As soon as Song Jin's words came out, Mrs. Pei's face changed, and Song Jin's and courtesies appeared in her room, how to explain this.

"Are you sure this is your gift?" Mrs. Pei walked over and said to Song Jin with angry eyes, wanting to use her coercion to force her to change her words, but Gu Yuyin learned to be clever and didn't say a word.

"Are you trying to force her to deny it?" Song Jiaqing saw Mrs. Pei's purpose, and said impatiently:

"I gave her this hairpin, so I naturally recognize it."

Song Jiaqing didn't give Song Jin many gifts, this hairpin is not even as good as the one Song Juntong wears on weekdays, but it is Song Jiaqing's gift to Song Jintong.

This made Song Hibiscus very happy at that time, and for a long time, he wore it every day. This hairpin is flashy on the surface, not made by a superior craftsman, if ordinary people wear it, it will only look vulgar, and on Song Hibiscus's head, it is her enchanting color that shows a little more, I heard that the people in the house have praised it, Song Hibiscus only thinks it is really good-looking, and it has been carrying, but recently, perhaps it is the original Song Hibiscus who is disappointed in Song Jiaqing, this hairpin was put aside at the bottom of the box, and Gu Yuyin also relied on some memories to take this risky move.

Now it seems to be working.

"How could Jin'er's hairpin be here with you?" Song Kaqing asked.

Mrs. Pei naturally didn't just want to do anything, so she had to try to push the pot on the maid, pointing to the maid who was bowing her head and said:

"Did you steal the second lady's hairpin and frame me?"

The maid's uneasiness was even greater, and she knelt down again and said to Song Kaqing:

"Master, it's not me, I really didn't steal the second lady's hairpin."

"Then why are you so afraid?" When the hairpin was broken just now, Song Jiaqing was also taken aback by the maid's reaction, a hairpin, the improper reaction was so strong.

The maid may really be a helper sent by Gu Yuyin, and she expressed her fear at this moment:

"Last time, Nian Nian broke one of his wife's hairpins, and he was sold to the Qinglou in Beishi."

What kind of place is Beishi, the people of Wuxiang City know it, the most obscure and dirty place for all pickled things, even the Qinglou there, is also a place where only the most inferior people will go, and a hairpin will be sold to the Qinglou, which is a bit excessive.

"Master, don't listen to her nonsense!" Mrs. Pei defended like this, but she didn't know that when she returned to her parents' house not long ago, a pair of old people came to the Song Mansion to look for relatives, so they cried and knelt in front of the sedan chair of Song Jiaqing's home, saying:

"I want to get my daughter back."

"What are you looking for your daughter to do at my house?" At that time, Song Jiaqing didn't know why, and one of the old men wiped away his tears and said:

"My lord, our daughter Nian Nian was sold into the Song Mansion as a slave for five years, and the deadline expired half a month ago, and Nian Nian also said that she would come back to visit our bad old man, but now, here, there is no news!"

People came and went on the street, and Song Jiaqing allowed the two to enter the house to talk in detail for the sake of face.

Sitting in the hall, he summoned the housekeeper and asked if he missed this woman as a slave in the Song Mansion, the housekeeper's eyes were evasive, and he didn't dare to look at the pair of old men who were already old, and only said:

"I remember, I remember as if there were."

"Where is that now?" Song Jiaqing thought that the housekeeper refused to release the person, and planned to pressure the housekeeper to release the person, but he didn't expect the housekeeper to insist:

"She left the house half a month ago, the deadline has expired, and we didn't keep her."

"Ah, my daughter!" The old man believed the housekeeper's words, thinking that his daughter had an accident on the way home, and the tears he had just collected fell again.

"You have also seen the old man," Song Kaqing said, "Your daughter Niannian is indeed not in this mansion. ”

"Yes, sir." Even if the two old men had more speculation in their hearts, they had to suppress it, they were poor families, and they couldn't fight the Song Mansion of this high-ranking mansion.

gave the two old men a reward of twenty taels of silver to go home, and Song Kaqing secretly spread the news, and at that time, it was rumored that Lord Song was kind-hearted, which was a good foundation for Song Kaqing's next career.

Song Jiaqing didn't expect this matter to be turned out again today, and the reciting of this name made him instantly remember this matter, so it is, it is so?!

Mrs. Pei's careless life was something he didn't expect, although he had also cleaned up many innocent people, but because of a hairpin, he would treat his subordinates like this, no wonder the atmosphere in the mansion would be like this, Song Jiaqing knew that he was about to be promoted to prime minister, and there were few people who would point fingers at the affairs of his house, and the more at such a critical moment, the more he could not make any mistakes.

Song Jiaqing said to Mrs. Pei: "Is this how you discipline your subordinates, a hairpin is a human life?!" ”

Mrs. Pei didn't know that Song Jiaqing knew the truth, thinking that he believed the words of the maid in front of him, and said categorically:

"This is absolutely unprecedented!"

Song Jiaqing sneered, he already knew that Mrs. Pei was such a person, and in front of his subordinates, he couldn't tell the truth and ruined Mrs. Pei's face, so he turned his head and talked about the original incident:

"That hibiscus hairpin, how do you explain it, a little maid must not have such a big courage!"

The second half of the sentence blocked Mrs. Pei's words that she wanted to justify, and she couldn't be blamed on the girl, and she really didn't have any reasonable arguments for a while.

At this moment, Mrs. Pei's married grandmother stood up and knelt down:

"Master, it was the old slave who was fascinated for a while, so he stole the second lady's hairpin."

Hearing Mama say this, Mrs. Pei instantly put her mind at ease and gave Mama a look, and Mama kowtowed her head in understanding and said:

"The old slave's child was sick, and the old slave thought about stealing the second lady's hairpin to sell it for money, but he didn't expect to be old, and when he came to bring water to his wife, he accidentally fell here."

"You wicked servant! The owner's things dare to steal too? Song Kaqing said angrily.

"Master, Mama Cai was also anxious for a while, and she did such a thing because she was concerned about her son, she is old, please forgive Mama Cai." At this time, Mrs. Pei became a speaker for others, smiling proudly.

Mama Cai is Mrs. Pei's person, her son is sick and has no money, so she doesn't go to Mrs. Pei, but steals Song Jin's hairpin, which is full of twists and turns Song Jiaqing can also see clearly, or always remember in her heart that Mrs. Pei is the main room, Song Jin is a little wronged, it is nothing, he cleared his throat and said to Mrs. Pei:

"Since Mama Cai is your person, this matter will be handled by you."

At the same time, he didn't forget to fight for some benefits for Song Jin, saying:

"Jin'er is dressed so elegantly, it's not as good as Juntong."

"Yes, yes, I will punish the servants in Jin'er's mansion when I go back, so that they don't dare to detain Jin'er again." Mrs. Pei almost didn't say directly that I regarded Song Jian as my own child, and Song Jiaqing was also very satisfied when he heard it, and the things in the house in the past two days made his self-esteem greatly satisfied, so he didn't go any further, and pointed out the hairpin matter here.

Just as Song Jiaqing was about to leave the Peach Blossom Pavilion, he remembered why he came, pointed to the housekeeper on the side and asked:

"Qing'er and Yan'er, can you find them?"

The butler shook his head and replied:

"This time, I really searched the whole house, and I really didn't see the maid next to the second lady."

At this time, Mrs. Pei took the initiative to jump out and die, saying:

"A few days ago, Yan'er told me that I saw Jin'er wearing a very valuable white jade bracelet, I don't know if it was given by someone, and now Yan'er, Qing'er is missing, but it's not just why."

Seeing Song Kaqing's suspicious gaze sweeping, Gu Yuyin expected that the fragments of the white jade bracelet would sink to the bottom of the well, and it would be difficult to find, so he denied it: "Where did my daughter get the white jade bracelet?" ”

Speaking of the white jade bracelet, Song Jiaqing remembered that Song Juntong had such a one, and he really didn't pay attention to Song Jin's wrist.

"Yan'er saw this." Gu Yuyin rolled up the sleeve on the right side, revealing his wrist, it was not a white jade bracelet, but an ordinary jade bracelet, which looked like a defective product, without the flawlessness of white jade.

This is also Gu Yuyin turned over on Song Jin's dresser, because I don't know if anyone else has seen the white jade bracelet worn on Song Jin's wrist, so he simply put this on, in case the white jade bracelet was poked out.

"I don't know what white jade bracelets you saw when you searched my plum garden." Gu Yuyin asked, and none of the servants at the moment dared to speak, and shook their heads one after another.

Song Kaqing was a little irritated by Mrs. Pei's aggressiveness, and said directly:

"Such a bracelet is also called a white jade bracelet? I look at Juntong's bracelet, it's good, why does the second daughter wear such a thing. ”

The broken hairpin, this dusty bracelet, all reveal how bad Song Jin's treatment in the mansion is on weekdays, Song Jiaqing fell into Gu Yuyin's trap today, and finally saw all this through.

"If you can't be a mother, there are other people who can be good!" Song Jiaqing said this heartlessly, and Mrs. Pei at this moment knew that she was in the wrong and did not plead.

Gu Yuyin took the opportunity to add fuel and vinegar at this time:

"Don't be angry with my father, my mother will sometimes give me new clothes."

"Sometimes?" At this moment, Song Kaqing really seemed to be a father who cared about his daughter, and asked:

"You don't have three new outfits a season?"

"Ah, there are three new outfits every season." Gu Yuyin pretended to be surprised, as the eldest daughter of Prime Minister Gu, her clothes are naturally countless, and she will not pay special attention to the new clothes of each season.

Seeing that Song Jin was wearing an outdated old style, Song Jin also said that it was a new dress given by Mrs. Pei, without any cover-up, naturally, although the housekeeper came out again to take the blame, Song Jiaqing was still dissatisfied, and said to Mrs. Pei:

"Take a good look at your house, what kind of mess has become of it! Hmph, I will have to make up for what I deducted in the past in the near future! ”

The bad heart of the morning made Song Jiaqing feel a little sympathy for this concubine who didn't like it on weekdays, looked at Song Hibiscus and said:

"Go to the bookkeeper and pay fifty taels of silver, and buy something you want."

Mrs. Pei gritted her teeth and swallowed in her stomach, and could only say, "Yes, master." ”

And Gu Yuyin looked at Song Jiaqing happily and said, "Thank you, father!" ”

With a bit of girlish innocence, Song Jiaqing nodded with satisfaction.
