Chapter 6 Family Thief
Yuxiu was depressed all the way back to Bixiao Courtyard.

Xie Tinglan thought that she would get better after a while, but she didn't expect the little girl to be so angry at this time.

She grabbed Yuxiu who was going to prepare tea and brought her into the house, and said with a smile: "Are you still angry? It's not worth it to get angry because of her."

Xie Tinglan, who had been resurrected for a lifetime, felt no more affection for the three of Wei than he did for a dog on the side of the road.

She sabotaged Ji's entry because she did not want to suffer the reputation of Duke Huguo's Mansion.

The dignified lady of the Duke's Mansion was oppressed by the outer room, and swallowed her anger to welcome the outer room in. If such scandals spread, where would the grandmother's face be put?

Yuxiu was indeed angry, but the reason why she didn't say much was because she was concerned about the mother-daughter relationship between Wei Shi and Xie Tinglan.

After all, they are biological mother and daughter, flesh and blood relatives whose bones are broken but still connected to each other, and they cannot be said to have lost their feelings just because of something.

Yuxiu pursed her lips, "I only hope that one day Da Furen can quickly open her eyes and see clearly who is the one who treats Da Furen well!"

Na Yuxiu was about to be disappointed.

After all, Wei Shi wiped his eyes for more than 20 years, but he was still blind.

If she in her previous life knew that she hadn't pleaded with Fu Pingye for her, she would have hated her to death before she died.

Seeing that Xie Tinglan remained silent, Yuxiu thought she was sad after hearing what she said.

Yuxiu quickly changed the subject, "Miss, are you tired? You have to deal with these troublesome things before you have eaten in the morning. This servant will help you undress."

She walked around behind Xie Tinglan and helped her take off the cloak and hang it up.

Xie Tinglan sat in front of the mirror stand, pulled out the red hairpin from her head, and put it on the table casually.

Yuxiu hung up the cloak and came back, picked up the Zhuchai on the table, intending to put it into the dowry.

But after opening the dowry, Yuxiu paused, and subconsciously frowned.

Xie Tinglan put down her long hair, stroked it a few times, saw Yuxiu's delicate expression in the mirror, and raised her eyebrows.

"what happened?"

Yuxiu flipped through the dowry a few times, frowned and said, "Miss, the jasper hairpin that Miss brought back from the Duke's Mansion last month is missing."

Xie Tinglan lowered his eyelids, rolled his eyes, and snorted softly.

Yuxiu clenched her fists, "I will send someone to search the courtyards immediately! This man is so daring that he dared to break into Miss's boudoir to steal things!"

"The hairpin was given by my aunt. The sapphire on the hairpin is a priceless treasure. You go directly to Shuntian Mansion to report to the officials, saying that my house has lost the treasure, and let the governor of Shuntian Mansion send someone to investigate."

Yuxiu's eyes moved.

If the thief is found out in private, at most he will be kicked out of the house with a few boards, but if the trouble is brought to the Shun Tian Mansion, then this person will be in serious trouble.

Yuxiu replied yes, turned around and left the mansion, and reported this matter to Shuntian Mansion.

Yin of Shuntian Mansion had not returned to the mansion in the previous court, but the Fu Cheng was there, and when he heard that Yu Xiu was from the Shangshu Mansion, he immediately dispatched people to follow Yuxiu to the Shangshu Mansion.

Xie Boming sent Mrs. Ji away and hadn't returned to the mansion yet, Yuxiu directly led Fucheng to Bixiao Courtyard.

When the servants of Bixiaoyuan saw so many guards wearing swords, they were so frightened that they hid in the corridor and did not dare to make a sound.

Zhong Ling, who had disappeared for a whole morning, poured out at this time, she saw Yuxiu leading the people in, and hurried over.

"Yuxiu!" Zhong Ling quietly called out, "What's going on? They, who are they! How dare you trespass on the young lady's yard!"

Yuxiu originally wanted to tell her directly, but the words came to her lips, but she didn't say them out.

After thinking about it, she still didn't want to startle the snake, so she vaguely said, "I don't know what happened, it was Miss who asked me to find him."

At this time, Xie Tinglan also came from the inner courtyard, she met Fu Cheng face to face, and said in a warm voice, "Please, my lord."

Fu Cheng didn't dare to neglect, and hurriedly returned the gift.

Xie Tinglan said: "Your Excellency, you don't need to be restrained. Since you have found your lord, you will naturally find him. Your lord can just order the people under his command to search."

"Then I offended the official." Xie Tinglan said so, Fu Cheng naturally acted immediately.

A group of guards armed with knives were divided into several groups and searched immediately.

Zhong Ling folded her hands in her belly, twisting them non-stop. For some reason, she suddenly panicked.

Seeing the guards start to rummage through the yards, Zhong Ling couldn't help running to Xie Tinglan's side, "Miss, what are you doing, they messed up everything in the yard!"

Xie Tinglan ignored her, but Fu Cheng smiled and said with a good temper: "Miss, you are joking, if you don't search extensively, how can you find the thief who stole Miss Xie's treasure."

"what?!"

Zhong Ling yelled in shock, his back was wet, sweat began to seep from his head, and his hands and feet were so weak that he couldn't stand up.

Yuxiu didn't hide from her anymore, "I was afraid that if I told you, the thief would hear about it and startle the snake. In fact, when I was helping the young lady to release the hairpins, I found the hairpin that the young lady brought from the Duke's mansion last month. The hairpin is gone. It is a treasure given to Miss Wei by Mrs. Wei, and the sapphire on it is priceless!"

As soon as Yuxiu finished speaking, Zhong Ling's legs went limp, and his body slid down to the ground like noodles.

Fu Cheng has been handling cases for many years, how can he not see the weirdness of this little maid in front of him.

After thinking about it for a while, he guessed that Miss Xie's hairpin was stolen by a house thief around her.

Before Yuxiu could react, Zhong Ling knew that she couldn't hide it, she pulled Xie Tinglan's clothes, and said in tears: "Miss, I know I was wrong, I will never dare to do this again next time, I beg you to forgive this slave." Come back!"

A flash of inspiration flashed in Yuxiu's mind, and she lost her voice: "Zhong Ling! You stole the hairpin!"

"Forgive me, miss. It's the servant who looks at the lady... I see that the lady has not worn the hairpin all this time, and I am fascinated by ghosts for a while... The servant will never dare again!"

Zhong Ling knelt at Xie Tinglan's feet, kowtowed over and over again, and did not dare to stop when his head bled.

At the same time, the guards were also at Zhong Ling's residence and turned out the Jasper hairpin.

Even if she hid the box under the cracks in the bricks under the bed, she still didn't escape the experienced Shuntian Mansion Guards.

Fu Cheng brought the hairpin, looked at it a few times, and said: "According to the laws of the Southern Qin Dynasty, those who commit the crime of theft and get more than 120 pieces of money will have a staff of one hundred and travel three thousand miles. Miss Xie's hairpin, no matter what Thousands of taels of silver, killing him is not an exaggeration."

Zhong Ling trembled in shock, "Miss, please spare me! I beg you, I beg you, for the sake of my servant growing up with you and serving you for so many years! Please spare this servant! I promise that I will never dare to do this again!" Already!"

Zhong Ling really wanted to tell the truth, but when the words came to her lips, she dared not say anything.

Although she is domineering and arrogant, she is not stupid.

If she really confessed that person, even if she stayed in Xie's mansion, she would still die!

If she had known this, she shouldn't have listened to her mother and secretly thanked Tinglan for her jewelry to curry favor with that person.

She didn't expect that she would hide from him so many times before.

Xie Tinglan, who never pays attention to the things in the dowry, just noticed that the jasper hairpin was missing!
It's all Yuxiu's troublesome guy! !

Zhong Ling cursed in her heart while praying, praying that Xie Tinglan would forgive her this time for her and her mother's sake.
