Chapter 148 Dealing with the Restless Concubine (18)

"What's the matter, Mammy?" Jiang Muxue asked the maids in charge temporarily, and said to Mammy Jiang.

"I don't understand something, I want to ask Madam."

Seeing her being rude, Hongying was about to scold her, but was stopped by Jiang Muxue, "Mother, please tell me."

"I heard that you want to check the dowry list of Mrs. Xian (referring to Qiu's), and check the accounts with the real thing?" Mother Jiang's voice was a little sharp because of emotion.

The aunt and the woman in charge in the house were also surprised when they heard it. Generally speaking, in order to show their innocence and selflessness, step-wives would stay away from the property left by the first wife.
No wonder Jiang Nanny was so excited, she didn't know that she thought that the step-wife wanted to preempt his wife's things.

"It's true. Since I took over the Hou's mansion, I must have some understanding of all the things in the mansion. My sister has been away for more than a year. I heard that her dowry and other things have never been checked. This is very uncomfortable. OK."

"If you don't check it clearly now, if one or two are missing in the future... then it's hard to tell whose responsibility it is!"

Mother Jiang couldn't believe that this woman would be so kind. Her young lady came from a famous family in the capital, and the dowry was all the best things, some of which were even priceless!
This bumpkin's step-wife has just taken over the power of the family, so he dares to blatantly plan on those things!
snort!I'm going to die here, old lady, and I can't let her get my hands on it!
"Don't worry about this, madam. After the first lady left, the old lady once sent someone to check the list and the objects carefully, and everything was correct. Afterwards, the old lady specially ordered someone to take care of those things, saying that in the future these will be blessings. Brother and sister Xi."

"Oh, they're all right?" Jiang Muxue asked seriously, pretending not to understand what she said.

"Yes, everything is right!" Mother Jiang replied firmly.

Aunt Wang shook her head secretly, how dare this mother Jiang be so rude and say that these things will be Fu Geer and Sister Xi in the future, who said otherwise!

What you said, it seems that Madam is going to steal it!
"Among the people who take care of those things, is there a mammy who personally arranges them? Is there a regular spot check?"

"Of course! Those people are all old people who were used by my wife when she was alive, and the old slave often asks them to conduct spot checks on a regular basis. Madam, please rest assured!"

"Oh, that's good, that's enough, since Mammy is so assured, my wife won't investigate."

After Jiang Muxue finished speaking, Nanny Jiang saluted slightly and walked out proudly.

Aunts and wives look at me and I look at you, and they dare not show their air.

But Jiang Muxue was not as annoyed as they imagined, she only heard her mutter in a low voice, "It's so tightly covered, it seems like others are going to snatch it, and it's too underestimating."

"Ma'am, don't be angry! Don't be as knowledgeable as that stupid old lady." Aunt Wang comforted her with a busy smile.

"When Mrs. Xian was alive, she was very disliked by her. Everyone only respected her because she was the wet nurse of Mrs. Xian." Aunt Zhang was also busy talking.

Jiang Muxue waved her hand, "It's all right, just don't check if you don't want to! Anyway, Madam Jiang will take care of it, so I don't think there will be any mistakes."

Seeing that Jiang Muxue was not angry, everyone hurriedly smiled and exposed it.

It's just that no one expected that within a few days after this incident, there would be thieves in the mansion.

The thief ran impartially, and was caught by Mrs. Lu just in time.

That evening, there was a rain, and the air outside was very clear after the rain. Mrs. Lu took Jiang Muxue, Lu Qianrou and a large group of maids and women to the garden. The three talked and laughed.

Of course, Lu Qianrou's cynicism towards Jiang Muxue was inseparable from this, and she acted like a baby to Mrs. Lu and begged for care in front of everyone.

That form was not as good as that of Lu and Xi. Jiang Muxue knew what was on her mind, and didn't care about her, and tactfully covered it up every time.

Originally, Mrs. Lu was in a good mood, but after many times, she was gradually left speechless by this silly girl, thinking all the way, why did she raise such a fool?

As she was walking unhappily, suddenly a little girl panicked, holding something in her arms, hiding behind the rockery, it seemed that she thought there was no one else.

As soon as the clinker came out, I saw Mrs. Lu and her party walking towards the rockery from a distance, and I was dumbfounded.

Everyone had already seen her, and it was too late for her to escape.

After Mrs. Lu's severe interrogation, everyone discovered that the blue and white porcelain vase she held in her arms turned out to be Qiu's dowry.

Mrs. Lu suddenly lost her temper, and she was not in the mood to go shopping in the garden, so she took her directly to Songhe Courtyard.

If you don't check, you don't know, but when you check, you are shocked, and there are several pieces of porcelain missing in Qiu's dowry, and they are all small but most valuable things.

So, Mrs. Lu called all the people who were in charge of the Qiu family's dowry, including Mother Jiang.

Hearing this, Mother Jiang was dumbfounded.

She really didn't expect that these people would be so bold and dare to steal things from their young lady. These people were all following the young lady and got her favor. How long did the young lady leave?
Has conscience been eaten by dogs?

After careful investigation, this is a criminal gang. Under the joint confession of several maids and mothers-in-law, they started stealing about two months ago.The reason is that they saw that the new wife was soft and easy to talk, and she had no deterrent effect. Even Mother Jiang dared not to take her seriously.

Therefore, their courage is getting bigger and bigger.

When several people said this, the one who was most angry was naturally Mrs. Lu, you don't pay attention to the person I chose!
who are you?
At first, Mrs. Lu felt that this matter was embarrassing, and she didn't intend to make it public!

But now she doesn't think so anymore, such a damn house slave deserves to be beaten to death!
Therefore, Mrs. Lu immediately decided to send all these people to the government office and punish them for the crime of theft.

They were originally slaves, so the legal punishment was even more severe for them. The two leaders were executed directly, and the others were sent to the frontier to be slaves forever.

This incident caused quite a stir in the Marquis of Anding's mansion. No matter the sky was bright or the day was dark, no matter who was doing things, they were cautious.

On the night of the incident, Mother Jiang stayed up all night.

Fear because of the unknown.

At this moment, she is no longer loyal to her young lady, or confronting the Song family, but worried about her future and her family.

She died alone, but she had sons and daughters, grandsons and grandchildren. When she thought of them, all her loyalty and responsibilities were thrown away, and all she could think about was how not to hurt her family.

Strangely, for two days in a row, Mrs. Lu did not deal with her, and no one from Mrs. Hou's side did anything.

Mother Jiang became more and more uneasy.

And Jiang Muxue also felt weird.

She didn't understand why Mrs. Lu still kept this old idiot, Nanny Jiang.

Although the facts proved that the old idiot was not involved in the theft, he was always charged with lax supervision. In addition, the incident of "contradicting Mrs. Hou" happened first.
