The next day, Fang Xu stayed in the house, boredly checking the ledger.

"Ma'am." Bai Ji walked into the room with a smile on his face, "The injury on Suzi's face has disappeared a lot, and his body has some strength, and he is clamoring to come back to serve." ”

Fang Xu flipped through the ledger and said softly, "Just let her come back when she is better, I don't have anything urgent here." ”

Bai Ji smiled on his face, "The slave maid already knew that Madame would say this, so she refused at that time. ”

Fang Xu nodded, "You have been with me alone these days, just learning things." ”

"Yes." Bai Ji took two steps forward and smiled, "Su Zi also often says that slaves and maids should sharpen their temperament. ”

"Husband... Madame, please have tea ......"

On one side, the little maid walked up to Fang Xu with a tray and handed over hot tea.

Fang Xu recognized her as the maid who was newly brought up yesterday, and seeing that she was extremely nervous, he couldn't help but look at her a few more times.

His gaze fell on her slightly reddened fingertips, Fang Xu raised his eyebrows slightly, and opened his mouth to ask, "What's your name?" ”

The little maid seemed to be taken aback, knelt on the ground with the tray, and said in a trembling voice, "Slave... Slaves...... Qinglian. ”

"Qinglian, it's a good name." Fang Xuzhu's lips opened lightly, and he read slowly, "Who brought you up?" ”

"Mrs. Hui... The slave is ...... Sister Bai Ji was chosen to serve his wife. Qinglian's little face was pale, and her voice was like a mosquito.

Hearing this, Fang Xu turned his head to look at Bai Ji.

Sensing Madame's gaze, Bai Ji grinned, "Madam, it was the slave maid who mentioned her, and among the bunch of maids, she was the most honest, and the slave and maid saw that she didn't have a bad heart, so she brought it up." ”

Fang Xu nodded and looked at Qinglian, "I'm fine, you go down first." ”

Qinglian lowered her head and whispered, "Yes, madam." ”

The words fell, and he fled away.

"Madame, look." Bai Ji pointed to her back and smiled, "It's like a frightened bird!" ”

"Even if it's a bird, there will be times when it pecks." Fang Xu looked as usual, twisted the pages of the book, and turned them gently.

When Bai Ji heard this, the smile on the corner of his mouth froze, "Madam, what do you mean by this?" ”

Fang Xu raised his eyes, looked at her fixedly, and said softly, "Do you remember that Princess Zhan gave me a box of ambergris rouge before?" ”

Bai Ji lowered his eyes and pondered, and nodded after a while, "The slave remembers that the lady said that the rouge is priceless, and the life is good to survive, and the slave and maid remember...... It was put by the slave and the maid! ”

"Do you remember where you put it?" Fang Xu stared at her, chuckling lightly.

"Remember!" Bai Ji walked quickly to the side room, opened the bottom drawer, and pulled out a wooden box, "The slave and maid are placed in the ......"

"Where's Rouge!"

Seeing that there was nothing in the box, Bai Ji was so frightened that he froze in place, and the blood on his face faded instantly, "Husband...... Madam! ”

Fang Xu smiled at the corner of his mouth, raised his eyebrows and asked, "Gone?" ”

Bai Ji's voice was dyed with crying, holding the wooden box at a loss, "Madam, it's over, the thing was lost by the slave!" ”

"This rouge ......" Bai Ji sniffed and bit his lower lip, "Isn't ten Bai Ji not enough to pay?" ”

"Out of breath." Fang Xu chuckled lightly and glared at her with disgust, "Don't worry, don't sell it for nothing." ”

Bai Ji still looked remorseful, "This rouge is very expensive, it's all because of the stupid brains of the slave maid!" ”

"It's stupid, but it's not your fault." Fang Xu lowered his eyes and looked at the account book, and said quietly.

Bai Ji felt even more guilty, "Madame doesn't have to comfort the slave and maid, it's a big deal that the slave and maid don't collect the monthly money...... Make a cow and a horse for you for a lifetime! ”

Fang Xu glanced at her, and broke her self-pity and self-love in a loud voice, "Save it, it's not you who lost it, it's Chengyuan who has entered the thief." ”

"Thief?" Bai Ji paused, combined with Mrs. Fangcai's words, and vaguely guessed the answer, "Madam is talking about Qinglian?" ”

Fang Xu didn't look at her, his voice was soft, "Ambergris rouge is heavy in color, and it is not easy to clean, even if it is rubbed hard, there is a faint pink, and the nails of the little girl are abnormally red." ”

When Bai Ji heard this, he was instantly emotional, "This black-hearted eighth son!" The slave has to kill this hoof! ”

"Don't worry, what if I guessed wrong?" Fang Xu stopped her and said softly.

"Impossible!" Bai Ji stiffened his neck, "When did Madame miss it?" ”

Fang Xu couldn't help laughing, and said with a smile, "You wait, just release the news that Chengyuan was robbed and cause her to panic, and at that time, she will show her feet." ”

Bai Ji's eyes lit up when he heard this, "Yes, the slave will go!" ”

After a while, Chengyuan was completely lively, and the families rushed to tell each other, and even Liu Fanyin, who had never liked to go out, was alarmed.

"I heard that Chengyuan lost valuables, and Madame ordered a thorough investigation of the house!"

"Huh? Something missing! ”

"I don't know, I just heard that it was given by the princess of war, and it is worth a fortune!"

"If you want to be caught, it's a thief, but it's a stab."

The voice came into Qinglian's ears, and her face, which was not much blood, suddenly turned pale, her body trembled violently, and she subconsciously pushed away the person on her body.

"What do you do?" The man was panting heavily, and was about to make the next move, when she was abruptly interrupted, and his face was suddenly displeased.

Qinglian's voice trembled, her body was close to the rockery, she held back her fear, and whispered, "Didn't you hear?" Madame is going to check on us! ”

The man lost interest, scolded and fastened his belt, and said in a low voice, "Look at your guts! There are so many people in Houfu, how can they find you so accurately? ”

Qinglian straightened her collar and said in a low voice, "I'm going to be up and down in my heart, let's do it cleanly!" ”

The man sneered, and the probe kissed Qinglian on the face, with a joke in his eyes, "Cheng, listen to you." ”

Qinglian's face turned red, and there were tears on her eyelashes, she raised her hand and slapped him gently, urging in a low voice, "Hurry up." ”

After the words fell, he straightened out his clothes, wiped away his tears, and walked out of the rockery quickly.

The man looked at her back and snorted coldly, "It looks like a wilted eggplant, but it's so spicy!" ”

After a few moments, the man left the rockery.

After about two pillars of incense, two figures appeared at the back door of the Houfu, which happened to be Qinglian and Fang Cai's man.

"Hurry up!" Qinglian threw a package on the man and urged in a low voice, "Hurry up and get these things out!" ”

The man weighed his weight, hooked his lips and smiled, "It's okay this time, I got a lot of goods, and I deserve to be the one who entered the lady's yard!" ”

"Less poor mouth!" Qinglian glared at him and said softly, "Let's get out quickly!" ”

"Got it." The man sat on the cart and threw his things into the empty barrel on the side, "Accompany my brother more next time." ”

Qinglian's face flushed, and she kept silent, but her expression was particularly seductive.

Just as the two were about to leave, a female voice sounded not far away.

"You two, where do you want to go?"
