Chapter 8: The Thief Who Surrendered Himself
"What else does Master Hou command?" Mama Liu turned around.
"You've been living near the kitchen, do you know anything about the kitchen running water last night?" Mo Yuhou said with a headache: "Wan'er just encountered such a thing as soon as she became a family, and she couldn't catch people. ”
Mama Liu smiled: "It's a good thing that Madam wants to take care of the house." Last night, the slave maid slept just when she heard the water go away, and she didn't find anything abnormal, so she couldn't help Madame. ”
Ning Yuxuan sighed, glanced into the room, and waved his hand: "You go down, by the way, ask the maids and daughters-in-law to see if they know." ”
"Yes. ”
Wen Wan changed her clothes and was about to go to the kitchen, and she didn't move her chopsticks to the table of delicacies. Ning Yuxuan stretched out his hand to stop her, frowned, and said, "You really don't eat?"
"Don't eat it!" Wen Wan pouted: "I have to find out who this chicken thief is, otherwise I will be embarrassed by being Mrs. Hou the first day." ”
Ning Yuxuan smiled and grabbed her waist, reached out and scratched her nose and said, "That kind of trivial matter, where is it so serious that you don't eat." ”
Wen Wan snorted angrily: "It's very serious, the kitchen is a very important place, and it can actually enter the thief, and the water is gone." Siguo Pavilion is near there, if you don't find it in time, if it burns down, what will happen to the people inside?"
Mo Yuhou paused, pursed his lips and said, "Wan'er, it is Nie Sangyu who lives in the Pavilion, you don't have to care about her life or death." ”
A woman like Nie Sangyu, if it weren't for the Nie family's still existence, he would have abolished her a long time ago.
"How can you not care about it. Wen Wan glared at him: "She is dead, can the one in the palace let you go? The Nie family can let you go? ”
Ning Yuxuan raised his eyebrows and said with a smile: "It's so sour." ”
Wen Wan was angry, hit him, crossed the threshold and walked out.
Doctor Li is a weak scholar-like person, not long after entering the Hou Mansion, he didn't dare to speak when he saw Ji Man, but Ji Man comforted him for a long time, and sincerely begged him for help, so he agreed to put some jewelry and clothes in the medicine box, and took them out to sell them for her.
Originally, these things belonged to Nie Sangyu, and it didn't hinder anyone if she wanted to sell them, but now Ji Man and Alfalfa can't get out, so they can only borrow people's hands.
Ji Man calculated, according to the price here, those jewelry and clothes can be sold for two hundred taels of silver, leaving fifty taels for her body, fifty taels to help her subordinates improve their lives, and the remaining one hundred taels are of great use to her.
Since I was living in ancient times, I would be sorry for my modern identity if I didn't open a gold finger. In addition to embroidery, which is a capital-saving job, Ji Man also wants to do something else.
Dr. Li left, and Ji Man continued to embroider, thinking that when the silver returned, he would have to arrange the room, at least there would be no more mice.
"Master. ”
Just thinking about it, Alfalfa hurriedly came in, and said in a panic: "Madame is here." ”
Hmm?madam?Ji Man raised her eyebrows, the second female didn't appear so early, why did the heroine hit the door by herself.
Getting up and putting the bandage aside, Ji Man hurriedly went out to salute: "The slave has seen Madame." ”
Wen Wan was wearing a water-blue fairy skirt, with a light yellow placket shoulders, and a hairpin with mutton fat jade on her head, and the whole person looked like a fairy. Ji Man looked at it, looked down at himself, hey, it's really desolate.
"Get up, I'm just here to ask about the kitchen water. Wen Wan smiled and helped her: "You live closest to the kitchen, and I want to ask if you are frightened." ”
Is there a reward for answering if you are frightened?" Ji Man pondered for a moment, raised his eyes and looked at the maid who was following Wen Wan, and said in a low voice: "The slave is fine, about the kitchen water, I have something to say to my wife in private, I don't know if my wife is willing." ”
"Oh?" Wen Wan said curiously, "Do you know something?"
"Ma'am. The maid behind her, Sandalwood, pulled her gentle sleeves and whispered, "Master Hou said, don't get too close to her." ”
Wen Wan glanced back at Sandalwood, shook her head and said, "What are you afraid of in broad daylight?" Go and wait for me outside the courtyard first, and I will come out after asking her two words." ”
"But—" Sandalwood frowned and looked at Ji Man, her eyes full of vigilance.
"Let's get out. Wen Wan waved her hand.
Sandalwood and the two little girls, along with the alfalfa, all withdrew. Wen Wan turned around, and was about to ask Ji Man what he wanted to say, when he saw the person in front of him kneeling on the ground with a thud, the voice was so loud that Wen Wan's face turned pale with fright, and she hurriedly looked at her knees.
"Madam..." Ji Man burst into tears, looked up at Wen Wan, and said with a sad face: "The chicken in the kitchen was stolen by the slave maid, and the slave wanted to confess, but she was afraid of damaging the face of the Hou Ye, so she could only tell her in private." ”
Wen Wan was shocked by the chicken that Nie Sangyu stole and subconsciously asked, "Why?"
It's a concubine of the Hou Mansion, how could she do something like stealing chickens and touching dogs?
Ji Man wiped his tears and said in a low voice: "The slave is too hungry, so she did such a thing, please forgive Madame." ”
"How can you be hungry?" Wen Wan's eyes widened, "Didn't the kitchen bring you food?"
It's coming, it's waiting for her to ask this!
