Chapter 83: Guarding and Stealing

The old mama's words made everyone immediately turn their attention to Mama Lan, who was standing beside Xiahou Ying.

"Sir! The old slave has been wronged! Mama Lan hurriedly knelt on the ground and kowtowed to Lu Liangju again and again.

Lu Liangju saw Mama Lan like this, but he didn't pay attention to it, but continued to ask the old mama who was looking at the house, "You saw her come out of the house with a bag of things, have you asked?" ”

"The old slave asked, and she said that she bought the medicine for the eldest lady." The old lady replied calmly.

"What do you say?" Lu Liangju looked coldly at Mama Lan who was kneeling on the ground and asked.

"Master, the old slave really didn't steal the lady's silver, yesterday the old slave ordered the old slave to buy medicine, and the old slave also bought a little medicine for the eldest lady to strengthen the spleen and stomach. When he came back, the old slave came to deliver medicine to his wife, but the lady was not in the room at the time, so the old slave put down the medicine and came out. Mama Lan explained to herself anxiously.

"Master, Mama Lan is right, yesterday the concubine did order her to buy some codonopsis, wanting to make ginseng tea for the master and Chang'er. Later, when I came back, I did see the ginseng pieces I bought on the table. Shen Huizhen explained softly on the side.

"Now the most suspicious is her, do you believe her?" Lu Liang raised his eyebrows and asked Shen Huizhen.

Shen Huizhen nodded, "Mama Lan has been serving in the mansion for almost twenty years, and she has been conscientious and diligent, and the concubine believes that she is not a prisoner and a thief." ”

"She's not a self-thief, so what if she's instructed to do so?" Lu Wanqing, who was on the side, retorted disappretently. After speaking, he didn't forget to glance at Xiahou Ying on the side.

"Qing'er! This kind of nonsense is not to be said! Shen Huizhen pulled Lu Wanqing to her side and "reprimanded".

"Anyone who has nothing to do with it goes down!" Lu Liangju looked at it calmly and waved his hand at the people gathered around.

After everyone left, Lu Liangju sat down with a displeased face and said to Lu Wanqing, "You just hinted at your sister for instigating your subordinates to steal, do you have any evidence?" ”

Lu Wanqing glanced at Xiahou Ying and replied, "Evidence, my daughter really doesn't have it." However, can't you see the recent changes in my sister's body? Lu Wanqing said loudly.

"Change?" Lu Liangju frowned and looked at his eldest daughter, but he couldn't see the reason.

"My sister is wearing very different clothes now, not only the clothes are of the best silk, but the pearls on her head are also very valuable. She will have twenty taels of pearl hairpins today, and this pair of oily jade earrings will cost at least ten taels! Where did she get all this money? Lu Wanqing pointed at Xiahou Ying angrily.

"These ...... Aren't they all given to Xin'er by the old lady of the Xiahou family? Lu Liangju looked at Xiahou Ying in confusion, with a hint of exploration in his eyes.

"Even if Mrs. Xiahou loves her sister no matter how much she loves her, she can't send things every day, but her sister's clothes and jewelry haven't been the same these days!" Lu Wanqing looked at Xiahou Ying and said disdainfully.

"Father, these are indeed given to her daughter by the old lady of the Xiahou family." Xiahou Ying said softly, "It's just that these are all old things that Miss Xiahou used before her death, Xin'er was afraid that her mother and sister would have taboos, so she didn't transfer them, because her daughter didn't think about it." ”

Hearing Xiahou Ying turn around and say that she was jealous, Lu Wanqing couldn't help but be angry, but was stopped by Shen Huizhen.

"Master, it seems that it is indeed just a misunderstanding, Xin'er wants to use the money to tell me directly, where is the need to send someone to steal it!" Shen Huizhen smiled dryly.

"Master, madam, the slave has something important to say!" Outside the door, a voice suddenly came.
