Princess Cai also said: "My silver is only kept by my maidservant, and Ming'er is also in charge of the silver in your room, who is it that you didn't instruct her to steal?" ”

"It's really strange that the maidservants in the princess's house are also in charge of the silver, can't it be the maidservants in your house who stole it? Why didn't you even search them here, but just searched my hospital? ”

"It's useless to talk more, now everyone has already seized the stolen goods, and the two hundred taels of silver were found from Ming'er's house, what else do you have to say!" Princess Cai took a step back and sat heavily on the cross-pistle, her chest rising and falling with anger.

Chu Junlan sneered: "Your name is written on the silver?" Ming'er helps me take care of the treasury and money, and it is common for her to have my money in her house, who knows if you have copied my money. Isn't it for the sake of greed for money, so you deliberately deduct our hats? ”

"You!" Princess Cai jumped like thunder, "Will my Cai family be short of two hundred taels of silver?" Come on, bring the Tibetan silver, and let the princess be convinced! ”

"Yes!"

A handmaid answered, and walked down quickly.

Chu Junlan first mentioned Ming'er to clean the wound on her knee, moved Ming'er and began to cry again, and explained in a low voice: "Concubine Shizi, the slave really didn't steal. ”

"I know, I will restore your innocence." Chu Junlan appeased.

The movement of Yingqiu Pavilion was too big, alarming the concubines in many courtyards around, some people were more subtle, and let the henchmen come to inquire about the news, and even more were not afraid of big things, such as Aunt Lu, so they simply came to see the excitement.

But in a moment, the girl brought the silver, which was the two hundred taels that Princess Cai gave to Chu Junlan at that time, five taels of silver and an ingot, and the silver ingots were wrapped in two layers of cloth bags, shining white in the sun.

"Look! This is the money that I kindly sent you that day when I helped you with your housework, and you didn't want it, but I brought it back, why did I find it in your maid's house? ”

Chu Junlan looked at Zhao's mother on the side: "You went to search Ming'er's house?" ”

Mother Zhao was afraid that Chu Junlan would give her another kick, so she took a step back while holding her stomach, but she still had a tough attitude: "It's a slave." ”

Chu Junlan snorted coldly, raised his leg and kicked again: "You are so bold!" You stole the princess's silver, and you know that sooner or later you will be discovered, so you can steal the beams and change the pillars to clear yourself! You know that Ming'er is taking care of the money for me, and you still have two hundred taels of silver in your hand, so you handed over the silver you stole from the princess, and lied that you found it in Ming'er's house, and you left the silver you found in Ming'er's house! What a smart mother-in-law, the means of blame are really good! ”

The mother-in-law sat on the ground holding her stomach and hummed.

Blame is blame, but there is no silver in Ming'er's house at all, she went to find nothing out, why did the princess pull out two hundred taels of silver nonsense?

"I was wronged! Princess, don't talk about it! Princess, slaves and maids don't! Not really! ”

Of course, Princess Cai knew what was going on, and asked in a cold voice: "What evidence do you have, just say that Mother Zhao stole the beam to change the pillar to blame Ming'er?" ”

"Two hundred taels of silver, there is nowhere to dispose of it in a short time, it must still be hidden in Zhao's mother's house, and the princess can order someone to search for it."

Princess Cai raised her chin and snorted. This so-called hidden silver was taken out of the house by her, and it didn't go through Zhao's mother's hands at all, and Zhao's mother didn't have a chance to touch so much silver, so she was of course confident in her plan.

"Good. If you say search, then you will search, but the ugly words are ahead, if you can't find it, I will go to the fairy bridge to judge! ”

Princess Cai is more and more sure in her heart that her arrangement has been seamless, whether it is out of jealousy, or out of Concubine Shu's order, in short, she must make Chu Junlan look good today!

Chu Junlan nodded, and said with a straight face: "Okay, since the princess said so, then my ugly words must also be said in front, I don't want to go to the Immortal Bridge to comment, but whoever moves my girl's finger today, I will take someone's life!" ”

Princess Cai was stared at by Chu Junlan's serious eyes, and her heart jumped suddenly, and she inexplicably had some fear.

But even if there is a lot of apprehension in her heart, Princess Cai will never show weakness at this time, once she shows weakness, won't she prove that she is weak in front of so many aunts and subordinates?

"Good! Deal! Princess Cai said.

Aunt Lu watched the play with relish, so she had to take out the melon seeds, and when she saw the agreement between the two parties, she said with a smile: "According to the concubine, it is better to leave this search to us irrelevant people, so as not to be suspicious of the princess, and to find Princess Cai suspicious, besides, if it is only handed over to Princess Cai, even if Princess Cai does not do anything, it is difficult for your people to guarantee that they will not do anything to you, right?" ”

Princess Cai was not lightly angered by Aunt Lu's actions, and sneered: "Aunt Lu is not small, what kind of place is this, and there is room for you to intervene?" ”

"Hey, what you said, although the concubine has a humble status, she has been in the mansion for nearly 20 years, and she has served the prince for a long time, so she naturally thinks about the prince. The prince is not at home now, and there is so much chaos at home, can't the concubine talk about suggestions? Besides, what are you nervous about? Did you really plant it? ”

Princess Cai knew that this was Aunt Lu's agitation method, and she couldn't refuse anymore, and if she refused again, she would be weak-hearted, so she only waved her hand and said: "Okay, since you want to search, then call some more people to search, but don't you discuss it with Chu Junlan, and work together to make me stumble." ”

"Can you really raise yourself, and the concubine is so idle?" Aunt Lu rolled her eyes, and then ordered the mother-in-law beside her to go find the guards of the palace, and then looked at Princess Cai with a sneer, "Let the palace guards search, this will not favor anyone." ”

The palace guards are the prince's people, and they will not mess with these trivial things in the inner house.

Chu Junlan smiled and said, "In the end, Aunt Lu is fair, if it was the palace guards who found the stolen goods in my maid's room today, then I wouldn't have come to the door directly." ”

"That's what the rich do? Our family is not rich, and we dare not ask more. ”

Although no one can serve Prince Gong, Aunt Lu still holds a grudge against Princess Cai and said that she is old, but she is afraid that Liang Zi will tie it up, and she will not want to untie it in this life.

Chu Junlan listened to it funny, and didn't say anything more, and stood in place with a smile and waited for the palace guards to arrive.

In just a moment, two palace guards came at the order, and under the guidance of the old grandmother next to Aunt Lu and the mother-in-law of Yingqiu Pavilion, they searched for Zhao's mother's house in the back room.

But in a few moments, the two guards came back and brought out a very inconspicuous coarse cloth package, which should weigh twenty pounds. Spread it on the ground, it was really a silver ingot with white flowers, and there was a lead stamp of "fairy brew" under the silver ingot, and there was a stack of wine tickets in the package.
