"So, Mama suspects that the maid next to me stole it," Gui Mingyue asked without any expression, "Who else suspects that they stole the treasury?" ”

Seeing that the others did not move, the old Qiu family quietly glanced at them with warning eyes. Mrs. Zhang, who has always followed behind Lao Qiu's family, took a step forward, her head bowed deeply, as if she didn't dare to look at the young grandmother.

followed by a few timid little maids, two of them were Ning'er who had fainted by the old Qiu family in the courtyard before, and the other was called Rurong, who was frightened by the obscene threat of the old Qiu family in Su Rili, if he didn't stand up at this time, he would be punished by the old Qiu family's faults when he went back.

The mother-in-law Cheng and the older mother-in-law who had raised the question before did not move, and did not stand up regardless of how the old Qiu family looked at them and did not see them.

Ning Xiang, the daughter of the old Qiu family, who was originally pointing to Hongluan, saw that the situation had changed at this time, and she also took a step out triumphantly. Gui Mingyue glanced at her lightly, she couldn't help but feel cold in her heart, she felt that something was wrong with doing her like this, but after thinking about it for a long time, she couldn't remember, so she had to lower her head, neither advance nor retreat.

Lao Qiu's heart was angry and anxious, her own daughter, who lacked roots, had already made her own claim to point out Hongluan's girl, what kind of fun would she come to join in this time, Lao Qiu's family couldn't help but look up and peek at Gui Mingyue's face, lest she use her stupid girl as a pawn, who knew that she just sneered, looked at herself with a smile, and didn't say anything or do anything.

The old Qiu family couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief in their hearts, and at the same time, the sweat on their backs was cold, this young grandmother was not as sharp and straight as it was rumored outside, maybe her mind was hidden in her seemingly cool and informal straight nature.

In order to condense this girl, Lao Qiu's family softened.

Gui Mingyue looked at all this coldly, waited for the people below to stand still, pointed to the few people behind him who had not moved, and asked, "A few of you also come out to tell me what you think." ”

The first to come out was Qingxiu, I saw her Yingying Yifu, not humble and not arrogant, but she was worthy of being a young lady from an official family, but it was her father who later became an official who committed something, and she was sold into slavery, because she was the one with the most extraordinary temperament among all the maids......

"Back to the words of the young grandmother, I didn't see it with my own eyes, and there was no real evidence, Qingxiu consciously didn't dare to climb others at will, if the young grandmother wanted to punish her, Qingxiu would never complain." Qingxiu's words were loud, and her expression was indeed slightly aggrieved and unwilling, which made others feel sympathetic.

"Oh?" Gui Mingyue smiled lightly and said: "Miss Qingxiu doesn't have to feel wronged, you know that you have a noble temperament, and you are different from others, even if you know who this thief is, you are not willing to criticize others easily." That's it, if you don't want to say it, it's okay. ”

"I ...... That's not what the slave meant......" Qingxiu looked at the ugly faces of the maids around her, a little anxious, and wanted to justify, but was interrupted by Gui Mingyue waving her hand.

Phew, they're all maids, what are you pretending to be high! Especially Ning Xiang, who was the first to accuse others, wanted to spit on her face, obviously everyone is here to serve people, just her delicate and pretentious appearance every day, she must also be here to confuse the eldest young master! Thinking about it like this, Ning Xiang hated her even more in her heart, because she used to think that she was not good-looking and had no ambitions, so she didn't take her seriously at all. Now it seems that this Qingxiu is the same color as that Hongluan!

Qingxiu didn't expect that her mind would be picked up by Gui Mingyue in public like this, and then looked at Ning Xiang's fire-breathing eyes, which had always been elegant and indifferent, as if she had no desire and no desire, and couldn't help but show a little panic.

When the next few maids and daughters were inquiring about Mingyue, they either answered calmly and calmly, or stammered and did not reach their meaning, Gui Mingyue asked one by one, but they did not get angry again.

Until the sun was setting in the west, Gui Mingyue stretched her waist, and the mothers-in-law and maids who had stood for a day were even more exhausted.

"Young grandma, the eldest young master said that you should be tired after a day of interrogation, so I specially prepared a few things you like to eat, and ordered the slave to invite you to the dining room for dinner." The elder beside Ji Yunyi came in with Mingfeng and bowed.

"It's okay," Gui Mingyue nodded, raised her hand to the bottom, and said: "You guys go back separately, don't move around these days, the thieves haven't been found out, don't blame me for restricting your movements, it's really that the charges on the head of the big guy haven't been cleared yet." ”

As soon as I heard that I could go, some of the people below were relieved, and some were worried, this matter is not over, in case it is found out and dry cleaned with myself, according to the family rules, it will be sold lightly, and it will be killed with a cane; There are also a few maids who are resentful, just for the words that Mingfeng came in later, this young grandmother is cunning and vicious, how can the eldest young master be so considerate to her!

At dinner, Ji Yunyi saw that Gui Mingyue was a little tired and lazy and didn't have much appetite, so he couldn't help but feel a little distressed and anxious.

"It's all uneasy, I don't think there's a single innocent person here, none of them can get out of it, and all of them are sold." Ji Yunyi frowned and said, let Yue'er be so tired, these people are really damned!

Gui Mingyue glanced at him, and said angrily: "All of them have been sold, give your eldest lady a chance to send another batch of more difficult ones?" ”

"This ...... I went to tell her that the maid in our yard would not bother her, otherwise don't blame me for being unkind. ”

"Big brother, after so many years, don't you know that this eldest lady is such a bluffing person?" Ji Yunlang sighed, and then said to Gui Mingyue in shame: "Sister, I couldn't go out in time to help you last night, it's all Yunlang's fault, don't be angry with me, okay?" ”

Gui Mingyue shook his head, even if he came out of that situation last night, it would be useless, and thanks to him sending someone to the palace for help in time.

"I didn't let him go out, if the young grandmother wants to blame, blame the concubine." At this time, the second aunt, who frowned as soon as Mingyue came in, opened her mouth and said bitterly to Ji Yunyi: "Brother Yi, the left and right are between some women in the house who can't get on the table, you must not get involved." You are a person who does great things, and you must remember that the most important thing for you is to do things well in the court, and it is the right way to help your father well. ”

Ji Yunyi listened to the words of the second aunt, her face was extremely ugly, and she put the dishes and chopsticks in her hand on the dining table with a "snap".

Ji Yunlang also sighed, unwilling to see his aunt again.

When the second aunt saw that the two sons were so disobedient, but each of them was important to maintain Gui Mingyue, she couldn't help but feel sad, and cried, wiping her tears and crying: "When I gave birth to you, how much I suffered, and the Hou Ye was not around, the eldest lady never waited to see me, do you know how difficult it is for the aunt," wiped a handful of tears, and said: "I know that you complained that I later went to Zhuangzi to avoid trouble, but if I don't go to Zhuangzi, the eldest lady will definitely take my life......"

"In order to escape for yourself, you threw my two brothers in this Hou Mansion where you eat people and don't spit out bones? For the sake of your own life, you ignored Lang'er's young age and broke your legs? Ji Yunyi couldn't bear it anymore and roared.

The second aunt's tears flowed out even more when she heard this, looking at Ji Yunlang, who was still sitting in a wheelchair, and muttered: "It's my aunt who is not good, it's all my aunt's cowardice and timidity...... Lang'er, how are your legs? Turning his head and asking Xiang Gui Mingyue with a little reproach: "Didn't you say that your maid could cure Lang'er's leg?" How can it still be like this? ”

Gui Mingyue looked at Ji Yunlang's legs, which were still unable to stand although he was already conscious, and couldn't help but blame himself in his heart, and said, "Blame me for being incompetent, I haven't found the blood toad medicine that can cure Yunlang." ”

Ji Yunyi glanced impatiently at the second aunt who was still crying, and comforted: "Yue'er, don't worry, the people I sent out have also had news of the blood toad recently, and I believe that Yunlang will stand up again in the near future." ”

"Thank you, sister and big brother." Ji Yunlang said with a grin.

"It's called sister-in-law, what sister." Ji Yunyi corrected him again dissatisfiedly.

"I'll call my sister, if you're not happy, you can call me big brother." Ji Yunlang said triumphantly.

"What are you talking about, you bastard!" Ji Yunyi was angry and said, "Just call it, sister lady~" The voice was soft and glutinous.

Gui Mingyue couldn't help crying and laughing, stepped forward and grabbed Ji Yunyi's ears, and scolded with a smile: "This old man, do you want to be shameless?" ”

"Haha, big brother, my sister thinks you're old and ugly." Ji Yunlang laughed, the three of them laughed together, and the haze of the day was swept away.

The second aunt saw that they were talking and laughing, and her heart was even more uncomfortable, so she sighed leisurely, and was helped back to her yard by the maid who was waiting.

Ji Yunlang saw that she was far away, and retreated again.

Zhengse asked Xiang Gui Mingyue: "What can my sister judge today?" ”

Gui Mingyue shook her head and said, "I can't judge anything today, the reason why I acted like this today is just to observe their respective performances." And as far as I can see, most of them are involved in the theft! ”

Later, Gui Mingyue told them about their respective performances in detail.

Among the maids, the red luan who was hit by the board has the best appearance and a high heart, but he doesn't have many brains, and he still wants to climb the high branches, Gui Mingyue glanced at Ji Yunyi with a smile when he said this, Ji Yunyi hurriedly waved his hand and said: "This has nothing to do with me, which Hongluan is, I don't know, lady, you must believe that your husband is innocent!" ”

When Ji Yunlang heard this, he couldn't help laughing out loud, his eldest brother has a strong desire to survive.

As for the old Qingxiu who is in the same place as Hongluan, she is a scheming person, I heard that she was originally bought by the eldest lady at a high price and put around her to cultivate, so that she could be used to fill the house for the young masters.
