Lu Liangju and the others walked to the bedside where the person was, and sure enough, they saw that under the mattress, there was a small hidden compartment with a lock.

"Open." Lu Liangju said coldly to Xiahou Ying.

Xiahou Ying bit her lower lip and hesitated for a moment before taking out the key from the purse on her waist.

When Shen Huizhen and Lu Wanqing saw this dark grid, they were immediately overjoyed, and they were only waiting for "people to get the stolen goods", but they didn't notice Dongmei standing behind everyone, and she couldn't stop frowning at this time.

The dark grid opened, and a red cloth appeared in front of him, Lu Liangju stepped forward and tore open the red cloth, and saw a full of silver ingots.

"What's going on?" Lu Liangju frowned and looked at Xiahou Ying.

Seeing so much silver, Shen Huizhen was happy at first, but then she was shocked, and secretly said that it was not good in her heart.

"These are all given by Mrs. Xiahou." Xiahou Ying replied in a low voice, "The old lady said that there are no more places in the academy than at home where money is needed, so he sent someone to send a lot of silver taels. The daughter didn't want to accept it, but in the end, it was the old man's intention, and it was difficult to refuse, so she had to put it away for the time being. Xia Houying replied in a low voice.

"Xin'er, ......." Lu Liangju pondered for a long time, and couldn't help but say to Xiahou Ying, "Although the old lady of Xiahou loves you, she ......"

"Father's meaning, Xin'er understands." Xiahou Ying looked at Lu Liangju with a serious face, "Recently, the old lady has indeed given a lot of things to her daughter, just looking at the furnishings of this house. The daughter originally didn't want to accept these things, but first, she didn't want to hurt the old lady's heart, and secondly, most of these things were old things used by Miss Xiahou during her lifetime. ”

Lu Liangju listened to Xiahou Ying's explanation, nodded, and looked at his daughter with a much softer expression.

However, although my daughter accepted such things as money, she did not touch a single thing. Originally, I wanted to wait for me to go to the academy and hand over the money to my mother for safekeeping, but I didn't want to cause this misunderstanding. Xiahou Ying frowned slightly, and her eyes showed a little grievance.

"Ha, sir, it seems that we are really mistaken. I said, Xin'er is a good boy, how can she steal silver? Shen Huizhen smiled dryly and said to Lu Liang.

"Master, the maid has something to say!" At this moment, Xue'er suddenly knelt on the ground and said while shedding tears.

"What are you going to do?" Shen Huizhen's eyes were cold, and she said coldly.

"Mrs. just said that Dongmei served Miss wholeheartedly, but it was fake at all!" Xue'er pointed at Dongmei and said loudly, "Since she became Miss's eldest maid, she has been lazy in everything, and has never kept a night guard for Miss, because Miss is soft, she still dares to show Miss Miss's face, and the most hateful thing is that her hands and feet are not clean, and she often steals Miss's things!" ”

"You talk nonsense!" Dongmei rushed towards Xue'er like crazy, but was pulled back by the people on the side.

"Is everything she said true?" Lu Liang frowned and looked at Xiahou Ying, he really couldn't imagine that there would be such a vicious slave by his daughter's side.

Xiahou Ying glanced at Shen Huizhen without a trace, and said in a low voice, "Dongmei was sent by her mother to her daughter after all, and everything she does is fine......

Listening to Xiahou Ying's words, Lu Liangju immediately looked angrily at Shen Huizhen beside him, such a wicked slave was actually sent by his wife, could it be that his wife took care of her daughter like this on weekdays?

Shen Huizhen was panicked by Lu Liangju, and hurriedly said, "Old man, master, it's all because the concubine is not in good health, the concubine was originally to watch Dongmei work quickly, and she is careful, so she will be sent to Xin'er!" ”
