After dinner, the eldest lady and the prime minister, as well as Lin Zhixian, who came back later, all returned to their rooms.

Lin Zhiyu sent them away and turned his head to look at Lianhua.

Lianhua has been nervous for so long, and now she can finally relax, and she can't help but cry out.

"Woo woo, Miss! Scared the hell out of me! ”

Lianhua rushed over and hugged Lin Zhiyu's waist, she was actually discovered yesterday, fortunately, Lin Zhiyu had already asked her and Fei Qing to say that this was the last time they met.

Lin Zhiyu originally wanted to say a few words about Lianhua, but seeing that Lianhua was so pitiful, he already knew that he was wrong, so he couldn't bear to talk about her anymore.

"Okay, don't cry, the voice will bring my father back in a while, and I think I'm a wolf in my house." Lin Zhiyu deliberately teased Lianhua.

Lianhua was amused by Lin Zhiyu's words, and tears were still falling, but she was already laughing.

"Miss, fortunately, I was allowed to meet Fei Qing for the last time yesterday, otherwise if I was discovered this time, someone would definitely notice it, and it would be discovered in the future."

Lin Zhiyu touched Lianhua's head, "Okay, don't worry." You should be open and honest now, otherwise others will see at a glance that you are weak-hearted. ”

Lianhua: "yes, got it. ”

Lin Zhiyu began to teach Lianhua how to answer if someone asked about this matter, so as not to make people suspicious.

On the other side, the Xue family, who was grounded, didn't even eat dinner, because everyone eats dinner together on weekdays, but today they all eat in Lin Zhiyu's yard, and no one will send it to Xue's courtyard without reminding the kitchen.

This is also the eldest lady's idea, starve Xue's for one night first, because the prime minister will not care about these little things, as long as she doesn't say it, no one will send food to Xue's.

However, the eldest lady didn't want to torture the Xue family much, just tonight. Starting tomorrow, I will ask the kitchen to send a single copy to Xue's. But how much and what the kitchen can give, it's not for her to consider.

Xue, who was grounded, made a lot of trouble in her room, and after finding that no one paid attention to her, she kept thinking about countermeasures in the room, Xue Yan didn't look like a liar, otherwise how could she put herself in. She eventually identified a rough maid, but the maid did not admit it.

Xue guessed that it should be as Snow Goose said, it was the rough maid who found out about this first and then went to her, but Snow Goose wanted to be exclusive, so she didn't bring the rough maid, and the rough maid didn't admit it at the time, probably because she was afraid of being implicated.

So now all you have to do is call the maid who stopped it and ask if it's true.

After Xue figured it out, he hurriedly called the government soldiers again.

"Someone! Someone! I have something to say! "It is estimated that the soldiers of the government are in a good mood after eating, and the Xue family called two people.

"Stop shouting, what's the matter?"

"I'm looking for a maid! The maid that Snow Goose identified today. Xue hurriedly said his request.

The government soldier said impatiently: "It's useless to find anyone, stay in peace." ”

"Hey! Come back! I'm really in a hurry to find her. "Xue's shooting is called the government soldiers, but the government soldiers have already left.

Xue can't, in fact, he can't call someone over, so he can only find someone to find her.

Xue asked the maid who was working in his room to find the rough maid, but the maid was still reluctant to go. was so angry that Xue had no choice but to give the maid some money, and the maid agreed.

Don't fight or grab? If I don't fight for so many years, I will only have this position in the house.

It took a long, long time for the maid to find this rough maid.

"I've seen Aunt Xue." The rough maid knew that the last sentence of the snow goose would definitely arouse suspicion, but she didn't expect the Xue family to find someone to find her so soon.

"Go down, all of you." The Xue family took all the other maids away, leaving only one rough maid.

"Snow Goose just identified you, you tell me the truth, did you see it?" Xue Shi stared directly at the rough maid, staring at her until her heart was furious.

This Aunt Xue can't stand the blow and go crazy.

Seeing that the rough maid didn't speak, Xue thought that she didn't want to speak, so he took out a piece of silver and stuffed it into her hand, "As long as you are willing to say, this silver is yours." ”

The rough maid looked at this piece of silver to catch up with her half a year's monthly money, but she still said vigilantly. "I can only tell you, but I can't be called out to testify."

Xue gritted his teeth, "Okay, as long as you say it." ”

The rough maid happily accepted Xue's money, "Aunt Hui, it's true." I saw it first that day, and then I went and told the snow goose. ”

"We all saw the man fly up with Lianhua in his arms, and it was just Lianhua's face, it wouldn't be wrong."

"The man gave him something, and he carried it in his arms."

"Later, when Lianhua left, we squatted in the woods at her feet, and saw her walking towards the eldest lady's yard with our own eyes."

Xue asked the whole thing carefully, and after confirming this matter again and again, she had hope again.

Since Lianhua saw that man yesterday, and he didn't leave the house for a day today, even if he wanted to tell that man to be careful, it would be tonight at the earliest. And maybe they thought it was over, and it was possible to meet in private.

Xue began to shout to the government soldiers again, saying that they were looking for the prime minister and the eldest lady, but the government soldiers were impatient with her, and received Xue's money, so they had to go to the prime minister to report.

After a while, the prime minister did not come, but the butler next to the prime minister came.

"Aunt Xue, is there something wrong?" The housekeeper spoke politely, unlike other maids who only know how to hold high and step on low, he can see the long-term, no matter what the Xue family does, she is still looking for an aunt in the family, as long as she is in one day, she is half the master of this family.

"You told the prime minister that the slander of the eldest lady was because I was a little dizzy at the time, but Lianhua saw that the foreign man was real, and it was at the back door." Xue Shi put her posture very low, she wants to make up for her mistakes now, so that she can get out of the grounding.

"I'll tell you the truth, do you have anything else?"

"Also, I can be grounded first, but please send someone to guard the back door secretly, in case she goes to see her again in the past few days, the prime minister will know that I am not lying."

The housekeeper did not accept Xue's money, but still truthfully passed on what Xue's said to the prime minister.

At this time, the prime minister was with the eldest lady.

"Madam, do you think what Xue said is true?" The prime minister can understand the political countermeasures, but he can't understand these things in the backyard, so he rubbed his head sadly and asked the eldest lady.

The eldest lady also couldn't understand it, if the Xue family really wanted to frame Lin Zhiyu, there was no need to mention Lianhua at first, and if she took the initiative to frame her, she would definitely secretly put something in Lin Zhiyu's house that could arouse suspicion.

"Prime Minister, I think what Xue said may be true." The eldest lady analyzed it carefully, she has been grounded now, and what she should be thinking about is not how to continue to harm others, but to make up for her mistakes and free herself.

"What about her?" If there was really such a thing, it was impossible for Lin Zhiyu not to know, how could she also help Lianhua.

"After all, Lianhua has been with Yu'er since she was a child, and she already has feelings, so it's not incomprehensible to protect her." The eldest lady saw it thoroughly, but she was worried about this, she was afraid that Lin Zhiyu would take her feelings too seriously, and it would be good if she would be hurt by Lianhua in the future.

"What does the lady mean?"

"Just do what the Xue family said, secretly send a few people to watch at night, if someone really meets with a foreign man, it can clear up the prime minister's mansion for us."

Lin Zhijiao, who went out again, naturally didn't know that these things had happened in the house again, and she went to the pawn shop with a large bag of jewelry.

Lin Zhijiao was embarrassed and afraid of being recognized. So he put on a cloak and sneaked to the pawn shop again.

"Boss, pawn." Lin Zhijiao lowered her voice.

"Live or die?" The boss could only see the top of his head in a cloak from a high place, this kind of person was either secretly hiding from the family as a thing, or he was a young lady from a down-and-out family.

Lin Zhijiao gritted her teeth, anyway, she didn't like these anymore, and she would buy a new one when she had money.

"Die."

Such a dress is a choice to die, the boss is really happy in his heart, and he can make a lot of money again.

"Bring something."

Lin Zhijiao stood on tiptoe and handed over the burden, and the boss opened it and looked at them one by one, and his eyes lit up in an instant, they were all good things.

"You're not very good, but you can't be much."

"Bad condition? I bought it all from the best jewelry stores, do you know it?! As soon as Lin Zhijiao heard that the boss said that her jewelry was not in good condition, she immediately blew up the temple.

"I don't care where you bought it, it's not in good condition anyway, and it can't be a good price for me." The boss was unhurried to return the jewelry, and Lin Zhijiao was also panicked.

Forget it, be less and be less.

"Then you should."

The boss looked at them one by one, and then picked up a few more times on the abacus, and none of them almost lowered the price by forty percent.

"It's four hundred taels in total." The owner ended up offering a low enough price.

"Four hundred taels! When I bought these shoes, I almost spent nearly 700 taels! I'm damned! Lin Zhijiao was angry when she heard that the boss had pushed the price so low.

"You've already worn it out, so you have to depreciate it. It's good if you want to be an antique, the more years you go, the more valuable it becomes. "The boss just relied on Lin Zhijiao to use the money in a hurry, so he dared to open his mouth like this.

"Stay taller, or I won't be in your house." Lin Zhijiao is really anxious to ask for money, but no one can accept this price, even if it is worn, it can be at least about six hundred taels.

The boss took a few more calculations, "That's it, I'll give you a higher price depending on your young age, and four hundred and fifty taels can't be more." ”

Lin Zhijiao had no choice but to agree, and finally took her four hundred and fifty taels of silver tickets home.

Lin Zhijiao, who returned home, didn't go to look for the Xue family, anyway, the Xue family is now grounded, and even if she goes, she won't be able to see each other. It's better to give the money to Zhang Ze first, and talk about the rest later.

Lin Zhijiao calculated his money, the four hundred and fifty taels he got in exchange for the pawn, plus the three hundred taels he made up from rummaging through the cabinets before, adding up to only seven hundred and fifty taels, and there was still a difference of two hundred and fifty taels.

As long as she can contact her mother in a few days, isn't it easy to get two hundred and fifty taels?

After working all day, Lin Zhijiao didn't stay at home much, only came back at noon and took a shower and packed jewelry.

It's already dinner time at this time, Lin Zhijiao thought that they were eating together in the hall today as usual, thinking that someone was coming to look for her but she happened to be not at home, so she didn't know that no one came to her at all.

As night slowly fell, Lin Zhijiao's heart became more and more uneasy.
