Chapter Twenty-Three: Catching the Thief
Lu Xueling suffered a dumb loss, and quickly retreated, secretly feeling a trace of unwillingness in her heart.
Lu Xueyi looked at Lu Xueling's careful thoughts in her eyes, and couldn't help but feel funny.
"Ling'er, mother is in a bad mood, don't bother her, let me tell you, it's not that my mother lost something, in fact, I lost something, and my mother is helping me find it."
Lu Xueling's heart was relieved when she heard this, it didn't seem to be a big deal, so she didn't have to worry.
"Then may I ask my sister if she lost anything valuable? Ling'er might be able to follow and find it. ”
Lu Xueyi retracted her gaze, held the tea bowl and drank the tea, looking leisurely, but she didn't speak anymore.
Lu Xueling was about to open her mouth to ask, but Aunt Xia glanced at her, and she stopped talking in time, no longer boring herself.
Anyway, it's just a loss of something, it's not a big deal, she just watches the excitement from the sidelines.
After a morning of looking for the big family, Lu Xueling and Aunt Xia were bored and wanted to leave for a long time, seeing that the Liu family was here, but it was not good to go first, so they had to follow all the way.
Liu's face was extremely bad, because he had been looking for so long, and he had made such a big fuss but he hadn't found out the thing.
"Mother, the next one is the yard of the second sister, do you want to continue to investigate?" Lu Xueyi got up at the right time and asked hesitantly.
"Check!" Liu Shi was ruthless.
And Lu Xueling on the side shook inexplicably, what's going on? Why do you have to find out in your own yard?
But at this time, she couldn't afford to refuse, so she had to stare at Lu Xueyi secretly.
Although Lu Xueling's yard is not as spacious and bright as Lu Xueyi's courtyard, it is also exquisite, and there are many varieties of flowers and plants in the yard.
"Call everyone out." Chang Mama is middle-aged, full of energy, and when she roars like this, the maids in the house tremble.
There were no more maids in Lu Xueling's yard, except for the two big maids and four small maids, plus two mothers-in-law, there were not many people, standing in a row in the yard, looking at the lady with full aura with some shrunken.
"A few of you go in and search, and a few of you search your body." After Mama Chang finished speaking, she began to search the maid in the field.
Lu Xueling's pupils shrank, and Caixia still had ...... on her wrist
Before she could stop it, Mama Chang just groped for her wrist, frowned, and immediately lifted Caixia's sleeve, and a jasper bracelet appeared on Caixia's wrist.
"Found it." Lu Xueyi hurriedly stood up and said happily.
Liu's tense expression also eased a lot, if the Xingshi mobilized the crowd but didn't find out, it would be a loss of face.
"Okay, you Caixia, you don't serve your master well on weekdays, and you actually hit the eldest lady with your idea?" Mama Chang pulled the person out viciously, Caixia couldn't stand it so hard, and suddenly fell to the ground.
"I didn't, I didn't." Caixia's face slammed on the ground, and she was about to be hurt, but in the face of such a serious accusation, she didn't dare to respond, and hurriedly retorted.
"None? See for yourself what this is? This jasper bracelet was given to the eldest lady by the lady, how could it be in your hand? You tell me honestly. ”
Mama Chang shouted.
Lu Xueling, no matter how stupid she is, knows what is happening now, she looks at all this in front of her, and she is already confused.
Although she likes this bracelet, she doesn't like it used by others, and in order to separate the Liu family and Lu Xueyi, she gave this bracelet away.
didn't expect Lu Xueyi to give her such a play!
"Caixia, I don't ask why you stole my bracelet, but since you made a mistake, you should be punished, and my sister failed to discipline you, it was hers, now that my mother is here, she is the mother of the Lu family, so she can discipline you."
Lu Xueyi looked at the Liu family again, "Mother, this maid stole finances without permission, or stole such a valuable thing, it is really unforgivable, the daughter begs her mother to beat this person for twenty battles, expel her from the house, and finally report her to the official for disposal!" ”
Once the words were spoken, Caixia's face turned white and white.
"Miss, Miss, save the slave and maid, the slave and maid don't want to be sent to the official, Miss, Miss, you save the slave and maid......" Caixia knew that she had no way to retreat, and hurriedly begged her master for mercy.
Mama Chang looked at her face without changing her face, and her lips opened lightly, "Take it away." ”
Lu Xueling seemed to have just reacted, and blurted out to stop, "Slow." ”
Lu Xueyi looked at Lu Xueling with a smile, "Second sister, Caixia should naturally be punished for making a mistake, the second sister doesn't have to intercede for her, but you ......"
Lu Xueling's eyelids jumped, and she took a step back, "What's wrong with me?" ”
"My sister can't discipline people well, so the people in your courtyard steal the master's things, shouldn't my sister be punished for Zhang Zhang's memory?"
"You are talking nonsense, this bracelet was obviously given to me by you......" Lu Xueling immediately covered her mouth, but it was too late.
No matter what the Liu family says, she is also the niece of the family, and she still understands the twists and turns in the family, plus Lu Xueling said it herself, how can the situation in the field be unclear......
Lu Xueling said that she leaked her mouth, and Aunt Xia on the side looked at her with an expression of hatred.
Partial Caixia is a blind person, let go of the corner of Lu Xueling's clothes, turned her head and cried to the Liu family, "Madam, the slave maid really didn't steal the eldest lady's things, this jade bracelet, this jade bracelet was given to the slave by the second lady, and please ask the lady to see it." ”
After speaking, he kowtowed vigorously.
Liu's face was very ugly, mixed with the momentum of the storm.
Okay, what a Lu Xueling! What an Aunt Xia!
This is a gang to play her as a monkey and use her as an arrow, but she still believes it, presumably the two of them have been watching the excitement yesterday!
Thinking of this, Liu glanced in Lu Xueyi's direction, what happened yesterday was indeed her fault, this eldest lady won't hold a grudge against her, right?
Lu Xueyi took a sip of tea, looked calm, and looked at Liu Shi turning his gaze to her, and then put it down.
"Mother, fortunately, this bracelet has been recovered, otherwise my daughter is afraid that her conscience will be difficult from now on, thank you mother."
Although Lu Xueyi is fat, her skin is soft, her face is white and tender, she is smiling at this time, and there are two shallow pear vortices next to the corners of her mouth, which is very comfortable to see.
Not only did people look pleasing to the eye, but even these words reached Liu's heart, and she couldn't help but feel at ease.
The Liu family was at ease, but Aunt Xia Lu Xueling and Caixia on the side were not at ease.
"Ling'er, let me ask you, Caixia said that you gave her this bracelet, yes or no?"
Lu Xueling's heart beat like thunder, Aunt Xia was anxious, and she knelt down and said, "Madam, don't listen to this cheap hooves who wronged the second young lady, this bracelet ...... This bracelet is obviously Caixia's little slut's covetous eldest lady's thing, so she had a bad idea, and seeing that the matter was exposed, she found the second lady and wanted to seek a way out, madam, you can't be soft-hearted towards such a wicked slave! ”
Caixia, who was out of breath who was crying, looked stunned, tears rolled through her face, and a slap hit her face before she could react.
Lu Xueling's slap was extremely powerful, and immediately knelt down in front of the Liu family after the beating, "Mother, I blame my daughter for conniving at these slaves and maids too much, so that today's big mistake has been made, and all the mistakes are my daughter's fault, and I ask my mother to forgive Ling'er for the sake of serving you carefully on weekdays!" ”
After speaking, he kowtowed.
Caixia was beaten to the ground, half of her face was swollen, the corners of her mouth were still sticking to bloodshots, and her expression was ugly and dazed, and suddenly she seemed to wake up, and shook her head again and again, "No, no, this bracelet was not stolen by the slave maid, the slave and maid definitely don't have the guts, please ask Mrs. to be the master of the slave!" ”
"Little slut, at this time, you still want to quibble, why don't you want to know the consequences when you steal something? and your old son and brother, none of them are good things, and the second miss treats you kindly on weekdays, but you are a wolf in sheep's clothing, and your mother looks the same. ”
Caixia's mother used to be the maid next to Aunt Xia, Aunt Xia entered the door of the Lu Mansion, and her mother also followed, and Caixia was arranged to serve by Lu Xueling's side, and for this reason, Lu Xueling treats Caixia better than Caiping, after all, Caixia will be more loyal to her.
Aunt Xia roared angrily: "Caixia, I see you very diligent on weekdays, but I didn't expect to harbor evil intentions, why don't you think about your mother and your brother when you do this?" Well? Don't worry, your mother has served me for many years, and even you have stayed in front of the second lady for a long time, if you are really in prison, I will take care of your mother and brother for you. ”
Caixia's body trembled, and she understood Aunt Xia's extraneous voice.
If you want to protect your mother and brother, you can only confess your guilt!
Although Madame already knew that this was a scam between Aunt Xia and Second Miss from beginning to end, but the ugliness of the big families in the Lu Mansion and the restless house must not be publicized, not only the Lu family, but also the big families in the world.
So they need a substitute for the dead to hide the truth of the matter for them.
And she's the chosen substitute!
Caixia's face turned pale suddenly, she knew, she knew that Aunt Xia and Second Miss would definitely be able to do this, as long as she didn't recognize it, then her mother and younger brother would ......
The more she thought about it, the more frightened she became, and Caixia finally lost her strength, planted to the side, and fell to the ground.
Lu Xueyi looked at it coldly, she didn't think about what would happen to the two of them with a bracelet, but it didn't hurt to give them some warnings!
"Madam, Mrs. slave and maid confessed, the eldest lady's bracelet was stolen by the slave maid, that day the lady saw the ceremony, the slave maid followed the second lady to the main hall, and saw that you personally brought the bracelet to the eldest lady's hand, the slave and maid were greedy at that time, and then the slave and maid overheard the conversation between Mingzhu and other maids, saying that the eldest lady and her cherished bracelet, so it was just put in the jade box, and it was not brought on the body."
