Chapter 44: Catch the thief and catch the stolen goods
Qiu Pozi looked at these many treasures, and felt incredulous for a while: "These ...... It's all ours?"
She felt like she was dreaming, and she deliberately took a golden hairpin and bit it with her teeth, it felt really real, it was clearly not a dream, but it was more confusing than a dream.
has been poor all her life, and now that her daughter is out of business, she has so much money all of a sudden, and pie in the sky is this.
Qiu Ju was afraid that her mother would bite it, so she hurriedly snatched it down and said: "Mother, don't patronize and be happy, don't forget what I said, take it and exchange it for silver to keep, remember a little bit, you have to find a place for the living, it doesn't matter how much the price is, don't quarrel with people, remember?"
She said such a serious book, but Mrs. Qiu didn't take it seriously: "What are you doing, how handsome this hairpin is, how good it is to keep it for yourself, your mother and I don't have the money to buy such beautiful jewelry in my life......"
"Mother!" Qiu Ju was anxious, "These things must be taken care of, and they can't be kept ......"
When she said this, she suddenly realized that she had lost her words, and hurriedly shut up, but it was too late, and Mrs. Qiu realized that something was wrong: "Why can't you stay, isn't these things coming from the wrong way?"
"No, no, these are all things that the master has rewarded, but the Master of Zhuangzi has a lot of eyes, and keeping this pile of things will not attract a lot of right and wrong one day, but it is better to change the silver to be clean...... Besides, when there is money, these things are not as useful as silver!"
"Yes, no matter how valuable things are, they are no more useful than the silver itself, you are obedient. ”
It was Xie Fuyao who spoke.
Qiu Ju watched in disbelief as Xie Fuyao led Ziyun in from outside, and her eyes widened in surprise, didn't she bolt the door when she came in just now?
Mrs. Qiu was also very surprised, she had been away from Xie Mansion for many years, and she didn't know Xie Fuyao, and when she saw her swaggering in, she was suddenly displeased, and shouted loudly: "Who are you? What are you doing casually in other people's houses? Get out, get out!"
While shouting, she didn't forget to quickly cover the things on the table, for fear that someone would see it.
Xie Fu shook his smile, that kind of smile looked very harmless, but it was as cold as a poisonous snake: "Who am I, Qiu Ju, didn't you tell your mother, who I am?"
Qiu Ju was speechless in astonishment, and only then did she find her voice: "County...... County Lord, why are you here?"
"County lord?" Mrs. Qiu thought she had heard it wrong, she didn't know that Xie Fuyao had sealed the county lord, looking at her extraordinary demeanor, she also had a maid by her side, and it was not an exaggeration to say that she was the county lord.
Mrs. Qiu hurriedly knelt down and called for peace, these masters and they can't afford to offend one of them, regardless of whether she is or not, it's always good to ask for peace first.
Xie Fuyao said again: "Qiu Ju, listening to your mother's angry voice, it seems that she is an old man." ”
Qiu Ju pretended to be calm: "Thanks to the blessing of the county lord, my mother is much better." ”
As if he had suddenly discovered something, Ziyun rushed forward and lifted his baggage, and exclaimed, "Huh, county lord, isn't this what you lost before? Why are there a lot of them here? Could it be that there are thieves in our yard, and the thieves have hidden everything here?"
Xie Fuyao also pretended to glance at it and nodded: "Well, it's good, I can't find this golden hairpin for a long time, but now it appears here, Qiu Ju, how do you explain it?"
Qiu Ju's heart tightened, and she spread it to protect the burden and said: "County Lord, even if you are the master, you can't mess with my things!"
Mrs. Qiu was confused when she heard it, what a thief, what was lost, she didn't know what was wrong, but she also knew that it was not a good thing, and instinctively defended her daughter: "Miss County Lord, it's not like this, these things are all given to her by my daughter's master, but there is no such thing as a thief or a thief, don't wronged a good person by the county lord!"
Xie Fuyao sneered disdainfully: "Really, I don't remember what I rewarded." ”
Qiu Ju stiffened his neck and said stiffly: "The nobles forget a lot of things, and there are a lot of things that the master rewards, but not necessarily everything the master can remember, and there are also people who forget." These things were given to the slave and maid, and now the slave and maid take them back and deal with them themselves, and the master has no right to dispose of them!"
Seeing that her daughter was so determined, Mrs. Qiu also felt that these things could never be stolen, and her waist stiffened: "Yes, since it has been rewarded, it is naturally our thing, where did the thief steal these words, it has ruined our reputation!"
Xie Fuyao saw that Qiu Ju was still so hard-mouthed, and his eyes suddenly cooled: "You are my handmaid, that is, my private property, your things are naturally my things, I never said that these things can belong to you, so these things appear here and you are naturally stealing." ”
The more Xie Fuyao spoke, the colder and more severe his voice became, and in the end Qiu Ju couldn't stand anymore, so he sat on the ground with a plop, but his mouth was still stubborn: "The county lord is slandering! I know that you have been looking at me unpleasantly, and you want to use this thing as a raft except for me, so you say this!"
She is greedy for wealth, but she is also timid, and now she was discovered without warning, Qiu Ju also guessed that she was probably in Xie Fuyao's trap.
Now she can only refuse to admit it, Xie Fuyao has no choice, go back and let the eldest lady come forward to press Xie Fuyao, she can still get out, once she admits it, then there is no chance at all.
Mrs. Qiu was shocked and angry, she didn't want or believe that her daughter would steal things, so she naturally spoke for her daughter: "Even if the county lord is the master, he can't wronged people like this, we Qiu Ju said that he didn't steal anything, what's the matter if the county lord doesn't give up?"
Ziyun snorted and said, "I'll cut off one of your hands, and then I won't admit it, and then let you act as if nothing happened, are you willing?"
Mrs. Qiu didn't expect the beautiful maid beside Xie Fuyao to speak so well, and she was blocked and speechless for a while.
Xie Fu shook his voice and said: "Qiu Ju, as my maidservant, your hands and feet are not clean, you steal property, and now everyone has stolen money, what else do you have to say?"
Qiu Ju gritted her teeth fiercely, thinking that she had torn her face anyway, so she simply glared at Xie Fuyao angrily, and said toughly: "The county lord has evidence when he speaks, what evidence do you have to prove that these things were stolen by me, and not rewarded by the master next to me?"
Mrs. Qiu also said arrogantly: "That is, there must be evidence when you speak, what evidence do you have, take it out and take a look!"
Xie Fuyao was too lazy to entangle with the two of them, nodded at Ziyun, Ziyun understood, stepped forward and took out a small bottle and shook it in front of Qiu Ju, Qiu Ju immediately weakened and fell to the ground.
Seeing this, Mrs. Qiu hugged Qiu Ju and shook her desperately: "Qiu Ju, girl...... Wake up...... What did you do to my daughter? You little hoof, what did you do to my daughter......
Ziyun said calmly: "It's just a fragrance, we have to take her back to Xie Mansion to deal with it, I'm afraid that she will be dishonest on the road, and she will use some tricks, don't worry, people can't die." ”
