Chapter 41: The Thief
"Do you suspect that Chu Yue'an's silver tickets are coming from the wrong way?" Zhao Qianru frowned slightly, pondered for a moment, as if she was thinking about something.
"There must be a problem! She had been crazy for more than half a year before, and she didn't have half a penny a month, even if she had a lot of silver before, she had already been looted by Mama Fan. It's only been a few days since she's back to normal, how can she have so much money? As soon as she made a move, it was a hundred taels, which means that she should have more on her! Chu Yuezi said, her eyes rolled a little, "Could it be stolen?" ”
The mother has never been harsh to the other children in terms of living materials, and will not let people hold such an obvious handle, but they are indeed very close in terms of monthly routines, and it can be said that although they do not maliciously eat less, they have absolutely no extra silver to squander.
"The bookkeeper didn't say anything was lost!" Zhao Qianru's eyes narrowed, "I remembered another thing, could she have sold the treasures given by His Majesty, just two days ago, I received the news that the dead girl who picked the stars had been in and out of the pawnshop!" ”
"Chu Yue has no long things, and being able to pawn so much silver can only be something that His Majesty has rewarded." Chu Yuezi said, "Pawning something from His Majesty's Imperial Gift, if it is known, it is a capital crime!" ”
Zhao Qianru's eyes showed a fierce look: "If this is really the case, then even if she dies by herself, she can't complain that we are ruthless!" ”
"But she won't admit that she pawned something."
"Hmph, isn't that easy?" Zhao Qianru sneered, pulled off the hairpin on her head and threw it under the cabinet, "There is a thief in the house, come here, call the master, search each yard carefully, be sure to let the thief have no place to be buried, and take a good inventory of the property in the other courtyard, if there is any loss, report it to the account room." ”
Night falls.
Chu Yue'an set up a rocking chair in the courtyard, she was blowing the cool breeze at night, while looking at the stars in the night sky, and she didn't know if the stars she saw today were the same as the ones she saw in her previous life.
At this time, there was a noisy call outside, and Cai Xing hurriedly led someone to open the door.
"What's going on? What do you want to do? The star picker stopped the person, "What kind of place are you supposed to be?" Did you break it if you wanted to?
The head of the nursing home hugged his fists and said: "Disturb the second lady to rest, there is a thief in the house, we are here to search, first, to check that the thief is hiding in Tianhe Courtyard, don't let him hurt the second lady and the girls, and secondly, to count whether there is any loss of property, but also to report to the account room, and dispose of it together." ”
"We don't have thieves here, we don't lose anything." Caixing said coldly, "Please leave!" ”
"Pick the stars, let them in." Chu Yuean shook his fan and shouted, "If they want to search, they can search it." But they're a bunch of men who are rude, you and them, don't let them mess things up. ”
"Yes." Cai Xing turned sideways and entered the nursing home.
Several nurses immediately entered Tianhe Courtyard and searched in various rooms, and Cai Xing hurriedly called two maids to watch them, so as not to make any mess.
In a short time, several nursing homes had already been searched, and one person walked towards Chu Yue'an.
"Is there anything you're looking for? Chu Yue'an raised her eyes and asked softly.
"Second Miss." The nursing courtyard hugged his fists, "Tianhe courtyard seems to have lost something......"
"Is there one?" Chu Yuean said lightly, "What did you lose?" ”
"Last time, His Majesty seemed to have been given nearly ten treasures, and all of them were carried to the second lady's Tianhe Courtyard at that time, why haven't you seen anything now?"
"I've put things away, you don't have to worry about this, you haven't lost it." Chu Yue'an said lightly, "If there is nothing else, you can leave." ”
"Second Miss, forgive me, it's not that the small one must be embarrassed by the Second Miss, but Mrs. instructed that if there is a loss of property in each hospital, it must be reported...... Now that Tianhe Courtyard has lost His Majesty's reward, this is a top priority, if the imperial gift is really not lost, then the second Miss will take out the things and count them, so that we can rest assured. ”
The fan in Chu Yue'an's hand stopped, she got up from the rocking chair, and looked coldly at the nursing home in front of her: "I just said, I didn't lose anything, don't you believe my words?" Or does my word not work? There's nothing to do with you here, so let's get out. ”
"Second Miss, we are also thinking about the Hou Mansion, for the sake of Second Miss!" The nurse's tone also became stiff, "If the second lady has to go her own way, then we can only ask Mrs. to come and inquire about this matter in person." ”
Chu Yue'an hooked her lips and sneered: "What's the matter?" Do you want to use my wife to suppress me? But that's your business, even if the lady comes, I'll have to do what I want. ”
The nurse immediately made a look, and a small servant behind him understood, and immediately ran out, and went to ask the lady to come and deal with the matter.
And at this moment, Zhao Qianru and Chu Yuezi are anxiously waiting for the news, hoping that Chu Yue'an will not be able to take out the royal gift, and now the little girl will come back to report, as they expected.
"I'll just say, there's a problem." Chu Yuezi sneered, "She Chu Yue'an is too bold, this time I want to see who can protect her!" ”
Zhao Qianru patted her daughter's hand and said softly: "I'll deal with this matter, don't get involved in it, just wait for my news here." ”
Whether it is good or bad, she hopes that her daughter can stay out of the matter, and in the eyes of outsiders, Yuezi will always be pure and clean without any pollution from the world.
Subsequently, Zhao Qianru came to Tianhe Courtyard with a few grandmothers and maids, and as soon as she entered the door, she asked, "What's the matter?" But there's a thief here? How did I hear that the second girl lost all the treasures given by the emperor! ”
Chu Yue'an raised her eyebrows and smiled faintly: "Mrs. Lao Fu has personally run this trip, but this dog slave can't even understand the news, Tianhe Courtyard has not been robbed, and he has not lost anything!" ”
"Oh?" Zhao Qianru pretended to be angry and glared at the nursing home, "What the hell is going on?" ”
The guardian cupped his fists and said, "It's true that I don't see those imperial gifts." ”
"As I said, I've hidden things." Chu Yue'an said lightly, "All are safe and sound." ”
"I'm not afraid of 10,000, I'm afraid of what if, these thieves now are unguardable, we all care about you, I'm afraid that you will suffer, the second girl might as well take out all the treasures given by His Majesty, let's count them face to face, so we can all rest assured, right?"
Zhao Qianru smiled and paused, and continued with a threatening tone, "These things are given by His Majesty, we won't covet half a point, you don't have to be so cautious." But the second girl, you are so pushing, it makes people really suspect that you have lost something! If you really lose it, just say it, although this is a big sin, but we can also find a way to tide over it together, so as not to catch everyone off guard in the future! ”
