Chapter 601: Hidden Murderous Aura
Xie Qionghua's voice remembered at the right time, "Why do you feel a little familiar?"
Xie Li's face suddenly panicked, and he immediately knelt down with a "poof", and kowtowed directly to the old lady, "Grandmother, my aunt doesn't understand anything, when my granddaughter went out to incense before, I happened to hear that the black market in the south of the city at night can buy valuable jewelry cheaply.
Thinking that my granddaughter is about to get married, and the Su family is that kind of family, I am afraid that I will go back to the Su family and I will not be able to raise my head at my in-law's house, so I ...... So I used my private money to buy these things for my granddaughter."
She hurriedly picked up a Huasheng, "Grandmother, look, these things are still old! My aunt is not sensible, but she is dedicated to her granddaughter, and she asks her grandmother not to be angry, no matter what mistakes she makes, she is not careful."
As if he remembered something, "Oh, grandmother, don't worry, although my aunt also went out to pick it out herself, she didn't let anyone know her identity at all, and it won't damage our family's reputation."
"Private money?" Xie Yuncang looked at Aunt Huang who was already kneeling with her daughter lightly, and there was some doubt in her tone, "Where did you get your private money? How can you buy so many things?"
"Concubine......" Aunt Huang was speechless for a while, these things were not hers at all, she heard the wind and ran to her daughter's room to find them, and she felt that something was wrong at that time, so she hugged them to her own room.
Now that I'm being questioned like this, where do I know how to answer?
Xie Li once again grabbed ahead of her, "It's me...... My wife didn't care about buying me a dowry, so she gave me the money and told me and my aunt to watch it ourselves, and this money came from here."
Even though most of the people present did not believe this set of arguments, it was logically acceptable when they heard it.
The old lady snorted coldly, "I really don't know what to say, I just said one, there is one hidden here, dare you to buy it from the same black market, and you dare to take out the things in the palace to show off."
Do you know that this inner money has its own account book, don't be such a valuable jewelry, even a bowl and a plate are registered, and the group of people in the palace who don't know whether they are alive or dead, dare to lick the blood from the knife and sell it secretly, can you still stand up to the inspection?"
Mrs. Xie said this, and Aunt Huang, mother and daughter, were guilty again.
"These things are sent to my study, how much money you spent, I will supplement you in addition, and I will not be so stingy with the dowry money."
As soon as Xie Yuncang's words came out, Aunt Huang immediately relaxed, and hurriedly pulled her daughter to thank her again and again.
"The fourth girl is about to get married, everything has been prepared on the Su family's side, in the end, she will soon be from someone else's family, and she is young, she has never gone out much before, and she doesn't understand many things!
But you, you are the personal maid of the Qi family, not to mention that after I arrived at the Xie family, even in the Qi family in the past, you should not be so ignorant of the world, and you dare to do such a thing, it is really a bit bold.
From today on, you have reflected on it in your own house, Xie Li's dowry will be directly handed over to the front yard to take care of, and you will come out on the day Xie Li's wedding."
This is to punish Aunt Huang.
Aunt Huang didn't dare to disobey at all, and even thanked her from the bottom of her heart, such a punishment was relatively nothing.
Only Xie Li felt that this result was humiliating her mother and daughter in public.
Aunt Huang pulled the corner of her clothes, and when she saw her mother's begging eyes, she pursed her lips and bowed her head.
"Old lady, the affairs of the masters are all trivial, but I found something amazing in the house of a few minions."
In fact, when the housekeeper came with people, everyone had already noticed that there were many people escorted in the courtyard of Shou'an Hall.
Even if you get face in front of your master on weekdays, you can be a slave in the final analysis.
For minions, there is not so much face to consider.
Mrs. Xie took the lead and took the others to sit in the hugging building, watching the housekeeper and the people interrogate one by one.
There are those who steal, those who steal, those who pass on the news, and some who are bold
, even secretly hid the "evidence" that was extremely unfavorable to the Xie family.
On weekdays, I think that the Xie family can be regarded as peaceful, but it is not until this thorough investigation that I can see how the calm bottom is hidden and turbulent.
There are even two people who do rough work, and they were found to be Lian Jiazi, but I don't know which force sent them to lurk in the Xie family.
Outside the door of Shou'an Hall, there was also a corpse.
Xie Yuncang glanced at him, "Dead man?"
The housekeeper is an old man who has served in the Xie family for many years, following the old lady Xie in the past, and now following Xie Yuncang, there are not so many twists and turns in his speech, seeing Xie Yuncang asking like this, he nodded directly and said, "Yes! We didn't find anything, but we noticed that he seemed to behave inappropriately, so we asked the two people in front of him to do a little help, but this man was very alert, and seeing that he couldn't get rid of it, he committed suicide very neatly."
This kind of thing is still very rare in the Xie family, but Old Madam Xie was so frightened that she hurriedly said, "That's ...... And that man...... When did this man enter the house?"
"Back to the old lady's words, I have already checked, this person's name is Ergen, and his parents are both old people in the house, but he died one after another eight years ago, and he is the only one left in the house.
On weekdays, he is withdrawn, and he doesn't interact with people much, so he only does some rough work in the house, so no one notices it......
"So, it was lurking many years ago, and the original two roots were replaced?"
Xie Yuncang's words surprised the others, but then they understood after thinking about it, this is the most likely situation, and even the parents of the two roots did not die naturally, otherwise how could it be so coincidental that they happened to die in the same year?
Xie Yuncang's face was ugly, and so did the others.
If it weren't for today's thorough investigation, who would have thought that there would be such a danger hidden in the home that looks safe on weekdays.
An Shi was so frightened that he immediately hid behind Xie Changqing, "Husband, such a person...... Will it ......?"
Her frightened gaze swept over the other servants in the courtyard, "Will there still be?"
In fact, she is not the only one who has such worries, but other people are also nervous, since there is one, how do you know that there is no second?
"Check again! Later, check it twice again, and everyone will be strictly scrutinized, and as for these people, ......."
Old Madam Xie pointed to those who were found to have problems, and said coldly: "None of them are allowed to stay, and if the circumstances are serious, all of them will be escorted to the government and let the yamen come to send them out."
Today, the masters in the house are all there, and seeing that the situation is not good, these people who have committed crimes don't even dare to beg for mercy, and they are all taken down one by one with dead faces.
There was only one maid in front of Xie Qionghua and another person that everyone didn't expect at all.
Peony was different from the others, and when the people in front of her had dispersed, she rushed over with tears on her face and knelt down at the feet of Old Madam Xie, "Old lady, the slave maid is serving in front of you when she is young, what kind of person is the slave and maid, you know best, old lady!" The slave and the maid have been wronged, old lady, you must believe in the slave and the maid!"
Mrs. Xie didn't expect that the maid she trusted the most on weekdays would be found out to be inappropriate at this time.
On weekdays, she would have to defend the people in front of her, but today......
With so many things turned over today, how can she still say the words of maintenance?
In case of......
What if this is another wolf in sheep's clothing?
Therefore, the look on her face didn't move much, and she didn't look at the peony that was crying on the ground, but turned directly to the housekeeper, "What's the matter with her?"
