Seventy-fourth
Aunt Liu couldn't laugh at all, she thought that the girl found out that her things were missing, and she didn't dare to search for the two little maids sent by the house, such as Luo'er and Huan'er, but she really searched, as long as she didn't find anything, the two little girls couldn't be involved in her anyway.
didn't think about it, just one night later, she was given "stolen goods and obtained" and sued Mrs. Tai, how is this different from what she thought before? I can't imagine that this little girl surnamed Zhou looked as docile and well-behaved as a rabbit before, and she still has such a means?
How did she know that at that time, at this time, Cai Wei could endure it before, firstly, because of their previous calculations, most of them were rumors passed on by word of mouth, and there was no real evidence left for her to fight back, and secondly, she had never really touched her bottom line, and thirdly, Cai Wei did not have a strong elder who could rely on before, so it was natural to take Taoguang and obscurity as the upper plan, first endure the anger of this time, and then plan later.
But the jade phoenix that Aunt Liu ordered someone to steal now was left to her by her father, and in her heart, she regarded it as her life, how could she tolerate being stolen. As soon as he found out that he had lost this jade phoenix and couldn't find it, he was suspicious of the two girls of Shen'er and Huan'er, and then asked carefully and heard the little girl in Wu Juan's room say that she had seen her two come out of this house during the day. So he asked the plantain and the loquat to lead her away, and the other to inspect the cage of the two of them, and whatever they saw, they were still in their place first.
When she heard that Basho came back and said that she had checked carefully, and there was no Yufeng in her box, only two more ingots of silver, Cai Wei had a plan in her heart, made a plan, and told everyone, so she asked everyone to go to sleep first, just wait for the next morning to make a fuss about it.
It was also that Aunt Liu was too stingy and refused to give the two girls three taels of silver, although she didn't dare to say anything at the time, she may not have no complaints in her heart, and then Mama Du searched and found the silver in the box, and under some words of intimidation, she confessed Aunt Liu.
As soon as Cai Wei heard that it was Aunt Liu again, she had already made up her mind to take the matter to Mrs. Tai to make a big fuss, firstly, she could not get her Yufeng back, and secondly, she also wanted to give Aunt Liu some punishment, so that she would not be able to calculate her orphan girl again and again. After all, in addition to a lady at this time, she also has a cousin of Concubine Yingchuan as a backer, that is, the concubine doesn't really have to do anything for her, just by virtue of having a relationship with the concubine, she can bluff people, although she doesn't like to bully others, but she is by no means a person who will not take advantage of the situation.
Cai Wei stepped forward and said, "Although this is the third time I've heard these two girls say this, I still can't believe it. I asked myself that since I arrived in this house, I was careful everywhere, always caring, respecting the elders, and respecting the sisters, even if I had a few quarrels with Sister Fei, that was just a common situation between sisters. I really don't know where I offended my aunt and let these two girls steal my things. I don't know what my aunt wants in my room, and what is the use of taking it? If it's something on the side, it doesn't hurt to give it to my aunt. It's just that this jade phoenix was carved to me by my father himself, different things, and please return it to the original owner! ”
The second aunt said on the side: "How can it be so simple to let her return the things, who knows what bad ideas she has hidden behind her tricks?" Liu, what kind of treasure did you like Wei Yatou, and what bad things did you want to do when you stole it, don't tell them one by one! ”
Mrs. Tai was only angry before, and she didn't have time to think about it, but now she settled down and thought about it, this Aunt Liu asked her to steal what Cai Wei valued very much, could it be that important thing, right? If she really has some bad intentions, it's really her heart to be punished!
Although Mrs. Tai became more and more angry in her heart, she thought that although the disaster was done by this Aunt Liu, she also wanted the people in this mansion in the end, if she really shook out her harmful thing, she would inevitably be talked about in the bottom house, and she would have a reputation as a bully and calculating orphan girl. Then he said: "The top priority is to let her return the jade phoenix to Wei Yatou first, you see what this child is in a hurry!" ”
Then he turned his head to Aunt Liu and said, "Don't you tell me where you hid that jade phoenix?" ”
When she saw that Aunt Liu was still there, she snorted coldly, "Mama Wang, take a few people to Aunt Liu's room and move all her boxes and boxes for me, I don't believe that I can't find it!" ”
When Aunt Liu heard this, she couldn't deny it anymore, and hurriedly said: "I said, I said, because I only got it last night, I hid it in the three-layer mattress under the pillow." "Her cages contain the private things that have been easily saved over the years, as well as the shop and property that the fourth master has placed in her name, but she doesn't dare to be easily checked by the old lady.
Mrs. Tai hurriedly ordered Cuiyun and Xiangcheng to fetch them, and said: "Liu, you have made such a big mistake, you can be regarded as half a master, and you actually stole the things of your relatives!" If you are not severely punished, how can you serve as a police officer! Just get rid of your monthly money for a year, and you can live in that little Buddha hall and be your cousin's company! ”
Aunt Liu was suddenly anxious, although she was a little painful after being dismissed for a year, it was okay, after all, she had not lost her private money in the past two years, but if she was imprisoned in the small Buddha hall, and let her compete with Aunt He, it would only take a month or two for the fourth master to leave her behind, let alone think of interceding with Mrs. Tai for her, then she didn't know when she would be released! If she has been locked up inside, how can she think of helping her son take back the throne?
So he hurriedly cried and shouted: "The slave knows that he is wrong, and he begs the old lady to spare the slave this time, right?" As long as you don't send the slave to that small Buddha hall, no matter how you punish the slave, the slave is willing! Seeing that Sister Fei is about to go out, her mother can't be without her side when the time comes, old lady, please, old lady! ”
Seeing that Mrs. Tai didn't even look at her, she turned her head and begged Caiwei, "Cousin, I know that you have the best heart, the most tolerant and generous, it is my lard that blinds your heart, and you dare to think about the girl's things, and beg the girl to help me intercede with the old lady for the sake of me returning it, I must remember the girl's love in the future, and I don't dare to think about the girl's things anymore, and I beg the girl to save my life!" ”
Cai Wei was about to speak, when she saw Su Yun and Xiangcheng walking in, and when she saw Xiangcheng's face, her heart sank.
I listened to Su Yun said: "Back to the old lady, we went to Aunt Liu's room, and according to what she said, we uncovered all the quilts and mattresses on her bed, and searched for them several times inside and out, but we didn't see the jade phoenix of the cousin." ”
Cai Wei suddenly felt that her heart was falling straight down, and she couldn't say a word in a panic.
Zhao Mingxiang hurriedly spat on Aunt Liu's face and said, "Are you still embarrassed to intercede with Wei Yatou?" Are you returning someone's stuff? I don't see a word of truth in your mouth, and you dare to lie and deceive the old lady here, I'm afraid that I don't know where to throw the jade phoenix given by my father! ”
When Aunt Liu heard that the jade phoenix was gone, she suddenly became anxious, "Old lady, cousin, the slave really didn't lie, the jade phoenix was indeed put there by the slave himself, and the slave really didn't lie to you!" ”
Cai Wei reluctantly settled her mind, went to look at Aunt Liu's expression, and saw that the look of fear and anxiety on her face did not seem to be fake, and then asked Mama Du with her eyes, and saw that she also shook her head, and knew that Mama Du also felt that this Liu family was not panicking.
After all, this Aunt Liu is not a person who harms others and is not good, and she will never put herself in in advance in order to spoil her own relatives, not to mention that she dares to be so sure that the token of her marriage is really the jade phoenix? Could it be that this jade phoenix was seen by someone in her room and taken it easily?
Then he said: "Old lady, maybe Aunt Liu really put the jade phoenix there, but I don't know who took it away, and I don't know, since someone came to steal my jade phoenix, naturally I can't guarantee that the jade phoenix that was taken away by my aunt was stolen by someone." ”
Mrs. Tai was noncommittal when she heard this, and only said, "Wei girl, you just have to rest assured, your grandmother will definitely find your jade phoenix for you!" Mama Wang, it seems that you still have to take a few people to the Liu family's room to search, and even the maids in her room have to be checked together, I don't believe it, can she still hide this jade phoenix underground? If you can't find it, you don't have to go to the small Buddha hall in the house, just go back to your hometown and go to the family temple to recite the scriptures to the ancestors! This last sentence was said to Aunt Liu.
This time, Aunt Liu didn't care about worrying about whether the old grandmothers who inspected her cage would take the sheep and take some things away from her, but she was looking forward to finding the jade phoenix in her heart! For a while, I was looking forward to the fourth master getting the letter and coming to save her quickly, and I was afraid that even if the fourth master still had this heart, he would be deliberately stumped by Aunt He.
Half an hour passed, Mama Wang and the others still came back empty-handed, Mrs. Tai was so angry that she wanted to order someone to drag Aunt Liu out and kneel for a few hours, but she didn't expect that the fourth master suddenly ran in with a pale face.
Aunt Liu suddenly felt that the four masters were like the gods in the world, and she was feeling that she was in a desperate situation, and she didn't want the four masters to rush in, she didn't even look at her, and just said to Mrs. Tai: "Mother, it's not good, it's not good, Brother Ammonium, he let people beat him!" ”
