Blessed

Chapter 61 Deafening

The three masters were not there, logically the second master Jiang should be there, but he is also a jerk, he doesn't lock the door, he can yell anything when he is drunk, and he doesn't tell him many things.

The old lady was sitting in a chair with a rosewood inlaid marble, with a worried look on her face. She slammed her brass cane on the ground, "Kneel down for me, Jiang Yulan, do you know what mistake you made?"

"Grandmother, it's not me, it's not me... I don't know anything." Jiang Yulan was so frightened that she collapsed into a ball and lay on the ground with tears all over her face.Seeing her miserable state, Aunt Hong's heart was broken, and she also began to cry.

The old lady got a headache from their mother crying, "Shut up!"

Seeing that the old lady lost her temper, the crying of the two mothers became much quieter. Jiang Yulan's body was shaking into a ball, and she seemed to be frightened. When she got hot-headed during the day, she made a big mistake when she was encouraged, but in her heart I really don't accept it, how can Yuzhu get so many good things?
The old lady looked at Yulan deeply, "Where is that bracelet? If you hand it over, you can get a lighter sentence today."

Yulan went to look at Yuzhu sitting on the couch. She was well dressed and so calm, just like her name, like pearls and jade. This is the real daughter's family who was pampered. She clenched her fists and felt The jealousy at the head couldn't get rid of it no matter what, and the words in my heart blurted out, "Why are jade beads and everything good? On the hair are big pearls of several hundred taels of silver, and they are dressed in good silk. Silk and satin, but I don’t have anything, and the jewelry she wears is also leftover from her choice!”

"You bastard!" The old lady was so angry that her chest hurt, and she raised her crutches and wanted to hit Yulan. Aunt Hong screamed and threw herself on Yulan to block the stick for her, "Old lady, you can't do it. She is still a child, and her body is very tender, how can she withstand your stick."

The old lady scolded, "Look at this is what you ended up doing to keep her by your side. You raised her so petty, shamelessly stealing things! How can she compare with Yuzhu! Yuzhu spent the money of the third wife, and the mother herself You earned it, it’s in the dowry! Why do you want it? If you want it, go to your aunt! Ask her if she has a dowry for you! She was raised by her aunt before, but has her aunt ever treated her badly? , what Yuxiang has, she also has a share! The aunt gave her dowry to the concubine Hua, is there such a good aunt in the world?"

Yulan cried and defended, "Grandmother is biased, even if several wives have dividends from the shop, my aunt doesn't..."

The old lady sneered, "When I set up the shop, I didn't know if it would make money. A few ladies pawned their dowry and pooled up the money to set up the shop. They deserved the money they earned. Your aunt gave the money. ? Don’t spend any money, just want to split the money, how can there be such a beautiful thing.”

Now Jiang Yulan couldn't explain it, she just covered her face and wept, the old lady said angrily, "Tell me, where is that bracelet! It's the first prize of Zhuyuge Ming'er, if I can't get it out, I'll be with the girls in the mansion." I don’t even care about her face, I’ll just arrest you and go to the government! Licorice, bletilla striata! Go up and search to see if the bracelet is on her.”

Even now, the servants at home have not heard about the incident, that is, the two maids around Yuzhu know.

Licorice Bletilla striata stepped forward to search her body, and Yulan yelled, "It's not on me, I gave it to someone else!" She was encouraged by her friend today, and she took the bracelet and ran away. The two ran to the backyard of the friend's house, cautiously. He took off the bracelet and started to play with it. This bracelet was dreamed of even by girls from aristocratic families who were used to seeing exquisite things. Naturally, the two little girls they had never seen before were even more rare.

They took turns wearing it on their hands and playing with it all afternoon, and it was only in the evening that they became afraid. Yulan knew the value of the bracelet. Leave the bracelet with me, and when you go back, your family will ask, and say you don’t know?”

The two were about the same age, but Yulan was more childish, she didn't even think about it, she agreed to it after being persuaded by her friend, gave the bracelet to her friend and ran back to the house, seeing this situation, she was so scared that she acquiesced.

Yulan's words changed the faces of everyone in the room. Yuzhu asked, "Where is that bracelet now? But the little girl who went to Zhuyu Pavilion with you? Yulan, do you know that the final bidding price for that bracelet was basically 5000 yuan?" If you steal more than 500 taels of silver, you will be sentenced to death, are you trying to kill your friend?"

"No, no..." Yulan cried, "She encouraged me. A few days ago, I asked my fourth sister to borrow that pearl hairpin. The fourth sister disagreed, so I complained to Tian Yuetong. She, she It is too much to say that the fourth sister is too much, and the sisters are not even willing to borrow a piece of jewelry, so I asked if there is a shop in my house, and said to go and have a look..."

She continued to sob and tell the story, "We went to Zhuyu Pavilion to see it a few days ago, and we all liked that bracelet, until yesterday she urged me again, saying that it was my shop, why should I get one or two Jewelry is not allowed, I, I really can't stand the temptation, so..." She burst into tears, "Grandma, mother, I was wrong, I will never dare again next time."

The Jiang family all felt that Yulan was stupid, and it was obvious that Tian Yuetong lied to her.

The old lady said furiously, "Which family is Tian Yuetong from? You, why are you so stupid? You don't know how she lied to you."

Jiang Yulan cried even more sadly, "She, she is the daughter of Tian Ji's jewelry family. I met by chance at the market half a year ago, and she became a best friend after going back and forth."

Tianji Jewelry?Yuzhu thought this sounded familiar, she thought about it, and suddenly remembered, isn't Tian Ji Jewelry the same jewelry shop as Qiu Erniang's original husband's family, Chen Dalian?She remembered that Chen Dalian and the Tian family only had a five or six-year-old son, and now they probably have eight or nine-year-old sons, but they don't have a daughter.

Yuzhu asked, "Yulan, are you really sure that Tian Yuetong is the daughter of the Tianji jewelry shop? Is it the one in the east or west of the city?" She remembered that Chen Dalian's was in the east of the city.

Yulan wiped her tears, "It's from the family in the west of the city, fourth sister, I really know I'm wrong, don't send me to the government office, okay?"

Yuzhu ignored her, and followed her grandmother and said to Mu, "I remember that Qiu Erniang's original husband, Chen Dalian, married a daughter of the Tian family. There was only one boy in the family, and the shop was also in the east of the city. I think Tian Yuetong should be about the same age as Yulan. Well, there are two older brothers in Tian's family who are also doing this business. If it's a good guess, this Tian Yuetong should be the child of Tian's two older brothers." Do you remember where she lives?"

Magnolia nodded.

Yuzhu quickly said, "Grandmother, you should report this matter to the authorities. The daughter of the Tian family instigated Yulan to cheat Zhuyu Pavilion of jewelry. Yulan doesn't like the world, she was deceived by others, and the stolen goods are still in the Tian family. It can be said that she got the stolen goods."

She thought very clearly, if this matter was just because Yulan was greedy for the jewelry in the shop, then the matter could be resolved, as long as she got the bracelet back from Yulan's hand.But in the current situation, the bracelet is in Tian Yuetong's hands, and it is impossible for them to break into the private house. With Tian Yuetong's mind, this matter is no longer about the three girls of the uncle's mansion who love vanity and walk along the jewelry in the shop, but are being instigated by others. The bracelet is from the Tian family.

If it is spread outside, everyone will only say that Yulan is innocent, not that she loves vanity, and the reputation of the Jiang family girl will not be affected.Furthermore, because Tian Yuetong knew about this matter, it was almost impossible not to spread the word, so it was better to strike first and find a result that would have the least impact on the Bofu.

The people in the main room are all clear-minded people. When Yuzhu said this, they wanted to understand what was going on.

Tian Yuetong is indeed Tian's niece, the youngest daughter of the Tian family's eldest brother, Tian Fu's family. The Tian family makes jewelry for a living. This makes money. Tian Yuetong was also pampered by the family since she was a child, but the wealth of the Tian family is also limited. They can give her pocket money every month. Clothes and jewelry purchased are limited, and two to thirty taels is not bad.

She made friends with Yulan by accident, and finally found out that this was the third girl from the uncle's house, no matter what, she was a concubine from a noble family, a lady from an official family, so she flattered Yulan, Yulan's mouth was broken, and she told her everything.Occasionally, Yulan showed off and led her to the Zhuyu Pavilion to see the treasures and jewelry inside.

The Pearl Jade Pavilion is not at the same level as their Tian Ji jewelry, and the things inside make her dazzled and fascinated.

She knew that Jiang's family had a craftsman who knew how to inlay filigree, and if she asked about the details, Yulan didn't know anything about it. Maybe Yulan got the news from somewhere a few days ago, and she knew where the craftsman lived, and she secretly revealed it to her. .

After hearing this, she kept her eyes open, thinking that their Tian family is also related to the Duke's mansion, why can't they win over the craftsman and let her work for the Tian family, since their Tian family is related to the Duke's mansion.

As for the filigree-inlaid red gold bracelet, she encouraged Yulan to bring it over. She also learned how to make jewelry, and she is quite talented, so she wanted to get a filigree-inlaid jewelry and go back to study it. Maybe she will just have a look. .

She and Yulan got the jewelry and played with it all afternoon, and they were lying if they said they didn't want to keep it for themselves.As for why he dared to let the bracelet go, firstly, the child's heart is good, and he feels that it is good not to admit it, and secondly, he thinks that her family has something to do with the Duke's Mansion. What kind of existence is the Duke's Mansion? The Duke's Mansion acts on face and has courage in his heart, so he can do anything.

After defrauding the bracelet from Yulan, she hid in the room and studied it for a while with an oil lamp on. Her mother urged her outside several times before she wrapped the things in silk and put them in a small box, knelt under the bed and opened the A small hidden compartment, put things in it.

This secret compartment was there when she bought the house, she never told her parents, she kept it secretly, and put all the treasures in it, thinking that no one else would be able to find it.

After washing up and going to sleep, within an hour, there was a deafening knock on the door in the yard outside.
