Chapter 286: Theft
Hearing that it was the daughter of the Mo family who was raised in Ganfu, Xue Baoyun was a little uneasy.
She asked Lang Zhong to enter the house, without alarming the guests, and only rushed over when the play was almost finished singing and sending off the guests.
"Peilin, are you awake?" Xue Baoyun saw Gan Peilin sitting motionless on the edge of the bed in a daze, and she was a little worried. "She's ...... Isn't it good? ”
Lang Zhong said that her injuries were not light, but internal injuries. Even if you don't fall off the stage, you won't be able to hold on for long. Gan Peilin said truthfully. But don't worry about mothers. I have asked people to go back to Ganfu to deliver a letter to inform my mother. Later, when the guests dispersed, Gan Fu would come to pick her up. ”
"That's good." Xue Baoyun breathed a sigh of relief, and felt that her reaction was not quite right, so she hurriedly explained: "Actually, there is nothing wrong with staying and recuperating from injuries. It's just that she was raised by your mother, after all, and she is always taken care of by her relatives, so she is more at ease. ”
"yes." Gan Peilin nodded gently: "I'm causing trouble to my mother." ”
"It's all a family, so there's no need to say such things." Xue Baoyun's face was slightly warm, and then she felt strange: "It's just that she is so good, how can she dress up as a drama and appear on stage?" Besides, was the person who was locked in the box also tied up by her? It looks weak and doesn't look like it. ”
"I'm afraid these things will only know when she wakes up." Gan Peilin said.
"Madam, something is wrong," the butler came in panting, his face ugly. Seeing that Gan Peilin was also there, he said again: "Old lady, something happened in the house." ”
The implication is that something happened to Jiang Fu.
Gan Peilin was naturally very surprised, and looked sideways at the swallow.
"You speak slowly, don't scare the new lady." Xue Baoyun deliberately told him this way, showing that he cared about Gan Peilin.
"Old lady......" The butler's voice trembled: "The little maid found that the door of the inner courtyard was open, as if someone had entered. The pearl of the night that you offer in the Treasure Pavilion...... It's gone. ”
"What did you say?" Xue Baoyun's face changed instantly. "Isn't the inner courtyard always guarded? How could a good night pearl not be seen? What are you all doing to eat, you can't even look at a bead. ”
Xue Baoyun, who jumped like thunder, Gan Peilin was not the first time to see her. When I was going to hang her last time, I looked even more fierce than I am now.
"Mother, don't worry. There seems to be one in the treasury of the Metropolitan Governor's Mansion of the Night Pearl. Why don't I let the swallow fetch it......" Gan Peilin looked very well-behaved.
"You know what." Xue Baoyun's tone was very blunt, and when she spoke, she regretted it a little, so she changed her tone and her tone became much softer. "That night pearl is a gift from the emperor, given by the first emperor. All these years, I have been offering in the Treasure Pavilion. ”
"The ...... given by the first emperor" Gan Peilin didn't declare it, shouldn't the pearl given by the first emperor be Jiang Yu!
"It is a great disrespect to lose something that has been given by the king." Xue Baoyun's back was full of cold sweat: "If you don't find it back...... There is going to be hell to pay. ”
Gan Peilin saw that she was anxious, and said deliberately: "But today is the peach blossom banquet arranged by my mother, and there are many guests who enter the house, as well as the troupe, singing and dancing maids, and the cooks who come into the house to help the kitchen...... Even the servants and guards in his own house have a chance to attack. ”
"So what?" Xue Baoyun's tone was cold and hard: "As long as there is suspicion, no one can be let go." ”
"Then first of all, you have to know who has a grudge against Jiang Mansion and will fight the idea of that night pearl." Gan Peilin is obviously still very calm.
Xue Baoyun pursed her lips with some dissatisfaction. "Pei Lin, do you know what it means to be destroyed by Mu Xiu in the forest wind? I am the most prominent military general in this dynasty, and I am in an important position, which can be said to be above 10,000 people under one person. There are many people who look at Jiang Mansion unpleasantly. ”
"Yes." Gan Peilin lowered his head, showing a gentle and obedient appearance: "Mother said yes." ”
In fact, Gan Peilin knew that these words were useless, but he wanted to use the excuse to test Xue Baoyun's true intentions.
"The dignitaries and ladies can't move, so first detain the people of the troupe secretly. And the cook. Xue Baoyun thought so, and said: "The people in my own house can't relax. And then there's ......"
Her gaze fell on Mo Chuxue, who had not yet woken up on the bed.
"Mother, the first snow won't." Gan Peilin deliberately said in a panic: "She has been raised in Ganfu since she was a child, she is quiet and well-behaved on weekdays, and she is timid, she will not ......"
Xue Baoyun smiled, but took a step forward and suppressed Gan Peilin with her aura. So Gan Peilin didn't finish the rest of the words.
At this time, the little maid outside came to tell him that the carriage of Ganfu had arrived and he wanted to take Mo Chuxue back to his house.
"Huse, you go and say hello loudly, just say that the girl of the Mo family is not lightly injured, and it is inconvenient to move, so she will stay in the Jiang Mansion to recuperate for the time being. Tomorrow morning, I will go to Ganfu to explain. While Xue Baoyun spoke, her eyes never left Gan Peilin.
Gan Peilin wished she did this, so she would have the opportunity to stay with Mo Chuxue for an excuse.
"Peilin, don't worry about it. Mother is not suspicious of you as a cousin. It's just that her appearance is a little strange, maybe the person who hurt her is the one who stole the Night Pearl. So it's the safest way to leave her behind and find out. Xue Baoyun explained it like this, she simply regarded Gan Peilin as a three-year-old child.
Gan Peilin nodded again and again, expressing understanding: "Mother, don't worry, I will stay and take good care of Chu Xue." When she wakes up, I'll be sure to ask what's going on. ”
"It's fine." Xue Baoyun nodded: "You just stay." Although the guards of the Jiang Mansion are not as good as the Metropolitan Governor's Mansion, they are not weak. can do such a thing under our noses, and I think the other party has some ability. After all, you have to be careful. ”
In fact, the meaning of these words is obvious, Xue Baoyun is suspicious of Gan Peilin together.
Originally, she almost killed her last time, if she hadn't forgotten about it, how could she not retaliate.
"I'll go to the Treasure Pavilion first to see what happens." Xue Baoyun said with a solemn face: "Jiang Mansion is so messy, I don't know what to do. Peilin, you just stay and take good care of her, and don't walk around yourself, so as not to be in any danger. ”
"Got it, Mother." Gan Peilin and Yue agreed, without the slightest hesitation.
Xue Baoyun walked out of the room, and hurriedly instructed Hui Se: "Go and clean up the wing room next door, and let the new lady live later." ”
"Yes." Edher hurriedly responded.
In the wing, Yanzi heard this and wanted to chase him out and refuse, but was stopped by Gan Peilin.
"Where you come, you are safe."
"Madam, it's not that slaves are troublesome." Yanzi's eyebrows furrowed slightly: "It is said that they are all a family, how can they suspect their own family first if they lose something." The slave always feels that the old lady is suspicious of you at all. ”
"If you lose something, you can see that everyone is a thief, this is just a thought that everyone will have." Gan Peilin said casually: "There is something I think is very strange. ”
"Madame, please." The swallow walked very close to Gan Peilin.
"Captain Jiang is a little abnormal today, could it have something to do with this?" Gan Peilin looked at Yanzi again and again, as if it was inconvenient to say more.
Yan Zi nodded slightly: "What Madame said is very true, and the slave will deal with it carefully." ”
"I'm a sensitive person, so I shouldn't have asked about these things." Gan Peilin was slightly embarrassed: "But this matter involves the whole body, the Jiang Mansion is in trouble, and it is impossible for the Metropolitan Governor's Mansion to stay out of the matter, so you had better check it yourself." ”
"Yes." Yanzi nodded: "Madame, don't worry, there is Heiyan outside to protect you." ”
"Hmm." Gan Peilin watched her leave the room, took out a medicine bottle from her body, took out the pill and stuffed it into Mo Chuxue's mouth.
The crispy core immediately brought a cup of warm water and poured it into the first snow.
The warm water slowly slid from her mouth into her throat, and Mo Chuxue took a sharp breath and coughed straight after choking.
"Awake?" Gan Peilin stared at Mo Chuxue, she was like an ordeal that she had to go through in her fate.
"Sister, help me." Mo Chuxue's eyes were red, and she grabbed Gan Peilin's hands with both hands: "They threatened me, they forced me to come." ”
"Who?" Gan Peilin looked at him suspiciously.
"I don't know who these people are." Mo Chuxue lowered her eyes: "But they always have a way to find me and pester me!" ”
"Last time, you were rescued by Jiang Yu and returned to Ganfu, and these people were the ones who chased and killed you?" Gan Peilin asked.
"Yes." Mo Chuxue nodded with tears in her eyes.
"Then where did you get into trouble with these people?" Gan Peilin was curious.
Mo Chuxue's eyes turned red all of a sudden: "It was I who almost committed suicide and was saved by them." So they asked me to do something to repay them. Last time in the market, they asked me to sneak a woman's child, but I refused, so I ran away while they were defenseless. Fortunately, he was rescued by the Grand Governor. This time, I knew that Ao Xuan was safe and sound, and rushed back with Liulan, and met those people again halfway. Liulan is invincible, I don't know what is happening now. But I was caught by them, so I pretended to be a drama and stepped onto the stage of Jiang's mansion. ”
"You mean, you were arranged by those people to enter the Jiang Mansion?" Gan Peilin looked at her with tears on her face, and she was indeed a little pitiful.
"Yes." Mo Chuxue cried and said, "Every time they appear, they cover their faces, and I don't know what they look like at all." But they seemed to know everything about me. Even Ao Sue ...... I really don't know what to do? ”
"Then they just let you come to Jiang Mansion to sing, but what else is there?" Gan Peilin looked at Mo Chuxue's eyes and asked.
"I don't know how to sing at all, and I'm going to make a fool of myself if I make a splash like this." Mo Chuxue was in tears, aggrieved: "I was only thinking about what to do, and I couldn't care about anything else." In fact, they did not give me anything else but to tell me. ”
If you use Mo Chuxue to attract other people's attention, it seems that Mo Chuxue fell off the stage and didn't make much waves. Gan Peilin was suspicious in his heart: "Your injury is not light, so stay in Jiangfu for the time being." We'll talk about the rest later. ”
Gan Peilin broke free of Mo Chuxue's hand and wanted to get up.
"Sister, do you believe me?" Mo Chuxue was in a hurry to chase her and almost fell off the bed: "I was really just coerced in." ”
"I believe it or not, it matters." Gan Peilin didn't look back, and walked out on his own.
"Is Ao Su going to marry Princess Ting?" Mo Chuxue asked unwillingly.
"Marriage next month." Gan Peilin didn't hide it, and when the words fell, he heard Mo Chuxue crying.
The cry was muffled and uncomfortable. But in the past, she seemed to have cried for Ao Xuan like this.
