Nobuko took a few roses into the princess's room.

The princess said that the roses placed indoors are good for sleep, and it is good to look at the mood.

She found a vase and filled it with water, carefully inserted the roses, and felt that every angle looked good, before leaving the room.

As she passed the princess's dresser, her eyes swept over the jewelry box on the table, and she suddenly stopped.

When did the princess have such a good-looking golden hairpin?

Glittering with gold, it looks extravagant.

She was allowed to enter the princess's room, but she never could clean up the princess's jewelry, she was just a third-class maid, and being able to enter the princess's room was already the envy of other little maids.

The princess and Sister Qingmei went to Qingqiu Garden to see the princess, she just took a look, it should be fine, right?

I couldn't help but walk over and gently touch the surface of the golden hairpin, even the carving on it is extremely fine, and it looks like the real thing.

She picked it up and looked at it, and sighed in her heart that this golden hairpin was so beautiful, and they should not be able to afford to wear it for the rest of their lives.

"What are you doing?"

Suddenly there was a loud shout at the door.

Nobuko was startled, and Jin Hai fell to the ground.

She looked back and saw Sister Qingmei's suspicious gaze, and a panic surged in her heart, only to know what she was doing, she squatted down to pick up the golden hairpin, and explained indiscriminately: "Sister Qingmei, I'm just looking, absolutely nothing else......"

Qingmei calmly went over and took the golden hairpin to examine it carefully, and saw that there were slight scratches on it, she looked at Xinzi's gaze and was a little cold: "Xinzi, this is the birthday gift that the princess asked people to give to the queen mother, the princess has lost a painting, thinking that making up for it with the golden hairpin can be regarded as wishing the queen mother happiness like the East China Sea, how do you know that there are still people who attack the golden hairpin, Xinzi, you disappointed me too much." ”

Nobuko's face turned white with fright, and she subconsciously knelt down and begged for mercy: "Sister Qingmei, I didn't want to steal the princess's things, I just wanted to see ......"

"Nobuko, you still don't admit it! You can be considered to be hiding deeply, the princess tortured it, and the Ye guards also asked, and you actually calmed down, now let me arrest you on the spot, what else do you have to say! ”

Nobuko was like a catastrophe, her forehead was swollen, and her voice was choked: "Sister Qingmei, you know me, I will do everything you explain seriously, and I never dare to make a mistake, I am afraid that my father and mother will worry...... Sister Qingmei, how could I steal the princess's things, please don't sue the princess, I really don't have ......"

"That's why I'm sad, Nobuko, the princess treats you well, seeing that you are still young, I usually try to take care of you, how do you know that you are such a wolf-hearted dog! You said, where did you hide the portrait you stole from the princess last time, if you hand over the portrait, the princess may let you live! ”

Nobuko no longer knows how to speak: "I don't have ......"

"You are not repentant at this time! How do you let me help you! Qingmei was furious.

Xinzi's intestines are all repentant, just arrange flowers well, knowing that something like that happened in the palace house, why would she touch the princess's things! How could the princess's things be touched?

But it's useless to regret it, now it's really indefensible!

"What's going on?" Su Yingtong entered the door and saw the two people pulling inside, Qingmei was holding her golden hairpin in her hand, and Xinzi was kneeling beside her and begging for mercy...... She guessed a few points, too.

And the heart sank.

She guessed that the person who stole the painting always moved, but she didn't think that the person was Nobuko.

She was such a good girl, but she didn't know that she was also blinded by lard and could do such a thing.

"Princess, the slave saw with her own eyes that Xinzi wanted to take the princess's golden hairpin, and the last painting was probably taken by this girl, but she still didn't admit it!"

Xinzi shook her head in despair, she climbed to Su Yingtong's feet and pulled the corner of Su Yingtong's skirt: "Princess Mingjian, the slave maid just wants to see, and she has no intention of taking it for herself, and if you give the slave and maid three hundred guts, the slave and maid can't do such a thing......"

Su Yingtong said coldly: "Xinzi, you have a good explanation now, why did you steal the painting, where did the painting go, I may be able to punish you lightly at my discretion, and then it will consume my patience to quibble like this, and I will not be so easy to speak." ”

Nobuko no longer knows how to speak, and her mind is in a state of stagnation: "The princess's paintings, the palace's paintings......"

Seeing that Xinzi still didn't say anything, Su Yingtong turned around: "Qingmei, go and call Manager Lin." ”

Nobuko was so frightened that she lost her soul: "Nobuko is wronged, princess!" ”

Ome came out of the room.

There were already a lot of maids and wives gathered outside, and when they saw Qingmei coming out, they hurriedly whispered, "Sister Qingmei, what's going on inside?" ”

Qingmei said a few words briefly, and said: "I'll call Mr. Lin now, it is estimated that the princess will not be able to leave any more letters, let me meet it with my own eyes and even dare to admit it, even the princess dared to start the birthday gift prepared for the queen mother, it is really unancient!" ”

Everyone sighed.

Qingmei walked out of the main courtyard quickly.

Only then did they discuss in a low voice: "I didn't expect it to be Xinzi!" ”

Xing'er couldn't believe it: "Nobuko has been following me to do things, I can't see it at all!" ”

Ning Er's eyes flickered a few times, and then said: "Usually Xinzi is also an honest person, but it is also surprising that he dares to steal the princess's things." ”

A few mothers-in-law also felt that they had deceived Xinzi, who usually looked very enthusiastic and diligent girls, willing to do any work, and not too tired, but they didn't expect their hearts to be so unbearable, "So, I don't know my heart!" The tone is very regrettable.

Not a single person questioned the execution of the princess.

Ning Er looked at them with a little anger in pity, and several people also claimed that they were almost deceived by Xinzi's apparent honesty...... She echoed a few words, turned her head to look into the room, and could faintly hear Xinzi's cry begging for mercy, listening to the heart-rending despair.

A trace of guilt crossed her heart, and it quickly calmed down again.

Originally, I was worried about how to pass this level, the princess disappeared and something would definitely be traced, but now there is no result because the princess is not in the palace and the princess is busy, if the prince returns to the house, let the prince find out again...... She really didn't dare to think about it.

But she has never regretted it, since she helped Aunt An, Aunt An really kept her promise to reduce the land rent for Brother Cao's family, and also compensated Brother Cao with money, and the thirty taels she gave her could also help Brother Cao a lot.

In the past two years, if you are more diligent, when the signed contract expires, Brother Cao will be able to buy a few acres of thin fields on the outskirts of the city, and if you have your own field, you don't have to look at the face of the head of the household, and if you hire a few helpers, your life will gradually get better.

Waiting for Aunt An to help her redeem the deed of sale, she is also free, and Brother Cao said that he would wait for her.

They will get better and better in the future.

She realized that she was really stupid before, but fortunately she knew that she could seize the opportunity given by Aunt An to make money so quickly. (To be continued.) )
