Early the next morning, when the door was opened, Gu Yun's guards set off to the address mentioned in the confession and found the old woman by the way. γLatest Chapter Readingγ
The old man had a short sleep, and when the guards arrived, the old woman was also opening the courtyard door and coming out to sweep the floor, when she saw a group of unidentified young men on horseback, she was about to scream, and immediately shut up.
The leader of the squad didn't have time to dismount, so he leaned down directly, and there was a small silver ingot in his palm.
The old woman quickly changed her face, accepted the money with a smile on her face, turned around and opened the courtyard gate, and the guards dismounted and went in one after another, and re-latched the courtyard gate.
Then the two of them stayed in the courtyard to watch over the old woman, and the rest of the people went straight to the east chamber with a clear goal.
The old woman listened to the sound of rummaging things in the house, clenched the cash in her hand, and thought in her heart that it was probably the time when the owner came to the door, but she was not overly worried, she was just a temporary rental house for people to enjoy and earn some money, as for the men and women where they came from, she never asked, even if she was responsible, she was not in the first place.
The guards in the house first found a cabinet of recreational medicines and toys, and then someone found the hairpin in the crack in the wall of the bedside that Mengmei confessed, exactly like what she described.
All the important evidence was found, confirming that what Mengmei and the two said was true, and the guards tore off the sheets on the bed and packed all the items in the cabinet and took them away.
The old woman waited for them to leave, went into the house and checked again, and when she saw the empty cabinet, she was so angry that she scolded angrily, and wanted to make up for the medicines and toys that were very expensive, and the small silver ingots she had just obtained in her hand were not even enough to buy medicine.
The guards rushed back to the Yeguo Mansion before breakfast with the evidence, so they didn't alarm many people.
After breakfast, the girls waited for the prince to go out to meet friends, and Bai Ko took the opportunity to go to the stable to ask for a car, and on the way back, he turned to the guard and retrieved all the evidence.
After sending the prince out, Bai Ko carried the hairpin in his arms and walked around the house to check everywhere on routine business.
It's normal in the east kitchen, the handymen are working, the cooks and the ladies are not there, and it's normal to be lazy for the New Year.
After Bai Ko finished checking here, he walked to the other end of the third room, and only when he entered Gu Jing's small courtyard, he saw a group of maids and servants in the courtyard watching gossip.
Surrounded in the middle were Gu Jing's two Tongfang and Mengmei, and Mengmei's hairpin was still found missing.
"Mengmei, you are so bold, you dare to lose the hairpin rewarded by the second master."
"If you lose the reward of the second master casually, is there still a second master in your eyes?"
"The face is really thick-skinned, even a mere cook dares to be disrespectful to the second master, you also saw the expression of the second master just now, if he loses patience with you, he will replace you with just a word."
"I didn't lose the hairpin, I'll get it back, I'll definitely get it back." No matter what the two Tongfang said, Mengmei just recited these few words.
"You're going to look for it! Go find it! What if I can't find it to come back and see you! β
"I think it just fell outside, didn't I go out the day before yesterday, there were many thieves on the street, and the second master rewarded good things, and she knew a p when she was pulled by someone."
"Could it be that the way to get it back is to secretly go to the silver building to re-customize one, I can't see that I have saved a lot of private houses."
"It's a pity that it takes a lot of time to customize, I definitely didn't expect us to find out so quickly, right?"
"A cheap maid is a cheap maid, I can't look at the things that the master rewards, what's the use of keeping you, hurry up and get out, it looks an eyesore."
Bai Ko stood silently at the back of the crowd and listened, these people's attitude towards Mengmei was exactly what she wanted, and it was more logical to turn back to Shizi and Jing Erye to please people.
"What's the noise? Open the door to let people see you arguing? Bai Ko sneered.
The servants and girls were frightened, turned around one after another, and when they saw that it was Bai Ko, they immediately changed their faces to smiles.
"Oh, it's a white housekeeper, it's really rare, is there something going on?"
"I'm looking for Mengmei."
"Mengmei? In in, in, in! Mengmei, come here, the white steward called you! β
Mengmei stumbled in front of Bai Ko under the push of everyone.
"Butler, what's the matter with me?"
Bai Ko slowly and methodically took out the hairpin from his arms.
"It's yours, right? I dropped it under the table in my hall and picked it up when I was sweeping the floor, and I asked people around and said no, only to remember that you had entered my house the day before yesterday. β
When Mengmei saw the hairpin, she immediately took it with both hands excitedly.
"Yes, yes, it's mine! I said it must have fallen somewhere, thank you, white steward! β
"Fall in my house is considered your luck, remember to put it away, there are many people on the street, don't wear this kind of good thing to the street, it's really stealing, even if you spend a lot of money to customize, you can't make it exactly the same."
"I remember, I remember, I don't wear it out, I don't wear it out!"
"Okay, I'm relieved that the things are back to their original owners, and I'm leaving."
"I'll send the white steward, and the white steward will go slowly."
Mengmei hurriedly chased after Bai Ko, and when the hairpin came back, it meant that she had found the house where she had stayed that day, confirming that her words were true, and Wen Gushan was going to be finished.
The two of them stood in the alleyway at the discharge door, Mengmei really gave Bai Ko a short distance, and in the time of these few steps, Bai Ko took the opportunity to ask her a question.
"Looks like you're not having a good time."
"It's okay, I can handle it."
"But those two roommates seem hell-bent on driving you away?"
"They're jealous."
"What about yourself? Do you want a change of scenery? β
"Where else can I go? I can only survive if I work hard to get married to the second master. β
"You can't hide this for too long, after all, you have to have a way out."
"What else is there to retreat?"
"The prince is short of manpower now."
"Shizi?! Is he willing to want me? β
"The construction of the new factory will start after the year, and you want someone to cook rice, are you willing to burn the big stove? The monthly case is 1,500 texts. And this tune will not come back, and when the workshop is built and put into production, continue to stay there to do things, and with your cooking skills, you will be specially responsible for burning small stoves for the deacons and stewards at that time, with a monthly case of 3,000 yuan. Do you want to do it? β
Mengmei's eyes lit up, and she suddenly felt that there was hope for her gloomy life, and she didn't want to nod desperately, "!" I'll do it! β
"Then if you hold on for a few more days, the prince will go to ask Second Master Jing for your deed, before that, you should be careful not to behave strangely, and finish the play in the last few days, from beginning to end."
"I know, I won't let them find out." Mengmei twisted the corners of her clothes, remembering the past, her expression was extremely embarrassed, "Thank you for helping me so much, I will definitely do a good job over there, and I won't embarrass you again." β
"Looking for death by yourself and being bullied by others are two different things, since they are all girls waiting for their masters, they should be united, why should women be embarrassed by women, I have always adhered to this point of view."
Mengmei sniffed hard, her lips pursed, but the corners of her lips were hooked, she bowed to Bai Ko, and trotted back.
