Chapter 82: Thieves are hard to prevent
"Girl, you say~~~" The little girl who followed Meng Jiangying's side just walked into the side hall, and asked anxiously: "Is the painting lost?" β
The voice was extremely low, and the words were extremely suspicious: "It stands to reason that it won't be, the mother will see that painting as if it were fate~~"
"Who knows if it's true or not!" Meng Jiangying's little face was extremely tight, and she threw her cloak on the ground as soon as she entered the side hall: "She is so careful to prevent me, she will suspect me if she loses the first one!"
That's it, and he keeps saying that he sees me like his own daughter! β
"The girl is right, but if you really treat the girl as your own, you should also see the appearance of the painting, I can't say that you can enter the fairyland!" The little girl sighed with regret: "If this is really lost, it is estimated that the girl will never have a chance again." β
"Smack!" Meng Jiangying stretched out her hand and swept the kettle on the table in front of her to the ground, her face was ugly: "She treats me as a maid!" It's useful to kiss the girl, it's useless, it's not as good as a girl, my aunt is right, she just makes fun of me to relieve boredom! β
Since Meng Jiangying entered the palace, Meng Ruyi has always asked her to accompany her, serve her with food, make tea and make snacks, and the most excessive thing is that she can't sleep in the middle of the night, and will let her read to help her sleep.
At the beginning, she also felt that her aunt was kind to her, and she was reluctant to leave her for a moment.
Later, she gradually felt that it was not a taste, although her father was not the head of the family in the Meng family, she was a little lady who was born out of her, and she was pampered in the palm of her hand.
When she entered the palace, because Meng Ruyi's identity could not be too public, she only brought a little girl into the palace, and she had to do many things herself, which was nothing.
What made her most angry was that when she first entered the palace, her aunt promised her to Cai Xiang's son, and she also quietly went out of the palace to see people, and secretly promised her heart.
Who would have thought that before she could finish the sentence, the aunt suddenly changed her mind, and went straight to the eldest lady, and actually wanted to give her to the prince Zhao Huan, the eldest lady said that Zhao Huan had already set up someone, and it was not easy to change, and the aunt actually wanted to let her enter the East Palace to be the prince Liangdi!
Prince Liangdi: What is that?
The name is good, but it's just a concubine, if the prince Zhao Huan doesn't like the daughter of the Zhu family who is engaged, then it doesn't matter if she intervenes.
The problem is that the daughter of the Zhu family was taken by the prince, and he personally begged the eldest lady to order it!
The daughter of the Zhu family is extremely beautiful, she has no chance of winning with her, and she has a very strong relationship with the prince, that is, she is pregnant, Xu Liangdi, who was carried into the palace, has been in the palace for more than half a year, and she has not seen the face of the prince yet!
She is a good lover and doesn't do it, she goes to be a concubine for the prince, and she is still a concubine who knows that she will not be favored, how much water does she have to put in her head to agree?
If the Meng family really treats her as their own daughter, how can they open their mouths?
Thinking of Cai Ying, Meng Jiangying only felt a faint pain in her heart, when she was engaged to marry him, the two of them went to the Taoist temple together to learn from Meng's scriptures, her person is as gentle as jade, humble and gentleman, considerate and meticulous, when she sees her, her ears will be red, and she doesn't even dare to look directly!
At that time, she was wholeheartedly connected.
She originally thought that when she met this beloved, she would have nothing to ask for in her life, but who would have expected her aunt to make such a crooked move, so that Cai Yan has never seen her alone since then.
Meng Jiangying sighed, she finally persuaded her aunt to dispel the idea of sending herself to the East Palace to be a good woman, but she also completely lost Cai Ying's heart, he directly refused the verbal marriage to his aunt, and climbed to Emperor Mingde in a blink of an eye.
Auntie, this is really stealing chickens and rice!
used to hang Cai Yan with himself, so that he would be loyal to the old party, and then he denied the marriage as soon as he turned his head, and promised himself to someone else, and whoever he was, it was impossible for him to use it calmly for her anymore!
Meng Jiangying never blamed Cai Yan for not admitting the original marriage, she only blamed her aunt for being Long Wangshu, and she was responsible for Cai Yan first!
"Originally, the maid didn't dare to say more, for fear of saying too much, you would think that the maid provoked your feelings with the mother~~" The little girl said cautiously: "The girl is not born to the mother, and you need to be careful in the future, but don't be sold by her, and help her count the silver!" β
"Your girl, am I so naΓ―ve!" Meng Jiangying glared at the little girl: "Last night, I asked you to stare at my aunt, can you star?" β
"I couldn't get into the main hall, the slave and maid stood behind the pillar of our side hall, and saw that the maid left the main hall at the beginning of the year and returned to the dormitory, and the maid kept watch for half an hour, counting that the maid was asleep, and then went to the door of the main hall, but it was locked, so she had to come back."
"If only you could keep it a little longer!" Meng Jiangying sighed: "If the painting is really lost, it must have been lost after my aunt left last night, if you keep it, maybe you can still see the thief." β
"The maid thinks, it doesn't look like a thief~~" The little girl lowered her voice: "Girl, think about it, our Yaohua Palace is only two or three halls, it is difficult to hear a little movement, the maid sleeps shallowly, and slept on the couch outside the window last night, how can you not hear a little noise?" β
That's true.
And there are chamberlains on duty at night in the gatehouse, if there is really a thief coming to the door, how can it escape their eyes?
In the main hall of Yaohua Palace, Meng Ruyi asked Yang Qing to move the plum bottle away, kicked it on the empty wall, and a box popped open from below.
The box was ten centimeters long and six centimeters wide, and at first glance it was known that it was specially used to store the scrolls, but at this time it was empty, and the gold paint on the box had fallen a lot, and even the ground was looming.
"Mother, lost your painting?" Yang Qing was taken aback.
"Last night, I opened it." Meng Ruyi put the box on the ground and looked at Yang Qing: "You were on duty last night, did you ever fall asleep?" β
"After Niangniang left the main hall, the little girl in Miss Meng's house came out once, as if she was going to go to the thatched house, but she went around to the corridor of the main hall, and the old slave thought at the time, she may be sheltering from the wind~~" Yang Qing's back straightened, and he looked at Meng: "Niangniang, you say, could it be Miss Meng?" β
"But she doesn't look like a fake today~~" Meng Ruyi said hesitantly: "However, that little girl has to find a way to check, she was arranged by the Zhang family to Ying'er's side, and it is difficult to guarantee that there will be no dissent." β
"Niangniang is right, the old slave will arrange people outside the palace to control this girl's mother!" Yang Qing was extremely worried: "It's just that she went back to the side hall after entering the thatched house, and she didn't have a chance to start at all." β
"What if someone hid in the main hall before I went in?" Meng Ruyi's heart moved: "I hid in last night, and then slipped out of the back window while I was out, but I didn't know it." β
"It's a bit possible for the mother to say that! You hide the painting so secretly, even the old slave doesn't know the place, how can outsiders find it?
Emperor Mingde has sent several waves of people these days, but they have not been found, and it is impossible for outsiders to steal it without knowing it.
Therefore, it is only possible for the mother to be seen when she is released. Yang Qing thought about it for a while, and was ruthless: "The old slave will go to check from last night to now, all the people who are close to Yaohua Palace will definitely get the painting back for you!" β
