Chapter 244: Suspicion
Su Jinzhao drank the tea made from gardenias, and quietly listened to the maid Qingwen talk about the scene that happened today.
“…… That's probably the case, I didn't expect that Yubi would hide in the corner and eavesdrop while we were talking. ”
It's not a good thing to listen to people's corners, and Yubi's reputation in the mansion is bad enough. Maybe for her, it's not bad.
Jin Zhao put down the teacup and said slowly: "So that peach maid is unlucky enough."
said bad things about people behind his back, but unfortunately he was heard by the person concerned, and he was not the one who fell behind.
Qingwen pursed her lips and replied: "The slave maid thinks that Xiangtao and Yubi bully the people in the house on weekdays, so it's good for them to tear their faces."
The corners of Jin Zhao's mouth were slightly hooked, and he smiled shallowly: "It seems that you don't have a good impression of the two of them."
Qingwen nodded and replied without thinking about it: "The slaves and maids just can't get used to seeing them look like they are high on weekdays, and they are a little unhappy."
Jin Zhao shook his head when he heard this, pointed to Qiaoci on the side, and said, "Qiaoci didn't say anything, you are not happy, I don't know, I still think that there is a festival between you."
Qingwen said these angry words, but she was just fighting for Qiaoci, how could Jin Zhao not understand in his heart.
At this time, Qiao Ci opened her mouth: "The slave maid and Qingwen left, I heard that Yubi slapped Xiangtao."
Xiangtao, who has always been flattering and flattering to Yubi, is now talking about her behind her back, how could Yubi give up and swallow this breath. In her opinion, a slap was already considered light.
Hearing this, Jin Zhao thought for a moment before saying: "Yubi is just a maid, she can be so unruly in the house, I think there must be someone behind her to support her."
Qiao Ci's face was stunned for a moment, and he hesitated: "What do you mean...... The Three Princes? ”
After all, Yubi is the maid in the house, if there is really anyone to support her, except for the third prince, she can't think of anyone else.
Jin Zhao didn't think so, she shook her head: "Maybe it's not in the house."
When Qiao Ci heard this, her eyes lit up, and she suddenly remembered something, and said softly: "The slave maid heard that Yubi was originally a palace maid in the palace, and then she came to the house as a maid for some reason. Perhaps ......"
She didn't say anything further.
Jin Zhao didn't seem surprised, as if he knew it by heart.
Even if Qiaoci didn't say it, Jin Zhao knew what she wanted to say, it was nothing more than suspicion of the people in the palace.
If this is the case, Yu Wenyu's consideration and tolerance of Yubi will make sense.
Seeing that Jin Zhao didn't speak again, Qiao Ci naturally didn't squeak anymore.
After a while, Jin Zhao said out loud: "If there is really anyone, I will not watch her come nonsense and break the rules of the house."
Qiao Ci and Qingwen glanced at each other and nodded.
At night, Qiao Ci and Qingwen returned to the house, and Qiao Ci was going to put away the earrings, so that the other maids in the house would not come over to take a look through curiosity.
Qingwen said to her: "Actually, you don't have to, it's better to wear it out and let them see it, and let them understand that this is a reward from the master, it's best to cut off their thoughts, and some people in the province will beat your jewelry again."
Qiao Ci only felt that Qingwen was thinking about things too simply, so she said to her: "You and I are the eldest lady's maid in dowry, serving her for many years, and thinking of many years of loyalty, naturally I have more affection than other maids in the house." It's just that the better the eldest lady treats us, it will inevitably make others blush and jealous. If you wear the jewelry rewarded by the eldest lady again, it will inevitably be misunderstood that we are deliberately showing off, the last bracelet incident, it is already a profound reminder, I can no longer take this risk, on weekdays, we are better to keep a low profile, save others uncomfortable. After a pause, he said, "As long as we understand in our hearts that the eldest lady is good to us, this is enough, there is no need to take it out and say it, do you think this is the reason?" ”
Qingwen listened to Qiaoci's words and felt that it made some sense, so she didn't refute it.
"Maybe you're right, it's just a pity that you put away such a beautiful earring."
It was rare for Qingwen to agree with her words, and Qiao Ci smiled slightly: "The days are still long, there is always a chance to wear it out."
Afterwards, Qiao Ci went to the dressing table, and who knew that Qingwen, who was making the bed, was called over by Qiao Ci.
"Qingwen, the earrings that Miss gave me are missing." Qiao Ci said anxiously, "What do you say?" ”
When Qingwen heard this, she was a little surprised, and hurriedly asked, "Why is it gone, have you looked for it carefully?" As she spoke, her eyes fell on the dressing table behind Qiaoci, trying to help her find it.
Qiaoci turned the dressing table inside and out twice, but she didn't find it, so she was in a hurry.
Qingwen looked at Qiaoci with a anxious look, and comforted her: "If you think about it again, maybe you put it elsewhere and can't remember it for a while."
Qiao Ci shook her head and said, "No, I put it on the dressing table when I left, and I was busy going to the eldest lady's place, thinking about coming back in the evening to put it away." Who knows, but I can't find it, where do you think this good earring will go? Why can't I find it? ”
Qiao Ci firmly claimed that she didn't put it elsewhere, Qingwen thought about it, and suddenly a thought popped up in her mind: "Will someone steal it?" Actually, she wasn't sure, but things disappeared for no reason, which really made people suspicious, except for artificial reasons, things would not grow legs on their own.
Qiao Ci was inexplicably stunned by Qingwen's conjecture, and before she could react, Qingwen spoke again: "Could it be Yubi?"
"How could you be suspicious of her? Everything has to have evidence, and if you have wronged others, it will not be good. Qiao Ci still thinks it's unlikely.
Qingwen hesitated: "It's not that I want to suspect her, it's just that she is the most suspicious, Qiaoci, have you forgotten?" The last time the bracelet happened because of her, her reputation in the house was not very good, and she took a fancy to something, so she thought of a way to go. And we didn't lock the door when we went out, if anyone entered our house, it was not an easy thing, and the earrings that Miss gave you may have been stolen by her Yubi. ”
The more Qingwen said, the more certain she was that the thing was stolen by Yubi.
Seeing Qiaoci's hesitation, Qingwen pulled her and said, "Inevitably she hid her things, let's go to the eldest lady now, if it was really stolen by Yubi, the things might be in her house."
Saying that, Qiao Ci stopped her: "This matter, I always feel that something is not right, in case this matter has nothing to do with Yubi, it will not be good to alarm the eldest lady."
Qiaoci's worries were from Jin Zhao's point of view, and she didn't want to be disappointed and embarrass her master.
