Chapter 270: Clearing Grievances
Pressing the clear in his heart, Qi Yunshu looked at the hairpin carefully, and found that there was a flaw on the bright Dongzhu jade hairpin from a distance, originally the jade was surrounded by a circle of small pearls that were as bright as jade, and the specifications should be twenty-four, but at this time, it was obvious that one was missing from the outer circle, and looking at the traces, it should have just fallen short.
She turned her mind and pointed to the missing beads on it to show Mama Qiu, and she was so frightened that her body couldn't move, and her face turned pale.
"Don't worry, look at the traces of this bead falling, it was forcibly dragged down, I don't think you dare!" Generally, when making jewelry, especially in the palace, there will never be such a situation where the pearl falls.
"Yes, who did that?" Mama Qiu looked at her questioningly, as if she had done it!
"You don't care who made it for the time being, just answer me if this hairpin was intact before?"
Mama Qiu hesitated for a moment, as if she was trying her best to recall, and quickly replied in the affirmative: "That's right, I checked it in the morning!" ”
Qi Yunshu asked coldly, "Really?" Can anyone prove it to you? ”
"Roses, roses can, she takes care of the old lady's jewelry with me, and we have to check and maintain them every day!"
Qi Yunshu looked at the girl ring that Qin Wumei had called before, and got her affirmation.
"I'm sure it's in good condition when I check it in the morning!" Rose was different from Mama Qiu's hesitation, she was very sure, and took out a small notebook, which was full of the number of jewelry registered to be checked every day and their current status.
Qi Yunshu couldn't help but secretly praise the old lady Qin's jewelry, and the carefulness of the work of Rose and others.
Needless to say, their good habits gave her a great opportunity to clear her grievances at this time!
"Hmph, stealing is stealing! What are you doing here! Qin Wumei glanced at her and said cool words, she didn't believe that she really had a way to prove anything, in her opinion, she just wanted to delay some time and wait for help.
It's a pity that the people at the door have already listened to her orders and will never let anyone who has anything to do with Qi Yunshu in!
No one else spoke, only she came forward again and again However, Qi Yunshu couldn't help but look at her twice, and after seeing the malice in her eyes, she snorted coldly and smiled meaningfully.
After a glance, I saw that there was still no satin red figure beside her, just right! She whispered past the magpie and whispered a command.
The magpie nodded busily, indicating that she had been on the lookout for her in the first place, and knew where she would be.
Qi Yunshu was overjoyed and told her to go and come back quickly!
The magpie took the order and left, Qi Yunshu delayed a little, and then looked at the old lady Qi, the other party bowed to her, with encouragement, she cheered up and said loudly: "The Dongzhu jade hairpin is indeed not taken by me, and it has nothing to do with my maid ring!" ”
"Okay, don't be foolish, you can tell me about it, something is found on you and it says it's not you, who will it be?" Qin Rongrui couldn't help but be curious in her heart and urged.
Qi Yunshu saw that their eyes were focused on her at this time, and the magpie beside her had already brought the person she wanted, and said loudly: "The thief shouts to catch the thief, the thief here is her!" Her fingers swirled around the circle before resting on the satin red body that the magpie had caught.
"What, satin? How can it be? Qin Wumei was the first to shout!
"This is just a little girl, how could she steal something from the old lady's yard!" Some people questioned.
Qi Yunshu snorted coldly: "It's not her, who is it, I have evidence to prove that it's her!" ”
"You...... You are talking nonsense, slaves and maids don't! The slave didn't do any of these things! The master saves the slave and the maid! Satin-red cried so hard that she wanted to rush to Qin Wumei's side.
Qin Wumei's face was also blue and red with anger, and she loudly scolded Qi Yunshu for going too far, and she shouldn't just frame her in order to escape punishment.
Qi Yunshu stepped forward and grabbed satin, sniffed slightly, with a clear look on her face, then looked at her body again, handed the magpie a look, the magpie nodded, pinched her wrist, and took out a pink and round pearl from her underwear.
"Please see if this pearl was set on the hairpin before?"
After Mama Qiu got it, she looked at it carefully, talked to the rose for a while, and then nodded affirmatively: "That's right, this is it!" ”
Qi Yunshu smiled, this answer was tantamount to telling them that the one who stole the hairpin was satin red!
"Satin, what do you mean, how do I teach you on weekdays, so that you don't want to be greedy for small 1 cheap, you have to pick up things when you see something outside, it's good now, you have to pick it up!" Qin Wumei panicked, and immediately pointed at satin red and scolded.
As soon as Satinhong heard that picking it up was better than stealing, she quickly knelt down and admitted her mistake: "The master spares his life, the master spares his life, the slave is wrong, the slave is wrong, the slave and the maid should not listen to the master's words, and pick up this pearl on the ground without handing it over...... No, it's not, the slave wanted to turn it in, but it was too busy to do so! ”
"Useless!"
Yes, yes, slaves are useless, slaves are useless...... "Satin-red is worthy of being a thick-skinned person, and those words that hurt people's self-esteem are very smooth when she says them, and she doesn't feel a little uncomfortable.
Qi Yunshu thought that she had such skills, no wonder she dared to do such a thing, maybe it was not the first time she had done it!
But do they think they can avoid it this way? That's impossible!
She looked around and looked at the lively expressions on everyone's faces, Qi Yunshu understood, to put it bluntly, as long as something was found, these people didn't pay much attention to the development process of things, but it was just lively and comfortable for a while! ”
As for whether she stole it or her, there was no essential difference between them!
But for her, she thinks of heaven and hell, and she naturally can't tolerate these people splashing her dirty water like this, so that those who have done bad things can escape!
Qi Yunshu took a step forward and pointed at Qin Wumei and Satin, "You said you picked it up on the ground, right?" ”
The two nodded in unison, and Qin Wumei thought that she had nothing to do, so she sneered, raised her eyelids, and made an expression that she was going to be unlucky.
Satin red nodded in fear, like a tumbler, only nodding up and down.
Her fear and fear all fell into Qi Yunshu's eyes, and she became more and more sure that the person who stole the hairpin must be her, and the perpetrator of the blame was also her!
"Since I just picked up the beads that fell from the hairpin, it means that it is impossible to touch this hairpin!"
"Yes, of course, we have satin red to serve people, although it is not good, but she is not a petty thief like you and delusional to blame others!"
Qi Yunshu smiled, laughing like a fairy, and her voice was pleasant: "Okay, since she hasn't touched this hairpin, why does this hairpin smell on it?" ”
"What, the taste, how is that possible!" Qin Wumei denied it, but her heart was inexplicably empty.
And the other people on the side also muttered because of this sentence, this Qi Yunshu was so careful, where no one else had thought of it, she actually thought of it all at once.
Mrs. Qi looked at Mama Qiu with the hairpin with an expectant expression, signaling that she wanted to smell it.
Mama Qiu didn't dare to refuse, so she hurriedly put it on the red paint tray and let her smell it. Mrs. Qi fanned the wind gently, there was a smell of fragrant powder on it, it smelled really uncomfortable, she frowned, and looked at Qi Yunshu: "Girl, what kind of smell is this?" ”
Qi Yunshu stepped forward, she didn't have to hold it in her hand, she only needed to sniff it lightly.
"This is the smell of inferior incense powder sold by street vendors!" She explained softly, then pointed to the pink pearl she was holding in her hand:
"That bead has this smell on it, and she has exactly the same smell on her body, so she is lying, this hairpin was first stolen by her from Mrs. Qin, and then secretly hid the hairpin in the pile of clothes I changed while I was changing clothes.
I was on guard, but I only checked the new clothes and forgot to check the dirty clothes that I had replaced, so that she could succeed. It's a pity that she was very secret, and when she saw the pearl on the hairpin, she was happy to hunt her, so she pulled the bead from the top and wanted to go out for a big price! ”
Qi Yunshu had already guessed, but at this time, he had empirical evidence to tell the story, and everything he said was true, as if people had experienced it personally.
"Hmph, that's a nice thing to say, and it sounds like it's true, but you don't have any proof of it!" Qin Wumei was shocked, but she was not a person who had not experienced wind and rain, and soon thought that she had grabbed her tail and attacked her wantonly.
"It's just your speculation, you can't explain it at all!" Qin Rongrui looked at Qi Yunshu with interest. Although she has the same meaning as Qin Wumei, it can be seen that she is watching more of the lively component, rather than Qin Wumei's attack on Qi Yunshu.
"That's a good question, didn't I just say that this hairpin is stained with the smell of inferior incense powder on her body. If it's not hers, do you think it's Rose Girl who is using it, or Mama Qiu is using it? ”
In a large family like Qinhou Mansion, the incense powder used by the Yahuan mother-in-law in front of the master is either uniformly prepared in the house, or ordered from a high-end rouge shop outside with a private house.
Who dares to use inferior incense powder in circles around the master all day long? It's only people like satin red who have to pick up Qin Wumei's silk to make leftovers for their clothes like satin red!
As soon as these words were asked, Qin Wumei, who knew the whole thing, was speechless all of a sudden.
However, when Mama Qiu heard that she was mentioned, she quickly clarified that she had never used incense powder when she was old, and the rose stepped forward to smell it, frowned, and glanced at the satin red with strange eyes.
Qi Yunshu saw her like this and knew that she must be a person with a very smart nose: "This taste...... Rose girl is afraid that she doesn't smell it very often! ”
Rose hesitated for a moment and looked at Old Madam Qin.
"You have a good nose, you want to smell something, you just have to say it boldly!" Old Madam Qin was attracted by Qi Yunshu's narration, temporarily put aside her prejudices, and encouraged Rose to tell the truth, she also wanted to hear the truth!
Rose got the permission of her master, and said loudly: "Yes, old lady, what Mrs. Zhao said is right, there is indeed a smell of satin on it, she passed in front of me earlier, I smelled it!" ”
Hearing this, Qi Yunshu breathed a sigh of relief and looked at the rose gratefully, thanking her for telling the truth!
You must know that she is now a suspect, and she is here to say that I am afraid that everyone may not be able to believe her, but Rose is different, she is Mrs. Qin's person, and she has already shown her innocence by personally confirming this matter!
The onlookers were shocked by the news for a while, just a moment ago they thought that what Qi Yunshu said was completely impossible, just a fallen pearl and smelling the smell of the crime to wash away the charge, how could this be possible?
