"Maybe you can report it to the Duchess and ask her to help with the search."

"It's useless, if the whole house goes to look for it with great fanfare, you can only find a scapegoat in the end, and outsiders will talk about my small belly and chicken intestines, and toss my elderly mother for a few beads."

"How's that to be?

Su Qingyan's fingertips tapped lightly on the tabletop, and he tapped a few times before he spoke: "Human nature is greedy, there are so many treasures in the wooden box, Liu Yujiao must be thinking about more than those few beads." As long as we deliberately let our guard down and pretend that we don't know anything, we can arrest her sooner or later. ”

"Yes, I see."

The sky in the side courtyard had completely darkened, and Liu Yujiao did not light the gambling candle, but neatly arranged the four night pearls that came by hand at the head of the bed.

These beads are the largest in the box, and each one can catch up with the fist of an adult man, compared to the one that Zhao Jingwen gave before, it looks shabby.

Liu Yujiao picked up one of them with a smile and couldn't put it down, "It's a pity that such a good thing is given to Su Qingyan as a dowry, only I can be worthy of such a precious bead." ”

Knock knock ......, she was basking in the warm glow of the night pearl, when there was a sudden knock on the door.

"Miss, is it convenient for the slave to come in?"

It's her personal handmaid.

Liu Yujiao relaxed her vigilance, "Come in." ”

The door was pushed open, and the maid walked to the side of the bed with a bowl of soothing soup, "Miss, it's time for you to take the decoction and rest." ”

"I've slept peacefully these days, I don't need to drink these bitter medicine soups, take them and pour them."

"But the doctor said, you have to drink for half a month to recover, and now there are a few days left, I'm afraid that all your efforts will be wasted..."

The maid was so frightened that she knelt on the ground with a 'poof', and half of the medicinal soup was scattered, "The slave knows that she is wrong, and she doesn't dare anymore." ”

"It's good to know your mistakes, let me ask you, after my aunt sent the dowry slip to Chaolu Courtyard, what happened over there?"

"No, after Concubine Su read it, she ordered someone to lock the list in the box and didn't say anything."

Liu Yujiao secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

She guessed that the slut wouldn't take a closer look, and now that she thought about it, she really regretted that she had only taken a few beads, and that she should have stolen more jewelry.

"Okay, I know, you go out first."

"Yes."

"Wait." The maid was about to get up, but was stopped by Liu Yujiao, "How many guards are there in the treasury now?" ”

"Madame sent two servants to keep an eye on it."

Only two? Isn't this God rushing to make her rich?

Liu Yujiao coughed lightly, and the smile on the corner of her mouth couldn't be stopped, "You go down." ”

The maid couldn't understand what medicine she was selling in her gourd, but she thought the woman was moody, like a terrible ghost. "Yes, the slave and maid are gone."

This is not the first time Su Qingyan has spent the night in the Guogong Mansion, but this sleep always feels very unsteady.

The next morning, she lifted the futon and examined it carefully, but found no clues.

Yi Huan walked into the room with hot water, "Concubine Su, what are you looking for?" ”

"When I sleep, I always feel that there are bugs crawling on my body, and it itches everywhere, and the more I scratch it, the more uncomfortable it becomes.

"What? Let me see. Yi Huan walked up to Su Qingyan, uncovered her clothes and looked at her, "Concubine Su, you do have a lot of small red rashes on your body, it can't be that you have eaten something unclean, right?" ”

"No, I didn't eat indiscriminately yesterday."

"This is strange, is it because I am used to sleeping on the bedding of Sufu, and I suddenly changed to a bed, so I don't fit in?"

"Maybe it's really been pampered for a long time, and even the skin has become so squeamish. Forget it, you take out the sheets and quilts to dry in a while, maybe it'll be fine at night. ”

Yi Huan followed Su Qingyan's instructions, took all the things on the bed and exposed them to the sun, and then turned around and went back to the room, "Concubine Su, you can't leave the mansion recently, if there is any problem with business, do you want the people in charge to come to the Guogong Mansion to discuss?" ”

"They discuss and solve small problems by themselves, and if there is really any trouble that can't be handled, come back to me." The Chamber of Commerce is getting bigger and bigger, and it can't just throw it at her for a little trivial thing.

"Well, I'll ask Xie Ying to explain to the shops later."

It wasn't long before the wedding day, and the Guogong Mansion went up to Zhao Jingwen and down to the maids, all of them were busy Zhang Luo's happy event, red lanterns and decals were everywhere, and they felt festive when they looked at it.

In the evening, Yao Guogong came back from outside the mansion, accompanied by Lu Tianhui, who had not seen him all night.

"Daddy, Tianhui, why did you come back together?"

"After Su Ye went down to court, he stopped my carriage and said that he was going to come to the Guogong Mansion for a meal, and I guessed that he must be missing you and wanted to find an excuse to meet you."

Su Qingyan touched his nose and looked up at Lu Tianhui.

Receiving his wife's eyes, a smile appeared on Lu Tianhui's cold face, "Look at your eyes are a little blue, didn't you sleep well last night?" ”

"I was busy cutting happy characters with the maids, and I accidentally delayed the time and slept a little late." Yao Guogong is still here, she can't say that she didn't sleep well because she recognized the bed.

"You are pregnant now, don't be too tired, it's never too late to cut the happy word, don't be tired yourself."

Yao Guogong echoed: "What Master Su said is right, you need to rest now." ”

"I wrote down Daddy's advice, and it won't be like this in the future."

"Well, Master Su and I have some government affairs to discuss, you can go back to the courtyard first."

"Okay."

Su Qingyan and Lu Tianhui exchanged glances, turned around and went back to Chaolu Courtyard, and about half an hour later, a certain man also walked into the courtyard in a grand manner.

"I haven't seen each other all night, and my wife has become a lot stranger to me, which really makes my husband sad."

"Has Master Su forgotten the rules of the beam? Do not see each other one month before the wedding, otherwise it will collide with the happy event. ”

"I don't believe that." Lu Tianhui stepped forward a few times and hugged her into his arms, "Your hands are only good at making meals, and you have never cut any happy words, why didn't you sleep well last night?" ”

Unexpectedly, he still remembered this matter until now, Su Qingyan couldn't help but laugh and said: "Actually, it's nothing, it's just that I'm used to living a good life in Su Mansion, and people have become squeamish, and I suddenly changed my bed to sleep, and I didn't feel comfortable." ”

"This matter is easy to solve, I will have someone move the bed in Su Mansion later."

"Don't, I don't want to be ridiculed for putting up Concubine Su's shelf, the futon has already been carried out by Yihuan to dry, so there won't be any uncomfortable feelings tonight."

"That's good, I just hope you don't wronged yourself."

"Don't worry, I, Su Qingyan, am not a soft persimmon, how can I make myself uncomfortable."

"Yes."

Su Qingyan was overwhelmed by him, and pushed slightly, "It's not early, you can go back to Su Mansion quickly." ”

"Can I stay here tonight?"

"I can't."

Lu Tianhui buried his face in her neck dissatisfied, and his tone was mixed with a little flattery, "But I can't sleep well in Su Mansion alone." ”

"You're not a three-year-old doll, how can you not sleep soundly." Su Qingyan raised his hand and patted him on the back, and said comfortingly, "Okay, the rules set by the ancestors can't be followed, you can go back to the mansion earlier, and come to see me when you have time." ”

“…… All right. Lu Tianhui reluctantly let go of her, and stepped out of the yard with flying clothes.
