On the way back, Li asked Xu Shu why he was left behind, "Are you really fascinated by listening to the play?" Also, what's the matter with your clothes? Why did you change it all of a sudden? ”

Xu Shu glanced at Xu Ting, Xu Ting turned her back, not daring to look directly at Xu Shu, Xu Shu turned around and smiled at Li's coquettishness, "It's all my daughter's bad, my daughter bought a sugar man to hide in her clothes on the way here, but I didn't expect the house to be warm, the sugar man melted, and it stuck to the sleeve, so I had no choice but to change it!" ”

Li nodded, as if believing what Xu Shu said, "Go back quickly, see that it should snow this day!" ”

Just as he was about to get into the carriage, he suddenly rode a flying horse and stopped next to the carriage of the Xu family, and the person on horseback turned over and said to Li Shi breathlessly, "Old lady, please go home quickly!" ”

"What's wrong?" Li asked hurriedly.

The subordinate shook his head, "I don't know, it's the words of Miss Sufen!" ”

The Li family didn't care about that much, and hurriedly went back to the Xu family, and went straight to the Wang family's residence before he had time to change his clothes, and asked as soon as he entered the door, "Mother hurriedly called me back because something happened at home?" ”

Wang raised his eyes and glanced at Li, and raised his chin to the side, "This is Mrs. Han!" ”

There are so many people with the surname Han in Beijing, and the Li family saw that the Mrs. Han in front of him was very angry, and she had never seen it, so she had to call the other party with Wang's introduction, "Mrs. Han!" ”

Mrs. Han's face was not good, she turned a blind eye to Li's greeting, and even snorted coldly almost inaudibly.

Li Shi glanced at Wang Shi in puzzlement, and Wang Shi coughed lightly, "Old Zhang's family, take the things to the eldest lady and take a look!" ”

Mama Zhang immediately presented an object wrapped in a handkerchief to Li, Li took it and opened it and glanced at it, it was a sachet, Li felt a little familiar, but he couldn't remember where he had seen it for a while, and couldn't help frowning.

Mama Zhang reminded in a low voice, "The eldest lady turned over and took a look!" ”

Li obediently turned the sachet over, and the back of the sachet was embroidered with the word "Jie", which is Xu Jie's sachet, no wonder it feels familiar! Li's face suddenly turned as black as the bottom of a pot, and the sachet in his hand became like a hot potato.

"Madame knows this! Otherwise, I thought this thing came from some secret door! Mrs. Han raised her chin and said contemptuously.

This is the most unbearable secret prostitute in the Xu family's skin and meat business! Wang coughed heavily in dissatisfaction.

Mrs. Han restrained a little at this time, but she still spoke the same unpolitely, "Mrs. is really a good tutor, and the daughter she taught is different, she doesn't look at customs and etiquette in her eyes, she is so eclectic, my Han family can't afford it!" The implication is that even if this sachet is really Miss Xu's, his Han family will not be responsible for it.

Li Shi forcibly held back his shame and said, "I'm afraid there is some misunderstanding here, my Xu family's girl has never gone out of the door, how can my girl's things fall outside?" ”

Wang nodded and said, "The sixth girl has been with me all these days, and I don't think she can do this kind of thing with her temperament!" ”

Mrs. Han sneered, "I can't control the girl of the Xu family, I only know that this sachet fell from my son's body, my son said that it was given by the girl of the Xu family, and the expression of Mrs. Fang Cai clearly recognized that this was the girl of your Xu family, why don't you recognize it now?" ”

Li Shi patiently explained, "It's not that I don't recognize it, this thing is definitely not given to Han Gongzi by the daughter of my Xu family!" This sachet is not a valuable object, it can be accessed by the people who serve around it, maybe it was stolen by someone who is not long-sighted, and it fell into the hands of Han Gongzi! ”

"Exactly!" Wang continued, "The embroidery thread on this sachet has been worn out for a long time, it can be seen that this sachet has been used for some days, although my Xu family is not rich, but it will not let the children and grandchildren even afford a decent sachet, I think this sachet in the hand of Mrs. should be a six girls and give it to the maidservant casually!" ”

It is better for the maid to steal people than for the ladies to teach and accept them privately, and the united front of the Wang and Li families will push the matter to the next person.

Mrs. Han was not in a hurry, and took out a stack of paper from her arms, and unfolded it to see that it was a picture of a lady who had not had time to frame, "This was found in my son's study, and when I found this painting, I happened to have this sachet pressed on it, and I asked the two ladies to recognize whether the person on this painting is the lady of your mansion or the maidservant of your mansion!" ”

Li Shi only glanced at the portrait and turned his head, the person on the painting was Xu Jie! Her plan to push the matter to the next person didn't work.

The Wang family didn't expect it to be Xu Jie, looked at the Li family, and then looked at Mrs. Han, and felt ashamed and embarrassed, but she couldn't understand how Xu Jie, who came to greet her every day, looked extremely well-behaved, how could she do such a thing that embarrassed the Xu family.

Seeing this situation, Mrs. Han naturally understood, and said mockingly, "Yo, it seems that I haven't wronged people indiscriminately, there is no doubt that the person on this painting is the sixth lady of the house!" ”

"There's got to be something wrong here! Wait for me to call the six girls to ask! Wang forced his cheeks to call Xu Jie.

Su Ping went for a while, but it was Xu Shu who called, and the three people in the room were stunned, and Wang was surprised, "Why are you here?" What about your sixth sister? ”

Xu Shu first saluted the three of them before replying, "Su Ping went to find the sixth sister, the sixth sister heard what happened, shouted that she was wronged, and she didn't want to go with Su Ping, so she ran to my yard and begged me to tell the truth for her and return her innocence!" ”

"And what did she tell you?" Wang asked.

Xu Shu took out another sachet from her arms, "This is just taken from the sixth sister, please ask grandmother to compare one or two, can it be exactly the same!" ”

Wang gave the two sachets to Li, Li carefully compared, although the fabric pattern is different, but the stitch embroidery seems to be from the same person's hand, so he nodded, "It's the same!" ”

Xu Shu continued, "I see! Mother still remembers the fact that the sixth sister went to the temple to make a wish after she recovered from her illness a few days ago? ”

Li Shi was stunned for a moment and suddenly nodded again and again, "I remember, when she went out, I also asked her to help me donate fifty taels of silver sesame oil money!" How? What does this have to do with this sachet? ”

Xu Shu "looked" at Mrs. Han and sneered, "The sixth sister said that she was resting in the meditation room that day, and suddenly a man broke in from outside, she was startled, and she worked with the girl to drive the man out!" Because I was afraid that the elders would blame me, I didn't dare to tell my grandmother and mother when I came back, as for the sachet, the sixth sister said that it was an old thing, and I didn't pay attention to it after I found it lost. ”
