Chapter Fifty-Eight: Something Goes Wrong
Ran Ran got the order, immediately ran back, as soon as she entered the pulp room, Aunt Yu hurriedly asked her if she had found the bracelet. Ran Ran shook her head, went to the suitcase again, and the two searched the entire yard, but still didn't see the shadow of the bracelet.
"Lady, if you take a look along the road, I'll continue to look for it, and if you find it, I'll send it to the old lady immediately!" Aunt Yu was also anxious for Ranran, but from the moment Ranran brought her clothes in, she didn't even open them, and the swift came. Seeing the swift's slow and methodical appearance, Aunt Yu didn't pay attention to it, until Ranran ran panting and came to ask, and Aunt Yu was in a hurry.
"Then it's troublesome." Ran Ran nodded, turned around and walked out of the pulp room again, from the gate of Old Madam Gu's courtyard to the pulp room, she walked back and forth three or four times, and still didn't gain anything.
Suddenly, Ran Ran stood still, and a thought seemed to pass through her mind. She frowned and thought about everything that had happened between the time she met Swift and the time she learned that the bracelet was missing.
Because she was in too much of a hurry just now, she didn't expect why Old Madam Gu would think that she had lost something. It stands to reason that if the bracelet is really in the clothes, then it is impossible for her to find it unless she is picked up. Not to mention that there will be no one walking on this road at this time, even if there is, the things that Old Madam Gu wears are not common to see, who would take the risk to hide them privately.
Assuming that none of this is true, then Mrs. Gu and the others should start looking for it after the bracelet leaves their sight, and they should not directly suspect her, after all, the clothes were given to her by Swift.
Swift!
How could she forget this important person, Ran Ran only felt that her chest was beating a little urgently, and an idea quickly surfaced in her heart, and she immediately ran to the swift house.
It just so happened that Swift had replaced Jingjing's work, and as soon as she returned to the house, she looked at Shang Ran's angry face: "Swift, where did you put the bracelet?" ”
Yuyan seemed to have expected that Ranran would come to her, raised her eyelids and glanced at her, and said unhappily: "Lady, what do you mean by this, do you suspect that I can't hide it!" ”
Ran Ran stared at the expression on Swift's face, and said seriously: "When you gave it to me, you obviously didn't have anything!" ”
Swift sneered, "Then I don't know, but I reminded you, remember to shake your clothes clean, don't leave anything behind, have you checked?" The corners of her eyes swept to Ranran's lips and she was silent, and her tone hardened, "Since you haven't seen it, how do you know that it's not inside, and I only later learned that the bracelet was lost in my clothes." ”
It was true that she was negligent when she didn't check carefully, but it wasn't her fault, she was just in charge of getting the clothes over. Looking at the attitude of the swift, Ran Ran vaguely felt that the disappearance of the bracelet must be related to the swift, but she had no evidence.
Seeing Ranran's irritable appearance, Yuyan didn't forget to add: "If the lady has the leisure to doubt me, she might as well go back and look for it." The bracelet was given to the old lady by the old lady, and the old lady has always worn it, and if she loses it, she must be very sad. ”
Ranran, who was about to leave, heard this, and the whole person seemed to be frozen, and it took a long time to come back to her senses.
No wonder Old Madam Gu is in such a hurry, this is the relic of Old Man Gu, if you can't find it, I'm afraid that family law is inevitable. Thinking of the days when she was lying in bed, Ran Ran couldn't help but shudder.
Since the swift bit and didn't see it, she could only ask the people she might have come into contact with one by one.
So, Ran Ran had no choice but to come to Xue's house. But in the face of Ranran's inquiry, Cuihe's face changed and she looked very unhappy: "I didn't see anything. ”
Although Ran Ran didn't think that Cuihe had a chance to steal it, now she didn't dare to let go of any possibility. "Really, it's the old lady's close-wear."
Cuihe was teased by Aunt Yu just now, and she was angry in her heart, and now Ran Ran came to the door to blame her again, and her tone was naturally not much better. "Lady means I stole it? I just came out when you first entered the door, could I still steal the bracelet right under your nose? ”
Liu Xu's daughter-in-law, who had figured out the whole story, hurriedly came over to relieve the siege, and while facing Ran Ran's smiling face, she reprimanded: "Cuihe, don't be presumptuous!" Yes, there is, if there is no, there is no, how can you talk to a lady like this. ”
Cuihe was asked by the Xue family from her mother's family, so she thought that her identity was no less than Liu Xu's daughter-in-law, so she raised her head and talked back. "It's the lady who accused me of stealing." This didn't make Liu Xu's daughter-in-law angry.
"It's best if you don't have it, if you don't say anything about it, it's not easy to be found out." Ran Ran didn't have the heart to look at them bickering, she glanced at Cuihe out of the corner of her eyes, and couldn't help sneering in her heart: It's just that her aunt's maid will hold herself up to the sky, and sooner or later she will fall and her nose will be swollen.
The night gradually darkened, and the entire Gu family knew that Ran Ran had lost Old Madam Gu's bracelet, but no one dared to help her find it, so they had to stay away from her when she passed by, so as not to block her way.
Ran Ran was very curious, what kind of soup did Swift pour into Old Madam Gu, and she would think that she had lost the bracelet. But she had to wipe almost every stone tile along the way, not even the grass and ditches a little farther away.
There is no pulp room, there is no yard, and the people who may come into contact with it are not only Shanlin's daughter-in-law, but also Yu Auntie, Yuyan, Cuihe, and Gu Lianzhao.
Could it be ......
Ran straightened up, thinking that the most unlikely person was now the most probable. With the fact that he had stolen Yao's bracelet, maybe it was normal to take Mrs. Gu's bracelet to play with this time, although the reason was a little unreasonable, but she could only hope for it.
Just as she was about to turn around to find Gu Lianzhao, she suddenly saw two sneaky figures running out of the corner gate, and a pair of young men and women rashly appeared in the backyard, and their whereabouts were mysterious, which made Ran Ran feel bad in her heart. I was about to catch up and find out, but Miao Ling ran all the way over, and her little face was full of excitement, "Lady, don't look for it, the bracelet has been found." ”
As soon as Ran Ran grabbed Miao Ling's hand, she couldn't help but get excited, "Great, where did you find it?" ”
Seeing Ran Ran so excited, Miao Ling also became happy, she didn't dare to imagine the consequences of not being able to find the bracelet, so as soon as she got Miao Ling, she immediately ran to report. "Sister Jingjing said she saw it on the way to the garden."
"Jingjing?"
Listening to Miao Ling's words, it was like pouring a scoop of cold water on her head, which drenched her excitement. How could she be found, and it was still in the garden, she had never been to the garden, how could the bracelet run to the garden?!
I couldn't help but think of Yuyan's words, Old Madam Gu's attitude and Jingjing in my mind, and I suddenly felt like I was being played around. This bureau was clearly set up to wait for her to jump in by herself, and she said how could it be so coincidental, what to go to the pulp room by the way, and what to take care of the relics of the old lady.
It's just that on weekdays, at most, she sues some innocuous little things in front of Old Madam Gu, but this time she actually wants to kill her.
Just when Ran Ran was fugue, Miao Ling became sad again: "But lady, the old lady said that you were careless in your work, and punished you for not being allowed to eat today, and you have to go to the pulp washing room to wash all your clothes before you can go back to the room." ”
"Why?!" Ran Ran was so surprised that she cried out.
Just because of something that had nothing to do with her, Mrs. Gu actually punished her to wash her clothes, and she had to wash them before she could go back to the room for dinner?!
