Early in the morning, Qingyan was pulled out of the warm quilt by Biqing again, and the babbling words were like a yellow bird chirping in her ears.

"I said Biqing, what is it that made you wake up this girl today?" She learned the actions of the woman from a good family in the picture book and provoked Biqing's slap, and brought her whole face in front of her eyes, with hazy apricot eyes and indescribable delicateness.

Bi Qing helplessly leaned back and said: "Miss, you are naughty again, today is the day when Mother Zhang comes back, you have to sleep on the three poles of the day again, Mother Zhang is not allowed to teach slaves and maids."

It is also strange to say that since she agreed to give the marriage to the third miss, her grandmother has treated her very leniently, not only exempting her from morning and dusk, but also rewarding her with a lot of jewelry and jade that is only given to the third miss on weekdays.

I think she herself feels indebted to her.

Qingyan gladly accepted the kindness of the old man, although her mother had a rich dowry and gave her a lot of good things in private, since it was compensation, how could she refuse.

"No, Mother Zhang is used to hurting me, she will definitely be happy to see her young lady Xianghao sleeping well."

Hongwu, who had just come in from outside, burst out laughing, "Miss is really getting more and more lively."

"Isn't that bad?" Qingyan yawned lightly, dragged his body and sat down in front of the bronze mirror.

Bi Qing also smiled: "Today's young lady is good, and we like you like this."

Qingyan couldn't help but cover her mouth and smile when she heard it.

"Hey, why is one missing?"

Holding a gold-painted flower brocade box, the red wuwu said in a low voice.

Bi Qing's face changed, and she strode forward, and looked down at a box full of all kinds of beaded hairpins, earrings, and bracelets, although Hongwu personally manages her own lady's makeup box on weekdays, but she can also read a rough idea of what is in it.

"What's missing?" Qingyan asked unhurriedly as she played with the messy hair on her neck and shoulders.

"Yes...... The complete set of pink tourmaline walkers, earrings and bracelets given by the young lady's maternal uncle".

Qingyan observed the anxious and frightened expressions of her two big girls from the bronze mirror, knowing that she was worried about her blame and punishment, after all, only the two of them could enter the back room, and the other little girls couldn't get close at all, and now they were the most suspicious.

"Don't worry, let's pack up and pick up Zhang's mother first, and then look for things", Qingyan said softly, although she believed that it would not be any of them who stole it, but without evidence, everything could not really clear the suspicion and return their innocence.

"Miss......" Bi Qing deliberately spoke for Hongwu, but thinking that she was also suspicious now, she stopped the rest of her words in time.

"Alright...... What to do? Don't think about it...... "Qingyan's words fell, in addition to her face being a little worse, Hongwu calmly began to clean up for Qingyan, Qingyan couldn't hide her appreciation, but suddenly found that Hongwu also had other advantages in addition to not being mature enough.

So that when Zhang's mother didn't come in from the courtyard gate with the specialties of her hometown, except for a naturally happy face, the two big girls didn't look good.

Mother Zhang put down the things in her hand and was about to kneel down and kowtow to Qing Yanxing, she stopped her in time and said with a smile: "Mom, what do you mean?"

Zhang's mother was very excited, and cried with joy: "This old slave must be knocked, if it weren't for the fifty taels of silver that Miss gave to the old slave when she left, the old slave would have left this old life in her hometown now", after speaking, she wiped her eyes again, still feeling related.

"Don't kowtow, mom will tell me what happened", Qingyan helped her up, pulled her to sit on the couch, frowned and said seriously.

Zhang's mother rubbed her hands a little crampedly, and then slowly explained the truth of the matter one by one.

It turned out that Zhang's mother's ancestral home was in the north, and the family left a son and a daughter, she went back this time to marry a daughter-in-law to her own son, her boy had some craftsmanship, and took the girl from the county town, and Zhang's mother also saved some savings for the years of slavery and maid, so she bought a two-entry house for the little couple in the county, and the marriage was very lively, and relatives and friends could come.

It's just that halfway through, a group of people suddenly broke in, and it had to be said that Zhang's mother relied on their family's money to buy the house, and the land sale book that was originally drawn with a handprint was actually dropped, and everyone was in plain sight. In the face of everyone's whispers, Zhang's mother instantly had a bitter word, and had no choice but to report to the official, who would have thought that they would be in a trap, obviously they had already colluded, and they took the money not to mention that they swore to monopolize the two-entry house.

"My kid is just a sufferer who has no ability, and he has never experienced such a situation, he is already scared of the six gods, and his daughter-in-law has encountered this matter before he has passed the door, and he has already had the intention of withdrawing from the marriage, and even his in-laws have come to the door in person", Zhang's mother couldn't help but be scared and frightened when she remembered it at this time. "At this moment, I thought of the fifty taels of silver that the young lady stuffed into my cloth bag when she left, and I took the money to pay for the house, and asked the elders of the clan to sign the paperwork with the owner in person, and then escaped from the county office."

Zhang's mother smiled for the rest of her life.

Hongwu suddenly said in disbelief: "How can there be such a person?" Mom, you shouldn't keep giving him money."

Zhang's mother said helplessly and palely: "The people don't fight with the officials, not to mention that we are still slaves, we can only be dumb and eat Coptis chinensis, and we can't say anything about our suffering."

Speaking of "slave", Hongwu instantly hung his head and was silent.

Qingyan can't comfort them, the world is like this, even if she says words of comfort now, she is only pale and powerless

What she was concerned about in her heart was: "Mom, even if you have money, won't the county magistrate take it for himself?" Let you out? ”

Mother Lin smiled happily when she heard this: "Thanks to a son, he obviously happened to be passing by here and happened to help ...... with this", as for how to help, Zhang's mother kept silent, Qingyan knew that she must have agreed to the person's matter before she didn't want to mention it, and she didn't ask anymore.

"It's good that mom comes back safely, I just hope that the county order and the scoundrel don't bully the son and daughter-in-law of the family", Bi Qing smiled and comforted.

Mother Zhang shook her head and said, "No, that son has already arranged everything."

Qingyan said in her heart: It seems that my mother has really met a good person, and I don't know what kind of person is so thoughtful.

After that, Qingyan settled Zhang's mother to have a good rest today, and then led Biqing and Hongwu to gather all the subordinates in the "Zhuxuanju" to the courtyard.

There are not many people in her courtyard, except for Biqing and Hongwu, there are three little maids, and a mother who is in charge of the small kitchen.

Now her Qingyan is full of momentum, and she only stood there, and there was no trace of sharpness on her face, but she didn't say a word, and where a pair of eyes swept over, it made the people standing in the courtyard tremble.

"Tell me, where is Luying?"

Lu Ying is a little girl from her aunt, who only takes care of some chores in the courtyard on weekdays, and she only knew at this time that Lu Ying was not in the "Zhuxuan Residence" last night, and no one said where she went.
