gold princess

When everyone arrived, Lou Zhentian glanced at the old housekeeper, who said, "At noon today, the eldest lady and the third lady went to the storeroom to get the mirror table to paint black, but unexpectedly found that the third lady's dowry was missing six pieces of jewelry, Four bright pearls, and a red bean bracelet missing."

As soon as the old housekeeper finished speaking, Lou Zhentian slapped the table angrily, and asked angrily, "Who did it? To be honest, if I catch you, I will take care of you!"

Yun Buhui's heart skipped a beat, Lou Yanran's dowry?It was the dowry from the big warehouse or the dowry from the second warehouse. They wanted to paint the mirror table. She remembered that there was a very delicate mirror table in the second warehouse that was painted with red paint. The dowry uncle prepared seemed to have no mirror table. If it was the second warehouse, she had only entered it yesterday.

No one answered in the hall, the eldest lady said angrily, "It's unreasonable, this is the dowry prepared by my mother's family for Yanran, so much thought has been spent, the number has meaning, and it was snatched away by greedy people, isn't this a curse to Yanran? Who stole the dowry?"

Lou Yanran frowned, but said nothing.

The second lady played with Kou Dan, "It's a coincidence that you all counted the accounts on weekdays, and suddenly went to the warehouse to say that you need to paint. Such a coincidence, you found that the dowry is less, who knows if it is less."

Lou Yanran said softly, "Second Aunt, my grandmother painted the mirror table red. Yan Ran didn't like it. The mirror table was made of high-quality camphor wood, and the carving was elegant. It was most suitable for black paint. Yan Ran discussed with her mother and wanted to paint it again. Black lacquer. My mother said that my grandmother also sent her favorite red bean bracelet, and I searched for it, but I couldn’t find it. My mother did some calculations and found out that many things were missing.”

The second lady pursed her lips, sneered and remained silent.

Lou Yanyun said angrily, "I don't know which cheap hoof it is, hands and feet are of different lengths, jealous of sister's dowry has become greedy, so hurry up and hand it over."

The third lady said, "Miss Six, the girl speaks more politely, with a low hoof on the left and a low hoof on the right, as if you are not a woman."

Lou Yanyun was blocked by the third wife, and was about to retort, but Lou Yanran turned her head to look at her, Lou Yanyun had no choice but to give up, the most important thing in front of her was the dowry, not the verbal dispute.

The number of dowries prepared has auspicious meanings, and the number of dowries is very particular about what it means, and the third wife's dowry for Yun Buhui is also very particular about the meaning.Now that the number is not right, it is an ominous sign, Lou Zhentian and Da Furen attach great importance to this marriage, how can they not be furious.If there is less jewelry in the warehouse on weekdays, it can be discussed as appropriate, and the dowry must not be ambiguous.

Lou Zhentian asked again, but no one answered, the eldest lady said angrily, "Since no one will admit it, it's best to hide those things and hide them forever."

The reason why they are so certain that it is the actions of the masters is because only the housekeeper and Lou Zhentian have the keys to the warehouse, and the lock has no trace of being pried, so it is naturally the work of the family members.

The eldest lady looked at the housekeeper with stern eyes, and asked in a deep voice, "Who has entered the warehouse after the dowry has been put in?"

In addition to the dowry, the treasury also has things from the Lou family. Sometimes the third room will go to pick up things that are missing, and the housekeeper has registered them. He said slowly, "The third lady came in once and took a batch of Suzhou embroidery. The second lady went in two times. The first time was for the Butterfly Ruyi Fan, and the second time for the bird’s nest. The seventh lady came in once, saying that she was ordered to come and get a batch of Shu brocade. The eldest lady came in three times, and took the bird’s nest, silk thread and Shu brocade. The young master came in once , once to get ginseng, and once to get bird's nest. Yesterday after the third wife arranged for the dowry, Miss Biao and Bingyue came to count, according to these people."

Lou Mingyu shook her hands in panic, "It's not me, it's not me, I didn't take my sister's dowry."

"Idiot." The second lady scolded, "The matter hasn't been clarified yet, what are you rushing to clarify? You're not the only one entering the warehouse, so why panic!"

Lou Mingyu was reprimanded by the second wife, she hurriedly lowered her head, not daring to speak, the eldest lady cast a glance at Lou Mingyu, and said with a sneer, "Are you guilty of being a thief?"

The second lady said with deep affection, squinting her eyes, "Sister, you have to have evidence for what you say, Mingyu took it, but you have to show evidence, don't let someone guard and steal, but slander the innocent. "

The eldest lady was furious, "Bastard, this is Yanran's dowry. Who dares to say anything about what I want? If I like it, I can keep a box for myself. There is no need to make a big fuss about these two things, unlike some people, I have never seen the big world, but I am greedy when I see a little jewelry, it is shameful."

The second lady's face was pretty pale by the eldest lady's words, no one is a fuel-efficient lamp, and the smell of gunpowder was very strong for a while.

Lou Zhentian had a headache, "Okay, okay, stop arguing, the most important thing is to find something, why are you arguing?"

Lou Shaoqi frowned and said, "Father, if this kind of thing happens, we must be punished severely, otherwise, whoever gets up in the future will just take the sheep and pay it back."

"Shaoqi is right. Several of you have entered the warehouse. Who actually took Yanran's dowry?"

The eldest lady and Lou Shaoqi can be ruled out, and the rest are the second lady, the third lady, Lou Mingyu and Yun Buhui, these four are the most suspicious, the second lady said, "Who cares about the mere jewels? Don't I have anything nice in my room? A red bean bracelet? Huh, I don't need that petty stuff."

"The things in my house are petty, and I don't know what good things you can come up with." The eldest lady fought back, not to be outdone, and sneered, "If you can't eat grapes, you will say grapes are sour."

The second lady raised her eyebrows, and said casually, "It's just your little things, don't tell me, I don't like it at all."

The third lady said, "I just took what I was supposed to take, it wasn't mine, and I never touched it."

Lou Mingyu shook her head in fear, and said tearfully, "It's not me...it's not me."

She was scolded by the second lady, and she was so aggressive, she was scared to tears.

Yun Buhui said, "Yesterday I counted the dowry and came out. I didn't touch my third cousin's dowry."

The eldest lady sneered, the face of a thief would never say that I am a thief, and the person who stole something would never say that he stole it. Seeing Lou Mingyu's obedient, fearful and trembling appearance, she felt very suspicious.

She has fought with the second and third wives all her life, and she knows their tempers well, only Yun Buhui and Lou Mingyu, Lou Mingyu is cowardly, cowardly, but greedy for money.Yun Buhui is like a plum blossom that admires itself, and will not do such nasty things.

Lou Shaoqi said, "Father, mother, since my aunt and sisters have said that they have never stolen anything, and they don't know who is real and who is not, why not send someone to search the house to see if they can find Yanran's dowry."
