Qiao Shi was so angry that he smashed three sets of favorite tea sets in a row and lost his temper.

"Check it out! Which little hoof deceived the upper and lower levels and secretly put the white jade statue in?! ”

Qiao's private treasury has always been closely watched, and those who can enter are trusted by her, but now that there is such a big mistake, Qiao's looks at everyone suspiciously, and feels that everyone seems to be innocent, but he feels that everyone is suspicious.

Qiao Shi said: "Mother Xu, the key to the private vault has always been kept by you, have you ever missed it?" ”

Qiao's expression was serious, and Mother Xu didn't dare to slack off, so she immediately knelt down and said respectfully: "Mrs. Hui, the key has always been on the old slave, only a few days ago, when the housekeeper sent a few pieces of cloth, and three new cloaks made this winter, as well as silver silk carbon, the door of the warehouse was opened, and in addition, the key has been on the old slave and has never been lost." ”

The person who was called by Qiao to inspect the doors and windows of the warehouse also arched his hand and said: "Madam, the lock of the warehouse door is intact, there is no trace of anyone prying, and the window screen is also very complete and not damaged, the thief must have entered the door by opening the lock normally." ”

This means that it is Xu's mother's fault.

How could Mother Xu admit it, and immediately glared at the man, "Don't spew blood." ”

He kowtowed to Qiao's again, "Madam, you know the old slave, the old slave is loyal to you, the key to the treasury is kept in the hands of the old slave, and there has never been a mistake, this time it is definitely not the old slave's doing." ”

After she kowtowed, a pair of old eyes swept to a piece of maid and woman kneeling behind her, and said hatefully: "Isn't it that you betrayed the Lord to seek glory, put the Guanyin statue in the treasury without permission, and framed me, and didn't recruit it from the truth?" ”

Yanluo is also in the maid's wife, although she is young, she has always been smart and clever, and Qiao's values her very much, otherwise she would not be mentioned as a personal maid.

Yanluo was very dissatisfied with Xu's mother and even scolded her, and raised her head.

"Mother Xu's words are wrong, this master said, the doors and windows of the warehouse are intact, there is no trace of external force breaking in, you can only use the key to open the door and enter, Mother Xu said that the key has been kept in your own hands, but came to reprimand us for smuggling things in."

Yanluo smiled sarcastically, "We don't have a key, how can we get in?" ”

When the maids and daughters-in-law saw that someone was speaking for them, they all echoed, and the room suddenly fell to one side, and they all looked at Mother Xu with flickering eyes.

Mother Xu was stunned for a moment, and immediately cried: "Does Madam still doubt the old slave's loyalty? The old slave watched you grow up. ”

Qiao's family also doubted Shangxu's mother, and his heart wandered.

The reason why he didn't give the order for a long time, but he was also hesitating, after all, it was Xu's mother who raised her milk, and the nurse and the master were really grasshoppers on a rope, tied together.

She has always trusted Mother Xu, and it will not benefit her if Mother Xu does this kind of thing, unless she has already fallen to the son.

Once he had this suspicion in his heart, Qiao looked at Mother Xu, and the more he looked like it.

Mother Xu saw Qiao's expression, as her nurse, could she not know what she was thinking?

She burst into tears, "Madam, the old slave watched you grow up, and loves you as her own daughter, and will never betray you and do such a thing." ”

Her voice was so loud that Qiao's was so loud that she had a headache, "Okay, what are you doing so loudly, people can hear it, and I think Mrs. Ben is abusing you." ”

Mother Xu's voice immediately shrank a few points, a lot older, and her figure knelt on the ground with a stiff figure, so pitiful.

Qiao couldn't bear it after all, so he said: "I didn't say it was you, get up, what does it matter if you make it like this, and don't take Mother Xu back to rest." ”

"Yes." A few maids got up and helped Mother Xu up lightly.

Qiao Shi rubbed the corners of her forehead, and the other maids got up and rushed out, only Yanluo stayed, stood behind Qiao Shi, and gently rubbed her forehead.

"Madame just let it go?" Yanluo said dissatisfied.

Qiao Shi closed his eyes, "What, what else do you want Mother Xu to do?" ”

Yanluo is young and vigorous, and is trusted by Mrs., but she actually doesn't look down on Xu's mother in her heart, and always feels that she is looking ahead and backwards, and often persuades Mrs. that this is not good, that is not good, it is simply pedantic.

But Mrs. likes to listen to her, after all, she is Mrs. Nurse, and others can't compare.

Yanluo didn't want Mrs. to feel that she rejected Mother Xu, but she had to say it.

She whispered: "It's not that the slave maid is against Mother Xu, it's the evidence here, which points to Mother Xu alone, and Mrs. can't always listen to one person." ”

Qiao's didn't speak for a long time, and Yanluo was so apprehensive.

After a while, I heard Qiao Shi say: "You go out, Mrs. Ben is quiet alone." ”

Yanluo withdrew her hand, "Yes." ”

And he went out.

Qiao's didn't pursue it on the surface, but in fact, she kept sending someone to investigate in private, she didn't believe that Mother Xu would do such a thing, it must be someone else who splashed dirty water, she wanted to see which of her subordinates was wrong.

As a result, after the results of the tracing came out, Qiao's mood was complicated.

It just so happened that Xu's mother came in with refreshments, and Qiao's directly threw the things she found to her.

Mother Xu smiled and said, "Madam, what is this?" ”

"See for yourself."

After Xu's mother saw it, her face was bloody.

Immediately knelt down, "Madame, this matter, the old slave really doesn't know about this matter." ”

Qiao Shi snorted coldly and ordered, "Bring someone over." ”

The little guys brought the person, the man looked loyal and honest, and when he came in, he was still thinking about dying and struggling, and was pulled by Xu's mother's ears, and after reading the confessions that had been investigated, he was called.

If this person is seen by Lu Yunyao, he will not be unfamiliar, he is the housekeeper of the Hou Mansion, surnamed Lin, and the only child of Madame's mother Xu and her husband who died early.

Mother Xu didn't need Qiao's people to do it, she started it herself, opened the bow left and right, and slapped Steward Lin several times, showing no mercy at all.

Compared with the vicissitudes of life of Mother Xu, although she is not young, she has been pampered by Mother Xu since she was a child, and she has fine skin and tender meat, and her skin is very good.

Otherwise, he would not have become the housekeeper of the Hou Mansion, and he would be able to treat guests on weekdays, which can be regarded as the façade of the Hou Mansion.

Steward Lin's biological father died early, Xu's mother pitied him for having no father since he was a child, and gave him all her maternal love.

Joe turned his face away in disgust.

At the beginning, it was Xu's mother who felt sorry for her son and couldn't achieve anything, so she begged Mrs. with a shy face, which allowed him to enter the Hou Mansion.

Xu's mother is his wife's confidant, and it is not easy to support her son, so she promotes him step by step, and when the previous housekeeper returns to his hometown, Steward Lin naturally becomes a trusted housekeeper.

Usually I am very close to Qiao's family, and if I have any good things, I want to send them over first.
