Zhuang Niangzi checked it for a while before she finished checking all the white powder, rouge and gouache.

She said to the Jiang clan with a solemn face: "Mrs. An, these things are all inferior. ”

She paused, pointed to the split boxes of white powder, rouge and gouache, and then said: "This pile is all toxic, it will be disfigured if you use it, and all of them here are inferior and will be allergic when used, and the skin will be uncomfortable and itchy, and there will be no problems in a short time, and it will make the skin rough and aging if you use it for a long time." ”

Jiang was in a cold sweat No wonder her face was always inexplicably itchy during this time, I thought it was caused by the gradually hot weather, but I didn't expect that she was almost disfigured, at this moment she was very grateful to Lin Yanyun for proposing to investigate the matter thoroughly, otherwise she would not have a face.

Not only her, Yu Lan, and An Shi'an were all startled, everyone thought that Lin Yanyun did this, but they didn't expect a big turnaround.

The Jiang family couldn't suppress the anger, and after politely letting Zhuang Niangzi go, he gave a furious order: "Call the warehouse manager!" ”

Liu's mother, the warehouse manager, came after a while, and she purchased all these things, and the maid was responsible for transporting and counting them in the warehouse.

Jiang asked Liu's mother: "What's the matter with these things!" ”

Mother Liu had a clear conscience, she really didn't do anything and replied without panic at all: "Madam, every one of these things has an account, and there is no reason for the slave to pass your eyes on shoddy." ”

After the words fell, Liu's mother handed over the account to the Jiang family, and the Jiang family did not believe these superficial efforts, and scribbled over the account book.

This kind of eating inside and outside is not uncommon.

An Shi'an instructed: "Go and invite the shopkeeper who sells these rouge gouaches." ”

The stone commander immediately went out to run errands.

Jiang Shi angrily reprimanded the two: "These things, only the two of you have done it, not who the two of you are!" It's a good thing to eat inside and outside, and look at the white-eyed wolf in Jingyang who has your monthly salary and can't feed it. ”

The kneeling maid bowed her head weakly, her fingers trembling, and she was overwhelmed with fear.

Mother Liu didn't panic at all, and said stiffly: "Madam, the slave and maid have not done anything, if the wife does not believe you to report to the official for investigation, the slave and maid also have a clear conscience." ”

At this time, the shopkeeper came, An Shi'an asked him to identify whether these things were sold by their family, and the shopkeeper shook his head and said: "These things, I have never sold them in my shop, although they are imitated well, they are all inferior, and they cannot be used on the face. ”

"Businessmen pay the most attention to integrity, and I can't cut myself off, lift a stone to shoot myself in the foot and damage my reputation, to seriously say that these problematic rouge gouache has violated the law of my dynasty, I suggest that my wife should report it to the official to deal with it."

An Shi'an saw that the shopkeeper didn't look like a lie, so he said, "Just report it to the official." ”

The panicked maid couldn't hold back any longer, and her tears flowed down in fear and begged for mercy: "Madam, the slave is wrong, the slave and the maid deserve death, beg the wife, uncle, don't let the slave and maid go to court, the slave and the maid are wrong, and the slave and the maid will definitely change." ”

If you go to the court, you will definitely be beaten half to death, and the people who torture you are not ghosts or ghosts, and the thought of this maid is terrified.

Jiang slapped the table angrily and pointed at the maid and scolded: "Okay, you wolf-hearted thing, you are murdering for money!" ”

The maid cried and said, "The slave and maid are wrong, the parents at home are seriously ill, and they have no money to treat the slave and maid, so they start to think of a good one, and take out the good rouge gouache and sell it for money to treat the family." ”

"The slave didn't want to hurt people, the people who sold these things to me said that the effect was not good, and there would be no danger if they were used, so the slave and maid believed it, and the wife and slave really didn't want to hurt people......"

The maid kowtowed and confessed: "Ask uncle, Mrs. spare the slave and maid this time, and the slave and maid will not dare again." ”

Jiang blushed angrily and asked angrily: "Who is the person who sold your things, find her for me!"

"It's from Gumu Village, a Taoist aunt, surnamed Chen Nuwen only knows this."

An Shi'an immediately ordered Shi Shi to find this Dao girl.

The maid kept begging for mercy, but Jiang was angry and slapped her in person.

"You slut is trying to kill us all!"

The maid cried vigorously, and now she had no choice but to beg for mercy.

After a while, Shi hurriedly came back and reported: "Mrs., uncle, Aunt Dao is dead, and the people in the village said that they went to the mountains to pick up fungi and was hit by a wild boar and died." ”

An Shi'an, I feel that this aunt is a little strange, and the matter has already come to light, he ordered: "Send people to the yamen, and let them check again." ”

Stone: "Yes." ”

The maid's heart-rending shouts for help were to no avail and she was dragged down.

Jiang patted his frightened heart and said luckily: "Fortunately, Yanyun asked me to investigate this matter thoroughly, otherwise my face would have been ruined." ”

Lin Yanyun was overjoyed, this matter had already made the Jiang family and An Shi'an have a different opinion of her.

"Madam, this is what a poor concubine should do."

Jiang couldn't help but soften his gaze when he looked at Lin Yanyun.

Yu Lan had a sense of crisis in her heart, and she obviously felt that Lin Yanyun had begun to hide the knife secretly.....

She was floating in her heart and was faintly uneasy, and sent the maid to the palace to let An Qien come back.

Yu Lan didn't believe that this matter had nothing to do with Lin Yanyun, but all the evidence so far proved that she had cleared herself.

An Qien was reading a book in the study, and Qingbi picked up the curtain and came in to report the matter: "Princess, something happened to Anfu." ”

An Qien was stunned, and his eyes lifted from the book to look at Qingbi.

Qingbi continued: "Does the princess remember that there is a problem with the white powder used on the wedding day? ”

"What's wrong?"

"Now that the house has found out that it is the maid in the treasury who has transferred the bag, and the matter has been reported to the yamen for shoddy, Mrs. An Shao feels that this matter is not so simple, and wants you to go back and talk to you."

An Qien put down the book, she didn't expect that there would be a reversal in this matter.

Then I went to Anfu.

After coming to Anfu, she learned about her brother and sister-in-law sleeping in separate rooms, Yu Lan was full of sorrow, and could only talk to An Qien to relieve the depression in her heart.

She lamented: "Sister, you don't know that she has changed as if she has changed during this time, not only to please her mother in everything, but also to her uncle, recently she has been waiting for her uncle in the middle gate every day, what do you say she wants to do?" ”

An Qien heard Yu Lan's jealousy, and the reason why she was so sad was that she was worried that during the time of the separation, An Shi'an would have a relationship with Lin Yanyun.

Although Lin Yanyun is An Shi'an's concubine, it is normal for him to go to Lin Yanyun's place to live or have something between men and women.

But when she thought of the man who was entangled with her, and did what he did to her, to other women, she felt all kinds of bad in her heart.

An Qien listened to it for a long time, and there was nothing suspicious about the white powder matter for the time being, and this matter had been reported to the official and was waiting for the yamen to deal with it.

She can't care about sleeping in a separate room, first of all, she is a married daughter, and it is generally not her turn to interfere in the affairs of her mother's family, and this matter is requested by the Jiang family, An Shi'an is a dutiful son, and since he agreed, he will not regret it.

She had no choice but to comfort Yu Lan: "Sister-in-law, rest assured that my brother knows your goodness in his heart." ”

Yu Lan is still worried, men are the most uncertain, Lin Yanyun is a restless person, what she is most afraid of is that Lin Yanyun is rushing to seduce An Shi'an.

She can't say these sour things, otherwise she will have a reputation for jealousy.

She could only smile lightly and said, "Now, I just hope that this child will be born safely." ”

The topic was much more relaxed, and the two chatted about some cheerful topics, and Yu Lan was in a much better mood.

Coming out of Yu Lanna, Lin Yanyun went to An Shi An, and just happened to see An Shi'an and Lin Yanyun coming out of the house.

On the surface, the relationship between the two has eased.

An Shi'an didn't know that An Qien was coming, so he was obviously taken aback, and then asked enthusiastically with a smile: "When did my sister come, why didn't anyone pass me on." ”

"Brother, I've been here for a while, chatting with my sister-in-law for a while, and I was about to go back when I thought that since I came, I would say hello to my brother and leave."

An Qien's tone replied as usual.

"Blessed is the princess."

Lin Yanyun respectfully bowed his knees and said hello.

An Qien lifted his eyelids and glanced at her lightly.

An Shi'an said enthusiastically: "Why are you going to leave in a while, accompany my brother to finish eating and then go back." ”

"Okay." An Qien smiled slightly.

An Shi'an immediately ordered the small kitchen to prepare An Qien's favorite dishes, and Lin Yanyun said very interestingly: "The poor concubine retired first." ”

An Qien also felt that Lin Yanyun was like a different person now, and she didn't believe that Lin Yanyun would have true feelings for her brother.

Although Lin's death was self-inflicted, most of the evidence in it was found by his brother, so that Lin had no excuse, and finally apologized with death.

A normal woman would not have feelings for a man who indirectly let her mother die, let alone Lin Yanyun.

She used to love the prince, and she wanted to be the princess, even if she was a person who knew the times and was a handsome.

An Qien also didn't believe that she had no other motives.

The small kitchen prepared a good meal, and the family sat around the original solid wooden table, and Jiang couldn't close his mouth to give An Qien food.

At the dinner table, the Jiang family kept talking about the white powder, and finally said in conclusion: "Aunt Lin's child is also pitiful now, it's not her fault to have such a mother, she is a young lady and now she is reduced to a concubine, and her life of trembling every day is really difficult for her." ”

She sighed and continued: "She has been honest since she came to the house, and today is thanks to her, otherwise my face and Lan'er's face will be gone, and she can be regarded as making up for it." ”

The Jiang family paused, looked at Yu Lan and continued: "Lan'er, she is just a concubine, you can get along in harmony in the future, forget the previous things." ”

"Yes, Mother." Yu Lan bowed her head respectfully in response.

An Qien knows the Jiang family's temperament, and she is soft-hearted and loves to give opportunities to those who make mistakes, as long as it is not too much, it is not a matter for her.

So as a concubine, she has been treated like a concubine over the years.
