The concubine Jiaojiao has high means, but the sick prince does not flirt

Chapter 362
Her eviction order is more obvious.

Bai Zhi still acted as if she didn't understand, waved her hands and said with a smile: "I'm no different, Madam, please be polite, don't worry about preparing dinner."

When Tao Zi heard this, she sneered and said, "Hmph, he is also the favored county magistrate in the capital, why hasn't he eaten any good food?"

"Old madam, something bad has happened. The treasure of your house that you brought along with you has been lost in the warehouse..."

Suddenly the old housekeeper ran in staggeringly, knelt on the ground with fear on his face and complained.

The old lady frowned slightly, and reprimanded: "You are becoming weaker and weaker as a housekeeper, stand up and speak."

Only then did the old housekeeper get up, and said again: "You will attend the wedding banquet of Zhang Dahu's family in the city tomorrow, and Mrs. Li went to the storeroom to get the Hetian Biyu hairpin. Who would have expected that the box would be empty..."

The old lady stood up suddenly, but then sat down again.

She seemed to be trying to control her emotions, and asked quietly: "Are you watching? Did you find the wrong box?"

The old housekeeper swore: "Absolutely not. Every time I take the Hetian Bi jade hairpin out of the box, it is impossible to take it wrong."

Tao Zi smiled coldly: "Emotions are here, no wonder Baba came to make trouble at the door, he definitely didn't run away."

Her words made everyone suddenly realize that it meant that Bai Zhi came to make trouble today, just to search the house and take Yuzan along.

The old lady's face sank like water, and she said seriously: "There is nothing rare about this Hetian jade hairpin, because it is the best Hetian jade, and it was given by the previous emperor, and it is inlaid with various gemstones from the Persian Gulf. Therefore, this hairpin is not only a sacred object of the royal family, but also my thoughts about the past, and it must be retrieved intact, otherwise my old life will die soon, and life will be meaningless."

Hearing this, he immediately fell to his knees.

"The old lady has a long life without bounds."

The old lady waved her hand impatiently and said: "Forget it, don't say such hypocritical words, you should hurry to find the hairpin."

The old housekeeper and others got up immediately, and asked respectfully: "The old lady and the slave want to seal the door of the house, maybe the hairpin was lost when I opened the warehouse just now. Usually the door of the warehouse is locked, and there are many anti-theft mechanisms inside, so it is impossible to be caught. Robber, so that person must have not left the mansion, and he will definitely be found."

The old lady nodded and agreed: "As long as you can find the hairpin, you can decide for yourself."

The old butler took the order and left.

Tao Zi also began to analyze who was most likely to steal the hairpin, and of course the analysis came to the end, Bai Zhi's head.

She smiled slightly, why is there no reason to blame her?

Let's do it and be optimistic.

About a quarter of an hour later, the old butler came back.

"Tell the old lady that the mansion has been searched up and down, and no one has gone out, and no hairpin was found."

Upon hearing this, the old lady was so angry that she raised her hand and slapped the table hard, cursing: "How dare you play tricks on me!"

Immediately there was another person kneeling on the ground.

Of course only Angelica is standing.

Shen Changyan was inconvenient to enter the inner house, so he had been drinking tea in the lobby of the front yard.

The old lady looked at Bai Zhi with a funny face, and sighed: "Look at these things, besides knowing how to kneel, what else can you do? The matter you want to investigate has no results, and I let you see a joke at home again. It seems that this mansion is You have to check it out, otherwise you won’t even know if your house is empty.”

Bai Zhi hurriedly laughed and said: "The old lady manages the family well, even if something happens, it's just an accident, it's okay."

Tao Zi sneered beside him and said, "Since others have checked and there is nothing wrong, shouldn't we also check? After all, the servants who came in and out of the warehouse were all here."

The old lady was about to speak, when the old housekeeper suggested: "Old lady, what the eldest lady said is very true. Even if you want to avoid suspicion, you should check it out. It's not that you don't trust the masters in this house."

These words are reasonable, Bai Zhi understood that she was actually targeting her, so she smiled and said: "It's time to investigate, let me first. In the warehouse, I checked things by myself, and I was the most suspicious."

Suspicion is not something he can clear up, so he simply hugged him, which made him look more open.

Tao Zi immediately snorted displeasedly: "You are used to flattery, who knows if you steal it, will you use magic to transfer it?"

"Then let's see if there is someone who is better than me and can suppress my spells. It is not impossible for there to be someone beyond others, and there is a sky beyond the sky. My little spells are just a child's trick in front of the masters, so it is not worth mentioning, so there is no need for the eldest lady Worry."

Bai Zhi responded with a smile, which also hinted that she knew that someone had secretly tampered with the peach house before, but she felt inferior.

While speaking, she subconsciously focused on the old lady from the corner of her eye.

But seeing that the old lady's face was still sinking like water, she seemed to have not heard the dispute between the two, and seemed to be thinking about something.

This subtle change made Bai Zhi realize that the old lady was in a bad mood because she lost her precious dowry jewellery, so that she no longer spoke out to stop her granddaughter from being domineering and rude.

Taozi pursed her lips and snorted, "It's good that you know it. It's best not to make small moves, otherwise the death will be even worse. If you take it, hand it over obediently now, nothing will happen."

Bai Zhi stopped wasting words with her, but directly bowed to the old lady and said: "Old lady, let's start, search me first."

Since the purpose is only for her alone, then stop acting and get straight to the point.

The old lady didn't refuse, she just sighed lightly and said sorry, "That would be an offense."

Bai Zhi responded with a smile: "It's okay, it should be, isn't the old lady also very supportive of me?"

The old lady nodded in relief, stopped talking, but glanced at the old housekeeper.

The old housekeeper immediately stepped forward, bowed very humbly and said: "The county lord has offended."

Bai Zhi still smiled and said, "It's okay."

Tao Zi wanted to search Bai Zhi, but was stopped by the old housekeeper: "Miss, this is not something you should do, let the old servants come here."

Then he asked Mrs. Lin to search Bai Zhi in public.

Granny Lin was not polite when she got the order, and fumbled with Bai Zhi with her hands up and down.

With a calm expression on her face, Bai Zhi secretly condensed her skin into a barrier of toughness.

Even if Mrs. Lin touched her skin, it was an enchantment, not real skin.

Suddenly, Mrs. Lin's hand stopped on Bai Zhi's waist.

The old butler standing next to him immediately asked, "How?"

Mrs. Lin didn't answer, but turned her head to look at the old lady and said, "It seems that there is something hard and long here."

The old lady snorted and made no response.

The old housekeeper ordered from the side: "Can't you feel something? If you don't feel it, take it out and have a look, don't embarrass the county lord."

Granny Lin got the hint, and immediately took out a hairpin from Baizhi's belt.

There is no need for the old lady to confirm, even those present who have never seen the old lady's hairpin will understand that it is the old lady's hairpin. The body of the hairpin is transparent and emerald green, and it is inlaid with gemstones of various colors. It is definitely a treasure among the best.
