Chapter 457: Good Intentions Should Be Bad
After Nalan Jin released the news, the people in the entire mansion were panicked, everyone was in danger, and they all felt that the people around them were the eight people who stole Princess Zhaogui's reward.
Not only that, Nalan Jin also asked Cui'er to spread the news, if the thief is caught, he will be sent to the official to be punished, and it is a small matter to eat the board, and there is a danger of charging the army and killing the head at any time.
If you meet Princess Zhaogui again, she is unhappy, crying in front of the old emperor, blowing a few words of wind in her ears, and destroying several clans is not a problem.
"Oh, how can there be people stealing things in our Nalan Mansion?"
"Maybe it's a coincidence."
"I don't think so, there were thefts before, maybe the person who stole the things just wanted to create chaos, the purpose was to steal Miss's things."
"It's miserable, we're all going to be tired to death."
The maid and her subordinates gathered together, chattering about the things that have been stolen recently, some of them hated, some were afraid, and some were even scared like they were going back to their hometown with Nalan Jin.
However, there are also some shrewd maids who feel that this time things are a bit not simple, so they remind their subordinates who get along well with them, and let them keep their mouths shut and don't talk nonsense everywhere.
Among these maids, there are many maids sent by the Lin family to inquire about the news, and Chunlan is also mixed behind a group of people, unwilling to show her face.
"Do you know if Miss caught the thief?" A sentence suddenly popped up from the maid.
"Needless to say? Miss is so shrewd, she will definitely find out. ”
"That is, if I catch this thief, I will definitely scold him fiercely, and make him worry and fear me for so long."
The maid clenched her fists angrily, and her delicate little face was full of anger.
"Who do you think will be so unlucky for this theft and be punished by the young lady when the time comes?" Chunlan unintentionally speculated.
"This ......"
Just when the curious maid was about to wait for the gossip eyes to make a bold guess, the butler who had been staring at them for a long time suddenly appeared.
"What? Don't you all have to do things here? Don't you want this month's monthly silver? The butler questioned the maids gathered together.
When the people heard the butler's warning, they quickly found all kinds of excuses and dispersed in a hurry.
The maid of the Lin family also hurriedly left, and Chunlan saw that the housekeeper slipped away like a market.
"They are in a hurry to leave because they have something to do, why are you leaving in such a hurry? Go back and report to Shen Caiyi? The housekeeper blocked Chunlan's way.
"No, the housekeeper thinks too much, I just go back to work, don't bother the housekeeper, I'll go back first." Chunlan stammered to excuse herself.
"It's best to do something, just don't do opportunistic things, especially Shen Caiyi, now that the thieves are so rampant, is someone deliberately ......" The housekeeper deliberately tested Chunlan.
"I'm just a maid, I really don't know about the master's affairs, I still have something, Miss Shen still has something to do, I'll go back first." Chunlan shuddered and took a few steps back, then hurriedly put it away.
Looking at Chunlan's escape, the housekeeper was very sure that the theft this time was not simple, and Shen Caiyi must have an inseparable relationship.
It's just that the housekeeper was very puzzled and couldn't figure out whether Shen Caiyi or Nalan Ji deliberately operated this time.
"Uncle, are you uncomfortable and have an ugly face?" Liu'er saw the housekeeper staring in one direction from afar.
"I'm fine, how is the matter for you to inquire?" The housekeeper stared at Liu'er solemnly.
"Those thefts were all arranged by the Lin family, just because Miss was dissatisfied with sending Lin Dacheng to prison, and as for how Miss lost her things later, I don't know." Liu'er also felt very lost.
"This old woman is not enough to succeed and more than to lose, she wants to die, and she has to pull a cushion, this time she is really miserable." The butler thrashed his fists angrily.
"Uncle, this is just a matter of the Lin family and Miss, how can we be implicated?" Liu'er didn't seem to understand what the housekeeper meant.
"If this matter is done by the Lin family, it will be stupid, if it is used by the young lady, then we will be bad. In case Miss wants to take advantage of this opportunity to suppress us, it is not impossible. The butler was frightened and guessed all the possibilities.
"Uncle, what should we do now?" Liu'er's frightened hands kept shaking.
"What are you afraid of, you stabilize me, no matter what happens, keep your mouth shut, don't talk nonsense." The butler grabbed Liu'er by the collar and ordered him solemnly.
"Okay, I know uncle, don't worry." Liu'er nodded slowly.
"Now, you still have to do one thing, which is to keep an eye on the two of them, no matter what the news is, you must tell me."
The housekeeper didn't know if the theft was coming at her, but he was careful to sail the 10,000-year-old ship.
Liu'er didn't want to have an accident with the housekeeper, otherwise he would be involved, so he put all his energy on the things he was watching.
Cui'er noticed that there were always people outside the yard staring sneakily into the house, "Miss, I just saw someone watching outside." ”
"You just found out, I've found several waves of people in the past few days, staring at us day and night, and I almost feel that I am not a relative of the emperor." Nalan Jin shook her head helplessly, feeling very dazed.
"I've heard the maid doing the latest theft." Cui'er looked at Nalan Jin carefully.
"That's right, this matter has made the people in the house panic, and it should be resolved." Nalan Jin put down the book in her hand, stood up and looked outside the courtyard, "In the afternoon, I asked my godmother to go to the pavilion, and I said that I had something to look for her." ”
"Got it."
Nalan Jin thought about it for a while, and asked Cui'er to clean up all the jewelry that she hadn't used over the years, although it was more expensive than the things in the palace, it was also very valuable, and those small families had never seen it.
When Lin heard that Nalan Jin wanted to see her, she knew that it was because of the uproar of theft in the mansion in the past few days, and she did not panic at all, but boldly went to see Nalan Jin.
"Jin'er didn't go to the workshop to do business, why did she come to me to come over?" Lin looked at Nalan Jin with an unfriendly expression.
"If the godmother mentions something to me, why should she borrow things from her subordinates, and their things are not good." Nalan Jin said with a tactful smile, "Here is what I asked Cui'er to prepare and give to my godmother." ”
Nalan Jin took the packing box to Lin, she opened it, and immediately looked a little stunned, looking at Nalan Jin suspiciously.
The theft made the house restless, and Lin thought that Nalan Jin would make trouble with this matter, so that she could take the opportunity to fall out with Nalan Jin, and provoke her to Dongfang Yi when the time came.
Unexpectedly, Nalan Jin's approach was simply the opposite.
"What are you doing here?" Lin looked at Nalan Jin in disbelief.
"Godmother, I've done a bit of Dacheng's thing, but it's really his fault first." Nalan Jin explained slowly.
"Don't think that taking this will erase what you do."
Lin didn't accept Nalan Jin's overtures at all, and knocked over the jewelry she brought to the ground, bracelets, chains, and a few broken jade bracelets.
If Shen Caiyi heard the quarrel and peeked curiously, he saw the jewelry on the ground, and his eyes immediately stared at the ground.
It was something she never dreamed of getting, but it was given to the Lin family so generously by Nalan Jin.
The Lin family made such a thing against Nalan Jin, she still treated the Lin family like this as always, but Shen Caiyi was as well-behaved as ever, but Nalan Jin didn't treat her like she was worried.
"It's too much, I'd rather take so many good things to please others than give me a little bit, since that's the case, I won't leave any mercy for you."
Shen Caiyi was secretly jealous, thinking in her heart that since Nalan Jin was so ruthless, she didn't have to think about it so much.
She took advantage of Nalan Jin's handling of the affairs in the house in the past few days, so she took the time to report to Peony.
Peony also doesn't know what Nalan Jin's purpose is for playing cards out of common sense, she thinks that she has fought Nalan Jin so many times, which is enough to understand her.
But what kind of medicine is sold in Nalan Jin's gourd this time, so that Peony can't figure it out.
"What does she mean by doing this, is she showing weakness?" Shen Caiyi looked at the peony anxiously.
"How do I know about the affairs in your mansion, besides, I don't know how long you have been fighting with her in Nalan Mansion, how can I know." Peony said a few words irritably, and then left.
"Hey, you're ......"
Shen Caiyi stomped his feet and watched Peony leave silently, and there was no reliable person by his side to support him at a critical time.
She was unwilling, so she had to go back and maneuver on her own and start from the Lin family's hands.
Lin was provoked by Shen Caiyi, thinking that Nalan Jin was pitying her by giving her jewelry, and she had to feel guilty about Lin Dacheng to make up for it.
"I didn't expect her to be such a person, I thought she was really guilty, but I didn't expect that it was just another way to bully us." Lin slapped the table angrily and scolded.
"yes, that's true." Shen Caiyi continued to fan the flames on the side.
The Lin family did even better, not only finding fault with the maid in small things, but even the maid next to Nalan Jin began to make a big noise when he looked wrong.
Nalan Jin felt that Lin's behavior was simply unreasonable;
"Miss, what should I do, the maid doesn't dare to do anything." Cui'er looked at Nalan Jin in distress.
"It's okay, let everyone rest assured that in the future, except for the normal use of the godmother, nothing else is allowed to be given to her." Nalan Jin took a deep breath, "And give me the account books of her store, her mood is not suitable for managing the store." ”
Lin knew that the store was taken back by Nalan Jin, and he was angry, so he went to Dongfang Yi to complain, one was Nalan Jin, the other was Lin, Dongfang Yi was in a dilemma, so he had to appease Lin's emotions first.
"Actually......" Dongfang Yi pinched Nalan Jin's shoulder, "Godmother doesn't have bad intentions, you just need to be an elder and filial piety, there is no need to go back to the store." ”
Dongfang Yi hesitated for a long time, although he couldn't express clearly, Nalan Jin heard it clearly.
