Chapter 38: Murong Lin is suspicious

The staff got into the carriage and went back, and his face was gloomy all the way. The housekeeper looked scared and kept scolding Feng Xiaoyue.

"What a broken greenhouse, there are good things that refuse to take out, dare to deceive our master like this."

After hearing his insults, the staff felt a little better, and snorted coldly, "Hmph, she is still the first person who dares to play tricks on me, and when it falls into my hands, I will naturally not let her go." ”

Feng Xiaoyue checked the greenhouse, and calculated in her heart what she needed to make it into a standardized greenhouse. But to meet the standards in her heart, at the level of this era, it is difficult to do it, and it is very costly. Besides, to convince those craftsmen that they are not joking with them, they also need the support of cash, after all, like that Boss Gu, Feng Xiaoyue does not want to happen a second time.

After thinking about it, Feng Xiaoyue handed over the greenhouse to the uncle to take good care of, and then took Xiaoyun back. Hurriedly returning to the Gentleman's Courtyard, Feng Xiaoyue began to rummage through the cabinets.

Xiaoyun was startled and hurriedly pulled her: "Miss, what are you looking for?" ”

"Take out my dowry and count it, I'll be useful." Feng Xiaoyue was pressed by her to sit down, and took advantage of the rest of her breath to drink saliva.

"The dowry is well kept and locked in the back room, and none of us have touched it." Xiaoyun thought that she was worried that someone was guarding and stealing, so she hurriedly expressed her sincerity.

Feng Xiaoyue was amused by her serious appearance, and reassured: "I'm not doubting you, it's just that I really need money now." ”

"Miss is short of money?" Xiaoyun was a little stunned, "Miss, haven't you been making money in the spice shop in the city, is it that the business is good, and now you can't make ends meet?" ”

Feng Xiaoyue shook her head, "Not really." Anyway, you might as well accompany me to take stock first. "The Feng family's favorite daughter, the dowry is also very rich, but Feng Xiaoyue can't use it indiscriminately, and she lives up to the heart of the Feng family's lord's beloved daughter.

"Okay, the dowry list is in Xiao Yu's, I'll go to her and ask for it." Xiaoyun was about to run out as she spoke, but Feng Xiaoyue hurriedly called her: "When you go to find Xiaoyu, be quiet, I don't want others to know that I want to use the dowry." ”

"Yes, slaves and maids are measured."

Xiao Yu was called by Xiaoyun, quietly took the dowry list, and went with Feng Xiaoyue to open the forty-two dowries sealed in the wing. Before opening the door and entering, Feng Xiaoyue noticed that something was wrong.

"Xiaoyun, you said that after this place was locked, no one would come in again."

"yes." Xiaoyun responded.

Xiao Yu also felt strange for her to ask this, and when she saw Feng Xiaoyue staring straight at the ground and a few dusty boxes, she suddenly realized that there were a few footprints in the room inexplicably.

"Oh no, someone came in."

Xiaoyun was so frightened that his back was cold, and he looked at Feng Xiaoyue worriedly. Feng Xiaoyue didn't suspect her, but said calmly: "It's okay, let's count what is missing first." ”

"Yes." Xiaoyun sniffed and reached for the box.

"Fifty pairs of dragon and phoenix bracelets, ten pairs of Yuhua and alloy hairpins......" Xiaoyun opened the box and rummaged, and Xiaoyu reported the single name. For the sake of auspiciousness, everything is in pairs, so it is easier to check the number of corresponding.

Forty-two boxes were checked for nearly two hours before they were counted.

"Miss, these things are the same, but someone has indeed moved." Xiao Yun and Xiao Yu glanced at each other, and they both saw doubts in each other's eyes.

If someone breaks in, but not for the money, then they must be looking for something. Feng Xiaoyue thought about what was worth coveting, but she didn't have the slightest clue.

After looking at Xiaoyun Xiaoyu and the others, who were also confused, Feng Xiaoyue smiled slightly and asked them to help perform the play.

"Thus shall ye say, that they shall be frightened from rash acts."

The two nodded heavily, and after waiting for Feng Xiaoyue to return to the house to rest, Xiaoyun called all the people in the courtyard to give a lecture.

Xiao Yu put her hands behind her back, acting like a big girl, and Xiao Yun watched from the side. "The dowry of the princess has been touched, who among you did it, hurry up, otherwise, there will be no good fruit for you to eat."

A group of small servants shouted wronged: "Sister Xiaoyu, we are more outside with the prince, how did we get here, and dare to steal the things of the princess." ”

Many maids also echoed in unison: "Most of us were not brought by the princess, and we are not qualified to serve closely, so how can we have the opportunity to get the key to steal the dowry." ”

"What you mean is that Xiao Yu and I, the two thieves who are waiting for you, shout to catch the thief." Xiao Yun crossed his waist and scolded, and the people below were immediately silenced. Xiao Yu asked her to calm down for a while, and said calmly: "Everyone, we don't mean to make things difficult for everyone, but what we lost is my young lady's favorite thing, and for this reason, the young lady is dizzy with anger." We just want everyone who finds the thief, and whoever reports the news, the lady will be rewarded. ”

"Yes, the slave knows." The servants and the maids responded, and went back to their work. Xiaoyun and Xiaoyu closed the door carefully, and Feng Xiaoyue was leaning on the couch and smiling and reading.

"Well done, after such a beating, as long as you deliberately leave another chance, you will definitely be able to force the person who stole it out."

"What are we going to do next, Miss?" Xiaoyun asked, Feng Xiaoyue glanced at her, and put the book down: "It's business as usual, only when I really lost something." ”

Due to Feng Xiaoyue's deliberate evasion, Murong Lin had no chance to see her, so he could only devote himself to investigating the spies of the domain.

"This is a recent report from an informant, a person who has been inquiring about the horse market for several days." Zhang Fengyu and Murong Lin stood on the tall building, and they could see a simple and short man from a distance, and after coming out of the alley, they sneakily got into a carriage, and there was a mark engraved on the crosswood of the carriage.

This mark is exactly the same as the mark of the Feng family. Lord Shizi, but there is nothing you don't believe. Zhang Fengyu patted Murong Lin's shoulder, "I have seen this sign on these people's things many times." The prince never thought about why the Feng family suddenly married a daughter to you, even if His Majesty was in charge, he would not make such a lofty relationship. ”

Murong Lin frowned, quietly watching the carriage disappear from sight.

"Do you suspect that Xiaoyue deliberately arranged to be by my side to inquire about the news?"

"Xia Guan is just guessing," Zhang Fengyu paused, and Murong Lin interjected, "If it's to investigate, then why should she avoid me." ”

Perhaps, she wanted to do the opposite. With the wisdom of the princess, it's not that she can't think of it. Murong Lin was unhappy in his heart, Zhang Fengyu's words had a sense of adding fuel to the fire.

"I'll ask her, if that's the case," Murong Lin clenched his fists, "I'll talk about it then." ”

With incredulous suspicion, Murong Lin walked directly to Feng Xiaoyue's room, Feng Xiaoyue was still packing up her things, and was startled by his sudden intrusion.

"Are you okay on your arm?" Feng Xiaoyue asked reflexively.

Murong Lin was worried about other things, and he didn't have the heart to be happy for her concern.

"Well, it's fine. What are you doing? ”

Feng Xiaoyue put down the things in her hand, sat on the couch and drank a sip of water, "I'm looking for something, I recently found out that I lost a few pieces of my dowry, and I don't want to suspect people casually, so I wondered if I forgot it myself, so I asked Xiaoyun to accompany me to look for it." ”

"It's your dowry that you lost, and if you ask them a few words, they don't dare to complain." When it came to casual doubts, Murong Lin couldn't help but feel a little weak.

Feng Xiaoyue didn't notice that something was wrong with him, and sighed and said, "I have asked, but stealing is a big crime, and who wants to admit it, or can we only ask it slowly." ”

Listening to Feng Xiaoyue's words, Murong Lin was thoughtful, Feng Xiaoyue finally found that he was different from the past, and asked suspiciously: "What's wrong with you today, you have been busy going in and out these days, is there something going on?" ”

"Nope." Murong Lin saw that Feng Xiaoyue was defenseless, so he deliberately mentioned some things. "Lord Zhang hasn't found the person who wanted to assassinate you before, so it's a little boring."

"Didn't you say that they might be from the rivers and lakes, so it's hard to check." Feng Xiaoyue blinked.

"I thought they were trying to steal my flowers, but I didn't expect them to be so ruthless. It doesn't matter if they can find it, it's so extreme for a little thing, and it's not good to let them out and harm others. ”

"Indeed, just like the last time we fell off the cliff, could it be calculated by this group of people?" Murong Lin said as he looked at Feng Xiaoyue's face.

Feng Xiaoyue raised her head as usual and thought about it, "What happened that day was really strange, most of the horses pulling the cart were trained and gentle, and you didn't whip the horse, how could you suddenly go crazy." ”

"Do you have any clues?" Murong Lin took a sip of tea as if naturally.

"Where did I get the clues," Feng Xiaoyue shook her head, "I'm busy every day, and I haven't offended anyone, and I don't even go out of the door, how can I imagine who will deliberately frame me." ”

"You don't go out much?" Feng Xiaoyue felt that Murong Lin's words were yin and yang, and couldn't help but be a little angry, "I went out in those days, when were you not around, and now you came to ask me again." ”

"I'm sorry, I forgot." Murong Lin turned his head thoughtfully, Feng Xiaoyue really felt strange, and walked over directly to stand in front of him, "Why are you so wrong today." "It was like a deliberate inquiry.

Murong Lin couldn't avoid her scrutiny, and hurriedly stretched out his hand to pull her down and sit: "It's really nothing, it's just that I have no clue about the investigation of the case, and I'm just a little upset." ”

"In that case, you might as well go back and get some rest."

"Okay, then you can look for it slowly." After Feng Xiaoyue finished speaking, Murong Lin really responded, pushed the door and went out, even Xiaoyun felt a little incredible, and looked at Feng Xiaoyue with wide eyes.

Feng Xiaoyue sat on the couch with a gloomy expression: You investigate these things and test me with words, don't you suspect that I have done something unfavorable to the palace behind your back.
