When you go out to eat with Hou Ye, you naturally want to sit in the best private room, eat the most expensive dishes, and drink the strongest wine......

Ye Jinyu looked down at the steaming milk in her hand, and instantly hid her arrogance, okay, she thought too much.

During the meal, the private room was quiet, and only the faint sound of chewing and drinking water could be heard. Ye Jinyu quietly glanced at Li Sui a few times, and finally found that he still had an advantage in him.

is worthy of being raised by a big family, and the etiquette is really meticulous, and the elegance and nobility that exudes from the bones are incomparable to the flashy appearance.

I have to admit that eating at the same table with him is also another visual enjoyment, and this man's every move looks like a painting.

When Li Sui put down the chopsticks, Ye Jinyu had just finished drinking the bowl of milk, she put the bowl down, and heard the man ask, "Where do you want to go next?" ”

"Aren't you going back to the Hou Mansion?" Ye Jinyu was slightly surprised.

Li Sui moved his Adam's apple, and wanted to say: Thinking that you are so well-behaved today, Ben Hou will be merciful to accompany you for a walk.

But when he heard the woman's tone, he suddenly realized that his thoughts were very inappropriate, and immediately changed his words, "Go home." ”

After that, she got up and walked out first, but Ye Jinyu was annoyed at this time, why did she ask more, she should have said directly that she was shopping in Nanshi.

The hard-won opportunity to leave the mansion was wasted, she had to understand the terrain here first, and if she had the opportunity to escape from the Hou Mansion in the future, she wouldn't have to bump around like a headless fly.

Distressed back to Ruchu Garden, Qin Miaoyin was already waiting in her room, and before the two could chat a few words, An Rumeng suddenly came over with her maid.

Different from the past, he frowned coldly, but now he shrugged his eyebrows and his face was full of sorrow, and when he saw Ye Jinyu, he immediately knelt down and cried: "Sister Yi, I, I'm sorry for you, I blame me for my poor supervision, and I actually lost the hundred taels of silver that my sister gave me." This is the reward of the Hou Ye......"

Ye Jinyu and Qin Miaoyin were both shocked by her sudden move.

Anru Meng was still crying, "I, I didn't dare to enjoy it, so I wanted to take care of my sister's good life, but who knew that there was a thief in the courtyard...... It's all my fault, it's me who didn't keep it, if my sister thinks it's necessary, I will immediately go to the Hou Ye to ask for guilt......"

Ye Jinyu quickly came back to his senses, and when he heard that he finally seemed to understand the other party's intentions, he couldn't cry or laugh in his heart. This Anjou dream, in order to hook up with Hou Ye, is really willing to do any trick.

"Okay, you can go." Ye Jinyu pretended to be embarrassed as she wished, and said: "The silver taels are the reward of the Hou Ye, which is given to you, and now if something happens, you have to give the Hou Ye an explanation." ”

Anru Meng was stunned for a moment, probably not expecting things to go so smoothly, and was silent for a moment before nodding and asking, "Can you please come with my sister Yi?" I'm scared alone, Hou Ye loves his sister the most, and he won't ...... if he has a sister in Hou Ye."

"Miss An, I'm afraid I can't help with this favor, I just angered Master Hou today, and he is angry now. If I go with you, it's only going to make things worse. Ye Jinyu didn't wait for her to finish speaking, and immediately refused.

Anjou dreamed of using the silver to attract the attention and pity of the Hou Ye, but she couldn't care about it and didn't want to take care of it. But if the other party wants to use her as a springboard, I'm sorry, she's not a fool.

"Sister Yi, I, I'm afraid that Master Hou won't see me, if you directly order me to ......" An Rumeng suddenly threw herself on Ye Jinyu's lap and cried.

Ye Jinyu immediately took a step back, and An Rumeng's hand could only touch the hem of her skirt, and was knocked out by Ling Zhao, who was blocking in front of her.

"Miss An, if you mess around like this again, don't blame me for going to Master Hou first to explain these things. At that point, you've lost a chance. Ling Zhao frowned.

Anru Menghe had seen such an arrogant servant girl, she was shocked and angry, staring at Ling Zhao and not daring to go any further, she knelt down for a moment before slowly standing up, "Since my sister refuses to help me, then I will go by myself and say goodbye." ”

As soon as Anru Meng's master and servant disappeared outside the door, Qin Miaoyin frowned and said, "She is really getting more and more tricky now, and she is not afraid of angering Hou Ye, and she can't even save her life." ”

After An Rumeng left, Qin Miaoyin stayed in Ye Jinyu's house for a while. Perhaps out of her understanding and suspicion of Anjou's dream, she immediately checked her head after she returned.

It turned out that the things that were locked in the box were gone.

She was also worried that she had misremembered the place, so she ordered someone to rummage through all corners of the room, but found nothing. immediately panicked, and hurriedly ran back to Ye Jinyu.

"Sister Yi, something is wrong, it turns out that our yard has really been robbed."

Ye Jinyu watched Qin Miaoyin go and return, closed the door in a panic, and yelled at her.

"Why, you lost something too?" Ye Jinyu came back to his senses, and his reaction was quite calm.

Qin Miaoyin nodded again and again, "Yes, yes, yes, the set of heads and faces that my sister gave me was lost." This thief is too powerful, I locked that thing in a big wooden box, and it was stolen without knowing it. ”

Ye Jinyu's face was slightly gloomy, and he asked, "Has the lock been pried open?" Have you been in the house since yesterday? ”

"The lock is intact, yes, I've always had someone in the house." Qin Miaoyin replied with certainty.

Ye Jinyu was silent for a moment, and then asked her, "What about last night, was there anything abnormal?" ”

Qin Miaoyin lowered her head and recalled, and after a while, she said uncertainly: "I rested in my sister's house last night, and Yulian and Mo Ran stayed in my room. I asked them just now, and they all said that they slept very deeply last night and didn't hear anything. ”

"Do they usually sleep deeply?" Ye Jinyu asked. Colorful Chinese

Qin Miaoyin glanced at the fish lotus next to her and said, "They usually have to keep vigil, so they feel shallow." But I'm sure Yulian won't lie, they may have been drugged. ”

"Who is in charge of the key to the wooden box?" Ye Jinyu asked again.

"These important things have always been entrusted to Yulian for safekeeping." Qin Miaoyin said truthfully.

Ye Jinyu looked at Yulian, who immediately knelt down and explained: "The slave maid and Sister Mo Ran live together, and many things are inconvenient to put in their own room, so the key has actually been hidden by the slave maid in the secret compartment under the girl's bed. It was made by the slave and maid herself, and no one else would know about it except the girl. ”

If it weren't for Yulian's self-theft, could it be that Mo Ran had already discovered her habit of hiding things, and just took advantage of last night's opportunity to steal her head? That set is worth a lot of money. Of course, it cannot be ruled out that thieves are good at picking locks, and they can steal things perfectly even without a key.

"Ling Zhao, you check and see who has lost something in the house." Ye Jinyu just ordered me, and suddenly thought of something, and hurriedly added: "Remember to be quiet, don't startle the snake, and by the way, look for it again, whether the stolen goods are still left in the original garden." ”

Ling Zhao immediately took the order and left, and did not return until midnight.

"How?" Ye Jinyu poured a glass of water and handed it to the other party.

Ling Zhao finished drinking before he said, "I've searched every corner of Ruchu Garden, and the things are no longer here. I went outside each girl's room to observe again, and from the conversations I heard, all the things that the Hou Ye had rewarded were lost. ”

"Only there are no thieves in our house, and the fox fur is still there." Ye Jinyu's tone was not very good, this situation was too wrong.

She was worried that people would be jealous of the reward if she gave too much, so she divided everything away, and who wanted to dig a big hole for herself.

Is this thief really a money obsesser? Or do you want to use this against her?

"Ling Zhao, has Miss An gone to see Master Hou?" Ye Jinyu asked with a solemn face.

Ling Zhao shook his head, "I didn't see it, the request was rejected, but I didn't explicitly say that I was going to ask for sin." ”

Ye Jinyu and Qin Miaoyin glanced at each other, if An Rumeng really wanted to ask for guilt, how could she not say anything, she knew that ordinary requests to see would be rejected.

So why did she come here to cry? Is it disgusting to her, or is it intentional?

"Ling Zhao, can you find out the movements of An Rumeng and the people around her in the past two days?" Ye Jinyu frowned, and his eyes suddenly became fierce.

Ling Zhao thought for a moment before saying, "I'll do my best." With that, he withdrew again.

In the middle of the night, the lights were still on in the study of Shen Ge, Li Sui thought about it for an afternoon, and finally decided to lift the focus of "care" for Ye Jinyu. He had just called the lark over and was about to explain the matter, when the head of the guard, Qu Yu, suddenly came over and said that he had something important to report.

"What?" Li Sui saw that he deliberately closed the door, and couldn't help but raise his eyebrows.

Qu Yu pondered for a moment and reported: "An hour ago, someone came to his subordinates to expose that someone in Ruchu Garden secretly Chen Cang took the things in the house and went out to sell them......

Li Sui's face was not very clear, he couldn't see his joy or anger, he quietly listened to Qu Sui's report and slowly understood the situation.

When he heard the name Ye Rutong, there was no trace of surprise in his heart, it was better to say that when he learned that something had happened, he had already guessed that it would be related to this woman.

The reward was given to Ye Rutong on his own initiative, and it stands to reason that she can dispose of it as she wants, and there is no problem in giving it away or using it. However, if it is used for profit, such as selling or purchasing land, or putting it into trading, this is not allowed in the back house.

This kind of thing has happened in the capital before, and those women were either swept out of the house or beaten up, and there was no chance to turn over, and it would become a joke in the mouth of others and a shame for the mother's family.

The matter was big, and his subordinates didn't dare to believe it, so they secretly investigated it first. In the end, I learned that Miss Ye had given those rewards to several other girls on the surface, but the things were stolen that night, and the gods lost them without realizing it. ”

"And there were no suspicious people in the Ruchu Garden that night, and among the several girls, only Miss Ye had practiced kung fu, and she had the ability to do these things......"

Then why did she sell her jewelry to subsidize her mother's family? Or do you use it yourself? Li Sui chuckled, as if he had heard an extremely funny joke.

Ye Rutong has no father or mother, and the Qi family does not need her to be supported by a woman, and she is not short of expenses. What the Qi Mansion gave, what the Hou Ye rewarded, and the monthly silver issued by the mansion, she took it out and squandered it, and she could last at least ten days.

The lark said beside him: "The villain thinks that Miss Ye is not like a poor and extravagant person, she rarely goes out of the house, and she doesn't need much silver at all. ”

After listening to his words, Qu Yu automatically ignored Ye Jinyu's motives, and continued to report in a good manner: "The subordinates didn't dare to make up their minds easily, so they went to the pawnshop that sold the jewelry to investigate, and the shopkeeper and the guy there said that the person who came to sell things was a young girl. ”

"Listening to their description, that girl is not like the people in our house, so my subordinates have asked someone to draw a portrait and have sent someone to find her whereabouts."

"Find the person as quickly as possible, and ask how it got to her." Li Sui commanded.

Qu Yu hurriedly responded.

Li Yi thought for a while and then ordered: "Investigate the people in the original garden again, and investigate each one carefully." Also, don't say anything about this until you have clear evidence. If there is a leak, you are the only one who asks. ”

Qu Yu immediately assured, "The subordinates will not fail in their mission." ”

Li Yi waved his hand and told him to stand down.
