Chapter 17: Calculation

After Beichen Ye sat down, everyone looked up, Chu Ruoshan and Meng Tingyu were still accusing her on the side just now, and now they were all shocked by Beichen Ye's true face and forgot to speak.

"Moyu, what's going on?"

Beichen Ye spoke, his words were cold, but not harsh.

"Back to His Royal Highness, the maid Qinhui accused Mu Jiaren of stealing things from the palace and hid them in the room to take them away."

Qin Hui cried and lifted her sleeves, which were covered with blue and purple whip marks: "Miss Mu asked me to steal the things of the palace, and if you don't comply, you will beat and scold me." ”

The package opened, and inside was a solid gold incense burner and some silver ornaments.

Beichen Ye and Han Yunqian knew what was going on at a glance, with Mu Jiaren's martial arts, she would not use it to steal the incense burner, she came to the palace just for those few flavors of medicine.

"Mu Jiaren, how do you explain?" Beichen Ye wanted to see how she would deal with this.

Mu Jiaren looked at Qin Hui on the side: "I haven't beaten you, nor have I asked you to steal, but I don't know why you framed me like this, the person behind you is even more important than His Royal Highness." ”

Qin Hui looked at Mu Jiaren with teary eyes: "It's because I regard His Royal Highness the Prince as the master that I can't watch you take away the things in the palace!" ”

Mu Jiaren was very glad that she didn't trust Qin Hui in the morning, it turned out that she wanted to frame herself in this way.

"Since you said I let you steal it, well, what am I stealing these things for?"

Qin Hui knelt and kowtowed: "Your Highness, Miss Mu's family background is not as good as others, and she knows that it is difficult for her to stay, so she has evil thoughts and wants to take more silver taels to go." ”

Then she looked at Mu Jiaren: "You also said that you have already contacted the next family who sold it." ”

"These are all things from the palace, not to mention anything else, just look at this incense burner, the prince's fief is including the five cities here, who do you think can not see that it is the things of the palace?"

Many of the ornaments of the palace use the head of the white tiger, and the incense burner is used with tiger claws, which seems to be the totem of the palace.

Qin Hui didn't expect this, bit her lip and frowned and thought: "The person you are looking for is naturally not an ordinary person, maybe he doesn't know that this is from the palace, or you will melt it and sell it." ”

"People who don't know the goods won't pay high prices, pawnshops won't accept them, dignitaries and dignitaries won't accept them, the palace recruits maids is a matter of the past few days, how did I use such a short time to find a fool who doesn't know the goods within a radius of five cities?"

Mu Jiaren sighed, it was really insulting to frame her with such a clumsy method.

"You're going to melt it and sell it, or there's something else, I don't know."

Qin Hui immediately pleaded up.

"Melted? I take such good handicrafts to melt, even you will doubt it, not to mention those craftsmen, of course, I can also share half with the craftsmen, which is regarded as a hush money, but with the prestige of the prince and the prince, no one in this vicinity dares to do it, I ran away with the stolen things, and it will take at least ten days to completely leave the fiefdom, and the palace has lost so many objects, do you think the guards in the palace will not be able to catch up with me for ten days? ”

"This ...... That's what you asked me to steal, if I don't do it, you hit me, I don't know the rest. Qin Hui immediately pretended to be innocent.

"What did I hit you with?" Mu Jiaren asked.

"Naturally, it's a whip!"

Mu Jiaren looked at Mo Yu on the side: "Can you give me a whip?" ”

Mo Yu looked at Beichen Ye, Beichen Ye nodded in agreement, and Mo Yu took a pair of whips and handed it to Mu Jiaren.

Mu Jiaren looked at the incense burner in front of him, and with a wave of his hand, the incense burner was dented and sealed.

"If I do hit you, just once, your arm should be broken."

"Because...... Because you're afraid of being discovered, hit lightly. ”

"If I dare to hit you, why am I afraid of finding out? No matter how light you are, you will be seriously injured. ”

"Your Highness, the slave and maid have been wronged! The slave maid has been in the palace for so many years, and she has never had two hearts, and I hope that His Royal Highness will be clear! Qin Hui knelt on the ground and kowtowed repeatedly.

Situ Guangyao looked at the two of them with his cheeks raised: "In this way, Miss Mu really has no need to steal things, of course, the motives of the two only need to be carefully checked to know that the palace has been really lively recently." ”

Beichen Ye opened his mouth and said, "Amber, go check on the situation at Qin Hui's house." ”

"Yes."

Qin Hui trembled after hearing this, and did not dare to speak again.

"Don't bring people down yet." Han Yun spoke shallowly.

Mu Jiaren got up and exited the door, and Meng Tingyu looked at her with complicated eyes.

"Miss Mu hasn't cleared her suspicion yet, so she can't leave so soon." Chu Ruoshan stepped forward to stop her.

"Miss Chu is very good at making decisions." Beichen Ye suddenly appeared behind him, and all three of them immediately turned around and saluted.

Chu Ruoshan hurriedly explained: "The slave maid just thinks that Mu Jiaren is not as innocent as other young ladies, and His Royal Highness the Prince must not be deceived by her." ”

The corners of Beichen Ye's mouth raised slightly, but his smile was unusually cold: "Does Miss Chu think I'm really blind?" ”

Chu Ruoshan immediately knelt on the ground: "Your Highness forgive your sins, the slave didn't mean that, she was just worried about ......"

"Miss Chu go back and rest early, His Royal Highness will deal with the affairs of the palace." Han Yunqian saw Beichen Ye's displeasure, so he asked Chu Ruoshan to go down.

Mu Jiaren's matter Beichen Ye planned to deal with it personally, and anyone who preempted him would make him very disgusted.

The three of them walked forward, and Mu Jiaren prepared to go back to Qingfeng Garden to pack up their things.

"Why don't you go?" Beichen Ye turned to look at her.

"The slave will leave when she finishes packing."

"You're my maid, where are you going?"

Mu Jiaren suddenly raised her head after hearing this, when did she become a maid? And when was it left behind?

The others were also surprised when they heard it, and Meng Tingyu whispered: "Han Gongzi didn't read Miss Mu's name just now. ”

Han Yun glanced at her: "Mu Jia people live in Qingfeng Garden, do you still need me to pronounce their names?" Do you think anyone can live in Seifuen? ”

Beichen Ye raised his hand to Mu Jiaren: "Beauty, help me go back to the dormitory to rest, I'm tired today." ”

Mu Jiaren was stunned for a moment, stepped forward to hold Beichen Ye's arm, and walked slowly, leaving Meng Tingyu and the others standing in place dumbfounded.

Beichen Ye looked sideways slightly, he held Mu Jiaren's arm, remembering what she said before, she was the one he couldn't catch.

What does it mean to not be caught? Aren't you obediently following him now?

Situ Guangyao shook his fan all the way and looked at Mu Jiaren.

"Little girl, do you know who the person you are holding is?"

"His Royal Highness."

Mu Jiaren didn't dare to look up all the way, just looked at the ground, and when she arrived at Beichen Ye's residence, she also kept this posture and replied.

"Look up, there's no outsider here."

As soon as Situ Guangyao and Han Yunqian sat down, the little servant brought refreshments, and Beichen Ye leaned on the soft collapse, cushioning a handstool and closing his eyes to recuperate.

Mu Jiaren looked up at the three people in the room, Han Yunqian, as always, had an air of scheming, Situ Guangyao looked like an uncle who was not easy to mess with, and Beichen Ye was a pure beauty that had been quiet for years, and these three people together gave her the feeling that it was one, weird!

"The slave wants to know, why did you choose me to be a maid?"
