Chapter 316: Successfully became a side concubine
Nalan Jin felt that Dongfang Yi was a bit of a soldier, but the follow-up investigation was not a head-to-head confrontation, which would not cause unnecessary trouble.
The more I thought about it, the more I felt that Dongfang Yi seemed to have lost the high-spirited appearance of the past.
Now I look ahead and backward in everything I do, and I am always timid, and sometimes a little thing needs to be thought about for a long time.
"Dongfang, are you a little worried, we are just secretly investigating, isn't everything being discussed with you?" Nalan Jin raised her eyebrows.
Dongfang Yi knew that no matter what he said at the moment, he couldn't change Nalan Jin's mind, so he had to take a deep breath to adjust his state.
"Let's all calm down, if you are a housekeeper and find out that someone is following and investigating, what is your first reaction?" Dongfang Yi softened his tone.
"You must be avoiding the edge, is it possible to expose your crimes by putting evidence in front of others?" Nalan Jin looked at Dongfang Yi with disgust, feeling that he was a little too much.
Dongfang Yi nodded hintly, this is all a matter of knowing it, and there is no need to emphasize it again.
Hearing this, Nalan Jin realized that it was Dongfang Yi who misunderstood what she meant.
"Are you worried about my safety?" Nalan Jin raised her eyebrows.
"Otherwise, why would I be so forward-looking!" Dongfang Yi shouted, finally expressing his doubts.
"Don't worry, I know what to do after Grandpa's affairs. Since we suspect that everything has something to do with the housekeeper, we have to investigate to the end. I also knew that Wise would not find evidence, so I had to find his mistakes in the subtleties of the butler. ”
Nalan Jin's tirade made Dongfang Yimao pause. After weighing the pros and cons, he felt that what Nalan Jin said made sense, although it was dangerous.
But if you don't take the initiative to investigate, you will never find the truth of the matter.
So Dongfang Yi acquiesced to Nalan Jin, and followed him to secretly investigate the housekeeper.
In order not to let the housekeeper notice that something was wrong, Dongfang Yi and Nalan Jin changed their makeup and identities at any time, and acted cheaply.
After following up several times, Nalan Jin found that the housekeepers had the most contact with the merchants who suppressed them when they first started their business.
The biggest of them is Mr. Qian.
"Why does that person look so familiar?" Nalan Jin pointed to the person opposite the teahouse and said.
"That person ......" Dongfang Yi thought for a long time, "That's not Master Qian." ”
Dongfang Yi shouted in surprise, thinking that he would never have anything to do with Master Qian again in this life, and he didn't even think that he would be able to meet again.
"Master Qian! How could it be him! I still wonder why the business of the workshop is always preempted, and it turns out that there are thieves! ”
Nalan Jin saw that the housekeeper and Master Qian, the henchman who had given her a headache, conspired together, and the flames of anger burned.
Regardless of the three-seven-twenty-one, he rushed up and wanted to catch the housekeeper and question.
Dongfang Yi sees that Nalan Jin's situation is not good, if this is
Rushing forward, all the previous efforts were in vain. Hurriedly grabbed Nalan Jin and dragged her back to the house.
"Why are you stopping me, didn't you see him with Master Qian?" Nalan Jin was furious.
"So what? That only shows that they are together, but not that they are colluding. Don't be impulsive. Wouldn't it be good for us to have more evidence and try to win it in one fell swoop? Dongfang Yi touched Nalan Jin's head to comfort her manic mood.
"I just can't be angry, I know that they have colluded and done so many wrong things, but I can't do anything."
Nalan Jin couldn't swallow the evil breath in his heart. However, it can only be so.
Dongfang Yi But with Nalan Jin's temper, if he continues to follow the housekeeper, he will definitely startle the snake.
So on the grounds that the workshop was too busy, he asked Nalan Jin to avoid it for the time being, and sent his subordinates to follow.
The subordinate only follows the housekeeper according to Dongfang Yi's richness, and it is not his own business, so he naturally does not take it to heart.
As soon as he walked out of the street, he was discovered by the housekeeper, so the housekeeper deliberately rested in the teahouse and asked Xiao Er to give the note to the businessman he met.
According to the agreement on the housekeeper's note, the two quarreled before they could say a few words when they met, and the housekeeper was even beaten by the businessman as a liar.
"Don't ask me what my identity is, they actually deceived me." The merchant angrily blamed the steward of the earth.
"Listening to me explain that it was really a misunderstanding." The housekeeper hugged his head and explained, but his eyes were focused on the people who followed.
"I don't care what your reason is, if you dare to play tricks in front of me, this is what will happen to you."
The merchant severely reprimanded the housekeeper, and when he left, he asked the people around him to beat the housekeeper again, and warned the housekeeper to be honest in the future.
When the people who followed saw this scene, they immediately ran back and told Nalan Jin 1510.
Nalan Jin looked at her subordinates melancholy, and kept shaking her head, indicating that this was not the housekeeper she knew at all.
"Miss, although I don't know why you asked me to follow the housekeeper, but in my opinion, there is no problem with the housekeeper's loyalty to the housekeeper at all, and ......" The subordinate paused, and continued to speak for the housekeeper.
Nalan Jin was upset and didn't want to listen to the next person say a word for the housekeeper, and before he could finish speaking, Nalan Jin interrupted him.
"It's hard work, I don't want a third person to know about this besides me, understand?" Nalan Jin looked at his subordinates sternly, as if warning him.
"Got it, miss." The subordinate also kept his mouth shut.
"I heard that your parents are sick, go to the account office and pay twenty taels of silver, and go back to see them."
Nalan Jin is not a foolish person, and in the case of coercion on his subordinates, he also has a little temptation, so as to give both grace and power.
The subordinate naturally understood Nalan Jin's intentions, nodded to the account room, took the silver, and returned home happily.
The twenty taels of silver are right
For a subordinate, it can be said that he got rich overnight, and to put it mildly, he returned to his hometown.
Nalan Jin walked around the house irritably, unable to figure out how she had seen the housekeeper having ulterior dealings with those merchants before.
How did it completely change its flavor in a blink of an eye, and even made others think that the housekeeper was conscientious and conscientious about Nalan Jin, and he never had two thoughts.
In the eyes of outsiders, but he has become the master of Nalan Jin's harsh treatment.
After entering the door for a long time, seeing that Nalan Jin was still pondering, Dongfang Yi knew that except for the housekeeper's affairs that could make Nalan Jin worry, other things would not enter her eyes.
"Since there are some things that you can't figure out, it's better to find a way to relax yourself, and maybe find another way." Dongfang Yi sat down and poured a cup of tea and motioned for Nalan Jin to sit down.
Nalan Jin was like stepping on the hot wheels under her feet and couldn't stop at all, and finally settled down, and she sat up immediately like pins and needles, and jumped like thunder.
"You don't know, you ...... just now" Nalan Jin looked at Dongfang Yi with annoyance.
"I know." Dongfang Yi patted the table and quieted down Nalan Jin, "Actually, if you think about it, you know that the subordinate is not the same situation as what we saw, there is only one explanation, that is, the subordinate was discovered when he was following, and the housekeeper did it on purpose to show him." ”
Dongfang Yi hit the nail on the head and analyzed the matter very thoroughly, and even the housekeeper's mind was clear.
"Alas, what a failure!" Nalan Jin let out a long sigh unwillingly.
"Nope. This is in our favor, and the more discipline is disguised, the more problems there are between them, which means that we are going in the right direction at worst. ”
Dongfang Yi comforted Nalan Jin, and his point-to-point analysis made Nalan Jin feel empowered, and his eyes immediately lit up, and he looked at Dongfang Yi happily.
Dongfang Yi stretched out her index finger and "shh
Time flies by like a white horse, fleeting.
Nalan Jin is intensively investigating the housekeeper, listing his crimes one by one, and waiting until one day he can take it down in one fell swoop.
In the past month, everyone has lived peacefully.
Since Peony and Zhao Wenlu were happy before the month, he came to the manor every once in a while, and Peony also intentionally or unintentionally let Zhao Wenlu stay overnight.
After a few times, Zhao Wenlu regarded the manor as his palace. And peony is his desire.
Peony knew that Zhao Wenlu didn't like him at all. But for the revenge of his own revenge, he has suffered for his own planning.
She didn't care about any of that at all. On the contrary, in order to be able to get Zhao Wenlu's backer, he is particularly attentive to him.
Recently, Peony has always felt unwell in her body, lost her appetite, vomited all the time, was in poor spirits and was prone to drowsiness.
Zhao Wenlu rarely came to see Peony once, and when the two were about to have a good time, she suddenly vomited, which made him a little confused.
"What's the matter, which bastard didn't take care of the wood
You! Zhao Wenlu said that he would punish his subordinates.
"The slave doesn't dare, the girl has been like this for a while, I'm afraid it's ......" The maid didn't say anything for a long time.
Zhao Wenlu felt that something was wrong, so he asked his subordinates to invite Lang Zhong to take a look. Sure enough, it was found that Peony was pregnant.
"Congratulations."
Lang Zhong just said a word, Zhao Wenlu immediately understood, and asked his subordinates to send Lang Zhong away with a lot of money.
For pregnancy, Peony was expected, but she didn't look happy, but she pretended to be very happy in front of Dongfang Yi.
"Since you are pregnant, this kind of place is too shabby, and this king will immediately make you a side concubine." Zhao Wenlu identified himself.
"Side concubine?" Peony pretended not to know.
"The third prince of this king, are you surprised to seal a side concubine?" Zhao Wenlu held the shelf majestically.
Peony lowered her head shyly, secretly thinking here, one step closer to her goal, it was not in vain that she had worked hard for so long to plan carefully.
"By the way, I wonder who else you have in your family?" Zhao Wenlu thought for a while and asked.
The corners of Peony's eyes suddenly lifted, and he subconsciously clenched his fist, and his ugly face was fleeting.
"Why do you suddenly ask this, in fact, there is no one in my family." Peony smiled awkwardly.
