As soon as he heard this, the atmosphere in the dining room froze suddenly.

Yu Wenyuan keenly sensed some undercurrents, looked up at Aunt Hui, and then glanced at Shang Ruyi with her flickering gaze, and asked, "What's wrong?"

Shang Ruyi immediately said, "Dad, there is something that my daughter-in-law has never had time to report, and I should let you know that my mother's funeral is over today."

After that, she told the story of the theft of the teahouse.

The more Yu Wenyuan listened, the tighter his brows tightened.

And Yu Wenye has been lost in the wake of his soul for a few days, and he didn't know what happened in the tea room, but now when he heard Shang Ruyi say, he also frowned and said, "Why didn't you tell me?"

Shang Ruyi said softly, "What was your situation in those days...... I don't want you to worry about it anymore."

Yu Wenye said, "But—"

He didn't finish his words, this time it was Yu Wenyuan who interrupted him and asked, "Ruyi, why did you let Chang Wan be locked up? Do you think she stole it?"

Shang Ruyi shook his head and said, "Locking up Changyun is just an expedient measure. At that time, there were many guests, some came to mourn for their mothers, and some later congratulated their husbands, no matter what, it was a decent thing; Although the theft of the teahouse is a trivial matter, it is not dedignified, and if it spreads, the face of our government will be ruined."

Yu Wenyuan nodded, "You did the right thing."

Aunt Hui on the side said with a smile: "The young lady is indeed a young man, and she solved the matter as soon as she came. It's just that the cups can't be retrieved, and today we can only take other cups for the national government."

Yu Wenyuan glanced down at the white porcelain cup in his hand and frowned slightly.

Shang Ruyi said, "It's not necessarily that you can't find it."

「……？！」

As soon as I heard this, the atmosphere in the dining room changed again.

Even Yu Wencheng, who had been eating with his head down, raised his head and looked at her at this time: "Second sister-in-law, how do you know where the cup is?"

Aunt Hui said, "Could it be that the young lady is going to search the mansion now?"

Shang Ruyi smiled, shook his head and said, "I said in the teahouse that day that I wanted to search the mansion, but so many days have passed, how can the person who took the cup not worry about being searched, but I'm afraid that it will be dealt with a long time ago, and if I search it again at this time, where can I find it?"

Aunt Hui said, "If you don't search, how can you find it back?"

Shang Ruyi looked up at the sky outside again, and then said, "It seems that Aunt Hui is also not at ease, so let's search it, everyone will be suspicious." There's no need to make a big fuss, since you suspect that Chang Wan stole something, let's go to her house and search it."

As she spoke, she glanced up at Yu Wenyuan: "Dad......

Yu Wenyuan waved his hand quietly: "Let your people go."

"Yes."

Shang Ruyi turned around and instructed Tu She'er and Wo Xue, and the two of them immediately turned around and went down, and came back after a meal, and Tu She'er replied, "I have searched Chang Wan's residence carefully, and there is indeed no cup."

Wo Xue said: "The slave maid has even cut the cracks in the wall, and there are no loose bricks."

There will be such a thief in the big family of Houmen, and it is not easy to shoot when the wind is tight when stealing something, so he finds a hidden place to loosen the brick and cut off a piece, hide the stolen things in it, and then seal the brick back, seamlessly, and it is difficult to find it when the search is dirty. ….

Unexpectedly, this girl knows this.

Shang Ruyi glanced at her, nodded with a smile, and then turned to Yu Wenyuan and said, "As soon as the matter came out, the daughter-in-law asked Chang Wan to be locked in the firewood room, if she really stole it, it would be too late to hide it, let alone deal with it, so at least half of the charges on her body can be cleared."

Yu Wenyuan said, "It turns out that you immediately let people lock her up for this."

Shang Ruyi said: "Dad, please rest assured, my daughter-in-law didn't let people abuse her, and the tea and dinner were still sent over these days, but the weather was cold, and she still suffered a little."

Yu Wenyuan waved his hand: "Let's go and release people in a while."

Aunt Hui sighed, "Although she is innocent, someone else will do it. It's a pity that it's dragged on for so many days, that man

I'm afraid I've already disposed of it, and I'm afraid it's hard to get that cup back."

Shang Ruyi said, "Aunt Hui, don't worry, since the cup is my father's favorite thing, then I have to try my best to get it back as a junior."

Aunt Hui smiled, "Really? How is the young lady going to find it?"

Shang Ruyi said, "I'm looking for it."

"Huh?"

Aunt Hui was stunned, and several people at the table were also stunned, Yu Wenye glanced back at her, and suddenly seemed to think of something, turned her head to look outside the dining room, and the people who usually followed him were all gone at this time.

Yu Wenye's eyes flickered, and he immediately understood.

Aunt Hui said, "The young lady said that she was looking for something, what do you mean? Is there anyone searching in this house at the moment?"

Shang Ruyi shook his head and said, "Aunt Hui also said just now, so many days have passed, and the person who took the cup has already disposed of the things in order to prevent me from searching the house, so if you want to find it, you can only look for it outside."

"Outside?"

Hearing this, Yu Wenyuan was also puzzled: "The sky and the earth are big outside, how to find it."

Shang Ruyi was about to say something, when suddenly, there was a rush of footsteps outside, and when she looked back, her face immediately lit up: "Found it!"

Everyone turned their heads to look out, only to see Mu Xian hurrying over, walking to the door of the dining room, and bowing to the people inside: "Meet the Duke of the Kingdom."

Yu Wenyuan squinted his eyes slightly, looking at him holding a page in his hand.

So he asked, "What do you have in your hand?"

Mu Xian hurriedly put the piece of paper in his hand, Yu Wenyuan took it, squinted his eyes slightly, and it turned out to be a ripped off bill, with only two simple lines of words on it, and read: "Metropolis South Street A Dengfeng, the twenty-sixth of the lunar month, lose a cup in tatters......

Speaking of this, he angrily lit the bill and scolded, "This is nonsense. Why is it so bad?"

Shang Ruyi glanced at it from a distance, and said with a smile: "Dad, don't be angry with those idlers in the market, that cup is something from the kiln, and the tribute of the pawnshop will not be mistaken if he has no eyesight." It's just that they see that it is a good thing, and they are sure that the people who eat it do not dare to redeem it, so in order to reduce the price, they deliberately say that the thing is in tatters."

Yu Wenyuan looked up at her from the bill: "Ruyi, you even know about the pawnshop?"

「……」

Shang Ruyi suddenly felt a little embarrassed - after all, he was also from a famous family, and the famous lady really shouldn't know too much about money, especially this kind of unpopular pawnshop, so he could only say perfunctorily: "I heard it from my family before." ….

Yu Wenye turned back to Yu Wenyuan and said, "I also mentioned this to her."

Shang Ruyi glanced up at him, didn't speak, and only lowered his head slightly.

Yu Wenyuan didn't care about this undercurrent, and continued to look at the bill, and said, "What a bastard, just thirty taels of silver!"

At this time, he was not angry that things were stolen and treated, but even more angry that his beloved thing Pearl was dusty and abandoned by others, fortunately Yu Wenye was relieved on the side and said: "Didn't Ruyi say it just now, people just know that it is a good thing, so they deliberately lower the price."

Yu Wenyuan was angry for a moment, and looked up at Mu Xian again: "Why did you only take this bill back? Where's the stuff?"

Mu Xian said: "It was ordered by the young lady, let us take the money to look at the cup first, and confirmed that it was the Yue Yao cup that Guogong lost, but only took the money to buy this bill, and the cup did not move for the time being."

Yu Wenyuan frowned slightly, and turned his head to look at Shang Ruyi: "What does this mean?"

Shang Ruyi smiled: "It's easy to redeem the cup, but if you redeem it, the pawnshop has written off the account, and you can't find who really took the cup."

"Oh?"

Yu Wenyuan also seemed to understand something, raised his hand and handed her the bill, and didn't say anything more, only motioned for her to continue, Shang Ruyi took the bill, and glanced at it hastily, in fact, the information that Yu Wenyuan read out just now was already the most important information, and there was nothing worth looking at again. So he looked up at Aunt Hui and smiled, "I'm tired of Aunt Hui, take the tea."

Call all the people in the room."

Aunt Hui glanced at her, didn't say anything, turned around and called in person.

After a while, several people serving in the tea room came to the dining room.

Obviously, the noble uncle was already covered in cold sweat, and when he walked in, he tripped over the threshold and almost fell.

Shang Ruyi looked at a few of them, and then said: "The theft of the teahouse that day, I think you still remember, I said at the time, dig three feet into the ground to find out the cup, and now the whereabouts of the cup have been known, but who took it out, when it was given to the Dengfeng on Dunan Street, someone has to come out to recognize it."

She paused, but no one spoke.

Shang Ruyi said gently: "Whoever admits it, he should only turn himself in, although he is thrown out of the house and no longer hired, but there is no good punishment; But if you don't admit it, you are determined to be a thief, and since you are a thief, you have to be punished."

Look at me, look at you, those little maids, I'll look at you.

Some people were surprised, some people were frightened, and the tallest uncle couldn't wait to shrink his head into his shoulders at this time, and the whole person curled up in a ball.

After glancing at them, but no one answered, Shang Ruyi sighed, and said with some disappointment, "Since that's the case, then I'll name them directly."

Aunt Hui said on the side, "Young lady, this bill only records things and money, and no names, how do you know who it is?"

Shang Ruyi smiled, "Of course I do."

After speaking, she turned her head and said, "Hu Hua."

As soon as the words fell, the little guy standing in the crowd suddenly showed a shocked expression, he looked at Shang Ruyi in surprise and said, "Young lady, although the little one is serving in the tea room, he has never had unclean hands and feet; Besides, there is no small name on the pawnshop's account, why does the young lady say it is me?"

Shang Ruyi said: "Although there is no your name on the account, your name is written between the lines."

That Hu Hua was confused when he heard it, and only said, "The young lady's words, the little one has never read and can't understand them. In short, if there is no evidence, the small one will die here, and he will not be able to admit it!"
