Chapter 16: How Should She Answer?

"You..."

The young man pointed at Lin Miao, his face was shocked, and he immediately calmed down again, and said, "Do you think I'm afraid of suing the official?" Your family is so poor, how can you have so much as ten taels of silver, and this silver is either stolen or robbed. ”

Lin Miao took a step forward, a hint of fierceness flashed in his eyes, and said, "Okay, if you are not afraid of seeing the official, then leave, I don't believe that the official master can still wronged the good people."

The young man seemed to think of something, his eyes flashed, and he was about to speak again, when a deep voice came from the wine shop: "What's the matter?" ”

Everyone followed the sound and saw a middle-aged man about forty years old, with a big round face and a short beard, walking over in a bold manner.

He wore a rabbit-fur round hat, a dark red robe, a black belt around his waist, and boots covered with black cloth on his feet.

When the young man saw him, he immediately greeted him and said, "Shopkeeper, Lin Xi stole the silver."

When Chen Baicai, the shopkeeper heard this, his eyes fell on Lin Xi, and he was just about to speak, when he saw Lin Miao standing beside Lin Xi, a trace of surprise flashed in his eyes, and after taking a look, he quietly turned back to Lin Xi, and said: "Lin Xi, I know that your family is in difficulty, but in this situation, who is not in difficulty?" You can't steal because I won't advance your monthly silver. ”

Chen Baicai felt that what he said was very good, and he was very bitter, which fully reflected the difficulties of the world.

Lin Xi broke away from the hands of the two people who were holding him, straightened up, and said, "I didn't, this silver was not stolen, yes, yes..."

"What is it? Why don't you dare to speak out. The young man's eyes sparkled, as if he were a beast that had seen its prey.

Lin Miao felt a little inexplicable, this young man's attitude was too strange, just when she wanted to step forward to ask Lin Xi, there was a commotion outside the wine shop, and before she could see clearly, several girls walked in.

The girls looked fifteen or sixteen years old, and unlike the girls in the village, they were all wearing long skirts, combing their hair in a bun, and their faces were covered with powder.

Chen Baicai saw the girls and hurriedly stepped forward and saluted: "Baicai has seen the eldest lady and the second lady."

The apprentices in the shop also hurriedly followed suit, including Lin Xi, and at this moment, Lin Miao felt as if the national leader had come to inspect.

As for the two young ladies, which one is the eldest and the other, she hasn't figured it out yet.

"What are you talking about?"

The girl in the green dress opened her mouth first, she looked delicate, with phoenix eyes, Qiong nose, cherry mouth, and spoke like a pearl and jade, crisp and beautiful.

Chen Baicai hurriedly replied: "Back to the second miss, it was Fang Gui who found out that Lin Xi seemed to have stolen other people's property."

This one of his seems to be used just right, and no matter what happens to Lynsey in the end, it has nothing to do with him.

Second Miss Chen Xiuli let out a long sigh and said, "Our family is doing a serious business, such a person can't be kept, so send it to the official to deal with it." Sister, what do you say? ”

Miss Chen Xiuling, who was named, walked forward slowly, her beige dress swaying slightly with her steps, like a blooming lily.

With an elegant figure and handsome facial features, she glanced at Lin Xi and said, "Does he admit that he stole other people's property?"

Chen Baicai shook his head, and stopped talking.

The young man Fang Gui saw the stitches and said eagerly: "The little one saw that Lin Xi got up early today and went out sneakily, so he secretly followed behind, and sure enough, he took the silver and went to the hospital to grab medicine." Yesterday, he was penniless, and today he was able to take out ten taels of silver, which must have been stolen. ”

"Your logic is really funny, haven't you heard of getting rich overnight?"

Lin Miao sneered, it was the first time she had seen such an unreasonable person, and she had a problem with her brain.

Fang Gui ignored Lin Miao, took two steps forward towards Miss Chen Er, took out a purse from his arms, handed it to Chen Xiuli, Second Miss Chen, and said, "Second Miss, look, the purse is also embroidered, and it looks like a rich family's thing."

Lin Miao's eyes fell on the purse, the azure purse was embroidered with a few dark green bamboo leaves, which looked very elegant.

Just as he was about to ask, he saw Miss Chen Er exclaiming: "This, this, isn't this the eldest sister's purse?" I remember that the eldest sister has such a purse, how can this purse be in his hand? ”

She said and looked at Chen Xiuling, as if waiting for her answer.

Chen Xiuling was stunned for a moment, no wonder her own sister urged her to get up early in the morning, saying that her father asked them to inspect the shop, it turned out to be this reason.

Thinking of this, her eyes fell on the purse, this is indeed her purse, it was given to Lin Xi by her, but she didn't expect it to be seen by someone with a heart.

How should she answer?

She knew that this was her so-called sister who was playing tricks on her, and if she didn't admit it, Lin Xi would be sent to the official, and if she did, she would say that she had a private relationship with a foreign man.

Do you receive it privately?

Hehe... She sneered twice, and her gaze fell on Lin Xi's face, which was a handsome face, with thick eyebrows and big eyes, and once, she saw the most sincere concern on this face.

Because Chen Xiuling was silent for a long time, Ye Qing, the maid standing behind her, had an anxious look in her eyes, and the hand hidden in her sleeve was clenched and loosened, she was struggling with whether she should kneel down, saying that she stole out the purse and gave it to Lin Xi.

She knew it was the best way, but if she did, she would be killed, she didn't want to die yet, she was afraid of death.

Chen Xiuli didn't seem surprised that her good sister didn't say anything, turned her head to look at Lin Xi, and shouted angrily: "Okay, you thief, you actually stole to Miss Ben's house, come on, arrest him and send him to the official."

Before she could finish speaking, the apprentices flocked to Linsey, and the people who stopped outside the shop pointed at him because of these words.

Lin Miao pulled Lin Xi back a few steps, leaned her back against the counter and said loudly: "Hey, Miss Chen Er, your sister didn't say that this was her purse at all, why did you say that my brother stole her purse?"

Everyone stopped when they heard this, and they all turned their heads to look at Chen Xiuli.

Chen Xiuli looked Lin Miao up and down, her eyes were full of disdain, and she snorted coldly and said, "This kind of high-grade brocade, do you think anyone can buy it?"

"Miss Ben is happy to tell you today that there are no more than three families in Gaoqiao Town for this kind of Yuehua brocade, and the embroidery on this purse, as long as it is compared with my eldest sister, you can immediately confirm whether it is her embroidered purse."

Lin Miao instantly remembered some things in her memory, such as everyone's stitching habits in embroidery.

In this way, this purse is really the eldest lady's, why is this eldest lady's purse in the hands of my brother?

With such a question, she moved her eyes to Chen Xiuling, only to see her step forward, take the purse from Fang Gui's hand, and said lightly: "This purse and silver were given to Lin Xi by me, and my grandfather often taught us to repay our kindness and treat our subordinates well when he was alive."

"Lin Xi is not only a descendant of our family, he also saved me, this time his family is in trouble, I naturally have to contribute, what, do you have any objections to my grandfather's words?"
