Second Mrs. Ji gathered all the maids and ladies in the hall and other subordinates in one place, and searched from this place first, so that if these subordinates were to make trouble, they would also save offending those noble ladies and misses.

Gui Mingyue watched Jin Qi'er go like this, and then looked at the unfathomable expression of Mrs. Ji, as well as the evasive eyes of Mrs. Ji, Gui Mingyue suddenly screamed in her heart.

But Jin Qi'er still stood calmly between the maids.

Second Mrs. Ji led the maid who was in charge of the body search, and searched these subordinates one by one.

I searched them one by one, but there was none.

It wasn't until it was Jin Qi'er's turn that the maid scoured a purse from her sleeve. Shouted: "Found it!" She stole it. ”

"You say!" Jin Qi'er said anxiously: "This is my own purse, and it contains the warm-up pill that the tortoiseshell prepared for me, not your night pearl." ”

"Open!" Mrs. Ji shouted.

"Yes, Madame." The maid listened to the eldest lady's instructions, and without saying a word, she opened the purse.

A black pill-like thing rolled out, and when Gui Mingyue was about to breathe a sigh of relief, the maid took it in her hand and wiped it vigorously on her sleeve a few times.

The black stuff on the balls was wiped off, revealing beads the size of pigeon eggs glowing.

This is the lost pearl of the night!

Everyone's eyes lit up, and they looked at this little maid for a while, and then looked at the master who was quite protective of her, that is, the eldest and young grandmother of Ji Mansion.

There's another good show.

This banquet in Jifu, but for half a night, the scene can really be described as ups and downs, wonderful.

"Miss, it's not me, it's not me who stole it!" Only then did Jin Qi'er react, and muttered incredulously: "My purse is obviously filled with warm-up pills, why did it become a pearl of the night?" It's impossible. ”

Jin Qi'er was puzzled.

Seeing her like this, Gui Mingyue sighed, of course she believed in Jin Qi'er, she didn't have any good things there, and a few of their maids were also extraordinary, how could they be fascinated by this night pearl the size of a pigeon's egg.

It's just that now that the evidence is conclusive, it's difficult......

Everyone knows that this little maid is different from Gui Mingyue, just when the female guests were energetic and wanted to watch this big drama between Mrs. Ji and Mrs. Ji's grandmother, even the tall and arrogant Miss Lin Zhanmei Lin was not in a hurry to leave, and simply watched all this like a good show.

"Distinguished guests, the hour is not early, and there are still thieves in the Hou Mansion to be punished, and tonight's banquet should be dispersed," Mrs. Ji stood up and said majestically: "Lian, don't go and send off the guests." ”

Lian hurriedly responded, and the female guests saw that they didn't plan to keep guests, so they had to get up one after another, but everyone's eyes were full of excitement and gossip, as if there was another interesting conversation after dinner.

Mrs. Ji didn't know what they were thinking, she was angry and resentful, she really underestimated this Gui clan, she had always been submissive, and today she lost her face in front of the nobles in the capital, bringing so much embarrassment to herself.

Coupled with her relationship with the eldest princess of Showa, the eldest lady was even more taboo in her heart.

A few days ago, the Hou Ye went to her room, and during the conversation, it was revealed that the saint urged him to set the new prince of the Hou Mansion as soon as possible, and according to the status of Ji Yunyi's concubine in the court, the saint intended to crown Ji Yunyi as the prince, but Ji Hou Ye had his own plans, so he quietly fooled the past.

After more than ten years of support, Mrs. Ji knew the taboo of Marquis Ji, he was afraid that the limelight of that concubine would be too strong, and he always wanted not to offend him, but also to suppress him secretly.

is the matter of sealing the world, although it is imminent, but who will be the son of the world has to be considered.

Mrs. Ji originally thought that the left and right were not her own, as long as she could handle them in her own hands, it would be good for anyone to be the son of this life.

Although Ji Yunyi is uninhibited, according to his nervousness about the Gui family, as long as the Gui family is controlled, it is not impossible for him to be the son of the world.

However, at the moment, this Guishi is not a fuel-efficient lamp, and it is even more fearful than the concubines of the Hou Ye.

No matter what, I can't spare her this time!

"Family law serving!" The guests were gone, and Mrs. Ji shouted.

Jin Qi'er was dragged into the yard by two strong mothers-in-law.

"Who dare!" Gui Mingyue also shouted angrily.

Now that you've torn your face, there's no need to hide it anymore.

"But did anyone see me stealing the pearl of the night?" Gui Mingyue asked sharply, grabbed the maid who searched for the night pearl from Jin Qi'er, and asked, "Is it you, you saw her steal it with your own eyes?" ”

"I didn't ...... Back to the young grandmother's words, the slave maid didn't see it with her own eyes, but the pearl of the night was found from her. This maid is the powerful big maid beside Mrs. Ji, and she was grabbed by the collar by Gui Mingyue, and there was only a moment of panic, and she immediately returned to her normal color, and said without humility or arrogance.

"Heh, you haven't seen it with your own eyes, how do you know that this appearance looks like a pill with a night pearl hidden inside? You didn't deliberately put it in and blame my maid. Gui Mingyue's eyes narrowed and reprimanded.

"No, it's not me, the slave is wronged, please ask the eldest lady to be the master of the slave." The maid was stared at by Gui Mingyue's scorching gaze, so she had to turn around and beg the eldest lady.

"Gui, you are presumptuous!" Mrs. Ji said coldly: "You are shouting like this, where are the house rules?" In any case, this pearl of the night was found from your maid's body, and she will not be spared the crime of stealing today. ”

In the middle of the night, the Marquis Mansion of Nuoda was dead silent. Whether it was the second lady of Ji, the Lian clan and the slave Du Yaqi were silent, only Jin Qi'er knelt on the ground, and saw that the young lady was fighting against the entire Jihou Mansion for herself, she couldn't help but sobbed quietly, there were infinite grievances and fears in it.

Gui Mingyue looked at Mrs. Ji's gloomy and terrifying face and asked, "Dare to ask Mrs. Ji what to do with me?" ”

"Mama Yuan, come on." Mrs. Ji snorted coldly and said.

"If you go back to the eldest lady, if the servants in the house have unclean hands and feet, and steal the master's property, they should cut off their hands according to the family rules." Mama Yuan's expressionless tone came slowly.

"Then what are you waiting for, why don't you hurry up and cut off the hands of this bold golden coin for me." Mrs. Ji ordered.

"Big lady, slow execution, I still don't know anything," Gui Mingyue stopped.

Why hasn't this Ji Yunyi come back yet!

You say, "You just delay, that concubine is estimated not to come back tonight, and the Hou Ye has already sent a message back to say that there is something important to summon a few important ministers tonight, and he may not be able to come back until tomorrow."

Ji Yunyi also sent someone back to pass the word to Gui Mingyue, but was intercepted by Mrs. Ji, and Gui Mingyue has been kept in the dark.

Gui Mingyue picked up the night pearl and said: "But all thieves will do such stealing things because of greed, and this night pearl may be rare for others, but in my west courtyard," Gui Mingyue looked at Lian's family, and then said: "But there is one that is several times bigger than this one, even if my maid wants to steal it, she will naturally steal that one, how can she top this small one." ”

"Oh, so there's a bigger night pearl in Grandma's place?" Mrs. Ji asked mockingly.

"Naturally, my night pearl is the size of a fist, and I've seen this gold coin a few times in the past, wouldn't it be easier to talk about stealing?" Gui Mingyue said.

"This night pearl is such a rare and precious thing, the size of a pigeon's egg is already a rarity, the young grandmother actually said that she has the size of a fist, is she fooling us." Mama Yuan sneered and said in disbelief.

"Naturally, it's true, before the banquet a few days ago, the princess borrowed it from me, and the second aunt was also present at the time, and they both can testify for me." Gui Mingyue hurriedly said.

Then he looked at Lian and Mrs. Ji.

"Lian, what she said is true? Have you ever borrowed that pearl of the night from her? Mrs. Ji asked.

"This ...... I don't remember borrowing it from my sister-in-law, and I never knew that my sister-in-law had such a night pearl. Lian's eyes dodged, he didn't dare to look at Gui Mingyue, he only lowered his head and said.

"Brother and sister, what about you?" Mrs. Ji sneered, and then turned her head to ask Mrs. Ji.

"I ......" Second Lady Ji looked at Gui Mingyue hesitantly, only to see that she was looking at herself expressionlessly, but there was a little expectation in her eyes.

Hey, for a long time, Second Lady Ji closed her eyes, shook her head, and said, "I don't remember either." ”

"Gui, what else do you have to say?" Mrs. Ji said proudly.

"I don't have anything to say, the so-called hearing is false and seeing is believing, since the princess and the second aunt refuse to admit the events of that day, and you don't want to believe that there is such a night pearl in the West Courtyard, then I will take you to see it with your own eyes."

"Good! As long as you really have such a rare pearl of the night, I will not pursue the theft of your maid tonight. If so, there is no ......" Mrs. Ji's face tightened, and said: "Then according to the family law, cut off her hands, as for you, repeatedly contradicted the elders, according to the family law, you should be slapped together!" ”

"Good! Just as the eldest lady said. "Right now, Gui Mingyue has only this one way to save Jin Qi'er.

"Miss, don't promise her! You cut off my hand, it's none of my business. "How could Jin Qi'er not guess that all this was done by Mrs. Ji, she blamed herself for being careless, and she fell in love with them for a while. Now they have to go to the treasury to see, who knows what moths they will produce, and the things in them are precious and valuable, in case something goes wrong......

Mrs. Ji led the group into the West Courtyard, and along the way, the momentum was huge.

Those aunts had been resentful because they were not qualified to attend such a banquet, and they had not fallen asleep.
