The red building is so arrogant

Chapter 203 Framed by the strong maid Meng Meng died, cleverly used Jiao Shun to accept Qingwen

Jiao Shun originally planned that when he entrusted the matter to Jia Baoyu, he would be able to stay out of it—even if the news leaked afterwards and provoked King Zhongshun's revenge, King Beijing and Big Face would be the first to bear the brunt.

Whoever thought that the plan could not keep up with the changes, went back to the Rongguo Mansion, looked for the servant on duty outside the second gate, and found out that Baoyu had left the house early in the morning and had not returned until now.

Jiao Shun couldn't help calling out that he made a mistake.

I should have thought that this playful kid would not be able to obediently stay at home for the holidays, and must go outside to join in the fun.

How to do?
If there is a long delay, then Liu Xianglian may not be able to escape the search of the palace guards.

Although Jiao Shun is often jealous of his handsomeness, they still have some 'friendship' with each other, not to mention that they have promised to help with the interrogation, so it's not easy to wait for him to be captured by King Zhongshun and sent to rape.

So he asked persistently: "Do you know where Brother Bao went?"

"How dare these little ones ask nonsense?"

The servant on duty sneered, and then said: "If Uncle Jiao wants to know where Second Master Bao has gone, you might as well find Mingyan and ask, maybe he knows."

"Didn't Mingyan go out with Brother Bao?"

"No, I said it was a stomachache in the morning, so I replaced it with someone else."

tsk~
Jiao Shun was in a dilemma for a while.

Since Liu Xianglian has made a promise, it's not easy to break her promise.

But if you bring him back with great fanfare, it won't be easy to evade if something happens in the future.

"Is there a nursing home nearby?!"

Just at this moment, an urgent voice came from the passage between the two doors: "It's terrible, we have recruited burglars in our courtyard, hurry up and send a few people over there, so that we can search the neighborhood!"

While speaking, the man hurriedly stepped over the Neiyi Gate, only to find that Jiao Shun was standing beside the servant.

So she hurriedly bowed again: "Uncle Jiao."

"It turned out to be Miss Musk Moon."

Jiao Shun recognized the person who came, and he couldn't help but wondered: "Your courtyard has been attacked by thieves? It's sunny, how could there be thieves breaking into the inner house?"

"It can be said that it is!"

Musk Moon herself also found it inconceivable, and said gesticulating: "I also find it inconceivable, but someone sneaked into the courtyard, and was accidentally bumped into by the little maid, so frightened, she hurried over the wall and fled Get out!"

Is the security work in Rongguo Mansion so bad?
There are people turning in and out in broad daylight!

But this is also a good reason, and we can take the opportunity to get Baoyu back.

"Musk Moon, Musk Moon!"

Jiao Shun was planning to push the boat with the current, but he didn't want to chase Qiu Wen out of the two doors, and saw her rushing to Sheyue's side, and pulled Sheyue hard, just about to say something, suddenly saw Jiao Shun beside her, and was busy Mouth sneered salute.

Then Qiuwen looked at Jiao Shun, then at Sheyue, hesitant to speak.

Seeing this, Jiao Shun hurriedly said: "When something like this happens, you should always inform Brother Huibao first, but you don't want to be muddleheaded and cause trouble all over the city."

"exactly!"

After hearing this, Qiuwen seemed to be secretly relieved, nodded vigorously, and gave Sheyue a wink at the same time, saying: "This is the truth, or maybe Si'er is wrong, let's wait for the second master to come back Let's talk about it after asking."

Listening to the meaning, I'm afraid there is something hidden in it.

But after all, this is someone else's family matter, and Jiao Shun didn't intend to delve into it.

He just took the opportunity to tell the young boy: "It doesn't matter if it's a misunderstanding or something, it won't be wrong to ask Brother Bao to come back to preside over the overall situation—you go to the front yard to inform, and tell Brother Bao that there is something wrong in the house, and let them make an appointment." Hurry up and get Brother Bao back."

After a pause, he added: "Brother Ruobao is back, don't forget to let me know."

Although Jiao Shun is not the serious master of this mansion, but his father is one of the four chief managers, not to mention that Baoyu is involved, the young man naturally dare not neglect, he hastily responded respectfully, and hurried to the front yard to deliver a message.

And after he left, Jiao Shun also bid farewell to the two daughters.

But Sheyue was confused, and was dragged back to the inner house by Qiuwen. Seeing that there was no one around, she couldn't help but questioned: "Si'er saw the snitch with his own eyes! Besides, there are footprints on the ground, and there are also traces on the wall." The traces, even a few pieces of the tiles have been removed, which is obviously a thief, but why do you say that it is a mistake?"

Qiu Wen looked bitter, and said helplessly, "It's true that I was a thief, but it may not be a thief who stole things."

"What do you mean?"

"Not long after you left, someone found a wooden box in the grass outside the wall, which contained a gold hairpin..."

Hearing this, Musk Moon immediately interjected, "Isn't this more proof that the house was burglarized?"

"The golden hairpin doesn't belong to our house, and..."

"And how?"

"And there's a love poem in that box!"

She Yue was taken aback, and only then did she understand what Qiu Wen said just now, but it turned out that she was a thief!
But this is even more wrong.

Where is it impossible to communicate secretly, but why did he blatantly break into the inner house?

Qiuwen nodded and said, "Sister Xiren also thought it was weird, so she asked me to chase you back quickly."

The two talked all the way back home.

Before entering the main room, I heard Xiren and Qingwen arguing in the living room.

Xiren felt that this matter was really weird, so it was best to suppress it first, and then investigate it slowly later.

But Qingwen felt that it was because of the weirdness that she should find out as soon as possible, lest everyone make random guesses and ruin the reputation of the whole house.

Hearing that the two were still arguing, She Yue hurriedly lifted the curtain and entered the room, "Stop arguing quickly! Uncle Jiao also said, it's best to keep quiet and wait for Second Master Bao to come back to preside over the overall situation."

I heard that Jiao Shun meant it, but Qingwen couldn't refute it.

Xiren wondered, "How did you meet Uncle Jiao?"

"It so happens that Uncle Jiao is talking to people at the second gate."

Sheyue replied: "Uncle Jiao has already sent someone to look for our second master, but I don't know where the second master has gone, I'm afraid it will take a while."

Xiren heard that he had sent someone to look for Baoyu, and he became more and more determined, so he called Sheyue and Qiuwen, and each asked the little maids to remind and comfort them, lest they talk about it indiscriminately.

Unexpectedly, as soon as the courtyard settled down, someone suddenly heard someone shouting at the gate of the courtyard: "The wife is here, the housekeeper hastened to come out!"

Hearing this yell, the little maids were silent like cicadas, Xi Ren, Qingwen, Sheyue, and Qiuwen hurriedly responded, and lined up around the gate of the courtyard with their heads bowed.

Not long after, Mrs. Wang walked in without turning her eyes, and went to the main room to sit down without even looking at them.

Seeing this posture, Xiren became more and more anxious.

Deliberately looking for Jin Chuan to inquire, but not wanting to, another servant woman raised her voice: "Madam asked you to come in and answer."

Wait for all the girls to file in and line up in the middle of the room.

Mrs. Wang, who was holding tea, asked with a straight face: "I heard that there was a thief in your yard? But why didn't you report it to Luding outside the second gate?"

The four girls looked at each other, not knowing how to respond.

Mrs. Wang put the tea bowl on the table heavily, and said coldly, "Why don't you talk?"

After a pause, he named Xi Ren again: "Xi Ren!"

Xiren was agitated, and was about to go out to answer, but Qingwen preempted her and said: "It's true that you have been attacked by a thief, but things are a bit weird."

Then he told the story of the incident and several suspicious points one by one.

Mrs. Wang also frowned after hearing this, and said after a while: "No matter what's weird, since something like this has happened, it must be thoroughly investigated."

Immediately, she didn't care how Xiren, Qingwen and the others reacted, and ordered Wu Xing's family and Zheng Hua's family [both are Mrs. Wang's companions] to search the house together with Jin Chuan and Caixia.

After searching, a lot of precious things were found in the rooms of the little maids.

But if you ask carefully, they are all rewarded by Baoyu, not stolen goods.

There will be more good things when you find the big maid's room.

After hearing this, Madam Wang became more and more unhappy.

Even his old man dare not be so extravagant!

However, although she was a little dissatisfied with her son's act of selling his father's land, after all, she was used to pampering her, so she didn't mean to investigate further.

It is just to order people to register the treasures in it, indicating that the precious jade is "rewarded and rewarded", but it is not allowed to take it out of the house at will, let alone sell it arbitrarily.

This has just taken back ownership in disguise.

Wu Xing's family suddenly yelled: "Whose property is this? What a shameless little hoof!"

Everyone followed the prestige, but saw her holding an open letter as if she was discovering a new world.

"what happened?"

Hearing Mrs. Wang's question, Wu Xing's family offered the letter with both hands as if they were busy presenting treasures.

Mrs. Wang read it at a glance, and her face became completely gloomy. She shook the letter and asked, "Who did you find this from?"

Wu Xing's family immediately looked at Xiren.

Xiren hurriedly explained: "That's not my package!"

"It belongs to Qingwen!"

Qiuwen exclaimed from the side: "That's Qingwen's package!"

Everyone's eyes immediately focused on Qingwen again.

Qingwen never thought that she had advocated a thorough investigation just now, but in the end she found herself.

Her pretty face turned pale at first, and then turned red again.

"not me!"

She gritted her teeth and argued: "Someone must be framing me!"

Hearing this, Wu Xing's family sneered: "Miss, what did you say? Didn't this letter come from your package? It also said that I will send you a hairpin during the holiday!"

"not me!"

Qingwen defended again: "If it was me, how could I advocate a thorough investigation immediately?! Not to mention knowing that there will be a search, and still keep the things in my bag!"

"This……"

Then Wu Xing's family was poor at the time.

Indeed, Qingwen has always wanted to investigate thoroughly, but now she has found evidence from her package, which is a bit weird no matter how you think about it.

Seeing that Wu Xing's family was at a disadvantage, Zheng Hua's family chimed in and said, "Maybe it's a thief calling for a thief."

"Bah! You are the thief!"

Qingwen spat on her face.

Just as she was about to argue again, Mrs. Wang raised her hand to stop her, stared at Qingwen and asked impatiently: "Even if someone was framed, why didn't you frame someone else, but you? It shows that you are usually careless!"

As soon as the theory that "flies don't bite seamless eggs" came out, Qingwen couldn't argue with it.

Feeling ashamed and angry, she actually grabbed the gold hairpin that was placed on the table as evidence, and pressed it hard to prove her innocence when she was about to die!
Because the incident happened suddenly, no one in the room had time to stop it.

"Can't, can't!"

Fortunately, Baoyu arrived in time at this time, rushed over dancing, snatched the golden hairpin, hugged Qingwen regardless, and asked tremblingly: "What's wrong with this?! Why is it so good? ..."

See Qingwen crying in Baoyu's arms.

Xiren quickly stepped forward and recounted the incident in a low voice. After Jia Baoyu heard it, he said without hesitation: "This must be framed by someone. Qingwen will never do such a thing!"

After speaking, he said to Mrs. Wang: "Madam Mingjian, my son can swear to God, she is definitely not such a frivolous woman!"

Mrs. Wang was taken aback just now, and she was still a little scared at this moment.

But seeing that his son was so partial to this vicious maidservant, and even put on such an intimate gesture, he couldn't help but ask again: "Leave aside what happened today, I heard that she often acts in ways that make things difficult for others, and you don't know what to do?" Let her play around nonchalantly, right?"

"This……"

Baoyu's momentum was immediately discouraged, and he hesitated with a long mouth and couldn't answer.

"Humph~"

Mrs. Wang snorted coldly: "Such a girl who is causing trouble for nothing, even if she is innocent, she can't be kept! It's better to get rid of her as soon as possible..."

Before Mrs. Wang could finish speaking, Qingwen stopped crying, broke away from Baoyu's arms, and slammed her head against the wall sullenly.

"useless!"

Baoyu hurriedly grabbed her, but she staggered a few steps.

Fortunately, the attackers all rushed forward at this time, which stopped Qingwen.

Seeing this, Mrs. Wang was startled by Qingwen's steadfastness on the one hand, but on the other hand she became more and more annoyed that she would threaten her with death at every turn.

"Mrs."

Just not knowing how to deal with it, suddenly a servant woman came in and reported: "Uncle Jiao is asking to see you outside."

"Why did Brother Shun come here?"

Mrs. Wang remembered that Jiao Shun had gone to Wang's house today, and she might have brought back the follow-up of the incident of selling officials, so she hurriedly said, "Invite him in quickly."

Not long after, Jiao Shun came in from the outside, greeted Mrs. Wang, and secretly looked at the situation in the room. While guessing what happened, he said to Mrs. Wang: "My nephew rushed over to disturb, one is the Taiwei master Let me send you a message to say hello, and second, I want to go to Shichahai to watch the dragon boat race with Brother Bao."

Madam Wang was patient and asked about the details of Jiao Shun's visit to Wang Ziteng.

After learning that Wang Ziteng had given Jiao Shun the nickname 'Changqing', he couldn't help sighing: "None of the relatives and nephews can catch his eyes. Now that you are alone, it shows that it is you. The destiny law has arrived, don't let this expectation live up to you in the future."

"Jiao Shun would like to follow his wife's instruction."

Jiao Shun gave a deep salute, and then looked curiously at Qingwen who was controlled by the crowd: "Miss Qingwen, what's wrong with this?"

It just so happened that at this time Qingwen also remembered that Jiao Shun had excused herself and Xiren in front of Jia Zheng.

So she seemed to be grabbing a life-saving straw, struggling and knelt down on the ground, kowtowed and cried like garlic: "I was wronged, I beg Mr. Jiao to see clearly!"

Seeing that Mrs. Wang had no intention of stopping, Xiren hurriedly narrated the incident again.

After hearing this, Jiao Shun also concluded that someone must have framed him.

And he further deduced that most of this matter has something to do with Mingyan!

After all, a few days ago, Qingwen claimed that she had found out about Mingyan, and now she was framed. It is hard not to make people suspect that there is a connection.

In addition, I heard earlier that Mingyan did not go out with Baoyu for a stroll today...

But right now there is no actual evidence to testify his speculation.

and……

For Jiao Shun, this matter might not be a bad opportunity!
"This……"

After pondering for a while, he spread his hands out of embarrassment and said: "I'm not the judge of the case, let me know the details, I'm afraid it's..."

After a pause, Jiao Shun changed the subject again: "However, since the matter is in doubt, it is indeed a little inappropriate to throw her out like this. How about a compromise?"

Mrs. Wang was forced to die by Qingwen twice, and she was hesitant about how to step down. After hearing this, she hurriedly asked, "How can I find a compromise?"

Just listen to Jiao Shun's scriptures: "Don't rush to drive her out, let her be lent to my house for a few days--the fifth child in my mother's house is always sick recently, it is really reassuring No more."

Then he turned his head and promised Baoyu: "When brother Bao finds out the truth, if she is really innocent, it won't be too late to bring her back."

Baoyu was still a little hesitant at first, but when he heard this, he made up his mind, and immediately knelt down in front of his mother, and said loudly: "I really can't bear to just drive her out like this, I beg my wife to do it, and I agreed to Brother Jiao's compromise." method!"

　In the last chapter, I saw someone asking what is the use of writing Liu Xianglian's plot.

　　In the short term, it is to give Jiao Shun a reason to appear in this chapter; in the long run, it is not spoilers for the time being.
