At this time, the little girl in the courtyard came in and reported: "The third lady, the fourth girl, the eldest lady is here." ”

The people in the house hurriedly welcomed all of them out, and when Yang saw Liu's mother, his face froze.

Lu Lijin stepped forward and saluted and said, "It's really the nephew's sin, but there is no way to do it, please forgive the eldest lady." ”

The eldest lady glanced at Zhou's mother, who was tied up by the five flowers and knelt on the patio, patted Lu Lijin's hand and smiled very amiably:

"Good boy, if you say anything troublesome, it's okay. What the hell is going on? ”

The Yang family hurriedly put the eldest lady into the house first, and asked, "Why did Sister Liu come with her?" ”

The eldest lady turned her head to look at Mother Liu, and said with a smile:

"But it's just in time, Xiyue went to look for me, and I was in the Songhe Hall, telling the old lady what you said in the morning."

When Yang heard this, his face did not change, and he really regretted that he had known this, and in the morning she said that she would not have anything to do with the eldest lady King Tikang.

The old lady lived to this age, she was a serious old man, but she was not easy to fool.

Ning Xue stepped forward to salute everyone and said something in Lu Lijin's ear.

Lu Lijin confessed to the eldest lady and the Yang family, followed Ning Xue to the desk, and Hauni took the account book to Lu Lijin.

After taking the account book, Lu Lijin looked at the more bad her face became, and then pointed in a low voice, asking Hongni to transcribe it to a small notebook.

The Yang family couldn't hear what the master and servant were saying because they wanted to respond to the eldest lady, but just looking at Lu Lijin's expression, they could guess that there must be something wrong with the account.

And in the garden, Yang couldn't reach in even if he wanted to.

Then if something goes wrong at this time, it is not Mama Zhou, but Aunt Zhao. Or to the other mothers-in-law and mothers in the garden, in short, Aunt Zhao arranged them in.

Thinking of this, Yang became more and more heartfelt, and felt that framing Zhou's mother was a matter of killing two birds with one stone, although she acted hastily this time, she also did the right thing.

The eldest lady's mouth was not idle, and her semi-mocking tone showed that her mood was also very relaxed, and said:

"The old lady heard that there was a thief in our Pingyang Marquis's mansion, and she was angry for a long time, and she also beat me up. It's not that I don't take care of my house, let Sister Liu spy on me. ”

Yang smiled and said, "Look at what the eldest lady said, it looks like the real thing." In our house, who doesn't know, in front of the old lady, the first proud person is Yu Niang, if there is one more, it is not the eldest lady. ”

Talking and laughing, it was another cup of tea, snacks and fruits.

The eldest lady took a sip of tea, put down the teacup and said with a smile: "Okay, since you called me here, it's not for tea and food." What the hell is going on, who will tell me, where is the old lady, still waiting for a reply. ”

Lu Lijin was talking to Ning Xue, raised her head at this time, and said lightly: "My nephew also caught up later, and I don't know much about the situation at that time. Or Mrs. Lao San or a few mothers, who can say it. ”

Yang said to Wu's mother: "You say, make it clearer." ”

Wu's mother agreed "yes", and told the eldest lady the speech she had prepared early in the morning.

It was not yet the middle of the month, and all the silver she received from the account room of the Hou Mansion for the third room was put in the hugging building where she stayed when she was dealing with things in the third room on weekdays.

When she got up early, she was still there when she used the silver, and when Zhou's mother came to her and talked to her for a while, after leaving, it disappeared when she used it again, and at the same time, there was also the bracelet that the third lady asked her to re-smelt.

Then I searched for a morning in Yongyuan Park, but I didn't find it, and the only one who came to Yongyuan Park in the morning was Zhou's mother.

Wu's mother was very sad and said: "The old slave can't believe that Zhou's mother would do such a thing." When I searched it out, I looked at the girl in the garden. ”

As she spoke, Mother Wu handed the bag of silver and the gold phoenix bracelet to the eldest lady.

The eldest lady also said very sadly:

"We have been in the Hou Mansion for so many years, and we have never encountered such a thief, and we have raised a thief. There are a bunch of people in my mother's house and mother's house this week, Liu Ma's look, do you want to arrest them all first? Let's not say that these two families are all thieves, just one or two accomplices, I don't think they will be able to escape. ”

Mother Liu smiled and said: "The eldest lady is right, the eldest lady is here to interrogate, and the old slave will take people to lock up the two families, and then detain them first." ”

Yang felt that the matter was a bit big, and said with a smile: "It's better to try it first, and when she confesses who there is, it's not too late to arrest it." ”

Mother Liu saluted and said, "The third lady is wrong, this thief is the most cunning, what should I do if I saw Mother Zhou being arrested and ran away for a while?" Anyway, it's just subordinates, and the master just detained them by mistake, so how can they complain? ”

After speaking, Liu's mother hurriedly walked out.

Yang still wanted to speak, but the eldest lady had already stopped and said:

"Third lady, didn't I, the sister-in-law, say you, how many people are in charge of the third room? I want to be in charge of the entire Hou Mansion, and this reward and punishment must be clear, and things must be made clear so that I can serve the people. ”

Then without waiting for Yang to speak, Lu Lijin had already taken the things copied by Hauni, handed them to the eldest lady, and said indignantly:

"It's a shame that the third lady came to arrest her, otherwise the nephew's pair of gardens would have been emptied by Zhou's mother, and the niece wouldn't even know about it. The eldest lady has to make decisions for her niece and daughter, and this kind of thief must not let her go easily. ”

The eldest lady looked at the paper carefully, looked at Yang with a deep smile, and said, "Yo, this is really going to be a good trial." ”

Somehow, Yang suddenly had a bad premonition in his heart.

However, Yang's words were once again choked back into his stomach. There was a salute outside, and a little girl came in and reported, "The third master is here." ”

The eldest lady didn't move, and Aunt Yang and Lu Lijin Zhao greeted Lu Yan to the door and welcomed Lu Yan into the hall.

Lu Lijin and Aunt Zhao saluted Lu Yan, Lu Yan waved his hand and asked Yang: "Okay, what do you want to toss?" ”

Yang was angry, so he had to endure it, making a look of grievance, and said:

"Where is I going to toss, the third master came back, and he didn't ask the reason, in front of the eldest lady, he made me faceless."

The eldest lady smiled and said, "In this broad daylight, the third master is not staying in front, what is the purpose of going back to the backyard?" ”

Lu Yan saluted the eldest lady and said, "Let the eldest lady see the joke, Mother Zhou is the old man in the house, and the eldest lady said, she is the kind of person who steals?" ”

The eldest lady smiled and said:

"It's not me who is the sister-in-law who said it, the third master's words would be arbitrary, if I said it, this person knows the face and doesn't know the heart, and we didn't say that we were going to wronged her. Didn't the old lady ask me to come over just to interrogate her? If the third master is not at ease, he can just watch from the side. ”

Lu Lijin also stepped forward and pulled Lu Yan and said:

"Since my father is here, why don't you just watch here? The eldest lady's trial is the most fair. What else is there to worry about my father? ”
