The first daughter is poisonous, the lord goes to bed obediently

Chapter 109 Catch the thief, the silk is all broken

On the road at night, pedestrians shuttled back and forth in twos and threes. The vendors on the side of the road packed up their stalls, carried their burdens, and rushed home to have dinner with their families.

Cheng Lianxin ran with her burden on her back, not even daring to rest for fear that Feng Junyao would leave Jinling.

She hadn't had time to wash off the excrement and urine on her body, but the stench caused passers-by to turn their heads frequently.

"Catch the thief!"

Suddenly, a sharp cry pierced the sky, causing passers-by to stop and look suspiciously at Cheng Lianxin, who smelled like excrement.

"Who is this, why is it so smelly?"

"She ran so fast, did she do something shameful?"

The passers-by started to talk about each other, Cheng Lianxin blushed, but when she heard the voice, she trembled all of a sudden, could it be that she was discovered?

She hastened to speed up her pace, however, Lin Butler had already chased after her with Feng's guards and surrounded her.

"Aunt Lian, what are you holding in your hand, can you open it for us to take a look?" Lin Butler stopped her way and asked calmly.

Hearing what he said, the passers-by realized that it was Aunt Lian, the new arrival of the Feng family.However, I heard that Aunt Lian is very favored?Why did you run out suddenly?

Cheng Lian was flustered, and hurriedly hid the burden behind her back, repeatedly saying: "Steward Lin, it's not...I..."

Butler Lin said coldly: "Just now, Nanny Song came over and said that when she was cleaning the eldest lady's clothes, she found that the dress sent by the Shangyi Bureau was missing. It is impossible for the dress to disappear, and everyone else in the mansion It was searched and no suspicion of stealing the dress was found.”

"And you are carrying a bag in your hand and running in such a hurry, could it be that you stole the lady's dress?"

Cheng Lianxin suddenly realized that she must have been tricked.

"Steward Lin, I treat the eldest lady like a daughter, so why would I steal her things. This dress was specially made for her by the Shangyi Bureau. If I move, am I courting death?" willing to let go.

Butler Lin didn't care what she said, and only told the guards behind him: "Since it is inconvenient for Aunt Lian to unpack, you can help her."

After finishing speaking, groups of guards had already stepped forward to pull the burden in Cheng Lianxin's hands.

Cheng Lianxin was naturally unwilling, and wanted to pull it back. During the push and pull, a corner of the burden was loosened, and the gorgeous dress was vaguely presented in front of everyone.

"Aunt Lian, how do you explain this?" Lin Butler pointed to the baggage in Cheng Lianxin's hand, "You don't think you want to pawn the dress for a large sum of gold and silver?"

Everyone exclaimed in unison, this dress is very expensive at first glance, if Cheng Lianxin was not guilty, how could she run away with it?

Didn't it mean that in Feng's residence, even the young lady of the Feng family was squeezed out by her? Why was she still not satisfied and insisted on stealing the dress and pawning it?

Cheng Lianxin's hand froze in mid-air, she was stunned for a long time, unable to speak anymore, seeing more and more pointing voices around her, she had the urge to cry.She couldn't tell the truth, saying that she was going to wear it to seduce Feng Junyao.

"Butler Lin, I really don't have the guts to steal Missy's dress. You have to trust me."

Her original plan was to borrow it.

Lin Butler asked puzzledly: "It's not stealing, so why did you hide in the dung truck?"

Cheng Lianxin really wanted to say that it was because she couldn't get out of the mansion, but unfortunately, no one believed her when she said it. People outside only knew that she was in the limelight in Feng's mansion, so how could she be locked up for no reason.

"Aunt Lian, why are you still refusing to let me go?" At this time, Feng Xihe spoke timidly, walking slowly from the front, with reddish eye circles.

Everyone saw it, and felt that this eldest lady was really pitiful, her mother died early, and now a stepmother came, but the stepmother was such a virtuous person.

Cheng Lianxin held the bundle and didn't dare to move it, then she presented it with trembling hands.

"Miss, I'll return the dress to you as it is, and let's just pretend nothing happened, okay?"

Feng Xihe glanced at her with some fear, took two steps back, lowered his head and asked, "Aunt Lian, do you really want to give it back to me?"

"Yeah, look, I haven't even touched it." Cheng Lianxin opened the bag, ready to take out the dress for her inspection.

Unexpectedly, when she saw the broken cloth inside, she threw the burden on the ground like a thunderbolt.

With this throwing, all the scattered pieces of cloth were spread out and presented in front of everyone's eyes.

Feng Xihe seemed to be terrified, and said in disbelief: "Aunt Lian, even if you don't like me, you can't make fun of the dress sent by the palace! Aren't you trapping me in injustice?"

"Miss, I don't, I really don't." Cheng Lianxin shook her head vigorously, her face pale.

She seemed to have foreseen her fate, her heart seemed to sink to the bottom of the lake, she felt that the road in front of her was dark, and she almost fainted.

When everyone saw this, they were all sad, thinking that this Aunt Lian was really vicious, and she secretly ruined the dress.If it reaches His Majesty's ears and blames Miss Feng, wouldn't Miss Feng be miserable?
"Aunt Lian, tell me why? Do I really hate you so much? You have to put me to death before you are willing." Feng Xihe couldn't hold back the tears in his eyes, took the handkerchief Qian Yun handed over, and wiped it corner of eye.

Cheng Lianxin was about to open her mouth, but she saw Lu Zhu rushing out of the mansion.

"Miss, this servant has something to say." Lv Zhu ran out of breath, and handed over a hairpin in her hand, "This afternoon, Aunt Lian found me in the back garden, and she insisted on giving me a bundle. Give me this hairpin, and let me throw away the burden when I go out to buy cakes for the old lady, saying that this hairpin is expensive enough to pay me."

"The maid looked at Aunt Lian's expression and felt that what she asked me to throw away was not a good thing. Although the servant did not have such valuable jewelry, she couldn't be sorry for the Duke's mansion, so she didn't agree. Then, in order for me to keep this secret, Aunt Lian, Give me this hairpin."

"She also threatened me that if I shared it, she would let me hang out with her."

After Luzhu said it in one breath, when everyone looked at Cheng Lianxin, there was more contempt in their eyes.

Feng Xihe wiped away his tears, and took the hairpin, "Not all her things are from our house, so bring them to me."

However, when she looked down at the hairpin carefully, she was so frightened that she threw the hairpin to the ground again with a "ding".

"This hairpin is engraved with the word 'Zhao'." Feng Xihe showed a very puzzled look, "Aunt Lian, could it be that you are also the one who turned your elbows away? You married into our family, why do you still use Zhao? family's hairpin to buy the maid?"

Cheng Lian wanted to say that her sister gave her to her, but she is now the daughter of the magistrate of Cheng. If she made it clear, then she would admit that she was deceiving them from the beginning.

So, she didn't know what to say, but just collapsed on the ground blankly.

"Tsk tsk, I didn't expect that Mr. Zhao Xiaohou is a person who is one-sided on the outside and another on the back." While she was hesitating, a man with a scar on his forehead and ragged clothes couldn't help shaking his head and sighing: "I just had a good heart this day." After coming here with good intentions to give away the dress, I won a good reputation."

"As a result, they secretly instigated someone to destroy the dress, and let the eldest lady bear the holy wrath. You said, who is this, really."

A few people around him echoed, "Yes, yes, I really didn't expect the famous Hou Mansion to do such a thing."

After hearing this, other passers-by started talking about it.They were wondering whether Cheng Lianxin's destruction of the dress had anything to do with the Zhao family.

"Aunt Lian, after all, you are my stepmother. If you ruined the dress, His Majesty will inevitably blame the entire Duke's Mansion." Feng Xihe said with tears in his eyes: "Forget it, I have to suffer. Accept fate."

The crowd of onlookers is growing.Seeing her like this, everyone felt reluctance in their hearts. At this moment, Miss Feng still couldn't bear to blame Aunt Lian, so she was kind-hearted.

Among them, a few people hugged their chests and said with righteous indignation: "Miss, even your Aunt Lian has no courage to destroy the dress. Maybe there is someone behind the instructions."

"Why don't you report this matter to the government and let the government find out the truth. Don't worry, so many of us have seen it and can prove your innocence. Our Majesty is also a wise monarch. Indiscriminate, wronged the Duke's Mansion."

Driven by these few people, other people did not start to respond positively, shouting that they could testify for Feng Xihe.

Not long after, the commotion here attracted police officers with knives patrolling the street. They came to inquire, Cheng Lianxin was pushed in front of the police officers by angry passers-by. Tell the reason to the police leader who came.

After confirming with Butler Lin again, the leader of the policeman looked at the broken dress on the ground and shouted angrily: "Bold, how dare you destroy Shang Gongju's dress, take it away!"

After finishing speaking, he ordered Cheng Lianxin to be dragged to the Ministry of Criminal Justice for interrogation.

After Cheng Lianxin was taken away, the rest of the people comforted Feng Xihe and dispersed.

There was a trace of coldness in Feng Xihe's eyes, and after the crowd in front of the door decreased, the few people who had been encouraging in the crowd walked towards her quietly.

"How is it? Boss, is my performance okay?" Scar Six walked forward with a playful smile.

The person beside him tapped him on the head, "Don't take the credit, just now, I played the hardest, and I even threw a cabbage on that bitch."

Then, he spread his hands, and his eyes rolled around, "So, boss, where is the reward?"

"Stop arguing, everyone has a share." Feng Xihe chuckled, and asked Qian Yun to collect the rewards, and everyone gave a little.

After that, she entered the door, and the door of Feng Mansion was closed again.

"Miss, because time is limited, the old lady invited the tailor from Nanhu Embroidery Village, and wants to re-order a dress for you as soon as possible, so that you can also take a look at the style." Luzhu came from behind the door and whispered in her ear. Bian reminded.

At this moment, Feng Qingyue trotted over, snatched the words of the green bamboo, and said, "My sister is going to make clothes, why are you looking for an embroidery shop, can't I help her do it?"

Feng Xi and Lue rejected her proposal in doubt, and said, "Qingyue, you should go back to your house and have a good rest. You should not do such an eye-consuming job as making clothes. Moreover, in just a few days , it is a laborious and exhausting thing to finish a dress."

"Sister, don't you believe that I can do it well?" Feng Qingyue blinked her big eyes and said confidently, "Don't worry, I have never had any problems working as a female worker. You are so kind to me. I want to make you a dress." .”

Feng Xihe thought for a moment, then replied: "Okay, then don't work too hard."
