Chapter 527

The old lady Beigong looked at Ming Ruo: "Yaohua, what was lost in your yard yesterday?"

"I lost some dowry jewelry and ornaments, and my husband lost a few paintings." Ming Ruo replied softly.

"When is it happening? Why don't you come to tell my grandmother?" Old Lady Beigong angrily.

"I found it when the maid put her head in the small warehouse shortly after she returned yesterday." Mingruo looked a little embarrassed, "Before the guests at the banquet had left the banquet, the granddaughter-in-law thought that it was not a glorious thing, so no one could tell her grandmother."

"What have you lost?" asked Mrs. Beigong. It would be fine if it wasn't worth a few dollars.

"I lost an eight-treasure gold necklace, the pair of mutton fat jade bracelets given by my second aunt, a pair of agate head and a bloodstone ornaments. My husband lost three paintings, one of which was a turquoise scroll, and a birthday gift for my grandfather..." Ming Ruo looked bitter, and it was obvious that this made the 'already not wealthy family worse'.

The paintings of "Baigong Master" are hard to find, and the young lady's dowry jewelry is worth tens of thousands of silver coins, roughly calculated.

Mrs. Beigong was in charge of the family for decades, and she had never made such a big mistake in the backyard: "I want to see who is so brave. If I find out that my old man is, I will definitely punish you strictly without any debts!"

When Mrs. Beigong heard that Qingqiuyuan had lost so much things, she felt so distressed that she was bleeding. This daughter-in-law was really useless and could not even hold her dowry!

The old lady Beigong took a deep breath: "Sixi, go and call Butler Zhu, and I have something to tell him."

"Yes." Sixi trotted out of the yard.

The old lady Beigong called Qingming in again to ask questions.

"Please be at peace with the old lady, young lady." After Qingming came in, he quickly saluted.

"Did you go to the pawnshop early in the morning just to catch the thief?" There are several pawnshops in Yunling City, big and small. They squat until the thieves sell stolen goods as soon as they wait. This is too cheap.

"This..." Qingming looked at the young lady, then at the old lady, as if she wanted to say it but didn't dare to say it.

When Mrs. Beigong saw Qingming like this, she knew that there was something else. Her eyes looked at Mingruo and she became a little sharper.

Mingruo seemed to be frightened by Mrs. Beigong, lowered his head aggrievedly, but said nothing.

When the 'Baigong Master' saw his wife like this, he immediately stopped doing it and protected her wife: "The old lady asked, just tell me if you are honest."

Qingming gritted his teeth and said, "When the old lady said, the little one went to the pawn shop with Qingfeng, not to catch thieves, but to be a thing."

The 'Big Young Master' looked very good, and he said in a deep voice: "The warehouse was stolen yesterday, so I had no clue after checking it. The lady was afraid that the rest of the things would be lost in the warehouse, so she picked a few valuable and easy to move, so she let Qingfeng and Qingming take it as silver notes and put them away.

Besides, the yard also needs expenses on weekdays, and the birthday of the eldest son of Helian is coming soon, so it needs money to make some money."

The more Mrs. Beigong listened, the less it became: "The expenses in your yard and the relationships between people all depend on the money turnover of the wife selling her dowry?"

Mrs. Beigong's body suddenly stiffened, and she was about to stop the conversation.

Unfortunately, the 'Baigong Master' is now sarcastic: "My grandson also wants to sell paintings to support the expenses, but the wife said that those paintings are my beloved things. Now sell some dowry first for emergency purposes. When I draw paintings I don't like in the future, I will sell them to sell them."

The old lady Beigong slapped the table and said angrily: "I just sent my monthly money before, didn't you go to the account office to get it?"

Ming Ruo stuttered: "My granddaughter-in-law... sent Qiushui to collect it, but... but the accountant said... the money had been paid..."

"Who sent it?" Mrs. Beigong's eyes fell on Mrs. Beigong, who looked guilty.

Mrs. Beigong stammered and said: "There were few people serving in front of Langyue before, and they were all from their wives, and they helped to get the monthly money. This month, I was also led by the month, I was afraid I had not had time to send it to Qingqiuyuan."

Mrs. Beigong had long regarded Qingqiuyuan’s monthly money as her own. She had forgotten that her son not only married a wife but was not stupid...

"Ha, I'm afraid I won't just get it, but I also spent it at the same time?" Old Lady Beigong sneered, "Others' families are all parents who provide for their sons. It would be better if you come here. I have to plunder my son's money, and I have to sell the dowry to help you raise your son! Your daughter-in-law is not losing money!

Look at what you do, you will lose all the face of the Beigong family!"

Mrs. Beigong lowered her head and did not dare to speak. She greeted all the eighteen generations of ancestors of "Helian Yaohua". This little hoof was here to defeat her. Since she got married, she has not had a day of peace. (Mingruo smiled so hard that her eyebrows were curled up: You greet the ancestors of the Helian family, but you have just gone wherever you are, and you still have the ultimate move!)

The old lady Beigong wanted to scold her eldest daughter-in-law for a few more words, so Sixi brought Butler Zhu to come.

Although Butler Zhu's legs were a little short, they were very fast. In addition, his round body looked like a ball of meat rolling in from a distance: "Hello, old lady, what are your instructions?"

"Who are you bringing this..." Old Lady Beigong pointed at Qingming, "Go to the yamen to bring back the thief you caught, and said that this is the Beigong family's family affairs. We will interrogate ourselves and do not need the yamen to interfere."

"Don't worry, old lady, let's go and do it now." Butler Zhu took Qingming and "out of the main courtyard again.

Mrs. Beigong's second wife was not on the surface, but she was happy. Their second wife's status was a little unstable, and they were thinking about how to stumbling the big wife. Unexpectedly, the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law started to snatch the old lady first, which made the old lady very angry. It was so satisfying.

Butler Zhu's work efficiency this time was very high. In less than half an hour, he took back the two "snakes" together with Qingming and Qingfeng.

It was when I saw these two "thieves" in the yamen, I felt a little worried - isn't this the servant next to Young Master Xing, Caiyuan and Guangjin!

When Mrs. Beigong saw the wealth and Guangjin, she was also shocked and suddenly realized that something was wrong.

Mrs. Beigong narrowed her eyes and looked at the person kneeling on the ground. Although she couldn't call her name, she was sure that these two servants were following Zhao Xing on weekdays: "Tell me, where did these jewelry and calligraphy and paintings you went to pawn?"

"..." The two servants knelt there without saying a word.

Mrs. Beigong breathed a little relieved, hoping that their mouths would be hard enough and not to call out anything they shouldn't say!

The old lady Beigong said in a deep voice: "Are these two foolish slaves from my Beigong family?"

"If you want to say to the old lady, these two are the servants of the cousin, not from our mansion." Butler Zhu quickly replied.

"Then I'll find their master and let them go, and it seems that they don't care about relatives!" Mrs. Beigong glanced at Mrs. Beigong who was pretending to be a quail.
