Black-bellied Xianggong: Cute wife is not easy to mess with

Chapter 238

They were newcomers and were not familiar with the servants in the yard at all. It seemed that they could only adopt this method. Jinyu looked at Mu Qingwan, waiting for her to make up her mind.

Mu Qingwan was lowering her head to think, when suddenly her heart lifted the curtain and said dissatisfiedly: "I have been with Miss Li for too long, so you all forgot that there is someone like me?"

Mu Qingwan was taken aback when she heard the words, then suddenly remembered something, and smiled embarrassedly.

Jinyu obviously remembered it too, wiped away the tears from her eyes, and asked anxiously: "Someone really stole it? Who is it? Did you see it?"

Lingxiu was so overjoyed that they all forgot that just now they kept their souls in mind to look after the house, and they were really scaring themselves.

Lingxin was obviously still angry, and instead of answering Jinyu's words, she just stomped her feet: "I was left to look after the house, but I forgot! Do I seem to be such a negligent person!"

The three of them, Mu Qingwan and Jinyu Lingxiu, knew they were wronged, apologized, and coaxed for a long time before their hearts were relieved and they smiled again.Lingxiu dragged her hand, and said: "Good sister, tell me quickly, who stole the bracelet of the young lady, if you don't tell me, sister Jinyu will be in a hurry again."

Lingxin smiled mysteriously, and said: "I think this thief, although he stole the bracelet of the eldest young lady, is actually a drunkard who has no intention of drinking."

Does the drunkard mean to drink?What's the meaning?It means that the thief didn't come to steal the bracelet out of greed for money?The three of Mu Qingwan were puzzled.

Lingxin raised her hand and pointed outward, and said: "The thief who stole the bracelet is Liu Xu. She said she wanted to help Hongrui clean up the young mistress's house, but she took the opportunity to steal a bracelet before moving a few times. Then excuse yourself that you are not feeling well, and go back to your room.”

Jinyu still didn't understand, and asked, "So the drunkard doesn't care about drinking? Maybe she just has short-sightedness and wants to steal the young mistress's bracelet to exchange for money?"

Lingxin was about to explain, when suddenly, a maid came running outside, and hurriedly said: "Young Mistress, it's too bad, Hongrui and Liu Xu are fighting over Mistress's bracelet!"

Fight?Or for Mu Qingwan's bracelet?what happened?Mu Qingwan wasn't interested in the fight between the two, but when it was about her bracelet, she became impatient, stood up abruptly, and walked out.

Lingxin's complexion changed, and she hurriedly followed, muttering: "Oops, I just said she was a drunkard, but I didn't expect her to move so fast. If I knew it, I should have searched for her first." Room, I will report to the young mistress again..."

Fast?What did she do?Mu Qingwan was full of puzzles, but she had no time to ask in detail, so she only quickened her pace.

Behind the courtyard where they live, there is a whole house with simple decoration. Together with the wall behind the main house, they form a long and narrow courtyard. Hongrui and Liuxu live in this courtyard together with other servants. , what they occupied were the two best rooms in the courtyard.

At this moment, Hongrui, in Liu Xu's room, was grabbing her clothes and refusing to let go, repeatedly claiming that she was going to arrest her to see the young mistress to ask for an explanation, but Liu Xu didn't argue with her, just had a grievance on her face, With tears in his eyes, he looked as if he had been wronged by the sky.

Which one are they acting in?Where's her gold inlaid jade bracelet, haven't you seen it?Mu Qingwan raised her eyes and looked around, still puzzled.

Seeing Mu Qingwan coming in, Hongrui seemed to see a savior, immediately let go of Liu Xu, flew up, knelt down in front of her with a plop, and hurriedly said: "Eldest young mistress, Liu Xu is so vicious that she actually stole your bracelet. It shattered outside the back window of my room!"

What? ?The bracelet was broken? ?No wonder, no wonder Lingxin muttered like that just now... So they, so they were trying to play tricks!Regardless of whether the bracelet was really dropped by Liu Xu, it was already broken, 50! 50!Mu Qingwan has never been a person who regards money as dung, so she felt a burst of heartache, and asked through gritted teeth, "Where's the bracelet?"

Hongrui pointed to the rear window and said, "It's still under the window, I didn't dare to move it, I just waited for the young mistress to come and have a look."

Jinyu heard that she was going to fetch the broken bracelet, Mu Qingwan waved her hand, walked to the back window in person, looked down, and saw her gold inlaid jade bracelet really lying in the grass under the window, and it could It was obvious that the jade bracelet inlaid in the gold thread had been broken into at least three pieces.

Really broken!Mu Qingwan suppressed the anger in her heart, first ordered Jinyu: "Tell them to take a brocade box and put it up first."

Jinyu knew that the bracelet was precious, so she didn't dare to appoint the little maid and went there herself.

Mu Qingwan turned around, looked at Hong Rui and Liu Xu with a sullen face, and asked, "What's going on?"

Seeing that she was really angry, Hongrui burst into tears: "Mistress, this morning, Liu Xu said she would help me clean up Mistress's house, but she took the opportunity to steal Mistress's bracelet and deliberately threw it Broken under the back window of my room, planted on me..."

Mu Qingwan cast her eyes on Liu Xu, who pursed her mouth, and said, "Hongrui really has no heart, I kindly helped her clean up the house for the young mistress, but she not only slandered me for stealing, but also for planting, the young mistress, the servant is It's innocent, the servant girl didn't do anything, the bracelet was broken in the back of Hongrui's room, what does it have to do with me? It was clear that she accidentally broke it when she was helping the young mistress clean the room, and she didn't dare to say, so Bring it back and plant it on my head."

Compared with Liu Xu's calmness, Hongrui looked very excited. She straightened up suddenly, pointed at Liu Xu's nose and scolded: "You are talking nonsense, I have never touched the bracelet of the eldest young lady, you obviously broke it on purpose and planted it For me, it's really talking nonsense with my eyes open!"

Seeing that she was excited, Liu Xu also raised her voice, and said, "As the saying goes, it is good to catch the adulterer and the double, and to catch the thief and take the stolen goods. You keep saying that I broke the bracelet. What evidence do you have? Did you see me with your own eyes?" Did you fall, or did you catch me on the spot?"

Hongrui was so angry that her hands were shaking, she turned her head to signal a little maid to come closer, and said, "Although I didn't see it with my own eyes, but Little Walnut saw it!" Then she said to the little maid, "Little Walnut, you Tell her, did you see her throw the bracelet?"

Before the maid could make a sound, Liu Xu laughed: "Hongrui, Little Walnut is the maid in front of you. The two of you conspired to frame me. How convincing is her words? If you have the ability, find another maid." !"

"You, you, you!" Hongrui stammered anxiously, "It's just me and her in my room, who else can we find, you are just making excuses!"

"I'm preposterous?" Liu Xu snorted, "Then let me ask you, since Little Walnut saw me throwing the bracelet, why didn't she arrest me on the spot? You ask the eldest young lady to judge, just rely on the two of you to talk. Just want to blame me for breaking the bracelet, is there such a reason in the world?"
