Qing Shu saw that Old Lady Lin was about to go out, and hurriedly said, "Grandfather, I think it's strange that things were stolen this time. ”

Old Lady Lin turned around, looked at Qing Shu and asked, "What's a strange method?" ”

"The second aunt and the third aunt are both at home, and this person actually stole things without alarming the two of them. This shows that the thief is familiar with the environment in our home and knows which house we live in. After a pause, Qingshu said again: "Except for the jewelry box, there is no sign of turning in the room, and there are no footprints. This shows that the thief knows where to put the jewelry. If not, the house will be turned upside down. ”

Old Lady Lin glanced at Qingshu deeply, then nodded and said, "I'll go find Lizheng." ”

After speaking, he called Lin Chengzhong to go out together.

After losing so many valuable things, Mrs. Lin was also distressed, and immediately couldn't help but scold Qingshu: "At a young age, what are you doing wearing such a big gold collar?" ”

If Qingshu doesn't show off his wealth, he won't attract thieves.

Qingshu was not convinced, and retorted: "I am also dressed like this in the county seat, why can't I be in Peach Blossom Village?" ”

The sharp teeth and mouth are competitive and competitive, and they are like two people who were well-behaved and lovely before. If it weren't for Master Wuchen's words and the Buddha's head bracelet she sent, she would have invited the fairy girl to come again.

Gu Xian pulled Qingshu and smiled at Mrs. Lin: "Mother, it's getting late, you go back and rest!" ”

Seeing that she looked indifferent, Mrs. Lin was not in a hurry, her heart choked, and she said to everyone angrily: "Go to sleep." ”

The mother and daughter returned to the room, and Qingshu took the initiative to apologize: "Mother, I'm sorry, I didn't know that I would recruit a thief." ”

Gu Xian didn't get angry, but said, "It's okay this time, I just stole the jewelry." If you are kidnapped and blackmailed by an outlaw, you will be worried about your life. ”

Qingshu shuddered: "Mother, not really!" "It's just a gold collar, so it attracts bandits.

"Not really? A few years ago, a gambler in Huaxi Village who lost his red eye kidnapped the daughter of a wealthy family in the county. The family paid a ransom of 500 taels, but in exchange for a corpse. It was also because of this incident that Gu Xian was reluctant to let Qingshu dress too richly.

Qingshu was stunned, and after a long time, he hung his head and said, "Mother, I know it's wrong." ”

Gu Xian touched Qingshu's head and said softly: "Qingshu, you were conceived and born by me in October, I won't harm you." It is also because of this that she will wear some expensive jewelry when she goes out for entertainment on weekdays, and when she returns to the countryside, she only wears one or two jade or silver jewelry, and she never wears conspicuous things such as red and blonde hairpins and gemstone bracelets.

Qingshu nodded: "Mother, I know." ”

Rutong followed Wei Shi back to the house and whispered: "Mother, my aunt is really rich, and she didn't blink an eyelid when she lost such valuable jewelry." Even Lin Qingshu didn't panic at all. And she, because of a pearl bracelet, was distressed. She didn't understand why they were all girls from the Lin family, why they were so far behind.

"No matter how rich we are, it has nothing to do with us." Gu Xian is an iron rooster, so the rich Lin family has not been touched. went to the county seat to buy things, she cried for a long time and was poor before giving three or five taels, which was like a great favor.

What made Wei even more unhappy was that Gu Xian was waiting for the maid in the county. And she stayed in the countryside to serve her in-laws, and she couldn't get her in-laws half a sentence after she was tired and tired.

Seeing that her expression was wrong, Rutong didn't dare to speak.

Gu Xian saw that Qingshu closed her eyes, but her mouth kept moving. I don't know this appearance, and I think it's a monk chanting. Gu Xian pushed down Qingshu and asked, "Qingshu, what are you doing?" ”

Qingshu explains, "I go through what I've learned in the past few days in my head, so that it's not easy to forget. ”

Gu Xian was very regretful. If Qingshu is a son, so smart and hardworking, he will cultivate well and have a bright future.

The face was not obvious, but the matter of the heir made Gu Xian a little breathless. also because she had no confidence, she chose to back down every time she faced Mrs. Shanglin.

Both mother and daughter slept soundly that night, and the jewelry was not affected by the theft.

On the second day, I was relieved and saw Zhang's bloodshot eyes: "Third aunt, what's wrong with you?" ”

Zhang Qiaoqiao saw that Qingshu was full of energy, and smiled bitterly and said: "I didn't sleep all night because of yesterday's incident. ”

Qingshu said: "I believe that my grandfather can catch the thief." "If you can't catch it, you can't do it, and if you lose something, you can buy a lesson!

Anyway, these jewels didn't fall into her hands in her last life. And in this life, as long as her mother and grandmother are good, there is better if she loses it.

The thief was quickly caught, a habitual thief in the village. There were two witnesses who proved that he was wandering around the Lin family last night, but the man also flatly denied that he had stolen something. At his house, he didn't find any of the jewelry.

Qing Shu actually suspected that it was a thief last night, so when he heard this, he said, "Grandfather, report to the official!" If he had stolen it, the officials would have been able to pry away his sin. If he was wronged, the official should be able to find the real thief to restore his innocence. ”

Old lady Lin shook his head and said, "If you want to send it to the government, the reputation of Linjia Village will be ruined." ”

This thief is the Lin family, and if he wants to report to the official, there will be an uproar, and the whole village will be embarrassed. When the time comes, the marriage of the boys and girls in the village will be affected.

"Grandfather, you can't just leave it at that, right?"

Old lady Lin shook his head and said, "The chief and the ancestor have decided to expel him from the Lin family village. ”

"Grandfather, I think it's better to report to the official. What if that person is really wronged? "It is too hasty to conclude that the jewelry was stolen by the other party based on the testimony of the two clansmen without recovering the stolen goods.

Listening to this, it was as if Old Lady Lin had wronged the thief by arresting the wrong one.

Mrs. Lin was unhappy: "Your grandfather will naturally handle this matter, so you don't have to worry about it." ”

After a busy night's work, Old Lady Lin was really tired: "Don't worry, he won't have a good life in the future after being expelled from the clan." "Without the protection of the clan, even if you get such a large amount of money, you may not be able to live a good life.

Back in the room, Qingshu and Gu Xian said: "Mother, if that person is really wronged, wouldn't he be a real thief." ”

Gu Xian said: "Since your grandfather and the patriarch believe that he is a thief, there should be no mistake. ”

Even if he was wronged, he couldn't blame others, who made him stand up wrong, he had been a thief before, and this time he went to the door of Lin's house. Otherwise, others would not be able to suspect him.

Mother Chen frowned when she saw Qingshu, and comforted her: "Girl, don't think too much, if you lose something, you can lose it, and it's okay if you're fine." ”

Qingshu glanced outside, and when he saw that there was no one at the door, he lowered his voice and said, "Mom, don't you think it's strange?" Not only did the thief know the layout of the house, but he also knew that the jewelry was placed under the dresser? ”

Chen's mother bluffed, her face changed, and then she heard the voice of only two people: "The girl suspects that she is a house thief?" ”

Qingshu was silent and said, "There is no evidence." There was no evidence, and she didn't dare to say it.

Mother Chen said softly, "Girl, I'll let Chunfen pay attention." If it's really a thief, it's always going to show its feet. ”

Chunfen was originally Qingshu's maid, but the last time she fell ill and returned to the county seat, this girl stayed in the Lin family. Now, he has become Zhang Qiaoqiao's right-hand man.

Qingshu didn't have expectations, that girl was too honest. It's better than doing nothing, though.
