Whether it is in the boudoir of the Marquis of Yangning, or now married to Yang Én's wife, although Chen Lan can't say that there is water around him, he has always been in order. Not to mention such a theft of losing things, even small mistakes are rare, so this time she suddenly lost a golden hairpin, which was one of the rewards given by Princess Jin when she was not married before, and she naturally refused to let it go easily. After Chen Yan left, she returned to the Yiqing Pavilion, and learned that the reason had not yet been investigated, so she ordered someone to be brought up after a while.

When she got married, several girls of all sizes who came from the Hou Mansion to marry, except for Yun'er, the rest were married one by one when they were in Jiangnan, and even Qin Fang, who stayed in the Mirror Garden, was married by her nod, and Chen Yan even sent a thick gift on her behalf. Therefore, now there are a group of people around her, most of whom were brought back from Jiangnan, and some are the students who stayed in the mirror garden, and now the little girl who is cowering and kneeling there is like this.

Because people are not waiting in front of him, although Chen Lan remembers his name and appearance, he hasn't looked at it very carefully. At this moment, looking at this little girl, who was no more than thirteen years old, she saw that her cheeks were obviously red and swollen, her knees were shaking unnaturally, and she didn't even dare to raise her head to meet her gaze, so she glanced sideways at Aunt Yun on the side.

Sure enough, before she could speak, Aunt Yun said: "Madam, what should be said should be admonished, the slave maid has said it, this face is her own palm, but she refused to say a word about those important words, only one bite was determined that the old lady had gone out for a month to travel in the mountains and rivers, and she was anxious to wait for the money at home, so she sneaked in while no one was in the room and took the golden hairpin." ”

Although she is now pregnant, Chen Lan gradually does not let go of her hands and does nothing, but she will not be wrong about the situation in her room. The ornament box has not been opened since she came back, but even when she and Yang Jinzhou went to Jinan's three major games together, there would never be anyone in the room, not to mention that the dressing table was in her bedroom West House, not a little girl could break in casually. So, looking at the motionless Amber Niang who seemed to have completely confessed her guilt, her brows suddenly furrowed.

"And what about the whereabouts of the golden hairpin now?"

Hu Niang was still silent, and Aunt Yun had to reply on her behalf: "Mrs. Hui, she said that after stealing it, she sold a gold and silver shop, and they gave her fifty taels of silver, and it was melted on the spot." ”

After being silent for a while, Chen Lan ordered the people to be escorted down and locked up to watch the guests. But when Aunt Yun took the two mothers-in-law out of the house, she asked, "How did you find out?" ”

"Madam, before that, Aunt Yun and Liu Guyu first called people over one by one for interrogation, but when it was her turn, I didn't say a word, and she was so frightened that she lost her soul." Yun'er saw that Aunt Yun seemed to be thinking about something, and didn't speak, so she took over the conversation, "I didn't look right, so I slapped the table and said that she was bold, she was scared and cried, and kowtowed and said that she didn't dare anymore, so I asked her why she stole later, and she said that the family was waiting for money, and those that I confessed before." ”

This doesn't sound like a big problem, but Chen Lan still couldn't figure it out that something was wrong, held her husband's hand and thought for a while, and then asked: "She said that the family needs money, what about her family?" ”

"Madam, she was left in the mirror garden before, we were just ten years old when we left, and after coming back, I met an old lady on the road, and the old lady saw her honestly, and learned that her father knew how to drink in addition to being an errand, and beat her all day long when she was drunk, and she was pitiful for a while, which put people to the Yiqing Pavilion to sprinkle and sweep, in fact, it was also a light errand." This time it was Aunt Yun who answered, and the rabbit cub Chen Lan listened extremely carefully, and she whispered again, "After taking the person, I immediately ordered to find her father, but the person was gone." His family was a person recommended by the former Runing Bo Mansion, although he loved wine, but he was honest after all, so he stayed in the past. No one thought that someone who looked honest back then would do such a thing! ”

At this moment, Chen Lan thoughtfully let go of the handrail, stood up and walked slowly to the side, and when he reached out to open the curtain, he suddenly stopped, and said without looking back: "And don't judge the words too early, catch the thief and catch the stolen goods, now there is only her own confession, but the thief has no shadow." And you have all heard it, saying that the golden hairpin has been melted, that is, it has been found in the distribution store, and the thing may not be able to be recovered. ”

"Madame, why are you worried about this?" Yun'er walked up from behind, and helped Chen Lan's arm with a smile, "Who is our master, the former Liangjiang General Soldier, and now the Governor of the Right Army, the Governor of the Battalion, if you really want to theorize, do you still believe in us, believe in a shopkeeper who collects stolen goods?" Besides, it's a golden hairpin, will our Mirror Garden still have nothing to do and wronged people? Yun'er has always had sharp teeth and sharp mouths, and her words were naturally true, and even Aunt Yun, who followed up, smiled and said: "Although Yun'er said this sharply, it is also so reasonable." I have already called the head of the shop over there and sent someone to ask, although I have not told him the reason in detail, but he has always been careful in doing things, and he thinks that there will be results tomorrow. ”

Chen Lan didn't speak, she went out from the bright room to the West House, she sat down in front of the dressing table, took off the hairpin rings one by one, and suddenly said lightly: "If you really bother to come in from the outside, and open the ornament box, as long as you take a few more things inside, it is enough for her to eat for a lifetime, why should she take only one and stay here stupidly?" Also, it is said that it was sent to the gold and silver shop to exchange money, and the people melted it, but if they didn't admit it and there were other gangs, and then things changed out again, what did it mean...... Wait, if the thing is still there, but someone else deliberately makes me think it's lost......"

Yun'er, who was dismantling Chen Lan's bun, was stunned for a moment, and when she saw Aunt Yun on the other side, she also stopped moving, and the two glanced at each other, but they forgot what they were going to do at the same time, and stood there frowning and pondering. As a result, Aunt Yun, who had been immersed in the palace for a long time, reacted and was shocked.

"Madame is right, if this golden hairpin is really taken by someone with ulterior motives, as long as it is thrown in any important place, Madame will not be able to tell if she has a mouth at that time! Especially that Amber Niang is such a shrunken xìn, she can't even tell the origin and process of stealing things, even if we lose something, no one may believe it. ”

The more Aunt Yun spoke, the more nervous she became, and many similar things in the former palace came to her mind, so she immediately dropped the double-strand hairpin in her hand and curtsied, "Madam, I have to go over there quickly and take a look, this is not a trivial matter!" ”

Aunt Yun hurriedly left, and Yun'er was dumbfounded. It wasn't until Chen Lan took off the pair of pearl cloves on her ears that she reacted, took two steps forward and said, "Madam, I thought I had a plan at that time, and I didn't have much heart, so I dragged Amber Niang to Aunt Yun and Aunt Liu after asking two sentences." ”

"You......" Chen Lan turned his head this time, seeing that Yun'er's face was full of shame, he didn't feel it, and beckoned her to come over, but he lightly tapped it on her brain, "It's your advantage to be in a hurry, but it's also your disadvantage, because it's too easy to be used as a gun." Still, today you have merit. If you hadn't happened to show up that Jin Changle to see it, maybe you would have to wait until something happened. It seems that in the future, I will have to count these things that I often bring from time to time, and I am careless. ”

"How can you say that Madame is careless? It's all me who gets dizzy. Yun'er was praised, and finally showed a happy smile, but her mouth hurriedly took the responsibility on herself, "It's not too early, there are Aunt Yun and Aunt Liu over there, they all have the means in the palace, and there will definitely be results later, let's go to the bed first." ”

Although there was not much movement outside, Chen Lan was also quite confident in the methods of the two, and immediately nodded with a smile. When she went to bed and leaned on the cushions, she chatted with Yun'er for a while, and as the topic gradually shifted, her mind naturally moved away from the strange theft. When she was joking about Yun'er's wishful husband, who still couldn't settle down, the curtain of the house was final

moved, followed by Aunt Zhi Yun and Aunt Liu, and their faces were very unsightly.

"Madam, the girl is telling the truth." Aunt Yun's face was heavier than the bottom of the black cauldron, and she took a deep breath before saying, "She said that her father treated her a few days ago, saying that if there is a theft lawsuit in Madame's house, let her admit it, otherwise she will marry a lame and blind fool according to the previous marriage contract." She's scared by the old man, so she says that. I just called her golden hairpin, she couldn't answer at all, she wanted to tell the truth, it was all my negligence before. ”

Chen Lan just felt that this golden hairpin was lost, plus Hu Niang didn't look like such a bold person, and her words and deeds were not the same as that of a thief, so she was suspicious. At this time, Aunt Yun's words confirmed her suspicions, but she felt heavy in her heart.

"Ma'am, this thing ......"

"Take care of the people tonight, and tomorrow you will return to the old lady and kick them out on the charge of theft, and warn the others." Seeing that Aunt Yun and Aunt Liu were stunned when they heard this, Chen Lan said word by word: "After the matter is publicized, you send a few safe people to send people to Tongzhou Anyuan in a carriage, so that you can send someone to stare at it later, and then ask Zhang Zhuangtou after arriving in Anyuan." ”

Listening to this careful arrangement, Aunt Liu on the side couldn't help but say, "Madame thinks that others are even ...... this little girl."

"Just in case...... In this way, don't use us, go and talk to Xiao Si, and lend Chu Ping and the four of them to me. They also wanted to learn a lot from him, and they were more familiar with the geography and people of Jingshi than our people in Jingyuan. ”

Chen Lan was about seven or eight points sure in her heart, but she still couldn't say what others wanted to do with their own golden hairpin space. When Aunt Yun and Aunt Liu and Yun'er folded the tent and retreated together, she rubbed her lower abdomen, remembering that others were in the difficult early stages of pregnancy, but she was still living a stable life, she couldn't help muttering softly: "Baby, you are well-behaved, you didn't let me suffer a lot." But others can't see you live in peace, so they have to stumble on your mother and me. ”

Although there was still no movement in her lower abdomen, she only felt a warm current in her heart, and a smile gradually appeared on her face. With so many winds and rains coming, she was afraid that these little tricks would not work
