After all, she is still a little girl, and she has no vigilance in her heart, and Qingwen doesn't know when she walks in. Qingwen quietly hid behind the lotus jar in the garden, planning to give Shen'er a person to get all the stolen goods. Sure enough, Shen'er saw that there was no one around, so he slipped in. After a while, he sneaked out again, looked left and right, and was almost at the gate of the courtyard.

Qingwen stood up from behind the lotus jar and said loudly, "Shen'er, what are you holding in your hand?" ”

When Shen'er heard this, she was so frightened that she hurriedly ran out, and Qingwen naturally couldn't let her run away. also pulled his legs to chase after him, Qingwen just ran to the door, and heard a "snap" sound outside, "The little hooves don't go out without eyes, and they crashed into Mrs. Wang" is the voice of Xue Rui next to Mrs. Wang. Qingwen chased out the door to see, and saw Mrs. Wang with Baoyu, together with a few big girls and little girls, came back in a mighty way, the pendant was kneeling on the ground at this time, and couldn't stop kowtowing, Qingwen hurriedly stepped forward to ask for peace, and the pendant saw Qingwen coming up, and wanted to run, and a few rough mothers-in-law detained her.

The group entered the house, Mrs. Wang's face sank like water and sat on the top, the attacker carefully brought the tea, Baoyu stood beside Mrs. Wang, wanted to say something, Mrs. Wang glared at him, Baoyu hurriedly lowered her head, Mrs. Wang took the attacker's tea, took a sip, and said: "That matter will be talked about later, first tell me what happened to the girl in your yard just now" Qingwen was neither humble nor arrogant to stand in front of Mrs. Wang, and Shen'er was kneeling on the ground at the moment, and she couldn't wait to shrink her body into the cracks in the floor tiles.

Mrs. Wang glanced at Qingwen with the teacup in her hand, and said, "Tell me, what's going on?"

Qingwen said: "Back to Mrs., last night was my night, today when I returned to the second master's yard from the house, I saw Shen'er sneaking into the second master's house, and after a while, she came out of it again, as if she was carrying something in her arms, the slave wanted to stop her, so she ran out in a panic, but she didn't expect to hit the lady, it was the slave and the maid who was not good, please punish the lady." So he knelt down.

"The slave didn't steal anything, ma'am, the slave didn't steal," Shen'er shouted to Mrs. Wang in panic.

"If you have stolen anything, you will find out if you search it." Mrs. Wang seemed to be casual and said, "Xuefu, Xuerui, search her for me." ”

Xue Fu hurriedly grabbed Shen'er's hand from behind Xue Rui took something out of her arms, Shen'er was unwilling, struggling and crying, but she, an eight or nine-year-old little girl, how could she be able to compete with Xue Fu Xuerui, the two seventeen or eighteen-year-old girls.

After a while, Xue Rui searched out a purple and gold crown worn by Baoyu Suri from her, and a hosta, Xue Rui took the thing and handed it to Mrs. Wang and Baoyu, Baoyu just didn't believe that the maid in her courtyard would steal things, but because it was Qingwen who reported it, Baoyu didn't believe that she would slander people, I just hoped it was a misunderstanding, but now I saw things taken out of the pendant with my own eyes, and I had nothing to say, just turned my back and couldn't bear to look at it again.

Seeing this, Mrs. Wang smiled angrily: "I didn't know that your second master's things are all yours now, a maid like you, who can afford it, even if there are mountains of gold and silver, they can't stand you stealing" and said to the surroundings: "Come on, sell this unclean thing to me, and even her family, sell it to the Southern Barbarians, and don't keep any of them." ”

Shen'er turned pale with fright, and didn't dare to move, so he was dragged out. Qingwen didn't expect Mrs. Wang's punishment of Shen'er to be so severe, in her previous life, she just kicked Shen'er out, although in this life, Qingwen intended to make things bigger, but she didn't expect that Shen'er's family would be sold to the Southern Barbarians.

Qingwen didn't feel too guilty, after all, Shen'er's parents developed such a habit of stealing things from her, and she didn't think she neglected it every day, or the upper beam was crooked, and the lower beam was crooked, which was also the end they deserved.

Then Mrs. Wang said to Qingwen: "You are calm, get up quickly, come, come to me" Qingwen stepped forward, and Mrs. Wang put a gold bracelet on her hand and put it on Qingwen's hand.

Qingwen naturally didn't dare to take it, and hurriedly knelt down and said: "The slave and maid are very affectionate, but guarding the courtyard for the second master is the duty of the slave and maid, and the slave and maid dare not take credit."

"If you don't dare, I'll give it to you, and you'll take it" Mrs. Wang put the bracelet on Qingwen's hand and said: "In this courtyard, all the maids accompany your master to intercede, and don't look at whether it's a matter of pleading, only you didn't get involved, and you have to help your son-in-law guard the yard wholeheartedly, and you have to hold this bracelet Whatever you say, you have to hold it."

Qingwen saw that she couldn't refuse, so she took it, thanked Mrs. Wang for the reward, returned to Baoyu, stood with the other three maids, and saw a trace of resentment flashing on the attacker's face, Qingwen wondered if she was dazzled, but before she came back to her senses, she disappeared, Qingwen seemed to have something flashing in her heart, and Qiuwen's eyes wanted to scrape herself alive Qingwen ignored her, and only stood with Musk Yue.

Then together with the maid, he listened to Mrs. Wang reprimand Baoyu for a whole hour. After finishing speaking, Mrs. Wang left, and Baoyu was unwilling to chase after Mrs. Wang again.

Qingwen only then understood why Mrs. Wang was so angry today.

It turned out that this morning, when Qingwen was still having a nightmare, a great event happened in Rongguo's mansion. Zhibai, the personal guard of King Beijing, entered Jiafu with a box and a few people to ask to see Mrs. Wang, at that time Jia Zheng and Baoyu were having breakfast at Mrs. Wang's place, seeing that Zhibai was coming, they hurriedly invited them in, but they didn't expect that Zhibai told them a big news as soon as they entered the door.

Zhibai said at the time "Jiafu's second grandmother Lian borrowed the reputation of Jiafu to put money outside, and the money is a lot, enough tens of thousands of taels of silver, and the interest is extremely high, there are five cents at most, if it is not on, there is a team of ruffians and hooligans, first go to someone's house to grab things, if the family dares to stop, the lightest is also a beating, if even the things are not paid, that is the Laer selling daughters, there have been several families near the capital because of this family ruined, it is also a coincidence, yesterday morning when the ruffian went to the family to collect debts, met the King of Beijing, and the King of Beijing rescued the family, and the family was saved from being sold.

Our prince grabbed the person and inquired, only to know that it was your Jiafu people behind it, Master Jia, our prince doesn't care about this matter, after all, it is your family's business, how to deal with it later, you should come by yourself. It's just that after dealing with it, it's enough to give us a letter to the prince. Jia Zheng naturally said yes again and again, and ordered someone to send Zhibai. Zhibai left physical evidence, took people away, and went back.

At this time, Jiafu began to make a mess, Baoyu saw that Zhibai was gone, and was about to defend Wang Xifeng, so Mrs. Wang covered her mouth and pulled down Yihong Courtyard, and went to teach a lesson, so that Mrs. Wang was severely punished for the scene before.

At this time, the masters of the Rongguo Mansion and the Ningguo Mansion were gathering in the Rongxi Hall. Except for the unmarried girl and the aunt in the house, the serious masters of the two mansions are here.

Sister Feng originally wanted to argue, but when she saw that her large and small account books and the people under her staff were all there, and most of them were recruited, she had nothing to say, just knelt on the ground, bowed her head and hated.

The mother sat in the hall and said to Sister Feng: "There is no shortage of money in the house, why are you like this" Mother Jia has been away from home for a long time, where did she know that the Jia Mansion has long been empty, and as a last resort, Sister Feng resorted to the way of releasing Yinzi money to make up for the treasury.

Sister Feng was about to say something to justify, when she heard Jia Lian kneeling next to her and said: "Old ancestor, no matter what mistake this woman makes, please also see that she has just given birth to Sister Qiao'er, her body is prostration, pity is one, the ground is cold in this autumn, she has been sitting for a long time, I am afraid that she will get a woman's disease, and although she is wrong, but it is also her grandson's poor discipline on weekdays, the ancestor wants to punish her, so punish your grandson" Ping'er also knelt down and begged to be willing to be punished for Sister Feng.

Sister Feng was originally a competitive person on weekdays, outsiders have always known only Lian's second grandmother to their husband and wife, and they don't know Lian's second master, but you can imagine how strong she is on weekdays, and since she gave birth to Sister Qiao, Jia Lian has not come to see her a few times, although she doesn't say it openly, but secretly she also shed a lot of tears, and her heart is also cold to Jia Lian, so she desperately collects money and exerts power on people.

Unexpectedly, today he was willing to be punished for himself, and Ping'er, the girl who grew up with him, he didn't have a good tone for her on weekdays, and today she is actually willing to be punished for herself.

Sister Feng couldn't help but be happy and regretful, happy that there were two such caring people around her, and regret was naturally regret not being at the beginning. Then he knelt down and said: "Ancestor, wife, master, these things are all done by me, and it has nothing to do with Lian Erye and Ping'er, Lian Erye is a man, who cares about these things on weekdays, and Ping'er is my personal maid, but I also guard against her for these things, so she doesn't know, I ordered the people below to do it, please let the ancestor punish me" After speaking, he knelt down and bowed his head.

"Ancestor, grandson is willing to accept the responsibility of disciplining his wife not strictly, and may the ancestor see that she has done her best for the family over the years, and forgive her a little" Jia Lian begged, and Ping'er also begged beside him: "My grandmother was instigated by the people below to do such a thing, and I also asked the ancestor to allow me to be punished on behalf of my grandmother."

"Okay, I haven't said I want to send her yet, Ping'er, you go and help your grandma sit down, Lian'er, you also go and sit down next to you, don't worry, no one wants to punish your daughter-in-law." Jia Mu said: "Feng'er, let me ask you, these are really what you did"

"Yes," Wang Xifeng lowered his head and sobbed.

Mother Jia sighed and said: "You will recuperate in the courtyard in the future, and leave the affairs of the family to your sister-in-law" Then she slowly glanced at the people in the hall, and said threateningly: "I don't care what you think about this matter today, but Niangniang is about to go home to save her relatives, and you should also know the truth that there are no eggs under the nest."

asked Wang Xifeng again: "Who are the main people in charge of this matter?"

Sister Feng said: "As for the Laiwang family I married, there is also the mother-in-law in Mama Lai's family."
