As soon as these words came out, everyone looked at the two maids kneeling on the ground.

Old Madam Ren frowned: "Can you hear clearly?" It's better to recruit it truthfully! Her voice was not harsh, and her expression was not cold enough, but it made the teeth of the two maids tremble. Because the rules in Ronghua Courtyard have always been very large, the maids will suffer a lot if they exceed the rules a little, and it is normal for them to be sold.

Mrs. Ren Wu glanced at the Liu'an family, her eyes rolled slightly, and she suddenly asked Mama Gui with a smile: "In this case, the burden must have been found?" Why don't you take it out and see what it is? ”

Mama Gui's face was a little embarrassed.

Mrs. Ren raised her eyebrows slightly: "What?" Can't find the burden that my mother-in-law said? ”

Mama Gui lowered her head slightly: "Back to the fifth wife, the slave and maid are looking for it, but they haven't been found yet." ”

The fifth lady was angry on her face, and turned her head to the old lady and said with some grievances: "Mother, my daughter-in-law knows that you have always loved Yaohua and Yaoyin more than Yu'er. The daughter-in-law also always taught Yu'er that the two sisters are older and should be more pampered, and our Yu'er has always been sensible, humble and polite to the sisters, and never jealous. She has a wooden temperament and doesn't like her daughter-in-law, but she doesn't have any cats and dogs that can bully her, right? This shadowless thing is just exaggerated by an old and dizzy outer courtyard minion, who wants to take advantage of the opportunity to confuse the public to please the master and ask for reward, how can he be gullible? Although these two maids are stupid, after all, they are close to our Yu'er, and they have a reputation for stealing so unfounded, which makes us how Yu'er will behave in the mansion in the future. How to raise your head in front of your siblings? ”

The fifth lady came with tears as she spoke, as if she were made of water.

Seeing that the old lady Ren was a little displeased, she said lightly: "Okay! I haven't said anything yet! It's just calling the maids and women to ask questions! What do you look like crying in front of your juniors! ”

The fifth lady took out a handkerchief and rubbed it, but her tone was still a little uneven: "You haven't asked clearly, so you convicted our Yu'er's maid first." obviously believed this mother-in-law's words. If you really don't like Yu'er's granddaughter, I'll take her back and send her to Yunyang City to throw her grandmother!" You still have Yaohua here for your old man to be a companion. She is articulate and clever, and she has always won your heart. ”

"Mother...... I won't go to my grandmother's house,......" Ren Yaoyu gently tugged at the hem of the fifth wife's clothes, looking aggrieved.

The fifth wife gently pushed her daughter and scolded: "Who wants you to be wooden and not please the elders!" ”

Ren Yaoyu wiped her tears with grievance.

Old Lady Ren saw that the green tendons on their foreheads jumped like this, and finally slapped the kang a few angrily: "Who said that you were going to send Yaoyu to Yunyang City!" She's the granddaughter of my Ren family, and she's not going anywhere! ”

The eldest lady of the Ren family saw that she was going to make a fuss, she didn't stand up at this time, and when the old lady couldn't get off the stage, she would have to settle accounts with her, so she stepped forward and pulled the fifth wife's mother and daughter, and said gently: "Who said that the old lady doesn't care for Yu'er?" If she doesn't care for this granddaughter, can her old man take Yu'er with her and discipline her personally? He lowered his head and softly comforted Ren Yaoyu, "Good boy, be good, don't listen to your mother's angry words." Who among the elders in the house doesn't like you to be humble, polite, lively and lovely? Persuade your mother quickly. ”

When the fifth wife saw that the eldest lady came out to play a round, she knew the truth that she would accept it when she saw it, so she gradually closed her voice. His eyes were on the Liu'an family standing in the middle.

The eldest lady and the fifth wife have been concubines for many years, and they have always known her temper, so they took the initiative to help her and said to the old lady: "Old lady, what the fifth brother and sister said is not unreasonable. Early in the morning, it is not impossible for the mother-in-law to see the poor when she is old. Why don't you let Mama Gui take someone to count the valuable things in the house and see if there are any missing? If you don't lose anything important, it must be a misunderstanding. ”

The fifth wife also agreed at this time: "The daughter-in-law is also in favor of counting the valuable things in this house." Let's see if it's our Yu'er's maid who eats inside and out, or this tricky mother-in-law who is opening her mouth! ”

The eldest lady looked at Mrs. Ren inquiringly.

Mrs. Ren turned her head and instructed Mama Gui: "You can take someone to count according to the list." ”

Mama Gui answered.

Almost half an hour later, Mama Gui came back with a few big girls.

"Back to the old lady, I counted all the things in the house and counted them in the booklet, and I didn't find anything missing."

The fifth wife was suddenly furious, and pointed at the uneasy Liu'an family and scolded: "Okay, you masterless slave! It's to see that our Yu'er is a good bully, isn't it? You don't slander other people's personal maids, but you want to slander our Yu'er! Didn't you slap me in the face! ”

Seeing that the old lady Ren had tossed such a result for so long, her face was not good-looking, and she was about to speak, when the fifth lady scolded the Liu'an family, who was about to bury her head in her neck, knelt down and hurriedly defended the old lady Ren.

"The old lady knows, how dare the slave and maid tell such a lie to fool you? The slave and maid did see it, and did not dare to say a lie. ”

Mama Gui frowned and whispered, "How can you believe you if you have no evidence?" I still believe that you reported the matter for you, and now I will be affected by you. ”

When the Lu'an family heard this, they seemed to suddenly remember something, and said hurriedly: "Slave, slave and maid have a way to find evidence." ”

The fifth wife gritted her teeth angrily: "Do you want to fool the masters again?" ”

Liu'an's head shook like a rattle: "No, no." It was a slave and maid who knew that there was a mother-in-law in the outer courtyard of the road who had a dog at home, and her nose was extremely effective. A few days ago, when the man of their family left the house, he was picked up by a pickpocket, but the dog led the person to find the money bag in a family in a broken alley five streets away. ”

Everyone was amazed.

Mrs. Ren said, "Is there really such a spirit? ”

"If you don't want to let the slave and maid try it, you will know the way, and the slave and maid will go to the outer courtyard to borrow a dog. Let it sniff the two girls, and then follow it into the garden. "Lu'anjia said with a package ticket.

"Ridiculous! There are so many minions that can't be found, what good can a beast do? Could it be that an adult is not as good as that beast? Mrs. Five objected disdainfully,

Liu'an's family hurriedly said: "The slave and maid dare to guarantee that it will be successful, if it is really impossible to find it in the end, the slave and maid are willing to accept the guilt." ”

"Mother......

The fifth lady turned her head to the old lady Ren and wanted to say something, but the eldest lady glanced at the old lady, but suddenly took the fifth lady and gently persuaded, "Since this woman dares to assert like this, then let her try." If you can't find it, you just return the innocence of the two maids, so that Yu'er's face is also preserved. As for the lying mother-in-law...... When the time comes, I will sell it and see who will dare to talk casually in front of the old lady in the future. ”

The fifth lady wanted to say something when she heard this, but the old lady had already spoken: "Let her go!" Let's see what tricks she can pull out. Yu'er is my granddaughter, I will naturally call the shots for her, and no one wants to splash dirty water on her maid casually! ”

"Thank you, old lady." Liu'an's family was overjoyed, kowtowed and thanked him before leaving.

"Slave and maid come with me?" Mama Gui asked.

Mrs. Ren nodded and let her go.

After another quarter of an hour or so, the people in the house heard the barking of a dog outside, and when they heard the sound, they knew that it was a big one.

The juniors in the room all turned their heads to look at the door curtain with some curiosity, but unfortunately they were blocked by the door curtain and couldn't see anything.

Only Ren Yaoyu's face was very frightened, and although the fifth wife's face was not good-looking, she still held back, and gave her daughter a look to make her feel a little calmer.

After a while, Mama Gui lifted the curtain and came in, and the barking of the dog outside the room was more clearly audible as soon as the curtain opened and closed.

"Old lady, I have to ask these two maids to come out and let the dog sniff it."

The two maids lost their faces when they heard this, and subconsciously looked at Mrs. Five.

Old Lady Ren nodded, and Mama Gui glanced at the two mothers-in-law behind her, and the two mothers-in-law quickly stepped forward to mix the two maids.

Seeing that they were a little unsteady on their feet, Mama Gui kindly comforted: "Don't be afraid, although that dog looks big, it doesn't bite." ”

The two maids screamed almost the moment they left the door of the main room, and the people in the room were startled when they heard this, and the old lady's hand that went to squeeze the lid of the bowl also trembled.

"What's going on!"

Mama Gui had already hurriedly ran in and replied: "It's okay, it's okay, those two maids are timid." But the masters had better not come out, so as not to disturb them. That dog is so long. Gui Mama gestured with her arm, and it was as long as a child of six or seven years old.

The eldest lady hurriedly ordered: "Arrange for a few people to hold the door, so that the dog does not break in."

Mama Gui answered.

It wasn't until the barking of the dog outside had run away that the people in the house breathed a sigh of relief.

This time, in less than a quarter of an hour, Mama Gui returned.

When she came in, she carried an autumn-colored bag in her hand, and behind her were two gray-faced maids who were supported and the relieved Lu'an family.

Eighth Miss Ren Yaoyu's face turned pale, and she tightened the hem of her mother's clothes. The fifth wife, Lin, immediately took her daughter's hand and glared at the two maids fiercely.

But the two maids were so frightened that they couldn't feel her eyes.
