"Probably...... Maybe I went to the latrine on the west side. ”

"Oh, the thatched toilet in the west, is it the thatched toilet in the west, or the thatched toilet in the West Garden?"

Ruyu grabbed Yunyang's arm and asked.

"Sister Ruyu...... You...... What are you talking about? ”

Yunyang is still struggling.

"Since the sunset came back, I have seen you two more and more wrong, I watched you and Qiaohe sneak away from the garden last evening,

Say! Where have you been? Who did you meet? Ruyu asked.

"We, we just went to the front yard and picked up something......."

"Picked something? What is it? Take it out and take a look! ”

Rika didn't give up, and stepped forward and grabbed her sleeve.

"The two sisters spared me, I really haven't been to the West Garden, you slander me so much, tell me how to serve in the South Garden in the future?

Woowoowoooooooo......oo

Yun Yang was pulled by the two of them, so he squatted on the ground and cried.

"What are you pretending to be, thinking that you can wipe your snot and tears?" Rika looked at her and was angry.

"What's wrong, what's wrong? What's going on? ”

Qiao He didn't know when he came back from outside, and saw Yun Yang sitting on the ground in a mess, and Pear Blossom and Ruyu were guarding the side with unkind faces.

"You're back just in time, come with me!"

Ruyu pulled Qiaohe to the side.

"I saw you sneaking out of the garden yesterday, where did you go?"

"I ..... We ......"

Qiao He's face changed suddenly, and when he heard this, he wanted to turn his head and peek at Yun Yang, but he was stopped by Ruyu's scream.

"Hugh has to use his brains, otherwise he will be arrested and sent to the front yard for a good trial!"

"Yes...... Be..... We went to Wanhuayuan last night. ”

"Ten Thousand Gardens?" Ruyu frowned.

"Yes!"

"What are you going to do?"

"Go.... Go ....."

"It's not from the truth, just now Yunyang said that you went to the front yard, and now you say that you went to the garden, if there is not something unseemly,

Where is the need to be so secretive? ”

"We ..... We did go to the Garden of Ten Thousand Gardens. ”

Qiao He hurriedly pulled Ruyu's sleeve and said.

"We have a relationship with the steward of the front yard...... Secretly changed some rouge gouache. ”

"Secretly changed the rouge gouache? What to for? ”

"Nature..... Nature is our own silver. ”

"Your own silver? Qiaohe, don't you know the situation in your family? You have a grandmother and three younger brothers.

Your monthly salary is all to subsidize the family, not to mention Yunyang, her brother was in debt for gambling, so he sold her into Hengfu.

Where did you get the money for rouge gouache? ”

"......" Qiao He pursed his lips when he heard this.

"Don't say it yet!"

"Yes..... It was I who found a golden hairpin in the woods outside the South Park a few days ago and sold it for ..... Sold ....."

"Jin Hai? You are so bold, the person with the golden hairpin in this house is nothing more than the master of the garden, you dare to take it and sell it privately?

Say! Who bought the hairpin from you? ”

"Yes..... It is the two brothers Jiang Nong and Jiang Sheng, who often come to Fuzhong to move tea and goods. ”

"What's the noise?"

Ruyu was pondering Qiao He's words in her heart, and the door of Dou Nan Pavilion over there creaked open.

The second lady stood at the door, and the firecrackers followed behind.

"Madame!"

Ruyu stepped forward and told Qiaohe and Yunyang about the sale of the golden hairpin.

I thought that the second lady would be furious, but she didn't think about it, but there was no expression on her face, and Yun Danfeng said lightly.

"Oh, then fine, punish them to spit out the rest of the money, and cut the wages in half next month."

"What? Did I hear me right? Rika picked her ears in disbelief.

"Nanyuan has made such a mess and embarrassed personnel, is it difficult to publicize it in a big way?"

"Yes......"

Pear blossom pouted unwillingly.

Qiao He and Yun Yang were even more relieved after hearing this, and almost sat down on the ground.

"Find a chance to redeem that golden hairpin......"

The second lady turned her head and instructed the firecrackers.

"Yes!"

There are few people in this backyard who love to wear a golden hairpin, and the second lady loves to wear a hosta, and a few golden hairpins were distributed to Pear Blossom Ruyu and her.

The old lady doesn't like luxury even more, she wears her wooden hairpin all the year round, and the eldest lady's night-bright vermilion hairpin has never been changed, and even cheating on her head,

I remember that when I was in the West Garden, I heard them say that the eldest lady's dressing table jewelry only has a luminous vermilion hairpin, and there is nothing else.

So who will this golden hairpin be?

In the room just now, she told the second lady about the eldest lady looking for her.

Unexpectedly, the second lady was very displeased, but she didn't say anything, only said that she trusted firecrackers and would never be suspicious of her.

Now that the Jiang family's goal has fallen on the second lady, Sima Zhao's heart is known to everyone, and it only depends on how Nanyuan should deal with it.

In the evening, when the sun went down, there was no movement in the front yard, but the maids in the South Park were taken away one by one.

The second lady followed behind Steward Li and watched him take Ruyu and Lihua away.

"Why can't I go? Is it because the master doesn't want to see me? ”

"Where..... Second lady, the lord is not in the front yard, so he sent me over to bring the maids to inquire routinely. ”

"Absent?"

"Yes......."

Steward Li said expressionlessly.

"The second lady doesn't have to worry too much, the maids in the West Garden and the East Garden have been interrogated one by one in the afternoon, and the South Park is not the first."

Fart, the maid in the East Garden was arrested and interrogated, why didn't I get the news?

Firecracker rolled his eyes.

"Ma'am, let's go and rest first."

The firecrackers helped Qi into the Dounan Pavilion.

"You're always hanging in the yard, and you're embarrassed by Steward Li, aren't you?"

"I'm in a panic ......."

"Don't worry too much about things that have nothing to do with us, so that others will be misunderstood."

"Okay, go make me a cup of soothing tea."

"Good ......"

Half an hour later, Pear Blossom Ruyu came back, and Qiaohe Yunyang and the others were taken away.

"What are you asking?" Firecracker asked.

"I didn't ask anything, I just checked the places we've been to in the past few days, where we've worked, what we've touched, and which houses we've given food."

"Do you know why Jiang slipped tires?"

Qi asked, holding his forehead.

"At present, there are different opinions, and I don't know which one is the quasi-faith."

Rika replied.

"Yes, some say that she accidentally slipped and fell, and some say that she ate something unclean, and there are even rumors that she saw a ghost in the middle of the night and was frightened."

Ruyu blinked.

"What the hell?"

"Yes, I said I saw a lark."

"Hey, how is this possible!"

Rika pouted in disgust.

"Why not? I see that Bailing's death is inseparable from Aunt Jiang, she must have a ghost in her heart. ”

Ruyu nodded firmly.

The four of them waited in Dounan Pavilion until midnight, and Qiao He and Yun Yang came back, and both of them said that they didn't interrogate anything, so they went back to sleep.

The next afternoon, firecrackers arrived at Jiang Nong at the door in the backyard, promising to take back the golden hairpin that Qiao He sold to him at double the price.

In less than evening, Jiang Nong found her with Jin Hai.

The firecracker took the golden hairpin and wanted to go back to the South Park first, but was intercepted by Steward Li and others halfway.

"Take it away!" Steward Li commanded with a sharp voice.

The firecracker was put in front of the prime minister in a daze.

As soon as he stepped into the front yard, he saw Qiao He and Yun Yang kneeling on the ground and trembling.

"Why are they here?"

"Master, the firecrackers have been brought."

“.......”

The people in the hall did not speak.

"Slave... I've seen the master..."

"Firecrackers, your time in Hengfu is not short, right?"

The prime minister asked.

"Yes......"

"If not ten years, but eight years?"

"Yes......"

"It's not an exaggeration to say that you are the most popular maid in this Hengfu."

“......”

"Why don't you talk back?"

"The slave is terrified."

"Panic? I see that you are not only frightened, but also rampantly ruthless. ”

“...... The slave didn't understand what the master meant. ”

"Is that why you're so pampered?"

“......”

"Yunyang, repeat what you just said!"

"Yes, sir."

"What you just said?" Firecracker frowned, and seemed to have some clarity in his heart.

"A few days ago, the firecrackers showed the slave a golden hairpin, the workmanship was very gorgeous, and the slave and maid were curious.

So she kept asking her where she got this hairpin, but she couldn't help the slave's questioning, so she quietly told the slave and maid,

She took the golden hairpin from Aunt Jiang's room, and the slave was very surprised in her heart at that time, and scolded her for how dare she steal her aunt's things.

Who knew that the firecracker proudly told the slave maid that the second lady had given her a reward. ”

"What did you say?" Firecracker squinted at her in disbelief.

"Go on......" Steward Li commanded as he stood aside.

"Yes, a few months ago, the second lady always took a few people with pear blossoms like jade firecrackers to make trouble in Aunt Jiang's temporary concubine's house.

Sometimes it takes several hours to stay, many people can testify, and sometimes the second lady teaches Aunt Jiang a lesson,

will also casually take Aunt Jiang's things and laugh at her jewelry for not being valuable, but that golden hairpin is Aunt Jiang's most precious object.

Because the second lady won the love, Aunt Jiang also quarreled with the second lady, and was finally pushed to the ground by the second lady, and she almost lost her temper.

After that time, the second lady never went to the concubine's house again, and Aunt Jiang also had a miscarriage half a month later. ”

"Sir! The slave maid only followed the second lady to the concubine once, and was never rewarded with any gold and silver jewelry.

The second lady has never had a conflict with Aunt Jiang! ”

Firecrackers stared at Yun Duck, so frightened that she didn't dare to raise her head.

Firecrackers stared at Yun Duck, so frightened that she didn't dare to raise her head.

Her one-sided words alone are not enough to convince her.

One-sided? Qiaohe, what do you say?

Steward Li asked.

Qiao He raised his head tremblingly, glanced at the firecracker, his lips squirmed for a long time, and finally spoke:

"Slave maid...... The slave maid didn't know, but the firecrackers did often show off Aunt Jiang's golden hairpin in Nanyuan, which made many people blush. ”
