Chapter 148: Dealing with the Restless Concubine (18)
"Grandma, what's wrong?" Jiang Muxue temporarily asked the housekeepers to wait aside and said to Mama Jiang. lWxS520.coM
"The old slave has something unclear about, and wants to come and ask Madame."
Seeing that she was rude, Hongying was about to scold, but was stopped by Jiang Muxue, "Mama, please speak." ”
"The old slave heard that you want to check the dowry list of Mrs. Xian (referring to the Qiu family), and you want to check the accounts with the real thing?" Because of her emotional excitement, Mama Jiang's voice was a little harsh.
The aunt and housekeeper in the house were also surprised when they heard this, generally speaking, in order to show their innocence and selflessness, the step-wife would stay away from the property left by the first wife, why did this lady not avoid suspicion but rushed up?
No wonder Mama Jiang was so excited, and she didn't know that she thought that Mrs. step-Madam was going to preempt Mrs. Jiang's things.
"It is true. Since I took over the Hou Mansion, I must have some understanding of all the things in the house, my sister has been gone for more than a year, and I heard that her dowry and other things have never been checked, which is very inappropriate. ”
"If you don't check it clearly now, if there is one less in the future, two pieces...... It's impossible to tell whose responsibility it will be when the time comes! ”
Mama Jiang didn't believe that this woman would be so kind, her young lady was born in a famous family in the capital, and the dowry was all good things, and some of them were even worth a fortune!
This dirt bun step-room has just taken over the power of the family, and he dares to blatantly fight the idea of those things!
Hum! I am desperate to die here, and I can't let her get involved!
"This Mrs. and rest assured, after Mrs. First left, the old lady once sent someone to check the list of physical objects carefully, and all of them were correct. After that, the old lady specially ordered someone to take care of those things, saying that in the future, these would be Brother Fu and Sister Xi'er. ”
"Oh, all right?" Jiang Muxue asked seriously, pretending not to understand the meaning of her words.
"Yes, all right!" Mama Jiang replied categorically.
Aunt Wang shook her head secretly, how dare this Mama Jiang be so rude, and say that these things will be Brother Fu and Sister Xi in the future, who said no!
This is said as if the lady wants to rob it!
"Among the people who take care of those things, is there anything that Mama personally arranged? Do you conduct regular spot checks? ”
"Of course! Those people are all old people who were reused by the first lady when she was alive, and the old slaves often let them check them regularly, please rest assured that Mrs. ”
"Oh, that's good, okay, since Mama is so sure, Mrs. Ben won't check it."
After Jiang Muxue finished speaking, Mama Jiang saluted a little and walked out proudly.
Aunts and mothers-in-law, you look at me, I look at you, and I don't dare to come out.
But Jiang Muxue was not as annoyed as they imagined, only heard her mutter, "Cover it so tightly, as if others want to rob it, and you look down on people too much." ”
"Madame, don't be angry! Don't be like that stupid old woman. Aunt Wang smiled and comforted.
"When Mrs. First was alive, I didn't like her very much, and everyone only respected her because she was Mrs. First's nurse." Aunt Zhang was also busy talking.
Jiang Muxue waved her hand, "It's okay, if you don't let you investigate, you won't investigate!" There is Mama Jiang to take care of it horizontally and vertically, so I don't think anything will go wrong. ”
Seeing that Jiang Muxue was not angry, everyone hurriedly smiled and unveiled it.
It's just that no one expected that within a few days of this incident, there would be thieves in the house.
The thief ran impartially, and he happened to be caught by Mrs. Lu.
That evening, there was a rain, after the rain the outside air was very refreshing, Mrs. Lu took Jiang Muxue, Lu Qianrou and a large group of maids and women to visit the garden, and the three of them talked and laughed.
Of course, Lu Qianrou's cynicism towards Jiang Muxue is indispensable, as well as asking for care from Mrs. Lu in front of everyone.
That form is not as good as even Lu Hexi, Jiang Muxue knows her thoughts, and she doesn't care about her, and she covers the past smoothly every time.
Originally, Mrs. Lu was in a good mood, but after many times, she was gradually speechless by this stupid girl, and reflected all the way, how did she raise such a fool?
was walking unhappily, suddenly a little girl panicked, holding something in her arms, hiding behind the rockery, it seems, she thought there was no one else.
As soon as the clinker came out, I saw Mrs. Lu and her party walking towards the rockery from a distance, and they were dumbfounded.
The crowd had already seen her, and it was too late for her to escape.
After some severe interrogation by Mrs. Lu, everyone found out that the blue and white porcelain vase she was holding in her arms turned out to be Qiu's dowry.
Mrs. Lu suddenly became angry, and she was not in the mood to walk around the garden, so she took people directly to Songhe Courtyard.
I don't know if I don't check it, I was shocked when I checked it, Qiu's dowry alone has several kinds of porcelain, and they are all small in size, but they are worth the most valuable things.
So, Mrs. Lu called all the people who took care of Qiu's dowry, and of course there was no shortage of Mama Jiang.
Hearing this, Mama Jiang was dumbfounded.
She really didn't expect that these people would be so bold and dare to steal their young lady's things, these people turned out to be following the young lady and getting the favor of the young lady, how long has the young lady been gone?
Has the conscience been eaten by dogs?
Under closer inspection, this is a criminal gang, and under the joint confession of several maids, they started stealing about two months ago. The reason is that they look at the new lady who is soft and kind to talk, and there is no deterrent, even Mama Jiang dares not to take her in her eyes.
So, they are getting bolder and bolder.
As soon as a few people said this, the most angry was naturally Mrs. Lu, the person I chose, you don't let it go!
Who are you?
At first, Mrs. Lu still felt that this matter was embarrassing, and she didn't plan to publicize it!
But now she doesn't think like that, such a damn house slave deserves to be killed!
So, Mrs. Lu immediately decided to send all these people to the official office and punish them for theft.
They were originally slaves, so the legal punishment was even more severe for them, and two leaders were directly executed, and the others were sent to the frontier to be enslaved forever.
This incident caused quite a stir in the Anding Marquis Mansion, no matter the blue sky or the dark night, no matter who did things, they were all careful.
On the night of the incident, Mama Jiang didn't sleep all night.
Because of the unknown, so fear.
At this moment, she is no longer loyal to her young lady and what to do with the Song family, but is worried about her future and her family.
She died alone, but she had sons and daughters, grandchildren and grandchildren, and when she thought of them, all her loyal responsibilities were left behind, and all she thought about was how not to disturb her family.
The strange thing is that for two days, Mrs. Lu did not deal with her, and no one on Mrs. Hou's side did anything.
Mama Jiang became more and more uneasy.
And Jiang Muxue, on her side, also felt weird.
She didn't understand why Old Madam Lu still kept Mama Jiang, an old idiot.
Although it turned out that the old fool did not participate in the theft, he was always accused of lax care, and in addition, the incident of "contradicting Mrs. Hou" happened first. (To be continued.) )>
