Chapter 419: Purge

Now Dayong is at war with the Hu people, but there are objects in the Weiguo Mansion that only the Hu nobles can hold.

Duchess Wei Guo knew how powerful it was, so she was so excited.

Under An Ruolan's suggestive gaze, she realized that the house was not safe now, and immediately regained her composure and sat down again.

When she spoke again, her voice lowered a little, and she asked with palpitations, "Where is that thing now?" ”

An Ruolan replied, "In my room." ”

As he spoke, he dipped his tea and quickly wrote on the stone table: "Cooperate, act." ”

Then he said: "Mother, I really like those jade ornaments so much, so I took them back to the room to see, I didn't want to keep them for myself, and now that the guard is gone, I can only use this to seek comfort." ”

She didn't lower her voice when she spoke, and sobbed aggrievedly.

Duchess Wei Guo understood, and said: "It's not that my mother is harsh on you, what you are doing is wrong, if you like it, you can take as many treasures and antiques as possible, just tell me first, otherwise you will have a bad reputation when it spreads, fortunately, the head of the treasury did not spread it this time, but just sued me, otherwise I don't know how to end it." ”

An Ruolan nodded, and even claimed yes.

Duchess Wei Guo's mind changed, and she said: "I know that Wei Xing is going on the expedition, you feel uncomfortable, since you like to play with those utensils, in the future, you can go to the treasury to choose, and my mother will approve it." ”

She and An Ruolan thought of going together, if there is one, there may be two, and there is nothing wrong with being more guarded.

An Ruolan thanked happily. Make a flattering gesture.

This matter was revealed, but due to the inconvenience of speaking, Duchess Wei Guo still did not know the details behind it.

A few days passed. When An Ruolan went to the warehouse to pick things again, Manager Li no longer looked at her with strange eyes, and the deputy manager became more and more enthusiastic and positive.

took out a bunch of utensils again and let An Ruolan pick them up, and the deputy chief manager said casually: "It's rare that Manager Li doesn't have horizontal eyebrows today, it's really strange." ”

An Ruolan knew that he was talking nonsense, so she raised her eyebrows without a trace, and pretended to smile proudly: "That's because my mother mentioned it." ”

The deputy chief manager suddenly said: "I see. A pair of rat eyes turned. He asked again: "I heard that Mrs. talked to the young lady a few days ago, could it be that Mr. Li chewed his tongue in front of Mrs.?" ”

An Ruolan's expression was slightly gloomy, and she said, "But my mother understands righteousness. Not only did they not punish me, but they also let me come to the warehouse at will to pick and choose what I liked. ”

The deputy chief manager hurriedly complimented: "The young lady makes soup for the young lady every day, no wonder the lady loves the young lady so much." ”

An Ruolan smiled and didn't speak again. Instead, focus on the jewelry in front of you. As before, she had it all in her pocket, and asked, "Is there anything else?" ”

Seeing that her appetite was getting bigger and bigger, the deputy chief steward's eyes were uncertain, you must know that every time he sent more treasures than the last time, but this young lady always took all the orders, to say that she was just showing them, he didn't believe it.

There was a pause. The deputy chief pretended to be a problem: "Yes, there is, but there is no way to take out the small ones." You must know that this warehouse is still in charge of Mr. Li. ”

Hearing this, An Ruolan smiled secretly in her heart, it seemed that the deputy chief manager wanted to use her strength to climb up in order to better control the size of the warehouse.

Her mind turned slightly, and an idea took shape in her heart, but she said with a little dissatisfaction on her face: "Then forget it." ”

The deputy chief steward sent her away in fear.

Back in the room, An Ruolan wrote a note and handed it to Liu in the name of practicing calligraphy, asking her to quietly hand it over to Duchess Wei when she sent tonic soup to Duchess Weiguo.

After that, An Ruolan went to the warehouse several times one after another, and each time he had to ask the deputy manager if he had too many things to play with, and the deputy manager always looked embarrassed, and after many times, An Ruolan's "dissatisfaction" with Manager Li became obvious.

After another half a month, Duchess Wei Guo handed over the affairs of the treasury to the deputy chief manager on the grounds that Manager Li was old, and the deputy chief knew that An Ruolan was speaking for him behind his back.

After getting the real power, the deputy chief manager provided more and more objects to An Ruolan, and An Ruolan never asked about the source, how much he received, and later he didn't even look at it, and took it away. Seeing that she was so greedy, the deputy chief manager began to mix things with the jewelry and utensils provided.

In fact, every time she got something, An Ruolan would check them one by one in the room, and she found that several of them could be seen at a glance as alien instruments, not to mention some that could not be seen, and she didn't know how much criminal evidence the deputy chief had mixed in.

What An Ruolan didn't know was that every time she mixed a piece of it, the deputy chief manager could get a large sum of silver, plus she unscrupulously moved things from the treasury, and never counted them, and the deputy chief manager did not fill her own pockets under the guise of her, and deducted a lot of valuable things from it, which is why he dared to be so bold, and the deputy chief manager was really blinded by money.

After another month, when Manager Li was completely ignorant and the deputy manager was complacent, there were thefts in Weiguo Mansion one after another, not only several valuable treasures were lost in the treasury, but even Duchess Weiguo and An Ruolan, as well as Wei Shao's room, lost a lot of things.

For a while, the whole house was in an uproar, and after the investigation, it was also found that there were many things in the treasury that were missing, and the Duchess of Weiguo was immediately furious, and the whole house was arrested for questioning, and the deputy chief was directly driven out of the Guogong Mansion, and several maids and wives in the courtyard of the master, as well as the gatekeeper and most of the nursing homes in the house were also dismissed and driven out of the house.

Duchess Wei Guo thought further than An Ruolan, and after realizing that there might be eyeliner all over the house, she came up with this solution, which was to take this opportunity to clear the mansion and remove all those eyeliner nails without a trace.

The so-called theft is just a scene directed and acted by the Duchess of Weiguo.

The Weiguo Mansion has changed blood, and there are a lot fewer people in the mansion than before, and most of the previous probing sights have disappeared, An Ruolan and the Duchess of Weiguo finally found an opportunity to talk in detail and plan for the future.

An Ruolan worshipped: "At first, I thought there was really a thief, but I didn't expect it to be my mother's plan, my mother is really powerful." It's a big problem in one fell swoop! ”

She also thought about driving the deputy chief away, but she had not been in the door long and had no foundation. Not to mention that there is no such resolute and decisive means as her mother-in-law, even if she has, she does not dare to act rashly. In the matter of taking care of the housework, she has already caused many old people to be dissatisfied, and if she is still driven to be the deputy head of the Weiguo Mansion for many years, I am afraid that she will not be able to gain a foothold in the Guogong Mansion in the future.

Now it's okay, the mother-in-law has rightfully driven away those ill-intentioned subordinates. They speak and do things much more freely and easily.

Hearing this, Duchess Wei Guo waved her hand indifferently and said, "Now it's just a solution to the crisis in the treasury." I don't know if there are other actions of the people behind the scenes, but we still have to be careful. ”

An Ruolan nodded cautiously, remembering that in her previous life, she had found a letter of collaborator in her father-in-law's study, and she said: "Since that person wants to frame the Weiguo Mansion for collaborating with the enemy and betraying the country. Presumably, it won't just rely on a few objects to enjoy. I am afraid that they will fabricate letters and hide them in the house. ”

Duchess Wei Guo agreed, and said: "I think so too, so I sent a large number of secret guards to keep an eye on the movements in the mansion, and once they find out, they will immediately come to report so that they can destroy the stolen goods in time." ”

Nowadays, there are many fewer people in the mansion on the surface, but there are several times more people hidden in the dark than before, and the safety process has improved several times compared to the past.

An Ruolan's thoughts were the opposite of her. said: "I don't think there is a need to rush to destroy the stolen goods, after the other party puts the things away." Presumably, we will monitor for a period of time, and if we destroy the stolen goods directly, I am afraid that we will startle the snake, and then I don't know what method that person will use to design a frame-up. ”

Duchess Wei nodded thoughtfully and said, "As long as we know where we are hiding, we won't have time to transfer everything, what do you mean?" ”

An Ruolan nodded, if they startled the snake, then all the efforts they had made before would be in vain.

Duchess Wei Guo looked at her deeply, smiled suddenly, and said, "Just do what you want." You are more thoughtful and meticulous than I thought, and I am relieved to leave the Guogong Mansion to you to take care of. I believe that together we will be able to survive this crisis. ”

An Ruolan blushed unconsciously, and said: "Ruolan is a little smart, not as good as her mother, Ruolan still has a lot to learn from her mother." ”

Her modesty pleased the Duchess of Weiguo, and the Duchess of Weiguo smiled heartily: "Okay, as long as you are willing to learn, as long as I know, I will teach you!" ”

Duchess Wei Guo is not joking, Wei Xing, like Wei Guogong, is dedicated to protecting the family and defending the country, and in the future, the business of Wei Guofu will definitely be handed over to An Ruolan to take care of, so An Ruolan is willing to learn, she will definitely be willing to teach.

and discussed how to deal with those ornamental objects, An Ruolan meant to quietly transport them to Qianxunju and let Zhong Siye help deal with them, Duchess Weiguo agreed, but how to transport them out is another problem, because there are too many things, and taking them out will definitely attract people's attention.

Duchess Wei Guo said: "In this way, in the name of gift-giving, you will successively give things to Zhong Siye, leaving only one or two in the house, so that it will be much easier to deal with it when the time comes." ”

"It's still my mother's cleverness." An Ruolan nodded in agreement, and inadvertently patted a sycophant, and Duchess Wei Guo was squinted with a smile.

Although they didn't say it explicitly, they all knew that King Gong was the one behind the frame-up design.

On the other side, knowing that the eyeliner planted in the Weiguo Mansion had been driven out, Zhao Qing frowned and asked, "Could it be that the Duchess of Weiguo discovered our plan?" ”

"Probably not." Xue Da shook his head and said: "It is a fact that the Weiguo Mansion was stolen, and the deputy head of the treasury of the Weiguo Mansion that we bought was insatiable and embezzled a lot of property without permission, so it is reasonable that he will be driven out. ”

Zhao Qing nodded.

After the cloaked man was poisoned and died, King Gong sent Xue Da to do things for Zhao Qing, because of An Ruoxian's relationship, although Zhao Qing had a lot of dissatisfaction with Xue Da, he did not embarrass him, fortunately, although Xue Da was gloomy and vicious, he was also resourceful, and after the run-in, Zhao Qing had accepted him.

After a little hesitation, Zhao Qing said: "It's good that the plan is not revealed, don't want those nails, it's useless in the future, you let the secret guards who are staring at the Weiguo Mansion pay more attention, I don't want to fail." ”

Xue Da nodded yes.

After explaining the matter, Zhao Qing waved his hand, but Xue Da didn't leave as usual, he couldn't help frowning and asked, "What's the matter?" ”

Xue Da squeezed out a smile and said, "Don't hide it from the prince, my niece sent a letter to her subordinates, saying that she wanted to participate in the flower viewing party held by Princess Qinshu five days later." ”

Zhao Qing was stunned, "You mean Ruoxian?" ”

Xue Dalian nodded repeatedly, "It was said that the Marquis of Wenxin Mansion was looking at other people's houses for her, and she didn't want to be manipulated by others, so she wanted to choose one she liked by herself through the flower viewing meeting." ”

In fact, Xue Da didn't want to help this uncle who had something to do, and he couldn't wait to get rid of his relationship with him if he had nothing to do, but there was no way, he knew that the prince had a great relationship with his niece, and if he hid this matter, he would probably not have good fruit to eat if he was found out in the future.

Hearing this, Zhao Qing frowned and said, "I know, I'll ask my sister-in-law to post to her." ”

Xue Da breathed a sigh of relief and thanked him and retreated.

Fingertips tapped on the table, the speed became faster and faster, and the movements became more and more chaotic, and finally Zhao Qing swept away the things on the table with a gloomy face, and his chest rose and fell violently with anger.

She hid it from him! And you still have to look at men!

He would never allow it, he had done so much for her, she could only be his!

Suppressing his anger, Zhao Qing summoned his personal attendant and ordered: "Go and tell my sister-in-law, I will attend this flower viewing party, and in addition, you ask my sister-in-law to send a post to the tenth lady of the Wenxin Hou Mansion." ”

The attendant saw that the master was in a bad mood, and Nuo Nuo should be.

Looking at the back of the attendant leaving in a hurry, Zhao Qing slightly hooked the corners of his lips, he was enough of being a gentle and tolerant brother, he didn't want to act with her anymore, it was time for her to know who she belonged to.

An Ruoxian delivered the letter to Xue Da when she was desperate, otherwise she would not be involved with the villains again.

Before An Ruolan got married, the old lady asked Murong to look at other people's houses for her, because a lot of things happened in the middle, she had long forgotten about this stubble, but she didn't want Murong to remember, and she also selected a few suitable ones for her and asked her to make a decision.

How could she possibly say yes?!

However, the Meng family was completely crazy, and no one in the entire Hou Mansion would help her speak, and in desperation, she thought of the Xue family and An Wenjun, who had been left behind by her, her cheap mother and brother.

Now the Xue family lives in the backyard, so low-key that they can't be more low-key, and they never interact with anyone, as if they have let go of a qiē, and An Wenjun has found an errand in the Hanlin Academy with his own efforts, although it is not as smooth as An Wenyan, he also lives steadily and steadily with his own hands, because the mother and son are safe, An Shiyan takes a lot of care of them.

An Ruoxian had to pull down her face and ask An Wenjun and Xue's for help, but in the past few years, she has ignored Xue and An Wenjun, and Xue and An Wenjun have long lost their feelings for her, not to mention that they can't do anything, even if they have the ability, they don't want to be involved with her anymore.

Inadvertently learned about the flower viewing party, An Ruoxian had the idea of taking a gamble, even if it was not the male lead, the sons of other families were better, better than the small family chosen by the Murong family.

It's just that she was weak and didn't dare to ask Zhao Jing for help, so she wrote a letter to Xue Da. (To be continued......)
