Chapter 68: I can't afford to make a big fuss
I'm just waiting here, waiting for you to see each other.
Shen Yuyao's face suddenly turned red with anger, and she didn't look at Hua Zhen.
The old lady was furious, but looking at Hua Zhen's face, there was no way, and when she was about to ask Shen Yuyao and them to go back, Mama Cao opened her mouth on the side: "The imperial concubine has been beside the queen mother and said that the Shen family's etiquette is thorough, saying how well Princess Qi understands etiquette and numbers, and now it seems that I am afraid that what this imperial concubine said is half-true and half-false, and when the queen mother returns to the palace tomorrow and asks about the young ladies of the Shen family, the slave and maid also know how to answer." ”
Listening to Mama Cao's words, Old Madam Shen and Mrs. Shen suddenly froze on the spot.
They actually forgot about Mama Cao, you must know that Mama Cao was not only serving by the queen's side at the beginning, she was also the queen mother's person.
Even if the old lady was reluctant in her heart, she couldn't ask Shen Yuyao and them to leave at this moment, so she had to say coldly: "Yuyao, don't you even forget the rules." ”
When Shen Yuyao heard this, she had to step forward on her head and blessed Hua Zhen: "Yuyao has seen the county lord. ”
Hua Zhen smiled and nodded, and then returned to the eldest lady angrily.
Shen Yuyao took the lead, and the rest of the Shen family naturally didn't dare to drag it, and they all stepped forward to salute.
Waiting for this to be over, Old Madam Shen looked at Hua Zhen coldly: "Now can you tell me what happened in this courtyard?"
Hearing this, Hua Zhen didn't speak, but Mama Cao opened her mouth: "The eight treasure glazed hairpins that the emperor just rewarded today were lost, and the slave asked them who had gone to the treasury to steal the things given by the county lord, but no one admitted it, so they had no choice but to hit the ten boards with a cane and then ask slowly." ”
Old Madam Shen listened to Mama Cao's words, and only felt that her heart was on fire, almost burning to her head.
"How do you know they stole it?"
"Didn't someone else steal it?" Mama Cao looked suspicious when she heard this, and then turned to Hua Zhen and said: "County master, the slave maid thinks that what the old lady said is also reasonable, and the door of our courtyard has never been closed, and if something is lost in this Zhixiang Garden, it may not really be the servant in this courtyard who stole it, maybe it was the servant who was waiting next to the Shen Mansion who got the opportunity to sneak in and steal the things, let's go out and take a look." ”
This is to go out and take a look, just to arrest the other subordinates who are waiting in the Shen Mansion and interrogate them properly.
The old lady and the eldest lady turned green when they heard this.
"Why, it's not enough for you to make trouble in this Zhixiang Garden, and you have to go outside!" the old lady's face turned pale.
Hua Zhen said unhurriedly: "Grandmother, it's not that Zhen'er wants to make trouble, after all, this thing was rewarded by the emperor, originally I planned to take it into the palace tomorrow to ask the Queen Mother for peace, but now I find that the thing has been stolen, and I am really helpless." If this matter is known by the emperor, I am afraid that I will not be able to get out of the Shen family, after all, stealing the things given by the emperor, the people of the Shen family who are serving, I am afraid that they will have to go to the Five Cities Soldiers and Horses. I can't say that I have to implicate my grandmother, aunt and a few cousins, I also thought about the Shen family, so I interrogated myself in the courtyard, otherwise I would have asked Jiaoyue to find the people from the Five Cities Soldiers and Horses, and take away the people in the courtyard for careful interrogation. ”
As he spoke, he glanced towards the bright moon.
When the old lady turned around, she saw that Jiaoyue was holding a waist card in her hand, and her heart sank suddenly.
Knowing that what she said was true.
Although she knew in her heart that no one would dare to steal her hairpin, but now she was stiff, even if she finally found out that something was not stolen, and found that it was a fictitious thing, she just said that she remembered it wrongly, and when the time came, who could still tell what the prince of Youli was protecting and what the county lord was not, and only the face of the Ningguo Mansion was lost.
If they really let them recruit the people of the Five Cities Soldiers and Horses, they will only suffer in the end.
The old lady's face suddenly changed: "Since the thing was lost in Zhixiangyuan, the only one who is suspicious is the maid and servant who is waiting in this courtyard, so you can check them carefully, and you must find out the things given by the emperor." ”
The old lady said this sentence almost through gritted teeth.
The eldest lady was stunned when she listened: "Mother, is it possible that she is still making trouble?"
When the old lady heard this, she couldn't help but turn her head and glared at the eldest lady, and then said with a cold face: "What else do you want?"
She is minimizing the loss, otherwise Hua Zhen has found a reason, relying on the presence of Mama Cao, she can make the entire Shen Mansion unpeaceful.
Just now she said that she was going to greet the Queen Mother tomorrow, and this was a threat.
* Naked threatened them, if anyone told her to be unhappy today, when she went to greet the Queen Mother tomorrow, she would not be so polite.
Even if the old lady is angry in her heart, there is no way, who allows her to enter and exit the palace gate freely, and there is a capable person like Mama Cao by her side.
Now as long as she gets involved in Hua Zhen's affairs, the old lady only feels a headache, and she can't hide.
Seeing that the eldest lady was still unwilling to leave it like this, she suddenly glared at her coldly and turned to leave.
Seeing this, Hua Zhen looked at the eldest lady and deliberately asked, "What else is there to do with the eldest aunt?" If there is something to do, but it doesn't matter, if it's okay, Zhen'er still has something to do, then I will not accompany her. ”
The face of the angry lady was blue and purple for a while.
I only feel that I have created some kind of sin, and I actually recruited this evil star into the house.
Hua Zhen looked at it and waved her hand, motioning for Mama Cao to continue.
The maid and servant woman of Zhixiangyuan saw that the old lady was gone, and the eldest lady only stood there in a daze, not caring whether they lived or died at all, and suddenly the last pillar in her heart also fell.
Quickly knelt on the ground and begged for mercy again and again.
Mama Cao couldn't see it, so she let them beat each other, and everyone was beaten with ten sticks.
The eldest lady saw that in front of herself, Hua Zhen showed no mercy, several of them were inserted by her, and now her own people can't be saved, how to ask them to do things for herself in the future.
Her prestige in the mansion was also lost by Hua Zhen's stick.
The pale-faced man was helpless, and after watching it for a long time, he could only leave with hatred.
Staying will only make these people see jokes, and make these beaten people even more chilling.
After a meal of sticks, Kyaukyue found the eight-treasure glazed hairpin from Hua Zhen's house.
Suddenly, all the servants in the courtyard knelt on the ground, their faces ugly.
Sure enough, I saw Hua Zhen waving her hand very casually: "Since you have found it, then you can take it for a long time, and I will enter the palace tomorrow to ask the Queen Mother for peace." ”
As he spoke, he turned and went into the house.
These servants saw that they had been beaten in vain, but no one dared to squeak when they were angry.
The people who can be sent to Zhixiangyuan are not stupid, and they all understand that the county lord is not beating them, this is reminding them who they are serving now, who they are doing things for, so that they can have points in their hearts.
