Otoharu

Chapter 261
To fight against the outside world, the inside must be settled first. Li Xin's family began to investigate and used some extreme methods, but they did not find anything from the maid beside Li Yuanchun, but found clues from the maid in Li Ang's room.

It was also the maid who saw the miserable conditions of the maids in Li Yuanchun's courtyard without being frightened. She slipped her mouth when she was having nightmares at night, and was reported by the maid in the same room.

That maid was originally a sweeping maid in Li Ang's study, who was bribed and stole the master's handkerchief to sell for money. Li Yuanchun's handkerchief jewelry was always in abundance, but this one was stolen by the maid. It just so happened that Li Yuanchun lent it to Li Ang once. He promised that Li Ang would be washed and returned to his aunt, but Li Ang was always careless, so he forgot about it when he turned around. The veil stayed with him, and it happened that Li Yuanchun had a lot of things to do recently, so he didn't bother to ask Li Ang to return the veil, and let the maid take advantage of the loophole.

The maid was also taking chances, thinking that the young master was careless, and if he lost the handkerchief, he would only think that he hadn't put it away properly, and would not suspect these maids.Who knew that such a big incident would happen later.

After Li Xin knew what had happened, he was so angry that he immediately got Li Ang back from the ethnology, and beat him up with his own hands.

Wu usually loves his grandson the most, but this time he didn't say a word to persuade his master, just watched Li Xin beat him, and after breaking a cane, he handed him another one.

Seeing her son being beaten by her father-in-law, Mrs. Qi wanted to stop her but dared not, so she kept crying and begged her son for mercy. In the end, she almost threw herself on her son and beat him for him. Fortunately, Li Yuanxia stopped her, otherwise her father-in-law After beating the daughter-in-law, others want to see her family's jokes again.

Li Xin broke two canes, and finally calmed down a bit, panting heavily, sat on the chair, pointed to Li Ang and said, "Go to the ancestral hall and kneel for me, boy, when will you reflect on yourself? Come out again!"

Li Ang stood up slowly, his thighs and butt were burning hot, he could only walk towards the ancestral hall step by step.

Qi wanted to go up to help his son, but he stopped him, "Mother, I can go by myself."

Seeing how his son was struggling to move, Mrs. Qi finally couldn't help it anymore, knelt down in front of Li Xin and begged, "Father, you beat me too, so please spare Ang Geer this time, if he is like this now, go kneel again!" Ancestral hall, something will happen!"

Hearing what his mother said, Li Ang stopped in his tracks, looked back at her, and said, "Mother, don't beg your grandfather, I did something wrong this time, and I should be punished. My grandfather just punished me to kneel in the ancestral hall, which is considered light." .”

Li Ang really didn't feel that he was wronged this time. When he knelt down in the ancestral hall last time, he was still a little dissatisfied. He felt that his grandmother made a fuss. He brought He Zheng home to ask for advice in his study. It happened twice, that was just a coincidence, I really can't blame him.And even if He Zheng is interested in his eldest aunt, he still thinks that He Zheng is okay, and he also thinks it's good to be his uncle.But this time, it was really his fault. If it wasn't for his carelessness, he didn't remember to return the veil to the eldest aunt, and there would be no incident of the maid being bribed to steal the veil later.My aunt won't get a bad reputation because of this incident.

After listening to his grandson, Li Xin calmed down his anger a little bit, and said with a soft snort, "He's still a man, with some responsibility."

The son said this himself, no matter how distressed Qi was, he couldn't say anything more.I could only wipe away my tears and send Li Ang to the ancestral hall.

Seeing her daughter-in-law and grandson leave, Wu sighed again, and said, "Oh, I hope that with this lesson, Brother Ang will be more stable in the future."

The grandson has already taught him a lesson, so Li Xin didn't bother him anymore, he just frowned and said, "Now the thief has been found out, but the clues have been broken, and the maid who has been cheating doesn't know who bought her handkerchief. Let alone the master behind her."

"Not from the Liu family?" Wu also asked with a frown.

Li Xin shook his head, "I don't think so. If the Liu family wants to bribe, they should also bribe the maid next to Sister Chun. How could they think of buying off the girl next to Ang Geer? The maids in Ang Ge'er's house can't get in touch with Sister Chun on weekdays." My son's personal items." This is the point that Li Xin can't figure out.

Mrs. Wu also couldn't figure it out, so she simply said: "Why don't you just report to the officials directly, and say that the man cheated on our maid and stole the valuables in our house, and let the government investigate. Black hands come."

"Let me think about it again. I'm not in a hurry to investigate the black hands behind the scenes. The most urgent thing is how to restore our daughter's reputation. You let Ayi release the news first, and say that our daughter's handkerchief was stolen. The reputation of giving and receiving privately has been washed away." Li Xin said in a deep voice, he didn't want to bring the matter to the government unless it was a last resort, after all, it would have too much impact, and it would be even more detrimental to his sister Chun's reputation.

"It can only be like this..." Wu's face was sad, and she couldn't help sighing again. Her poor girl, no matter how they clarify at this moment, those talkative people outside don't know the rumors. What has become of it.

"Father, mother." The old couple were discussing things, and Li Yuanxia came out from the outside. At this time, her description was also very haggard, her eyes were red, obviously she had just cried.

"Didn't you tell you to guard your sister? Why are you here?" Seeing that it was the youngest daughter, Mrs. Wu hurriedly got up and asked.

"I heard that you found the maid who betrayed the master, so I wanted to come and ask." Li Yuanxia said with a flash of hatred on his face.

"I've already been beaten severely, and now I'm being thrown into the woodshed. When I find out who is behind the scenes, I'll find someone to sell him." A stern look flashed across Wu's face, and he said viciously.

"Have you found out who is going to kill my sister? Is it from the Liu family?" Li Yuanxia asked again.

"I didn't ask, that damn girl didn't know who that person was, your mother and I both felt that something was wrong, how did that person know that the maid could get your sister's handkerchief." Li Xin shook his head and replied.

Li Yuanxia frowned and remained silent. After a long time, she seemed to have thought of something, and suddenly raised her head and shouted: "I remembered!"

Both Li Xin and his wife were taken aback by her, and asked at the same time, "What do you remember?"

"Mom, do you still remember that Li Mengdan and her mother came to visit the house a few days ago?" Li Yuanxia asked in a bitter voice.

"Of course I remember." Wu Shi replied with a frown.

"On that day, Brother Ang sent a basket of walnuts to our sister in the morning. Because he saw that my sister was in a bad mood recently, he personally picked up a few walnuts for my sister, trying to make her happy, but he always does things. He was frizzy, accidentally pinched his hand, and left a lot of blood, so my sister temporarily took her handkerchief to wrap his hand to stop the bleeding."
