"So, let's talk to my grandmother about this matter, things always need to be investigated." He Hailan looked at Bi'er who was kneeling on the ground expressionlessly, "Although my monthly money is only twenty taels a month, it is two hundred and forty taels a year, and it is also thousands of taels of silver for so many years, even for the Hou Mansion, this is not a small amount." ”

After He Hailan finished speaking, she paused, and said in a deep voice, "Even if it is to clear the reputation of Bi'er and Mama Jianyue, it should be thoroughly investigated." ”

Seeing that He Hailan had already made up her mind, Zhen naturally didn't say anything more, she stood up worriedly, "Yes, we will go to your grandmother's yard now and talk to your grandmother about this matter." ”

He Qingfeng also took the opportunity to speak, "I am not suitable to participate in the affairs of the fifth sister's courtyard, so I will not accompany my mother and sister over, and go back to study first." ”

……

In Mrs. He's Cuihe Garden, the Cao family heard this, and the corners of her eyes twitched, why did she think that there were so many things about He Hailan now? The monthly money has been swallowed up for so many years, if you don't say it sooner or later, you have to say it now?

Besides, this month's money is not marked, where can she check?

She looked at Mrs. He expressionlessly, and said in a deep voice, "Old lady, my daughter-in-law thinks that the monthly money of this Linglong Pavilion must have been swallowed by the little girl who served the five girls, and now she was asked by the five girls, so she randomly pulled a person to pad her back, and this kind of girl should be distributed to Zhuangzi..." ”

"Miss! There really aren't slaves! Bi'er looked at her young lady in shock.

She knew that she wouldn't follow the young lady out...

Why did you go out and be sold to people?

It's not her money.

"Oh." He Hailan glanced at Bi'er expressionlessly, and just when everyone thought that she agreed to sell Bi'er, He Hailan suddenly raised her eyes to look at Cao's family and said with a smile, "It turns out that the eldest aunt is so assertive when she encounters this kind of thing, she thinks that whoever is is who, just drag people away?" ”

"This..."

Old Madam He's face sank, and she said coldly, "This matter is handed over..."

"Grandmother, in what year was my money taken away, then go and check if anything happened to Bi'er's house that year, and if you need the money urgently..."

"Said that she was in a hurry to use the money, and the slave maid remembered that Mama Jianyue suddenly borrowed money from several of our mothers-in-law five years ago, saying that her son had beaten people and needed money, but she was embarrassed to borrow from the second lady, and the slave and maid also borrowed ten taels of silver from Mama Jianyue at that time." Mama Qiulin, who had been standing behind Mrs. He, said suddenly after He Hailan's reminder.

Everyone looked at Qiu Lin, and He Hailan asked, "Who did Mama Jianyue borrow money from at that time?" ”

"Mama He beside the eldest lady, the slave maid, the princess in the kitchen, and the lady Liu in the laundry room."

Old Madam He's brows furrowed tightly, and she said in a deep voice, "Go and call those mothers-in-law over!" ”

After a while, all the mothers-in-law arrived in the courtyard, everyone didn't know what was going on, and there were expressions of uncertainty on their faces, Mrs. He glanced at He Hailan, who was standing on the side, and said in a deep voice, "Five girls, since it's your business, and the solution is also what you came up with, it's up to you to ask." ”

He Hailan responded, stood up and stood in front of a few people, her face was slightly cold, "A few grandmothers, Hailan has a few words I want to ask you." ”

"Five years ago, did Mama Moon Shear borrow money from you?"

A hint of dodging flashed in Mama He's eyes, and she hesitated to nod, but several others nodded, "Borrow." ”

The fatter Wang Pozi nodded, "At that time, the slave maid also borrowed twenty taels of savings for Mama Jianyue, if it wasn't for Mama Jianyue, the slave and maid would be reluctant." He smiled again, "But Mama Cutting Moon will pay it back soon." ”

He Hailan nodded and looked at Mama Liu, whose hands were rough, "What about you, Mama Liu?" ”

"The slave maid was originally unwilling, after all, the family also relied on my monthly salary to feed, but that day Mama Jianyue said that her son had an accident, it was life-saving money, and the slave and maid had pity, so they lent twenty taels to Mama Jianyue, and there was still private money that the slave and maid had saved for half a year."

Originally, I wanted to use it when I wanted to ask my son for a daughter-in-law.

"When did she pay you back?" He Hailan asked.

Mrs. Liu recalled for a while, and said, "It was repaid in the second month after borrowing my money, I was still curious, so I asked more, and Mama Jianyue said that her son worked on the dock and could earn some money a month, thinking that the slave maid was in a hurry to use the money, so I would pay back the slave's money first." ”

He Hailan nodded, glanced at Old Madam He, and blessed her body, "Grandmother, please ask someone to go to the dock to inquire if there is really such a thing." ”

Old Madam He: "Yunshang, let the housekeeper go to the dock to inquire." ”

He Hailan looked back at Mama He, who had been lowering her head and not speaking, "Mama He, what about you?" ”

Mama He was suddenly named, raised her eyes and looked at He Hailan suddenly, and shook her head for a while, "The old slave borrowed money from Mama Jianyue at that time, and she also repaid the slave's money, but I don't know when the slave and maid were there, and the old slave was not so short of money with Mrs. Shizi, so I didn't care." ”

He Hailan nodded, "That's it." ”

Mama He responded with a smile and lowered her head again.

He Hailan glanced at Mama He casually, raised her eyebrows, and looked back at Mrs. He, "Grandmother, I've finished asking." ”

Old Madam He nodded, "Then go and call Jianyue." ”

"Wait a minute." The corners of He Hailan's mouth hooked slightly, "Take the records of a few grandmothers and Clipping Moon Grandma leaving the house." ”

Cao Shi frowned and looked at He Hailan, "Are you even suspicious of other people?" ”

"I'd rather kill by mistake than let go, what's more, I just didn't let go of anyone who found out that they really took my money, and I didn't want their lives, didn't I?" He Hailan smiled and looked at Mrs. He again, "I don't know if grandmother thinks what her granddaughter said is right?" ”

Old Madam He looked at Qiu Lin, Qiu Lin pursed her lips and responded, "The slave maid thinks that Miss Fifth is right, after all, Miss Five's disappearance is not a small amount of money, so let's check the slave's first." ”

Anyway, she is not afraid of shadows, and now Miss Fifth is favored in front of the old lady, and it is also a good thing to be able to please Miss Five.

Qiu Lin is the old lady's celebrity, and her status in the mansion is also beyond looking for people, and she has more face than ordinary stewards, since she said so, others naturally didn't dare to say anything, and they all agreed.

After checking, the others, except for Mama He, who went out of the house to find the crown princess, no one else has ever left the house.

He Hailan smiled when she heard this, "In that case, let's go and search a few grandmothers' rooms, of course, Mama Jianyue can't let go, now we can ask Mama Jianyue to come over." ”

"Searching the room?" Cao Shi said in a deep voice, "Fifth girl, do you know what it means for you to do this? Means you don't believe all the mammas here! ”

"No, it means I'm going to pay them back." After He Hailan finished speaking, he no longer looked at Cao's family, and said in a deep voice, "Besides, this month's monthly money has just been issued, and others haven't left the house yet, so naturally they don't have time to transfer the money, didn't their monthly money be sent at the end of last month?" As far as I know, the maids and grandmothers in our house, in addition to going out to help the master bring money, on weekdays, they don't put money in the house, and their families will come to visit relatives after their salaries are paid every month, even if they keep a use, they can't keep a few silver in their hands. ”
