What the cook didn't know was that the old lady and the two ladies were being called together by the old man at this time to ask about the teapot, and all the subordinates had put down their work and were chatting with Li Qiang and Jiang Yan.

And because the cook was the first person in the family to get up, he was the only one who was missed.

The cook needs to keep an eye on the food on the fire, and he doesn't dare to leave easily, if he leaves, the master suddenly comes over and asks why the food is cold, and he can't tell if he can't tell it?

So he added a scoop of water to the porridge again, looked at the pot of gruel that had almost turned into mush, and felt that his craft had been challenged like never before.

In the old lady's room, the family was gathering together, looking at the teapot in front of them and worrying.

Naturally, the worry is not because no one knows this teapot, but because someone knows this teapot.

It is the second wife of the Zhang family.

When the second wife was called into the house by the master, she was still wondering why all the subordinates stopped working today, not only did no one serve her to wash, but there was not even a person who poured the night bucket, which was really unusual.

Just when she was unkempt and wanted to complain to the master, she saw that Zhang Dacai's tired look couldn't be concealed, and the dark circles on her eyes were like heavy grinding blocks.

However, the reason why the second wife did not dare to speak was that the master's face was extremely ugly, and she had only seen this expression once, that is, when the master's goods were robbed by mountain bandits.

Zhang Dacai beckoned her to hurry to the main hall, and if she had something to say, she didn't care about her appearance, so she followed Zhang Dacai to the main hall step by step.

When she entered the door, she raised her eyes slightly, and saw that the old lady and her sister were also in a similar state to herself, and the second wife knew that things were a little unusual, and she sighed in her heart.

She saluted her mother and sister, and when she looked up, she saw the teapot in front of her.

The second wife turned happy and said, "Isn't this my pot!?" ”

Zhang Dacai also sighed in his heart.

As soon as he turned his head, his eyes widened, he grabbed the second wife's arm, and asked loudly, "This thing is yours?!" ”

The second wife was obviously taken aback by the master's unusual reaction, and stammered a little: "Yes... Oh, yes. ”

"Tell me what the hell is going on with this thing!" Zhang Dacai said sharply.

"Oh, what are you doing, the family has something to say." The eldest lady hurriedly stepped forward to break Zhang Dacai's hand and persuaded.

"You, you, you've caused a big disaster for our family!" Zhang Dacai pointed to the second wife's face, gritted his teeth and said.

"Son, what's going on?" The old lady saw that her son's state was so abnormal, and hurriedly asked.

The second wife's tears were already beginning to roll in her eyes.

"Yesterday there was a death in our wine cellar, and now the body is still in the courtyard, and when he died, he carried this teapot in his arms!" Zhang Dacai said.

The old lady's heart chuckled.

"How is this good, or let's report to the official." The old lady said.

"The companions of the people were by my side at the time, all of them were immortals who came and went, that is, they escorted me all the way back from Liyang, and now they are still in the courtyard to understand the situation with our family, and now I go to report to the official, I am afraid that it will be a ruin!"

The eldest lady also chuckled in her heart.

Zhang Dacai's words were a bit alarmist, but he really didn't want to tell Uncle Zong's affairs to his family, because this might also put his family in danger.

What's more, the three women in the family will definitely choose to help their relatives or not help them on many issues, and it is difficult for them to believe what they say.

So I thought about it, if anyone in the family knew this teapot, I could only use this method to scare and scare, and see if I could ask something quietly.

This is the method set by Li Qiang and Zhang Dacai.

From the moment I entered the door to the present, the family was neat and tidy, and one person chuckled in his heart.

"Then since this teapot has been recovered, we have not accused each other of stealing, how can we still be blamed?" The eldest lady asked.

"I ask you, where did you get this teapot from, and when did you lose it?" Zhang Dacai asked the second wife.

The second wife thought for a while, and said uncertainly: "I have the impression that since I married into the Zhang family, this teapot is placed on the multi-treasure shelf in my room, where it came from, I really don't know, as for the loss, because the position it is placed is really inconspicuous, I suddenly saw it missing when I was looking for something one day, I thought it was someone whose hands and feet were not clean, and secretly took it." ”

"And then?" Zhang Dacai continued to ask.

"Then I called Uncle Zong over and asked him if he had seen this teapot." The second wife continued while recalling: "As a result, the expression on Uncle Zong's face looks more anxious than you are now, and I don't need to tell you about this matter, he will tell you when he comes back, and then he left in a hurry." The second wife recalled the scene of that day and said to Zhang Dacai.

"That day, Uncle Zong asked when he saw someone, did you see a teapot, except for the people who cleaned the room, we didn't have the call of the master's family, how dare we enter the master's house, so we told Uncle Zong truthfully that I didn't see it."

"But that day, the maid in the second wife's room suddenly disappeared, and she didn't know where she went, and she didn't take anything with her, and such a big living person disappeared as if she had disappeared out of thin air."

"Don't say it, if the second wife is really bad to others, and if she doesn't like it, she will beat and scold them at every turn, where will she force people to leave."

"That's right, the old lady of our family, the second wife, has a slightly bigger temper, but people actually say that in the past, you have to follow her."

A bunch of subordinates, you and I say a word, explaining the situation to Li Qiang and Jiang Yan.

"Did you hear from that maid later?" Li Qiang asked.

Everyone shook their heads.

"Do you remember when this happened?" Li Qiang asked again.

"It happened about three months ago." A subordinate affirmed.

"Oh? How can you be so sure? Li Qiang asked.

"Because it was cold in less than two days, this is a cold spring, I just put away the thick quilt of the lord and the lady, and it was cleaned up again in a few days, because she was not there, so it was the room I cleaned up for the second wife at that time." An older subordinate said.

"Then you say, what happened three months ago, are people stupid? You took the stolen goods back to our house and died?! Zhang Dacai shouted at the second wife.

"Alas, there are only a few of us women at home, how good is this!" The old lady had already begun to shed tears by this time.
