"Oh? Who are they? Chun Yuyan swept away the weak and aggrieved look just now, sat up straight, and asked in a cold voice.

"Young lady Qiyu, it is the light rain that is sprinkled and swept away, the boat, and the small clouds waiting in the wing."

When Du Ruo's words fell, Jiao suddenly remembered that she originally wanted to trick Chun Yuyan into leaving, or quarrel with Su Muzhe to muddy the waters.

However, she was led by Chun Yuyan's words throughout the whole process.

Thinking about these clearly, Jiao's face sank.

She underestimated Chun Yuyan a little.

Looking at Chun Yuyan holding the roster handed over by Du Ruo, he looked at it again and again, then turned his head and asked pitifully: "Second aunt, these people are not here, how can you tell who stole something?" ”

The woman in front of her frowned slightly, and a trace of confusion flashed in her eyes.

Jiao's position on Chun Yuyan just now was a little shaky.

Could it be that she really just sued herself just now, and then took the opportunity to mention that she would marry Liu Qingqing?

Anyway, let's settle the matter at hand first.

Jiao Shi thought for a while, and then said, "Don't panic, nephew and daughter-in-law, tell me what you lost first?" ”

Since I came in, I have drunk two cups of tea, and Chun Yuyan has not said anything lost.

"It's not a big thing, it's my ruby beads, and a gold-cut bracelet is missing, these are what I usually wear on weekdays, and a string of red pomegranate beads, a gift from Bingxin, I just took it out, and I haven't gotten it yet."

Chun Yuyan said regretfully, the corners of Jiao's mouth twitched, these are not big things?

But think about Chun Yuyan's seventy-two dowry, as well as the gifts of the six carts, forget it, it may not be called anything to others, Jiao Shi thought sourly.

But he had to cheer up: "Since this is the case, let's first find the three people who are not in the yard and ask about the situation before making plans." ”

When Chun Yuyan heard this, he waved his hand and ordered Du Ruo to go out with someone.

Just in case, if Xiaoyun didn't know how to deal with it, Jiao Shi spoke again and guided the suspicion of the thief outward: "Or maybe it's your nephew and daughter-in-law who took these beads and hairpins and met those Xiaoxiao, which made them worry about it, and said that it wasn't necessarily, so we can't just check the house and the ones on duty in the front yard, I'll let your second uncle also check." ”

Jiao Shi said with concern, and ordered Mama Huang beside him to tell Su Jingyuan.

Chun Yuyan looked at Jiao's with gratitude: "Second aunt, you are really smart and thoughtful, no wonder grandmother praises you for being a good housekeeper." ”

Jiao's was praised a little excited, not to mention, if Chun Yuyan wants to praise a person, he can really speak to the hearts of the people.

Outside, the noise sounded, and occasionally Su Muzhe shouted, and after a while, Du Ruo took the mother-in-law and sent the three little maids back.

Xiaoyun was among them, her hair was scattered, her skirt was also stained with mud, and she looked embarrassed.

When he looked up and saw Jiao's, Xiao Yun's eyes burst into light, and then he thought of something, hurriedly lowered his head, and cried quietly and shouted that he was wronged.

The other two went out to report the news like Xiaoyun, and Xiaoyu and Xiaozhou were blocked outside by Su Muzhe.

Later, with Xia and Li Yan withdrawing, Su Muzhe paced into the courtyard.

On the old lady's side, Mama Gui hurried over again.

The old lady was awakened and asked what had happened. I heard that a thief entered the Hou Mansion? ”

Mama Gui rushed over panting, and the green tendons on her forehead jumped suddenly.

She was old, and she couldn't stand this kind of trouble in the middle of the night, and the old lady also had a terrible headache, and when she heard the movement getting bigger and bigger, she couldn't rest assured, so she sent her over to take a look.

Along the way, she saw Du Ruo with a few mothers-in-law pulling out the little maid from behind the rockery and flower trees on the side of the road.

Those mothers-in-law, Mama Gui looked familiar, it was some delicious and lazy mothers-in-law in the former house, who only knew the short of the east family and the west family all day long, and was stuffed by Jiao's to the third room, but I didn't expect that now I am working hard for Chun Yuyan!

Mama Gui followed Du Ruo all the way and arrested the person back to the third room.

Now the lights are bright here in the third room, look at the posture, this is to catch someone?

"Mama Gui came just in time, there are thieves in our house, you see these are the ones."

Chun Yuyan got up with a smile, let Mama Gui go, and sat on the small pestle on the side.

Jiao Shi hurriedly added: "My nephew and daughter-in-law lost something, and now I found out that these little maids were lazy and not in the house, and I also asked Hou Ye to check the outer courtyard, if it really entered the snitch, and now I don't know where to go, I'm afraid it's really a big trouble." ”

Mama Gui nodded, if it was really a snitch, then there would be danger in each room.

"What Madame said is that it's better to find out."

"That's right, since the second uncle is investigating outside, it's better for the second aunt to make the decision for your nephew and daughter-in-law, and interrogate these first, I really have no experience, and I don't know how to start inquiring."

The modesty that Chun Yuyan said is also in line with Jiao's mind.

Su Muzhe glanced at Chun Yuyan and arched his hand: "Since there is a second aunt in charge, the nephew will go to the grandmother to report it first, so as not to worry the grandmother." ”

Jiao nodded in response, and Su Muzhe turned around and went out.

In the courtyard, Jiao slapped the table and shouted: "Say, the good ones are not in the house, where have they gone?" ”

The three little maids below were so frightened that they trembled and kowtowed to the ground.

Xiaoyun knelt on the ground and took a step forward, begging for mercy: "Madam, the slave maid just went to the little sister to send a trick, but I didn't expect this to be a thief, the slave and maid really didn't mean it." ”

Xiaozhou did the same, and also kowtowed: "The slave maid also took advantage of the bad time, went, went to the garden, the rattan cake made by the young lady last time was very delicious, and the slave maid wanted to see what the wisteria flower looked like?" ”

"Okay, there are reasons, what about you, Xiaoyun?" Jiao Shi turned his head to look at Xiao Yun, who was kneeling on the ground.

Xiaoyun was much calmer than the other two, only to see her take out a sachet from her arms, hold it up and say: "The slave maid also went to the garden, I heard Sister Du Ruo say that the young lady has not slept well these days, and the slave maid wants to pick some jasmine flowers, which can help sleep and calm the nerves, young lady, this is a sachet made by the slave maid, and I hope the young lady can like it." ”

"Oh, that's a good idea." Jiao raised his eyebrows and looked at Chun Yuyan, but he didn't expect Xiaoyun to really not disappoint her, he thought of countermeasures in such a short time, and he did it seamlessly, and by the way, he showed his loyalty.

"Du Ruo, is she right?" Jiao Shi looked at Du Ruo.

Du Ruo curtsied and said, "Mrs. Hui, the slave did say this, but she didn't tell Xiaoyun in person. ”

"It was the slave maid who listened to Sister Du Ruo and Sister Lan Sui, and remembered it in her heart, the young lady is so good to the slaves and maids, and the slave and maid just want to be more filial to the young lady." Xiao Yun hurriedly kowtowed and said.

"Is that so? Du Ruo. Chun Yuyan asked.

Du Ruo bent his knees and replied "yes", Chun Yuyan immediately laughed: "Thank you Xiaoyun for thinking of me like this, Du Ruo will take it and show it to me." ”
