Chapter 36 Dignitaries
The rain dripped down the tiles like a curtain of crystal beads, and the dark clouds outside the window pressed low, just like the atmosphere in the upper room of Fulu Courtyard at this time, which was depressing.
"Is that so?" Old Madam Chen's face was pale, and the sharp light in the corners of her eyes made people fearful.
A housekeeper mother who knelt on the ground and returned to the bow lowered her head a little more, and her afterglow swept to the pile of things on the ground, and she was also angry in her heart.
She helped the Li family manage the courtyard of the long house and the affairs of the house, and she actually gave birth to such a disaster, and her face was mostly broken. I'm afraid that I will have to affect my own master.
Mother Dou swallowed her saliva and kowtowed to Mrs. Chen, her voice blaming herself and being ashamed: "Back to the old lady, according to what the old lady said, it took the slave and maid half an hour to find out. ”
"What Chunlan's residence found was a pair of pearl beads, an orchid golden hairpin. The rest of the silver jewelry was recovered from Shi Chang's residence, as were cloth utensils. Among them, the cloth is the material that the general will buy recently, and he wants to make spring clothes for the owners of each house, and those utensils are also not in line with the identity of the Shi Chang's family. ”
"The person who went to discuss the purchase with Shi Chang's family that day can testify that she had something to do on the way and left for half an hour. Xianglan, who lives with Chunlan, testified that the pearl flower and the golden hairpin Chunlan once said that it was given by Mulian. ”
"Diao Nu!"
Mrs. Chen was so angry that she slapped the table with a slap, and the tea bowl on it shook.
Li Shi looked at his mother-in-law, whose face was as pale as the sky outside, covered with dark clouds, and hurriedly got up to greet her, and said in fear: "Mother is angry, it is the daughter-in-law who failed to manage her own room and take care of the affairs of the house, so that these troubles are bold!" ”
From the time Mrs. Chen called her and ordered her to check on Xianglan's family, she knew that there would be twists and turns.
Unexpectedly, this investigation led to the fact that Xianglan's family did Shangshufu eyeliner, and even found out that they were greedy for ink.
She really had no face to treat the trust that Old Madam Chen gave her.
The general's mansion is in her hands, and there is such a big omission!
Seeing that the eldest daughter-in-law had an unshirkable look of responsibility, Mrs. Chen suppressed her anger and waved her hand at her. "What does this matter have to do with you, the positive and negative will also be a mistake, there are many affairs in the house, and you will always have a time to miss it. What's more, this kind of slave has a plan! ”
The mother-in-law's understanding made Li even more embarrassed, and he made another accusation, promising to thoroughly investigate all the affairs of the house and remove all these resident insects.
After finishing speaking, she was about to leave, but Mrs. Chen stopped her again, saying that it was raining heavily outside, and it was not a matter of checking it, so it was said that the wind was rain. Now it's time to solve this problem first.
Only then did Li turn around and sit down.
When Dou's mother went to search for things, she had secretly controlled Shi Chang's family, and not many people in the house knew about it at this time.
Lin Wanwan, who had been staring at the golden hairpin on the ground for a long time, seemed to have suddenly come back to her senses, and said with a somewhat blank expression: "Grandmother, the stolen goods are all there, and the Shi Chang family's previous denial is afraid that they will change their mouths." But the granddaughter felt that there was no need to be too loud about this matter, and she still used the reason of her aunt to investigate the affairs of the public middle school, saying that they were greedy for ink. ”
Such a strange request made Mrs. Chen stunned.
According to what he said, it has nothing to do with Mu Lian, who went out to sell his master.
She was so angry that her little face turned red, isn't it all because there are spies around her?!
Seeing Old Madam Chen's doubts, Lin Guanwan's eyes slowly condensed a bright light, and the coldness and cunning brilliance were intertwined, making her expression unfathomable.
"Grandmother, the maid next to me, my mother can buy one, so she buys the second. Without Mulian, there are always someone else's. Lin Wanwan said, glanced at the old lady Chen who was sitting on the side as if he had closed his eyes and knocked his eyes, and said: "The art of war is not cloudy, fighting grass and startling snakes, and there are two schemes: fake idiocy and insanity. Keep Mulian first, there will always be her function. ”
What Mu Lian is asking for, she knows better than anyone else, isn't it glory and wealth.
Knowing her mind, why is she afraid that there will be no chance to rebel again?
At the moment, it is just that Xiao Chen's family has no conflict of interest with her, but once Mulian gets close to her father's body, she doesn't believe that Xiao Chen's heart is really so generous!
The girl said slowly, and Mrs. Chen was stunned again, and re-examined her delicate granddaughter.
Old lady Chen slapped her knees, opened her eyes suddenly, and laughed: "My granddaughter is better than blue!" Back then, her mother was smart, and she was too good! ”
"I see, but you two are confused!" Old lady Chen stroked her beard, her eyes full of relief.
Lin Wanwan just pretended to be ashamed, lowered her head and smiled.
But her heart was full of bitterness.
In her previous life, she never thought that she would end up in such a miserable situation when she was pampered by everyone in the General's Mansion, and she never thought about planning and acting.
Now, she is forced to resist.
Who doesn't want to live a life without worry......
Thinking about it, the light in Lin Wanwan's eyes dimmed, and her clear eyes had a sense of vicissitudes that could not be compared with outsiders.
Mrs. Chen is used to her temperament, not to mention that this remark is enough to show her granddaughter's cautiousness, and she agreed without a moment's hesitation.
It's just that she still can't let go.
"Although I agree with your idea, but Wanwan, you have to be completely sure that you can control that Mulian, otherwise you will be a tiger raiser!"
Lin Wanwan was not worried at all, she was saddened, and said with a relaxed expression: "Mulian's deed of sale is in my hands, what are you worried about, even if you are killed for a crime, no one dares to say anything." If my grandmother is still not at ease, how about sending a helper with Wanwan? ”
Someone with her?!
Mrs. Chen is becoming more and more unable to guess her granddaughter's thoughts.
"Then tell me, which maid do you like next to me?"
"Grandmother said like her granddaughter had been spying on people around you." Lin Wanwan was annoyed, and said again: "It's not a maid anymore, it's my grandmother's original side, and then I married Sister Coriander who was in charge." ”
Speaking of coriander, Mrs. Chen's eyes immediately narrowed, and she glanced at her granddaughter with a smile. "He also said that he didn't keep an eye on the people around me, but the coriander has only been in production for three months, and she is about to return to me on an errand. You're leaving?! ”
Lin Wanwan showed a flattering smile, and coquettishly pulled Mrs. Chen's arm and shook it: "It's grandmother again, you said that you don't worry, how can you give a reassuring person, but you don't want to." ”
Mrs. Chen threw her an eye knife and poked her in the head with one hand. "What's the matter, it's all up to you, give it! Save you from chanting a cocoon in my ear, and tomorrow I will call her to you and you! ”
"Good! Then I'll leave all my affairs to her! Sister Coriander is a capable person who even her aunts and uncles are blushing! ”
Lin Wanwan showed a big smile on her face, which caused Li to laugh too, and she knew that Old Madam Chen was willing to release people, so she asked for it earlier.
The matter was told by Lin Wanwan and settled.
Dou's mother also received the order, first imprisoned Shi Chang's family, and then found out how many such moths there were in the mansion before they fell together.
The rain was still pouring outside, and Mrs. Chen said that she would not let Lin Wanwan go back to the courtyard at all, and wanted to let her eat before leaving.
Lin Wanwan turned her head sideways to look at her grandfather, and something flashed in her mind, so she also complied...
