In the small flower hall, it was terrifyingly quiet at this time.

Not to mention that the maids and women who were waiting looked at each other, even the Xue family looked puzzled.

Mama Cao stared at the brocade box dumbfounded, with a hellish look on her face.

The girl in Tsing Yi behind her took a few steps forward in disbelief, looking at the contents of the brocade box in amazement.

After looking at it for a long time, it seemed that he couldn't believe that what he saw in front of him was not white silver, so he couldn't help but take a few steps forward, walked straight to the table where the brocade box was placed, and quickly stretched out his hand, picked up the contents of the box, and looked at it over and over.

But Rao was that she looked at the contents of the box again and again, and there was still an unbelievable look on her face.

I couldn't help but mutter, this can't be.

Maybe it's dazzling?

Yes, it must be.

The little maid quickly rubbed her eyes with her hand, and then reached for the box again.

Pick up the things in your hand, put them down, pick them up again with another one, and put them down......

The little maid looked at it over and over for a long time, and then she had to be convinced that the things in the box were really not the two hundred taels of white silver!

But she obviously saw her wife hand over two hundred taels of silver to Mama Cao.

She still remembered that at that time, Mama Cao felt that it was easy to drop the silver in the tray, so she specially asked the maid who was waiting beside her to get a brocade box, and put the twenty silver ingots into the box with her own hands.

After leaving the house, she got into the carriage, and Mama Cao handed over the brocade box to her to hold.

When was the case that the contents of the box were dropped?

The little maid wrinkled her eyebrows, and her suspicious eyes looked back and forth between the brocade box and Mama Cao.

I don't know if it was the little girl's movements or the suspicious eyes that stimulated Mama Cao, as soon as she raised her hand, she made a "snap" sound and slapped the maid fiercely.

"Mama, how can you hit me..."The defenseless little girl was stunned by this slap, and came back to her senses for a while, glaring at Mama Cao with tearful eyes.

Bai Guo, who was also a maid, looked at the red and swollen half of the maid's face sympathetically, and said quickly, "That's it, how can Mama Cao beat someone without saying a word, is it because she is annoyed and angry?" ”

"Whoever is annoyed and angry, you explain it to me!" Mama Cao was accused by a maid, and she felt that her face was dull, and she glared at Bai Guo viciously.

Bai Guo was not afraid of her, his hands were on his hips, and he glared back even more fiercely, "Of course it's about you Mama Cao!"

In addition to you, is there a second one named Mama Cao? ”

Without waiting for Mama Cao to answer, Bai Guo immediately said, "Mama Cao started beating people without saying a word, isn't she annoyed and angry, what is it?" ”

"What do you say, you say it again!"

"Just say it," Bai Guo was not afraid of Mama Cao's cannibalistic gaze at all, and said with a disdainful face, "Mama Cao secretly took the money, but used such a box of things to pass off, and tried to fool the pass, so that our wife and young lady would be grateful to you."

Now that the matter has been revealed, he will beat people without saying a word, this is to put the charge of stealing silver on the head of the little girl, right? Isn't this annoyance? ”

The little maid covered her face with her hands and looked at Bai Guo with a grateful expression.

What Bai Guo said was exactly what she was thinking.

Xiao Jinyue glanced at Bai Guo appreciatively, this girl is really getting deeper and deeper in her heart.

Bai Guo was proud in her heart, she used to be fennel to serve the girl closely, and the girls who came in and out only took her with her, and she didn't know how envious she was.

She also wanted to follow the girl, but the girl had never liked the crowd around her, and this time she finally ran into an injury from fennel, so she had the opportunity to serve closely.

In the past two days, she followed the girl, and naturally knew that the girl wanted to divorce Li Gongzi, and today this grandmother came to their house to ridicule and humiliate the lady and the girl in the name of asking for advice for the girl, and she couldn't help it.

Now that she finally got the opportunity, she had to behave well in front of the girl, and she was not afraid of Mama Cao's eagerness to tear her eyes.

Xiao Jinyue didn't seem to see Mama Cao's fierce gaze, and asked with a smile, "Mama Cao, why don't you speak, could it be that my maid said it?" ”

"No, how can your maid spew blood?" Mama Cao gritted her teeth in anger, although she was greedy for money, she was not enough to ignore the two hundred taels.

"Oh, really?" Xiao Jinyue tapped the brocade box on the table with her chin, "Then may I ask Mama Cao, what's going on with the things in this box?" Please make this clear. ”

Mama Cao followed her line of sight, her eyes touched the brocade box, and she was imposing.

What the hell.

The contents of the brocade box were neatly and neatly, no more, no less, just twenty.

The amount is correct.

But the problem is that the twenty silver ingots that were originally white flowers in the brocade box are gone.

Lying inside now were twenty neatly arranged stones about the size of the previous silver ingots!

That's right.

It's a stone!

Twenty white flowers, stones about the size of a silver ingot.

But what she put in with her own hands was obviously a silver ingot with white flowers!

Where did these twenty stones come from?

Could it be that Mrs. Fei gave her a stone, and she was dazzled at the time and saw it as silver?

As soon as this idea came to mind, she immediately denied it again.

Although she is not young, she is not so old that she can't even tell the difference between silver and stone.

She was so sure that what she had received from her lady was indeed the silver.

As for how the silver turned to stone, it must have been dropped when she didn't know it.

But she clearly remembered that after receiving the silver from her wife, she asked the maid to take a brocade box, and put the silver in it with her own hands.

After loading the silver, she directly held the box herself, and it was not until she left the house and got into the carriage that she handed over the brocade box to the little maid to hold.

She remembered that the box had always been under her nose, and the maid should have no chance to drop the bag.

Besides, she doesn't have the guts, after all, the lives of her family are in the hands of her wife, where can she dare to drop the silver.

Xiao Jinyue said unhurriedly, "Mama Cao, can you think clearly, what's going on with this box?" How could silver, which was clearly said to be good, turn into stone? ”

What does this call her? She's all confused now!

Seeing that Mama Cao was speechless, her face was as black as the bottom of a pot, Xiao Jinyue didn't have the slightest sympathy, "Could it be that Mama really dropped the bag?" ”

She can't bear this charge, "No, the old slave swears that he hasn't lost any money!" ”

"No, then Mama should explain what this box stone is about?" Xiao Jinyue paused, and then said, "Mama didn't drop the bag, could it be that this maid can't do it?" ”

The little maid was so frightened that she knelt down, "It's not a slave, it's not a slave..."

Xiao Jinyue nodded, "I don't think this little girl has the courage to drop her bag, could it be... Your lady actually gave a box of stones, not two hundred taels of silver for nothing? ”
