Steward Lin was very quick to do things, and the next day, he brought the results of the interrogation of the three mothers-in-law in the small kitchen.

However, before informing the results, Steward Lin deliberately asked the maids around Lin Jiuniang to retreat, leaving only Mama Han alone.

"Miss Nine, it's Mama Wang."

Steward Lin got straight to the point, and opened his mouth to say the result first.

Lin Jiuniang was not surprised, she had already seen that it was Mama Wang's ghost, but she still didn't know Mama Wang's motives.

"Who did she say instigated?"

Steward Lin said respectfully: "No, she said that no one instructed her, she did it herself." ”

Mama Han sneered and said, "No one instructed me? So did she eat the bear's heart and leopard gall? A rough kitchen mother-in-law dares to drug Miss Nine? ”

Steward Lin frowned tightly and said with a solemn face: "That's true." Mama Wang confessed that because the small kitchen supplied less vegetables, fruits, meat and fish, the oil and water she could have gotten were gone, so she had evil thoughts, thinking of putting some medicine in Miss Jiu's meals to make Miss Jiu's stomach uncomfortable, so that maybe the small kitchen would restore the previous supply of vegetables, fruits, meat and fish, and she would be able to get oil and water again. It just so happened that Mama Li had difficulty in relieving her hands these days, and made a big teapot of pancatula leaf juice, so Mama Wang took the opportunity to mix the panja leaf juice into the mushroom chicken soup that was simmering on the stove. ”

"Oil and water in the kitchen?" Lin Jiuniang was a little inexplicable, "What oil and water?" ”

Mama Han was also confused, and Steward Lin continued: "Because the small kitchen used to supply too many vegetables, fruits, meat and fish every day, what I couldn't eat was sold to the restaurant outside at a low price. This adds up to a lot, and a month is not a lot of money. The mothers-in-law in the small kitchen all confessed that it was Miss Jiu's side who made the master, and divided the silver equally among everyone......

"Deuced? How much can one person share? ”

Lin Jiuniang opens her mouth for food and stretches out her hand for clothes on weekdays, but she doesn't know the specific price, thinking that there are only some vegetables, fruits, meat and fish left over in the small kitchen every day, and they are sold cheaply, how much silver can she have?

"Except for the winter girl, everyone can get five or six taels a month, and those who are less can get four or five taels."

"So much?" At this time, Lin Jiuniang was really taken aback.

Five or six taels, even more than her monthly case.

That is to say, the oil and water in the small kitchen of Yixinyuan are at least a few dozen taels of silver a month, and if it is a year, it is hundreds of taels.

No wonder Mama Wang would take risks......

Lin Jiuniang is not a stingy person.

Usually, as long as there is a festival in the New Year, she will give a reward to her subordinates, and when it is hot in summer and cold in winter, she will also have additional rewards, which is hard-earned money.

If Suo Chun and himself knew about it, he would never be greedy for these hundreds of taels of silver, and most of them should let everyone share it.

Moreover, since there is such a relationship, when he proposed to reduce the supply of vegetables, fruits, meat and fish in the small kitchen of Yixinyuan, why didn't Suo Chun make it clear to himself?

Is it because he has taken benefits from it and is a thief?

I'm still afraid of offending other people, after all, this disgraceful silver, those who see it have a share......

Lin Jiuniang's mood suddenly became a little heavy.

Last night, she was alone in the house sorting out her private belongings, and suddenly remembered that in her previous life, when she was married at the age of fifteen, she rummaged through the cabinets in the house and found only more than a hundred taels of silver.

Lin Jiuniang's monthly case is two taels of silver.

Of course, the young lady of the Lin family does not rely on monthly routines to live, especially Lin Jiuniang. Lin Zhilan was very generous to Lin Jiuniang, and gave her dozens of taels of silver during the New Year's holidays, for fear that she would not have enough money to spend.

But Lin Jiuniang is in Yixin Courtyard all day long, and she has no contact with the outside world, so where can she use money?

Food, drink, clothing, and play, Jiang Xuan will continue to send them to Yixin Courtyard.

There are more than a dozen people in the cage of Yixin Hospital, and how much money can be rewarded for rewarding?

By the time Lin Jiuniang got married, even if she didn't have one or two thousand taels of silver in her house, at least seven or eight hundred taels of silver should have it.

But there were only more than 100 taels left.

In her previous life, Lin Jiuniang was a big grin, she didn't keep accounts, and she didn't ask the maids to help her keep accounts, but she found that there was only so much silver left in the house, and she didn't take it seriously. Later, Lin Zhilan made up fifteen silver tickets of two hundred taels as money, and the remaining more than one hundred taels were exchanged for broken silver, so that she could go to the Hou Mansion to reward.

That's it.

But now that Lin Jiuniang thinks about it, I'm afraid things are not so simple.

The hundreds of taels or even thousands of taels of silver that disappeared from his house could not have disappeared out of thin air, and they must have been taken away.

Who is it?

Thinking of this, she lowered her face and asked, "Steward Lin, what else did the three mothers-in-law recruit?" ”

Steward Lin lowered his voice and said, "I also said that the fourth lady had intended to win them over, but they all refused. ”

Mama Han raised her eyebrows and asked, "In your opinion, are what they said true?" ”

Steward Lin replied cautiously: "It should be true, and besides, I also found out one thing." Miss Nine, it was the little girl in the stable who did the horse's hand and foot for the carriage, and the crane was the friend of the maid Begonia next to Miss Four. If Miss Four really bought the small kitchen of Yixinyuan, I think that Miss Nine would not have drunk senna juice. ”

Seeing that Lin Jiuniang was thoughtful, Mama Han was silent, so she asked again: "I haven't been here for a long time, but I don't know what kind of punishment should be punished for acts like Mama Wang, Suo Chun and Minghe?" ”

Steward Lin pondered for a moment and replied: "Mama Wang and Minghe are both directly harming the master, and according to the family rules, they will be beaten to death with a stick, but the eldest young master has always been lenient and benevolent, and Miss Nine is also a good person. ”

Mama Han sneered: "I don't understand what Steward Lin said, these two people are rebellious, plotting to kill their master, and they are actually beaten and over?" Also, what should I do with the begonias? It's not like she can't move her just because she's the fourth lady's maid, right? ”

Steward Lin said with a bitter face: "What the old sister said is that it's just ......"

Lin Jiuniang understood what Steward Lin meant.

Although Mama Wang and Minghe intended to harm themselves, they didn't really want to kill themselves after all, and they didn't cause any serious consequences. If the two of them are killed like this, I am afraid that it will also affect their reputation.

What's more, Lin Jiuniang also felt that these two people were not guilty to death, so they would teach them a lesson and get out of the house.

The most important thing at hand is not how to punish these two people, but how to prevent the same thing from happening in the future.

So she said lightly: "What about the begonias?" ”

Steward Lin hurriedly said: "Miss Nine, although there is Minghe to identify her, but Haitang refuses to recognize her, and she is the person next to Miss Four, so I don't want to be too ......."

Lin Jiuniang smiled slightly and said, "Did the eldest lady look for you?" ”

Steward Lin was taken aback, and waved his hand again and again: "No, there really isn't." Miss Nine, I'm also helpless, if it's a subordinate, I have a way to let them speak, but after all, Begonia is Miss Four's personal maid, and I'm also ......"

"There's nothing you can do." Lin Jiuniang stood up and said slowly, "It's not good if this matter is big, Steward Lin, you can do it according to your ideas." ”
