, do you know who did it?"

"Great lady. Gu Zhirong said without thinking.

Mingyue looked at her in amazement, surprised that she had come to a conclusion so quickly, and this guess was in line with what she thought, "Why?"

Gu Zhirong smiled: "In terms of the depth of thought, the second lady can't compare to the eldest lady after all." ”
