"Xiao Cui, tell me everything you know."

"Yes, miss."

Cui'er responded, explained the matter clearly, then thought about it and said, "Miss, this person went straight to the housekeeper's yard." ”

Nalan Jin ignored the housekeeper's crying, slowly picked up the teacup, took a sip of tea, and then looked at the housekeeper.

"You are the housekeeper recruited by your uncle, since you said that you are innocent, then I will not interfere in this matter, and when my uncle comes back, you can explain it to him."

The housekeeper's heart jumped, but he could only nod his head in response.

Nalan Jin thought of the burden and the little servant, and instructed Xiao Cui: "This stolen goods will be kept by me first, as for this person, I will take it down first, and when my uncle comes back, I will hand it over to him for verification, so as to prove your innocence housekeeper." ”

For some reason, the housekeeper shuddered at Nalan Jin's eyes that saw through everything, and forced to suppress the uneasiness in his heart.

As soon as Dongfang Yi returned home, he heard some things about the housekeeper, and only after asking Nalan Jin did he understand what happened.

Nalan Jin didn't hide it from him, and told everything the truth.

"The third prince has reached out to us." Dongfang Yi didn't think about it, so he guessed who was buying the housekeeper behind his back.

Too many things have been delayed in the past few days, and he has no time to pay attention to the things in the house, and it is estimated that the things these days are all done by Zhao Wenlu.

"It's not been a day or two since he did his hands and feet, could it be that the housekeeper was framed, and the third prince is just to let us fight in the nest?"

does not rule out this possibility, Zhao Wenlu is ruthless, the city government is very deep, and it is not surprising to do such a thing.

"You said Cui'er found it earlier? It's too much of a coincidence. ”

Thinking of this, Dongfang Yi's eyes flashed with a hint of coldness, this spy could be hidden in the mansion for so long, how could he be caught so easily this time.

Even if Cui'er met by chance, it was too coincidental, right?

"Are you saying that someone deliberately lured Cui'er to find out about this scene?" Thinking about it carefully, Nalan Jin shuddered a little when he thought that there was another hand pushing it.

Nalan Jin didn't make a noise when she first found out about this matter, but immediately went to the scene to catch it, could this be also in the murderer's plan.

"We're guessing here, so we might as well ask for ourselves."

Dongfang Yi raised this point, and the first person to ask was naturally the housekeeper, because Cui'er Nalan Jin had already asked carefully, and there were no flaws, and it was estimated that the housekeeper would know some inside information.

"Uncle, the old slave is really wronged." The first thing the housekeeper said when he saw Dongfang Yi was to shout grievances.

Dongfang Yi was not in a hurry, stepped forward and said: "This time the matter is really strange, I have also checked, that little guy is the third prince's person, but just now he has committed suicide by taking poison." ”

"This ...... This must be framed by someone else! ”

The butler's heart suddenly appeared in Shen Caiyi's figure, he was extremely unkind to Shen Caiyi before, could it be that she did it with a grudge?

Although he thought so in his heart, the housekeeper didn't show any flaws: "Uncle, since you have returned the old slave's innocence, I wonder if the old slave can go back?" ”

"This matter is embarrassing for you, since it is clear that you are innocent, naturally I will not hold you accountable, but next time, if the housekeeper still wants to go out of the house to buy, he will have to find the right person."

Dongfang Yi seemed to mean something, but the housekeeper didn't think much about it, thinking that he was worried that there were other spies in the mansion and asked him to be careful.

"Is it really okay to let him go like this?" Nalan Jin didn't know when she walked out of the screen, and she really listened to the conversation between Dongfang Yi and the housekeeper outside the screen.

"If there is a problem, you will find out after a good look."

Dongfang Yi is still suspicious of the housekeeper, but there is no evidence to prove the matter so far, and the housekeeper will definitely settle down for a few days after this matter, or he can find some clues from the surveillance.

When the housekeeper went back, as Dongfang Yi said, he didn't do anything more, but took all the things in the house seriously, he wanted to ask Shen Caiyi for clarification, but he also knew that now was not the time.

At night, a sneaky figure crept into Shen Caiyi's room, and Shen Caiyi heard the sound and found that it was the housekeeper, and looked around in fright.

"Isn't the housekeeper afraid of being seen when he comes here in the middle of the night?"

Shen Caiyi scolded in a low voice, and the housekeeper sneered: "Miss Shen, can't you guess why the old slave came?" ”

"I don't understand what you mean."

Shen Caiyi said without thinking about it, facing the housekeeper's suspicious eyes, her heart sank, but she said calmly on the surface: "You yourself were accidentally caught, what are you doing to blame me?" Besides, what's in it for me to get you out there? ”

Seeing that Shen Caiyi didn't seem to be lying, the housekeeper looked at her with fierce eyes and said viciously: "It's better not for you to do it, otherwise don't blame me for being polite!" ”

Worried that someone would find out that he sneaked out to go to Shen Caiyi's room in the middle of the night, the housekeeper only said a few words and went back to his room, but Shen Caiyi was still a little uneasy in her heart.

Time passed quickly, and in a blink of an eye, a day passed, and Nalan Jin walked into Dongfang Qi's small courtyard and saw him sitting upright writing on the side.

Because of the lack of arm strength, the handwriting is a little ugly, but the handwriting is much better than that of children of the same age, and I feel that someone is looking at me.

Dongfang Qi followed his gaze and saw Nalan Jin's eyes light up and trotted towards her.

"Slow down, don't fall."

Nalan Jin smiled at him and persuaded, Dongfang Qi took her hand and said, "Mother, you and your father haven't come to see me these days, it's so boring." ”

"There have been too many things happening in the past few days, I didn't come to see Qi'er, I came here today to take Qi'er out to play."

After Nalan Jin finished speaking, Dongfang Qi smiled happily: "Niang is really the best person!" ”

"Don't be poor, let's go." Nalan Jin took Dongfang Qi's little hand, followed by a few little guys who protected the two.

The streets are a little quieter than a few days ago, but you can still see a few people coming to buy, and a few aunts gathering together to gossip about which house.

"Qi'er, what are you looking at?" Nalan Jin was originally choosing a good-looking sachet, but when she saw Dongfang Qi looking in a daze, she asked.

As a result, I found Lin Dacheng at this glance, he was talking to a few people who looked like gangsters, and it was estimated that he couldn't talk about anything, so he quarreled loudly.

Nalan Jin vaguely heard a few key words, but he didn't hear them all, but Dongfang Qi always felt that the person was very familiar, as if he had seen it somewhere.

It wasn't until one person shouted the name of "Zhao Si" that Dongfang Qi remembered that these people weren't the same group of people who gambled with Lin Dacheng before?

Seeing that Lin Dacheng was going to fight with them, Nalan Jin couldn't let it go, handed Dongfang Qi over to the little servant, and instructed Dongfang Qi to say: "Mother, go ahead and take a look, will you come back later?" ”

Dongfang Qi regained his smile and said, "It's okay mother, you go and help your uncle." ”

"You take good care of the young master." Nalan Jin touched Dongfang Qi's little head soothingly.

"Dacheng, you are not kind like this, you must know ......" Before Zhao Si could speak, he saw Nalan Jin behind Lin Dacheng.

"What are you doing here?" As soon as Nalan Jin spoke, Zhao Si and the others looked at each other, their faces were abnormal, and they didn't care about anything else, they just turned around and ran away.

Lin Dacheng turned around a little stiffly, and saw Nalan Jin: "Jin'er." ”

"Dacheng, what are you doing here?"

Lin Dacheng returned to his usual appearance, touched his head with a sneer, and said to Nalan Jin: "A few of them are bullying, I will teach you a little lesson." ”

"I see." Although Nalan Jin felt a little strange, she looked Lin Dacheng up and down, and she couldn't see anything strange.

Lin Dacheng generously let Nalan Jin look at it, and didn't see the abnormality, so he didn't pay attention to it.

"Jin'er, did you come out with Qi'er?"

Lin Dacheng saw Dongfang Qi on the side, and Nalan Jin remembered that he was mainly playing with Dongfang Qi, so he nodded.

"Uncle, my mother and I went out for a walk on the street."

Dongfang Qi's eyes that saw through everything made Lin Dacheng feel a little weak, and when he thought that Dongfang Qi had met with that group, he was suddenly a little nervous, and even looked a little in a trance when he followed behind Nalan Jin.

"Uncle, what's wrong with you? It's not good to be careful of bumping into people. ”

Dongfang Qi reminded him kindly, but it made Lin Dacheng shudder a little, he just dealt with a few words, and occasionally followed behind Nalan Jin and Dongfang Qi.

After strolling around until the evening, Nalan Jin and the three of them were ready to go back, because they still had to discuss some things with Dongfang Yi, and it was also time to go home for dinner.

Nalan Jin didn't pay much attention to this matter, after all, the top priority now is to find a way to keep Nalan family.

When Dongfang Yi returned home, he found that there were still a few lights on in the courtyard, and he didn't alarm Nalan Jin inside, and quietly went in to see her settling the account books.

"It's cold, and I don't know how to put on more clothes." Dongfang Yi draped the cloak on Nalan Jin's body.

Nalan Jin only felt that a warm breath lingered around her body, and her somewhat cool body gradually warmed up: "Are you back?" Have you eaten? ”

It just so happened that these accounts had been calculated, and Nalan Jin got up, but because he had been sitting for too long, his legs were a little numb, and he almost fell.

"I'm not a child anymore, why don't you be careful."

Dongfang Yi picked up Nalan Jin horizontally, put her on the bed, and hugged her waist from behind.

"How's the situation in the court?"

Dongfang Yi sighed and said: "There are many people in the court who are under the party of the Seven Princes and the Three Princes, and our desire to win over is bound to be very limited, which is very unfavorable to our situation. ”

"Then we have only one way left now, unless we can have a half-official position in the court, otherwise ......"
