When Qing Huan sneaked back to her small courtyard, Zijin and Zipei were napping, she changed her clothes before she called the two maids up, divided the things she bought from the street and gave them the things she bought, and asked if there was anything unusual in the house by the way.

"It's abnormal, the eldest lady and the second miss are married, and the lady is more strict, and the two young ladies have hardly been out of the room, but it's a pity that our young lady is also a married person, and the lady doesn't care if she doesn't ask, at least she should start buying clothes and jewelry, and the young lady will be in time for the year, how can you prepare when the time comes, is it true that the lady wants the young lady to marry into the Hou Mansion to attract jokes?"

Zijin kept chattering, and Zipei interrupted her: "Miss looked at her, she was in such a hurry, she didn't know that she thought she was going to get married!" ”

Qing Huan laughed and said: "You two don't have to worry, it's good if the Zhao family doesn't come to me for trouble, where can I expect her to take care of me." ”

Zijin didn't let it go: "How can Miss think like this, there is no way to get married when it is decided, no matter what the reputation of Su Gongzi is, he is always the young master of the Hou Mansion, and Miss is also the daughter of the concubine, and the dowry must not be less than that of the eldest lady and the second miss, right?" Madame is obviously going to be partial, but Miss can't just count it like that. ”

"It's rare that you think so much for me, this marriage can't be done to care about the dowry or not, let the Zhao family be eccentric, anyway, they can't get me cheap, no matter how they toss, you will follow me in the future, this Xiangfu is not our home after all."

Zipei heard that something was wrong: "What does Miss mean by this?" Is this a divorce? This is set by our wife, and now the young lady is in a difficult situation in the Prime Minister's Mansion, and it is not impossible to marry to the Hou Mansion, and after the divorce, she will be laughed at by other young ladies and ladies of the mansion. ”

Qing Huan asked: "I'll talk about these things later, you guys talk about it, who is that Su Jingyang, why have you never seen him?" ”

"We asked Mama Li to help inquire, that Su Gongzi is said to be very handsome, but now he is sick and never participates in any activities, Mrs. Qian also worries a lot, looking for famous doctors everywhere, but it is not good. No one knows exactly what he is sick now. ”

Qing Huan sighed: "I didn't expect that I still have a marriage contract with a sick ghost, what kind of life do I have, and I have to worry about these things." Alas. ”

Zijin said: "Miss, in fact, Mrs. Qian didn't plan to let Miss marry her, Mrs. Yun has been away for so long, she has acquiesced in the annulment of the marriage." ”

"What do you mean by that? Listen to whom? Qing Huan felt that someone was fueling the flames and wanted to try his best to promote this marriage.

"It was Mama Li who said it, once I heard Madame tell her subordinates to invite Mrs. Zhongyihou, saying that there was something important to discuss, Mama Li knew about the marriage between Miss and Su Gongzi, she was worried that the conversation was related to Miss, so she listened to a few words after Mrs. Qian came and took advantage of the kitchen to bring tea to Mrs.

Qing Huan asked nervously, "What did Mama Li hear?" ”

Mrs. said that the marriage contract between Miss and Mr. Su was not to be mentioned again, and Mrs. Qian said that there was no need to mention this matter, and after Mrs. Yun left, she broke off the relationship, and the marriage contract was invalid. Our lady persuaded Mrs. Qian, saying that the third lady is now different from before, and her outfalls are becoming more and more standard, and now Su Gongzi might as well take advantage of this opportunity to rush to joy, maybe if he gets married, Su Gongzi will change his heart disease. In short, it is very tempting, Mrs. Qian should be moved. ”

Qing Huan asked: "There is such a thing, why didn't you say it earlier?" I should have thought that who else would do this to me but her? ”

"The other party has never mentioned Miss's marriage, Mama Li thought that Mrs. Qian did not agree, since now the whole capital knows, I just hope that Mr. Su will treat Miss well, and Mrs. Qian is also a good person. As for Madame, Miss doesn't have to worry, it will have nothing to do with Miss when she gets married. ”

Zipei also said: "Miss, Madame treats you like this, just to ask you, either marry a sick ghost, or divorce and ruin your reputation, it's really ......"

"Don't worry, I won't let them down." Qing Huan gritted his teeth and said.

The paper can't hold the fire, and the dowry will be revealed sooner or later, but it is just a little earlier than Qinghuan expected.

In the evening, Qing Huan was just about to get up and go out for a stroll to eliminate food, but before he walked out of the yard, he saw someone coming, this time it was not Zhao's people, but her father asked people to come to her, and she already understood a little, so she followed the person to the front hall.

As soon as he entered, he saw Shen Yue's face full of displeasure: "Qing Huan, you are really unreasonable, a dignified young lady did such a thing." ”

"Okay, master, now that Qinghuan has arrived, let me ask her first, don't be too anxious." The Zhao family always looks virtuous and decent.

Although he guessed it, he must not show it, Qing Huan spoke: "If you have anything to say, I don't have much time to gossip with you." ”

Zhao opened his mouth and asked, "Ahem, Qinghuan, have you been short of anything recently?" ”

Qing Huan was surprised: "What do you mean by this, madam?" Under your care, Qinghuan is very good, and there has never been a shortage of funds. ”

Zhao: "That's good, I didn't treat you badly when I asked myself, why did you do such a thing?" If you have anything to do, you can send someone to tell me! ”

Qing Huan knew that they must have found out that their mother's things were missing, and asked curiously: "I don't understand what this means, what did I do?" ”

Zhao had no choice but to explain: "There are a few boxes of things missing in the warehouse, and it is also my negligence, and I haven't found it when I saw that the boxes were locked." ”

"What? Missing something? What does this mean, madame? Why does my father blame me? Is it my duty to be a caretaker? ”

Shen Yue was impatient and interrupted her: "You don't have to argue, I have checked carefully, the less is just a few boxes of things from your mother, and the other things remain unchanged at all, if you say that you didn't do it, how can others believe it?" ”

Qing Huan was extremely angry: "What does my father mean by that Qing Huan did it?" So why bother? Isn't it okay to ask the sin directly? ”

"So, you admit it?" As soon as Shen Yue asked, Zhao's face was happy, but the clear analysis next to him was disdainful.

Qing Huan laughed: "If my father wants to say anything, why do I have to admit it? Would you believe me if I said it wasn't me? ”

Zhao hurriedly beckoned, and two maid rings came in, as well as the two strong men guarding the warehouse, and Zhao also gave a look after coming in.

Shen Yue saw someone and asked, "Tell me, what do you see?" Master here, don't lie! ”

Yahuan knelt down and said: "The slave and maid are responsible for sprinkling and sweeping, and a few days ago I saw the third lady appear in the warehouse, because she is the master, the slave and maid dare not say much." ”

The strong man who guarded the door also said: "The slave is in charge of guarding and has been conscientious and does not dare to make mistakes, only once after eating lunch he fell asleep, presumably someone was drugged at that time, which gave people a chance." ”

Qing Huan secretly said that it is not good, is there really a girl ring who has seen it? Even so, Yahuan is not sure that she has entered the warehouse, right?

Zhao added another fire: "Qinghuan, do you know that I have to take a nap every afternoon, and it was at that time that I took my key?" ”

"Can I enter Madame's room? Secretly took the key? Qing Huan smiled instead, approached Shen Yue and said, "Others are just down, does my father really believe that it's me?" If my guess is correct, these two maids and the two guarding the door should be Mrs. people, right? If there is no other person to testify, let's say it together! ”

It's clear that it's a temper that can't be provoked: "What do you mean by this, will my mother still frame you?" ”

Qing Huan ignored her and said to Shen Yue: "Father, are the words of these subordinates enough to make people believe that I entered the treasury?" ”

"Qing Huan, those things that are all your mother's things, sooner or later they will all be yours, I have already told your stepmother that when you get married, it will be taken away as a dowry, your eldest sister and second sister will never take a penny from you, I am just angry, why do you want to do this?"

"So, father, do you still trust them more?" Qing Huan laughed at herself: "You said that the eldest sister and the second sister will not take any of me, then look at the two sisters, the hairpin on the head is shaking, the pearl string on the ear, the gold ring on the eldest sister's neck, the bracelet on the second sister's arm, which one is not my mother's thing?" They grew up with these from a young age, and did my father mean that when I got married, I would have to take them all down and return them to me? ”

Qing Xi replied before Shen Yue: "Joke, this is a thing from the Prime Minister's Mansion, why can't the two of us wear it?" Why is it all yours? ”

Qing Huan asked: "Father, Da Ling's law, a woman's dowry man can't keep it for himself, even if he is divorced, he can take it back to his parents' house, so may I ask my father, should these things be mine alone?" The eldest sister said such a thing, can I suspect that the eldest sister stole something? ”

Shen Yue glared at Zhao, and then looked at the clothes that Qing Xi clearly dressed, which seemed to be really Mrs. Yun's thing, and said to Qing Huan: "This is naturally yours, now is not the time to discuss this, where did those big boxes of things go?" ”

"Since my father said that those boxes are all my things, and now they have been lost under Madame's hands, Madame has to give me an explanation!"

Zhao Shi turned the topic to himself, and hurriedly said: "Master, how does the concubine know it, although the concubine has helped Sister Yun keep it all these years, he has never thought about it." Now that the things have been lost, there is no trace of the treasury being turned over, and it happens to be Sister Yun's things, everything else is complete, it can be seen that someone did it on purpose, master, you have to carefully interrogate and find out this person, otherwise the concubine is really uncomfortable. ”

Qing Huan didn't give Shen Yue time to think and asked: "What Madam said is that I have been there all these years, why did my marriage sit down and those things disappeared?" Are you afraid that if I get married, I will take things away in the name of justice? ”

Shen Yue really became suspicious, and glanced at Zhao again, Zhao's face turned pale: "Master, you have to believe me, I came from the Hou Mansion to follow the master for more than ten years, and gave birth to three of their sisters and brothers, is it because of Sister Yun's idea of wealth?" ”

Shen Yue thought about it, Zhao can be said to have contributed a lot to the Prime Minister's Mansion, Shen Yue explained: "When did I doubt you? ”

Zhao wiped the sweat from his forehead and said: "It's good that the lord believes me, Qinghuan, although you have set a family affair and married to the Zhongyi Marquis Mansion, but I never said that I would not buy you a dowry, although I am busy with your sisters' affairs these days, but when you get married, you will all have the same specifications, why do you plan for yourself so early?" ”

Qing Huan sneered: "You keep saying that I did it, what evidence is there besides the so-called sprinkler Yahuan who saw me near the warehouse?" Besides, there are so many things, and the front door and back door of the Prime Minister's Mansion are guarded by Mrs.'s people, do you really think that I have such a ability to reach the sky, and I can transport them out unknowingly? The people I can use, but there are only two powerless maid rings, if I can do it, I'm afraid only Mrs. ”
