Chu Chongzhu and Li Yuniang had a tendency to not be able to get out of bed this time, Zhu Yuenuan, as a daughter-in-law, had to take on the trivial matters of serving tea, pouring water, sending medicine and food, and she couldn't find time to inquire about that person's origin for a while.

In Langui Town, the matter of the Chu family has been widely known, and there is an endless stream of distant relatives and neighbors who come to visit.

On the evening of the fourth day, the last guest was finally sent away, and Zhu Yuenuan returned to the room after cleaning up, and immediately noticed that something was wrong.

Someone moved her box.

Zhu Yuenuan walked towards the box expressionlessly.

Eighteen large red cabinets, lined up in two tiers on the edge of the wall, each with a lock she had made herself.

Zhu Yuenuan walked to the middle, held up one of them and looked at it, the hidden buckle on the lock was not opened, but a few points on the bright side were pressed, obviously someone wanted to open it, but it was in vain.

Loosening the lock, Zhu Yuenuan swept away again, and the other boxes were the same as before, but on the dresser, the dressing box that was commonly used every day was slightly moved.

After opening it, sure enough, a gold bracelet, two pairs of earrings, and a pair of pearl bracelets were missing.

Zhu Yuenuan pursed her lips, closed the box heavily, washed and rested.

The next day, Zhu Yuenuan finished washing, opened one of the cabinets, took out a packet of powder from one of the boxes inside, sprinkled it on each box and lock at will, and then went out of the room.

Still, what to do is still to be done.

"Alas, I'm old, I've been tired like this in just two days, and I can't slow down until now." Li Yuniang and Chu Chongzhu were sighing when they were having breakfast, and when they saw Zhu Yuenuan on the side, they said with a smile, "Fortunately, I have a daughter-in-law." Otherwise, I wouldn't have paid attention to the illness in bed. ”

"What did my mother-in-law say, there is no daughter-in-law, your second elder, your husband and brother-in-law, they will take care of you and your father-in-law." Zhu Yuenuan smiled.

"Count on them to ......," Chu Chong said half-sentenced. glanced at Chu Erbing.

Chu Erbing just buried his head in eating and ignored him.

Zhu Yuenuan looked at Chu Erbing, glanced at his hand, and then turned his gaze away.

"Yue Nuan, I estimate that there may be guests coming today, and you can go and cut more meat in a while. Grab some wine and have it ready. Although Li Yuniang has improved a lot, her expression is still sad.

"Whoa." Zhu Yuenuan has no objection.

After eating, Li Yuniang didn't need her to clean up, so Zhu Yuenuan took the vegetable basket and went out halfway. Unexpectedly met Qin Shiyu.

Qin Shiyu was wearing the Confucian clothes of the academy, and he was followed by his family's little servant, and he looked a lot thinner.

"Sister-in-law Chu." Seeing Zhu Yuenuan, his eyes lit up and he greeted politely.

Zhu Yuenuan nodded slightly, and bent her knees slightly in response.

"Sister-in-law Chu, please stay." Qin Shiyu took a step across, stopped Zhu Yuenuan, and said with a smile. "I heard that Brother Chu went on a study tour of Daishan Academy?"

"yes, is there a problem?" Zhu Yuenuan was faint and kept a distance from him.

"There's no problem. It's just that I envy Brother Chu for having this opportunity. Qin Shiyu said with a smile, "Sister-in-law Chu is Mr. Qing Miao's female student, I think about it, I have a lot of research on knowledge, I wonder if Sister-in-law Chu can give me some advice?" ”

"Sorry, one. I'm not sir, two. I'm not available. Zhu Yuenuan didn't have a good face, so she refused directly. If Qin Gongzi wants to learn, he should go to the academy early, instead of wandering on the road at this point and accosting a girl from a good family. ”

"Sister-in-law Chu, what's good, we also know each other." Qin Shiyu was a little hurt, and stared deeply at Zhu Yuenuan, "My fair lady, good gentleman, what I did was just out of admiration, and there was no malice towards you, why are you so jealous of me?" ”

"Qin Gongzi, are you too proud to put gold on your face?" Zhu Yuenuan couldn't help laughing, raised her eyebrows and looked at him and said, "I'm very busy, I don't have time to talk nonsense with you, jealous of you?" Excuse me, is there anything you can make me jealous of? ”…

After that, you have to bypass him and leave.

"I heard that the Chu family recently had a business failure, I don't know about it, does Brother Chu know?" Qin Shiyu turned sideways slightly, shook the jade fan and asked with a smile.

Zhu Yuenuan suddenly stopped, turned to look at Qin Shiyu suddenly, squinted her eyes and asked affirmatively, "It's you?!" ”

"It's not me, but I know who it is." Qin Shiyu shook his head, always with a smile on his face, looking at Zhu Yuenuan's face, his eyes were intoxicated, "Yuenuan, I have no ill will towards you." ”

"Qin Shiyu, please pay attention to your title, and no matter who it is, please tell him, just enough!!" Zhu Yuenuan approached him, stared at him coldly, and said coldly, "If you provoke this girl, you will bear the consequences!" ”

"Hehe, Yue Nuan, you call yourself this girl, are you and Brother Chu ...... Haven't you had a round house yet? Qin Shiyu seemed to be very useful, and he also got closer, and his tone was soft and outrageous.

"Die!" Zhu Yuenuan squinted her eyes fiercely, gritted her teeth fiercely, and when she turned sideways, her elbow also hit it, knocking Qin Shiyu into the back and smashing it on the bucket in the opposite corner.

The bucket contained stinky water that had been filled for a few days, Qin Shiyu smashed it, the bucket was torn apart, the stinky water splashed everywhere, and he was lying there on his back.

This movement immediately attracted the attention of the surrounding pedestrians, who gathered around and looked at the two of them and pointed at them.

"Qin Shiyu, you are also a well-educated son, and you are so shameless! There will be a next time, I will never spare you!! Zhu Yuenuan was condescending, gave a stern warning, and left proudly, leaving behind the onlookers who were talking and Qin Shiyu who was smiling bitterly.

It's just that this chance encounter, as well as what Qin Shiyu said, still affected Zhu Yuenuan, and bought vegetables all the way, Zhu Yuenuan kept a straight face, tired of those vendors, and thought that she had offended this Miss Zhu, and they all accompanied her with a smile.

Zhu Yuenuan didn't say much, bought something and paid the silver, and turned around directly.

As soon as I entered the courtyard, I heard the voice of the fifth uncle from Li Yuniang's room: "Yitong and his mother, have you ever thought about the reason why your family has not been peaceful recently?" ”

Hearing the voice of the fifth uncle, Zhu Yuenuan's steps that were about to enter the kitchen suddenly paused, and she raised her eyes and looked at the door over there.

"Well, I don't know what's going on lately. All kinds of unpleasantness. Li Yuniang sighed, "First on the day of worshipping the Buddha, I almost died, and then it was Erbing, and this time it was business." Alas......"

"So, when did this qiē begin? Wasn't it all good before? The fifth aunt had a guiding tone.

"When will it ......," Li Yuniang muttered.

"Is it Yitong and his daughter-in-law ...... after entering the door," the fifth aunt lowered her voice and said eagerly.

Zhu Yuenuan suddenly squinted.

"Fifth sister-in-law, you can't talk nonsense." Li Yuniang was suddenly unhappy, "If it weren't for the warmth of our family, I would have died a long time ago, and there is Er Bing." If it weren't for her, maybe he would have become like his grandfather in the future, and this business...... In short, don't talk nonsense. ”

"Okay, okay, I won't say. Isn't that my good intention, kindness is treated as a donkey's liver and lungs......" The fifth uncle continued angrily, "You don't want to think about it, it was all good before, why did Yitong go out alone after she entered the door, why did there be so many things...... Don't let me say it, you. Just wait for something big to happen and cry yourself. ”

Listening to that tone, it was obvious that he was going to break up unhappily.

Zhu Yuenuan stood at the door of the kitchen with a cold face. Turning to look at the door, he didn't dodge it.

After a while, the door opened, and the fifth aunt walked out, and when she looked up, she saw Zhu Yuenuan, and she couldn't help but be stunned for a moment. Then he showed a flattering smile: "Yo, my nephew and daughter-in-law are back from grocery shopping?" This early in the morning. Hard, right? ”…

"Don't you sit down for a while?" Zhu Yuenuan's tone was light, and her eyes locked on the hands and placket of the fifth uncle. A sneer appeared at the corner of his lips.

"No, there's something going on at home." The fifth aunt smiled, and didn't dare to look directly at Zhu Yuenuan's gaze for a while, and was about to leave with a smile.

Zhu Yuenuan put the wine in her hand on the windowsill, slowly pinched a peanut from the basket, and flicked her fingers.

The fifth aunt's knees were weak, and she fell straight to the ground: "Oh, hey~~ It hurts me to death!" ”

"Fifth sister-in-law, what's wrong with you?" Li Yuniang came out of the house when she heard the sound.

"Fifth uncle, have you been working hard lately? How can you fall even if you walk well? Zhu Yuenuan also put down the basket in her hand, walked over quickly, stepped on the peanuts with one foot, and bent down to help the fifth uncle.

The fifth aunt struggled to get up with her strength.

Zhu Yuenuan suddenly stretched out her hand and pulled out the things in her arms, and asked in surprise: "Fifth uncle, why did my jewelry get to you?" ”

At this question, the fifth uncle's face suddenly changed greatly, she jumped up and hugged her clothes, glared at Zhu Yuenuan and said: "Nonsense, this is what I just bought for my daughter's dowry, where is yours!" ”

"Fifth sister-in-law, this jewelry is not cheap, how much did you spend to buy it?" When Li Yuniang saw this, she couldn't help but ask with a sinking face.

"This ...... Ten taels. The fifth aunt's eyes flickered, and she reported the number angrily.

"Fifth uncle, this string of southern pearls, a grain is more than ten taels, it was three years ago, when I was in time, my little uncle asked someone to buy it from Kyoto, at the beginning, it cost three thousand taels, you said ten taels, why don't you give you one hundred taels of silver, you help me buy ten eight back?" Zhu Yuenuan smiled faintly.

"What...... What the? Three thousand taels!! Are you slandering? When the fifth aunt heard this, she exclaimed in surprise.

"There is also that gold bracelet, made by a famous family in Kyoto, worth five hundred taels, that pair of pearl bracelets, and this jewelry is tied to one, one thousand taels, and those small earrings, but they are not worth anything, and they add up to only one hundred taels, if your daughter likes it, it doesn't matter with her, only the bracelet and bracelet, you should return it." Zhu Yuenuan continued.

"Hiss~~Fifth sister-in-law, you !!" Li Yuniang glared at the fifth uncle in surprise.

And the fifth aunt was already frightened by Zhu Yuenuan's offer: "You are talking nonsense, that bracelet is obviously different from this, where is the same style...... Finish. ”

"Fifth sister-in-law, how can you do this!!" Li Yuniang rushed up, wanting to break the hands of the fifth uncle and turn things out of her arms.

Where would the fifth aunt let go, hugged her clothes tightly, and was forced by Li Yuniang to be ruthless, she went directly to bite it.

Li Yuniang was in pain, exclaimed and let go of her hand and retreated, but there was already a clear tooth mark on the back of her hand.

"You! Don't talk nonsense, what proof do you have that these are yours? Pay back three thousand taels, you deliberately slander me!! The fifth uncle was a dead duck with a hard mouth, holding her clothes and stepping back, while vigilantly guarding against Zhu Yuenuan and Li Yuniang.

"What's going on?" Chu Chongzhu came back from outside and came out with Chu Erbing, who heard the movement, and couldn't help but be stunned when he saw this scene.

"Fifth uncle, look at your daughter-in-law, it's so unbelievable, you dare to frame me for stealing her jewelry, you know, I bought it to add a dowry to my daughter!!" When the fifth uncle saw Chu Chonghammer, the wicked person sued first.

"If you bought it yourself, then what are you hiding? Take it out for everyone to see. Li Yuniang glared at the fifth uncle angrily, and pressed her hand on the bite place.

"Why should I show you?" The fifth aunt said with a stiff neck.

"Since the fifth aunt said no, okay, I can only report to the official and ask the chief to send someone to help me check the whereabouts of my jewelry." Zhu Yuenuan frowned.

"Eldest daughter-in-law, your things were stolen?!" When Chu Chongzhu heard this, he immediately glared at the fifth uncle, and said coldly, "Er Bing, go and invite your fifth uncle and third uncle to come over, everyone is gathered, check it out." ”…

"Whoa!" Chu Erbing looked the fifth uncle up and down, turned around and ran.

"Fifth uncle, what do you mean?" A trace of panic flashed in the fifth aunt's eyes, but she stiffened her hair and asked, "Okay, I'm your sister-in-law, sister-in-law is like a mother, it's disrespectful for you to be like this." ”

"The eldest sister-in-law is like a mother, the fifth uncle, you seem to be misremembering." Zhu Yuenuan didn't even waive the honorific title, and said with a hint of disdain.

"You ......" Wu Boniang glared at her, resentment flashed in her eyes, but unfortunately, Chu Chong stood at the only door without moving, she couldn't escape at all, her eyes rolled, she sat directly on the ground, patted her thighs and howled.

Zhu Yuenuan looked at it and stroked her forehead: "Fifth uncle, we haven't done anything to you yet, why are you crying?" ”

"You ungrateful people, ah~~~ I wonder who tightened your belts and saved food to help you...... Ah~~ Now your family has married a rich daughter-in-law...... Ah~~ Bullying and slandering me like this~~Old man~~Why didn't you take me away earlier~~Leave me alone, bullied by your brother~Ah~~~ I'm not alive~~I'll strangle my God~~"

The fifth aunt sang with a turning cry throughout the courtyard, and every sentence of "ah~" was also in tune with the thighs and smacking the ground, and shaking the nose outside.

Chu Chongzhu's face suddenly darkened.

Li Yuniang was also full of indignation, but there was no way to take the fifth uncle.

"Auntie, what's wrong?" At this moment, Mo Xiaoyin hurriedly ran in, followed by Xiao Ran and others, looking curiously.

When the fifth aunt saw someone come in and ask, she cried even more earth-shatteringly.

"Ah, Fifth Uncle, what's wrong with you? Hurry up, if you have something to say, we'll help you. When Mo Xiaoyin saw the fifth uncle, she immediately ran over and wanted to help her up.

Xiao Ran and the others had the strength to see, standing behind and looking curiously, they came into contact with Zhu Yuenuan's gaze, and smiled kindly. (To be continued)
