Chapter 197: The Truth Comes Out
Xiao Qian looked at January and asked the housekeeper again, "What jewelry did she steal?" ”
The housekeeper hurriedly took out the hairpin and handed it to Xiao Qian.
Seeing the hairpin, Xiao Qian was stunned for a moment, this is his own, but it has been taken away by Mu Xiaoxiao.
The housekeeper continued: "This cheap maid is so honest that she actually said that this was given to her by the little lady, what a joke, in order to shirk the responsibility, she actually pushed everything on the little lady's body." ”
Mu Xiaoxiao shouted at the housekeeper, "Waste, you are waste!" ”
Xiao Qian held Mu Xiaoxiao in his arms, gently stroked her, and signaled her not to be irritable.
Looking at everyone, Xiao Qian understood everything, and said coldly: "This hairpin belongs to the official, and it was also taken by the little lady, as for saying that she gave it to January, then can't you ask her?" ”
The housekeeper was confused, where could he communicate with the little fox! Not only did they not understand, but the little fox didn't like to pay attention to them.
Xiao Qian asked Mu Xiaoxiao softly, "Did you give the hairpin to January?" ”
Mu Xiaoxiao nodded vigorously.
Xiao Qian understood, "Housekeeper, this is given to January by the little lady, not a theft, why don't you investigate it clearly?" ”
"It's been a month in the next question, and she can't say clearly, and she didn't expect the little lady to do this."
He was a little timid, because January had already said it, and they just didn't believe it.
Xiao Qian glared at January, "You girl, can't you even say such a thing?" ”
At this time, the housekeeper was very scared, afraid that he would tell the matter in January, in that case, even if Xiao Qian did not punish him, he would definitely scold a few words. He had always been cautious and had never made such a big mistake.
January lowered her head and said softly: "My lord, it was the slave who didn't make it clear, please forgive me." ”
Hearing such words, the butler's heart fell.
"Go down, if you don't even have a good deal with the little lady in the future, you don't have to stay here. Since you have a mouth, then you should defend yourself, such a submissive character may kill yourself. ”
"The slave knows that she is wrong, thank you for your teaching." Hurry up and kowtow in January.
At such a time, calm can only be restored if everything is acknowledged. She is a very smart girl, but she looks stupid on the surface, and with her own ability, even if she says today's grievances, it is impossible to change anything.
There's a reason why a housekeeper can be a leader. It is impossible to be punished for doing such a small thing wrong, but if you offend someone you can't offend, the next days will definitely be uncomfortable.
"Then hurry up and don't forget your duty. Since this hairpin was given to you by the little lady, it doesn't matter what your identity is? This is what belongs to you, and there is no reason for the master to return the reward of the slave and the maid. Xiao Qian commanded.
Hearing Xiao Qian's words, everyone present was stunned, including the housekeeper.
The housekeeper knows how precious this hairpin is, and he also knows what it means to Xiao Qian? But it was actually given to a slave maid like this.
Everyone also knows that if you don't take back this hairpin, it's not because of January, but because of Mu Xiaoxiao. Although she is a fox, she can also give valuable rewards to slaves and maids.
January was also frightened by such words, knowing that this hairpin is so precious, how can she accept it again?
She hurriedly said, "My lord, the slave maid can't accept this hairpin. Before the little lady took it back, she insisted on letting the slave and maid wear it on her head, and the slave and maid just thought it was fun at first, and then the little lady did not allow the slave and maid to take it down, and the slave and maid did not refuse. But the slave really doesn't know that it is so precious, otherwise the identity of the slave and the maid will not be accepted. ”
"No matter what your identity is, since Miss Xiao gave it to you, there must be a reason. The official knows that the little lady is very spiritual, and he likes you because you really treat her well. So you can accept this hairpin, needless to say. In the future, no one will accuse you of being a thief, and no one will suspect you. ”
Since the master has said such things, January can only kowtow and thank you.
"Master Xie, Miss Xie."
"Stand down!"
"Yes!" January finished trying to stand up.
But he fell to the ground, because he had knelt for too long, and because he was too hungry and tired.
Mu Xiaoxiao was a little distressed and chirped a few times.
The housekeeper hurriedly instructed Xiaoyu and another maid, "What are you two still doing in a daze?" Hurry up and help January down. ”
Although there was some reluctance in his heart, the two slaves and maids hurried over.
With their support, January went back to his room. Sitting on her bed, she felt relieved.
The maid looked at her and said coldly, "January, you are really capable, the little fox will actually bear everything for you." ”
January said helplessly: "I really didn't steal anything, the hairpin was really given to me by the little lady, but I don't know where this thing comes from, and I don't know how valuable it is, otherwise I would never dare to take it on my head." I'm just a little slave, I can't carry anything like that, and I know it in my heart. It's just that because I haven't seen the world since I was a child, and I haven't seen real gestures, I don't know that it is so valuable. ”
Xiaoyu snorted coldly: "You don't have to say such things in front of us, we are all slaves, you don't need to deliberately remind us." But our lives are not good, and even if we are rewarded, we will not be able to receive anything valuable. ”
Hearing this, Xiaoyu was very jealous in her heart. January also understood the reason why she was jealous, after all, everyone was surprised that a little fox actually gave such a valuable thing.
"Maybe the little lady thinks that the slave is honest! Otherwise, there would be no reason to reward me with such a thing. ”
"You mean it's good to be honest? What do you mean by that? It's as if we people are very cunning. In fact, you are just luckier than us, and it is impossible for anyone to take care of a fox badly. In many cases, animals are better served than humans, and we slaves and maids all know this. Xiaoyu said unhappily.
In addition, the maid was also very unhappy and said, "Everyone thinks that taking care of a fox is not interesting? Otherwise, such a good errand wouldn't have been your turn, but now it seems that you are a good deal. Others think you are very honest, and you also say that you are honest, but in fact, you are the most good at reckoning. ”
"Yes! You're really hidden, otherwise such a beautiful errand wouldn't have been your turn. Forget it, it's not interesting to talk about this, we hard-working slaves and maids hurry up and do things! ”
After speaking, Xiao Yu walked away, and the maid glanced at January and hurriedly followed.
