The polished beads were dim, the moon was pale in the west, and the night was about to pass. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

"Chao Fengzhu-" Jie Nan turned the bead in the palm of his hand a few times, "Something is wrong." ”

Ah Zuoniang's face was anxious and flustered, "Otherwise, I'll go back right away and tell them that I don't know anything......"

"I'm afraid that they won't believe you so easily, if they can't find the real thief, they will take you to blame, and you can't tell if your mouth is full of mouths." Torture is not new.

Ah Zuoniang's expression fell, "Then what should I do?" You can't keep quiet, pretend you don't know anything, and hold this bead, right? ”

Jienan still shook his head, "Ah Zuoniang, think about it, who has the opportunity to stuff this bead into the belly of the chicken?" ”

Ah Zuoniang was frightened, where could she think of it.

Jienandao looked at the empty drying field in front of him, "The Prince's Mansion is heavily guarded, and there can only be two kinds of people who can get Chao Fengzhu." One, a guest with a heart. Second, the thief in the house. The guest was afraid of being searched, so he temporarily hid something in the belly of the chicken. Maybe it's the butler who asked you to cook tonight, or the chef who gave you this plate of chicken, or the little butler who picked us up and carried the beads out of the house with this food basket. The little steward was the least likely, for I didn't see anything unusual about him. Did the chef put the chicken in the basket himself? ”

"I don't know, the chef gave me the food basket directly, but I don't think it's possible for the chef and the steward. They are the old men of the prince's mansion, and they are reused by the emperor and the mothers, why do they want to steal the concubine's phoenix beads? "Ah Zuoniang knows more about the personnel in the prince's mansion.

"Since you're so sure, it's only possible to be a guest tonight." Jienan suddenly thought of herself, "Ah Zuoniang, let me say it first, this bead is definitely not stolen by me, I haven't heard of Chao Fengzhu before tonight." ”

"If I didn't believe you, I wouldn't have come to discuss with you, and besides, there is no thief with a two-year-old doll." Ah Zuo Niang did not suspect Jienan.

Jienan laughed, thinking that the role of Shang Huahua is really great.

"Whoever this thief is, when he finds out that you took the beads away, he will come to you. Moreover, the Prince's Mansion may still suspect you, and then come to you for questioning, you will not lie, show your tone, and let them think that you are an accomplice. Jienan's next words are the point, "Ah Zuo Niang, you and Ah Zuo had better leave this place immediately, so as not to be caught in danger." ”

Ah Zuoniang bit her lip, "Why do you want to run away when you have nothing to do with us?" Although Ah Zuo and I are living a good life now, it was very difficult at first, but finally Ah Zuo has grown up and has hope-" Suddenly choked up, wiped his tears with his sleeve, "Is there really no other way?" ”

Jienan kept rubbing the beads and held them abruptly, "If Ah Zuoniang believes me, give me the beads, you go back to sleep first, and talk about it tomorrow morning." ”

"This bead is like a hot potato, just thinking about it in my house makes my heart tremble, it would be best if I could put it there for you." Ah Zuoniang's heart was heavy, but it was good to sleep first, and turned to leave.

Early the next morning, before Ah Zuo Niang got up, Ah Zuo was squeaking under the window, "Mother! Mother! Why are you still sleeping? Miss Shang and Huahua are gone! ”

Ah Zuoniang hurriedly pushed open the window, "What did you say?" ”

Ah Zuo waved a piece of paper in his hand, "She left you a letter." ”

Ah Zuo Niang is illiterate, "You read it quickly." ”

Ah Zuo said, "Ah Zuo Niang, thank you for taking care of me this month, I have finished my business, I will take Huahua home today, you don't need to worry about it anymore." Anyone who asks about last night's incident can say that the contents of the food basket were used as dry food for me, but it is really not good, so they say that they have been deceived by me, thinking that I am your distant relative. In addition, he left a book of basic bow drawings and gave it to Ah Zuo, wishing him a successful entrance examination. In case of danger, you can ask the owner of the Kunpeng bookstore on the dock for help. Qingshan will not change, there will be a period in the future, please burn it after reading this letter-"

Ah Zuoniang snatched the paper, lit the brazier, and burned the letter to ashes.

Ah Zuo looked dumbfounded, "Mother? ”

Ah Zuo Niang's panicked eyes became resolute as soon as she saw her son, exhaled, and smiled, "Ah Zuo, don't ask more, if someone asks about Miss Shang, you will say that she is gone, and we are just distant relatives, we have never met before, and I don't know anything about her at all." And she taught you how to make bows and crossbows, and draw drawings, you must not tell them. ”

Ah Zuo frowned for a while, and finally nodded, "I listen to my mother, but I just want to ask my mother a word." ”

"What?" Ah Zuo Niang is a good mother and is very patient with her son.

"Miss Shang is a good person, isn't she?" The strange letter, the goodbye between Miss Shang and Huahua, and the reminder that the mother seemed to draw a line with Miss Shang, it sounded like Miss Shang had suddenly become a liar.

Ah Zuoniang said firmly, "Of course she is a good person, she is doing this to protect us, and even help us arrange a way out." If we have the opportunity to see her again in the future, we must thank her well. ”

In the afternoon of this day, the chief manager of the prince's mansion really asked Ah Zuo Niang to question, and also asked about the food basket, Ah Zuo Niang replied according to the instructions in the letter of Jienan, and passed the customs safely. That night, Ah Zuoniang was busy and returned home with her son, only to find that the house had been turned upside down, especially in the kitchen.

Ah Zuo was startled, but found that his mother seemed to have expected it, and he was actually quite calm. In the next few days, my mother carefully checked the doors, windows, drawers, cabinets, and other places where they were opened and closed, and there was no sign of anyone breaking in, so she breathed a sigh of relief and told him to prepare for the exam with peace of mind.

Ah Zuo's mother and son were in danger, and life finally returned to normal.

Besides, Jienan left a letter, but she didn't really leave Zhengtian Mansion, but stayed at the inn for three days, and waited until Kun Peng told her that the boat from Linhe Mansion had arrived at the shore before going to Tongbao Yin to pick up things.

Jienan thought that it would take some more weeks, but when the person with the silver number saw the jade plate that Wang Zhi gave her when she recognized her relatives, he immediately handed her a treasure box with mahogany inlaid jade, and arranged a room to serve tea and snacks, so that she could do things slowly.

Jienan naturally knew that these courtesies were all aimed at Wang Zhi and Ji Shuren's face, but he didn't drink tea or eat snacks, opened the box and looked at it, turned around while laughing, and said to Shang Huahua on his back, "Huahua help me take a look, what's in the box?" ”

Shang Huahua crooked her little brain, her eyes looked into the box, and she smiled heartlessly, "Empty, empty." ”

The box was empty.

Jienan reached in and touched it, and immediately knew that there was no room to make a dark grid, it was really an empty box.

She shook her head in amusement.

There was a knock on the door.

She said in good spirits, and let people in directly, "If you send something, what kind of item will your silver number record?" ”

Did she let someone take it later, or did her father play tricks on her from the beginning?
