When the old man of the Bai family heard her words, he felt a little curious, since he was not from the Yamen, what reason did he have to come to the door to investigate the case? Why? They were even more sensible than the people from the Yamen?

But since they had already given the reason, he was embarrassed to refuse them, so he took the embroidered handkerchief from Su Yang's hand, looked at it carefully, and couldn't help but chuckle: "There are more such handkerchiefs in our house, girl, this doesn't mean anything." ”

"But this embroidered handkerchief is different, your family said, this is used by Ling Ai every day, and he brings it on his body, how can the master not know it?"

When she said this, Master Bai remembered that this embroidered handkerchief was worn by the eldest lady of his family every day, and he never left an inch, but the eldest lady had never gone out, so how could she leave this thing outside?

Thinking about it like this, he felt a little strange, he finally straightened his expression and asked: "Our girl has never been a person who has never left the door, how could she throw such a thing outside, is it a thief?"

"This is for you, sir, if you want, you might as well call Ling Ai out, and let's confront it face to face. ”

Now that everything is in someone's hands, Master Bai is not disobedient to them, so he asked the family to call the eldest lady.

Not long after, a group of maids came out of the house surrounded by a girl dressed in white, who was holding a fan in her hand to cover her face.

I saw her come forward and salute her father, and then greet everyone: "I've seen my father, I've seen you." ”

"Rong'er, this embroidered handkerchief is yours?"

Master Bai didn't beat around the bush with her, and directly handed her the handkerchief and asked her to identify it herself.

Bai Yuerong looked at the embroidered handkerchief, and was suddenly shocked, this Fang Xiu was afraid that he had been lost for many days, and he was finally found, but at such a time?

"Back to her father, this thing is indeed the daughter's good, but the daughter has not seen it for many days, and I really don't know where she found it. ”

When Su Yang heard her say this, she also began to have some doubts, since it is not Bai Yuerong's, then who will it be?

"White girl, think about it carefully, have you ever given this veil to anyone, or is there any clue to the person who picked it up?"

Despite this, Su Yang still had no intention of giving up, and after repeated questions, Bai Yuerong finally remembered something.

"Hmm...... I remembered, some time ago there was a maid of mine, I suspected that she stole my embroidered handkerchief, she never dared to admit it, originally I thought, this thing is not precious, give it to her, but she refused to admit it after all, I heard that it was missing in the past two days. ”

"Can you tell me, then, what is the name of that servant?"

"It's called a fawn. ”

Bai Yuerong said this, and seemed to have noticed the word "deer" on the embroidered handkerchief, and now it can be confirmed that the woman in the alley is the deer, and the embroidered handkerchief was stolen by her.

"Master Bai, when your family first bought a handmaid, did you record where each handmaid lived?"

Master Bai touched his chin and thought for a long time, and replied slowly: "It seems to have been recorded, but some maidservants have bought it for a long time, and maybe the record will be lost." ”

"Dad, she bought it back last year, so she will definitely be able to find out. ”

Bai Yuerong is very tolerant of this girl's ability, but today this girl caused trouble, and she naturally couldn't continue to cover it up.

"Girl, let's go to the bookkeeper and take out the booklet, and you wait here. ”

Saying that, Master Bai took the housekeeper to the account room, leaving only Bai Yuerong and Su Yang and his party waiting in the front hall.

Bai Yuerong sat on the stool next to her, slightly cramped, Su Yang squinted at her, feeling that the atmosphere was very embarrassing, so she took the initiative to talk to her: "Girl, how does that girl have to do with you?"

"You mean the fawn?" Bai Yuerong heard her mention the fawn, her eyes were slightly sad, and she put on an expression of hatred for iron and steel, and sighed, "She is a good girl, her hands and feet are very diligent, but occasionally she steals, and it is not the first time, every time I tolerate her, but this time, I don't know why, she just doesn't want to admit that the embroidered handkerchief was stolen by her." ”

Xiaolu is a maidservant girl bought by the Bai family two years ago, I heard that the family is very poor, so I started to work around to make money very early, and when I grew up, I handed myself over to Ya Po, just to exchange some money to support my younger brother.

After coming to the Bai family to be a maid, she was very diligent in her work and work, but her hands and feet were not very clean, so Bai Yuerong had forgiven her several times, but she just didn't change, Bai Yuerong also knew that her family was poor, so she didn't dig deeper.

"White girl, fawn...... was bullied, maybe she wasn't missing, she didn't want to go back by herself. ”

When Bai Yuerong heard this, she was so frightened that she lost her face, thinking about it, when the deer went out to buy things, the clothes on her body were all good, and it was normal to be robbed of money and color, but it was a pity, such a good girl, she was bullied at a young age, how can she live in the future?

"It's a shame. ”

Not long after, Master Bai came back with the housekeeper, and what he held in his hand was the booklet that recorded the names and origins of the maids, and he looked through it carefully, and really found the deer.

"That girl lives in Peach Blossom Lane, she didn't say which one it is, you go over there and look for it, maybe you can find it." ”

Although he didn't know the specific address, it was good to know this, Su Yang got such news, so he thanked Master Bai, and then went to Peach Blossom Lane.

When everyone rushed to Peach Blossom Lane, it was about dusk, the location here was remote, sparsely populated, and it was easy to find.

"My daughter has returned, please come back. ”

The old woman looked at the people in brocade clothes in front of her, and naturally became vigilant, but Su Yang felt that there was something strange in it, it stands to reason that the old woman in front of her should look like she should be fifty or sixty years old, Xiaolu is still a young woman, how can she have such an old mother......?

As soon as she waved her hand, several small servants who followed behind her rushed up, pushing the old woman aside, and Su Yang took the others in.

"Search me carefully! No one can be left behind!"

With her order, the little servants immediately responded, searched around for a while, and got some results.

"Ma'am!"
