Father Yan stood up and held Aunt Liu's arm: "Don't be so startled, be careful of the child in your belly." How could jewelry be missing? Didn't you use your makeup this morning? ”

He patted her shoulder comfortingly: "It doesn't matter if you really lose it, what you like, I'll help you buy it in the future." ”

Aunt Liu's chest rose and fell: "How can it be the same, the jewelry in that makeup is all something I have saved little by little over the years, and it is all my hard work!" There are a few things that you gave me when I was still not married, and now I can't find someone to build them! Last night was fine, I also specially prepared the jewelry to be worn this morning from the makeup and put it on the table, saving me from turning it over when I was dressing up in the morning, who would have thought that I would suddenly lose it today! ”

She squeezed the handkerchief tightly with one hand: "What kind of person is not long-eyed, and dares to touch my things!" ”

Yan Haiyue added oil and vinegar to the side, as if she was afraid that she would not be angry enough: "Auntie, can you be sure that this thing is really lost?" Don't quietly pawn and hide the private money, and then cry poor with your father, and frame others by the way! ”

"Nonsense! When have I ever hidden my money? ”

Aunt Liu's willow eyebrows were raised: "Our Yan Mansion has always been curfew at night, and outsiders will definitely not be able to enter." The thing was still there last night, and it's gone this morning. In my opinion, nine times out of ten, some of the maids in the house sneaked into my Tingfeng Zhai in the middle of the night to steal it, maybe they were instructed by which master! As she spoke, she stared at Yan Haiyue with her eyes.

The two bit each other, and neither let anyone.

Father Yan was silent for a while, and waved his hand to Cang'er for a long time: "You go and call the maid who listens to Fengzhai, and I will interrogate me properly." It doesn't matter if you lose something, the most important thing is that our Yan family can't be a thief! ”

After a while, Aunt Li, Lingxiang and Mingxiang all came, and as soon as they entered the front hall, they saluted Yan's father.

Father Yan waved his hand: "That's it, don't talk about the false courtesy." Tell me, did you really lose something? From last night to now, have there been any suspicious people who have been to Tingfeng Zhai? ”

Aunt Li hung her hands on her sides and said respectfully: "Back to my lord, I have searched my aunt's house, but I haven't found it, it's really lost." After speaking, she suddenly turned her head and looked at Yan Xiaoyi.

Yan Xiaowei met her gaze, her heart was suddenly startled, and bad thoughts flashed in her mind.

Sure enough, Aunt Li stretched out her hand and pointed at Yan Xiaoyi: "In the middle of the night last night, when I was about three watches, I went to get up at night and met the second girl, Yaxiang and Lingxiang at the gate of Tingfeng Zhaiyuan. Other than that, no one else has ever been to Tingfeng Zhai. ”

When Father Yan heard this, he was dumbfounded: "It's so late, what are the three of you doing there without sleeping?" ”

Yan Xiaowei hurriedly repeated the excuse she said to Aunt Li yesterday.

Father Yan was silent for a long time when he heard this, as if he was considering the truth of her words.

Seeing that Yan Xiaowei seemed to be suspicious here, Liu quickly put down the scissors and walked over to help speak: "Xiaoyan just entered the mansion, and it is normal to ask acquaintances privately if I don't know the rules in this mansion." Although she grew up in the countryside, in my opinion, she is definitely not the shallow-eyed child who steals chickens and dogs! ”

Aunt Liu sat heavily on the chair, and the legs of the chair made a screeching sound on the ground.

"Who bit me from a humble background just now? At this time, she was born in the countryside, and no one cared. In my opinion, nine times out of ten, it was stolen by you, the second lady of the Yan family! Otherwise, why wasn't my things stolen sooner or later, but as soon as she entered the house, my things were gone? Can you still grow wings and fly on your own? In vain, I wanted to give her a meeting gift, and I was almost sold and paid for the money! ”

She looked at Liu with disdain and provocation: "Sister thought that if she was brought back, let the master take a look at it and highlight your virtuous and virtuous virtue!" Didn't expect that, right? Now what you have found is not the second miss of the Yan family, but a burglar! ”

Yan Xiaoyi's face was pale, what is this called? I have never been framed as a thief in my two lives combined, but I didn't expect to be wronged like this within two days of entering Yan's Mansion!

Before she could speak, Liu Shi walked over and pulled her behind her, his eyes fell on Father Yan, who had been silent all the time, and his tone was urgent: "Master, Xiao Fen has just returned to the house, and she hasn't even visited Tingfeng Zhai, how can you know where the makeup is placed?" And there's no way she's going to steal! Please also ask the master to consider carefully and administer justice for cumin! ”

Aunt Liu sneered: "Who else is it not her?" Sister, you quibble for her like this, I am beginning to suspect that this matter has something to do with my sister! ”

Yan Haiyue squeezed in from the side: "What did you say?" It's bloody! My mother is no longer favored, and she can't look down on your little things! Who in this house doesn't know that when my mother married my father, she brought more than a dozen boxes full of gold, silver and jewelry as a dowry, and I hadn't seen anything good, and you didn't know where to go at that time! Do you think anyone has never seen the world like you? ”

Aunt Liu couldn't tell her, her angry eyes were red, so she could only stomp her feet and said angrily: "Master! You just said something, just let them bully me like this! ”

Sitting on the chair and crying!

A few women are like fried pheasants, and no one will let anyone.

Father Yan was troubled by the trouble, and pressed the green tendons on his forehead with his fingers: "Someone! Lock the second lady in the ancestral hall first! Send a few more people to Mufeng Courtyard, where the second lady lives, to search carefully to see if there are any suspicious items! ”

As soon as the words fell, two little servants immediately came up and grabbed Yan Xiaoyi's arm, and they couldn't help but say that they were going to get her away.

It's just so hateful, why doubt yourself indiscriminately! Just because he is a newcomer, he will lock people up as thieves without even asking clearly, and even his residence and personal belongings will be searched, and he will not leave people with some self-esteem!

Yan Xiaoyan struggled hard to grab her two hands, and the anger in her eyes surged like flames: "Let go of me, I didn't steal, why lock me up?" ”

Father Yan glanced at her: "Now you are the most suspicious, who is it for you to lock up?" If you didn't steal it, I'll let you out after the search is over. However, if you really stole the thing, then my Yan family can't take in such a person who steals chickens and dogs as a daughter, and I will immediately arrest you and go to the official. So, if you have a ghost in your heart, it's better to explain it honestly as soon as possible. ”

As he spoke, he waved to the two little guys and motioned to take them down.

Ya Xiang stood aside, and when she heard that she was going to be arrested to see the official, she was so frightened that her legs were weak, and she knelt in front of Yan's father with a pop.

"Master, let go of the second girl! Since the second girl entered the house, she has been with me all the time, and I can prove that it is definitely not what the second girl stole from. ”

Father Yan glanced at her and took a sip of tea: "Oh? Then tell me, what did you do when you went to listen to Fengzhai in the middle of the night last night? ”

Ya Xiang glanced at Ming Xiang and pursed her lips: "Now that the matter is related to the reputation of the second girl, I won't lie for Ming Xiang." Last night, it was actually Lingxiang in Aunt Liu's room who came to me, saying that Mingxiang was suffering from the cold, but she was afraid that Aunt Liu would drive her home and didn't dare to see the doctor. This matter was inadvertently known by the second girl, so she quietly went to Tingfeng Zhai to help Mingxiang see the disease. I didn't want to meet Aunt Li when I came out of Tingfeng Zhai, and I was afraid that Mingxiang would be blamed for hiding her illness, so I had to lie. ”

She kowtowed respectfully in the direction of Father Yan and Aunt Liu: "Master, Aunt Liu, the second girl is definitely kind-hearted, except for seeing a doctor for Mingxiang, listening to the place where Fengzhai should not go, the second girl definitely didn't step into it, let alone stealing anything!" ”

Yan Xiaowei saw that she did not hesitate to kowtow in order to distinguish her innocence, and hurriedly stretched out her hand to pull her: "Yaxiang, what are you doing, get up quickly!" I didn't steal anything, I didn't steal, and those who are clear will clear themselves! ”

Ya Xiang didn't get up, still staring at Father Yan and Aunt Liu: "What Ya Xiang said is true, if you don't believe it, you can ask Lingxiang and them, please let the second girl go!" ”

Father Yan twisted his eyebrows, and his eyes went back and forth between Yan Xiaoyun and Ya Xiang: "One moment I said that I went to listen to Fengzhai to ask about things, and then I said that I was seeing a doctor for others!" Which of your mouths is true! ”

Aunt Liu snorted coldly: "Master, can't you see this, of course the maid is talking to the young lady." In my opinion, I lost my things, maybe the two of them worked together! ”

Yan Xiaoyan was extremely angry, and the blood on her face was lost in an instant, and she trembled her lips and said, "Are we lying, you can ask Lingxiang them!" ”

Aunt Liu smiled sarcastically: "In front of you, do they dare to say that what you said is wrong?" When am I a fool? Less nonsense, let's talk about it first! ”

Seeing that Father Yan didn't speak, the little girl obviously acquiesced to Aunt Liu's meaning, and came up and folded Yan Xiaoyan and Ya Xiang's hands back without saying anything, and pushed them out of the front hall.

Along the way, the maids and daughters of Yan's Mansion were pointing nearby, and vaguely heard words like "stealing" and "wild girl", Yan Xiaowei was angry and painful, and the more she struggled the little girl on her back, the harder she worked, she was almost going crazy.

Pushing the two into the ancestral hall, the little servant locked the door neatly.

It was suddenly dark in front of him, and he could only see that under the yellowish candle flame in front of him, the tablet of the ancestors of the Yan family was glowing with a cold light.

Yaxiang slapped the door with a "pop": "Let us out, we were wronged, let us out!" ”

The force was so great that it shook off the dust on the beams of the house.

Yan Xiaowei sat cross-legged on the mat and waved helplessly to Ya Xiang: "Don't shoot, they can't let us out!" ”

Yaxiang listened, withdrew her hand with a flat mouth, and shrank to her side with tears in her eyes: "Girl, it's me who has troubled you!" If it weren't for me, you wouldn't have been able to listen to Fengzhai, and you wouldn't have been misunderstood! ”

Yan Xiaoyan shook her head: "Don't say that, I will also help if I change someone else." Besides, who knew this would happen? Don't blame yourself! ”

Yaxiang wiped the corners of her eyes: "But girl, what should we do now?" ”
