After marrying a powerful minister, the female partner was pampered

Chapter 15 Calm down

"I remember clearly that when I came home yesterday, I rested for a while, and Cai Die fetched water for me to clean my hands. Then I took off the jade bracelet and put it on the dressing table.

What I also saw this morning was that I came to accompany you to have breakfast. When I returned, the jade bracelet was gone.

That was given to me by my mother, it's all my fault, I was too careless, I shouldn't have taken it off if I had known..." Qiao Jingjing looked helpless and at the same time blamed herself.

When Mother Lu heard this, she already understood something. She looked at Aunt Rong and said, "Go and find Cai Die. Also, have someone search her house."

Aunt Rong also thought that it might be related to Cai Die. After all, the only one serving Madam was Cai Die, and she could enter and leave Madam's room freely.

Aunt Rong took the people there.

Mother Lu looked at the helpless Qiao Jingjing, frowned and said, "It's just a jade bracelet. If it really falls off, I'll just buy you one."

You are Ah Xing's daughter-in-law. If you are so impatient and go to the capital in the future, you will definitely embarrass Ah Xing.

Calm down! "

Hearing this, Qiao Jingjing clutched the handkerchief and nodded vigorously, "I, I understand."

Mother Lu glanced at her with disgust, but said nothing more.

Soon, Aunt Rong came back, but her face looked ugly.

"Caidie is not here. I searched her house and couldn't find Madam's jade bracelet, but I found this under her pillow." As she said that, she spread her hands out, and there were two gold leaves.

Mother Lu's expression changed, "Where did she get this?"

"I don't know either." Aunt Rong shook her head.

Qiao Jingjing said in a weak voice: "Yes, I gave it to her..."

Mother Lu asked in confusion: "Why did you give her this?"

"She, she spoke ugly, and I couldn't get angry, so I slapped her. I was afraid that she would cause trouble, so I gave her two tablets..." Qiao Jingjing's tone weakened, "Later, she took two more tablets herself."

Aunt Rong took a breath and looked at Mother Lu.

Mother Lu's face darkened, "Caidie is a servant, even if you beat her, you don't have to give her gold leaves."

"But, but she is also from Xingzi Village. We all grew up together and are all acquaintances..." Qiao Jingjing lowered her head and said.

Hearing this, Mother Lu was silent for a moment, and then said calmly: "I didn't think well enough."

The Lu family had no servants before, but the servants they serve now were all temporarily found when Lu Xingzhi and Qiao Jingjing got married.

Because she was going to the capital soon, she wanted to find someone she knew well and knew to serve her. It would be more convenient to use her when she went to the capital.

But she neglected it. People who are too familiar with each other make mistakes, and it is even harder to apologize.

And people who are familiar with each other will take advantage of their familiarity with the host, regardless of priorities, and act unscrupulously.

"Aunt Rong, ask the second master to take someone to catch Cai Die. If a jade bracelet is found on her, there is no need to bring it back. Just send it to the government." Mother Lu ordered.

"Yes." Aunt Rong hurried over.

Qiao Jingjing secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

She actually doesn't care who serves her.

But Cai Die was too unruly, and because she was from Xingzi Village, she didn't take her seriously.

If things go on like this, won't he be riding on her head?

She casually gave her two gold leaves, and Cai Die thought she had a hold on her, so she acted more arrogantly and without any scruples.

If she dared to take away her jade bracelet, she would definitely be punished. She was easy to bully, so she didn't dare to poke it out.

As everyone knows, these are all deliberately designed by her. She was going to the capital soon, and she couldn't let such a person go with her and continue to stay by her side to cause trouble for her.

Now it seems that her thoughts were not in vain.

Not only will Cai Die be expelled, but other servants in the family and Mother Lu will also be cautious again.

However, Mother Lu's tone of voice and decisive behavior made her a little confused.

Is Mother Lu really an ordinary peasant woman?

When Lu Xingyan led people to find Cai Die, she had just come out of the pawn shop in the town, holding hundreds of taels of silver notes in her hand, and she was trembling.

Darling, a jade bracelet is worth so much silver?

She was so happy.

Getting so much money for free so easily made her even more greedy, and she made up her mind to take good things from Qiao Jingjing in the future.

Anyway, that coward Qiao Jingjing didn't dare to say anything.

She felt quite proud. As soon as she put the banknotes into her arms, she was surrounded by a group of people who suddenly appeared.

When she saw clearly that the person coming was Lu Xingyan, her expression changed and she stammered: "Okay, Xingyan... why are you here in town too?"

Lu Xingyan said in disgust: "Did you steal my sister-in-law's jade bracelet?"

Cai Die panicked and denied: "No, no, who did you listen to? How could I steal Qiao Jingjing's bracelet?"

Lu Xingyan was too lazy to talk nonsense to her, "Take her back."

At this time, Cai Die was completely panicked. She pulled Lu Xingyan's sleeve and said, "Xingyan, we grew up together. You can't do this to me. I didn't steal any jade bracelets?"

Lu Xingyan shook off her hand and said impatiently: "If you didn't steal it, just go back and explain it clearly."

After hearing this, Cai Die forced herself to calm down.

Anyway, the jade bracelet has been pawned by her. As long as she doesn't admit it, they can't do anything to her.

Soon, Lu Xingyan took Cai Die back.

Facing Mother Lu, Cai Die fell to her knees with a plop, "Aunt Lu... No, old lady, I didn't steal Jingjing's jade bracelet. I was wrongly accused. You must make the decision for me."

Lu Shuangshuang, who was sitting on the side, saw this, glanced at Qiao Jingjing, and said angrily: "Mom, is there any misunderstanding in this? Cai Die will not steal our things."

Qiao Jingjing secretly shook her head, but didn't say anything. Anyway, Mother Lu was here and she would take care of it.

Sure enough, Mother Lu glanced at her daughter displeased, frowned and said, "If she stole it, just search her body. Aunt Rong!"

Aunt Rong understood and immediately went forward to search Cai Die.

However, she searched again and couldn't find the so-called jade bracelet.

"Old madam, I didn't find the jade bracelet." She turned to Mother Lu and said.

Before Mother Lu could speak, Lu Shuangshuang spoke first, "Qiao Jingjing, did you hear that Cai Die didn't take your jade bracelet?"

Qiao Jingjing ignored her, but looked at Lu Xingyan and asked, "Where did Xingyan find her?"

"At the door of the pawn shop." Lu Xingyan said, suddenly thinking of something, "So Cai Die pawned the jade bracelet?"

Hearing this, Qiao Jingjing turned to Cai Die and asked, "Seeing as they are all from the same village, I'll give you another chance. Tell me the whereabouts of the jade bracelet honestly. Otherwise, I will report to the official."

When she heard that she was going to report to the official, Caidi's expression changed, but she glared at Qiao Jingjing fiercely, "I didn't steal your jade bracelet. You must have lost it yourself and framed it on me. Just because you married Brother Xingzhi thinks that he is an official's wife, so I call you by your first name, and you are unhappy."
