Chapter Forty-Eight: Soujia
In the hall, everyone was silent and did not dare to speak. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info
Old Lady Ning's face was as cold as ice, which made people feel frightened when she saw it, she never thought that someone would dare to steal things from her yard, and it was the Ning family's treasures that she stole from.
This kind of behavior is not only bold, it is simply arrogant, and it is unsightly.
Aunt Li and the second wife stood on the side with their hands down, waiting with bated breath to listen to Mrs. Ning's instructions, while Ning Jinhua and Ning Jinyun stood obediently in front of the screen, not daring to look more, let alone say more. Only Ning Jinrao still looked at Mrs. Ning without knowing what to do, with a curious look on her face, and a feeling of watching the excitement.
"Now, the glow-in-the-dark cups have been lost, and it's my responsibility that I failed to keep the glow-in-the-dark cups and had them stolen from under my nose, and I was incompetent." Old Lady Ning sighed.
Hearing this, most of the people in the room were a little surprised. Everyone thought that the old lady would be furious, and they were ready to be frightened, but they never thought that she not only did not get angry, but blamed herself.
Aunt Li reacted quickly and hurriedly comforted, "Mother, how can I blame you for this?" If you want to blame the thief who killed that day, he even dared to steal the luminous cup, this is too brazen, he must be caught and sent to the government to be punished! ”
Old Mrs. Ning nodded, "Catch, of course we have to catch, we not only have to find the luminous cup, but we can't spare that thief." ”
Just now, although Mrs. Ning said two heart-wrenching words, it didn't mean that she really blamed herself, she just said it to everyone. And she also knew that now she didn't find the lost luminous cup, and she couldn't find the thief who stole things, even if she lost her temper, it wouldn't be half useful.
Besides, if she says a few words of self-reproach now, then when she orders the search family, no one will be embarrassed to question it anymore.
Aunt Li looked suspicious and asked in a low voice, "Mother, have you figured out how to find this thief?" ”
"It's not that hard." Old Lady Ning suppressed her anger and said methodically: "I have always locked the luminous cups in a place that others don't know, but I have only taken them out in the past few days, let Yuhuan scrub them carefully, and then temporarily put them on the cabinet table in my house. The person who was able to steal the luminous cup in just a few days must have known that there was a pair of luminous cups in my house, so the thief must have come from our house. ”
"I also saw the luminous cup before going to bed last night, but it disappeared this morning, it can be seen that the thief took advantage of the night to do a bad thing, it is still early, presumably the thief is too late to transport the luminous cup out, the luminous cup must still be in Ningfu!" Old Lady Ning said categorically.
Aunt Li thought thoughtfully, "In this way, you want to search the entire Ning Mansion to find out the thieves and the luminous cup." ”
Before she came to Qixiang Hospital, she had heard that the old lady was going to search her home, and she already had a sense of proportion.
It's just that it's too hard to search for a house, and it will find something more private or even invisible, so this search will definitely make people in the house panic.
Old Lady Ning's tone was very firm, almost undoubted, "You are right, you want to search the house, and you need to search every yard carefully." After you came to me, I have sent men to watch and guard the courtyards so that no one will try to flee when they hear the news. ”
Aunt Li and the second wife couldn't help but be stunned after hearing this, it turned out that the old lady still had an extra hand, and after everyone came to Qixiang Courtyard, they had already blocked the Ning Mansion, and at the same time sealed every courtyard, so that even if someone was a thief, it would be too late to do too much.
In this regard, Ning Jinyun was not surprised, after all, grandmother was a cautious person, and the luminous cup was so important, of course, there was no room for carelessness. I think the reason why my grandmother released the news of the search in advance should be to prepare everyone psychologically, and I don't want the people in the house to be too caught off guard.
Before coming to Qixiang Courtyard, Ning Jinyun had already arranged the affairs of the Red Peony Courtyard, and she asked her subordinates to put the things they cared about the most or didn't want to be searched for the most into a locked box, wrote their names on it, and then put them in the warehouse.
The small warehouse of the Red Peony Courtyard was used by Ning Jinyun privately, and it was filled with valuable items that she did not use often, and the people who wanted to come to her grandmother to search the house did not dare to come to search this warehouse.
Ning Jinyun knew that the people in her yard had nothing to do with the theft of the luminous cup, she just didn't want the search family to add trouble to the Red Peony Courtyard, if any maid and wife were searched for something that shouldn't be there, it would cause her a lot of trouble no matter what she said. Especially at this juncture, the cleaner the red peony courtyard, the better.
"Grandmother, did you throw away the glow-in-the-dark cup last night?"
At this time, Ning Jinrao suddenly took two steps forward and asked.
Hearing this, Aunt Li frowned, not knowing what stupidity her daughter was doing, and Ning Jinhua next to her glanced at her sister in confusion, unable to guess what her sister wanted to do.
Old Lady Ning replied impatiently, "I lost it last night, didn't I just say it, why do you ask this." ”
Ning Jinrao's mind flashed with inspiration, thinking of what happened last night, when she was sitting and talking with her cousin Li Yuanjing, but suddenly someone passed by, and at the same time, there was the sound of stones hitting the railing, she felt that this might be the thief who was about to run back in a hurry after stealing something.
She said to her grandmother excitedly, "I remember, I saw a very suspicious person last night, that person was sneaky, and when I asked him who he was, he didn't answer silently, maybe that person was the thief with the luminous cup." ”
"Really?" Old Mrs. Ning's eyes lit up, and she immediately asked, "Rao'er, tell your grandmother quickly, what does that person look like, have you seen him before, and do you know which courtyard he is from?" ”
Aunt Li was also a little happy, but she didn't expect that her daughter would finally stop causing trouble, but be able to do something serious.
Ning Jinrao was asked, it was dark at night, she couldn't see anything, she couldn't even figure out whether that person was a man or a woman, and it was impossible to answer her grandmother's questions.
Under the expectant gaze of Mrs. Ning, Aunt Li, Second Mrs. and Ning Jinhua, Ning Jinrao snorted, very embarrassed, "Back to grandmother, Rao'er doesn't know." I didn't see the man, I just heard the man's voice, and I don't know who he was or what he looked like. ”
