Text Text_Chapter 173 Turning defeat into victory
In the outer study of the overseer, everyone insisted on their own words.
Si Qiongzhi said: "This is Sister Gu's watch, she wears it on my hand. ”
The maid of the fifth aunt said: "This is indeed Miss Gu's, and it was given to Miss Gu by the fifth aunt." ”
The fifth aunt's face was full of ignorance, looking at this and that, looking at it dazed and innocent.
Gu Qingzhou had a very exaggerated surprise, and crossed the fifth aunt to see Xiuxiu: "What? Was it given to me by my fifth aunt? ”
She was surprised.
Xiuxiu involuntarily shrunk her shoulders, and then tried to straighten up, refusing to show her timidity again.
The surprise on the fifth aunt's face was restrained and hesitant, she looked at Gu Qingzhou, and then looked at the watch in Si Dujun's hand, and then she said confused and dazed: "I haven't given a watch to Miss Gu."
Xiuxiu was stunned in her heart, and her body couldn't help but shake again.
Si Qiongzhi was also stunned.
This watch looks so expensive that it is ordinary, the fifth aunt gave it too much, why would she not admit it?
"Did they find out? If not, why would they make a good confession? If he finds out, then how will Gu Qingzhou fight back against me? Si Qiongzhi's heart suddenly became even more chaotic.
She was so surprised.
As soon as he encountered an accident, Si Qiongzhi couldn't calm down.
The expressions of several women were in full view of the Overseer.
"Okay, it's late at night, so let's go and rest first." As if he had made a decision, the fifth aunt and the servant went out first, and then said to the adjutant, "Go and call the second young man, it's so late, let the second young man send Miss Gu home." ”
Si Qiongzhi's expression changed drastically.
Why, did her father really think the watch was hers?
Si Qiongzhi was confused, she didn't know which step she hadn't taken well.
Obviously, you won't lose!
Why did her father think she was the one who took the watch? She said that Gu Qingzhou forcibly stuffed it to her.
Si Qiongzhi's face changed, Xiuxiu looked at her face, thought of her words, and immediately knelt down to Si Overseer: "Overseer, I don't dare to lie, it was really my aunt who sent me to buy it, she gave it to Miss Gu, and I still have a receipt!" ”
With that, she took out the receipt from the pocket of her coat and handed it to the Overseer.
The attitude of the superintendent has always been unpredictable.
He seemed to be light and light, and he didn't care. And the bureau arranged by Si Qiongzhi, Xiuxiu felt that Si Qiongzhi should have a greater reaction, how could this be?
"I'll see," Si Overseer took the receipt, looked at the model, and said, "The one you bought is not the same watch as the one I have in my hand." ”
"But I saw with my own eyes that the fifth aunt gave it to Miss Gu!" Xiuxiu hurriedly said, "Then the watch I bought must still be on the fifth aunt." Overseer, ask the Fifth Aunt! ”
Si Dujun turned around and looked at the fifth aunt.
The fifth aunt's eyes were stunned, and a wisp of green silk was half-hanging, adding a bit of clarity to her warm eyebrows, and she was confused and ignorant.
Si Dujun looked over, and the fifth aunt glanced at him, and then turned her eyes to look at Xiuxiu: "Xiuxiu, what are you talking about?" ”
Xiuxiu is almost out of control at this moment.
And in Si Qiongzhi's heart, isn't it seven up and eight down?
Could it be that Gu Qingzhou already knew that there was something wrong with this watch? Otherwise, how did she collude with the fifth aunt too much?
Why should they deny it?
In their opinion, it should be just an expensive watch, a common thing in the Overseer's House, what would they do otherwise!
Looking at the fifth aunt's appearance, others will think that she really doesn't know and has never seen a watch.
But she knew that it was she who gave it to Gu Qingzhou!
The fifth aunt acted so well, Si Qiongzhi was impressed, and it was the first time she knew that the fifth aunt still had such skills.
Si Qiongzhi always thought that the fifth aunt was too loyal and honest, at least she didn't have any scheming.
Now in this performance, Si Qiongzhi suddenly felt that he had underestimated the fifth aunt.
"Fifth aunt, why are you lying?" Xiuxiu was in a hurry, regardless of her dignity, and stepped forward to rummage through the coat pocket of the fifth aunt.
The fifth aunt was still stunned, and let Xiuxiu rummage through her pockets.
Xiuxiu took out a watch from the coat pocket of the fifth aunt.
It is only a brand-name watch, and the price is not low.
"Overseer, look, this is the table that the fifth aunt is hiding!" Xiuxiu offered a treasure and handed it to the Si Dujun, and the anxiety in her heart finally decreased.
As everyone knows, when she personally rummaged through the fifth aunt's big pocket, Si Dujun's brows were already deeply frowned.
Si Qiongzhi was afraid that Si Dujun would think too much and suspect her, so she took the opportunity to explain: "Abba, you also saw that the fifth aunt changed the watch for Sister Gu, but Sister Gu gave me the watch. I don't know what's going on! ”
Gu Qingzhou was silent.
She didn't explain, looking at Si Qiongzhi, and then at Si Dujun and the others, showing a puzzled expression from time to time.
The Overseer stood up suddenly.
Si Qiongzhi breathed a sigh of relief, and so did Xiuxiu.
Although the plan was a bit of an ordeal, it finally succeeded, and Si Qiongzhi was quite satisfied.
"Abba finally believes!" Si Qiongzhi sighed in her heart, it was too difficult for her to implement this plan!
Only she and Cuihua knew how hard it took to steal this watch.
Unexpectedly, Si Dujun stood up and said to the fifth aunt: "Ayan, you go back to the room first!" Come on, send Miss Gu home! ”
This time, Si Qiongzhi and Xiuxiu were left behind.
Si Qiongzhi hadn't been happy for a few seconds, and suddenly he was splashed with cold water on his head, and he was immediately stunned.
How so?
Let Gu Qingzhou and the fifth aunt go back, which shows that Si Dujun did not suspect the two of them, but suspected Xiuxiu and Si Qiongzhi!
"Abba, how can you let them go?" Si Qiongzhi screamed sharply, "This watch is very important, even if it is a little suspicion, it needs to be interrogated more!" ”
As soon as Gu Qingzhou and the fifth aunt leave, they may not be suspicious at all, at least not in the hearts of the overseers.
Si Qiongzhi couldn't let them go, and her play hadn't finished singing yet.
Si Dujun turned around slowly, his face was solemn and majestic, with the momentum of Mount Tai's overwhelming, and asked Si Qiongzhi with anger: "Qiongzhi, how do you know that this watch is very important?" ”
Si Qiongzhi's head buzzed, and he almost passed out.
She didn't admit to herself anymore.
Ever since Gu Qingzhou put the watch on her wrist and her father saw her working on the watch with his own eyes, Si Qiongzhi knew that he couldn't completely get rid of it.
In her plan, she is not half a point.
As soon as Gu Qingzhou tossed her like this, Si Qiongzhi panicked, she didn't have a backup plan, and she didn't think about what she should do if her father suspected her!
The person who was caught wearing a watch by her father should be Gu Qingzhou, but it turned out to be Si Qiongzhi.
Since then, Si Qiongzhi has been in turmoil, and there are even more loopholes in the back.
"I never said this watch is important, Joan." The voice of the Overseer seemed to have come from ancient times, revealing a deep sense of disappointment.
Si Qiongzhi also came to this moment before she remembered that her father had never said it!
Never!
This is a very ordinary luxury watch!
The watch was lying in the safe in the Overseer's study. Si Qiongzhi saw it by chance, and thought to himself that with such an ordinary gold watch, what was his father doing hiding it?
She was also curious at the time.
"Since it's hidden, it must be very valuable." Si Qiongzhi thought so at the time.
So, she stole the watch by taking advantage of the fact that the Overseer was unguarded against her.
Si Qiongzhi promised Xiuxiu a lot of profits, asked Xiuxiu to persuade the fifth aunt to send the watch to Gu Qingzhou, and asked Xiuxiu to buy the watch and put it in the fifth aunt's pocket.
Except for the person who stole the watch, no one should know that the watch is important.
Stealing a very important watch from the military government is a military taboo, and Si Qiongzhi is counting on taking the opportunity to ruin Gu Qingzhou's good image in the hearts of Si Doujun.
Gu Qingzhou and Fifth Aunt Tai had doubts on their faces, but they were not half afraid, because they also felt that it was just a watch.
A watch, what are you nervous about?
Only Si Qiongzhi was nervous.
Her nervousness betrayed her a long time ago!
By the time she said "it's a big deal", she had fully admitted it!
Si Qiongzhi's legs were weak and he collapsed on the ground.
Gu Qingzhou and the fifth aunt were a little afraid at this time.
Gu Qingzhou was pretending, she felt that the time had come now, and she was a little scared; And the fifth aunt has always been very ignorant, and followed Gu Qingzhou to act, until Si Dujun's words, she didn't know that she had been closed from the ghost gate.
Their expressions just proved their innocence, and Si Dujun said to the adjutant: "Send Fifth Aunt and Miss Gu out!" ”
Gu Qingzhou and the fifth aunt left the study.
As soon as she walked out, the fifth aunt suddenly stretched out her hand and held Gu Qingzhou's hand tightly.
The fifth aunt was too scared, and the more she thought about it, the more scared she became. In addition to being afraid, thinking of Xiuxiu helping Si Qiongzhi to apply poison, the coolness in the fifth aunt's heart came up overwhelmingly, and she almost wanted to faint.
"It's okay, Aunt Five!" Gu Qingzhou helped her steady.
The fifth aunt choked up in her throat, and she worked hard to stand firmly.
Gu Qingzhou's hand gently brushed over the fifth aunt's bun without a trace.
The fifth aunt's hair bun was pulled by Gu Qingzhou for her, in the dark, Gu Qingzhou gently took it, and the fifth aunt felt her hair move slightly, just as Gu Qingzhou accidentally bumped into it.
The fifth aunt's mind was all on Xiuxiu, Si Qiongzhi and the watch, and she didn't pay attention to Gu Qingzhou's movements.
"I should have sent you back to your room, but I didn't know if it was appropriate before." Standing in the outer courtyard of the study, Gu Qingzhou said to the fifth aunt.
The cold rain was like a melancholy, obliquely weaving densely, a thin layer of mist around them, and in the orange light of the street lamp, both of them looked a little pale.
"Don't bother, it's late, Miss Gu should go home quickly." The fifth aunt is too much.
Gu Qingzhou nodded.
She followed the lieutenant to the gates of the Overseer's Palace, and then went home.
Back at home, Gu Qingzhou locked the porter, there was a bearing-like gadget in her palm, but it was the size of a pearl, and it was easy to find.
This was taken out by Gu Qingzhou from the gold watch.
When the fifth aunt gave her the gold watch, she went to the bathroom, afraid that there was a mechanism hidden in it, Gu Qingzhou used a silver needle to pluck it, and then found that this bearing could move.
She didn't know what it was, so she took it out.
She used the excuse of pulling her hair for her fifth aunt, hid it in her fifth aunt's bun, and wore it with a strand of thin hair.
She was afraid of getting into a fuss and searching her body.
Unexpectedly, Si Dujun didn't suspect her.
Until he left the Overseer's Mansion, Gu Qingzhou deliberately brushed off the fifth aunt's bun and took it out without a trace.
