This Gu Liniang used to have the problem of taking the sheep and being greedy for small and cheap things, and her previous deeds were indeed a little suspicious, so Gu Zheng subconsciously thought that this bag of things was really stolen by Gu Liniang, after all, Gu Liniang's criminal record is too much, and it is difficult not to suspect her!

As soon as this thought slipped through her mind, Gu Zheng's face gradually became ugly——— although Gu Liniang was wrong to steal things, she still had to think of a way to let the Cen family let Gu Liniang go.

Unexpectedly, just when even Gu Zheng thought that Gu Liniang stole the thing, Gu Liniang argued loudly with a thick neck and a red face: "I didn't steal this thing!" Why are you convicting me without asking?! ”

Mother Chen asked Gu Liniang to cut Gu Liniang's hands back, and said coldly: "Everyone has already seized all the stolen goods, what else does Mrs. Gu have to quibble?" Does Mrs. Gu dare to say that all the things in this baggage are yours? ”

Chen's mother's words made Gu Liniang's eyes flash a little bit of weakness, but her expression quickly returned to normal, and while twisting her body hard, she argued again in a loud voice: "The things in this baggage are indeed not mine, but they are not stolen by me!" This burden was picked up in the garden earlier! ”

Gu Liniang really didn't lie this time!

She had indeed gone to the garden before, but by chance she had found the indigo baggage in a corner. After Gu Liniang quietly opened the baggage, she saw that there were so many valuable things in it, and she immediately became greedy, thinking that she picked this thing anyway, not what she stole it, and others couldn't do anything with her if they knew.

So Gu Liniang quietly carried the burden back to Tingquan Courtyard, and after a few circles in the house, she stuffed the burden under the bed and hid it. Unexpectedly, Gu Liniang hid the burden on the front foot, and Gu Zheng came back on the back foot, and then Chen's mother came with someone to search the house......

Up to now, Gu Liniang can only honestly explain everything that happened, and after speaking, she didn't forget to argue for herself: "Although I shouldn't have been greedy when I saw good things and wanted to take them for myself, I really didn't steal or rob them, and I really picked up that bag of things in the garden!" ”

"Picked?"

The expression on Chen's mother's face was very exaggerated, as if she had heard a big joke: "Ouch, hey! Mrs. Gu, the excuse you made is really funny! I walk back and forth in this garden every day, why don't you see me picking up a big bag of good things for nothing?! Even if you want to lie and get out, you have to find an excuse like that, right? ”

As soon as Gu Liniang saw that Mother Chen didn't believe her words and insisted that she had stolen the things, she was so anxious that her face turned red and her muscles bulged, and she shouted hysterically: "I really didn't steal these things!" They were the ones I stumbled upon in the garden! Don't wronged the good guys! ”

Chen's mother seemed to have a bamboo in her chest, but she retorted unhurriedly: "You said that you picked this thing in the garden, so can anyone prove what you said?" Can the two girls who served you confirm it? ”

This spoon was with Gu Zheng before, but as for Zhen'er, she only accompanied Gu Liniang for a while, and was sent by Gu Liniang to the kitchen to get pastries and desserts——— which means that neither Spoon and Zhen'er could testify to Gu Liniang.

Therefore, Gu Liniang could only say truthfully in the end: "When I picked up this bag of things, the two girls were not by my side, so I can't prove it...... But even if they can't testify for me, I still picked this thing, not me stole it! You've wronged me recklessly! ”

Chen's mother didn't give Gu Liniang a chance: "If you are really wronged, then go to the prefect to avenge your grievances!" ”

As soon as Gu Zheng heard that Mother Chen was going to send Gu Liniang to the official for investigation and handling at all costs, she immediately stood up, although her tone was calm, but she had a bit of momentum that was not weak: "Mother Chen, since my mother said that she didn't steal this thing, then do you check it carefully, find out the matter clearly, and then send her to the official for investigation?" This is not a trivial matter......"

Gu Zheng said and deliberately paused, glanced at Chen's mother as if he didn't have anything, and then finished the rest of the words without hurrying: "My mother is not afraid of going to the government to go to the government like this, what she is afraid of is to turn around and ask Mrs. Tai, Mom, you have made up your mind without finding out the matter, and you can't explain it to Mrs. Tai." ”

Unexpectedly, after Gu Zheng typed out Mrs. Tai's talisman, Chen's mother still refused to let go at all, as if she was punished by Mrs. Tai afterwards, she also wanted to drive Gu Liniang out of Cen Mansion and send her to the yamen: "No!" Our lady said that the person caught stealing things must not be tolerated, and must be sent to the official immediately! ”

Before Chen's mother's words fell, Mama Yu's unhurried retort came from outside the house: "Why can't you check it carefully?" If you don't find out the matter, Mrs. Tai came back to see that the distinguished guest was sent to prison, how do you ask me to give her an explanation? Besides, when did we Dingnanbo Mansion do such an unclear thing, and if we didn't find out the matter clearly, we sent people to the government to be punished? ”

Mama Yu was able to arrive in time to make Gu Zheng happy, thinking that Mama Yu was finally willing to help her, and she was a little clever.

But Chen's mother seemed to have expected that Mama Yu would come to protect Gu Liniang, only to see her unhurriedly turn out the things that were pressed at the bottom of the baggage, and quietly hide them in her sleeves to give Mama Yu a look, and then said proudly: "If this Mrs. Gu only stole ordinary items such as jewelry, Madame would have let her go with one eye open, but she didn't know how to steal the three girls' personal belongings......"

"If this object is really taken out for her to pawn and spread outside, what face will the girl in our house have in the future?! How will our girls talk to others in the future?! She shamelessly stole the three girls' things, and wanted to ruin the reputation of our Cen family, even if Mrs. Tai was punished afterwards, for the reputation of the Cen family, she must be sent to the official to be severely punished now! ”

Gu Zheng didn't know until this time that there was still the small clothes of the third girl of the Cen family in the baggage, and he also realized that with that little clothes, the matter would immediately become a lot more serious!

This noble girl raised in the deep boudoir compound, not to mention the small clothes she wears, even if it is just a hand-made sachet and purse and other objects accidentally spread out, there will be a lot of gossip! It is even possible that someone with a heart will use it as a token of fornication, completely ruining the reputation of the girl's family!

However, Gu Zheng pondered the matter carefully, and immediately realized that the things in this bag really couldn't have been stolen by Gu Liniang——— Gu Liniang only lived in the Cen Mansion for three or five days, and often slipped out of the dog hole to gamble money, so it was impossible to have enough time to find out where the people in the Cen family lived, and found a hole to sneak in and steal the three girls' clothes!

Besides, these little clothes must be managed by the most powerful big girl in the third girl's house, which one can be stolen by Gu Liniang if she wants to?

It seems that someone took advantage of Gu Liniang's love of being greedy and cheap, and having the problem of taking the sheep hand-in-hand, and specially set up this bureau to frame her. The purpose of this person's bureau should be to drive their mother and son out of the Cen Mansion before Mrs. Tai returns home!

It seems that their mother and son have done nothing to get in the way of some people's eyes and other people's paths......

Gu Zheng thought of Mama Yu naturally thought of it, only to see Mama Yu ask calmly: "Mother Chen, since Madam wants you to take people, then you have to tell all the ins and outs of the matter, right?" You let go of Mrs. Gu first, and then make a decision after making things clear. ”

"Just say it!"

Mother Chen glanced at Mama Yu with her mouth, and finally signaled the mothers-in-law to let go first, and then said reluctantly: "Last night, a thief sneaked into the Ruixiang Garden where the girls lived, and stole some jewelry and purses and sachets from the third girl's house. After the maid in the third girl's house got up early and found out, the third girl wrote down the things lost in the house and went to the lady to make the decision, and the lady called the mother-in-law who was guarding the Ruixiang Garden to interrogate......"

The mother-in-law said that she vaguely saw Mrs. Gu's figure last night, and saw her carrying a burden in her arms and hurrying towards the ...... Madame asked me to bring someone to listen to the search of the Spring Courtyard, and I found this burden as soon as I searched, and it was full of things lost in the three girls' houses, which can be said to be stolen by everyone! ”

After Mother Chen finished speaking, she saw Mama Yu frowning without saying a word, thinking that Mama Yu couldn't say anything to refute her, so she was a little more proud at the moment: "I heard that Mrs. Gu didn't come to our mansion and had a lot of criminal records before she came to our house, and now that she has been found out to have stolen things from our house, it's nothing unusual, it's just that in response to the old saying——— dogs can't change their!" ”

"Whew! Bullshit! ”

Gu Liniang had already been wronged and choked a bad breath, and now when she saw that Mother Chen actually scolded her for being a dog, she immediately rushed to Mother Chen, slapped Mother Chen twice, and sneered at each other without showing weakness: "Old Qianma, you clean your mouth for the old lady!" The old lady has just made it very clear that I didn't steal the bag, I picked it up in the garden! ”

However, Gu Zheng still looked calm and was not affected by this sudden incident at all, and she quickly glanced at Chen's mother with a smile, and asked coldly: "Mother Chen, you just said that the things in the third girl's house were lost last night?" ”

Chen's mother replied impatiently, "That's right. ”

The smile on Gu Zheng's face became even bigger when he heard this: "In other words, the thief in your mouth sneaked into Ruixiang Garden last night to steal?" And you can already be sure that this must have been done by a thief? ”

Mother Chen obviously looked down on Gu Zheng even more, and saw that in addition to her impatient face, her chin was also raised: "Nonsense! If it weren't for the thief, who would have the ability to sneak into our Dingnanbo Mansion in the middle of the night to do such a thing? Are you all vegetarians in our outer hospitals?! ”
