Chapter 160 The Miss
159
In May, the sun just rose a little higher and became hot.
Two young swallows who had just left the nest in front of the hall were learning to fly under the guidance of the mother swallow. The little swallow was timid and did not dare to fly down from the roof.
The mother swallow was murmured, as if a kind mother taught her young son, letting the little swallow fly down from the eaves.
The butler of the Yu Mansion lifted the corner of his robe with one hand and walked in quickly. He hurriedly frightened the two lacquer swallows that fell on the ground and flew around.
In the room, Yan was talking to Yugui's wife Sui. Because it was about to reach the birthday of the old master of the Yu family, the sister-in-law and the sister-in-law were discussing what birthday gifts they would prepare this year.
Old Master Yu is very good at Buddha. After resigning, he stopped living in the mansion and only practiced in the temple.
Every year during festivals or birthdays, the descendants just go to the temple to greet you. The old man never comes home.
As soon as the housekeeper entered the door, Yan saw that he looked unrighteous and asked, "Is there something wrong with him so anxious and panicked?"
The housekeeper said carefully: "Mrs. The people from the Ministry of Justice have come and said that if you have something to do, you should ask our eldest lady."
When Yan heard this, he couldn't help but frown. Yu Rubi was the lady of the official family and could not easily see these people from the public.
So he said, "Miss is sick now, what are you going to ask?"
Seeing that this meant that he didn't want Yu Rubi to come out, the housekeeper had to say, "Madam, now Lord Yuan from the Ministry of Justice has come here in person, I'm afraid there is something important."
Yuan Wensheng's official rank is one level higher than Mr. Yu's. When he arrived in person, Yan could not refuse and said, "Since that's the case, let's invite them to the front hall for tea first."
But after all, he was a little reluctant and said, "It's just a girl who died, why is it so troublesome!"
Sui said from the side: "Don't there is something else, right?"
After hearing this, Yan said, "What can happen? Yuan Wensheng is the most powerful person with Niu Xin. Now that Lord Shangshu is sick, he becomes king."
As he said that, he got up and went in front of him, and Sui naturally accompanied him.
Yan walked to the door and said to the maid beside her: "Go and invite the young lady to the front."
Yu Rubi was really sick. After a little scared, she stayed in the wild for another night. In addition, her worries were hard to resolve. How could she hold on to her weak body?
When Yan's girl came to invite her, Yu Rubi was lying quietly in the room.
Gardenia brought the snacks sent by Zhou Yichen and advised her to eat them, but Yu Rubi had no appetite.
Gardenia couldn't persuade her to drink tea. Just as she was about to pour tea, Yan's girl entered the house.
After asking An, he said, "Miss, Madam, please go to the front. He said that Lord Yuan of the Ministry of Justice has come. I have a few words to ask."
Yu Rubi didn't know what happened, so she struggled to get up, put on her clothes and helped Gardenia out of the door and headed forward.
After entering the front hall, I naturally have to pay my respects first.
This was the first time Yuan Shengwen saw Yu Rubi, but he had heard that the daughter of the Yu family was very beautiful. She was indeed well-known when she saw her today. Although she was a little haggard, she was still very beautiful and charming.
Yan asked Yu Rubi to sit down, then turned her face and asked, "Mr. Yuan, don't know what to ask?"
Yuan Wensheng coughed lightly and said, "I have two things here, I want to ask Miss Yu to take a look."
As he said that, he took out a jade hairpin and a jade bracelet.
Yan recognized it as a jade-like object, so he said, "These two things are indeed like a jade-like object, I don't know where they came from?"
"So this is indeed Miss Yu's jewelry?" Yuanda said: "That's right, we caught a thief and found these jewelry from the stolen goods he stole, so we came over and asked."
"Thieves? Where is the thief?" Yan was very surprised when he heard this: "What is this thief called?"
"This thief is named Su Hachiro." When Yuan Shengwen talked about Su Hachiro's name, he stared at Yu Rubi to see how she reacted.
Sure enough, Yu Rubi suddenly looked up with a look of panic. In this way, he knew it.
Of course, Yan and others didn't know who Su Balang was, and thought they were just a thief.
But Yu Rubi was silent on the side. She originally fantasized that Su Haoyi had already recovered from the difficulties and returned home, but she couldn't send a letter to herself to report her safety.
Who would have thought that she was actually taken as a thief and arrested to the Ministry of Justice.
Lord Yuan then said, "Miss Yu, please think carefully about where he lost these jewelry. When I thought of asking for trouble, I would like to convict him." He stood up and said goodbye.
Yan asked, "How is Chunyu going? When can I get the body back?"
Lord Yuan laughed twice and said, "Madam, wait a little longer, now we don't have enough people."
After Yuan Wensheng left, Yan asked Yu Rubi: "I remember this jewelry was brought by you when you went out to the oil pot that day, why was it stolen by someone?"
Yu Rubi was upset at this time and didn't know what she had to do to clear her suspicion. She didn't hear what Yan asked her at all.
Sui said from the side: "What's wrong with this? It's probably because Rubi fell into the water that day, and the jewelry fell into the water and was picked up by someone. She is now sick, so send it back to rest! It's just a few pieces of jewelry, and they can convict whatever they want."
After hearing this, Yan didn't even look into it. He asked the maid to return his eldest brother-in-law to rest for a while.
The Ministry of Justice Prison.
A prison leader walked in with a small prison guard and came to the door of the cell where Su Haoyi was imprisoned.
Su Haoyi recognized his surname Wang, but his name was unclear.
After Sima Lantai's diagnosis and treatment, Su Haoyi's broken leg had been connected and was fixed with a wooden board on the outside.
With the help of taking the medicine on her own, her fever had subsided and she felt much better.
Although she was imprisoned in prison, she was not tortured. But she still didn't know who was trying to harm her, and she was worried about involving Yu Rubi.
At this time, Su Haoyi had simply washed up, not as embarrassed as when he was caught.
Wang Laotuo was a man in his early thirties. He had been a prison guard here since he was a teenager. He asked the people who followed him to open the door, brought the food box in, and put it in front of Su Haoyi and whispered: "Let's eat! This is sent by the young master of Lantai. Don't worry, eat it. It's many times better than the prison rice."
"Thank you, Uncle Wang! I'll bother you." Su said kindly.
Wang Laotou quickly said, "Don't be so polite! It was the young master of Lantai who asked me to take care of you. How could I not do my best? My son is still not able to speak when he is seven or eight years old. It was the young master of Lantai who cured it. This is a great kindness. Now the young master is the young master who asks me for this matter. How can I say trouble?"
Su Haoyi opened the food box and saw a few snow-white steamed buns, some side dishes, and a bowl of warm rice porridge.
