When the three masters and servants in the house heard this, they looked at each other. Zhu'er preemptively said outside: "Just take it, just take it, such a thief, just send it to the government." In the middle of the night, what are you asking grandma to do! The man replied, "The little one is only here to spread the word, and he doesn't know anything about it." The old lady asked the grandmother to go quickly, as if there was something important. ”

Zhu'er muttered in her mouth: "If it matters, I must say it this time, can't I get up early tomorrow?" Xia Chunchao said: "Let them make such a fuss, and they won't want to sleep this night." Let's go and see what they have to say. When he had finished speaking, he got up, dressed and packed up, and went up to the room.

I was only halfway there, and I saw Yingxia coming from afar with a lantern.

When Yingxia saw Xia Chunchao, she saluted as if she had nothing to do, and said with a smile: "Mrs. asked me to greet grandma, I'm afraid that grandma will go the wrong way." Xia Chunchao was suspicious in his heart and asked, "Aren't you going to go up to the room to see the old lady?" How could they go the wrong way? Ying Xia said with a smile: "It's inconvenient in the upper room, so the master told grandma to go to the main hall to talk back." ”

When Xia Chunchao heard this, he became more and more confused, and saw that Yingxia's demeanor was very arrogant, and he knew that he had nothing to say to her, so he nodded and said, "That is the case, you can lead the way in front of your head." We came out without preparation, only a lantern in Zhu'er's hand, which was not bright enough, just in time for you to come and serve. Ying Xia smiled and said, "Serving grandma is my responsibility. It's just that I don't know how long grandma can be blessed with this blessing? As he spoke, he didn't wait for Xia Chunchao to speak, so he turned around and walked to the main hall.

When Zhu'er saw her like this, she became angry and scolded her: "Grandma, how do you talk about this?!" Who gave you the waist to support you, so presumptuous! Xia Chunchao looked at him coldly, and said: "That's it, let's go to the hall and see the situation, and then make a calculation." But in his heart, he wondered: This Yingxia has always known that it is bad, she can contradict me like this today, presumably tonight's events are a little strange.

At that moment, a group of four people walked towards the main hall, without saying anything all the way.

Walking to the main hall, Xia Chunchao stepped into the door, only to see that the hall was brightly lit, Lu Huancheng and Liu were sitting on the top chair, and there was a boy kneeling in the hall, with his head lying on the ground, and a burden in front of him, thinking that it was the thief who was holding the house tonight.

Xia Chunchao stepped forward, said ten thousand blessings to his in-laws, stood aside and asked, "I don't know if the old lady is recruiting each other at night, what do you have to say?" Lu Huancheng was expressionless and didn't say a word. Liu sneered twice and said to her, "Daughter-in-law, there was a thief at home tonight, do you know?" Xia Chunchao replied along the way: "My daughter-in-law also heard someone shouting in the house, and I heard that she took it, but it was the one kneeling in the hall?" It stands to reason that this caught the thief and should be sent to the government. The old lady passed on her daughter-in-law, could it be that she was a thief, and she was afraid that it would not look good if it was passed on? ”

Liu sneered: "Whether a thief is a thief or not, we don't know it, and we don't recognize it, but a few things were found from this kid, but they are very familiar." lest I kill a good person unjustly, so I specially asked my daughter-in-law to recognize you. ”

When Xia Chunchao heard this, he was shocked in his heart, but his face did not change, and he smiled at Liu's family: "Mrs. said that it was funny, this thief never went to his daughter-in-law's room. I touched a few valuable things, and I should not be a daughter-in-law, how can my wife ask my daughter-in-law to recognize it? The Liu clan snorted in his nose and said, "Don't talk too much, whether it's yours or not, you have to admit it before you know." As he spoke, he commanded his subordinates.

Ying Xia hurriedly picked up the package on the ground, held it in both hands, walked to Xia Chunchao, smiled at her and asked, "Grandma, take a closer look, are the things in it familiar?" ”

Xia Chunchao looked at it, but saw that there was a note in the package, a pair of small embroidered shoes, and a bean green sachet. The three things about embroidering butterflies and peony patterns on the sachet and stringing silver are exactly what I lost when I went to Donghua Building that day!

When Xia Chunchao saw this, he already knew it in his heart, and he was calm on his face, and said to Liu: "My daughter-in-law doesn't know these things, I don't know which house this thief stole from, but my wife asked my daughter-in-law to recognize it?" Liu sneered and said: "What a sharp mouth, even the hairpin ring that has been taken off your body now, can you push it?" This sachet is worn by you to see the sky, and you have been using the silver three things for many years. Who hasn't seen a family of sizes, can you push one?! ”

Xia Chunchao said loudly: "Such things are everywhere. The appearance of the purse is commonplace, and the three things of silver are made by the world, and the young daughters-in-law and girls in the family wear them. Where did you pick up one at random and think it was your daughter-in-law? Liu Shi laughed angrily: "Okay, you open your eyes and say nonsense, it's okay if you don't recognize this." He said to Yingxia again: "Take that note and show her again!" ”

Ying Xia smiled and flipped out the note, opened it and handed it to Xia Chunchao, and said, "Grandma can read it carefully this time, and this handwriting can't be prevaricated." ”

Xia Chunchao looked fixedly, but saw that it was a carmine letter, on which was inscribed a beautiful poem, and the word plate was "Bodhisattva Man":

The moon is dark and the fog is light, and it is good to go to Lang's side tonight. Socks step incense steps, hand gold shoes. See you on the south side of the painting hall, and you have always been trembling. It is difficult for the slave to come out, and the teacher is merciful.

Looking at its handwriting, it is in harmony with his own handwriting, and the inscription under it is the three words "Xia Chun Dynasty".

Xia Chunchao saw it, and his face was so shocked that his face was pale, so he went down like a basin of cold water, and forgot how to deal with it for a while, just staring at the note.

I only heard the Liu family scolding from above: "Shameless and shameless shitty things, what are my Lu family sorry for you?" You will definitely do such a shameless deed, and it will ruin my Lu family's style! You stole a few times from that guy, and you brought it as soon as possible! ”

Xia Chunchao heard this, only then did he come back to his senses, settle down, turned his eyes to look at the Liu family, and said coldly: "Mrs. This is really rare, I am the daughter-in-law of the Lu family Ming Media is marrying, how my character has been in the family all these years, this family should be in the eyes." I'm going to cheat, wait until today? Now it is clear that someone has come to frame me and tarnish the reputation of our Lu family. The old lady didn't say that she would investigate the matter strictly, but brought her daughter-in-law to Xingshi to ask for guilt? The daughter-in-law was framed and her reputation was tarnished, but what good did she do with the Lu family?! ”

Liu snorted and laughed: "So far, everyone is full of stolen goods, you still dare to be hard-mouthed!" I don't think you will give up until you reach the Yellow River. So saying, he cried out to the boy who was kneeling down at his head, "Sayest, how did this woman tell you to give you a private gift, and bring it quickly, so that your flesh and skin will not suffer!" ”

When the guy heard this, he was shocked, kowtowed again and again, and said: "The little one is not on an errand at the second door, but yesterday Zhang Xiaosi was suddenly taken on vacation by his grandmother and made up for me." Because it was grandma's orders, the little ones didn't dare not obey. In the evening of this evening, my grandmother called the little one to the house, rewarded the little wine and food, and gave the little one this bun thing, only saying that it would be sent to the corner door at the third watch tonight, and someone would come to contact. He also said that after the deed was completed, he would reward the small one with ten taels of silver, and let the small one go to the shop to receive an errand. The little ones should be taken down, and they want to send things out at night. Before he reached the second gate, the small one was grabbed by the night watchman and sent to the old lady. After finishing speaking, he trembled and said to the top: "This matter is all grandma's order, and it has nothing to do with the small, and I hope that the old lady will be lightly dismissed!" ”

Xia Chunchao reprimanded angrily: "It's just a mouthful! If I really want to send things out, why don't I let go of so many people who are used to it every day, but make you a nameless little guy?! Who the hell did you instruct to frame me like this?! "It turns out that this person is Wang Fu who replaced Ding Xiaosan in Zhu'er's words before.

Wang Fu didn't dare to answer her words, so he only kowtowed to his head again and again, and the leader was also swollen.

Xia Chunchao turned to the Liu family again and said, "Madam, this matter has nothing to do with the daughter-in-law. This guy didn't know where to get these things, so he relied on his daughter-in-law, and it was too easy to frame him. According to what the daughter-in-law said, he was still escorted down, interrogated in detail with family law, and asked who was the mastermind behind the scenes. Otherwise, he can slander his daughter-in-law for fornicating with others today, will Ming'er be able to frame his wife for stealing family property?! ”

This remark poked at Liu's heart, and his cheeks couldn't help but turn red, annoyed and angry. was about to have a seizure, but he heard the sound of crutches hitting the ground behind him, and a person reported: "The old lady is here." ”

As soon as the words fell, I saw Baolian helping Lu Jia to come trembling from behind.

Everyone in the hall hurriedly got up, Lu Huancheng hurriedly stepped forward, carried Lu Jiashi to the hall to sit, and said with a smile: "It's late at night, why did the old lady come over again?" I was sleepy at night, and Ming'er was going to be out of energy again. As he spoke, he rebuked the servants and maidservants who followed, "How do you all serve?!" In the middle of the night, the old lady still works to get up! ”

Lu Jiashi waved his hand and said: "You don't have to scold them, there is such a fuss ahead, where I can sleep peacefully, come and take a look." As he spoke, he saw Xia Chunchao standing below, so he said to her: "What's the matter, both of the Chunchao girl's eyes are red, but what grievances have you suffered?" ”

Before Xia Chunchao could answer, the Liu family had already squeezed forward, and hurriedly smiled: "It's not that there was a thief at home tonight, and the family caught and searched for a few things. The daughter-in-law looked familiar, as if it was used by the daughter-in-law every day, and she was afraid that there would be something unclean in it, so she called her daughter-in-law to ask. Who knew that it alarmed the old lady, and it was the fault of the daughter-in-law. ”

Lu Jiashi reprimanded: "You are also confused, such a thing, you should ask quietly in private." With such a big fanfare and public court, everyone knows about it, whether this thing is true or not, if it is spread out tomorrow, won't outsiders make up our jokes? ! After a few words, the reprimanded Liu was speechless and stepped aside.

Lu Jiashi pulled Xia Chunchao's hand again and asked, "Spring Dynasty girl, I have always believed in you. You're a good boy, tell the old lady, is that the case? When Xia Chunchao heard this, the grievances that night full of grievances suddenly flared up, rubbing his eyes and choking: "The sky can be learned, if there is really such a thing, the granddaughter-in-law will not die well, and she will not be able to live as a human being for all generations!" ”

Lu Jiashi said: "Good and dignified, what to do with this poisonous oath, this is not a random nonsense." After speaking, he said to Lu Huancheng: "That's it, since the Spring Dynasty said no, I believe her, this matter is like this." The thief will get up and send you to the official mansion, and you will be tried as you want. It was late at night, and they all dispersed. ”

Liu didn't know what had happened, he was full of doubts and unwillingness, and he still had to talk about it.

At this time, I suddenly heard someone outside: "Sure enough, there is another one outside the corner gate!" ”。
