imperial concubine

Chapter 16
The butler bowed to calm himself down, and then replied steadily: "May I ask where the second lady's money disappeared?"

"Of course it's in Yimeiyuan. I didn't bring Yueyin out when I went to Puji Temple yesterday." Su Wan said lightly.

"There are no outsiders in the mansion. Since I didn't see you in Yimei Courtyard, I'm afraid some servant stole it with dirty hands and feet." The butler said after a little thought.

Su Wan nodded, but her gaze moved out of the window. Outside the window was the empty courtyard. There was a bit of coldness in her gaze, "The servants in this courtyard are often invisible, and I don't know which thief Take it. According to the housekeeper, what should I do?"

The butler looked up at Su Wan carefully, and saw that Su Wan was also looking back at him. The moment his eyes made contact, the butler couldn't help being startled, quickly lowered his head, and said, "Search!"

This idea hit Su Wan's heart, but she still frowned and thought for a while, "Most of the Yimei Courtyard is female relatives, it's inconvenient for the boys in the front yard to search." She looked at the four nuns standing aside, He smiled and said: "The nuns are proud people around grandma, and they are always impartial in doing things. Why don't you ask a few nuns to look at it for you?"

Unexpectedly, he would be called, and the nuns looked at each other, but did not refuse.

Several nuns took the little girl to the servant's room, and the housekeeper followed him, waiting outside.

After a while, Su Wan heard a commotion, as if women were shouting, but they were quickly silenced.Then the sound of messy footsteps came from far to near, and finally the dignified nanny walked in quickly.

Although he walked in a hurry, his demeanor was undisturbed, and he could tell at a glance that he had indeed stayed in the palace.Mammy's face was even more ugly than before, "Second miss, this old slave didn't find your moon silver, but these people are gambling and drinking in the room, it's really disgusting."

Now is the cold time, and some maidservants will be lazy for a while during the night watch, drink rice wine to warm up their bodies, and occasionally gamble to pass the time.As long as you don't get caught, it doesn't hurt.But now it's broad daylight, so many servants actually neglected their duties and went to the room to gamble and drink, how could Mammy not be angry.

Su Wan got up slowly, took the stove handed over by Zhuru, and then said inexplicably: "It's really hateful!"

The nanny followed Su Wan into the hall, and the hall was full of people kneeling on the ground, their faces ashen ashes.They are not afraid of Su Wan, but this time the people who caught them gambling and drinking were the housekeeper and the old lady's nuns. I am afraid that the old lady can't keep so many of them.

The found gambling equipment and wine jug were randomly thrown on the ground. Su Wan didn't even look at it. After sitting down at the head seat, she just asked, "Can you find out who stole this lady's moon silver?"

"One yard is one yard. If you neglect your duties, the housekeeper will punish you, but I must find out who stole my things." Su Wan glanced at the servants who were kneeling on the ground. I can't help bowing my head.

At this time, an elderly and fat woman knelt and moved out of the crowd, and hurriedly explained: "Second Miss, your monthly money is kept by the servant, have you forgotten?"

Su Wan glanced at her, and said coolly: "Mother Yue, you are not my personal maid, nor my nanny. Why should I keep my monthly money for you? Is it because your surname is 'Yue'."

Even in the back house, money is needed, and among the nobles of the Chen family, in order to fear that the young lady will be captured by the servants, except for the trustworthy people who serve closely, they will not hand over the monthly money and silver to other subordinates. kept by people.
