But now this Li Jinshu is sitting firmly on the chair, without the slightest intention of going with her, if there is a disturbance here, so many people are watching, maybe it will spread outside.

When the mother of the house covets her niece's things, she takes them for herself and takes them for herself, which is okay to do behind closed doors, and it becomes a joke when it is passed out, and it is really cheap in front of other ladies.

How did you get opened? Mother Wu glanced at the mother-in-law kneeling on the side hatefully, as long as she didn't open the door, it was easy to say. Now in this form, I can only go back and tell the second lady.

Mother Wu smiled and said to Li Jinshu: "What the second lady is worried about is that the slave maid is not thoughtful, and the slave maid will go back and inform the second lady of the situation." ”

The weather was very hot when it was almost summer, Li Jinshu sat in a chair in the shade, fanned by the green calyx, and the mother-in-law kneeling under the sun was sweating, but she didn't dare to move to the shade where Li Jinshu was.

I used to hear people say that the second lady of this long house is a good servant, and she is a stuffy gourd on weekdays, and she only likes to hide in the house to see medical skills, and rarely walks around in other courtyards, let alone cares about people. Now it seems that this second lady is much more terrible than the other young ladies in the house, and she is silent on weekdays, and she is really angry with the kind lord.

The mother-in-law thought in her heart, and secretly glanced at Li Jinshu, the girl sat straight on the chair, neither impatient nor restless, she just sat on the chair and waited, not worried at all that the second lady would not come.

Sure enough, after a while, the second lady hurried over with the support of Wu's mother.

The scorching sun shone overhead, and the second lady who rushed over was drenched in sweat, she wiped her sweat and stood in front of the refreshing Li Jinshu, slightly embarrassed.

Li Jinshu got up and saluted, gave up his place to the second lady, stood aside and said, "Auntie, my belongings have been stolen, and there are only a few items left in a whole cart of supplies. ”

The second lady nodded: "I have already heard what Mother Wu said, don't worry, I will definitely investigate to the end and give you an explanation." ”

Li Jinshu pointed to the mother-in-law kneeling next to her: "This is very good, this person is the most suspicious, it is better to start with her." ”

The mother-in-law kowtowed again and again: "Second lady, second lady Mingjian, the slave and maid really don't know anything, the slave and maid have been here and conscientiously watching the door, and they don't dare to have the slightest neglect, a few days ago, the housekeeper Zhou's mother came to check the materials in the house......"

Speaking of this, the mother-in-law looked up at Mother Wu who was standing next to the second lady, and saw Mother Wu nodding slightly before continuing to say: "After Mother Zhou came, the slave gave Mother Zhou the key, and never opened the door of the warehouse again. ”

The second lady asked sternly, "Are you telling the truth?" Has anyone else been in this barn? ”

The mother-in-law shook her head again and again: "No, no, no one else has entered." ”

The second lady asked again, "Have you ever lost your key?" ”

"Ahem." Mother Wu cleared her throat on the side.

The mother-in-law pondered for a moment, looked at Wu's mother's face and said, "Maybe...... Was it lost? ”

Seeing Mother Wu's slight nod, she went down and said, "It's lost...... The slave had drunk too much before, and the key was missing, but then she found it again. ”

The second lady scolded: "You slave, why are you so careless." If you lose the key, you should report it immediately, and you won't end up with the same loss as you do today. Although it was not the property you stole from, you were also negligent in your duties. ”

When the mother-in-law heard this, she was paralyzed to the ground in fright, but when she thought that she had been beaten, even if this matter was over, she would not be sold again, and she no longer defended, so she let two servants with big shoulders and round waists come forward, pulled her over, and crackled.

The second lady looked at Li Jinshu and said: "The loss of this item is very complicated, this woman has lost the key, anyone in the house is willing to be a thief, this matter needs to be investigated in detail, I am afraid that the results will not be available today, these days I will ask the maids in the house carefully one by one, if something is asked, let's continue to interrogate." ”
