Lu Caiqing and Song Ziyu followed Uncle He to the main hall of the courtyard in full view of everyone, He Bo sat majestically on the top position, Lu Caiqing saw it, and walked straight to the chair on the left hand side to sit down. Song Ziyu stood next to her, thinking that in case of a conflict, he could protect her as soon as possible.

Xinlan came in and led a group of subordinates to stand opposite her, watching her sit there without any scruples and shouting, "Hey! Slut, why are you sitting there, you are a thief now, and you will be punished for stealing. ”

Lu Caiqing listened, raised his eyes and looked at her and said, "Oh? You guess your days in this Lin Mansion are not short! Didn't the Lin Mansion teach you the rules, a slut, don't forget that I am a guest invited by your young master. ”

"What kind of guest are you, you yourself misbehave, a wild girl in the countryside, how can you have any qualifications to teach me that I have no rules, don't forget who is the thief who should be tried now."

"Hmm!" Lu Caiqing nodded and said, "Then what do you say I stole from?" ”

"...... you?" Xinlan was choked by her indifferent appearance, and didn't quarrel with her, so she turned around and said respectfully: "What a housekeeper!" This woman has sharp teeth and a sharp mouth, I don't fight with her, she is a thief, you have to call the shots for Xinlan! ”

He Bo squinted at Xinlan, he still knows what kind of character this girl has, but this Lu Caiqing couple has no grievances with her, how could she offend this girl, although she has no background, but the old lady in the house still likes her clever mouth very much, and every time she sends fresh vegetables to the house, she will reward some gadgets.

The old lady had inadvertently mentioned that she would give her to the little young master to be a child, but the little young master had no idea about her, but this girl was arrogant, after all, she was a red person in the eyes of the old lady, and today it is estimated that eighty percent of this matter has something to do with the little young master.

Although he is a housekeeper, but the matter is related to the little master, it is better to ask clearly, as for how to punish it, it is not his turn to decide, so he gave Xinlan a step and said: "Then you can tell me what is going on?" ”

As soon as Xinlan saw that Uncle He gave her the opportunity to explain first, she thought that this old man was still quite knowledgeable, shook her clothes and became more proud: "Steward He! That's the case, when they came yesterday, I overheard them envy our Lin Mansion, saying that it is good to be rich, and if they have money to buy a big house like our Lin Mansion in the future, I will treat them as if they have never seen the world and do not care. ”

Lu Caiqing nodded when she heard this, it is true that they came to say so yesterday, she did not add oil and vinegar. It turns out that the descendants of this big family still have the habit of listening to the corner.

"Look! She also admitted to herself, I didn't lie, but when I asked them to dinner, I still remember that the jade hairpin that my grandmother gave me was still on my head, and it disappeared in the blink of an eye, I suspected that this woman picked it up, I wanted to go back, but I didn't see her, I went to ask this morning, and she said she didn't see it. ”

"You talk nonsense! You asked us to come to the dining hall early this morning, and you asked us if we saw what you had lost. Song Ziyu said angrily.

Xinlan pretended to be scared and dodged into the crowd: "Look at it! I knew you were going to bully, I was timid but I had a conscience, I did ask you, you can't talk nonsense with your eyes open. But how dare I lose my grandmother's things, so I dared to search your room, and sure enough, the stolen goods were found. ”

After listening to her, Uncle He moved his eyes to Lu Caiqing and said, "Girl! What can you explain? ”

When Lu Caiqing saw the roll call, he opened his mouth and said: "Then I'm really stupid as a thief, I don't hide it, I put everything in my baggage, it's really bold." ”

"Listen! She herself admitted that she had stolen. Xinlan jumped to her feet and happily pointed at Lu Caiqing and shouted at everyone.

When Lu Caiqing saw it, he said: "Miss Xinlan sees that I am a thief, and she seems to be very happy to beat me, can we have an enmity?" Look at your gloating appearance, people who don't know think that we have a common hatred! ”

Lu Caiqing mocked her unhurriedly, Xinlan still wanted to quibble a few words, so she heard Lu Caiqing say again: "This stealing will have to be lost, I don't know if Uncle He has lost money in this house?" How much have you lost? This only means that someone stole the money if the house loses it, and if it is not lost, it means that the silver is my own. ”

"Humph! A pair of hillbillies, how can there be so much silver, it must be a male and female thief, and you will find out the truth and see how you deny it. Xinlan sarcastically said to her with disdainful eyes.

At this time, Uncle He hurriedly ordered someone to count his belongings to see if there was any loss, and after a while, he ran back and said in front of everyone: "Steward He!" There was a lot of gold and silver in the house. ”

Xinlan was stunned when she heard this, could it be that these two poor sours really had a huge amount of money, how could they be, they were dressed so shabby, how could they have money.

"It's impossible, with their shabby appearance, maybe they were deceived and stolen from somewhere else......!" Xinlan muttered.

"Shut up! You are not allowed to slander guests like this, now this money is in other people's baggage, that is other people's property, you are not allowed to talk nonsense. He Bo couldn't listen to it anymore, he probably had a number in his heart, he had lived for decades, and he was still very accurate in seeing people, and a girl was a little annoyed that she was causing trouble under her hands.

"No, no...... What a housekeeper! Even if this money has nothing to do with our Lin Mansion, how can this jade hairpin be explained? This is indeed what I found with Wang Ma, and Wang Ma testified. Xinlan pulled an elderly woman over, pushed her and said, "Wang Ma! Tell me if it's the room we searched together just now. ”

The princess was pushed to the middle, and she raised her eyes to look at Lu Caiqing, and then looked at Steward He before she said: "It was in the morning that Miss Xinlan and I went to the room of the two of us, and found the jade hairpin rewarded by the old grandmother in the baggage, I really saw it with my own eyes." ”

"Girl! What do you say? He Bo left the problem to Lu Caiqing to solve by himself.

Lu Caiqing looked at Uncle He's cunning appearance, and said angrily in his heart, this old man is really cunning, the matter is already clear, but he doesn't prove his innocence, but he throws the problem to himself, forget it, for the sake of his age, solve it by himself.

"Miss Xinlan keeps saying that she lost the jade hairpin, but who knows? You lost it after we had dinner last night, but I forgot to remind you that we didn't go back to the room after dinner, but went to the vegetable garden! Those behind you can testify to us! Lu Caiqing slowly pulled out a lot of witnesses.

Xinlan was a little anxious, and found a reason for her: "You didn't go back to the room after eating, maybe you brought it back when you were sleeping?" Anyway, in your bag, you stole it. ”
