Seeing Mama Gao, who appeared at the door sweating profusely, Yu Xijiao's eyes showed a hint of mockery, Mama Gao finally came, but it was too late......

"Steward, third girl, what's going on here?"

Mama Gao came over panting, she didn't plan to go to Qian's family, so she took Yu Xijiao's instructions and walked around casually and found someone to chat.

Unexpectedly, after a conversation, a person in the courtyard came to report that Yu Xijiao was taking Hongling under the knife.

Mama Gao came back in a hurry, but she was still a few steps behind the chief steward, and she would see Hongling kneeling in front of Yu Xijiao and kowtowing, but she didn't understand the specific situation.

"Mama Gao......" Hongling, who was already desperate, shouted excitedly when she saw that there was new hope in Mama Gao's eyes.

It's not just her, but the maids and mothers-in-law in the yard are the same, it can be said that Mama Gao is equivalent to giving them the backbone, looking at Mama Gao expectantly, although she didn't call it explicitly, but the meaning of her eyes is very clear.

Yu Xijiao glanced at Qingyue.

Jingyue understood, and stepped forward to re-plug the previous handkerchief on Hongling's mouth, and she didn't need to talk more at this time.

cleaned up Hongling, and now it is Mama Gao who needs to be cleaned up......

"Third girl, even if Hongling has some mistakes, she has to ask her to understand, where can she block her mouth without saying a word, how can she justify this?"

Mama Gao glanced at Yu Xijiao dissatisfiedly, and reached out to pull the handkerchief in Hongling's mouth, but the person who reported the news only said a rough idea, saying that Hongling stole Yu Xijiao's things and was discovered, but it was not clear what it was, and Fang Cai only heard the last words of the chief steward.

"Why didn't Mama Gao salute when she saw the third girl?" The chief steward opened his mouth, his voice not loud but very majestic.

Mama Gao was stunned for a moment, reacted immediately, and hurriedly withdrew her hand and bowed respectfully: "Third girl, the old slave is just in a hurry to see Hongling's situation, so that she lost her manners, and I hope the third girl will forgive." ”

"How's Mama Gao doing?" Yu Xijiao didn't pursue her mistake for being rude, raised her eyes and asked.

"The old slave went to take a look, and didn't come forward to talk to the lady, the lady went back to the house, and the things in the house were in a mess, where is there any time to see the old slave at this time." Mama Gao glanced at the chief steward and said cautiously.

"Madame is busy in the house?" Yu Xijiao asked with a smile.

"Yes, Madame is very busy now, and she won't have time to worry about Yaoshui Pavilion." Mama Gao nodded, and said in a serious nonsense.

"Does the chief steward know where Madame has gone?" Yu Xijiao looked at the chief steward and suddenly smiled.

The chief steward didn't answer directly, but nodded and called a little guy to whisper a few words, since the third girl said so, she would definitely not be untargeted.

The chief steward is in charge of the affairs of the outer court, and he really doesn't know about the affairs of the inner court, so now he will send someone to the lady to have a look.

The little guy answered and ran out.

Mama Gao's face was a little ugly: "The third girl, is this not trusting the old slave?" ”

"It's not about trust or distrust, it's just a yard full of people...... It all makes me feel uneasy. Yu Xijiao said with a smile.

Gao Mama didn't understand this, but the chief steward understood, her eyes fell on Mama Gao's face, and she also examined it, in the past, Mama Gao was Madame's confidant, not the same as the chief steward, and she would not clash with the affairs of the chief steward, she only knew that she was a mother-in-law with a very good face in front of Madame.

"What do you mean by this? Does the third girl trust the lady or the old slave? When the three girls were in Jiangnan, the old slave was in charge of all the affairs in this courtyard, and he had been in charge for so many years, even if there was no merit, there was hard work, why did the three girls give the old slave a dismount now, so that the people in the courtyard were frightened and panicked? ”

Mama Gao said angrily.

Yu Xijiao smiled, Mama Gao can get the trust and reuse of the Qian family, it is really not simple, this is said very smoothly, as if what Yu Xijiao is doing now is for this so-called dismount.

"Mama Gao, what should Hongling be guilty of stealing such a thing from me?" Yu Xijiao stretched out her finger and pointed to the things thrown in front of Hongling, and said.

"This ...... Is there some misunderstanding? Seeing the good things in this clearly, Mama Gao gasped.

"There's no misunderstanding, some of them were rewarded by my wife when I arrived." Yu Xijiao said slowly.

"This ...... Hongling shouldn't, she used to be the most important lady. Mama Gao looked at the things thrown on the ground, and then at Hongling, her face full of confusion.

There was no excitement, no panic, no anger, everything seemed to be real.

Compared with Hongling's thunderous jump, this mother-in-law is much smarter.

"Mama Gao, Hongling has already recognized it." Yu Xijiao threw out a sentence, and after speaking, she looked at Mama Gao for a long time to see how she justified herself.

The courtyard suddenly fell silent, and everyone looked at Mama Gao quietly, waiting to hear her explanation......

"Then why gagged her?" Mama Gao was stunned for a moment and said.

"Lest Hong Ling speak disrespectfully and be disrespectful to me." Yu Xijiao asked rhetorically with a calm expression, "When does Mama Gao know when she took my things?" ”

"I heard that something happened to the third girl, and I didn't see the third girl go home, the old slave has been anxious to inquire about the news of the third girl, and he has rarely been in the yard for the past two days." Mama Gao said with a dry smile.

In the past two days, she has indeed been inquiring about Yu Xijiao's news, and I heard that Yu Xijiao has not died after being assassinated, and even when she arrived at the eldest princess of Anhe, Mama Gao sighed, how could this life be so big, how could she not die!

"Mama Gao went out of the house?" Yu Xijiao asked absently.

"I have been, in order to inquire about the girl's news, the slave maid also went to the Marquis Mansion." Mama Gao nodded.

The chief steward's brows furrowed, and just before Yu Xijiao asked him to check who had left the mansion in the past two days, in fact, the most suspicious person in this courtyard was Mama Gao.

Although Hongling, this girl is a first-class girl in the yard, but she is still incomparable to Mama Gao.

"Where did you get there?" Yu Xijiao continued to ask.

"From ...... From the side door past. Mama Gao didn't react, she replied subconsciously, feeling uneasy, peeking at the face of the chief steward, seeing that the chief steward had a calm face, there was no expression on his face, and she inexplicably raised her heart and answered cautiously.

"I'm afraid Mama Gao still doesn't know about my assassination in the Zhengyuan Marquis Mansion, right?" Yu Xijiao's gaze fell on Mama Gao's face, with a bit of majesty and momentum on her face.

Mama Gao's heart jumped twice, "Old slave...... Knowing some, but ...... It's not clear. ”

"Since it has something to do with the Marquis of Zhengyuan's Mansion, please also ask Mama Gao to make it clear, how many people were there when I went, did anyone see it, there should be someone on the side of the Marquis of Zhengyuan's Mansion, who opened the door to Mama Gao at the Marquis of Zhengyuan's Mansion, when did you go, how many times did you go, and who did you meet?"

Yu Xijiao spoke.

This is all about breaking the casserole and asking the end.

Mama Gao's face changed, and she said reluctantly after a while: "Isn't the third girl suspicious of the old slave?" The old slave has been in the mansion for so many years, and he is loyal to his wife and the marquis, how can it have anything to do with the assassination of the girl, as for Yu Zhengyuan's marquis's mansion, he only inquired about the girl's affairs, and he only went after the girl had an accident. ”

"No one went with Mama Gao?" Yu Xijiao asked in surprise.

"Nope!" Mama Gao said angrily, she is going to do something, naturally she can't be discovered, take a few things from the Zhengyuan Marquis Mansion and send them out in exchange for some money, even if the girl knew some of it, it was nothing, not to mention that it was still the third girl.

"What the hell do you want to say about the third girl?" Mama Gao was unwilling to be so passive all the time, her face changed when she was asked, and she took the initiative to speak, "All the subordinates in this courtyard have offended the three girls?" Why is Hongling kneeling with her mouth gagged, and the people in the courtyard are kneeling? The third girl, is this not satisfied with Madame's arrangement? ”

This is through the Qian family's pressure on Yu Xijiao.

Yu Xijiao smiled, her eyes under her long eyelashes were sparkling: and then her face sank: "Very dissatisfied!" ”

Mama Gao paused, she almost didn't believe what she heard, how could the third girl say such a big rebellious thing, with the gentleness and cowardice of the third girl, she didn't even dare to contradict herself, let alone Madame.

"Mama Gao didn't understand?" Yu Xi tilted her head delicately, and said word by word, "I am not satisfied with the people in this courtyard, Mama Gao and Hongling!" ”

Mama Gao never expected that Yu Xijiao would suddenly tear her face, and she didn't know what to say for a while, she opened her mouth and blushed.

"The chief steward doesn't want to check Mama Gao?"

Yu Xijiao didn't pay attention to her, and directly asked the big steward who was standing aside and listened to the whole process.

"Go check Mama Gao's house." The chief steward spoke.

Yu Xijiao gave a lot of things missing on the bill, Hongling is obviously not enough, if there are other people in this courtyard who are as unclean as Hongling, the most suspicious is Mama Gao, and Mama Gao still has time to take things out, and it is convenient to enter and exit, when Yu Xijiao is not there, she is the most powerful person in the whole yard, and she is the most likely to do it unknowingly.

"Steward, you can't just check my house, I'm Madame's person." Mama Gao said hurriedly, and she was about to stop people when she took two steps forward.

A mother-in-law of the eldest princess's mansion stepped forward and kicked at the crook of Mama Gao's feet, where could Mama Gao still stand, stumbled under her feet, fell to the ground heavily, and couldn't say anything painful for a while.

The mother-in-law skillfully held down the person, took the belt handed over by the other mother-in-law, and also tied the person with his backhand and pressed it to the ground.

"Third girl, the matter has not been investigated clearly, so it's always not good." The chief steward coughed lowly, and said dissatisfiedly, although Mama Gao is the most suspicious, but there must be no clear proof now, just holding people down and tying them up is a bit excessive!

"Chief steward, you go to check first, there must be evidence, if you can't find it in the house, I will provide it to the chief steward." Yu Xijiao smiled slightly, confident.

Seeing her like this, the chief steward couldn't say anything, so he simply turned around and went directly to Mama Gao's house to check the evidence.

The evidence is actually very easy to find, whether it is Mama Gao or Hongling, they don't take Yu Xijiao as the same thing, before Yu Xijiao entered Beijing, the two of them were repeatedly instilled by Qian and Qian Lizhen that it was impossible for Yu Xijiao to live in the mansion for long, and this time it was such a good opportunity.

Jewelry, ayara, and even some small gold beads were all found and thrown under the porch......
