Chapter 139

Liu'er knelt in front of Mrs. Qin and kept crying. She went out from Mrs. Qin's yard. When Song Yuxi had just returned to the mansion, and there was no one around to serve her, Mrs. Qin sent her there along with a few other people. Since then, she has been serving in Song Yuxi's inner room with Lu Wan.

After the incident happened, Song Yuxi brought Liu'er to Ningshouyuan, and told Qin about what happened in Xinyangju. Qin was furious, and immediately sent Nanny Gui to the main courtyard. Take someone, but before Nanny Gui went out, she saw Ji Lan leading a group of people into the Ningshouyuan, followed by Mrs. Ji San's Mrs. Zhou. A man with flushed face and blisters came in.

This person is the man who belittled Liu'er in Xinyang Juzhong earlier.

Song Yuxi raised her eyes to look at Ji Lan, and saw that she had a serious face. After she came, she didn't say a word, and knelt down in front of the old lady, and offered to apologize:

"My daughter-in-law has come here to plead guilty to the old lady. The guards in the garden have neglected their duties and allowed a gangster to take advantage of it. It is really my daughter-in-law's negligence. I beg the old lady to come down."

Sitting on Luohan's bed, Qin raised her hand to get her up, and asked:

"What's going on? Who is the thief?"

Ji Lan stood up, not daring to raise her head, her face filled with shame, she glanced at Mrs Zhou beside her as if complaining, and Mrs Zhou immediately knelt down, kowtowed to Mrs Qin and said:

"Old lady Mingjian, the thief was originally a distant cousin of the Ji family. His great-grandfather and Lord Hou's great-grandfather were cousins. They hadn't been in contact with each other for three generations. Who would have thought that when he came in, his parents came to the Ji family and said it was from the mansion. It is difficult to make a living. If you want to make a living in the capital, my old lady is a compassionate Bodhisattva. She would not see the younger generation suffer, so she agreed to this matter. Thinking that we are all in the capital now, she entrusted this matter to me We can do it, but our third house is only new to the capital, and we are still mud bodhisattvas crossing the river and living by touching the river. How can we have the ability to make a living for other people's homes, but the old lady is dedicated to doing good, and since I agreed, this matter After all, I have to do it, so I thought of begging my eldest sister. The third master often said that my eldest sister was a kind-hearted person since she was a child. I think I will definitely help you with this favor. And my eldest sister is the wife of the Duke. How majestic the Duke’s mansion is , Big Sister must have a lot of business shops in her hands, she dare not take advantage of it, just ask Big Sister to give me a few pointers, which is enough for us to use for a lifetime, so I sent someone to pass the post to Big Sister, and Big Sister also Seeing that the old lady and her husband reluctantly agree, but they are also cautious. I don't know what the situation of the begging person is, so let me bring him into the mansion today, so that the eldest sister can check him, but unexpectedly, he It turned out to be a person with evil intentions, he ran out of the main courtyard of the eldest sister without paying attention, and within half an hour before and after, he actually ran back to the main courtyard like that, the eldest sister knew that he must be in trouble, so she asked I know, he ran into the lady in the mansion."

Zhou's words were so tactful that no one could find any mistakes. Ji Lan looked at the thief who was full of blisters but didn't dare to make a sound, and said:
"It looks like a gentleman, but I didn't expect it to be this kind of embryo. Even if I am blind, I dare not interfere with your family's business."

As the two of them talked and sang, Qin felt a headache watching, Ji Lan took a step forward and asked again:
"I don't know who this thief offended? My brother and sister brought him into the mansion, so I will accompany her to the sufferer."

Mrs. Qin sighed, and said: "Who did you offend? Liu'er next to Qiyatou, what are these villains doing? I ordered Jingzhao to come, and at the feet of the emperor, he dared to break into our town. If you don't punish the murderer in the mansion, people in the world will really think that my Song family can't do it without anyone!"

While talking, Nanny Gui was about to take orders to go down, but Ji Lan stopped her and said:

"Don't be angry, old lady. This matter was originally a family matter in the back house. It will alarm the Jingzhao Yamen. Besides, this matter is not a glorious thing. A thief has been mixed in for no reason. Fortunately, it did not hurt the girl. It is just a It's just a maid, let's deal with it privately, what the old lady wants to do, tell the daughter-in-law, and the daughter-in-law promises to handle this matter properly, leaving no future troubles."

Qin Shi looked at Ji Lan, and was about to ask her if she wanted to kill someone privately or something, when she heard Song Yuxi say from the side:
"Mother's words are wrong. Although Liu'er is just a maidservant, she loves me as a sister. She has suffered such a big wrong in the mansion for no reason. How can she let it go? Besides, this thief came from too far away." It's strange, although the third lady brought him into the mansion, but he has never been to the Duke's mansion before, so how would he know the way to Xinyangju? How can he quickly return to the main courtyard by the same route? Could it be that someone deliberately informed the route in advance? If someone informed in advance, it means that there are other people behind him. Doesn’t this person need to investigate clearly? Also, In the entire backyard of the Duke's Mansion, there are hundreds of maids, if not eighty, how did they find Liu'er? Don't these things need to be clarified?"
