Chapter 31 Misfortune Leads to the East
Soon, someone told Gong Xiangling the news.
Gong Xiangling glanced at those ladies with a strange expression, this should be a matter of the back house, but it involves Yu Wenhao's little lover, according to Yu Wenhao's short-term temperament, I am afraid this matter will not be so easy to solve.
Sure enough, when he heard the news from his secret guards, Yu Wenhao's face suddenly sank.
He guessed that Liu Pearl would be unfavorable to Lin Jiujiu, but he didn't expect her to use such a method.
However, Lin Jiujiu's handling method also made him a little proud, which was equivalent to directly taking Liu Pearl into an army, if it weren't for Mrs. Liu, it is estimated that Liu Pearl would not be able to bear the confession now.
"Lord Wang, I heard that there was a theft in the backyard just now, and the real culprit hasn't been caught yet, how can we eat with confidence." It was a military general who followed Yu Wenhao to speak.
The people in Yu Wenhao's army are all straightforward, he got Yu Wenhao's instructions, and he was indeed ashamed of such behavior in his heart, so he was even more polite when he spoke: "The things that all the adults here carry are valuables, not to mention those of us who are generals, the talismans are all carried with us." If it is stolen by someone, I don't know how to explain it to the emperor. ”
All of a sudden, this matter rose to the level of the state.
Not only Liu Zhu, but even Mrs. Liu's face turned pale.
Liu Zhengdao has always paid attention to his personal image, and he is good at dancing with long sleeves.
At this time, listening to what the general said, he naturally spoke righteously: "Lord, the old minister also thinks that this matter should be thoroughly investigated. ”
Before he finished speaking, he was dragged by Mrs. Liu.
Before Liu Zhengdao could react, he looked at Mrs. Liu angrily, but when he saw Liu Pearl standing behind Mrs. Liu with a sad face, he suddenly understood what was going on.
Liu Zhengdao also has a few concubines in the house, where there are women, there are disputes, Liu Zhengdao has not seen those women intriguing, but because Mrs. Liu has a lot of means, those people will not bother him.
But it's one thing in the palace, and behind closed doors, ugly things won't spread outside, but now, it's in the regent's palace.
If he is really embarrassed, his reputation for so many years will be ruined.
As soon as he thought of this, he longed to strangle Mrs. Liu and Liu Pearl to death together, but the words he said were the water that was spilled, and although his face was ugly, he couldn't take back what he said.
"What the Prime Minister said is, I heard Jiujiu say that the reason why she went to change her clothes was because a little girl spilled tea on her, the people in the palace are all well-trained, how can there be such a mistake, I suggest checking that little girl first." Yu Wenhao spoke on the side.
At this time, Mrs. Liu is completely bloodless.
She only thought that the maids in her house were easy to handle, but she didn't expect that Liu Pearl would also buy off the maids in the palace.
If you confess yourself and buy the people of the palace, the entire Liufu will suffer together.
She only hoped that the little girl would disappear, but the next moment, she heard a soft voice coming from outside the door: "Lord, the concubine watched this little girl pack up and run away, afraid that she would steal the things of the palace, so she brought her over." ”
Lin Jiujiu squinted his eyes and saw that the person who had just come in from outside was not the late autumn, and the little girl who was grabbed by the subordinates was the maid who made tea for herself.
Liu Pearl was trembling all over, and even her teeth seemed to be uncontrollable, constantly shivering.
Madame Liu reached over and squeezed her palm.
"Don't panic."
The faint voice came into Liu Zhuzhu's ears, she really hated Lin Jiujiu in her heart, but now she had nothing to do with her.
She took two deep breaths before she resisted the urge to tremble.
The little girl was also trembling. Yu Wenhao's people walked up to the little girl and asked her viciously: "Say, why did you pour tea on Miss Lin, who instructed her?" ”
"I didn't mean it, I didn't mean it......"
The little girl shook her head again and again, as if she was scared silly, and could only say this.
"This general, are you going to bend into a move?"
Mrs. Liu was panicked and hurriedly said, as long as this little girl didn't mean to bite her to death, there was no proof of death in this matter.
Lin Jiujiu glanced at her, stepped forward and squatted down, looking at the little girl: "Didn't I say forget it?" So what else are you running? ”
After speaking, he looked up at the late autumn: "I just heard this sister say that this little girl is soft, I don't know how much gold and silver the girl in the palace has?" ”
Late Autumn seemed to be waiting for this one, took out a package, and shivered. Then he heard the sound of "Ding Lingchang", and some fine pieces of silver, along with a few gold and silver jewelry, fell to the ground.
All eyes were on the jewelry on the ground.
The others are ordinary, but the golden hairpin is not an ordinary thing at first glance.
Some of them have already recognized it, and although the voice is not high, everyone present can hear it clearly: "Didn't this Miss Liu wear it on her head during the Chinese New Year?" ”
The voice fell, and the entire hall fell silent.
The next moment, the slap and the girl's exclamation rang out.
Mrs. Liu scolded: "It turned out that you girl did a good thing!" ”
Gong Xiangling originally looked like he was watching from the wall, but when he heard Mrs. Liu's voice, he looked at her and asked, "Mrs. Liu, what do you mean by this?" ”
Mrs. Liu knelt on the ground all of a sudden: "This golden hairpin is a gift from me to the pearl, but I couldn't find it when I wore it during the Chinese New Year, but I didn't expect it to be a lax tutor and was stolen by the girl next to her." This little girl's hands and feet are usually not clean, and the pearl is soft and saw that she was pitiful, so she didn't pursue it, but she didn't expect her to do such a thing. ”
As he spoke, Liu Zhuzhu, who was dragging to the side, also knelt down.
She glanced at Lin Jiujiu and said very sadly: "In the final analysis, this matter is still the fault of our mother and son, if we weren't soft-hearted, we wouldn't have let this girl do this kind of thing and slander Miss Lin." ”
Lin Jiujiu didn't expect that these two people would be able to make wisdom in a hurry and put the responsibility on this little girl.
After all, this kind of thing is a secret of the high gate, and it will be embarrassing to spread it, no matter how much she wants to pursue it, at this moment, she can only sit on the side and smile, and by the way, she will press Yu Wenhao who wants to stand up for her.
The little girl should have been threatened by Mrs. Liu, although she was wronged in her eyes, she still said that the jade pendant was stolen by her, and she was in a hurry to hang it on Lin Jiujiu's body when she saw that the east window incident was in a hurry.
And the little girl who poured the tea was her accomplice, the two met in the palace before, and they became friends after coming and going.
This matter was cleaned up by Mrs. Liu, and it seemed that it was really like that on the surface.
But so many people here are not stupid, how can they not know the twists and turns in this, and they all laugh and watch all this happen.
