Chapter 522: Stealing
"Back to the princess, this afternoon, the people in Princess Cai's house came and searched the next person's room first, and then found something in Sister Ming'er's house and arrested Sister Ming'er. said that Sister Ming'er stole Princess Cai's 200 taels of silver, and the stolen goods were seized. The little girl who hadn't kept her head was frightened and cried, and her voice was still hoarse when she replied.
Chu Junlan asked: "How did they search it, did the whole family search it, or did they just come to us?" ”
"It's only from our yard."
Zi Yan gave her a packet of caramel and a bag of snacks and let her go down.
Zi Yuan said worriedly: "Princess Shizi, Princess Cai took advantage of your absence to come to Jingxuan to get people, this is really unreasonable." ”
"Yes, princess, it depends on the owner to beat the dog, Princess Cai did this, and she didn't take you in her eyes at all!" Zi Yan jumped to her feet angrily, "Besides, after getting along these days, the slave maid looks at Ming'er as a very honest person, doesn't talk much, and does things safely, really doesn't look like a person who can steal." ”
"Two hundred taels of silver, the weight is not light, Ming'er's small body wants to take the silver back and hide it unknowingly, and it can't be discovered by anyone, it's really not easy." Chu Junlan thought of the two hundred taels of silver that she rejected that day, and she already had a vague idea in her heart.
Sure enough, it was avoided once, and then there was a follow-up move, Princess Cai shot at her, was it Concubine Shugui's idea?
"Concubine Shizi, let's save Ming'er back." Zi Yan was a little anxious.
Chu Junlan nodded: "People must be saved, let me think about it." ”
In this era, there is no monitoring equipment, and the other party has stolen goods, so she must find a way to prove that Ming'er is not a thief.
Otherwise, Princess Cai insisted on it, and it would just be a two-way relationship. Once everyone knows about the trouble, not only will Ming'er's reputation be lost, but her Jingxuan will be a thief, and it will be good to say it.
"The princess." The little girl's voice came through the door curtain, "There is a man named Zhang Fan who wants to see you, and he is outside the side door at this time. ”
Cylindron Dog?
Chu Junlan's eyes lit up, it must be someone who has come into contact with the No. 7 token!
Chu Junlan hurriedly instructed Ziyuan to invite Zhang Fan to come in and speak, and immediately asked the two maids to retreat.
Zhang Fan saw Chu Junlan, saluted respectfully, and presented the token with both hands.
Chu Junlan put away the token but didn't rush to ask, but said, "I don't know how well you fly the eaves and walk the wall?" ”
Zhang Fan smiled: "It's not good, but it's not bad." ”
"Okay, you come here." Chu Junlan whispered a few words in Zhang Fan's ear.
Zhang Fan immediately nodded, indicating understanding.
Chu Junlan handed over the things to Zhang Fan, got up and went out, called Zi Yuan and Zi Yan, and went straight to Princess Cai's Yingqiu Pavilion.
At this time, the door of the Yingqiu Pavilion was open, and before he could get closer, he heard a commotion inside.
When I walked to the door, I saw Ming'er kneeling on the broken porcelain on the ground, and a mother-in-law was pulling her ear and asking: "Say, you still don't say it!" Who told you to steal the princess's money? Say! ”
Ming'er cried in a hoarse voice, and said indistinctly: "The slave didn't steal it, it really wasn't the slave who stole it!" ”
Princess Cai moved the pestle and sat under the porch, the big girl Jiatong and Yuwu served her diligently on the side to eat the fruit, Princess Cai's red lips took a small bite, and the apple was eaten crisply, completely taking the mother-in-law's lesson to Ming'er as a good show.
Zi Yuan and Zi Yan's faces turned purple for a while.
Chu Junlan stepped on the steps and chuckled: "Yo, Princess Cai is so lively here." ”
When Princess Cai saw Chu Junlan coming, she sat up lazily, took a sip of tea and rinsed her mouth, and spit the mouthwash directly into the flower bed.
"You went out early in the morning, it's really leisurely, I was still a housekeeper at first, I didn't think you were so careless, I didn't know how to take care of the affairs in the house, and the people in my room were also taught to be a thief, which was really chilling."
Chu Junlan thought that Princess Cai was farting, and went to help Ming'er first, and saw that her cheeks were red and swollen, and her knees were also cut a few times, so she immediately sank her face.
"Where did Princess Cai come from to be so angry, with red mouth and white teeth, saying that people steal, and she can use lynching in the blink of an eye? People say that Concubine Shu is the most gentle and graceful, how could I never have imagined that Concubine Shugui's sister would be so vicious, Princess Cai, you set up a private court, don't you even want a reputation? ”
Princess Cai looked at Chu Junlan, who was bathed in the sun and had a very prosperous appearance in a light blue dress, and then looked at her confidence that could only be born because of someone's pampering, and the jealousy in her heart was like magma rolling.
"Whew! You raised a thief, but you still came to me? Princess Cai was relieved and said: "I also know that you are in a difficult situation right now, Princess Zhang refuses to give you the degree, and you can't afford the money, so you have to find another way, but you shouldn't give it to you, don't steal it in turn!" ”
As soon as she heard that Princess Cai completely relied on Chu Junlan for this matter, Ming'er cried: "I didn't steal, I really didn't steal!" It is even more impossible for our princess to instruct me to steal, and the princess even handed over her own silver to me, and we Jingxuan are not short of silver, Princess Zhang does not give it a degree, and the housekeepers will go to Princess Zhang to receive it, and our princess does not need to steal other people's silver! ”
Ming'er's eyes were red and swollen from crying, and her words were reversed, but she also successfully choked back Princess Cai's words.
Princess Cai was furious: "Mother Zhao, slap her mouth for me!" The master speaks, where is her part to interject! ”
Mother Zhao immediately responded, and was about to come to do it with her arms and sleeves, but before she could wave her raised hand, she was kicked in the stomach by Chu Junlan.
"I'm standing here, and you dare to go after me?"
"Oops!" Zhao's mother fell to the ground, and several pieces of broken porcelain pierced into her buttocks, causing tears to fall from her eyes.
"Good! It's the other way around! I'm going to do it for you! You shrew, dare to go wild in your mother-in-law's yard! Princess Cai rose up and pointed at Chu Junlan.
"If things are uneven, they will sing, even if they are inferior, they are raised by their parents, Princess Cai has always been high, and she casually buttoned off her big hat, doesn't she care about the life or death of others? You framed her, what's wrong with her defending herself? Besides, this Mother Zhao dares to do something in front of me, I don't think she wants to live anymore! ”
"You! I'm going to report to the government! ”
"What a coincidence! I'm also looking for Suncheonfu! When the time comes, let people see how Concubine Shugui's sister, a young lady from the Cai family, framed the girl in her daughter-in-law's house! As long as you are not afraid of losing your face all over the capital, I will immediately go to the yamen to knock on the drum! ”
Princess Cai was so angry with Chu Junlan that she gasped, and pointed at her for a long time without saying a word.
Chu Junlan asked again: "Princess Cai lost the silver, did you search it everywhere, or did you just go to Jingxuan to search it?" ”
Princess Cai was stunned when asked.
Chu Junlan sneered: "Princess Cai will know who stole it as soon as she loses it, and after she goes, she will search for it accurately, and she will immediately take it dirty." It's a pity that you are in the deep house, you should go to Shuntianfu on an errand to handle the case! ”
"Presumptuous! Chu Junlan, you dare to be disrespectful to the princess! Mother Zhao got up and said with her waist crossed, "People are caught by slaves and maids, and dirty things are also searched out by slaves and maids. ”
