"Take it outβ" Only Shen Qingping and Zhao Ruya, who was sitting on the ground crying, were left in the room. Pen Γ fun Γ Pavilion www. ο½ο½ο½ο½ο½ο½ γ ο½ο½ο½ο½
Zhao Ruya looked at him with teary eyes, and asked suspiciously, "What is the master talking about?" β
"Yuding-" Shen Qingping saw her pretending to be stupid, and his voice sank, "This is a gift from the emperor, as the head mother of a mansion, how can you be so ignorant of the severity?" Hurry up and hand it over, and I'll treat it as if today's incident didn't happen! β
Zhao Ruya got up slowly, hurriedly wiped away her tears with a handkerchief, and still asked suspiciously: "Yuding is lost!" Then the old man has to search carefully! β
"You don't know? So what's the deal with the thousand taels of silver? Shen Qingping's face became even more ugly.
Who knew that Zhao Ruya saw him ask, and pulled the veil and cried, "I admit that I took this thousand taels of silver, but I am also for our Qiang'er, master!" Qiang Er ...... She has been pampered since she was a child, how can she stand the pain of grounding! Those individuals in the Prince's East Palace must be waiting to see her jokes! And how can you be kind to her! But sir...... I really didn't take the jade tripod! I am no longer sensible, and I know that this jade tripod is very important, so how can I steal it! β
Shen Qingping heard her mention Shen Qiang, and became even more angry. The daughter who made him lose face and couldn't hold her head up in front of her colleagues has become even worse since she married into the Prince's East Palace. The emperor specially summoned him to the palace, probably suspecting that he instructed Shen Qiang to fake pregnancy with the intention of clinging to the royal family. He couldn't help but think of the book prime minister back then. The prime minister of the book back then can be said to be above 10,000 people under one person, but who would have expected that Concubine Shu would be beaten into the cold palace in just one night, and the prime minister of the book was forced to resign and go into hiding. Although the current emperor is very fond of the crown prince on the surface, but now that the favor of the Yuan concubine is in full swing, who knows if the future prince will change? The prince is vicious, he didn't want his daughter to marry the prince, but she was involved in right and wrong. The emperor has a lot of dissatisfaction with him, if he loses this jade tripod given by the emperor again, then the fate of the Prime Minister's Mansion will be unpredictable! Thinking of this, he became even more anxious.
Seeing Shen Qingping's ever-changing face, the poisonous light in Zhao Ruya's eyes became more and more intense, but she quickly covered it up under a worried gaze. She twisted the handkerchief in her hand, pretending to analyze inadvertently: "When the emperor gave the old man the jade tripod, it attracted a lot of people's hatred, could it be the master's enemy?" β
"No!" Shen Qingping immediately vetoed it, and when he saw her stunned appearance, his heart softened for a while. In fact, he always thinks about some husband and wife love, and besides, a thousand taels of silver is not a particularly big deal, and it is normal for her to care about her daughter! Shen Qingping forgave her at that moment. Thinking that she is the head mother of the Prime Minister's Mansion, she has the right to know about this. So he explained to her: "I personally arranged the guards of the Prime Minister's Mansion, and no one will take the jade tripod without alarming anyone!" β
Zhao Ruya nodded in agreement, and asked thoughtfully, "Could it be that someone in the house stole it?" Shen Qingping heard her ask and looked at her fiercely. Zhao Ruya immediately smiled and changed her words: "It shouldn't be, the guards of the warehouse are so strict, and the lock of the warehouse is not broken!" β
"How do you know if the lock isn't broken?" Shen Qing looked at her calmly. A trace of panic flashed in Zhao Ruya's eyes, she was so anxious that she wanted to quickly lead the matter to Shen Mo's body, but she almost exposed herself. She calmed down and said, "If the lock is broken, will the master rush to my house to search for it as soon as possible?" The implication is that if the lock is broken, it must be stolen by foreign thieves, and if the people in their own house want to steal things, they will naturally restore everything to their original state as quietly as possible. In fact, she also has a layer of meaning, she can take away the jade tripod silently without breaking the lock, and she is a person in the mansion, and there is only one person who is the most suspicious in the entire Prime Minister's Mansion, that is, Shen Mo, the third lady in charge of the Prime Minister's Mansion.
Obviously, Shen Qingping also guessed Shen Mo from her seemingly unintentional rebuttal. Even if he always felt that something was wrong, he faintly didn't believe that Shen Mo did it, but now he just wanted to get back Yuding quickly, and other things could be talked about later. If it was really Shen Mo who stole it, he ......
"Sir?" Zhao Ruya saw Shen Qingping's distraction and called him lightly. Now is not the time to be distracted, she can't wait to see Shen Mo with no way out.
Shen Qingping came back to his senses and shouted outside the door: "Someone is coming-Somo Courtyard!" β
Yanxiao and his party were originally waiting in the courtyard. Yanxiao heard that the old man suddenly turned the spearhead to Moyuan, and immediately panicked. What's going on, haven't you already caught the evidence? How could they be implicated in Moyuan. She rushed to Shen Qingping's front quickly, knelt on the ground to block his way, and hurriedly said: "Master, the slave doesn't know what Madame told you, but since Madame's evidence has been found, why do you want to search my Moyuan?" β
Shen Qingping listened to her disrespectful words and roared angrily: "Presumptuous! Seeing Yanxiao blocking him, he was even more convinced that there was something in Moyuan. He glanced at the unyielding Yanxiao in front of him and Ye'er, who had already fainted, and a nameless anger rose in his heart. This is the slave and maid taught by her good daughter, as stubborn as that woman! "Someoneβlock these two maids in the firewood room!"
"Yes!"
Lanyuan, Vanilla saw that the master went to the elegant courtyard, but his heart settled down. But Yulan's heart was very uneasy. Thinking about it carefully, the lady has already attracted the suspicion of the old man, how could she be stupid enough to execute a subordinate in her own yard with great fanfare? Although she is impulsive and irritable, she was able to stabilize the position of the housewife when the old man favored her sister alone, which shows that she is not a scheming person.
Magnolia put down the teacup and instructed Vanilla: "You go outside and inquire, what's the situation!" Did that girl save her? β
Vanilla herself actually wanted to take a look, she just saw that Ye'er was injured a lot, and she was relieved to take a look in person.
Vanilla walked for a while and then hurried back, with a very panicked look on her face. "Aunt Lan, it's not good, it's not good! The old man didn't know what he found in the courtyard of the third miss, and he was already angry and looking for the third miss everywhere, and Yanxiao and Ye'er were also imprisoned in the firewood room! β
"What! Bang-" Magnolia knocked off the teacup on the table in a panic, she steadied herself and suddenly looked at Vanilla, and asked seriously: "Vanilla, are you hiding something from me?" She thought even more so when she remembered that something was wrong with vanilla.
Vanilla thought that she couldn't hide it anymore, so she told her that she took Yanxiao to the courtyard to save Ye'er. Magnolia looked at Vanilla, her face was visibly angry, but then she was relieved, she was just for her good! Yulan asked, "What about the third young lady?" β
Vanilla replied, "I heard that the third lady went out this morning, it seems that she went to inspect the shop outside." However, the master has already sent someone to guard the gate of the Prime Minister's Mansion, saying that he must bring it over when he sees the third lady! β
Yulan stood up and said, "Quick, follow me to the gate, and don't let the third lady enter the door." β
Although Vanilla knew that Aunt Lan would definitely not have a good time after rushing out like this, but Aunt Xin had a life-saving grace to their master and servant back then, but now that Aunt Xin is gone, her daughter is in danger, how can their master and servant stand by and watch? Besides, she was the one who brought Yanxiao to the Grace Courtyard. She was too impulsive at the time, Yanxiao is no longer a little maid, she represents the third lady, it seems that they must have fallen for Madame's trick!
Magnolia took vanilla to stop people, but her orchid courtyard was remote and they were women, how could their feet catch up with the young and strong guards? By the time they reached the door, the guards had already arrived early, and they had to retreat behind the trees. At this time, Shen Mo returned from outside the mansion, and as soon as she stepped into the mansion gate, a guard stepped forward to stop her. "Third Miss, my subordinates are on the orders of the master to take you back to Moyuan!"
"Ordered to take her back to Moyuan? Who's doing what? She suddenly felt a breath not far away and looked up. I saw a plain woman shaking her head at her in a panic. Yulan desperately reminded Shen Mo not to go. But Shen Mo smiled and said, "Then let's go!" β
The third young lady's calm appearance really surprised them. If this matter was changed to any of the hostesses in the house, she would have to make a fuss, but I didn't expect her to be so calm. The chief of the guard calmed down and took Shen Mo to the backyard.
"Aunt Lan, what should we do?" Vanilla asked anxiously. Yulan calmed down and said to her, "You go to the firewood room to see Yanxiao's situation, and I'll go to Moyuan to have a look." Seeing Vanilla pulling her sleeve, she smiled with relief, "Don't worry, I'm measured!" Vanilla nodded, letting go of her in the direction of the firewood room.
Moin.
As soon as Shen Mo entered the courtyard, she saw her cheap father's face as black as ink, she stepped forward and just wanted to salute, but she didn't want Shen Qingping to suddenly roar: "Evil girl, kneel!" β
Shen Mo was stunned for a moment, then the corners of her lips hooked slightly, and she slowly spit out two words: "Evil girl? "It's so interesting! In these days in the Prime Minister's Mansion, she has basically figured out Shen Qingping's temperament. In fact, his father is not bad in nature, and he even has a little bit of arrogance as a scholar. This is the reason why she ostensibly relies on his "protection" and "lawlessness". But the "evil girl" just now revealed a lot of information! For one thing, she must have been framed again. Second, Shen Qiang was such a bastard at the beginning, he didn't call her a "wicked girl" when he lost the face of the Prime Minister's Mansion, and now her crime has not yet been decided, this call is untrue. Think about her mother, Aunt Xin, after she left, he ignored her. This reaction must still be too strange!
Zhao Ruya saw that Shen Mo didn't want to kneel at all, and just wanted to scold, but she didn't want to be cut off by Shen Mo.
"Madame, may I ask what mistake Mo'er has made?" Thinking of her Shen Mo, how noble her previous identity was, what she didn't want to do, the emperor Lao Tzu couldn't force it, not to mention a father who didn't care about the original owner since he was a child. Yes, it's not clear, although she has no evidence, she always has a feeling - she is not Shen Qingping's daughter!
Zhao Ruya asked herself as soon as she heard her come up, and she wanted to ask her to blame. But she suddenly came to her senses, Shen Mo skipped the master and asked her directly, not really wanting to ask her what happened, but invisibly accusing the master that he was framing her! Sure enough, Shen Qingping's first reaction after hearing this was to look at her. Zhao Ruya was shocked, but quickly maintained her proper smile, "What does Mo'er mean by that?" β
"It's boring." Shen Mo said lightly.
Shen Qingping was directly ignored, he was a little embarrassed, but the matter of letting Shen Mo kneel seemed to be brought down lightly. He cleared his throat, took out the jade tripod from his sleeve, suppressed his emotions and said to Shen Mo: "Do you know this?" β
"I don't know." Shen Mo said lightly. In fact, I really don't know, since taking over the Prime Minister's Mansion, everything in the house is Yanxiao is busy, how does she know what is in the treasury.
"Hmph, this is the jade tripod given by the emperor when I visited the prime minister, and it was found from your room!" Shen Qingping didn't think that she must have done this, but at this moment, seeing that she didn't know her, she, the third lady in charge of the Prime Minister's Mansion, actually said that she didn't know the things in the warehouse, he wouldn't believe it anyway!
By now, Shen Mo had roughly understood the ins and outs of the matter. She is in a bad mood today, she doesn't have the patience to act with them, let's solve it quickly!
"System-kun, are you there?"
β¦β¦
"Don't play dead for me, get out of here!"
A certain system gentleman sniffed, it seems that he is really in a bad mood, and he dares to yell at him! A certain gentleman's voice was pleasant and cheerful, "Ding-System Jun serves you, may I ask ......"
"Less nonsense, help me out!" Shen Mo directly cut off its words with his consciousness. A certain gentleman immediately changed to a softer and more cute voice: "Dwarf oil, people are just babies, can the main silver swollen instigate people to fight." Besides, violence doesn't solve anything! β
Shen Mo smiled softly, "Hehe, then you can use a civilized method!" β
"The method of civilization - what is it?" A certain gentleman asked suspiciously.
"Don't you really know? Well? β
A certain gentleman suspected that he heard a sound similar to the misalignment of bones, and he said in a trembling voice: "Wait...... etc......"
"I haven't thought of it yet-" Shen Mo's voice was soft! But every word has caused a heavy critical blow to the system. He is really unlucky, how can he have such a powerful aura!
"Ahh I thought of it, I thought of it! System Jun: I just changed the other one of this pair of jade tripods to Prime Minister Shen's study. But it can only last for a stick of incense, and you have to move your mouth as soon as possible. A certain gentleman immediately flattered him.
The corners of Shen Mo's mouth twitched, move your mouth as soon as possible? It's time to get started as soon as possible! But then she didn't know that System Jun was so smart that he would even be able to fight! She came back to her senses and asked before Shen Qingping could speak, "Father, who stole the things from whose room they searched out?" β
"This ......"
Shen Mo raised his hand and was resolute, "Father doesn't have to say anything, since you don't believe me, I don't want to argue anything, just ......"
"Third Miss, this is admitted!" Zhao Ruya was overjoyed, she couldn't be too eager, but the old man didn't make a decision for a long time, but he didn't expect this slut to admit it himself!
"What, Madame is pleased?" Shen Mo squinted at her and said disdainfully. Shen Qingping also took the opportunity to look at her, but she had already hidden all her emotions. Since she said her, she still had to refute a few words, but as soon as Zhao Ruya wanted to speak, she was robbed by Shen Mo again. "It's just that my father can go to his study and have a look. If the jade tripod was also found in the father's study, does it mean that the father was guarding and stealing! β
"Presumptuous! Who told you to talk to your Father like that! Shen Qingping said angrily.
Shen Mo smiled disdainfully, his expression was obviously that he taught her, because he ignored her since she was a child, she had never felt her father's love since she was a child, and where did she come from to be in awe of her father?
Shen Qingping's heart sank violently when he saw her look like this, and his face suddenly turned pale. Shen Mo didn't go to see him, everyone was fine, but his wife and daughter framed her several times, which was very annoying. As for Shen Qingping's attitude towards her, she didn't care at all, the reason why she tested his affection for her was just to give the original owner who died unjustly a truth. "What, my father doesn't dare?"
"You ......"
"Fathers don't have to be angry. As the prime minister of a country, you are so easily swayed by others, which is very detrimental to the country! After speaking, she glanced at Zhao Ruya beside him meaningfully.
Shen Qingping can be the prime minister, and he is not a fool, since the silver was stolen and he searched his wife's room, he felt that things would not be so simple! Now that he thinks about it, his attention is really guided by Zhao Ruya to the side of Moyuan. Because Zhao Ruya also put herself in the character of making mistakes, his stereotyped thinking thought that even if she framed Shen Mo, she would not catch herself. But he ignored that as a noble family, the loss of a thousand taels of silver was nothing compared to the loss of the imperial gift! He raised his hand, summoned his close guard, and said to him, "Go to the study and see if there is a jade tripod!" The guard bowed his head in response, but when he turned around, he glanced at Zhao Ruya. It just so happened that this glance was seen by Shen Mo, she frowned, but soon relaxed, looking like she was watching a good show.
Soon, the guard's exclamation sounded outside the courtyard: "Master, help! Help me! Master! He knelt down in front of Shen Qingping with the jade tripod in his hand, and his mouth kept wailing.
When Shen Qingping saw Yuding, he understood that all this was done by Zhao Ruya! But this matter is too big for him to make a big deal about. So he took the jade tripod that the guard held above his head, plus the one he originally had in his hand, a total of two. He was going to go to the storeroom himself and store these two items. Before leaving, he dropped a sentence: "The eldest lady disturbs the peace of the backyard and is grounded!" β
Zhao Ruya sat down on the ground.
Shen Mo looked at the guards who were also sitting on the ground, and asked the system gentleman gloatingly: "You just stopped me from letting more people go to the study to search the study because you knew that he would be like this?" β
A certain gentleman said triumphantly: "That's right! This system is produced and must be guaranteed. As long as he touches Yuding, he can't get rid of it! β
