Qiu Ruyi listened attentively, but when a girl got up at night and frightened each other, she didn't take it seriously, and still thought about her own thoughts.

At this time, I heard another girl shouting, "Who are you? ”

Qiu Ruyi couldn't help frowning, and Chu'er, who had been on the night, also woke up from her sleep, glanced at Qiu Ruyi's bed, and quietly got up and walked to the window to listen.

I didn't want to, and then I heard the girl shout loudly: "It's coming, it's not good, a thief has come in." ”

At this time, it was the dead of night, and the girl's frightened voice was sharp and a little terrified, like a sharp weapon with a hook that made people feel uncomfortable.

Qiu Ruyi was so frightened by this sound that she couldn't stand it, and she got up.

Seeing this, Chu'er hurriedly walked over from the window, and said while lighting the lamp and candle: "It may be that there is a girl who gets up at night, I don't know what I saw, I was timid and didn't have anything to do, so I was startled and called out, and I startled Miss." Catch up with Ming'er, you have to let the steward teach them well, don't shout when you see a flower shadow. ”

Qiu Ruyi was silent, just listening attentively to the movement outside.

At this time, the girls who heard the movement outside came back to the door to check, and faintly heard the mother-in-law reprimanding the little girl, the little girl sobbed and explained, and the others were chattering, but they couldn't tell what they were saying.

Qiu Ruyi couldn't help but stroke his chest, shook his head and smiled: "You're still right, our house is not facing the street, and there are several layers of people living inside and outside the house, how can ordinary thieves enter this inner courtyard." Unless he can fly the eaves and walk the wall, if he really has such a ability. They won't come to our house to steal. ”

At this time, Xing'er also came to check, heard it, and said with a smile: "What Miss said is that the thieves can't get in, and the housekeeper of the lady inside has strictly put an end to the thieves, and it is all those little girls who are reckless, which scares Miss." ”

Who knows, at this moment, I heard someone in the outer courtyard shouting: "Hurry up and light the lamps and candles, there are thieves in the house." ”

Qiu Ruyi's master and servant were stunned for a moment. Or apricot clever. Hurriedly ran to the door and bolted the door, and Chu Er casually picked up a Buddha dust and stood in front of Qiu Ruyi.

Qiu Ruyi couldn't help but shake his head and smile bitterly.

The girls and mothers-in-law in the courtyard were about to go back to the room, but at this time they were a little panicked and yelling.

The two little girls also shouted: "What we saw just now is that someone is walking around the wall." ”

Fan's mother didn't come home tonight. At this time, I was busy with the girl. He walked to the front of the room again. "Is Miss alright?"

Xing'er opened the door and agreed, and Fan's mother saw Qiu Ruyi behind Xing'er. With a bottom in her heart, she appeased everyone in the courtyard, let people light lamps and candles, and illuminated the courtyard as bright as day, and she personally led people to search all corners of the courtyard.

At this time, Qiu Ruhai also rushed over with people, and Qiu Ruyi asked people to open the courtyard door.

Qiu Ruhai wiped beads of sweat and panted and said, "It seems that two thieves have entered the house, and one has been caught, and the other has run over the wall." Mother is not at ease, let me take you over. ”

When Qiu Ruyi heard that there was indeed a thief in the house, he couldn't help but gasp, and hurriedly asked, "How is the sister-in-law?"

Qiu Ruhai said with a smile: "You just have to rest assured, my mother also sent someone to pick her up, don't even think about sleeping in our family tonight, who knows how many thieves have entered the house and where they are hiding." The internal and external stewards are taking people to carefully search the courtyard, hoping to find out the bright hall. ”

Qiu Ruyi stopped talking nonsense, and took the girl to follow Qiu Ruhai to the Yu family's courtyard.

As soon as he entered the main courtyard, he saw that the courtyard was also brightly lit, and Yu was standing in the courtyard with an angry face and reprimanded everyone: "How did you go on an errand at night and let the thieves enter the house." ”

Everyone asked for guilt, and Yu Shi looked up and saw that his daughter and daughter-in-law were safe and sound, and his heart was at ease, and his anger decreased slightly, so he said: "When the day dawns, I will settle accounts with you again, and I don't want to check everywhere." ”

For a while, the housekeepers took the girls and the girls and the little maids to check around with lanterns and torches, and even in the depths of the willow shade, the flowers were among them, and they also went back and forth several times.

Yu waited for everyone to leave, and then went back to the main room to sit down with the support of his children.

As soon as he sat down, Yu Shi couldn't help but feel sad in his heart, and sighed: "Your father and brother are studying as officials in the capital, and they have handed over all their families to me. I've been guarding this home with trepidation all these years, but I didn't expect such an ugly thing to happen. Fortunately you are all well, otherwise I would not have seen your father and brother, even so, I would have failed their trust. ”

Qiu Ruhai hurriedly smiled: "Mother doesn't have to blame herself, in the final analysis, it is her son who is lax in the outer courtyard, which gives the thief an opportunity to take advantage of." ”

Qiu Ruyi and Wang Qiaoer also made their own words of consolation.

Yu Shi understood that this was not the time to blame himself, so he temporarily pressed it, and when he heard that the thief might have gone to his daughter's courtyard, he couldn't help but become more and more angry.

Taking advantage of the opportunity to mention the thief, Qiu Ruyi also raised his doubts to his mother: "If it is peaceful today, the people are simple, and the security of Shunyang City has always been excellent, and in the past two years, there have been no natural disasters and man-made disasters. ”

Wang Qiao'er also said: "From the perspective of my daughter-in-law, today's thief is obviously coming for Ruyi, and it must be related to Qiu Ruolan and Liu Ting." ”

For a while, the thief was tied up, and Qiu Ruyi and Wang Qiao'er avoided behind the screen.

Yu Shi had already accumulated his anger and shouted: "Tell me quickly, who sent you and what do you want to do?"

At first, the thief was stubborn, but he said that his family was poor and could not stand the hunger, so he came to steal something of value and sell it.

Qiu Ruhai kicked the thief hard, and said angrily: "I go to the law, enter the house at night, and the master can be killed on the spot, not guilty." If you don't tell the truth, be careful that I'll have you beaten to death. ”

The thief was still stubborn, and refused to tell the truth.

Qiu Ruhai was also so angry that he really dragged the thief down, and beat him with dozens of sticks, the man couldn't stand it, so he had to beckon: "I am the guardian of the uncle of the Three Kingdoms, and I am invited by Miss Qiu to be a guest on the order of Miss." ”

When Yu Shi heard this, he was so angry that he asked Qiu Ruhai to write down the matter in detail, and then asked the man to draw a postponement, leaving him alive for the time being, and letting people take him down for treatment.

Yu's mother and son discussed the next thing overnight.

Originally, this matter should be sued to the official, but this matter spread out, which inevitably gave people an opportunity to chew on right and wrong, and now it is the critical time for Qiu Ruyi and An Shicheng to exchange posts, that is, the Lu Guogong Mansion does not care, but it is not an auspicious thing in the end, and it may not affect the family affairs of the two families.

Qiu Ruyi sneered: "An inauspicious thing has happened, can we really hide it from the Lu Guo Mansion? It will also be our shortcoming in the future, besides, Liu Ting dares to harm me like this, I can't stand this anger, and I must fight back. If this matter is put down, I don't know if I will have another chance in the Year of the Monkey. Besides, with Liu Ting's belly, if this matter is not successful, it will not stop, only a thousand days to be a thief, how can there be a thousand days to prevent thieves. ”

When Yu heard this, he felt that it was reasonable, and when it was dawn, he sent someone to Shunyang County to sue Liu Ting.

Shunyang County ordered to receive the paper, complaining bitterly, straight said that he had been really unlucky in the past two years, since he came to Shunyang City, nothing was smooth, and he was really guilty of the Liu family.

In the past, because of the thief on Liu Xianzhuangzi, he was demoted, but now he received a complaint against Liu Ting.

Shunyang County ordered where to dare to summon Liu Ting, and finally according to the master's idea, he sent someone to talk to the Liu family first, and let the Liu family find a way to go by themselves.

At this time, another nursing home of the Liu family had already gone back to report to Liu Ting, and Liu Ting was so angry that she scolded: "What a bunch of waste, how good you are at it every day, you can't go to a civilian home to tie up someone." ”

The man lowered his head and listened to the reprimand for a long time, and when Liu Ting was tired of scolding and stopped to rest, Fang carefully said: "Now that the Li Nursing Home has been taken by the Qiu family, if the Qiu family can beat him to death immediately, this matter will be easy to do, but Miss Fei will appease his family with a few taels of silver, and I am afraid that the Qiu family will torture the Li Nursing Yuan, in case the Li Nursing Yuan can't bear it, this matter will be troublesome." ”

Liu Ting sneered: "What's the trouble, as long as the surname Li should recruit me, I dare to beat his family out, the Liu family has never had him." ”

When the man heard this, he couldn't help but look up at Liu Ting, feeling a little sad in his heart, and sighed: "He has been a nurse in Liu's house for some years, but I'm afraid that if it is not a word from Miss, he will be able to erase him." ”

Liu Ting didn't think so, like this kind of thing about thieves in the inner courtyard, most people think about the reputation of the inner courtyard, most of them are big things and small things, at most, the Qiu family only dares to hate themselves in their hearts, where do they dare to really shout out.

No, at this time, Liu Xian got the news from the Shunyang County Order, and he was so angry that his liver hurt, and he called his daughter over one after another.

Liu Ting panicked, hurriedly ran to her mother's room, and asked her mother to intercede on her father's behalf.

But at this time, after Zhang knew what was going on, he was so angry that he slapped his daughter: "You are really confused, and you can think of this kind of dirty thing with a bad name." ”

Liu Ting hurriedly knelt down in front of her mother and cried: "My daughter knows that she is wrong, and I ask my mother to help her daughter plead, don't let her father beat her daughter." ”

Liu Xian waited for his daughter for a long time, and he had already guessed that his daughter was going to find his wife for help, so he walked over by himself and sneered: "If I kill you this time, I will also remove you from the father-daughter relationship, so as not to tarnish the reputation of my Liu family." There has never been a boudoir woman in my Liu family who has been summoned by the yamen. (To be continued......)
