Early the next morning, Zhuo Zhaojie ordered Mingye's husband Ji Rong to go to Dongshi to check the pair of golden medicine immortal Lingzhi earrings, and told him: "You have to ask if the people around the Lu family really bought such a pair of pendants there, and besides, where did they get such a pendant, and try to ask as much as possible." β
Ji Rong is the youngest son of Ji Jiu, the head of the fourth room of the Zhuo family, he was born quite neatly, because Ji Jiu is the head of the house, he followed his father when he was a child, and he is no stranger to the twists and turns in the big house, and he is also clever and capable, and married Zhuo Zhaojie's former personal ambassador daughter Mingye, so the You family asked them to marry together to help Zhuo Zhaojie.
Although it was already two years ago that Ji Rong married Mingye, except for Zhuo Zhaojie's return to Zhuo's house and kowtowing to Zhuo Zhaojie in Jinghong Tower when he got married, this is the third time he has seen this master, and he can't help but be a little nervous, and he responded with sincere fear, and said: "The little one must inquire carefully and share the worries of the world's sons and women." β
Zhuo Zhaojie was still kind to his own marriage and the candidate for the future steward, and said with a smile: "I'm afraid that there will be something before noon today, you can report it after noon, in addition, I remember that there is a Hu cake shop outside Jingshanfang The cakes in the cake shop are doing well, since you go out, if it is convenient, you can go over and bring some back." β
Ji Rong understood as soon as he heard it, this was a hint that if he couldn't inquire, or couldn't make up his mind, he could go back to the Minping Marquis Mansion to ask Ji Jiu and even the You family for advice, and thanked him gratefully, so he withdrew.
When he left, Zhuo Zhaojie took a sip of tea and asked, "How did Isli and Samana go to the Lu family and You family to check the accounts yesterday?" β
"Returning to the world." Sister Isly and Sister Samana were already standing by the meeting, and when she heard this, she said on their behalf, "The maid went there to check the account book, except for what the prince gave in private because it was not good to keep the account, but she did not find that they were missing something. β
"Huh?" Zhuo Zhaojie frowned, thought about it but understood a little, and said, "Is there really nothing missing?" β
Both Isly and Samana nodded: "It's true. β
"I see." Zhuo Zhaojie thought for a moment and said, "In this way, you go to your grandmother's side and ask, is it convenient for me to go over after noon?" β
Originally, when Ning Shaobi was there, she was going to the eldest princess's mansion, which was never necessary to tell her in advance, after all, the eldest princess of Jiyang was happy to see this grandson, and wished that he would go over, so that he would not be annoyed because he broke through from time to time, but Zhuo Zhaojie, the granddaughter-in-law, could not be compared with her grandson, so it was better to be cautious.
Isley agreed, and said, "Go ahead, then." β
"You can go." Zhuo Zhaojie bowed his head and said to the left and right, "If You Shi comes to ask about the Golden Medicine Immortal Lingzhi earrings in a while, tell her that I am checking here, and when I have eyebrows, I will call her, don't let her in." β
As he spoke, he ordered someone to say, "Bring the remaining account book from yesterday, and let me read it while this is the case." β
So at noon, Zhuo Zhaojie took a nap, and after getting up, he told outside, saying that Ji Rong had returned, Zhuo Zhaojie changed his clothes, freshened up a little, and arrived at the outer hall.
Zhuo Zhaojie sat down on the head, and said with concern: "How? β
Ji Rong said: "If you return to the world's wife, the 'Treasure Pavilion' did sell a pair of golden medicine fairy cai lingzhi ear pendants last year, and it was indeed purchased in our house, and the little one went to ask the person who bought it, and the Tao was that the pendant was handed over to the prince at the end of last year, and it is unknown whether the prince rewarded You's family." But the little one asked the old shopkeeper of the 'Treasure Pavilion' to see the pendant he took from Lu's cousin yesterday, and said that it was indeed the one they sold - but after the small one came out of the 'Treasure Pavilion', according to Lu's words, he went to another shop in Dongshi and asked, but the shopkeeper over there also said that it was the one they had received at the beginning of the year and sold to the handmaid around the Lu family a month agoγThis pair with the best colorγ β
Ah Xing and the others frowned when they heard this, Zhuo Zhaojie closed his eyes for a moment, reopened his eyes and said, "Then what about you going to buy Hu cakes later?" β
This is the speculation of Ji Jiu and You after asking Ji Rong to return to Minpinghou's Mansion for help.
Ji Rong understood and said: "When the little one was buying Hu cakes, I happened to meet the little one's father who was also buying it for his wife, so he said a few words, and after listening to the little one, my father said that I was afraid that there was a thief around You's side, who stole her things and sold them, but it happened to be bought by the Lu family and given to his cousin, and the You family saw it, so it made a fuss." β
Zhuo Zhaojie said thoughtfully: "It should indeed be like this. β
After all, yesterday, the Lu family cross-examined the You family, and the relationship between the two was not harmonious, and even the Lu family did not enter the door of the You family at all, but how did they steal her things? At that time, You Shi was speechless, so he had to speculate that the people around him were bought by the Lu family.
However, You Shi also said that the Marquis of Yongcheng does not necessarily go to the door of the Lu family once a month now, obviously this Lu family is out of favor, generally concubines, and the people around the You family are not stupid, if the Lu family is proud, those subordinates stole You Shi's things to please the Lu family There is still some reason, but now it is the You family who is proud, even if there is a person who betrays the owner around the You family, he can't take the stolen things to the Lu family - most of them are taken out and sold, but unfortunately this pair of golden medicine fairy Cai Ganoderma lucidum ear pendants should be related to the Yongcheng Hou Mansion, went around and asked Lu to buy it back.
It's just that it is impossible to say that things are so simple, Zhuo Zhaojie thought about it, what Su Shi said before that Ning Shizhong collected the silver money of the concubines of the Marquis of Yongcheng to allow their families to enter and leave the Hou Mansion at will, because this matter involved the concubines of the Marquis of Yongcheng, so it was inconvenient for him to say more, I am afraid it is also half and half, although Su Shi's identity as a member of the Yue clan and Shen Lige's marriage, plus after Shen Lige's death, the Yue clan went to the court, and the sage and the queen privately promised that the Yue clan would not let the Marquis of Yongcheng continue to ensure the status of Ning Shaobi's son, It is indeed inconvenient for him to say anything more about the frequent correspondence between the concubines and their families in Yongcheng.
Because as the Marquis of Yongcheng, it is already a humiliation to promise not to continue the strings, if Su Shina still has to criticize the backyard of the Marquis of Yongcheng, how can the Marquis of Yongcheng tolerate it again? The saint, the queen, and the eldest princess will also think that this is the lack of greed of the Yue clan, and they are pressing the Marquis of Yongcheng step by step, and Shen Lige's depression ended, and Ning Shaobi was also sympathized and merciful, but if Su Shina didn't know how to restrain him, even if he reminded the Marquis of Yongcheng out of kindness, out of stance, the Marquis of Yongcheng would suspect that he couldn't even tolerate his own concubines, and the Marquis of Yongcheng originally married Shen Lige out of the current situation, and he couldn't help but have a deep grudge against the Yue clan. In the end, it was the saint's nephew and the eldest princess's favored young son, and it was inevitable that both would lose at that time, and it would not be good for Ning Shaobi.
However, Su Shina's sudden indulgence was revealed...... Is it just to deal with a Ning Shizhong?
Zhuo Zhaojie thought for a moment and said, "Aunt Mao, you take someone with you, bring the You family, the Lu family, and the people who serve them, let's go to see grandmother." β
Xu is because in advance let Isli and the eldest princess through the mouth, the eldest princess knew that Zhuo Zhaojie came back to look for her because there was something in the Yongcheng Hou Mansion, and deliberately cleared the scene, Zhuo Zhaojie saluted and said hello, because Ning Shaobi was not there, the eldest princess's expression was no longer the kindness when she saw Ning Shaobi, with a touch of majesty and arrogance, after giving the seat, she only glanced at the person who was brought over, and asked directly: "Is it the concubine of Jia Lang who is restless?" β
Zhuo Zhaojie owed a debt at the banquet, and said respectfully: "Back to grandmother's words, it was You who thought that the pair of earrings that Lu Shi put into the house yesterday was stolen from her when she left, so she made a fuss, and her granddaughter-in-law sent someone to Dongshi this morning to check, and there were some clues, but whether it was Lu or You, they were all people who served their father, and the granddaughter-in-law didn't dare to say much, so she came to ask her grandmother to make the decision." β
"Just two concubines, just two playthings, you are now the wife of the Yongcheng Hou Mansion, this matter should be dealt with by you, you can deal with it, Jia Lang has always respected the rules, you don't have to be so restrained." The eldest princess frowned and said displeasedly.
Zhuo Zhaojie thought to himself that the eldest princess had really done it to Ning Shaobi who was present in the past, and only promised Ning Shaobi the day before yesterday that Ning Shaobi would look at him on his behalf, but now he has only heard a few words of things and learned a lesson, so he smiled and said: "What grandmother said is that if it was only for a pair of earrings, the granddaughter-in-law would never dare to disturb the grandmother, but the cousin of the Lu family entered the house yesterday, and the granddaughter-in-law didn't know at all!" And I heard them say to each other that their families came and went in the house at will, as they had been for many years, and that they ......"
She looked embarrassed and said, "And those people never leave empty-handed." β
When the eldest princess Ji Yang heard this, her face suddenly sank, and she said, "There is such a thing?" He asked, "Did Ning Shizhong do it?" β
"The granddaughter-in-law heard that Lu Shidao was like this, and Su Bo also said that he had heard about it before, but it was inconvenient to say it, so he dragged it down." Zhuo Zhaojie said softly, "However, after learning about this last night, my granddaughter-in-law immediately asked Isli and Samana to go to their room to reconcile the accounts, but found out that ...... Nothing is missing. β
She seemed uncertain and hesitated, "So my granddaughter-in-law wondered, is it ...... What's the misunderstanding? β
How shrewd is Princess Jiyang? Hearing this, he already had a number in his heart, and said with a sneer: "Misunderstanding? What misunderstanding? The account book you took to the right one is only from the Hou Mansion of Yongcheng, they got something from the side, and asked the family to take it out, so naturally there will be no shortage of records in the account book of the Hou Mansion! β
The eldest princess bluntly said the hidden and unspoken things in Zhuo Zhaojie's words, and the Lu family and the You family were all trembling for a while, wanting to say something, but they were swept away by the eldest princess's majestic gaze, and they all trembled and silenced!
Zhuo Zhaojie pretended to be surprised and said, "Grandmother, since they are their father's concubines, where else can they get things?" β
Thinking of Ning Shaobi's face, the eldest princess also built a ladder for her, and lightly answered her knowingly question, saying, "It's time to ask Ning Shizhong!" β
Things have come to this point, the pair of golden medicine fairy Lingzhi earrings and the thieves around You Shi are no longer the point, but the point is that the Lu family and You family frequently buy Ning Shizhong to meet their families, and even continue to subsidize their families after buying Ning Shizhong - the two of them are concubines who don't go out of the door every day, but where did this money come from?
The eldest princess interrogated herself, and the Lu family and You couldn't bear the majesty of the eldest princess, and before they could last a few words, they cried bitterly and confessed, and replied that Zhuo Zhaojie and the eldest princess were expected: it was the benefits given by the Duchess of Qiguo.
Zhuo Zhaojie glanced at the eldest princess's face, but swallowed the sentence "Why did the eldest aunt do this" to his mouth, looked at his nose and nose, looked at his heart, sat still, silent, and completely listened to the eldest princess's disposal.
The face of the eldest princess of Ji Yang was extremely gloomy, although inside and out, they all knew that she was partial to the second room, and they all knew that the Ning family's big room and the second room were not harmonious, but the Duchess of Qiguo had actually reached out to the pillow person of the Marquis of Yongcheng, and even started several years ago - this matter was discovered by the granddaughter-in-law who had just entered the door, if it wasn't for the granddaughter-in-law who entered the door, she would have asked about the matter as the hostess of the Yongcheng Marquis Mansion, according to the previous Ning Shaobi as the son of the world, most of the reuse was the Yue's marriage of the deceased mother, and it was inconvenient to ask the concubine of the Marquis of Yongcheng, I'm afraid these two people don't know how long they will be ambushed by the side of Yongcheng Hou!
Even if the Lu family and the You family have been bought for many years, and the Marquis of Yongcheng is still safe and healthy, it can be seen that even if the Duchess of Qiguo bought them, she did not attack the Marquis of Yongcheng, but the eldest princess of Jiyang also had a chill in her heart, and she thought for a long time before she could speak, and said: "Since you think that you are a junior in this matter, it is inconvenient for you to ask the elders about the affairs of the room, then the palace will take care of it, leave the people behind, and you will go back to do your other things." β
The eldest princess said this very calmly, but her face seemed like a mountain rain was coming.
Zhuo Zhaojie wished that he would be able to avoid this, so he immediately got up and said, "Thank you grandmother for your kindness!" "Without saying a word, leave You Shi, Lu Shi and others behind, and retire with your own people!
