The magpie was stunned for a moment, and suddenly thought that when Miss and Mrs. Biao instructed her, she had given her the gold that she had given her first, and she had put it in another small box in the room, and hid it last night, for fear of being suspected, and wanted to wait for the matter to settle down in the future, and then take it out, and suddenly her heart was overjoyed, and said:

"Yes...... Yes, the eldest lady rewarded me with two ingots of gold, which are still hidden in a small box under my bed! ”

Hearing this, Jiang Wanxiu showed a sarcastic smile on the corner of her mouth, rubbed her eyebrows, and sneered: "Oh...... It turns out that you, a minion, dared to set fire to Miss Watch for two ingots of gold, which is really easy to buy! ”

When Xique heard this, he also felt that this reward was too little, and it was definitely inappropriate for him to dare to set fire to the Wanzhao Pavilion at such a low price, so he hurriedly explained:

The eldest lady also promised the slave maid that after the deed was completed, she would reward the slave and maid with 1,000 taels of silver, and ...... And she also threatened the slave and maid with the slave's family, saying that the slave and maid were disobedient, so she sold the slave and the maid's family! ”

Jiang Wanxiu listened to this, and smiled even brighter, as if the magpie had been saying such funny things, she gently covered her mouth with a handkerchief, hid the wanton smile, and asked the old lady instead: "Grandmother, is the deed of sale of the magpie family in the name of the granddaughter?" ”

The old lady shook her head, and was very angry at the magpie's mistakes, and said: "It's nonsense, your family's deed of sale is in the hands of Madame, how dare the eldest lady threaten to sell your whole family, you tell me clearly, what is going on?" ”

As soon as the magpie was drunk by the old lady, she became even more nervous, and said tremblingly: "Slave maid...... Slaves...... The slave didn't figure it out at the time

, thinking that the eldest lady is the daughter of the lady after all, she must be able to persuade the lady to sell the whole family of slaves and maids! ”

Such words are naturally a big joke in the ears of people who understand, and the old lady's face changed when she was angry, and she said with a blue face: "You cheap, full of nonsense, you must make it clear today, who instructed you?" ”

The magpie kowtowed again and again, and insisted that it was Jiang Wanxiu's instructions, "It's the eldest lady, the old lady, it's really the eldest lady, the slave doesn't dare to lie!" ”

Jiang Wanxiu didn't argue, but said lightly to the old lady: "Grandmother, since the magpie insists that it is me, and says that I rewarded her with two ingots of gold, it is better to ask grandmother to send someone to search out the two ingots of gold!" ”

Su Lan and Jiang Wanwen looked at each other and smiled, this thing was searched, Jiang Wanxiu had no room for argument, so both of them were silent, waiting for the old lady to speak.

The old lady also felt that she should confirm whether what the magpie said was true or false, but because Jiang Chao was present, she asked, "What does Grandpa think?" ”

Jiang Chao glanced at Jiang Wanxiu, frowned and said, "In this case, it is still conclusive evidence to be conclusive, so let someone search for it!" ”

Hearing this, Jiang Wanxiu stepped forward and said respectfully to the old lady: "Grandmother, for the sake of fairness, please ask grandmother to send a trusted person to check!" ”

Immediately afterwards, Old Madam Bai nodded, glanced at Mama Li, and said, "Then Mama Li will take the tourmaline with you, be sure to search carefully, and you can't miss any evidence!" ”

She believes that Jiang Wanxiu can be so calm, she must be sure to clear her suspicion, since this is the case, then why don't she, who is a grandmother, be a favor!

Jiang Wanxiu smiled gratefully at Mrs. Bai, as if she was sincerely grateful for her grandmother's fairness and selflessness, but the bottom of her eyes was forever condensed, but she did not contain half of her emotions.

At this time, everyone's attention in the room was on the old lady, and no one noticed that Qiu Ju, who had disappeared for a long time, quietly entered the house and nodded to Jiang Wanxiu.

Jiang Wanxiu stood quietly on the side, waiting for Mama Li and Tourmaline to come back, the only thing she believed was that Mama Li had followed the old lady for so long and would not be bought by others.

About half a pillar of incense, Mama Li came back with a box, her face was calm, she couldn't see any clues, and the tourmaline followed behind, but she was a little cramped.

The old lady glanced at Mama Li and asked in a deep voice, "What can be found?" ”

Mama Li glanced at Su Lan, who was still watching the show on the side, and replied in a calm tone: "Old lady Hui, I found this small box in the room, and there are indeed two ingots of gold in it, and the weight is about fifty taels!" ”

The old lady's understanding of Mama Li made her understand that there was probably more than just gold in this box, otherwise Mama Li would definitely not have such a look.

So the old lady glanced at the box in Mama Li's hand, and said calmly: "Mama Li has found other problems?" This box is so big, I'm afraid it's not just two ingots of gold, right? ”

Hearing this, Mama Li nodded and opened the box in front of everyone, and suddenly everyone in the room gasped, is this a property that a maid can have?

The magpie was struck by lightning, slumped to the ground, her face was as white as paper, she had obviously hidden all the things that Bai Qingqing had rewarded, how could she be found with two ingots of gold? This can't be, who did it?

The old lady looked at the valuables in the box, not only gold and silver, but also pearls, hairpins, and gemstones, some of which Jiang Wanxiu would not have.

There is also a long jewelry box with a gold hairpin in it. And when Mama Li opened the jewelry box and took out the golden hairpin, Su Lan and Jiang Wanwen's faces changed.

The old lady stared at Su Lan with a straight face, and said with a straight face: "Su Lan, what else do you have to say?" ”

Jiang Chao looked at the old lady inexplicably, and asked suspiciously, "What does Mother mean by this?" ”

Hearing this, the old lady glanced at Su Lan, her eyes were cold to the bone, and she sneered and said, "Ask your good daughter-in-law, how can a slave and maid have such a valuable item, even if she is powerful, it is difficult to get such a heavy reward!" ”

Immediately afterwards, the old lady closed her eyes, got up slowly, glared at Su Lan angrily with her eyes, and said coldly: "Su Lan, this golden hairpin was rewarded to you by me during the New Year's Festival last year, right?" ”

When the words fell, Jiang Chao frowned and asked Su Lan with his eyes.

Su Lan knelt on the ground with weak legs, her face full of disbelief and panic, "Old lady, this golden hairpin daughter-in-law has been lost for several months and has not been found, I really don't know how it fell into the hands of that cheap maid." ”

The old lady didn't believe her words at all, slammed the table, and said sharply, "With so much gold, silver and jewelry, you really spent a lot of money to buy their lives." ”

Su Lan didn't understand why she was dragged into the water when she was so good, and hurriedly kowtowed and said, "The old lady is clear! I don't really know, I don't know anything. This golden hairpin must have been stolen by this, and it has nothing to do with me. ”

Seeing this scene, Jiang Wanwen also panicked for a while, and hurriedly knelt down together, crying: "Old lady, this must have been framed by someone, my mother would not do such a thing." ”

The old lady glared at Jiang Wanwen viciously and ignored her.

Su Lan's mind spun rapidly, she had to come up with a reasonable explanation to escape this catastrophe, otherwise once she lost Jiang Chao's trust, she would have no status in the Jiang family in the future.

She was ruthless in her heart, walked up to the magpie, slapped her, and shouted angrily: "You, not only betrayed your master, set fire to people, but even dared to steal my property." ”

"No...... Second Lady ...... I ......" The magpie covered her face, tears streaming down her face, but the fierceness in Su Lan's eyes made her unable to utter a complete sentence.

Only then did the magpie realize that the jewelry that Bai Qingqing gave her was originally to frame the second lady, which was really killing two birds with one stone.

Seeing this, Jiang Wanxiu looked at the magpie with a smile in her eyes, and said coldly: "You said that I rewarded you with gold, which made you greedy and do this kind of thing, so what is going on with these jewels?" As the eldest lady of the Jiang Mansion, I don't even have such good jewelry to use! ”

Seeing that the situation was wrong, Jiang Wanwen realized that this was a big trap, her face became distorted, and she immediately argued: "This is ...... This must have been stolen by the magpie, yes, daddy, you must make decisions for your mother and me today, and you must not allow the magpie to continue to do evil and harm me and my mother! ”

After the words fell, Jiang Wanxiu glanced at Jiang Wanwen with a smile in the corner of her eyes, looked at her with a faint smile in her eyes, and continued in a voice that was neither high nor low:

"Magpie, did you steal this jewel? I didn't know that the second lady was so careless, so many valuable jewels were stolen, and you didn't even find out, are your methods so clever? ”

Hearing this, Jiang Wanwen stood up anxiously, forgot the occasion for a while, pointed at Jiang Wanxiu and scolded: "Jiang Wanxiu, what do you mean by this?" ”

The old lady naturally didn't believe that these jewels were stolen by magpies, and there was only one explanation, that is, Su Lan rewarded her in order to buy the magpie to do things for her.

The old lady's slightly cloudy eyes turned faintly, and finally landed on Jiang Wanwen.

She glared at Jiang Wanwen, motioned for her to shut up, and then shouted angrily, "You girl, you haven't recruited you from the truth!" ”

Magpie felt that it was the first time she realized what it meant to be embattled, and she wanted to frame Jiang Wanxiu, but Miss Biao would let her go, but now how did she have anything to do with the second room? If it was said that he was instructed by the second lady, then he said that he was instructed by the eldest lady, so it would be exposed.

Thinking of this, the magpie's face was very ugly, and he immediately changed his words, crying: "Old lady, old lady spared her life, in fact, it was the second lady who instructed me to blame the eldest lady." ”

Hearing this, Su Lan couldn't believe it, as if she was struck by lightning, her face turned white, "Old lady, I'm ...... I don't know, I don't know this, I really don't know, old lady, this is someone framed, I'm innocent, I'm really innocent! ”

Xiao Yi on the side saw this scene, and she didn't expect that how good she had anything to do with the second lady, and suddenly remembered that Miss Biao had said before that the second room was an excellent black pot, is it ......?

Yes, all of this is Bai Qingqing's arrangement.

The fire burned the East Pavilion, and as soon as Jiang Wanxiu died, the old lady would definitely investigate it, so the blame must be ironclad.

Bai Qingqing deliberately gave the magpie a lot of gold and silver jewelry, and rewarded her with the gold hairpin in the jewelry box, and the magpie didn't know the origin of this gold hairpin, and thought that after finishing this ticket, he could leave Yefu with the gold and silver jewelry and live incognito.

As long as she sees this golden hairpin, the old lady will understand that it is the instigation of the second room, and the magpie is also the maid in Jiang Wanxiu's courtyard, and it is the Wanzhao Pavilion that burns it, no one would think that she will do it in her own courtyard, then there are only people in the second room.

Bai Qingqing's handling of the aftermath is perfect.
