Chapter Thirty-Eight: Can't Let Her Succeed
"Something happened, but overall it was fine. The only bad ones should be Xu Ruoxuan, Mama Gu and the thief who was caught. Xiao Yi replied with a smile.
Xu Ruge was stunned, "Thief? What thieves? ”
"For such a big thing, is there no news in the capital at all?" Xiao Yihuan deliberately tested her.
That little girl was sent by her, how could she not know about the theft of the imperial tomb?
"Although the imperial tomb is not far from the capital, few people go there on weekdays, so it is naturally difficult for the news to come out." Xu Ruge replied.
Xiao Yihuan thought about it, it seemed to be this reason.
So how did she know that General Du had stolen the treasures of the Imperial Tomb?
"But it won't be long before everyone in the capital will know. Because General Du was going to escort the thief to the capital for trial. This thief is really bold enough, he actually dared to steal the things in the imperial tomb, but fortunately he was caught by General Du, otherwise the loss would be big. ”
When Xiao Yihuan said this, he found that Xu Ruge's face was already ugly.
Then she added: "For some reason, I always felt that the thief was familiar, as if I had seen it somewhere." ”
At this moment, Xu Ruge's face turned completely white.
"How did you meet that thief? Just say this in front of me, don't go out and say it, otherwise they will say that you are in league with the thief, and the Hou Mansion will be implicated at that time, understand? ”
But she still had to hold on, pretending to care about Xiao Yihuan.
"Of course. I'm not stupid. Auntie rest assured, even if I really recognize it, I won't say it. ”
After that, she smiled at Xu Ruge and turned to leave.
But she didn't really leave.
Because she knew that Xu Ruge heard what she said to Mama Gu, she would definitely not keep Mama Gu alive anymore.
As soon as Mama Gu dies, this black cauldron will definitely be buckled on her head.
Therefore, she must not let Xu Ruge succeed.
Xiao Yihuan threw a few copper plates on the ground, which quickly attracted the attention of several little maids.
The little maid followed the copper plate she threw all the way to Mama Gu's room, alarming the people inside.
Raising her eyes and seeing Xu Ruge, the little maid was frightened, and quickly knelt down, "The slave doesn't know that Madame is here." ”
"It's okay, I'm just coming over to see Mama Gu, and I'm leaving." Xu Ruge told the maids to take care of Mama Gu and not let people disturb her, so she walked out of the West Garden.
Xiao Yihuan wanted to check on Mama Gu's situation, but she was afraid that she would be discovered, so she had to give up for the time being.
When she wanted to ask for news in the dead of night, she found that Mama Gu was speechless.
In terms of ruthlessness, I am afraid that no one in this Anyang Hou Mansion can compare to Xu Ruge.
However, she was in such a hurry to deal with Mama Gu, which just exposed her nervousness.
Xiao Yihuan is one step closer to the truth.
The news of the theft of the imperial tomb spread throughout the capital on the second day.
The emperor specially asked people to go to the imperial tomb to count, and finally reported it, and found that there were a lot of things lost.
The number even surprised Xiao Yihuan.
"You might come up with evidence to prove that Du Ming was guarding and stealing it?"
She was making a list of what she had been listening to when she heard a familiar voice from outside the window.
"What if there is no evidence? Whether it's his self-theft or not, I don't care. Xiao Yihuan just wanted to see Xu Ruge lift a stone and shoot himself in the foot.
"You don't want to know where the stolen treasure goes?" Night Dye Dust thought she would be interested, but she didn't care at all.
"I'm just curious, how did Xu Ruge know. How could Du Ming fall into her hands? Xiao Yihuan just wants to watch the dog-eat-dog drama.
Let's see who bites harder.
Nightshade walked over the window to her and placed something on the table.
Xiao Yihuan took a look and found that it was a treasure lost in the imperial tomb, the emerald night pearl.
"I bought it. The reason why I went to the Imperial Tomb was not to steal things, it would be too risky, and I wanted to find an easier way. Ye Dye Dust said seriously, even he himself was about to believe it.
It's not easy to make up a reason that can deceive Xiao Yihuan.
"You want to know who stole the treasure of the Imperial Tomb and then went straight to him?"
It's much easier than stealing from the Imperial Tomb.
But he said that this emerald night pearl was bought.
"When Xu Ruge married Xiao Dehou, the Xu family gave a few shops as a dowry, and now there is only one left, which is the pawnshop on East Street. This emerald night pearl was bought from the pawnshop for 10,000 taels of silver. ”
Hearing him say this, Xiao Yihuan immediately understood, "He gave the things stolen from the imperial tomb to Xu Ruge's pawnshop, and Xu Ruge found out about it, and used it as a threat to let him frame me." ”
"He should have suffered a lot from Xu Ruge, and the person who caught Xu Ruge this time will definitely find a way to get justice for himself." Night Dust retracts the emerald Night Pearl into his sleeve.
"Xu Ruge is careful, there should be no trace in the pawnshop. But Du Ming's revenge was enough for her to suffer. ”
In fact, Xiao Yihuan knew in her heart that even if she could find clues to prove that Xu Ruge had sold stolen goods for Du Ming, she could only pretend that she didn't see it.
If someone makes a fuss about this, the Marquis of Anyang will have to suffer.
She couldn't run either.
"You're only with Mama Qiao to take care of? Xiao Dehou didn't arrange two maids for you? Seeing that the courtyard was deserted, Ye Zhanchen couldn't help but ask.
"No, you don't. Too many people will only become a burden. It's enough to have Mama Qiao alone. Xiao Yihuan is not used to being around too many people, she is used to being alone.
It's just that sometimes it is inevitable to think that it would be good if there was one more person who could help her listen to the news in this house, and the scene of the maid chewing the root of her tongue is very common.
The secrets of this house are passed down by word of mouth in this way.
She could have paid more attention, found a confidant in the house, and inquired about the events of the year without anyone noticing.
"A carriage came to the palace, saying that it was going to take the young lady into the palace." Mama Qiao's voice came from outside the door.
Xiao Yihuan frowned, "Could it be that the emperor found out that the little guy was from the Hou Mansion, and this black cauldron was on my head again?" ”
"What exactly is going on, you can only know when you go. But you have a gold medal for avoiding death, what are you afraid of? "It's also very strange why the royal brother summoned her at this time.
But the emperor's thoughts, he has always been inaccurate, so he makes up for random speculation.
Anyway, Xiao Yihuan has a gold medal for avoiding death, and he can't die.
Xiao Yihuan rolled his eyes and threw it over, "That's not how the death-free gold medal is used." ”
"If you can't use it like this, how can you use it? Are you really planning to commit a capital crime? "Night Dust deliberately angered her.
Xiao Yihuan didn't bother to pay attention to him, cleaned up, walked outside the Hou Mansion, and got into the carriage.
As soon as she sat down, she felt that something was wrong.
