Yingchun told Xiu Tang a simple matter, and Xiu Tang immediately entered the inner room, and it took a long time to come out, and his face was also dead.

Yingchun saw the face of the embroidered orange, and already knew that the embroidered orange had not found the pearl flower, and Yingchun seemed to have fallen into the abyss.

Seeing that the first month is about to pass, in February, I don't know which day the mother will call me into the palace. But I lost the bead flower, how do I explain it to my mother? I lost my mother's reward, and this great disrespectful sin was condemned. And it was the first time that Niangniang rewarded herself with something, and this kind of thing happened, in the eyes of Concubine Yuan, it would become a sin for Yingchun to despise her.

Yingchun couldn't help but tremble, just afraid that the mother would be angry.

Yingchun felt unprecedented pressure, as if it was pressed down from the top of her head, making her breathless, unable to scream, and unable to shout.

Yingchun clenched his fists - this catastrophe is inevitable.

Xiu Tang saw that Yingchun was very determined on weekdays, and her face turned pale at this time, and her heart was even more anxious, the things given by the mother were gone, she didn't know what kind of crime it was, but she knew that the mother would blame Mrs. In the royal family, if they want to punish you, any crime will crush you to death.

Xiu Tang fell to the ground with a plop, and Xiu Tang said with tears in her eyes: "Madam, if the mother is not good to confess, you only say that the slave and maid are careless and lost the bead flower, and let the slave and maid bear this crime for Mrs." ”

When Si Zhu saw it, he also knelt on the ground: "Madam, it's all slaves and maids who are not good, if the mother wants to blame, please ask Mrs. to say that it is the fault of the slave and maid, and Sister Xiutang has nothing to do, and Mrs. has nothing to do." Sister Xiu Tang has just become a parent, and a good life has just emerged, so she must not be allowed to endure it. The slave and maid did not have a family, and they had nothing to worry about, so let the slave and maid suffer a crime for their wife. ”

Huaijiao went to pull the two girls on the side, and knelt in front of Yingchun: "Madam, Sister Sizhu's words are wrong, there is a mistake, I am also the one who often walks in this room, please Mrs. hand me over to the mother to deal with, this matter has nothing to do with Mrs. and her sisters." It wasn't for Madame who brought me from Jiafu, I would have died under the whip of the eldest lord a long time ago, my life was given by Madame, I was born as a Madame's person, even if I died, I had to die for Madame. ”

As soon as Huaijiao's words fell, Zelan, Guixin, Zisu and other girls all knelt down, vying to admit their mistakes and suffer for Yingchun.

Yingchun looked at a few girls kneeling at her feet, her eyes were hot, she was He Yi's accumulation of virtue, and there were these girls who served the lord faithfully. The girls who have these are also worth it.

Yingchun tearfully picked up the girls one by one and sighed: "I am content to have you treat me so faithfully." But have you thought about it carefully, I am your master, even if you lose the pearl flower given by this mother, am I not wrong at all? If I'm lucky enough to get out of these ways, will I be willing to let you die for me? I am the master, there is a fault, I will bear it alone! ”

Sun Shaozu was shocked by the deep friendship between the master and servant of Yingchun in front of him, Yingchun is the master, and the minions can protect each other so much, such a master is really successful.

Xiu Tang, Si Zhu and others knelt in front of Yingchun with their knees as their feet, hugged Yingchun, and cried loudly with Yingchun.

Yingchun's hand stroked the heads of several girls, these are the girls who get along with them day and night, they all treat themselves with deep affection, and even can give up their lives for themselves. Yingchun thought about it, and tears rained down.

While the master and servant were crying bitterly, a low roar came from behind everyone: "Enough! ”

As soon as Yingchun turned around, he saw Sun Shaozu staring at them with horizontal eyebrows, his palm fell heavily on the table, and the teacup on the table trembled gently with a blow.

Yingchun looked at Sun Shaozu in astonishment, Sun Shaozu stood up and whispered to a few people who were sobbing: "What are you doing?" Where have you lords and servants left me?! I am the heaven of this house, I am the heaven of my wife, and I am the heaven of your slaves, how can I let my wife suffer it? Am I going to leave a few of you minions behind and survive? Who are you Sun Shaozu of me?! ”

Sun Shaozu's loud words made Yingchunben's tears fall again.

Zhongshan wolf! His own Zhongshan wolf said words of love and righteousness, Yingchun felt that this catastrophe could not be passed, with Sun Shaozu's joint responsibility, and a few loyal and brave embroidered oranges, this life is enough.

Yingchun ignored the presence of several girls, and cried and threw herself into Sun Shaozu's arms.

Sun Shaozu clenched Yingchun's shoulders and wiped away Yingchun's tears: "Don't cry, there are some words, we still have to ask clearly." Sun Shaozu turned his head and asked a few girls: "Think about it carefully, when was the last time you saw that pearl flower?" ”

Several girls looked at each other, and Xiu Tang spoke first: "Back to the master, the last time the slave saw the beads, it was the last time the lord and Mrs. Li went to Mrs. Li's house as guests, I was thinking about letting the lady wear it, and the lady said that she would not wear it out, for fear that it would be accidentally damaged. ”

Yingchun also remembered, she looked at Sun Shaozu: "It was the fifth day of the first lunar month." After the fifth day of the new year, will any of you see that bead flower again? ”

The girls thought about it and shook their heads in unison.

That is to say, from the fifth day of the new year to the present, the people who appeared in the spring room during this time are all suspicious.

Sun Shaozu looked at a few girls: "Think about it carefully, after the fifth day of the new year, in the lady's room, there are people coming, whether it is people from outside the house or people in your own courtyard, think about it carefully, and report it one by one." ”

Xiu Tang thought for a while and said, "Except for the six of us who often serve Madame, the little girl can't enter Madame's inner room. ”

Sun Shaozu's brows furrowed even tighter: "Could it be that no one has come here during this period?" Think about it. ”

A few girls thought about it, but they still didn't come up with it.

"You guys will look inside and outside." Yingchun said.

A few girls searched carefully in and out of the room, and even the quilt was turned out, but they still couldn't find it.

Yingchun slowly sat back on the chair, hope was ignited again and again, and was shattered again and again, he really wished that the bead flower was lying in an inconspicuous corner at the moment, waiting for which girl screamed and took it out.

But, no! I've searched the whole house, but I still haven't.

The girls' faces couldn't hide their nervousness, and they all turned their eyes to Sun Shaozu and Yingchun.

Yingchun closed his eyes and rubbed his eyebrows lightly.

After Sun Shaozu looked at a few girls, he sank his face: "If anyone dares to leak the slightest rumor about this matter, even if the lady will protect you, I will definitely not spare you!" Go down, all of you. ”

The girls all went down.

Sun Shaozu and Yingchun sat opposite each other, and the expressions of the husband and wife were the same - nervous, anxious, and dazed.

It's been a long time, and Yingchun broke the silence first.

"I have a solution, and I can only say that I have to give it a try." Yingchun looked at Sun Shaozu's bloodshot eyes.

"Tell me about it."

"Ask our old lady to come forward."

Sun Shaozu was silent.

Yingchun whispered to Sun Shaozu, who was frowning: "I think so, one, Niangniang was raised by the old lady, and the relationship with the old lady is extraordinary. Second, this pearl flower is also in the hands of the old lady, so the old lady is an insider, and it is best for her to come forward to do this. The third is the most important point,"

Yingchun said and stared at Sun Shaozu's eyes: "Concubine Yuan's temper, I'm afraid only our old lady knows best." ”

Sun Shaozu pondered for a long time before he said: "Now, we can only ask the old lady to come forward to help us intercede, but I think, will Mother Jia really intercede for you?" Are you sure? ”

No!

Although Yingchun didn't say this, Yingchun's silence had already given Sun Shaozu an answer.

Yingchun took a deep breath: "Now there is no way out, so I can only give it a try." ”

Sun Shaozu thought for a while, there was really no other way, and nodded and agreed to the way to welcome the spring.

Yingchun looked at the sky, it was almost dinner time, Yingchun called Si Zhu in, carefully instructed Si Zhu Mo to pass through the slightest breath, and now quietly go to Jiafu, the prophet will meet the old lady, only say that there is something important for a while, and Yingchun and his wife will go to see the old lady.

Si Zhu nodded and quietly walked out of Sun's Mansion.

Xiu Tang didn't go back to the new house, she didn't worry about welcoming spring here, so she kept waiting outside the door. Seeing that Si Zhu was gone, he didn't ask, asked the kitchen to cook some light side dishes, and set up a meal for Yingchun and Sun Shaozu.

Where do you still have the appetite to eat in the spring, I only drank a sip of porridge, but I was forced by Sun Shaozu to eat a small bowl. The husband and wife ate a few bites indiscriminately and asked Xiu Tang to remove the rice.

After dinner was removed, Sun Shaozu accompanied Yingchun and his wife to sit on the small kang, and the husband and wife were relatively speechless.

In the past, the rooms were often filled with laughter and laughter, but today, the air here is suffocating and depressing.

When the lamp was in hand, the curtain was raised, Si Zhu came in panting, and whispered: "Master, madam, the old lady will wait for the old lady." ”

When Yingchun heard this, he asked Sizhu to prepare, and when the second watch came, the people in Jia's mother were scattered, and Yingchun and Sun Shaozu went to Jiafu.

Sun Shaozu saw that although Yingchun was anxious, he was very calm and arranged very steadily, so he didn't say anything more.

As soon as the second watch arrived, Yingchun and Sun Shaozu only took Sizhu and Huaijiao and quietly came out from the east corner gate. Outside the East Corner Gate, there was already a carriage arranged by Si Zhu waiting.

The husband and wife rode in a carriage and went straight to the small corner gate on the west side of Jiafu.

Amber was waiting there at the small corner gate in the west, and Amber heard the sound of the carriage, knowing that the spring was coming, and stood by the corner gate. Not long after, Si Zhu's voice came from outside the door, and after Amber opened the door, Si Zhu helped Yingchun and followed Sun Shaozu in. Yingchun and Sun Shaozu smiled softly at Amber.
