Chapter 8: Catching the Thief (Part II)
The maid who was called the begonia saluted, "The third lady guessed right, the eldest lady has the habit of drinking soup, and yesterday's kitchen cooked osmanthus lotus seed soup for the eldest lady, which is not only in season, but also has the effect of clearing heat and removing fire." During that time, slaves and maids shuttled between the back kitchen and the side room, and the servants in the back kitchen could testify. ”
Hearing this, Jiang Jingshu nodded, indicating that she understood, and was about to pace to the peony, but she heard the maid in the east wing complain.
"Sister Haitang said that it was like this, but the third lady also said that more than three people need to prove to each other, but there are no witnesses for her present, this is ......"
Jiang Jingshu's eyes swept away, and the maids were suddenly silenced.
The eldest sister has always been not in good health, and for so many years, Begonia has done her best to take care of the eldest sister, and this is worthy of everyone's respect. What's more, Begonia is home-owned, and her loyalty can be seen, and she suspects that no one will suspect Begonia.
Came to Peony, Peony's eyes were a little dodgy, Jiang Jingshu frowned, and was about to ask carefully, when suddenly there was a sound of footsteps outside, and the little maid walked in with a person dressed as a servant.
"The eldest lady, this is a servant of the East Palace, and he brought a message from His Royal Highness the Crown Prince to the third lady."
"Please!" Ji Shuhua took a few steps forward.
As soon as Jiang Jingshu heard the word "prince", she was angry, her brows furrowed even tighter, and she was in a hurry to be urged by her mother, so she had to temporarily put down the interrogation, stepped forward, and stood with Ji Shuhua.
The servant saw Jiang Jingshu and saluted, "Third Miss, Your Highness sent a villain this time to ask Third Miss if she opened His Highness's gift?" ”
Jiang Jingshu pursed her lips in her heart.
Specially sent someone to come just to ask such a boring thing? The prince is so idle.
But she replied very politely: "It hasn't been demolished yet." A few gifts were missing, and I was interrogating the maids. Dare to ask what kind of gift His Highness gave? ”
"It's a pen holder made of bloodstone. His Royal Highness said that he was able to meet the third lady again, thanks to the ink and inkstone. ”
"Your Highness really has a heart, thank you for your good life for me, it's a pity...... The few pieces that are missing in the gift are just that. ”
"What?! Who is so bold as to steal a gift from His Highness? The attendant was a little angry, "When I report to His Highness truthfully, I will punish this thief severely!" ”
Jiang Jingshu's gaze fell on Peony, and Peony's body trembled.
Retracting her gaze, Jiang Jingshu smiled and said: "Don't worry, I'm also asking them, if there is a result, I will definitely find the gift and treasure it well, and he will personally apologize to His Highness one day." ”
At that time, in the East Palace, Zou Chen was reclining on the couch and drinking tea leisurely.
Listen to the words in the attendant's report, 'He will personally make amends to His Highness one day.' I couldn't help but sneer, my eyes full of mockery, "Oh? It's not like what she said. ”
