"Sister, when did you see the maid in my yard going out?" Qingqian said.

Gu Qinglian looked at her maid and replied, "During the fourth watch, my sister's maid saw a maid running into my sister's yard. ”

Qing Qian's heart breathed a sigh of relief, and he was not so worried. When she asked Peony to go over the wall to steal aloe vera, it was just nightfall, and the two of them slept like dead pigs early on the fourth watch, since this was the case, Gu Qinglian didn't know that the aloe vera itself was taken by them, and the first one to search her yard probably had the meaning of framing her.

There is no clear evidence, and if it is said that it is framed, it will be exposed no matter what.

But the only thing she worried about was what if she was just trying to be the first to search her yard? So what's the good?

Qiu Feng, the maid beside Gu Qingyuan, saluted towards Gu Qingqian and said, "Eldest Miss, Third Miss is just quite anxious about losing the things given by the emperor, and she doesn't mean to suspect you." ”

Qingqian nodded, she could understand Gu Qingyuan's side, but Gu Qinglian seemed to have been targeting her intentionally or unintentionally.

Qingqian smiled slightly and said, "Miss Ben understands." ”

She understands a ghost, if she finds something to know that it was a gift from the concubine, she will not take that thing anyway, how can the things that are usually grown in every household in modern times become rare items in ancient times.

She pursed her lips and looked at Gu Qingqian and Gu Qingyuan who were standing on the other side, Gu Qingyuan obviously didn't talk much, and when she stood beside Gu Qinglian, she only occasionally whispered a few words to the maid next to her, and she didn't speak, and Gu Qinglian kept looking at the people searching the room with a smile.

Qingqian couldn't help but shudder, faintly feeling that this second sister was not so easy to bully, she really doubted whether Gu Qingqian had always bullied Gu Qinglian before.

"Miss." In the time she was in a daze, these maids had already searched the entire yard, leaving only the closet, Peony shouted softly, don't talk about her, Qing Qian only felt that something was blocked in her throat.

"Miss, I found it." At the last moment, a maid ran in from outside the door.

Peony was slightly stunned, and Qingqian finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Gu Qinglian was a little surprised, Gu Qingqian seemed to be a little nervous just now, how could she relax as soon as she found her?

Qing Qian didn't look at Gu Qinglian's expression, if it weren't for the presence of these maids, she would have touched her chest and said that she would find it.

The peony is even more strange, she hasn't opened the closet yet, is this girl a clairway eye? Can you see what's in the closet? The young lady looked even more relaxed.

Just feeling a little puzzled, the maid had already taken everyone out, and the maid's hand that was about to pull the closet was also put down, and she turned around and followed the maid out.

In the plum forest in the backyard, a large group of maids had formed a circle, and the peony helped Qingqian to take a look, and there was an aloe vera under a plum tree in between.

Qing Qian didn't say anything, squatted down and looked at the aloe vera on the ground, but before he could see it carefully, he had already heard the maid next to him chirping and began to discuss.

Peony's face was very ugly, for fear that she would leak out of her mouth, Qingqian didn't pay attention to what the maid said and looked at the aloe vera on the ground, the leaves were still quite full, obviously someone inserted it early in the morning.

Well, it seems that they want to frame them, but in fact, they stole this aloe vera, but this aloe vera came out of nowhere.

The reward of the concubine should not be given to just one person, but I don't have this thing anyway.

Gu Qinglian's brows furrowed slightly, pinched the handkerchief and said, "My sister really didn't expect that this jade oil onion would really be here with my sister...... Is the third sister going to call her father? ”

Gu Qingyuan's eyes met Qingqian's clear eyes, Qingqian didn't feel panicked, this was not what she took, what else was she afraid of?

"Okay." Gu Qingyuan nodded and said.

Immediately, there was a maid around her who quickly invited Master Gu, and she secretly thought about how to open her mouth, but she was afraid that Master Gu would hang her up and deal with her first without saying a word.

She touched her back, she couldn't stand it, and it was estimated that she would be able to change that Gu Qingqian back with two hits.

She is not so beautiful in the house now, only peony is standing next to her, and the maids next to her are hiding far away.

Peony was so angry that she stomped her feet, and the remaining little maids of Luomei Pavilion were also gloating and watching from the side, as if they had nothing to do with themselves, they had long forgotten that they were still the maids of Luomei Pavilion, and now they were probably trying to leave this broken yard early.

They didn't pay attention at all, at that time, Gu Qinglian said that there were maids in her yard, and she went to Dongyuan on the fourth watch.

Qing Qian naturally didn't care about them, looking at them like geese stretching their necks and looking at the crowd, they didn't know that it might be their turn one by one.

A quarter of an hour later, Master Gu brought the Wang family over.

The main house Zhou is grounded, and Gu Qinglian's poems and texts have impressed Master Gu recently, so he naturally took a fancy to the Wang family, and took her out to replace the position of the main house when dealing with things.

Gu Qinglian's face didn't show much excitement, but the corners of her mouth rose a little, everyone saluted, Master Gu nodded at Qinglian and Qingyuan, and then directly ignored Gu Qingqian.

The old man obviously has a bad impression of her now, and Qing Qian feels that he has almost become the public enemy of the whole house after coming for such a long time, and no matter who he meets, he has no good face for her.

Early in the morning, Master Gu already knew that at this time, another maid came over just now, and he must have already known that this jade oil onion was in her yard.

Qing Qian heard a maid whispering behind her: "The lord doesn't like the young lady's unruly behavior the most, the eldest lady has committed two consecutive crimes, I don't know if it will be dealt with by family law again." ”

"Who knows, I heard that there was a young lady from the Zhenguo family who was kicked out directly because she annoyed the Hou Ye."

"I'm afraid that even Madame can't keep the eldest lady now."

Peony's eyes were red, and if it weren't for the way she was now, she would have scolded these little hooves that were chewing the root of her tongue.

Old Master Gu pondered for a while before asking, "Did the things that the noble concubine Niangniang rewarded you find here in Qingqian?" ”

Gu Qingyuan replied softly: "Back to my father, I found it in my sister's backyard. ”

Gu Qinglian continued: "The third sister is not easy to say, or Qinglian helped the third sister to say, this jade oil onion was indeed found in the sister's yard, but the younger sister felt that it was not necessarily taken by the sister, why should the sister steal the third sister's jade oil onion when she has nothing to do?" Besides, this is just a jade oil onion, why bother to fight, although it is a royal gift, but if my sister says that we will be my sister, we will not give it. ”

Is it? What does Gu Qinglian mean by this? Do you mean to help her clear her of suspicion? Or do you want to blame yourself for the maid in your yard who did something wrong?

Or do you want to say that she has been bullying her sisters, and as soon as she says that the two of them are not good sisters, they don't give it to them?

Gu Qingyuan's brows furrowed, but he still nodded under Master Gu's gaze.

Only then did Master Gu turn his gaze to Qing Qian: "Is this the case?" ”

"The second sister is really generous," Qingqian dragged the peony's hand, "In that case, do you want your yard for you?" ”

"Back to my father," Qing Qian turned his head to look at Master Gu and said, "The first half of the second sister's sentence is not wrong, this jade oil onion was found in my yard, but it was Qing Qian who ordered Peony to go to the third sister's maid to get it, and it was not this one in this yard!" ”

Her words were silent, but everyone present heard them clearly, and Gu Qinglian's side immediately turned back to her senses and said in a weird manner: "Eldest Lady, is there something you want to play?" What do you want to do now that everyone has stolen goods? ”

Gu Qinglian frowned and said, "The maid next to my sister is a little straighter, don't be surprised by my sister, it's just that what you said makes people really a little incomprehensible." ”

Peony's temper was committed again, and she was about to speak, Qinglian had already pressed her head down, she was very clear-headed, if Peony blocked the past with such empty words, I am afraid that the two of them will really be driven out of the Gu Mansion, and it will also affect the Zhou family. Gu Qingqian and Peony, the master and servant, have not had any major incidents for so many years, and it is really a miracle.

Old Master Gu's gaze was already cold, and he said, "Then do you have anything else to say?" ”

Qingqian didn't have time to speak, Gu Qinglian had already said: "Sister, quickly admit your mistake to your father, otherwise your father will use family law against you again, how can your body support it." ”

I have to say that the second lady is quite artistic in speaking, if she wasn't at the center of this matter now, otherwise she would have wanted to give Gu Qinglian a thumbs up, and she would have almost crushed her to death with a single sentence.

Qing Qian ignored it and said directly: "Peony, open the closet in the room and take out the things." ”

"Miss." Peony was obviously stupid, Miss is crazy, there is already one here, and she still wants to take out the one in the closet?

Isn't that really hard to argue?

If she had known this, she should have told Madame first! But her master's eyes seemed to tell her that she was fine.

She gritted her teeth, followed her back, and it didn't take long to take out the aloe vera that had been hidden in the closet in the morning.

Gu Qinglian's pupils dilated slightly, and her face had changed: "Sister, ...... you are?"

Qing Qian sneered in his heart, turned his head to look at Gu Qingyuan, who had been standing on the side and had not spoken, and said, "The third sister should only have one plant missing." ”

Gu Qingyuan nodded.

Qing Qian sneered and said, "Then I want to ask why another one appeared in my yard." ”

Gu Qinglian didn't speak, and Qing Qian didn't toss with her, but looked at Master Gu and said: "Father, Qing Qian is also forced to do so, the gold sore medicine given by my mother yesterday has been used up, I originally wanted to go to my mother to ask for some more, and entrust it to the two grandmothers at the door, but the remaining maids in the yard except for the peony work, so the two grandmothers were busy until late before resting, and Qingqian naturally couldn't force them to go to their mother's place again." Before, Qing Qian saw in the book that the jade oil onion raised by the third sister just had the effect of promoting wound healing, so I had no choice but to ask the peony medicine to help me get it, and Qing Qian didn't know that it was sent by the concubine! ”
