Chapter 38: Slamming the Door
Although the old woman was flustered, she still blocked in front of the library door, in her opinion, this young lady of the long house who has no power, no power, no father and no mother, even if she is suspicious, what can she do, she just doesn't hand over the key, how else can she interrogate the other slaves in the house to find clues? Everyone in this house is a human spirit, and the slaves and maids are also protecting each other, not to mention that this is still the meaning of the master above, who is not long-sighted will tell her the truth.
Thinking of this, the old woman was even more fearless, and her hand in front of Li Jinshu was raised up and said, "Second Miss, there is really no key, please go back." ”
Li Jinshu looked at the lock on the door and said loudly: "Come on, smash it open for me!" ”
Li Jinshu's reaction was completely unexpected by the old woman, she felt that as a young lady in the house, she would maintain her usual style of acting as a young lady, that is, to say a few words, at most to stomp away angrily, and then just cry and cry softly, find a way to get the favor of the old lady or the second lady, and then take back her own belongings.
I never thought that these two young ladies would do nothing, and they would smash the door lock directly when they came up, where is this young lady's style of acting, and the village girl in the mountains and wilderness of the market will act so rampage.
Can't let her go in and see inside, the old woman was really a little panicked, she blocked the door of the warehouse and shouted: "Second Miss, you can't do this!" This is the Li family's warehouse, you can't break in directly like this! ”
The old woman prayed in her heart, and the little maid or maid outside heard her shout and hurried to inform the second lady, otherwise once the second lady really opened the warehouse, no matter what, she would be punished, and if she didn't do well, she would be sold.
Thinking of this old woman, she panicked even more, she blocked the door with her body, thinking that if the second lady didn't come, she would resolutely not get out of the way, Li Jinshu, a weak lady in the house, would not be able to do it like a village girl.
As soon as the old woman thought of this, a huge pain suddenly hit her toes.
Li Jinshu took away the foot that was stomping on the mother-in-law's toes, watched the mother-in-law squat down unconsciously because of the pain, covered her toes with her hands and shrunk into a ball, she raised her legs and kicked towards the mother-in-law's side, and the mother-in-law lost her balance with an "ah" and rolled to the side.
Li Jinshu waved his hand to the green calyx: "Smash it open!" ”
"Yes! Miss! The green calyx picked up a big stone under the root of the courtyard and smashed it with a clatter.
After a few hits, the lock opened.
The sound of smashing the lock attracted all the surrounding maids, and everyone secretly watched from afar.
Li Jinshu pushed open the door of the warehouse and walked in.
What catches your eye is rows of shelves, there are many shelves, but there are few things, only a few items are still on the shelves.
The green calyx was dumbfounded, she hurriedly ran to the innermost, looked around, and then ran out and asked the mother-in-law: "Where are the things?" Stuff! Where's our lady's stuff?! ”
The mother-in-law rolled on the ground beside her, and she couldn't speak after listening to the green calyx's questioning.
Green Calyx hurriedly went into the warehouse again to look around, it was still those few scattered objects, she stomped her feet anxiously and angrily: "At that time, I saw that cart of things sent in with my own eyes, why are there only a few pieces left now?" Where did everything go? ”
Seeing that her mother-in-law still didn't speak, she hurriedly tugged at her collar: "What do you say, where are the things?" ”
"Okay, green calyx." Li Jin wrote, she stopped the green calyx's questioning, and instead sat on the chair next to her, "Let's wait for the Lord to come." ”
After a while, I saw Mother Wu beside the second lady hurriedly walking to the warehouse from the outside, and when she got closer, she saw the open warehouse door and the old woman kneeling on the side, her face changed and she hurriedly stepped forward and said to Li Jinshu: "Second Miss, what's wrong?" But this woman is angry with you? After waiting for the slave to return, the second lady severely punished her. Miss, the second lady will let you go, and the young lady will go to the second lady's courtyard with the slave. ”
Li Jinshu sat on the chair and said steadily: "Mother Wu, help me go back and talk to the second lady, just say that there is a thief in the house, I lost this thing for no reason, and I ask the second lady to come over." ”
Mother Wu said: "Second Miss, Madame heard about this and asked me to come over and invite you over, Madame has her own decision, and will never tolerate and connive, please Miss and the slave to go over." ”
Li Jinshu glanced at the maids who were watching around him, and said slowly: "Mother Wu, there have been thieves in this house, and the loss of so many things is a big deal, what I lost today is mine, and what I lost tomorrow is what I lost in the Li Mansion, and in a few days, even the robbers will be able to enter and leave the Li Mansion freely." For such a big event, I think it's better to invite the second lady over, come to see the scene, interrogate the slaves and maids, inquire clearly, and give everyone an explanation. ”
"Mother Wu kept saying to let me go, it's nothing, I'll go to the courtyard of the second room to ask the second lady to finish late, but the second lady doesn't come at this time, I think it's a little inappropriate, as the head of the Li family, the family was robbed, the second lady must be anxious, presumably it is not clear about the specific situation of the first place, so she wants me to go over and ask clearly."
"But the Yamen pays attention to an open and fair inquest of the scene, such a large number of things lost may be a thief, I think Mother Wu still quickly reported the situation here to the second lady, let the second lady know before making a decision, otherwise it will delay the arrest of the thief, affect the reputation of the Li family, and affect the prestige of the second lady's family, Mother Wu, can you afford it?"
Mother Wu scolded secretly in her heart, what a sharp-toothed little hoof! Why didn't I find this girl so eloquent before? The purpose of her coming this time is to drag Li Jinshu from under the eyes of everyone to the courtyard of the second lady, as long as people enter the courtyard of the second lady, it is not up to the second lady to say, and she is not afraid of her making trouble at that time, and the trouble will not go away, at most she will find a scapegoat and dissipate her anger.
