Mrs. Shizi, she is both wise and brave

Chapter 27 Interrogation
The room fell silent.

Maybe it was because the atmosphere was too stagnant, even the most mischievous Su Jingzhuo stayed in the nurse's arms obediently and dared not make a sound.

Su Jingning glanced at the sweaty Nanny Yan and the fidgeting Wang Shi, only sneering in her heart.

If you had the guts to do it back then, what are you afraid of now!

Looking at the silent Cheng An and the slightly impatient Su Jingyue next to her, she just felt comfortable.

After a while, these people will all suffer the consequences themselves!

After waiting for another hour, Su Heng returned to the room with a sullen face, his eyes fixed on Wang Shi, only to see him shivering.

Feng asked: "Third brother, how is the investigation going?"

Only then did Su Heng look away, suppressing the anger in his heart, and said in a dark voice: "Thirty percent of the things are missing."

Everyone was shocked.

The Mu family is the only daughter of the Mu family and has always been treated like a treasure.When she got married, the Mu family was at its peak, so the dowry was extremely rich, and the value of [-]% of the things was astonishing!
Mrs. He was also taken aback. She had vaguely noticed that Mrs. Wang stole the dowry from Mrs. Mu before, but she just pretended not to see it because it was not easy for her to manage the housework, but she never expected that Mrs. Wang used so much of it. !
"My God! Compared with Sister Mu, what I lost is nothing!" Feng patted his chest.

Su Heng closed his eyes and let out a long breath before looking at Mrs. He again: "Mother, my son is sorry for Qiuniang and the Mu family's entrustment, so I have to write to my mother-in-law to explain the reason and apologize."

"No!" Su Xin flatly rejected him.

"Third brother is like this, but what about the reputation of the Su family?"

Su Heng said angrily: "What is the reputation of the Su family who can't even look down on their own daughter-in-law's dowry?"

Su Xin was speechless.

Su Heng said again: "Not only that, but my son has to report to the officials to find out who stole Qiuniang's things!"

"Nonsense!" He stood up in shock, "If you dare to report to the officials, don't recognize me as a mother in the future!"

Su Heng froze for a moment, then looked straight at He Shi: "Mother, are you trying to cover up?"

He's eyes flashed, avoiding his gaze.

Su Jingning saw the determination in Su Heng's eyes and cried out inwardly.

"it is good……"

"Father!" She immediately interrupted Su Heng.

Su Jingning walked over and said softly: "Father, don't be angry. Grandmother is just worried that if this matter gets out, it will damage the face of the Su family. She didn't say that she won't find out who stole the things. You misunderstood."

"Why don't we first check the women guarding the warehouse and make plans after we find them. What do you think?"

The daughter's voice made Su Heng calm down a little, and his expression was a little loose.

Seeing this, He secretly let out a sigh, and echoed, "That's what I mean."

He persuaded again: "Heng'er, mother knows that you are angry, but you have to think about Jingning Jingyue and your nephews and nieces. If this news gets out, how will they go out to meet people in the future?"

Su Heng heard the words and looked at the well-behaved daughter next to him, and finally compromised.

"Okay, let's interrogate people first!"

Only then did He feel relieved and let Mother Jiang bring him up.

There are five women in total, all with pale faces and uneasy expressions.

He was the first to ask: "Are you guys guilty of stealing from the master's house?"

After hearing this, several people immediately shouted for injustice.

He slapped the table and said angrily: "It's not that you stole it, why are there so few things?"

One of the round-faced women said: "Madam, the servants really don't know! There are three locks in each storeroom. The eldest lady and the strict manager, the servants each take one. Can’t open it, how can the servants steal it!”

"Oh? Then is there a time when someone takes three keys alone?" Su Jingning asked suddenly.

He glanced at her, but said nothing after all.

The round-faced woman shook her head: "No, this arrangement is to prevent someone from stealing privately, so no one person will be allowed to hold three by himself."

Feng snorted coldly: "Why didn't that thing disappear? Could it be possible to fly by itself?"

Su Jingning also said: "You should think about it more carefully, otherwise if you can't find anyone, it will have to be blamed on you."

After hearing this, several people cried out for injustice.

Su Jingning looked at Yanmao who was at the side: "Is there anything you want to explain?"

Sister Yan hurriedly called out to Qu: "I really don't know, this old servant! I really didn't expect things to be missing so much all of a sudden."

Su Jingning smiled, and said meaningfully: "It turns out that this is how the mother guards the dowry for Jingning!"

Sister Yan was speechless.

At this time, a woman suddenly shouted: "Your maidservant, I remembered that Nurse Yan took the key from this servant once!"

Sister Yan almost jumped up: "Mrs. Ma, don't talk nonsense, who took your key!"

Mrs. Ma shrank her neck in fright.

Feng scolded: "Presumptuous! Who allows you to interrupt?"

Sister Yan immediately fell silent.

Feng Shicai looked at Mrs. Ma again: "Go on, the masters will decide for you. If you say something well, not only will you not be punished, but you may even be rewarded!"

Madam Ma's eyes lit up, she nodded anxiously, and said, "Nurse Yan just took the key from the servant! The servant still remembers that it was August [-]th, and it was the servant's turn to be on duty, but Madam Yan suddenly came over and said to help the servant to watch for a while." , Let the servant leave the key and go back to have a meal with the family before coming back. The servant remembers it very clearly because she is grateful."

As soon as the words were finished, the woman shouted again: "Your maidservant also remembered, Sister Yan also took the key of my maidservant like this!"

After being reminded like this, the rest of them also remembered that Nanny Yan had taken their keys.

Nurse Yan on the ground was a little panicked, and glanced at Mrs. Wang at the side from time to time.

But Wang suddenly stood up and walked over to give her two slaps hard, until she was slapped with gold stars in her eyes.

"Okay, you evil slave, how dare you steal from the master's house!"

As she said that, she turned her head and threw herself at Mrs. He crying, "Mother, my daughter-in-law and housekeeper are unfavorable, I feel ashamed!"

Feng's dissatisfaction said: "Yo! What are you doing, sister-in-law? Don't delay our trial of the thief!"

Wang stared back at her fiercely, but still cried: "Mom, I just remembered that I seemed to have opened a warehouse in those few days, but because I trusted this tricky slave so much, I left after I took the things, and there was nothing wrong with her." See for yourself that the warehouse is locked."

"I think this diabolical slave took advantage of those opportunities to steal sister Mu's dowry!"

Sister Yan's eyes widened with disbelief on her face.

"Ma'am, you..."

As soon as she opened her mouth trembling, a shadow flashed over and kicked her heart directly, throwing her to the ground hard.

Immediately, the corner of Sister Yan's mouth was bleeding.

"Ah!" Su Jingrou and the others screamed in fright, and the rest were also startled.

Su Jingning looked at the figure fixedly, with treacherous eyes.

It was my uncle Su Xin.
