Chapter 129: Confession of Joy
After watching the maids leave, the fawn asked puzzledly, "Why did the young lady let them go?" So how do we know who the thief is? ”
Mu Qingyan looked at the maidservants who had already left, and there was an incomprehensible deep meaning on his face. She turned her head and said lightly to Xiaolu: "This, you don't have to worry about it. Later, we'll go and get her out......."
"Miss, you're selling off again." The fawn yelled, not understanding what her young lady was planning.
"It's a waste to have someone sweep this place." Mu Qingyan looked at the melon seeds on the ground that were blown away by the wind, revealing a little regret.
Xiaolu already had an opinion on Mu Qingyan and letting those maids go, and let go of those maids, so he let out an angry "oh", and then asked people to clean the garden.
night
The brightly lit Qin Wang's Mansion, stone lamps are installed in all corners.
The stone lamp emitted a faint glow of fire, illuminating the quiet curved road.
A breeze blows, the leaves rustle sound, two figures pass through the quiet path, the bright moon hangs high and there are many stars that appear at the same time as the moon, it is like a precious gem, shining brightly. Let this galaxy become gentle......
Mu Qingyan bypassed the patrolling guards and came to the residence of the handmaiden Huanxi. Peeked through the gap in the window, and saw a maid walking back and forth in the room.
Something tricky seems to have been encountered.
The lights in the house double the figure of the person.
Sure enough, there was a problem! Mu Qingyan lowered his eyes, and continued to peek through the window at the moment.
Rejoicing and bewildered, like a passive person who can't make up his mind. She stopped suddenly, as if she had made some kind of plan.
Since this matter started because of Xiaohong, then she will discuss it with her. She just obeyed orders, but she couldn't lose her life because of this incident.
Why did she agree to lie in this troubled water in the first place? If the princess finds out, she is the thief who stole things......
Huanxi couldn't imagine it, so he bent down and took out the box made of sandalwood from the bed and opened the lock. A few simple clothes, neatly arranged in the box......
Outside the window, the fawn looked surprised when she saw the maid "happy" and took out a bag of things from the box, she was sure that it was their stolen money.
"Miss, it's her, it's her who stole our money!" The fawn whispered excitedly. Grabbing Mu Qingyan, he was excited, afraid that Mu Qingyan didn't know.
Huanxi seemed to hear a voice outside, and shouted vigilantly, "Who—who's outside?" She quickly hid the money bag on her sleeve.
The door was opened, and the joy was caught off guard. She may not have expected that the person who came was Mu Qingyan, so she was very scared and weak-hearted.
"King, Princess!!" She panicked, maybe because of her weak heart, she actually forgot to salute. Mu Qingyan's momentum forced her to have a face that was gray and staggered, and she didn't dare to raise her head.
Xiaolu was not as calm as Mu Qingyan, and directly snatched back the money bag that Huanxi hid in his sleeve.
"Look, Miss!" Xiaolu looked at Huanxi with disdainful eyes, and showed Mu Qingyan the money bag. It seemed to want her to confirm that this was what they had lost.
Huanxi trembled in fear and knelt down with a "plop".
"The princess spared her life, the slave knew that she was wrong, but the slave didn't dare. Princess Niangniang, please spare the slave for the sake of the slave and maid being a first offender. ”
In an instant, the pear blossom who was crying brought rain, she crawled forward and walked under the corner of Mu Qingyan's clothes, pulled her skirt, and completely admitted her mistake with a sincere attitude.
The fawn came and pushed the joy away. When she stole something, Miss gave her a chance, she didn't cherish it, and she had to catch dirty to know how much she had made a mistake, how excessive.
"You let go of my young lady, do you still have the face to plead? The princess dares to make up her mind about everything, her hands and feet are so unclean, who knows if she will do anything more excessive in the future...... Miss - we will tell the prince now and let the prince decide. Give this to the prince to dispose of. ”
She dragged Huanxi away with Huanxi's hand, and that posture seemed to ask Gu Fenglan to punish Huanxi in order to relieve her anger.
As soon as Huanxi heard that she was going to tell Gu Fenglan about the matter, her face turned pale with fright than just now, she understood the rules of the palace, if this matter was known by the prince, she would be considered lucky to escape the battle, and she would be starved to death if she went out.
She is used to such a life, who would dare to use her when she goes out?
"No...... Don't, princess, the slave is really wrong! Please don't tell the prince, don't drive the slaves out ......!" She cried and pleaded.
"This princess is not an unreasonable person, but there is one thing I don't understand. How did you learn that the fawn hid the silver in the closet? How did you steal the silver in such a short period of time in full view of everyone? ”
If it weren't for the fact that no one told her where she was hiding, how could she easily get his money with so many people.
After listening to this, Huanxi hesitated.
The eyes with tears in his eyes rolled: "Slave maid - just know that the silver is hidden in the closet." Her voice in reply was clearly unremarkable. Mu Qingyan looked at her as if she was lying.
"Very good, since you are so protective of that person, we have nothing to talk about, Xiaolu handed her over to the prince!"
The fawn received the order and directly dragged Huanxi's clothes. forcibly tried to drag her away.
Hmph, if you dare to steal Miss's money, you will shed so many tears that your eyes will be blind.
Huanxi saw that she really couldn't hold back, the matter was so big, she didn't expect it, she knew that Xiaohong beside Mrs. Wan was obedient. Does she dare to do what she explains?
Mu Qingyan was just suspicious, but now she is a little sure, she lost money, and the decision is not so simple. Someone must have told her where the money was hidden.
A person who has only been to Liushuiju for the first time, how can he be so familiar with the road and steal her things in front of everyone without difficulty?
Mu Qingyan closed his eyes and thought about it. It quickly understood.
It turned out to be her?
When Huanxi was dragged out of the room, her strength suddenly became greater, and she broke the fawn and knelt in front of Mu Qingyan to confess.
"Yes—it's Madame Wan's personal maid, and she asked me to do everything. She said that was what Mrs. Wan meant...... The slave did not dare to disobey——! After Huanxi finished speaking, the pressure in his heart was finally released.
Xiaolu originally thought that the loss of money was just a simple maid with unclean hands and feet, but it turned out that she was the mastermind. But since she had stolen all her things, why didn't she give them to the man who had commanded her?
"Shut up, do you know what will happen to the relationship between the master and the son?"
She didn't believe it, what Huanxi said must have been because the matter was exposed, so she was looking for a substitute for the dead ghost. Although she hates Mrs. Wan, she can't wronged people, but she hopes to be Mrs. Wan.
Huanxi originally thought that it would be good to confess things. I didn't expect them to believe in themselves.
In order to make her words credible, she hurriedly explained: "The slave maid didn't talk nonsense, it was really Mrs. Wan's side Xiaohong who asked the slave maid to do this, and the slave maid had no choice, if the slave maid didn't do what they said, the slave maid would definitely die a miserable death, princess Niangniang, you really have to believe the slave maid." The slave didn't lie! After saying that, he began to swear to the sky.
I was afraid that Mu Qingyan wouldn't believe her words.
Mu Qingyan looked at her expression and knew that she was not lying.
Very good, if you cut off my financial route, I will cut off your back road!
"Miss, if this matter is true, we will tell the prince now, she has been relying on her favor to target you a few days ago, if her ugly mask is exposed in public, see what kind of face she still has!"
The fawn said angrily. Fantasized about Mrs. Wan, and she was relieved of her embarrassment.
The bad people should be punished, and if they have been bullied for so long, they should also let her know the taste of pain.
"This is the end of this matter first!" Her voice came from the ear, so insistent. Xiaolu heard Mu Qingyan say that the matter ended here, thinking that she wanted to calm things down, but she didn't notice that a shallow smile of unknown meaning flashed on Mu Qingyan's face.
What are you planning?
"Miss——?" Miss can obviously take this opportunity to let the prince see the true face of that woman clearly, why should Miss let go of that hateful Mrs. Wan, she was targeted everywhere in the pavilion last time, and finally caught her handle, why didn't she expose her evil deeds?
Xiaolu is still too simple, blindly identifying Mrs. Wan with joy, only identifying Mrs. Wan for the crime of stealing, in case of joy and water, she is not moving a stone to shoot herself in the foot?
And even if the crime is confirmed, the punishment for her is too light, so she has to take advantage of this joy. What she wanted...... It is the day when Mrs. Wan will never turn over......
