When Yu Ziqi and Ning Qian were talking, Nianyu had already gone to the dresser to open the brocade box and rummage through the jade pendant. How did she know that she hadn't seen it after looking for a long time, and when she turned around, she said in surprise: "Madam, is the jade pendant in this brocade box?" ”

"Yes, I took it off that day and put it in that brocade box, how could I not have it? Look carefully. ”

Nianyu rummaged again, but still couldn't find it, "Madam, it's gone." I've poured out all the contents of the brocade box and rummaged through it, ma'am, are you mistaken? ”

"How so? Look for the other brocade boxes. ”

Nianyu searched all the brocade boxes on the dresser, but still couldn't find the jade pendant. She didn't give up, and she almost rummaged through the entire room, but she still didn't find it, "Madam, it's gone, the jade pendant is gone." ”

Ning Qian frowned and sat up stiffly, "How is it possible?" I remember that it was in that brocade box, how could it be gone? ”

"Madam, was it stolen?"

"No way, only you and Shanny can come in my room. Who else but you can come in? Then you will never take it, this thing is really strange. ”

"Madame said the same, it is true that no one but us can enter this room."

"Huh? That's not right. Ning Qian suddenly shouted in surprise, "I remember, today I called Yuzhi to get money in the brocade box, could it be her?" ”

"Nianyu, go and call Yuzhi in." Yu Ziqi Road.

Nian Yu glanced at Yu Ziqi and then at Ning Qian, and finally nodded and walked out. After a while, she walked in with Yuzhi, "Young master, madam, Yuzhi has already come." ”

Yu Ziqi snorted coldly, "Yuzhi, do you know the rules of my yard?" If anyone dares to have unclean hands and feet, I will never spare him easily. You are also an old man in Yufu, you should know this rule, right? ”

"Young master, the slave understands. It's just that the slave doesn't quite understand what you mean, young master. ”

"You don't understand? Did the lady tell you to go to the brocade box over there and get a brocade bag? ”

"Yes, this morning my wife was not feeling well, so she told me to go to the brocade box and get a brocade bag, which contained five taels of silver. Master, what happened? ”

"Madame's jade pendant was placed in the brocade box, but when I just looked for it, I found that it was missing."

Yu Zhi knelt down in a panic, "Young master, I never took it, how dare I steal something in front of my wife?" Slaves and maids would never dare to steal. ”

"Hmph, who else would you have? In this room, except for Nianyu and Shuni, you are the only one who has ever entered. Nianyu and Shuni were brought by Madame from her mother's house, they will never steal, you say, who else will it be? ”

"Young master, I really didn't take it, I don't believe you can ask someone to search my room."

"Okay, Nianyu, you and Shuni will accompany Yuzhi to her room."

"Yes, young master."

Nianyu walked out with Yuzhi, and the two waited for the result to come. After about a stick of incense, Nianyu walked in with Yuzhi, "Madam, as expected, we found the jade pendant in Yuzhi's room. ”

Yuzhi was already stunned, she couldn't understand how the jade pendant could run to her room. But there was no time for her to be stunned now, she knew exactly what would happen if she was caught stealing. She ran over and knelt in front of Yu Ziqi, stretched out her hand and grabbed the corner of his clothes, "Young master, I really didn't steal, I ······"

Yu Ziqi raised his hand and pushed her away, "Now that the evidence is conclusive, what else do you have to say?" I must not allow my yard to have people with unclean hands and feet. Nianyu, take her out and hand her over to the lady in charge, and she will naturally deal with it. Anyway, I don't want to see her again in the yard. ”

Yuzhi couldn't cry anymore, she knelt on the ground, and she was so distracted that she didn't react at all. Nianyu and Shuni helped them up and walked out.

When the room calmed down, Yu Ziqi smiled: "Okay, don't pretend, get up." ”

Ning Qian threw away the cloth towel on her forehead and sat up, "Hehe, you are still smart, you know at a glance that I am pretending." Master, you said that you would be my backing, and I did this just to avoid troubles in the future. You don't blame me, do you? ”

"No, you just let it go, you really can't solve it and tell me."

"Master, don't worry, I can definitely deal with the three of them safely. By the way, master, if they leave, there may not be enough people in the yard, I don't know if you can find someone you can trust. ”

Yu Ziqi pondered a little and said, "This matter is in a hurry, let Shuni and Nianyu keep the two of them busy for the time being." I'll look for someone to do. Since you're sick today, then you have a good rest, I still have something to do, and I'm going out about to eat something, so don't get up. ”

Ning Qianle was lazy and lay down again, she smiled and narrowed her eyes. I didn't expect to drive away a person so easily. It's just that the eldest lady should be very angry if she finds out, right?

In the afternoon of the same day, the housekeeper's wife came to the courtyard to find Ning Qian. But she refused to meet her on the grounds that she was uncomfortable, and just asked Nianyu to greet her. The result made Ning Qian very satisfied, Yu Zhi had been arranged in other courtyards, and now there were only two left in the courtyard. As long as those two more women are dealt with, she will have far fewer troubles. Just thinking about it makes her laugh in her dreams.

Ning Qian was right, the day after what happened, not long after eating in the morning, the eldest lady came with someone. As soon as he entered the room, he shouted: "Third brother and sister, I heard that you are sick, how are you?" Better, isn't it? ”

How could she be bad? She was already not sick, and with a smile, Ning Qian greeted her, "Sister-in-law, thank you so much." It's just that I caught a cold yesterday, so it's no big deal. When they spoke, Nianyu had already prepared refreshments, "Sister-in-law, this is a high-grade cloud tea, can it taste right?" ”

The eldest lady smiled and nodded, took a sip of the teacup, and said with a smile: "It's really good tea, third brother and sister, it's good that you have nothing to do, by the way, third brother and sister, I heard that there was a theft in your yard yesterday?" ”

"yes, I didn't expect such a burglary in my yard. The master was very angry, and he had already handed over the incident to the housekeeper to deal with. ”

The eldest lady's eyebrows flashed, "It turned out that the third master handled it, that girl is really stupid and dull as a pig, how can she do such a theft." Speaking of which, I still have to say sorry to you to the third brother and sister. I also helped to see the maid who gave you this room, but I didn't expect me to be dazzled this time. ”
