Chapter 317 Theft
The people of Rui'an Academy here are discussing at this time, and they can't believe that Manru, who looks silly and simple, will throw things, and steal important things from the eldest young master's study, which is really incomprehensible.
"Sister Manju, you have to believe me, I really didn't steal it, and I don't know when I lost the pearl flower, where it was lost when I went to the young master's study." Manru said crying.
"Manju, it doesn't look like this kid is lying." The little red lady in the small kitchen, Chef Liu said helpfully. After she finished speaking, several mothers-in-law who were familiar with Manru on weekdays also said in a helpful voice.
"I believe it too, but now that the beads of the vine chrysanthemum have fallen there, she can't tell even if she has a hundred mouths, let alone me. Although the eldest young master is cold to us on weekdays, he is never harsh, so I believe that he will let Ah Cai handle it impartially. Manju pondered for a moment, then said.
"I hope so......" "Oh, poor Manru has such a thing, but it's not easy to solve......"
Just when everyone was talking about it, they saw Ah Cai coming, and they all quickly stopped, and for a while, the Rui'an Courtyard was quiet.
Don't look at Ah Cai's dogleg in front of Zhou Xu'an, but after all, he is one of the most powerful subordinates in Rui'an Academy. Because there is still the lord of Zhou Baida, Zhou Xu'an has not yet become the lord of the Zhou Mansion, so Ah Cai has no way to become the manager of Rui'an Academy. But in summary, even the steward of the Zhou Mansion should be polite to Shang Acai, not to mention the subordinates in Rui'an Academy.
However, Ah Cai doesn't look like he's in charge, and he is very kind, but the mother-in-law and maids in Rui'an Courtyard still respect Ah Cai very much. As soon as I saw him coming, I knew that he was here to solve Manru's matter, so I listened to what he said quietly.
"Ah Cai." Manju walked over to Ah Cai and said, "Please be sure to help Manru, we believe that she is innocent." ”
"I don't think she did it, and if the eldest young master thinks that she did it, he won't let me come over to check it anymore, and just let me sell her." Ah Cai said, but he couldn't fully believe it in his heart, after all, he who knew the face but didn't know the heart, in case the vine was bought. Therefore, it is better to investigate in detail, so that we can explain to the young master, and only then can we stop this kind of thing in Rui'an Academy.
Hearing Ah Cai say this, everyone was also relieved, fortunately, their eldest young master is a sensible person, otherwise if it is the kind of master who convicts without asking, he will not be unjustly killed.
Ah Cai saw that everyone was looking at him eagerly, and he also knew that this Rui'an Courtyard was also the only one that was more harmonious among the courtyards of the Zhou Mansion. Therefore, the subordinates who are on an errand here have feelings for a long time, and naturally they don't want to have anything to do.
So Ah Cai said to Manru: "Don't cry, if there is anything, tell me in detail, it's not your fault, I found out, and I will show the young master that it has nothing to do with you." ”
"Well, thank you, Brother Cai......" Manru stopped crying and began to say intermittently. Don't look at her big and three thick, but she is a timid and scared person, so this time this happened, she was really scared and her soul was about to fall. I am afraid that I will be wronged and sell the Zhou Mansion, and I am afraid that I will be tired and my father and brother in Zhuangzi will be sad, and I am afraid that I will never be able to live this comfortable life in the future.
So what I said here is also a little inconsistent: "The pearl flower I picked up in the young master's study is mine, and it is not mine, but I have always kept it in my small box before, and I don't know why I got there." I seem to have seen it a few days ago, but I don't know when it fell. ”
"It's been more than two months since the things in the young master's study were dropped, and you said that you saw it a few days ago, isn't it a little strange?" Ah Cai only felt that there was something wrong with this manru's speech, so he asked, but he was a little suspicious in his heart, is there really something wrong with this manru?
"I don't know anymore, it seems that I lost it once before and found it, and I lost it again now." Manru also felt that she was a little unclear, and the tears in her hurried tone fell again.
"Alright, don't talk yet." Manju couldn't stand it anymore, so he said out loud: "Manru, why don't I remember that you went to buy such a bead flower, don't you love to tell me everything you buy?" ”
"I, I'm ......" Manru hesitated.
"What am I, say it quickly, we are also for your own good, don't hide anything, otherwise you will be the one who suffers." Manju said anxiously when she heard this.
"yes, there's something you want to talk about in detail." Ah Cai also said.
"However, Sister Liuhua won't let me say it." Manru said in a low voice, but was still heard by the vine with the tip of the ear. When she heard the name of Liuhua, she was already a little angry, and said: "Don't let you say anything about Liuhua, you will be condemned now, what else can't you say." ”
"That...... That bead flower was actually given to me by Sister Liuhua, she had worn it before, and she gave it to me when she saw that I liked it. Manru said.
"Liuhua ......" Ah Cai's heart moved when he heard it, Liuhua had occasionally asked him twice about the young master's affairs, but he didn't pay attention to it, but he didn't expect it...... Could it be that this stream painting is problematic or not?
So he said to Xiaohong: "Xiaohong, you go to Yimengju and call Liuhua over." ”
"Huh? Tell me to go, that Liuhua has a bad temper, I don't like her. Xiaohong pouted.
"It's a lot of nonsense for you to go." When Xiaohong's mother Liu Chuniang heard this, she gently twisted her and said, "Don't go quickly." ”
"Oops, got it." Xiaohong hurriedly said and ran away.
And Manju was already angry when he heard Manru say that the bead flower was sent by a flow painting. So he stretched out his hand and nodded Manru's forehead and said, "Why do you say that you are so disobedient, what did I say to you before, don't deal with that stream painting anymore, why don't you listen." Let's see what's going on now. ”
"This has nothing to do with Sister Liuhua." Manru whispered, angry again.
Manju suddenly didn't want to talk anymore, this Manru was really well-developed and dizzy, and she couldn't communicate with her. They were all sold and helped count the money. Don't say that this stream painting is kind enough to see the vine and like it to give her bead flowers, who believes it if it's not greasy.
"Okay, you two don't say more, wait for the stream painting to come and ask for clarification." Seeing this, Ah Cai hurriedly said, and the two stopped talking. (To be continued.) )
