Peerless Moe Concubine: Get the Black Belly of Your Highness

Chapter 72 Undercurrents surging
Nalan Qing still wanted to talk, but Prime Minister Nalan scolded: "Okay, stop talking!"

"Si girl, bring me your gift list!" Prime Minister Nalan looked at Nalan Ying.

"En!" Nalan Ying nodded, and then handed the gift list to Prime Minister Nalan.

Prime Minister Nalan read it carefully, and when he saw that there were two pairs of longan pearls, his heart skipped a beat.

"Two pairs are four, right?" Nalan Ying said with a frown.

"Yes!" Prime Minister Nalan nodded, but there are only three left in the box.

"Who carried the box just now?" Prime Minister Nalan said sharply.

Immediately, a few servants stood up and waited for Prime Minister Nalan to leave.

"Come on, do a body search!" Prime Minister Nalan said.

"Yes!" A guard responded, and then came forward to inspect the bodies of the servants who carried the boxes. After inspection, they found that there were no longan pearls hidden on their bodies.

"Go back to Master, I didn't find it!" The guard reported to Prime Minister Nalan.

Prime Minister Nalan's brows were almost congealed into Sichuan characters, he didn't understand, it was only one night, how could there be one pearl missing?

"Father, maybe this pearl is missing in the palace?" Nalan Qing asked thoughtfully.

Prime Minister Nalan's eyes lit up, and he nodded immediately. Just as he was about to speak, he heard Nalan Ying say, "When the dowry gift was delivered, grandma accepted it herself. Didn't she see that it was missing?"

Prime Minister Nalan's face turned cold immediately, if it was said that it was lost from the palace, then it must be the old lady's fault, if it was said that it was lost in the small warehouse, then the old lady couldn't get rid of it, this matter is really embarrassing He is in trouble.

There was a sound of shifting outside, and it was almost dawn at this time, Prime Minister Nalan glanced at everyone complicatedly and said coldly: "Go back, it's getting late, let's talk about the longan pearl tomorrow!"

"Father, this is not acceptable!" Nalan Ying said eagerly.

"Why not?" Prime Minister Nalan cast a displeased glance at Nalan Ying.

"Father, this betrothal gift was sent by the palace. If it is a little bit less, how do you let the people in the palace treat your daughter?" Nalan Ying said worriedly.

"You only care about yourself, but don't you think about your mother? But because of your affairs, you have been standing outside for half the night. The cold wind is biting. If you are all sick, can you afford it?" Nalan Qing looked at it dissatisfied. She glanced.

"Isn't my matter also the matter of the entire Nalan family? If the palace knew that this longan pearl was lost just after it was delivered, what would they think of the Nalan family?" Nalan Ying said lightly.

"You!" Nalan Qing blushed angrily, but couldn't say anything to refute.

"Father, mother, this matter has nothing to do with me or my aunt anyway, why don't we and others who have nothing to do with each other retreat?" Nalan Rou frowned and said.

"Yes, yes, the sky is almost dawn, tomorrow we have to go to the embroidery room to learn new embroidery work?" Second Miss Nalan Xi said immediately.

"Do you think so? Sister Qiuting?" Nalan Rou looked at Nalan Qiuting who was silent at the side.

"En!" Nalan Qiuting could only nod his head.

"In that case, you all go down!" Prime Minister Nalan waved his hand.

"Thank you father!" Nalan Rou said happily.

Nalan Qing watched the crowd leave with dim eyes, while she and her mother remained at the scene, bursts of anger could not help but burst out in her heart.

When Fang Ruoqiong left with Nalan Rou, she caught sight of Fang De standing aside and couldn't help but frowned and said, "Fang De, why are you still here? Shouldn't you be in the stable? Will there be no life in your stable tomorrow morning?" ?”

"Yes, the servant will leave now!" Fang De said with a nod and bow.

Nalan Ying's eyes sank, and she stood in front of Fang De all of a sudden, blocking his way.

"Miss Si, what are you doing?" Fang De looked at Nalan Ying nervously.

"Nalan Ying, what are you doing to stop Fang De?" Third Aunt Fang Ruoqiong also asked suspiciously.

"Fang De?" Nalan Ying raised an eyebrow.

"Miss Si, the servant is here!" Fang De replied boldly.

"I heard that you lost a lot of money betting on horses the day before yesterday?" Nalan Ying said, looking at Fang De.

Fang De broke out in cold sweat, and looked at the third aunt beside him for help, and said, "Miss Si, the servant has been staying in the mansion dutifully, how could it be possible to bet on horses? Miss Si is about Did you remember the wrong person?"

"Wrong person?" Nalan Ying nodded clearly.

"Si girl, you too, it's fine if you have a prejudice against Fang De in your heart, don't slander people indiscriminately!" San Yiniang scolded with a cold face.

As soon as these words came out, everyone's expressions were different, especially Prime Minister Nalan's face, which was extremely ugly.

"Fang De, don't get out!" Prime Minister Nalan sternly shouted.

"You can't let him go!" The eldest lady Nalan Qing unexpectedly stopped Fang De.

"Miss?" Fang De's back tightened. He deserved to suffer the misfortune of eight lifetimes today. First Miss Si, and now Missy, they all came for him.

"Fang De, isn't your monthly allowance not much?" Nalan Qing frowned and asked.

"Not much!" Fang De replied with his waist bowed.

"Since there are not many, where do you get the money to bet on the horses?" Nalan Qing looked at Fang De suspiciously.

Fang Ruoqiong just felt her brain explode suddenly, what does Nalan Qing mean by this? Under the eyes of everyone, isn't it obvious that she Fang Ruoqiong used money from Nalan Mansion to fill Fang De?
"I, I saved it by myself!" Fang De replied nervously.

"I saved it by myself? How did I hear that you often ask your servants for money, even coaxing and deceiving them to take away the rewards they won in the lion dance competition. You are so short of money, if you It may not be known if you are really interested in the longan pearl, but you brought someone to carry the box just now!" Nalan Qing said sarcastically.

"Miss, you have a red mouth and white teeth, don't indiscriminately wrong a good person!" Fang De knelt down on the ground with an anxious plop.

There was a smile on the corner of Nalan Ying's mouth, she just mentioned the beginning, if Nalan Qing was smart, she would know what to catch and get rid of the suspicion for her mother.

Sure enough, when the eldest lady heard this, she hurriedly said: "Yes, I remember clearly. Today, people from the gambling shop came to the mansion to look for Fang De. It turns out that Fang De owed usury at the casino!"

The third aunt at the side only felt a chill down her back. After all, Fang De is her own brother, how can she just watch him being bullied?
"Master, you have to decide with the concubine. No matter how bad Fang De is, he will never do something like stealing longan pearls!" Fang Ruoqiong said with red eyes.
