After eating, Xue Wuyi was about to leave.

"Xue Gongzi." Zhang Peony directly blocked in front of Xue Wuyi, and Xue Wuyi rubbed his temples, indicating that he had a headache.

"What else is the matter with the girl?" Xue Wuyi asked.

"I, I'm ......" Zhang Peony's fingers frantically clutched the corners of his clothes.

"Mei Niang, then I'll go." Xue Wuyi's subordinates happened to be driving a carriage to pick up Xue Wuyi at this time.

"Okay." Liu Meiniang waved her hand.

"Xue Gongzi, you take Peony away." Zhang Peony plucked up the courage to say.

"Poof-" Zhang Jihan choked on his own saliva, Zhang Peony is crazy.

"......" Xue Wuyi glanced at Zhang Peony in fear.

"Xue Gongzi, I know you don't have a family yet, you take Peony back, Peony can serve you." Seeing that Xue Wuyi didn't speak, Zhang Peony seemed to be encouraged, and said all his thoughts in one breath. After speaking, he glanced at Xue Wuyi shyly.

Xue Wuyi has gained insight today. With such a bold woman as Zhang Peony, Xue Wuyi is indeed the first time to see her.

"There is no blessing in the bottom." Xue Wuyi directly blocked Zhang Peony's sight with his wide sleeves.

"Xue Gongzi......" Zhang Mudan said heartbreakingly.

"Girl, please respect yourself." Xue Wuyi squeezed out these words from between his teeth, this was already his very good cultivation, so he didn't scold on the spot, if other people met a shameless woman like Zhang Mudan, they would have scolded a long time ago.

"Xue Gongzi, the peony is sincere, and the peony is really pleasing to you." Liu Meiniang stood aside with her arms crossed, she really wanted to know how far Liu Meiniang could go today.

"Girl, be careful." Xue Wuyi hopes that now that Luluo is here, he can at least help him block it, instead of watching jokes on the sidelines like Liu Meiniang.

"Xue Gongzi, what I said is from my heart." I have to say that Zhang Peony can confess to Xue Wuyi in front of so many people, this courage Liu Meiniang still didn't expect that most women in ancient times were reserved, and Zhang Peony should be different.

"I'll go first!" Xue Wuyi strode directly towards the carriage, and entered the carriage with a single step on his long legs.

When Zhang Peony hadn't reacted to the country, the carriage had already gone away, and Zhang Peony didn't even have a chance to chase after him.

Watch the carriage go away. Zhang Mudan felt deeply defeated.

Liu Meiniang, Zhang Jihan and the others saw that Xue Wuyi was also gone, and they went back to their rooms one after another. Only Zhang Peony stood in the courtyard, looking at the place where the carriage left motionless.

A few days later, the first cloth woven on a loom came out, and it was much better and finer than what I had woven by hand. And the number is also amazing, a total of one hundred and thirty-eight horses, Liu Meiniang counted all of them in the register.

Wait for the next day, and directly ask Zhang Jihan to take it and hand it over to Xue Wuyi.

The next day, when Zhang Jihan loaded the cloth onto the ox cart, he was surprised to find that there were three less pieces of cloth, although it was not much, but it also had a great impact.

Zhang Jihan thought that he had counted wrongly, and after ripening it several times, there were still only one hundred and thirty-five horses, and the warehouse where the cloth was stored was carefully inspected, and there was nothing missing.

Could it be that the three pieces of cloth disappeared out of thin air like this?

"Sister-in-law, three pieces of cloth are missing." Zhang Jihan said with a panicked expression.

"Three pieces of cloth missing?" Liu Meiniang asked.

"Hmm. I counted several times, and there were only one hundred and thirty-five. Zhang Jihan said affirmatively.

"How so?" Liu Meiniang touched her chin and thought.

"Sister-in-law, it must be Zhang Peony, I saw her sneakily go to the warehouse yesterday, but when I asked her, she said she went to the toilet." Zhang Dandan whispered in Liu Meiniang's ear.

"When?" Liu Meiniang asked. Zhang Dandan's words are still somewhat credible, she has also explained to Zhang Dandan before, pay a little attention to Zhang Peony's actions.

"The night before yesterday." Zhang Dandan thought about it for a while and said.

"The day before yesterday?" Liu Meiniang muttered to herself.

If it had been the night before, it would have been more likely to be Zhang Peony.

Because all the silk in this batch had been woven the day before yesterday, Liu Meiniang checked the number of cloths and calculated a total of one hundred and thirty-eight.

Where did the missing three pieces of cloth go, Liu Meiniang probably had an estimate in her heart.

"Sister-in-law, it must be Zhang Peony!" Zhang Dandan said firmly.

"We have no proof." Liu Meiniang shook her head.

It's just speculation now, but at present, Zhang Peony's suspicion is the greatest.

"Dandan, you do this tomorrow......" Liu Meiniang half-hugged Zhang Dandan in her arms and whispered in a low voice.

Zhang Jihan was confused by the behavior of the two.

Early the next morning, work began in the workshop.

Liu Meiniang took Zhang Dandan into the workshop.

"Mei Niang."

"Mei Niang is here."

Everyone got up to say hello, and Liu Meiniang nodded with a smile.

"Everyone's worked hard." Liu Meiniang instantly had a feeling that the leader had come to inspect.

"Dandan." Liu Meiniang shouted.

"Sister-in-law."

"Ji Han and I are going to the county seat tomorrow, and the key to the treasury will be handed over to you for safekeeping."

"Okay, sister-in-law." Zhang Dandan said firmly as if he had received some mission.

"Here, this is the key to the storehouse, you put it away, don't let anyone take it, there are still a lot of pieces of cloth in the storeroom." Liu Meiniang said meaningfully.

After listening to Liu Meiniang's words, the people who weaved cloth and cut silk lowered their heads and went to their own affairs. Only Zhang Mudan's eyes flashed after listening to Liu Meiniang's words. This did not escape Liu Meiniang's eyes.

Sure enough, early the next morning, Liu Meiniang and Zhang Jihan went to the county seat, and in the afternoon they sent a letter back saying that the affairs of the county town were not over, and they could rush back the next day.

Although Zhang Mudan regrets not going to the county seat with Liu Meiniang, maybe he can meet Xue Wuyi again in the county seat, but Zhang Mudan has more important things to do.

At night, when everyone was asleep, a dark shadow moved out of the room.

A pair of eyes looked very bright in the dark night, who was it not Zhang Peony.

After Zhang Peony slipped out of the guest room, he went straight to Zhang Dandan's room.

After entering Zhang Dandan's room, by the moonlight, Zhang Mudan saw that Zhang Dandan was already asleep.

Zhang Peony tiptoed to Zhang Dandan's pillow, touched it casually, and found a key.

"Sure enough, I'm still a child, and I can't hide anything." Zhang Mudan thought proudly after getting the key.

Zhang Mudan made sure that Zhang Dandan was still asleep, so he took the key and went to the warehouse at the back of the house.

It is easy to open the door of the storeroom.

Zhang Peony walked around the warehouse, picked up two pieces of cloth and was about to leave.

Unexpectedly, as soon as I walked out of the door of the warehouse, there was a large group of people standing at the door.

There are Liu Meiniang, Zhang Jihan, Zhang Li's and Zhang Dandan and Zhang Tongtong, who have just fallen asleep.

"You ...... You guys"

Zhang Peony couldn't say a word in shock.

"Peony, why are you here if you don't sleep so late?" Liu Meiniang looked at the two pieces of cloth held in Zhang Mudan's arms, and asked knowingly.

"I ...... Sister-in-law, aren't you in the county seat? Zhang Peony asked weakly.

"Oh, I'll be back early when it's done." Liu Meiniang replied nonchalantly.

"Sister Peony, what are you doing in the warehouse?" Zhang Jihan continued to ask.

"I'll come, I'll go to the latrine." Zhang Peony stammered.

"The latrine is clearly not here." Zhang Dandan pointed in the opposite direction and said.

"What's in your hand?" Zhang Tongtong added a fire, she had long seen Zhang Peony unpleasant.

If you stay honest and peaceful, others will not treat you so badly, but you want to be a demon and die.

"Bang" The two pieces of cloth in Zhang Peony's hand were thrown directly to the ground by her.

"Second aunt, sister-in-law, I was wrong, I was confused for a while, you forgive me this time." Zhang Peony got all the stolen goods. Even if you want to shirk it, you can't shirk it, so you can only quickly admit your mistake.

"Did you steal the three pieces of cloth last time?" Liu Meiniang asked sharply.

"Sister-in-law, Peony knows it's wrong, you can give Peony another chance."

Zhang Peony knelt directly in front of Liu Meiniang.

"Don't kneel! This thing was originally done wrong by you, and if you kneel today, this matter will become our fault. In the face of Zhang Peony's bitter plan, Liu Meiniang was unmoved.

"Sister-in-law, Peony really knows that she is wrong, I just thought, there are so many pieces of cloth at my sister-in-law's house, it shouldn't matter if I take one, I haven't worn new clothes for many years, I ......"

Zhang Peony wiped her tears and said, that look really pitiful.

"Do you think I won't give you a cloth if you ask me?" Liu Meiniang shook her head and said.

No matter what, Zhang Peony is not a child who doesn't know anything at this age. And Liu Meiniang is sure that Zhang Mudan stealing things is definitely not like she said, she has no clothes to wear, and she has been premeditated for a long time.

Or from Zhang Peony's request to come to their house to work, Liu Meiniang guessed that it was for Xue Wuyi, but now Liu Meiniang doesn't think so.

Zhang Mudan likes Xue Wuyi, but her real purpose in coming to Liu Meiniang's house must not be Xue Wuyi, but to steal things.

This kind of cloth woven by Liu Mei's mother's family is definitely much higher than ordinary cloth when sold on the market, and a few pieces of cloth can be sold for at least three or four taels of silver.

Three or four taels of silver is enough for ordinary people to spend more than half a year, or even longer.

"Sister-in-law......" Zhang Mudan looked at Liu Meiniang in disbelief, she wants cloth, will Liu Meiniang really give it to her?

This is the difference in the way of thinking, if Zhang Peony opens this mouth, Liu Meiniang will definitely give it to Zhang Peony even if she is in the way of face.

And Zhang Peony would never have thought of this.

"Go back, I don't need you here." Liu Meiniang said lightly.

"Sister-in-law, don't drive me away, don't drive me away." Zhang Peony's eyes widened in horror.

"Let's go, everyone knows that I can't leave you here anymore." Liu Meiniang's tone was irresistibly resolute.

Zhang Mudan also knew that there was no room for maneuver in the matter, so he sat on the ground without saying a word.

"You'll leave tomorrow at dawn." After Liu Meiniang finished speaking, she helped Zhang Li and went back.

"Hmph." Zhang Tongtong snorted coldly and pulled Zhang Dandan back to the room.

I really can't figure out why there are such white-eyed wolves. Zhang Peony works in Zhang's house, lives in the guest room, eats with them every day, eats and lives, and gives Liu Xiaomian as much as the salary, I really don't know what is not satisfied, and I have to steal things.

Zhang Tongtong wished that Zhang Peony would leave early, so it would be good, at least he would not see Zhang Peony in the future.

After everyone left, Zhang Peony returned to the guest room in despair.

The stealing was discovered, she didn't know what to do now, she didn't listen to her father and mother if she knew it earlier, saying that she was stealing two pieces of cloth from Liu Meiniang's house, Liu Meiniang would definitely not find out, so many pieces of cloth, Zhang Peony also thought that Liu Meiniang would not find out.

At dawn the next day, Zhang Peony packed up his things and left.

Originally, when he left, Zhang Peony still wanted to pack some things in the room and take them away, but he didn't expect Zhang Tongtong to stand directly at the door of the room and watch the whole process, Zhang Peony could only take away the things he brought, and he didn't dare to take any more.

"If you go, you won't send it." Zhang Tongtong's tone pierced Zhang Peony's heart even more.

Zhang Mudan turned her head and glared at Zhang Tongtong viciously, and left with her own baggage.
