Mu Jingchi's words made Zhou's mother pale, and she just wanted to say something.

Mu Jingchi said again: "Needless to say, let her go back." ”

At this time, Wang Zhizhi suddenly remembered something, and actually walked out and said to Mu Jingchi: "Jingchi, that's the case, I want to ask Qingye when she will go back, because the servants at home are busy in the hospital these days, and no one can take care of her, so I think it will be more beneficial for her to go to Yuan's house to take care of her body?" ”

As soon as Wang Zhizhi's words came out, Zhou's mother and Qing'er all looked at Mu Jingchi.

Mu Jingchi didn't speak, but took the water handed over by the maid on the side, took a sip and said, "This matter will be decided after I am discharged from the hospital." ”

The anticipation on Wang Zhizhi's face, she was a little unexpected, and just before she wanted to say something, Mu Jingchi raised her eyes and looked at her and asked, "What's the matter, there are not enough servants in the family?" ”

Wang Zhizhi smiled and said, "Not really, but I'm afraid that the hospitality will not be good." ”

He said: "In my own home, there is no such thing as inadequate hospitality. ”

Mu Jingchi finished speaking lightly, and then said to Zhou's mother: "In the past few days, I have sent some more maids at home, and I don't need so many here." ”

Zhou's mother smiled happily and said, "Hey, sir." ”

At this time, the nurse walked in, holding the medicine in her hand, and Zhou's mother pulled me who was still standing by the bed, and said, "Miss, let's go, don't affect my husband's rest first." Zhou's mother seemed to think of something, and said, "Say hello to Mr. first." ”

I stood there and still didn't move, stalking my neck, I didn't know how to talk to him with such a face now, Zhou's mother pushed me again, and I still didn't speak.

Mu Jingchi, who was lying on the hospital bed, handed his arm to the nurse to prick the needle, and said without raising his eyebrows: "Don't force her, even if she is asked to do it, it is just reluctant, why bother." ”

Mother Zhou heard Mu Jingchi say this, and she didn't want to push me anymore, so she just said with a smile: "Miss doesn't like to talk during this time, and it is estimated that people are not very comfortable." Zhou's mother paused for a few seconds and said, "Sir, then I'll take Miss away first." ”

Mu Jingchi stopped talking, he coughed a few more times, his face was even paler than before, but his mental state was acceptable, and after the nurse pricked the needle for him, he adjusted the speed of the drip.

I didn't stay in it any longer, but followed Zhou's mother out of the ward, and after arriving outside, Qing'er couldn't help but say on the side: "Madame is really bad, I used to be very good with Miss, but I didn't expect that not long after I got married, I thought of a way to drive Miss away, and I can't take care of my body at home, can I go to Yuan's house to take care of my body?" ”

Zhou's mother said: "But it is not in accordance with the rules for Miss to live at home. ”

Qing'er said: "Even if it is not in accordance with the rules, this kind of thing should be said by the husband, not let her say, how long has she been married?" You want to expel the young lady as an outsider? Qing'er thought for a while and said: "Fortunately, even if such a thing happened, Mr. still didn't blame Miss, and he didn't listen to Wang Zhizhi's words, so it can be seen that Miss is still treated as a family member." ”

Zhou's mother said: "Miss's lukewarm appearance today is also a loss to Mr. Don't care." ”

Qing'er looked at me and said: "Miss, the Yuan family is now in the past, you don't know what life is going on there, you are at ease at home, Mr. does not speak, no one dares not to treat you as a member of the Mu family." ”

Qing'er's words made Zhou's mother very dissatisfied, she glared at her and said, "Don't talk nonsense and instigate Miss, no matter what the Yuan family says, it is Miss's husband's family, do you stay here and never go back?" What a system this becomes. ”

Qing'er has been with me in the Yuan family for a long time, and she knows what life the Yuan family is doing, so she hasn't thought much about letting me go back to the Yuan family.

For the first time, Qing'er couldn't help but refute Zhou's mother and said, "Zhou's mother, aren't you the most hurtful Miss?" Why can't you wait for Miss to go like those people? ”

Zhou's mother said: "I am the most painful Miss, but because I love Miss the most, I will think of a longer way for Miss than you bad maids who want to be happy for a while, in short, today's Mu family can only live temporarily for Miss, and it is absolutely impossible to live for a long time." ”

The two of them argued again, and I was walking with them, whether to listen or not, and then got into the car again, and it didn't take long for our car to arrive at Mu's house.

Not long after we got home, not long after Wang Zhizhi came back, we entered the door with the front foot, she walked in with the back foot, when I sat down on the sofa, the servant took Wang Zhizhi's handbag, I thought we had nothing to say, but who knew that after she handed the handbag, she walked towards me, and suddenly glanced at the words in the vase on the table, she stared and asked: "Don't you put lilies at home?" ”

The maid beside her immediately replied, "Miss likes lilies, so she has always kept lilies at home." ”

This sentence made Wang Zhizhi change slightly, but she didn't say anything, but sat down in front of me, and after Zhou's mother spread a blanket on my lap, she waited aside and said to Wang Zhizhi: "What flowers does Madame like?" Tomorrow I will go out and buy it back and replace it. ”

Wang Zhizhi said: "No need, what you say sounds like charity." ”

Zhou's mother wanted to explain, the maid had already come over with tea, and the maid didn't know if it was a habit or what, so she handed the first cup of tea to Wang Zhizhi first, and then handed the second cup of tea to me

The general guest is the first cup, and the main is the second cup, this order made Wang Zhizhi's face a little pale, but she didn't show anything, she took it very indifferently, then took a sip, closed the lid of the teacup before saying to me: "Qingye, I think we need to have a good chat." ”

Then she looked at me.

I had expected her to have this for a long time, and it was only a matter of time before such a direct face-to-face conversation would happen, I looked at her and didn't speak, because I had already expected what she was going to talk to me about, and sure enough, the next second, she said, "How long are you going to live here?" ”

Qing'er saw that she not only did not restrain herself from this matter, but also became energetic, she just wanted to speak, Zhou's mother immediately pulled her and said to her: "Go to the kitchen to cut some fruit, Mrs. and Miss want to eat it." ”

Although Qing'er was not too willing, she could only do it under Zhou's mother's orders.

After Qing'er left, I said to Wang Zhizhi, "Didn't he tell you today?" Wait until he is discharged from the hospital before making a decision. ”

Wang Zhizhi said: "Don't use your brother-in-law to pressure me, he can do it without blaming at all, but I can't help it, because I am his wife, as his wife, I can't tolerate a person who almost killed my husband, and still lives in this Mu family house unharmed, I don't want to say too much, Qingye, I never want to drive you away in this way, after all, this was once your home, but you don't seem to know anything about the world, and you never pay attention to my good intentions, forcing me to say it very clearly." ”

She put down the teacup and said: "I never deny that this is indeed your home, even if you and Jingchi have no blood relationship, but you did grow up here and have lived here for more than ten years, but now it is different from before, although you are still a member of this family, you are always an outsider, your home is in Yuan's house, your husband is Yuan Lin, not here, this can only be a place for you to visit relatives, but not a place to raise you for a lifetime, do you understand?" ”

I didn't speak, just held the teacup, Zhou's mother couldn't stand it anymore, she originally wanted to calm things down, but now seeing Wang Zhizhi's words so ugly, she said out loud: "Madam, although Miss is married, yes, but Miss was picked up by Mr., and now Miss doesn't want to leave, how long to live here, it is also Miss's freedom, you ...... Words can't be said like that. ”

Zhou's mother's support made Wang Zhizhi ask rhetorically: "Then what should you say?" Mother Zhou, you are also an old man, and you naturally understand more etiquette than us young people, I want to ask since ancient times, who has married out, but still lives in his mother's house? If you have seen it, I have nothing to say, as a nurse in Qingye, you don't teach her these etiquettes, and you still come to accompany her to mess around so much, she doesn't understand, don't you understand? ”

Wang Zhizhi's words made Zhou's mother fall into an embarrassing situation, she has never been a person suitable for arguing with others, and this person is still her master, she laughed embarrassedly twice, at this time, Qing'er came out with fruit and heard it, she said: "Madame is right, since ancient times, there is indeed no such reason as Miss, but since ancient times, those who have not had such a reason as Miss have no such identity as Miss, and you also know what kind of life you live in the Yuan family, the Yuan family can not go or go, presumably outsiders don't understand, you understand, And the gentleman did not urge the young lady to go, and he did not agree to let the young lady go, if the young lady does not say hello according to your words now, if the gentleman blames him, who to ask? Who is to blame? ”

Qing'er's words were much more spicy, she put the tray with fruit in her hand on the table, and continued to smile and said: "Madame, why are you in such a hurry, this gentleman is at least still here, and now it is not your turn to call the shots, right?" ”

This sentence directly hit Wang Zhizhi's stinging point, her hand holding the teacup was pale, she looked at Qing'er, Qing'er didn't seem to notice her face, and she was still smiling brightly.

Wang Zhizhi was so angry that her eyes were red, and she said: "Now it's even ...... Doesn't a maid take me seriously? ”

She sneered, then looked at me.

In the end, she got up and stood up, looked at me and said, "Lu Qingye, no matter what I say, this lady of the Mu family has been so humiliated by your maid, where did you put me!" ”

As soon as the maid on the side saw Wang Zhizhi so excited, she immediately rushed up to support her.

I sat there for a long time and didn't move, nor did I look at her, just held the teacup in my hand to warm my hands, but the temperature of the cup of tea in my hand was getting lower and lower, I said: "You want to deal with some maids, how do I say, you want me to go, I don't want to go, the problem is that I go?" I looked up at Wang Zhizhi.

She trembled with anger at my words, and she said angrily, "If you want to go, why can't you go?!" ”

I smiled and said, "Why don't I want to go, but you asked, and the result?" ”

She was so angry that not only her eyes were red, but even tears came down, and she stood there leaning on the maid.

I didn't want to talk to her too much, I just got up from the sofa and said: "I will always go, you don't have to worry, I don't want to stay in this place as much as you imagined, when he comes back, he will naturally make a decision, if you are too anxious, it will make him feel bad, don't blame me for not reminding you, Wang Zhizhi." ”

Then I held Zhou's mother on the side and asked her to help me upstairs.

Qing'er also followed behind, and didn't pay attention to Wang Zhizhi, Wang Zhizhi was so angry that her chest rose and fell violently, her face was pale, and she couldn't even stand on her feet.

In fact, this is not what I want, so why bother with Wang Zhizhi now? Am I not making enemies for myself? One Wang Heqing is enough for me to choke, and now there is a Wang Zhizhi.

I was helped to bed by Zhou's mother, and I thought to myself laughing in my heart.

Qing'er didn't know what I was thinking, and she was still unconvinced: "This Wang Zhizhi, not long after she got married, was in a hurry to be in charge, and she even came to talk about these things with Miss, and she looked too bad." ”

I said, "In the future, don't worry about her about this, now it's not as good as before, she is right." ”

Qing'er tucked the quilt for me, she raised her eyes to look at me, and asked puzzledly, "What's wrong with Miss now?" How did you let her do that? ”

I said, "I just don't want to deal with her, not to let her." ”

Zhou's mother also said: "Miss is right, now it's not as good as before, Qing'er, no matter what she says, she is the wife of the Mu family, pay attention to her in the future, you see that you are angry with her today, and in the future, her account must be counted on Miss's head, maybe Miss still thinks that Miss asked you to do this." ”

Qing'er only realized it now, she said, "Then I went over and apologized to her?" ”

I said, "No, since we've all said it, there's no need to go back." ”

Zhou's mother came over, stuffed a stove in my hand, and she added a blanket to me and said: "But Miss, what Miss Wang said is not completely unreasonable, the daughter-in-law who has been married since ancient times is still living in her mother's house, it is indeed unreasonable, if this is spread out, it will definitely be a joke, you better choose a day to go back early." ”

Qing'er wanted to say something, but when the words came to her mouth, she swallowed them again, and she could only stop talking on the side.

I whispered, "I know, you don't have to tell me all the time. ”

Zhou's mother sighed and didn't say anything more.

I didn't meet Wang Zhizhi in the next few days, about that day she was really angry with us, and forced us for a few days, only occasionally heard the maid who came to my room say that Wang Zhizhi kept holding her scornful maid in the past few days, and the people who served her downstairs were miserable.

When Zhou's mother and Qing'er heard this, they were inevitably a little uncomfortable, but they were helpless, after all, Wang Zhizhi was the master.

The days passed like this, and Zhou's mother never mentioned that I should go to the hospital to visit Mu Jingchi, but she was relieved, and saw that Mu Jingchi's attitude towards me had not changed, and she did not run to the hospital again, and served me with peace of mind.

But one day I saw that Jasper seemed to be gone, and I asked Zhou's mother where Jasper had gone.

When Zhou's mother saw that I remembered Jasper, she was a little speechless, and I asked again, "What's the matter?" But what happened? ”

Mother Zhou immediately shook her head and said, "Biyu is here, but I was afraid that Miss would not want to see her, so I transferred her to another place." ”

I said, "You transfer her back." ”

Zhou's mother said: "Miss, but there is still a shortage of maids? I'll transfer a maid to Miss. ”

I said, "No, you get her back for me." ”

When Zhou's mother saw that I was so persistent, she could only nod and say, "Okay." It didn't take long for her to come downstairs, and when Biyu came up, I found that her face was even more ugly than Zhou's mother, and she trembled and bowed in front of me and said, "Hello Miss." ”

I knew what she was afraid of, but I didn't pierce it, and whispered to her, "Get up." ”

Biyu didn't dare to look at me directly, she stood there with her head down, and when Zhou's mother saw that I was looking at her and didn't speak, she immediately stood up and asked, "Miss stared at her like this, but what did Biyu do wrong?" ”

I instructed Zhou's mother and Qing'er: "I will go down first, I want to talk to Biyu alone." ”

Mother Zhou wanted to say something, but I said two words with a blank face: "Get out!" ”

Qing'er pulled Zhou's mother, and the two of them glanced at each other, but they could only walk out with a heavy heart, and closed the door at the door.

After only me and Biyu were left in the room, I just picked up the cup of tea on the table and whisked it, the atmosphere was extremely quiet, I heard Jasper's rapid breathing, she was very nervous, and seemed to have been waiting for me to speak, however, I didn't speak, after slowly drinking the tea to half a lamp, Jasper suddenly knelt in front of me, crying and calling: "Miss." ”

I drank the tea, and I laughed instantly, and then I put the teacup down, and then I looked at her and asked, "I'll ask you a few questions, and you answer me honestly." ”

Jasper lowered her head, a little trembling, and I said, "Who are you?" ”

She was silent for a while and said, "I am Jasper's sister, Turquoise. ”

I asked again, "Where did Jasper go?" ”

She was just sobbing, but she burst into tears and said, "Jasper, Jasper died that day." ”

I still had a fluke in my heart, but I didn't expect to hear her say this, it turned out to be no fluke at all, I closed my eyes and took a deep breath.

I asked again, "Are you twins?" ”

She said: "We are not twins, we are two years apart, but we look so similar that no one can tell who is jasper and who is turquoise unless we judge from our habits." ”

I said, "Jasper is ...... now."

Bilu cried and said, "Buried in my hometown." ”

I said, "How old is she?" ”

Emerald said, "Twenty-three. ”

"Is there a match?"

Bilu couldn't restrain her crying anymore, she lowered her head and said: "Yes, Xu is married to Xie's cousin's house, but now, now that Biyu has died, he has married another person, Biyu and Biyu like him very much, but I didn't expect it to end up with him like this." ”

For a while, I didn't know what else I could ask, I was just silent, silent for a long time, and Bilu suddenly knelt down and begged: "Miss, can you not tell Mr. that these words are what I said, once he knows, I will definitely die, Mr. is not willing to make you sad, so he will come to me to replace, if he now knows that I will tell these things, then I will not be able to leave the door of this house." ”

I didn't speak for a long time, Bilu's crying became louder and louder, crying in the ground and almost dying, for a long time, I said in a tired voice: "You get up, Jasper died to protect me, I naturally won't let your sister have anything to do, from today on, you will treat yourself as Jasper, and serve me with peace of mind, next to me, needless to say, I will treat this incident as if it never happened." ”

Jasper looked at me in disbelief, tears in her eyes.

Again, I said, "Get up." ”

She wiped her tears and stood up, and I called out the door again: "Qing'er." ”

Qing'er heard my call and walked in, and I said, "Give Biyu some money and let her settle the family." ”

Qing'er didn't move, but said, "Miss, haven't all your money been confiscated by Mr.?" ”

I just remembered something, last time it was indeed all accepted by Mu Jingchi, I quickly opened the cabinet next to the bed, found a lot of jewelry from it, and finally picked a few valuable pieces, I stuffed it into her hand and said, "Settle it well, and tell me if it's not enough." ”

Jasper cried and nodded, and finally I gave her three days off and let her go back.

Just as I finished telling this, Zhou's mother suddenly knocked on the door, Zhou's mother was not so rude, I immediately asked, "What's wrong?" ”

Zhou's mother said, "Miss, Mrs. Wang is here." ”

Mrs. Wang is Wang Heqing, Wang Zhizhi's sister, and when she heard her words, Qing'er suddenly asked me, "Oh? You won't come to trouble Miss, will you? ”

Qing'er's words just fell, and it didn't take long for a maid to come upstairs and say to Zhou's mother outside the door that all the maids in the family should go downstairs, and something big happened.

Zhou's mother asked outside the door, "What's the big deal?" ”

The maid said, "I don't know yet, Mother Zhou, you better let Sister Qing'er go downstairs quickly." ”

Qing'er looked at me, a trace of panic flashed in her eyes, Zhou's mother knocked on the door again, I was silent for a long time and said, "You go down first, don't be afraid, I'm here." ”

When Qing'er heard my words, she quickly blessed me, and walked out of my door to the downstairs, leaving Jasper by my side.

After that, the whole Mu Mansion was quiet, I don't know what the situation was, I listened quietly to the movement outside, and it didn't take long for me to hear someone's cry, when even said to Biyu: "You go down and see, what is the situation in the hall." ”

Jasper: "Hey. After a minute or two, Biyu ran up again and said, "Miss, Mrs. Wang said that Sister Qing'er stole her things." ”

I hugged the stove tightly and asked, "What did you say?" ”

Biyu cried and said, "Go down and see." ”

I knew it was for Qing'er, I asked Biyu to hold me, and immediately got off the bed and walked out of the door, but when I arrived at the hall, I happened to see Wang Heqing's mother-in-law next to her, and she took the whip and pumped it to Qing'er, so that Qing'er rolled all over the ground and roared fiercely underground.

The servants standing on the side didn't dare to say a word, Wang Zhizhi sat on the sofa, drinking tea and watching coldly.

At this time, a maid beside Wang Zhizhi saw me, and immediately said something in her ear, she looked back at me, and saw that I was standing upstairs, she immediately stood up, walked towards me and said with a smile: "Qingye, I was about to go upstairs to find you." ”

I looked at her coldly and asked, "What are you doing?" ”

Wang Zhizhi said: "That's the case, my sister lost something, but she found it here in the end, so I came to ask you what the situation is." ”

I said, "What is it?" ”

Wang Zhizhi said: "Bracelets." Then she pointed to the table, it was a white jade bracelet, which was very valuable and was placed in Wang Heqing's hand.

I said, "How can Mrs. Wang's bracelet be in my maid's hand?" ”

Wang Zhizhi sighed and shook his head and said, "I don't know, I'm also wondering how the maid in Qingye could do these things like dogs and chickens, if it wasn't for my sister bringing someone over today, I wouldn't believe it." ”

She pulled me and said, "Let's talk about it today, don't be angry, it's just for a maid, it's not a big deal." ”

She pulled me downstairs, and the woman's whip also stopped, Qing'er was almost dying lying there, Wang Heqing saw me coming, so he put down the teacup in his hand and said with a smile: "I shouldn't have made trouble here in this matter, but this jasper stole what is wrong with me, I actually stole a jade bracelet that the lord gave me, this jade bracelet was just when we got married, the wedding gift that the lord picked, I was reluctant to bring it on weekdays, but I didn't expect to call Qing'er, a dead girl, to steal." ”

With that, she wiped the corner of her lower lip with a handkerchief.

I sneered and asked, "How could my maid steal your bracelet, she hasn't even stepped into the door of the Yuan family for more than half a month." ”

Wang Heqing said: "She hasn't even entered the gate of the Yuan family for most of the month, but it doesn't mean that she hasn't stolen it before, don't forget that she has lived with you in the Yuan family for more than half a month." Wang Heqing picked up the bracelet on the table and said, "This bracelet was found in her room." ”

I said, "Which room." ”

Wang Heqing said: "The room of the Yuan family. ”

I only thought it was a joke when I heard it, and I said, "We haven't lived in the Yuan family's room for a long time, who would steal your bracelet and put it in that place, isn't Mrs. Wang here to pick a thorn?" Just make a name, and while we are not there, we will stuff it in the house where no one has lived, saying that Qing'er stole it. ”

Wang Heqing said: "If you don't believe it, don't worry, but this bracelet was indeed found in her house, and the maid saw her sneaking into my house before." ”

I said, "Mrs. Wang, don't come to find trouble again. ”

She said, "I'm looking for something? I'm telling you, if you're looking for something, then I won't come to you, but I'll go straight to your brother-in-law. ”

Then she put the bracelet on the table and said, "Since you don't believe it, then ask her yourself if she stole it." ”

Qing'er immediately lay on the ground and cried, "Miss! I didn't! Never have I ever stolen Madame Wang's bracelet! You have to trust me! ”

Mrs. Wang saw that Qing'er was still dead and hard-mouthed, so she stretched out her finger and pointed at her and said, "You still dare to die and don't admit it, isn't it that I'm wronging you again?" ”

Qing'er cried so much that tears fell like raindrops, and she only said to me, "Miss, I really didn't steal." ”

When Mrs. Wang saw her like this, she sneered again and said, "Okay, since you don't admit it, since Zhizhi doesn't have the right to take charge of the Mu family's affairs, then I'll go and tell your brother-in-law about this matter to see what she should do then." Then Mrs. Wang stopped looking at me, and walked out with her mother-in-law, Wang Zhizhi immediately stood up, chased after her, and said, "Sister, Jingchi is recuperating now, don't bother him about this little thing." ”

Wang Heqing said: "I don't want to bother her, but the maid doesn't agree, and Miss Lu has the intention to protect her, you have no right to be in charge, and I have no other way." ”

Then, Wang Heqing got into the car, and Wang Zhizhi couldn't chase after him, so he simply went to the hospital with Wang Heqing.

The maids in the rest of the hall stood staring at each other, not knowing what to do.

It was a long time before I said a word; "Let's all go down and do our own thing."

When the maids heard this, they quickly dispersed, and only Qing'er, Zhou's mother, and Biyu were scattered in the house.

Biyu immediately walked over to help Qing'er underground, and Qing'er cried and said, "Miss, I really didn't steal it." ”

Zhou's mother poured a glass of water and handed it to me, I took it and handed it to Qing'er and said, "You really didn't steal it, did you?" ”

Qing'er nodded vigorously, and I said, "Since you didn't steal, don't be afraid, even if this matter gets to Mu Jingchi's side, I will clear your innocence." ”

Qing'er said, "But-"

I said, "But what?" ”

She said: "Wouldn't it be bad for Mrs. Wang to quarrel with Mr. about this matter." ”

I sneered and said, "It's they who want to quarrel, what do we have to do with it, since they are willing to quarrel, we can't help it, right?" ”

Qing'er bit her lip, and I saw that she was even percolated with cold sweat, so I said to Biyu and Zhou's mother: "Help her to go to bed and lie down, and call a doctor to come and treat her injuries." ”

After hearing this, Zhou's mother and Biyu immediately helped Biyu up from the ground. Helped her upstairs.

By the next day, I was checking on Qing'er's injuries in Qing'er's room, and Zhou's mother ran up from upstairs, ran into Qing'er's room and said, "Miss! Just now, I received a letter from the hospital, saying that you were asked to bring Qing'er over! ”

I didn't expect this Wang Heqing to really make trouble with Mu Jingchi for this sesame point, I stood up from the bedside and asked, "When will we pass?" ”

Zhou's mother said, "Right now." ”

I glanced at Qing'er lying on the bed and said, "Qing'er, can you get up?" ”

Qing'er didn't know why she didn't dare to look at me, and after a while, she asked, "Miss, can I be in a few days, my body is really painful." ”

Zhou's mother was so anxious that she said, "Oh, where can I still tolerate you!" You just bear with it and get up quickly, lest you go too late and let Mrs. Wang splash you with sewage, no matter what you say, you are Miss's maid. ”

Zhou's mother quickly helped Qing'er on the bed, and Qing'er had no choice but to endure the pain and get up from the bed, and then we quickly rushed to the hospital by car.

When we arrived there, Wang Heqing was sitting next to Mu Jingchi's bed, I didn't know what to say, Biyu helped Qing'er, Zhou's mother raised her hand and knocked on the door, and the people in the house looked at us.

The next second, I walked in with Qing'er.

Mu Jingchi looked much better than last time, at least his face finally turned a little bloody, he didn't look at us, but brushed the tea in the cup.

Wang Heqing said to Mu Jingchi on the side: "That's the way it is, I also made it clear to you today, and I ask Jingchi to find out about this matter, this kind of trivial matter shouldn't alarm you, but Qing'er is...... Kiyono's maid, so I'm not easy to touch. ”

Mu Jingchi listened to Mrs. Wang's words, and said with a light smile: "Since such a thing happened, it is natural to help Mrs. Wang find out, no matter whose maid it is, at least this theft must not be rampant." ”

When Wang Heqing heard Mu Jingchi say this, he said with slightly red eyes: "The main thing is that I looked for Zhizhi for this matter, she said that she can't be the master, she's so useless, she has to bother Jingchi for this kind of thing." ”

Wang Zhizhi stood aside and didn't speak, just lowered his head.

Mu Jingchi glanced at her and said with a smile; "In the future, I will gradually leave the affairs of the house to her to manage, but now I can't rush it."

Wang Heqing heard Mu Jingchi say this, about to hit her arms, she touched her tears and sighed: "I only have this one sister, please Jingchi, you must be tolerant." ”

Then Mu Jingchi looked at Qing'er and asked, "Qing'er, let me ask you if Mrs. Wang's bracelet was really stolen by you?" ”

Qing'er didn't seem to dare to say it.

I stood aside and sneered, "Qing'er has been away from Yuan's Mansion for more than half a month, how did I steal Mrs. Wang's bracelet?" Mrs. Wang said that she found it in the house where she used to live, which is even more inexplicable, and a maid can be planted if she stuffs it into a house where no one lives. ”

Regarding my words, Mu Jingchi said with a little displeasure in his eyes: "I didn't ask you. ”

Mother Zhou tugged at me and reminded me not to interject, and at this time, Mu Jingchi looked at Qing'er again and asked, "Have you ever taken Mrs. Wang's bracelet?" ”

Qing'er cried and shook her head and said, "I didn't." ”

Mu Jingchi asked again: "Is there really not?" ”

He asked Qing'er three times in a row if she had it, and Qing'er said no.

When Mu Jingchi heard this, he looked at Mrs. Wang again and asked, "When did you lose this bracelet?" ”

Mrs. Wang thought for a while and said, "I don't remember when I lost it, but one day I went to the courtyard where Qingye lived before and found this bracelet in Qing'er's room, and then I knew that the bracelet was lost." ”

Mu Jingchi said: "It seems that it should be some time. ”

Mrs. Wang said: "I am reluctant to bring anything that the master delivers, so I keep it in the cabinet." ”

Mu Jingchi said: "The stealing is just for money, this bracelet is so valuable, but it is not cash, so naturally you have to find a way to exchange it for cash." Mu Jingchi instructed Steward Zhou on the side: "Old Zhou, immediately take this bracelet to the major money houses to inquire, but someone has taken this bracelet in exchange for money." ”

Steward Zhou said yes, then immediately picked up the bracelet and left with the person, and then Mu Jingchi glanced at Qing'er who was kneeling on the ground and said, "Qing'er, if the bracelet can't find out who it is, I will take you to the official to deal with it, you'd better be mentally prepared." ”

Qing'er's body trembled even more.

Mu Jingchi said again: "I'll ask you again, whether the bracelet is your own." ”

Qing'er was silent for a long time this time, everyone looked at her, and after a while, I stood up and said: "Everyone is afraid of officials, why do you use such words to bluff her, even the police station is full of unjust cases this year, let alone this small theft case?" And don't forget, the official mansion is opened by Mrs. Wang's house, no matter what you say over there, isn't it all Mrs. Wang's one hand covering the sky? ”

When Mrs. Wang heard me say this, she also smiled and said, "Oh, Miss Lu, what you said is wrong, what does it mean that the government is opened by my family?" The current official mansion is surnamed Yuan and not surnamed Wang, don't forget, now everyone calls me Mrs. Wang, and you say that the official mansion is opened by my family, isn't the official mansion opened by your family? Don't forget, your husband's surname is Yuan. ”

When I was about to say something, Mu Jingchi looked at me, wrinkled his brows and said coldly, "Okay, don't talk any more, go and stand on the side for me." ”

Zhou's mother pulled me again, and Qing'er dared to cry underground and said, "Mr. is really not me." ”

Mu Jingchi listened, but did not speak, but said to Mrs. Wang: "I will find out about this matter, and ask Mrs. Yuan not to worry about the juniors." ”

Wang Heqing smiled brightly and said: "How can I worry about Qingye, anyway, it's not once or twice that she verbally collides with me, I've long been used to it." ”

Wang Heqing's words, the words were hidden, and the smile in Mu Jingchi's eyes did not change.

Almost two hours later, Steward Zhou came back, but he didn't bring anyone back, but walked in alone, and then stood beside Mu Jingchi's bed and whispered something in his ear.

As soon as he finished speaking, Mu Jingchi's face changed, and even when he cast his eyes on Qing'er, Qing'er's body trembled even more, and the cold sweat on her forehead actually dripped.

Mu Jingchi asked again: "Qing'er, let me ask you for the last time, whether the bracelet was taken by you." ”

This time, there was no smile in Mu Jingchi's tone, but there was a hidden coldness, and his eyes were also pressed on Qing'er.

This time, Qing'er was not the same as before, saying that she didn't steal the bracelet, and she lay on the ground and cried.

This cry made Mu Jingchi sneer, he didn't ask any more, but said to Steward Zhou: "Send it to the official mansion, how to deal with it depends on the meaning of the official mansion." ”

At this time, two people walked in and immediately set up Qing'er, Zhou's mother didn't expect this change, and when she was a little at a loss, Qing'er suddenly cried and shouted at me: "Miss! Save me! Miss—"

I didn't know what kind of change this was, so I quickly rushed over and blocked Qing'er and said, "There is no evidence, why send Qing'er to the government, she is my maid, don't you just ask me?" ”

Mu Jingchi asked rhetorically: "Evidence? ”

I said with a blank face: "Yes, without evidence, I will not let you take her." ”

Mu Jingchi suddenly laughed, he said: "Sending it to the government can at least save a lost life, if you have to ask for evidence here, then I won't stop it, but you should know the rules, and then the nature will be completely different, don't blame me for not reminding you." ”

I never believed that Qing'er would steal things, so I ignored Mu Jingchi's words, but squatted directly in front of Qing'er, stroked her face and said, "Qing'er, you tell me, did you steal the bracelet." I soothed her and said, "Don't be afraid, just say it." ”

I stared at her, but she was a little evasive in my gaze, and when I waited until she answered me, she cried and said, "Miss, I stole ......."
