Everyone thought that the thief had escaped, but in fact the treasure was still in the house, hidden by her in a place that few people knew.

In her thoughts, Zhen Chutian had already seen the changes in her expression.

System: "Is it really a good thing that this vicious stepmother did?" I deliberately stole the jewelry and set it up for you. ”

Zhen Chutian snorted coldly in his heart: "Otherwise, why did she come to the warehouse, and why could she coincidentally find that some jewelry was lost?" If you dare to use this method to take back the right to be a housekeeper, don't blame the old lady for being unkind!"

What she hates the most is being wronged, and this time Tang Meihua touched her scales.

"You, how are you going to find clues?" Tang Meihua pretended to be an unintentional temptation.

Zhen Chutian retracted his thoughts and showed an unusually gentle smile to her: "I don't have to worry about my mother, I still have my mother to be careful today, and I don't have the right to be a housekeeper and go to the warehouse to take inventory, if it weren't for you, everyone wouldn't know about the loss of jewelry." ”

The words seemed to be just casual talk, but Zhen Yuanshan was a little suspicious when he heard it.

He glanced at Tang Meihua: "Why did you come to the warehouse today to take inventory?"

Tang Meihua's face stiffened slightly: "I, I just have a headache, I want to find Yu Ruyi to try to see if I can get better, but unfortunately I found out that Yueshui Jade was lost." ”

Zhen Yuanshan nodded thoughtfully, although he had some doubts in his heart, he still believed this.

"Dad, you and your mother should leave, there should be a clue to the thief in the storehouse, and my daughter must check it carefully." Zhen Chutian opened his mouth at the right time, wanting to drive them all away.

Tang Meihua subconsciously looked around, and the fear in her eyes couldn't be more obvious.

"Don't you report to the official? This matter has to be investigated by the people of the government, and if you look for clues yourself, I'm afraid you won't be able to find it after three years. Zhen Yue seemed to be unintentionally sarcastic, only thinking that she was talking big.

In her opinion, Zhen Chutian just knew that she was a little bolder when she asked for good things, and now she can't find a way to lose things.

It's funny that you can do anything that you don't report to the official and check it yourself.

"My sister is really stupid, the things that the emperor rewarded, they have to be properly offered, although it is not guilty to lose it, the emperor is not happy to hear it."

Zhen Chutian smiled and said: "If you don't alarm the official mansion, don't alarm, otherwise you will let everyone in the capital laugh at the Prime Minister's Mansion, and you can't even guard the jewelry?"

"You ......"

Zhen Yue was so crowned by her that she didn't know how to reply, and she was so anxious that she almost stomped her feet.

She looked at her father nervously, and saw Zhen Yuanshan frowning unhappily: "Yue'er, you are the most careful on weekdays, why is it not as thoughtful as your sister today?"

After that, he waved his hand and said, "Okay, the idle people and others will leave here." ”

Zhen Chutian pinched his waist, proudly raised his chin to Tang Meihua's mother and daughter, and stood on the stone steps waiting for them to leave the courtyard.

Zhen Yue was angry and hateful, but because her father was still there, she had to grit her teeth and say, "Hmph, I want to see how you get back Yueshui Jade, ugly girl!"

Looking at her angry back, Zhen Chutian shook her hair very neatly, not taking this to heart at all.

She uses her smart little brain, and she can naturally find clues, after all, as a medical genius, her brain is still much more flexible than these people.

"You guys go to the storeroom and see what's going on with you, Pelle, come with me."

Zhen Chutian commanded, and took Pei'er to take a look at the windowsill around.

But as soon as she took two steps, a not-so-pleasant voice sounded behind her.

"Hmph, what clues are not clues, it's just that I am afraid of handing over the power of stewardship to delay time."

"She checks and checks, and she has to drag us to suffer, it's really sick....."

Pei'er couldn't listen to it, and turned around to theorize, but was held down by a hand.

"Two beautiful young ladies, come here." Zhen Chutian smiled and hooked his hand at them, but he was actually angry.

The two maidens glanced at each other, expecting that she had always been weak, so they dared to walk up to her.

"Do you think I'm deaf?" Zhen Chutian leaned in front of them and pointed at himself seriously.

A maid shook her head: "No." ”

"Then why don't you wait for me to go away and then speak ill? It just so happened that I read the house rules yesterday, and what punishment should I receive for insulting my master in person?"

Zhen Chutian hugged his arms for a long time, admiring the gradually ugly faces of the two.

"If you go back to Miss, drag it out and play the top ten boards." Pei replied immediately, in a tone of good play.

The two of them were completely frightened at this time, and they hurriedly changed Fang Caizhang's posture, and bowed and begged for mercy.

"The slaves and maids just don't beat their mouths, so they said bad things about the young lady, and please spare the slaves and maids, we don't dare anymore!

"That's it, the slave is just a quick mouth, and the lady has a lot, so spare us this time."

Zhen Chutian stretched out her index finger and shook it, "No, there is a word called killing chickens and being monkeys, and today I will wronged you to be chickens, and she immediately glanced at the mothers-in-law guarding the door."

The mothers-in-law looked at each other and couldn't help but hesitate.

They and these two maids guarded the warehouse, and they didn't look up on weekdays, and if they did it, they would hurt their face and harmony.

Seeing what a few people were afraid of, Zhen Chutian sighed: "Forget it, then call a few little guys, when the time comes, you will fight harder, if you want to blame these mothers-in-law, blame these mothers-in-law." ”

Hearing this, the maids were so frightened that they were about to cry, so they hurriedly waved their hands at the mothers-in-law, and sent them sticks to beat.

After a while, there were howls in the courtyard.

System: "It's so ruthless, the host is more vindictive than yesterday:"Do you want to taste the beating from the host?" Zhen Chutian rubbed his wrists, his fists gurgling.

The system immediately and honestly retracted.

Zhen Chutian no longer wasted time, and took Pei'er to carefully search for traces of the windowsill.

She knew that the thief did not dare to walk through the door, and if she wanted to leave quietly, she could only choose to go through the window.

Maybe there will be traces on the windowsill, just like the TV series she watched before, and the prisoner will always leave something behind when he escapes through the window.

As she expected, on the windowsill facing the courtyard wall, there were two shoe prints that could not be found without looking closely.

The shoe print is the appearance of a sea-patterned peach blossom, which is obviously a pair of embroidered shoes worn by the maids in the house, and the height of the maids in the house is not much different, and there are countless people who wear the same embroidered shoes.

You have to find a more obvious clue.

"Miss, what did you find?" Pei'er leaned over and saw the shoe print, and her eyes lit up: "Sure enough, there is a clue!"

"Don't make a noise, you go find a ladder and go up to the courtyard wall to see if there is any cloth that has been scratched off." Zhen Chutian commanded two sentences and looked at the wall thoughtfully.

The maid who stole must have left over the wall, even if the shoe prints could not be pointed to in specific yards, there were clothes and fabrics left behind to lock on to the target.

Pei'er obediently went to move the ladder, climbed on the wall for a long time, and was almost cross-eyed, and finally found two strands of clothing, "Miss, I found it!"

Zhen Chutian took the silk of his clothes, held it up in the sunlight and carefully identified it, and could barely see that it was a pink silkworm satin.

This silk is not often seen in the house, and usually only the personal maid next to the master can be worn.

"A close-fitting girl in a pink satin dress...... Isn't that Xue Ying who is following Madame?" Peel's eyes widened in disbelief.

The person who stole the moon water jade turned out to be a first-class maid beside Madame!

Zhen Chutian hooked his lips, and his eyes flashed with excitement: "You can go and invite me." ”

Hearing that the eldest lady found the thief in one hour, Zhen Yuanshan still couldn't believe it.

When he hurried with everyone, he saw Pei'er standing by the windowsill, and Zhen Chutian smiled at them calmly.

"Mother..... Did you really let her find the evidence?" Zhen Yue grabbed Tang Meihua's sleeve and stared at the windowsill.

Tang Meihua snorted coldly: "It's just that I found the shoe prints left and right, and she can't find anything further down, don't worry." ”

"Chu Tian, they said you found the thief, where is the thief?"

Zhen Yuanshan looked around suspiciously.

Zhen Chutian pointed to the shoe prints on the windowsill: "My daughter found the shoe prints, and found two pieces of clothing silk on the courtyard wall, and inferred that the maid in the house stole the jewelry, and this maid is a first-class maid." ”

She said and waved at Pelle.

Pei'er immediately presented the two pieces of silk to Zhen Yuanshan: "My lord, please look, this is the fabric of silkworm satin." ”

Silk silk is already the best fabric for ordinary people, just because their prime minister's mansion is one of the largest families in the capital, and they also need to be puffy when they take the maid out on weekdays, and the first-class maid is usually dressed very decently.

Zhen Yuanshan took the silk of clothes, looked at it carefully in the sun for a moment, and his eyes fell not far away: "You, come here." ”

Xue Ying, who was named, was frightened, and walked up to him uneasily: "Slave, slave has seen an adult." ”

Zhen Chutian looked at her from top to bottom, and pretended to be surprised: "The clothes on your body are the same as this one.... Ah! Even the embroidered shoes are the same size, so it can't be that you stole the moon water jade, right?"

She covered her mouth and immediately looked at Tang Meihua's mother and daughter suspiciously.

Tang Meihua sighed in her heart, and immediately reprimanded: "Don't talk nonsense!" Xue Ying followed me and never came to the warehouse, not to mention that she was not the only maid wearing silk satin!"

"What my mother said is that among all the maids in our Prime Minister's Mansion, there are such good clothes in Cui Ping next to Xue Ying and her sister, either Xue Ying or Cui Ping:" Zhen Chutian waved his hand behind him.

Pei'er took two steps forward knowingly, and stood secretly behind Xueying.

The dyed cloth coarse skirt on her body is old and white, where it looks like the personal maid of the concubine of the Prime Minister's house, and it is said that the rough girl of the Tizhi bucket is almost the same.

Zhen Yuanshan frowned when he saw it: "Chu Tian, why are you and your maid dressed like this?" Tomorrow I will go to the street and cut some horses of silk to make clothes. ”

Cloud silk?!

Tang Meihua stared, she never thought that the old man would be so generous, and she actually began to spend money on this cheap hoof.

Before she could think of a stop, she saw Zhen Chutian take two steps forward with a solemn expression: "Dad, now is not the time to talk about this, judging from the footprints and clothes, the thief must be Xue Ying." ”

"No, not a slave! Perhaps the thief outside had left these behind when he fled, and the slave just happened to be dressed the same as the thief. Xue Ying hurriedly explained, but her tone was very determined.

It's the maid brought out by Tang Meihua, even if it is chaotic, it has come to her senses at this moment.

It's just two strands of clothing, and she can't rely on her head to shirk it.

"You mean, this female thief Yiqiao is dressed the same as you, and wears embroidered shoes of the same size? There is such a coincidence in the world. Zhen Chutian sneered twice, admiring this girl's ability to make excuses.

Sure enough, people are divided into groups.

The people around Tang Meihua are more inverted than the other, but these people are still very loyal to her, which really makes her figure it out.

"But it just so happened." Tang Meihua looked at her provocatively: "What did Xue Ying do when she came to steal Moon Water Jade for no reason?"

This royal jewel cannot be sold, and it will be found in the house. ”

Zhen Yue took two steps forward and said helplessly: "Sister, I know you want to be a housekeeper, but you can't just wronged people if you want to whitewash the peace, right?" What is the use of Xue Ying stealing moon water jade? Do you want to eat it?"
