In the backyard of Tongxiang Courtyard, the summer solstice was busy and looked at the medical books with relish. After the last farce, the summer solstice went to Jingren Pharmacy every once in a while to borrow books. Although he didn't see Bai Linfeng and Chen Huan again, Li Chang didn't show the slightest reluctance, which was enough for Xia Zhi.

Suddenly there was a child's dry howl outside, Xia Zhi heard that it was the voice of Sister-in-law Li's son Xiao He, thinking that he should not be bullied by anyone, and hurriedly went out.

In the corner of the backyard, it was Xiao He wiping his tears. And the one who was scolding him was Sister-in-law Li who looked distressed.

Sensing that someone was approaching, Sister-in-law Li vigilantly hid something behind her. After seeing that it was the summer solstice, he was obviously relieved, [Summer solstice, it's you. 】

[Sister-in-law Li. What's wrong? Xia Zhi asked, she didn't want to be nosy, but usually Sister-in-law Li treats her well, and if there is anything she can help, she will definitely not refuse.

Sister-in-law Li hesitated for a moment and handed over the hidden things. It turned out to be a silver hairpin inlaid with beaded flowers, which didn't look like something too precious, but Xia Zhi couldn't help frowning and asked, [Is this ...... The hairpin of the two girls? Xia Zhi remembered that this was the silver hairpin that Yin Shuang once loved very much, and she wore it almost every day, as if it had become her symbol.

Sister-in-law Li hurriedly sighed and said in a low voice, [Exactly. Alas, Xiao He was ignorant, so he picked it up in the front yard, but not only did he not hand it over, but he also secretly took it back. The front yard was still being searched just now, how can it be ...... now]

Sure enough, there was a noisy shouting sound not far away, and the broken gong voice of the Xiaolou was even more obvious, saying that the thief would be found by digging three feet into the ground.

Sister-in-law Li was even more panicked, [How good is this, can you give it back to her now?] 】

According to Shinolou's temperament, he may be able to distort the facts into something. Xia Zhi shook his head, [Leave it to me! As he spoke, he took the silver hairpin, but before he could make the next move, Xiaolou and his party had already turned to the backyard. Xia Zhi had no choice but to throw the silver hairpin behind him, and then took two steps and squatted down, pretending to be rummaging for something.

The search army attacked, and Xiaolou bore the brunt of it, and behind him were the little maids of Tongxiang Temple and the girls and maids who didn't think it was a big deal to see the excitement. Xiaolou saw Xia Solstice's behavior, and there were sister-in-law Li and Xiao He with red eyes standing next to her, and the scene was weird. [Summer solstice, what are you doing here, sneaky! 】

Xia Zhi raised his head, [It turned out to be Sister Xiaolou, we were catching the praying mantis, didn't we just let one go, Xiao He was crying in a hurry. 】

[Huh? Mantis? Xiao Lou looked sneering, [Miss Yinshuang's silver hairpin is gone, have you seen it? 】

Xia Zhi hurriedly shook his head and denied it, [No! 】

Xiaolou was suspicious, and he usually couldn't get used to Xia Zhi, who was of a similar age but still childish, but he had never been able to catch her pigtails. If you have a handle in hand, you must teach her a good lesson. With an order, let the little guys start a carpet search.

Soon, a maid saw the silver hairpin in the weeds in the backyard and exclaimed, [Sister Xiaolou, come and see, is this the silver hairpin of Miss Yinshuang? 】

Shinoolou walked over in response, picked up the silver hairpin, and after confirming it, a new question arose, [Miss Yinshuang never came to this backyard, how could she fall here? This was obviously said to the three people who were already present.

[This is a thief, I didn't expect there to be such a person around. 】

[It's a pity that there are thieves who don't have the courage to be thieves, and they throw away the stolen goods in fear when there is a little wind and grass. ] 】

[If only I could find it.] Even if someone with unclean hands and feet left it here, it is impossible to find out who it is. Everyone is talking about their opinions. To catch the thief is to catch the current, now the stolen goods have been found, but the thief has not been locked, although Xiaolou is unwilling, he can only go home.

Xia Zhi's heart finally let go, and he exchanged glances with Sister-in-law Li, even if this matter was confused.

Xiaolou suddenly paused, and the crowd watching the excitement behind him didn't pay attention, and squeezed forward like arhats. The little maid slammed into the small tower and was glared at fiercely by the latter. The little maid was afraid of being reprimanded, so she cowardly apologized and retreated back into the crowd.

Xiaolou didn't pursue it, but squinted at the silver hairpin, and twisted the beads inlaid on the hairpin with his fingers, [Heh, Skynet is magnificent and sparse without leaking. As for this thief, he really didn't hurry. Look at it, there is still evidence of identification on this pearl flower. 】

When everyone heard that, they all approached to see what Shinolou was selling.

Shinoro instantly became the focus of everyone's attention, and she showed the powder twisted from the pearl to the public, while saying, "Look, what is on this pearl flower? 】

[What's that?] 】

【…… It's pot ash! In the backyard of our Tongxiang Temple, who is most likely to be stained with this pot of ashes now? Shinoro said with a smile, his eyes firmly locked on Xia Zhi, and the results speak for themselves. The people in the courtyard are all responsible for their own duties, and not everyone can enter the kitchen casually, and Xia Zhi is usually responsible for decoction and other matters, and it is common for them to be stained with pot ashes. [As long as you verify them one by one, it is not difficult to find out the greedy thief! 】

Xia Zhi recalled that she had deliberately washed her hands before reading the book, and it should not be stained with pot ashes. glanced at Sister-in-law Li again, clasped her hands nervously, and looked down at the ground. Xiao He was also blinded, helplessly grabbing Sister-in-law Li.

Xia Zhi sighed helplessly, stepped forward and said with a hippie smile, [Sister Xiaolou, I picked up the silver hairpin in the front yard, and I wanted to return it to Miss Yinshuang. But you are in such a big battle, I am afraid to put the silver hairpin in the grass......]

Xiaolou couldn't allow her to argue, stepped forward and grabbed Xia Zhi's arm, confirmed the seemingly nonexistent pot ash in Xia Zhi's hand, and said fiercely, [Hmph, I just said that I hadn't seen the silver hairpin, and now I retracted my confession again? Everyone has stolen money, see how teach you! I couldn't help but say that I was going to go to the front yard with the summer solstice.

Seeing this, Sister-in-law Li hesitated to explain the facts, Xia Zhi hurriedly waved her hand, signaling her not to make any more troubles, and was escorted away.

listened to Xiaolou's description of adding oil and vinegar, solicited Yin Shuang's opinion, and finally decided to make the first offense on the summer solstice, and punished her to be imprisoned in a small black house for reflection, and she was not allowed to eat for three days.

The small black house of Tongxiangyuan is a shady cellar for punishing errant girls and girls who do not accept training. This harsh environment has instead become a paradise for snakes, insects, rats and ants, and rats and cockroaches run around.

Xia Zhi sat on the moldy wooden bed, regretting that he didn't bring the medical book over, how to survive the past three days. When he was out of his mind, the sound of intermittent sobbing suddenly sounded in his ears, and the cold hairs of the summer solstice stood up, and he had the courage to ask, [Who is there?!] 】
