Chapter 159: What does the young lady know
159
In May, the sun had just risen a pole high and it was hot.
In front of the hall, the two milk swallows that have just come out of the nest are learning to fly under the leadership of the mother swallow, and the little swallows are timid and dare not fly down from the roof.
The mother swallow murmured, really like a loving mother teaching her young son, and let the little swallow fly down from the eaves.
The housekeeper of the Jade Mansion lifted the corner of his robe with one hand and walked in quickly. In a hurry, he frightened the two milk swallows that fell to the ground and flew around.
In the house, the Yan family was talking to Yu Gui's wife, Sui, because it was almost the birthday of the old lady of the Yu family, and the two of them were discussing what birthday gifts to prepare this year.
The old lady Yu is very good Buddha, and after Zhishi, he does not live in the house, but only cultivates in the temple.
Every year, during the New Year's festival or birthday, only the children and grandchildren go to the temple to greet them, and the old lady never comes home.
As soon as the housekeeper entered the door, Yan saw that his expression was not quite right, so he asked, "You are in such a panic, is something wrong?" ”
The housekeeper said carefully: "Madame, someone from the Criminal Department is here, saying that there is something to ask the eldest lady of our family." ”
When Yan heard this, he couldn't help frowning, Yu Rubi was a young lady from an official family, and it was easy not to see these people in the public family.
So he said, "The eldest lady is sick now, what is there to ask?" ”
Seeing that this meant that he didn't want Yu Rubi to come out, the housekeeper had no choice but to say: "Madam, now that Lord Yuan from the Criminal Department is here in person, I'm afraid that there is something important." ”
Yuan Wensheng's official rank was one level higher than that of Uncle Yu, and when he came to the Yan clan in person, he couldn't shirk it, and said, "In this case, let's invite them to the front hall for tea first." ”
But after all, he was a little reluctant and said: "It's just that a girl is dead, why is it so troublesome!" ”
Sui Shi said on the side: "Don't you have something else to do, right?" ”
When Yan heard this, he said: "What can happen, this Yuan Wensheng is the most left-hearted person." Now that Lord Shangshu is sick, he has set himself up as king. ”
As he spoke, he got up and went forward, and the Sui family naturally accompanied him.
Yan walked to the door and said to the maid beside him, "Go and ask the eldest lady to come to the front." ”
Yu Rubi is really sick, after some fright, she stayed up in the wild all night, coupled with worry, how can she hold on to a weak boudoir?
When Yan's girl came to invite her, Yu Rubi was lying quietly in the house.
Gardenia brought the snacks sent by Zhou Yichen and persuaded her to eat them, but how could she have an appetite.
Gardenia couldn't persuade her to drink tea, and was about to pour tea, when Yan's girl entered the house.
After inviting An, he said: "Miss, Madame, please go to the front, saying that Lord Yuan of the Criminal Department is here, and I have a few words to ask." ”
Yu Rubi didn't know what was going on, struggled to get up, got dressed, and helped the gardenia out the door and walked forward.
When I entered the front hall, I naturally had to say hello first.
Yuan Shengwen is the first time to see jade, but I have long heard that this daughter of the jade family has a very color, and today I see it is indeed worthy of the name, although a little haggard, but the whole person is still very beautiful, and the country is captivating.
Yan asked Yu Rubi to sit down, then turned his face and asked, "Lord Yuan, I don't know what to ask?" ”
Yuan Wensheng coughed lightly and said, "I have two things here, I want to ask Miss Yu to take a look." ”
As he spoke, he took out a hosta and a jade bracelet.
Yan recognized that it was a jade thing, so he said, "These two things are indeed like a jade, I don't know where they came from?" ”
"So this is indeed Miss Jade's jewelry?" Yuanda said: "That's right, we caught a thief and found these pieces of jewelry from the stolen goods, so we came to ask." ”
"Thieves? Where are the thieves? Yan was very surprised when he heard this: "What is this thief called?" ”
"This thief's name is Su Hachiro." When Yuan Shengwen said Su Balang's name, he deliberately stared at Yu Rubi to see how she reacted.
Sure enough, Yu Rubi suddenly raised her head with a panicked face. So he knew what he knew.
Of course, Yan and the others didn't know who Su Balang was, thinking that he was just a thief.
But Yu Rubi was silent on the side, originally she imagined that Su Haoyi had also returned home, but she couldn't send a letter to herself to report her safety.
Who would have thought that she would be regarded as a thief and arrested by the Criminal Department.
Master Yuan then said: "Please Miss Yu think carefully about where she lost these pieces of jewelry, and think of the trouble to give me a letter, so that we can convict him." As he spoke, he got up and was about to take his leave.
Yan asked, "How is the matter with Chunyu?" When will I be able to get the body back? ”
Master Yuan laughed twice and said, "Madame, wait, we don't have enough people there now." ”
After Yuan Wensheng left, Yan asked Yu Rubi: "I remember that this jewelry was brought by you when you went out to the oil pot that day, why was it stolen?" ”
Yu Rubi was upset at this time, not knowing what she had to do to clear her suspicion. I didn't even hear what Yan asked him.
Sui Shi said on the side: "What is this, most of it is that Rubi fell into the water that day, and the jewelry also fell into the water and was picked up." She's sick now, so let's go back to rest! It's just a few pieces of jewelry, and they can convict them as much as they like. ”
Yan didn't delve further after hearing this, and asked the maid to take the eldest lady back to rest.
The prison of the Criminal Department.
A cell boss walked in with a small jailer and came to the door of the cell where Su Haoyi was being held.
Su Haoyi recognized his surname Wang, but his name was not clear.
After Sima Lantai's diagnosis and treatment, Su Haoyi's broken leg has been connected, and it has been fixed with a wooden plank outside.
With the internal medication, her fever has subsided, and her body has felt much better.
Although he was in prison, he was not punished. It's just that she still doesn't know who is trying to harm her, and she is also worried about involving Yu Rubi.
At this time, Su Haoyi simply freshened up, not as embarrassed as when he was just caught.
Wang was a man in his early thirties who had been a jailer here since he was a teenager. He asked the people who followed him to open the door, came in with a food box, put it in front of Su Haoyi and whispered, "Let's eat!" This is sent by the prince of Lantai, you can eat it with confidence, I don't know how many times better than prison food. ”
"Thank you, Uncle Wang! I'm sorry for you. Su said very politely.
The head of the Wang cell hurriedly said: "Don't be so polite! It's Lantai Gongzi who takes care of you, how can I not be dedicated! My son is seven or eight years old and still can't speak, but he was cured by the prince of Lantai, which is a great kindness. Now that Childe has entrusted me with this matter, Childe can afford me, how can I say that it is troublesome! ”
Su Kaiyi opened the food box and saw that there were a few snow-white steamed buns and a few side dishes inside, as well as a bowl of warm rice porridge.
The head of the prison said: "You are injured now, and you can't eat hair, so it's better to eat lightly." Su nodded kindly, she was really a little hungry. This meal looks like Granny Mao's craftsmanship, Su Haoyi has never been in the Lantai Medical Center, and she has not eaten less of the food cooked by Granny Mao.
