"So they were waiting for me here, and it was a big move."

Firecracker sighed in his heart, looking at Qiaohe with an innocent face, he really couldn't connect her with her usual submissive appearance.

"Firecrackers, still don't hand over the golden hairpin?" Steward Li asked.

"Master, the firecrackers must have brought the golden hairpin with them at this time, and searched her body!"

Yun Yang pointed at the firecrackers with a firm expression.

"Someone, search!"

Steward Li beckoned a maid to come over, and the firecracker knelt on the ground and did not resist, allowing her to turn out the golden hairpin from her arms.

"That's right! This is it! When Yun Yang saw Jin Hai, his eyes couldn't help but widen: "Look at how you quibble!" ”

"Master......" The maid handed over the found golden hairpin to the prime minister.

"What else do you have to say?"

The prime minister opened his mouth lightly, as if he was a little distressed, he still had some love for this maid.

"This golden hairpin is not Aunt Jiang's."

Firecrackers kneel straight with their backs straight.

"What?"

"Master, please take a closer look at this golden hairpin, do you find it a little special?"

"Special?" The prime minister looked at the golden hairpin in his hand: "This hairpin, not pure gold?" ”

"Yes, my lord is wise, this hairpin is made of copper."

"Copper?"

"Yes, it was the slave maid who took it to Brother Jiang Nong and asked them to gild it."

"Why gilding?" The prime minister asked.

"Actually, what the slave showed to Yunyang and Qiaohe was not Aunt Jiang's golden hairpin.

It's a fake, which was privately made by the slave and maid in the style of the golden hairpin, just for... Just for the people of South Park,

Establish your own prestige and let them think that the second lady values me. ”

"Really?"

"The second lady has never rewarded Aunt Jiang's golden hairpin to the slave maid, let alone overthrown Aunt Jiang, all of them were slaves and maids who deceived them for vanity.

and they spread falsehoods. ”

"What a guts! Are you guilty? Steward Li pinched his waist and scolded.

"The slave is guilty! Be willing to be punished! "Firecrackers to the ground.

"What do you mean, sir?"

"Hit 20 boards and put them in the backyard firewood room."

"Yes.... It's just that these two maids listened to rumors and confused the public. ”

"Ten boards, a fine of one month's wages."

"Sir! Master! Don't listen to her quibbles, the golden hairpin slave has seen it with her own eyes, and it can never be gold-plated! ”

Yunyang knelt in front of the prime minister, extremely unwilling.

"See for yourself!" The prime minister threw the golden hairpin in front of her, and Yun Yang picked up the golden hairpin, and then he was speechless.

"Master, maybe she hid the golden hairpin......"

Qiao He whispered.

"The master can send someone to search the small courtyard of the slave maid, or ask the second lady in person......."

Firecracker said expressionlessly, what is she afraid of, she caught the Jiang Nong brothers, and they were the ones who were unlucky.

"Steward Li, send someone to investigate!"

"Yes!"

Steward Li left the front yard with people, and an hour later,

The second lady hurried over, followed by Steward Li.

"Master, the second lady is here."

"Come in......"

The prime minister pinched the top of his head.

"Master, why don't you tell me about such a big thing first?"

As soon as the second lady entered the door, she asked the teacher for her guilt.

"I dragged my maids one by one, from yesterday to today!"

"Madame is angry, I am also angry, look at the good things you have done!"

The prime minister didn't show a good face.

"I've heard that the yard of the firecrackers has been searched, and I followed Steward Li to find the people's room in the South Park just now!

Here! You love the concubine's golden hairpin! The second lady threw it away, and the golden hairpin fell to the ground.

"This?"

"Back to my lord, this hairpin was found in the pillow of the cloud duck." Steward Li replied.

"What? In my pillow? Yun Yang was taken aback.

"Naturally! So many pairs of eyes to watch! Can I still frame you? ”

"Sir! Master! The slave and maid are wronged, not the slave and the maid stole it, someone must have framed the slave and the maid! ”

"Planting? Yunyang, do you dare to swear by your brother's life that this matter has nothing to do with you? ”

Firecracker frowned and asked.

"I ......," Yun Yang said.

"Master, the jewelry I appreciate firecrackers on weekdays is much more valuable than this gold hairpin, and she can't afford to take a concubine's gold hairpin.

I won't do anything bad and be so ostentatious. ”

The second lady sat on the chair and stared at Qiao He and Yun Yang who were kneeling beside her.

"It's the two of them, who have been sneaky and nowhere to be seen these days.

In the end, it was turned out from under the cloud duck's pillow today, so many people have seen it,

What is this called, this is a thief shouting to catch a thief! ”

"Madame! Madame, I ......."

"What are you? Do you have to force me to rip off your old bottom? ”

The second lady stared at her apricot eyes, and she shrank to the side in fright.

"Master, it's because I can't discipline me that caused this mess, and I'll give her an explanation on Aunt Jiang's side."

The second lady stood up and lowered her eyebrows.

As soon as she came to stir up peace like this, the prime minister's head was splitting, so he waved his hand and said:

"You people from Nanyuan, just take it back and solve it yourself!"

"Yes......"

The second lady didn't linger anymore, took firecrackers, and beckoned her subordinates to take Qiaohe Yunyang back to South Park.

In the firewood room, Yunyang was locked up in one place, and Qiaohe was next door.

"Tell me, who commanded you."

The second lady stood at the door, condescending.

"None.... No one directs you...."

"I sent someone to find out that you and Qiaohe's hometown have an extra sum of money, do you want me to report to the official again to track it down?"

"Madame.... Madame, spare the slave and maid....."

When Yunyang heard this, he hurriedly crawled to the ground.

"Why don't you say it soon?"

"I don't know who the slave is."

"What?"

The slave and maid only knew that he was dressed in black, and he was arrested by him on the night when the slave and the maid and Qiaohe sold the golden hairpin.

He took a dagger and threatened us to push the matter of Jin Hai on the second lady's head, otherwise he would denounce us, and if we did so,

They will ask someone to send money to our house, and if we don't do it, we will.... will kill us and our families instantly.....

At the beginning, Qiaohe and I didn't believe that he had such great ability, until a few days ago, my younger brother sent a message, and someone sent fifty taels of silver in my name.

I realized that I was now riding a tiger! ”

"Who is he?" Firecracker asked.

"The slave maid didn't know, he covered his face with a black cloth, although he was not tall, but it would not be wrong to hear the voice of a man."

"Men?" The second lady turned her head and frowned, and looked at each other with the firecrackers.

"Madame, ma'am! The slave knows that she has made a big mistake, and she doesn't ask her for forgiveness, she just asks her to keep my family safe! Madam!

Slaves, slaves and maids are also a last resort! Even if you are born with a cheap life, you can't help yourself, but you really don't want your family to suffer! ”

Yun Yang cried a handful of snot and tears, looking really hateful and pitiful.

"That's it, let's hold on first, I'm tired."

Qi didn't want to see her crying, so he turned around and left, not even going to Qiaohe's room.

"I didn't expect that there were so many people I wanted to deal with Nanyuan."

On the couch of Dounan Pavilion, Second Mrs. Qi leaned on the pillow and smiled bitterly.

"Yunyang and Qiaohe are really pitiful."

Ruyu sighed.

"Poor what! They stole Aunt Jiang's golden hairpin, became greedy, and were caught by others to frame firecrackers and the second lady, and they deserved it. ”

Rika pouted disapprovingly.

The firecrackers stood aside and didn't say anything, but fortunately they had a plan, and yesterday they were taken to the front yard while they were taken to the front yard.

He sneaked out of the house to find Jiang Nong, went to the pawnshop with him to exchange for the golden hairpin, and told him to find someone to make another copper hairpin according to the golden hairpin.

asked him to run over this morning to send the golden hairpin, and in the afternoon he ran over to send the copper hairpin, but Qiaohe and Yunyang only thought that it was the firecrackers at noon to confess to Jiang Nong for the golden hairpin.

In the afternoon, when he saw Jiang Nong coming again, he dared to go to the front yard to complain, wanting to get the stolen goods.

If it weren't for the fact that when she went out yesterday, she observed that when Ruyu was informing the second lady, Qiaohe and Yunyang's eyes flickered but they were not afraid, she would not have been suspicious.

And when she saw the golden hairpin, she concluded that there was something else in the matter.

Because the golden hairpin is Aunt Jiang's hairpin, she remembers it very clearly.

When the old lady's birthday banquet Aunt Jiang was bumped by the little young master, she was almost scratched in the face by the golden hairpin petals on Jiang's head. I had an unpleasant quarrel with the second lady again, and I haven't come to South Park for some days.

Besides, his favorite golden hairpin fell off, how could he have no reaction, and he didn't send someone to look for it, no matter how he said it, he couldn't say it.

"Madam, why didn't you interrogate the two of them in front of the master just now to prove their innocence?"

Ruyu interrupted Firecracker's thoughts.

"Humph! The open and secret battles in this backyard, the old man's heart is like a mirror, I prove myself for a while, I can't prove myself for a lifetime,

The man in black is coming at me, but I think that I can get to the bottom of it by relying on the master, I'm afraid it's a fantasy, it's better to hide myself in the shadows and see what they want to do.

The more the fox's tail is exposed, the more it will be beneficial to us, and when it shows its true colors, it will be the time for the real confrontation. ”

"But is it really guaranteed to be foolproof?" Rika asked.

"If you can't, you have to be able to do it, this battle, even if it wasn't started by us, we have to persevere.

As long as we prevent others from harming others, God will bless our ......"

"I haven't hurt anyone...... the second lady sighed and fell back on the couch: "But I was still disappointed." ”

"Your temper is destined to make no effort to get any good ....."

Firecrackers secretly scolded themselves.

At night, the three maids returned to the small courtyard, gathered together and cursed for a while, Yunyang and Qiaohe were embarrassed, and then went back to sleep.

The full moon rose, and the firecrackers climbed the tree and waited for the Huai Gongzi.

"Why is it so early?" The visitor stood under the tree and asked.

"Do me a ...... something"

"What's in it for me?"

"Cheesy!" A roll of the eyes was thrown away.

"Okay, okay, I'll help ......"

The two came to the firewood room in the dark and stayed in the backyard.

I don't know how long later, there was a rustling sound outside the door, and then the door of the firewood room was opened.

The cloud duck let out a miserable scream, and the two hurriedly ran over, only to see a black shadow flash out of the door,

The firecracker reached out to stop it, but was slapped aside by the black shadow, and Huai Gongzi was in a hurry to catch her,

only had time to grab one of the arms of the man in black, but the man in black took out a dagger and waved it head-on.

Fortunately, he was agile, turned around and grabbed the dagger and scratched the shoulder of the man in black, and the man in black covered his shoulder in pain and fled in a hurry.

"You know the bad thing....."

Huai Gongzi glanced at the firecracker sitting on the ground.

"You ......"

As soon as Firecracker wanted to open his mouth to refute, Huai Gongzi had already rushed into the house.

"The person is fine, I fainted with fright."

Firecrackers got up and ran into the house and saw Yunyang lying on the ground.

They weren't lying, and there were indeed black-clad people coercing them.

Firecrackers returned to Dounan Pavilion in the middle of the night and smashed open the door, looking at the second lady sitting there angrily.

"Yunyang and Qiaohe have been brought back by me, in order to ensure their safety."

"Well, send them out of the house at dawn, and let them go wherever they go."

The second lady waved her hand.

"Let them go?" Rika who was called together also yawned.

"What if you don't go? Staying in the house will kill sooner or later, so it's better to let them ask for more blessings. ”

"That's too cheap for them....." Rika muttered dissatisfied.

"They have been with me for many years, and I feel that this master-servant friendship is right, and whether they can be at ease or not is their own business."

"Yes, ma'am, I will arrange for them to leave the house tomorrow morning."

Firecracker nodded, turning his head to look at the moonlight outside the door.

A dark battle will begin again.
