Chapter 319: Turning His Face and Not Recognizing People
Seeing this, Mrs. Meng's brows frowned slightly. "What's wrong?"
The maid looked back at Mrs. Meng with a frightened expression. "Husband, ma'am...... The hairpin, the hairpin crown is no, it's gone...... It's gone! ”
Mrs. Meng's face changed. "What?" She took two steps forward and looked into the box, which was empty, and there was still the shadow of the hairpin crown.
"How could it be...... Where did the hairpin crown go? ”
The maid fell to her knees in fright. "The slave doesn't know, but when I arrived at the villa, the hairpin crown was obviously in a box...... Slave and maid, slave and maid don't know why they disappeared. ”
Mrs. Meng was so angry that she didn't know anything!
"Who guards the hairpin crown?"
"It's a slave maid, it's always been a slave and maid watching...... the maid turned pale with fright, she was a second-class maid in Mrs. Meng's yard, she clearly knew how much Mrs. Meng attached importance to today's ceremony, and she probably wouldn't survive.
"What the hell is going on? Did someone take it wrong? Mrs. Duanhua looked at the pitiful maid, so she slowly asked.
"Mrs. Huiduanhua, when the slave maid arrived from the Meng Mansion to the villa, she was always holding a box with a hairpin crown in her hand, and the slave knew that the hairpin crown was valuable, and after arriving at the villa, the slave and maid carefully locked the box in the cabinet in the collection room, and it was not until the time when the big salute was about to be made that the slave took out the box until just now, and the box was opened."
Mrs. Duanhua pondered for a moment. "Who else has the key to the cabinet in the collection room besides you?"
"Only, only, only the slave maid has it, Mrs. Duanhua's slave maid swears, the slave maid has never touched the hairpin crown in the box......"
Mrs. Meng's face sank. "You are the only one who has the key, and the lock of the cabinet has not been broken, and now you tell Mrs. Ben that the hairpin crown in the box is missing, but you don't know!?"
"Madame Mingcha, the slave and maid really don't know, even if you give the slave and maid a hundred guts, the slave and maid don't dare to fight the idea of the hairpin crown......"
"Mother, maybe this maid is really wronged." Meng Nanfei suddenly spoke, and after speaking, she looked at the maid and said, "Are you sure that the hairpin crown was in the box when you put it in the cabinet?" ”
The maid nodded affirmatively. "Slave is sure."
Meng Nanfei nodded. "Then after you took the box out of the cabinet, the box has always been in your hand?"
The maid thought for a while before saying: "Yes, there was such a small half of an hour that the slave maid did not hold it in her hand, that is, on the way over, the slave maid suddenly felt uncomfortable in her stomach, so she put the box on the table in a room and went to the clean room, and when she came back, the box was still on the table and did not move, and the slave and maid rushed over without checking it for fear of delaying the hour......
Hearing this, Meng Nanfei pondered for a moment and said to Mrs. Meng: "Mother, my daughter thinks that the hairpin crown must have been stolen by someone, and the guests invited today are all here, I believe this matter has nothing to do with the guests......
"Miss, Miss Cousin and Doctor Lin didn't come over." Before Meng Nanfei finished speaking, a maid suddenly spoke up.
Meng Nanfei looked stunned and surprised. "How could it be, how could my cousin and Doctor Lin be the ones who stole the hairpin crown?"
As soon as Meng Nanfei's words came out, a seed of doubt was planted in the hearts of the guests present.
When Mrs. Meng heard this, her face changed slightly. "How could it be, Ah Zhu and Doctor Lin would never do such a thing."
Meng Nanfei also nodded firmly. "Well, what my mother said is right, it's just strange, where did my cousin and Doctor Lin go, why didn't they see anyone?"
These words not only did not dispel everyone's doubts, but made them even more suspicious.
However, compared to Lan Qinzhu, Lin Mumu is even more suspicious, after all, the door of the Lan Mansion is there, no matter how you look at Lan Qinzhu, she will not do such a thing as stealing.
When it came to Lin Mumu, I heard that she was not favored in the Lin Mansion before, and when she arrived at the Third Prince's Mansion, it also ended with harmony, if she was favored, how could she end up like this, to say that Lin Mumu had not seen anything good, they believed it, so if you want to steal, Lin Mumu is not unable to do it.
"Yes or no, just ask someone to find out." Mrs. Duanhua said.
"That's what Mrs. Duanhua said." Mrs. Meng bowed slightly, and instead asked her subordinates to find the whereabouts of Lan Qinzhu and Lin Mumu.
"Who do you think will take the hairpin crown?"
"Miss Lan will definitely not do such a thing, if you want me to say, it's Lin Mumu, you haven't seen the dress she is wearing today, there is not even a decent embroidery on the skirt, and I don't know how many years ago the skirt, if she sees such a beautiful hairpin crown, can she not want to take it for herself?"
"I think so, looking at her shabby appearance, how much money can she pay at the Women's Medical Department?"
While waiting, there were a lot of voices of discussion in the guest seats, and everyone felt that the things were stolen by Lin Mumu, and they didn't think about other possibilities at all.
If it was said that the hairpin crown was not stolen by Lin Mumu in the end, they might still feel disappointed.
It didn't take long for Lan Qinzhu to hurriedly come over with the maid who was looking for someone.
"I just accidentally twisted my foot, how did I become a thief who stole the hairpin crown?" Before the people arrived, everyone heard Lan Qinzhu's angry voice.
Soon, Lan Qinzhu limped in front of people.
Seeing her like this, Mrs. Meng stepped forward to support her, but Lan Qinzhu avoided her hand. "Auntie, you have to explain to me!"
Seeing that she was angry, Mrs. Meng was softly relieved. "Don't listen to those subordinates' nonsense, what they steal or not is that they misunderstood, how can my aunt believe that you are the one who stole Fei'er's hairpin crown? It's because all the guests have arrived, but we didn't see you and Doctor Lin, so we sent someone to look for it, I'm afraid that you will have a mistake, you see how you hurt your foot? ”
Hearing Mrs. Meng say this, Lan Qinzhu's face softened slightly. Variety Literature
"I accidentally fell and sprained my foot, and I've been drugged, so it's no big deal."
"Fell? You're too careless, kid, hurry, don't hurry up and help Miss Cousin to sit down. ”
Lan Qinzhu's feet were really uncomfortable, and she didn't shirk it and sat down directly on the chair.
"Cousin, what about Doctor Lin, isn't she with you?"
"I accidentally lost my earrings when I was playing with her in the garden, and I asked Mu Mu to help me find them because of my foot injury." Lan Qinzhu replied.
Meng Nanfei nodded suddenly. "Is the garden where my cousin went to the persimmon orchard on the west side of the backyard?"
"yes, there's a lot of persimmon trees in there anyway."
Meng Nanfei looked at the maid kneeling on the ground again. "When you went to the clean room, which room did you put the box in?"
The maid suddenly came back to her senses and said, "Yes, it's the rest house on the edge of the persimmon orchard on the west side of the backyard!" The slave and maid happened to be passing by at that time, and at that time, the slave and maid saw that there was no one around and let it in. ”
Meng Nanfei and the maid answered this question, and almost didn't say that Lin Mumu was the one who stole the hairpin crown.
As soon as the words fell, the maid who went to look for someone came back to reply. "Madam, the slaves and maids searched around the village and didn't see Doctor Lin."
Mrs. Meng frowned slightly. "Have you looked for them all? Every room went in and looked at it? ”
"Yes, the slaves and maids have all seen it, but they haven't seen Doctor Lin."
"How come, how can a good person not be found?"
"It's not like stealing something and sneaking away for fear of being discovered."
"I can't say for sure, I'll just say that she stole it, and you didn't believe it just now."
No one can be found, and everyone's suspicion of Lin Mumu is even worse, obviously there is no evidence, they just believe that Lin Mumu is the one who stole things.
On the way here, Lan Qinzhu listened to the maid who was looking for her talk about what happened here, and now she felt that the audience's discussion was coming, and she dared to feel that Lin Mumu was a thief who stole things.
"Auntie, Mu Mu is helping me find earrings, it is absolutely impossible for her to steal something."
"What my cousin said is, I also believe that Doctor Lin will not be such a person, but cousin, where can you say that Doctor Lin can go?" Meng Nanfei wondered.
"Your Zhuangzi is so big, and there are not enough people to serve, Mu Mu may be lost, and it is not surprising that he can't find his direction for a while."
At this time, Lin Mumu, who was being looked for by everyone, arrived at the back door of the villa.
Lin Mumu looked at Zhao Hanjun in front of him, only to feel the green tendons in front of his forehead.
"Lin Mumu, why didn't you go to see the main hall before?" Zhao Hanjun took a step closer towards Lin Mumu.
Lin Mumu subconsciously stepped back and distanced herself from him. "Your Highness also knows that my female doctor's office is busy, where is the spare time to do anything else?"
Zhao Hanjun furrowed his brows. "When did you coax Uncle Wang to marry you, Lin Mumu, don't forget that you are a woman in this palace!"
Hearing this, Lin Mumu showed a look of great surprise. "Your Highness, what kind of dream is this!"
Zhao Hanjun's face became ugly. "What do you say! Do you think that if you climb the high branch of Uncle Wang, you can abandon the main hall!? ”
Lin Mumu frowned. "Your Highness, don't talk nonsense, what does it mean to climb the high branch of the king, it is clear that I and the king are in love!"
Zhao Hanjun felt that a large grassland was green above his head! The whole person became gloomy. "Lin Mumu, what you said to the main hall before were all deceitful to the main hall?!"
Lin Mumu blinked innocently. "Your Highness, don't be angry, women, they are all fickle, and I can't say that I deceived Your Highness, but my heart has changed, there is no shortage of women around such excellent people as Your Highness, I still think it's more interesting to be Your Highness's imperial sister-in-law, I still have something to do over there, Your Highness has nothing to do, I'll leave first."
"You want to go, it's not that easy!" Seeing that Lin Mumu was leaving, Zhao Hanjun blocked her way on the side of her body.
Lin Mumu also had no intention of dealing with him. "What does the third prince mean by this, if you don't agree, you will use force?"
Zhao Hanjun looked angry. "Lin Mumu, if you dare to lie to me, I will let you know the consequences today!" As he spoke, Zhao Hanjun stretched out his hand and grabbed Lin Mumu.
Lin Mumu had long been on guard, and when Zhao Hanjun's hand was about to catch her, she quickly stabbed the silver needle in her hand into his tiger's mouth.
Zhao Hanjun was in pain and had to withdraw his hand.
Lin Mumu took the opportunity to turn around and run.
"Lin Mumu, you stop in the main hall!"
Lin Mumu didn't look back, her steps were bigger, she would listen to him!
Zhao Hanjun chased two steps but stopped, looking at Lin Mumu's back as he ran away, his face was gloomy to the extreme. "Lin Mumu, if you dare to deceive and play with this hall, then don't blame this hall for being unkind to you!"
