famous concubine

Chapter 576 There is no mystery (2)
These things are almost exactly as Huanxiang said, none of them are valuable, they are all fakes; the materials used in these fakes are still very inferior.

Blame him for his carelessness, but he never noticed it.

However, when his mind was full of thoughts, he suddenly noticed something, whether it was a coincidence or someone did it on purpose; he looked at those decorations, and the color of his eyes gradually darkened.

The decorations in the whole house, in terms of appearance, are almost the same as those in Luyiyuan.

This phenomenon is really suspicious.

"A Ye, why did you come here so early today?" The old lady's indifferent voice came from the inner room.

"Mother, today I went to Yunfangzhai on the street to buy your favorite sweet-scented osmanthus glutinous cake, so I came here earlier." Dongfang Ye greeted her while explaining, and helped the old lady sit down.

"You really have a heart." The old lady took advantage of the situation and sat down.

She glanced at the corner of her eyes inadvertently, but realized that something was missing beside her; at this time, Huanxiang had just finished dealing with the broken fake coral before entering the house.

"Huanxiang, where did the jade and coral placed here go?" The old lady's eyelids were half lifted, and her voice was absolutely cold and deep.

When Huan Xiang heard this, her legs felt weak immediately. She glanced at Dongfang Ye who was sitting next to the old lady from the corner of her eyes, and replied tremblingly: "Go back to the old lady, that coral... Slave, slave..."

"What's the matter with you? Why do you hesitate to answer for a long time." The old lady frowned, and her voice suddenly became cold several degrees.

"Mother, you don't need to ask her, the ceramic coral has been broken." Dongfang Ye glanced lightly at Huanxiang's frightened face, and said softly, "I just asked her to take it out and dispose of it."

"Ah Ye!" The old lady frowned, glared at Huanxiang with displeasure, and then turned her gaze to Dongfang Yeying's sharp and bright face, and said in a more emphatic tone: "There is no rule, how can you do this?" Be tolerant to her; if everyone learns from her and breaks things at will without any punishment, then the things in my house will be gone in two or three days."

Dongfang Ye cast a suggestive glance on Huanxiang, Huanxiang received his wink, lowered her head, and immediately backed out tremblingly.

"Mother, is there really nothing valuable in Cijing Hall?"

"A Ye, why are you asking that suddenly?" The old lady sat up straight and looked at him warily, "Is that girl Huanxiang chewing her tongue in front of you?"

"Mother, you don't have to lie to me anymore; I have personally inspected all these things in the house, and they are all worthless imitations."

Dongfang Ye raised his eyebrows and looked around the furnishings in the house, then lowered his thick eyebrows, hiding the thoughtfulness in his eyes.

"These things look very familiar to me."

The old lady suddenly lowered her face, and said with a sneer, "Familiar? Of course you do."

"That's right, since you saw through it, I don't have to hide it from you anymore; yes, these things are indeed all worthless imitations. It's not that you don't know the situation in the mansion. As an elder, I can't let it go I can’t let the guests who come to the door feel that our Dongfang Mansion is too shabby, so I specially asked people to imitate a batch of treasures with porcelain."

"You feel familiar, that's because you've seen these things before, and these things were placed in this room before; because of the accidental fire a month ago; I had no choice but to get some fake ones here to pretend."

Dongfangye frowned, and thought about it silently for a while; in his memory, it seemed that the room was not filled with the things now.He thought it looked familiar because he had seen it a lot in Lvyiyuan.

It's not like what the old lady said.

"Mother, what happened to that fire?" Dongfang Ye thought for a while, and decided to find out the source of the strange feeling in his heart.

The old lady stared at his calm and sharp face, and when she blinked her eyes, a ray of intriguing darkness splashed silently.

She tentatively asked, "A Ye, do you really want to know the reason?"

"Mother, listen to your tone, is there something hidden in it?" Dongfang Ye's face became serious, and his tone became serious. "If there is a secret, you might as well tell me the truth."

"If I said that it wasn't an accident at all, but that someone deliberately set the fire and pretended to be an accident, the purpose was to save those valuable items I stored in the warehouse. What would you do?"

"Someone set the fire on purpose?" Dongfang Ye's face turned serious, and his heart tightened. He frowned, with a look of concern mixed with suspicion, and said, "Mother, why did you say that suddenly? Do you have any evidence? I heard from you before that it wasn't you who accidentally knocked over the lantern to cause the fire?"

How could this turn into deliberate arson again?

"Hmph, if I had evidence in my hand, I would have sent that girl to prison." The old lady cast a cold glance at Dongfang Ye, snorted dissatisfiedly, and said, "How can she still be at large until now?"

Dongfang Ye stood up in shock, staring straight at the old lady with piercing eyes, and said in a broken voice, "Mother, what did you mean just now? Who is the girl you mentioned?"

"What I said is literally." The old lady's face was always dark and dark. She slightly raised her eyelids, glanced at Dongfang Yeyingrui's face without a trace of emotion, and said coldly: "In fact, you know very well in your heart, I said That girl, that girl Xiaoyu, didn't you just say that the things in this room look familiar?"

"Hmph, although I haven't stepped into Lvyiyuan for a long time, I think that there must be items imagining these things everywhere in that yard now."

"To tell you the truth, I suspect that the so-called accidental fire was caused by that girl Xiaoyu with ulterior motives; her purpose was to take advantage of the fire to empty out the things I stored in it."

Dongfang Ye frowned, and his face darkened slightly.

"Mother." His voice was rare and serious, "If this kind of thing is groundless, you can't make random guesses. Xiaoyu, why did she deliberately set fire to the warehouse of Cijingtang, is it just to steal the things inside? "

"You think I'm wronging her!" The old lady raised her head, stared straight at Dongfang Ye with treacherous eyes, and sneered coldly: "You don't know, she has been coveting things like mine for a long time, and she has already tried to find ways to do so." Wanting to get these things; I'm sure she caused the fire. Otherwise why all the things I had in the warehouse ended up in her yard."

"Mother, if this is the case, I will persuade her to return the things to you. But don't be angry about these things, it's not worth it if you get angry." Dongfang Ye pondered for a while, the light in his eyes changed, he thought After a while, he decided to appease the old lady first.
