After a while, Mingxiang walked back quickly and said to Mu Zhiling: "Miss, the slave went to Jinqiao's room and didn't find Jinqiao's person. ”

Mu Zhiling's expression turned grim, and she got up and walked towards Jin Qiao's room.

Pushing open the door, there was really no one.

Mu Zhiling went straight into Jin Qiao's room and found a place to sit down.

Motioned to Luzhu to make a pot of tea for her, and then instructed Luzhu and Mingxiang, "You guys go out first, remember to pretend that I haven't come back." I'm in this room now waiting for Jinqiao to come back. ”

Mu Zhiling elegantly picked up the teacup and took a sip.

But the gaze is deep and dark.

She looked at the dresser.

If you stop looking at one place, you can't take your eyes off it.

It is a Xuan kiln porcelain box, produced in Xiyue, although it is not extremely expensive, but it is also very affordable.

How could such a rouge appear in Jinqiao's room.

Mu Zhiling frowned, and the corners of her mouth were slightly hooked.

Later, the moment Jin Qiao pushed the door in, he saw Mu Zhiling sitting in the room, and he was so frightened that the three souls lost two souls. She stared at Mu Zhiling dumbfounded, rubbing her eyes, thinking she was dazzled. But when she saw it clearly, she was so frightened that she hurriedly knelt on the ground.

Mu Zhiling looked at Jin Qiao without changing her face, and suddenly the corners of her mouth hooked, and said, "What, I'm scary?" ”

Jin Qiao hurriedly shook his head.

But his face was pale.

She was speechless for a while.

Mu Zhiling said lazily: "Since I'm not terrible, why are you panicking when you see me so much, won't I eat you?" ”

Jin Qiao muttered in her heart: You won't eat me, but she almost scared me to death.

Although he complained like this in his heart, he didn't dare to do this on his face.

Jin Qiao's breathing slowed down a little, looked at Mu Zhiling tremblingly, and said, "It's just that the young lady suddenly appeared in the slave's room, and the slave maid was flattered and lost her sense of proportion for a while." ”

An unpredictable smile rose at the corner of Mu Zhiling's mouth, and said, "You didn't expect me to come back suddenly." ”

Jin Qiao avoided what Mu Zhiling said, and the topic changed sharply, saying, "The young lady came back suddenly, and the slave maid was very happy. It's just that Miss, you won't come back with more than one voice, and if the slave and maid hear about it, they can go to meet you. ”

Jin Qiao lowered her head and tried not to look at Mu Zhiling.

Mu Zhiling snorted coldly, the teacup slammed on the table, Jin Qiao raised his eyes, and looked at Mu Zhiling with some confusion, but his lips trembled slightly.

"Are you blaming Miss Ben?"

Mu Zhiling's speech is no longer as soft as before.

Jin Qiao hurriedly explained: "Miss, how dare the slave and maid blame Miss, the slave and maid have no such intention." ”

Mu Zhiling smiled and said, "Don't you dare? Is there something you wouldn't dare? ”

Mu Zhiling took out the suitable rouge box from her arms and asked, "Say, what is this?" ”

Jin Qiao looked at the rouge box in Mu Zhiling's hand in a daze, and her face changed suddenly.

"It's just a rouge box." Jin Qiao replied lightly.

"This rouge box is yours?"

Jin Qiao froze, not knowing how to return to Mu Zhiling, so she had to say: "The slave doesn't know what Miss means?" ”

Mu Zhiling was furious and said, "I'm asking you who this rouge box is?" Could it be that you can't even understand these words? ”

Jin Qiao suddenly looked at Mu Zhiling fixedly, and said in a deep voice: "This is the slave's, and the slave bought it with all her savings some time ago." ”

Mu Zhiling snorted coldly and said, "You are talking nonsense, this rouge box is clearly mine!" Do you know where this rouge comes from? This rouge is produced in Xiyue and is used by the noble women of Xiyue. It was only a few years old when it was passed to the Great Jin Dynasty, and it was first used in the court, and then it was an official woman. Although the price is not as good as that used by the palace concubine, it is very affordable for people, you say, how can it be yours? ”

After Mu Zhiling finished speaking, Jin Qiao's whole person froze in place, kneeling or moving.

Dumbfounded.

She opened her mouth, wanting to say something, but she didn't dare to say it.

This rouge box is clearly ...... It's clear that someone else gave it to her, how could the young lady say it was hers?

At this moment, she didn't understand what Mu Zhiling meant, she was in a hurry, and blurted out everything she wanted, and said, "Miss, it must really be a slave's, it was given to a slave maid by someone." ”

Mu Zhiling's eyes shrank sharply, of course she knew that such a valuable thing could not be stolen even if it was stolen by Jinqiao.

Then there is only one possibility, someone specially gave it to her.

The reason why she knew this rouge was also because in her previous life, Song Yingzhao also gave her a box when she was twelve years old, and at the same time he also gave Mu Zhishu a box.

The box was exactly the same as this one.

Mu Zhiling suddenly thought of something and squinted her eyes.

"You're just talking nonsense, so tell me, who gave it to you?"

Mu Zhiling's tone became more and more tough.

Jin Qiao paused.

Just when she was hesitating whether she should say it, Mu Zhiling said loudly: "Someone." ”

Mingxiang and Luzhu hurried over when they heard the sound.

Mu Zhiling saw the two of them and said, "You take Jinqiao down and lock him in the warehouse in the west courtyard of Begonia Garden." Mingxiang, you are guarding outside the barn, no one is allowed to approach, no one is allowed unless I have my permission, is it clear? ”

Mingxiang nodded.

Mu Zhiling turned to Lu Zhu and said, "You hurry up and invite Mother Lin and my mother to come, and then spread the word, just say that one of my pearl chains has been stolen." ”

After Luzhu and Mingxiang turned around, Mu Zhiling immediately ripped off the pearl chain on her chest and put it in the drawer of Jinqiao's dresser.

After all, Mother Lin is old, and she is relatively good at confession.

What's more, she has always been her mother's confidant, and she can only rest assured that she can come here.

That box of rouge, nine times out of ten, was given by Song Yingzhao.

And the person that Song Yingzhao can send, there is no one else in this Mu family.

Mu Zhiling smiled bitterly, she was worried that if Sister Xuan met not the two of them.

Song Yingzhao is not her lover.

Her sister Xuan is so kind, she shouldn't like a man like Song Yingzhao.

It's ironic now.

Are the two of them so close in private?

In that case, that's good.

She fulfilled them.

When Mother Lin came with a few subordinates, she saw Mu Zhiling's sad face, and couldn't help asking, "Miss, why are you looking for an old slave?" ”

Mu Zhiling took Mother Lin's hand and said, "Mother Lin, my pearl chain is gone." I searched for a long time but couldn't find it. ”

Mother Lin looked at Mu Zhiling, but she really didn't see it, so she said, "Miss, but you lost it in the Grange?" ”

Mu Zhiling shook her head and said, "I didn't find it when I went, I think someone must have stolen it." Mother Lin, you sent someone to help me find it, I really like that pearl chain. It was given to me by my mother the year before last, and I suspect that Jinqiao's maid did it, and I have already ordered someone to lock her up. ”

Suddenly, she leaned into Mother Lin's ear and whispered a few words, and Mother Lin's face changed abruptly. R1152
