Qing Fu Jin

Chapter 129 Where is the Jin family (third update)
"Master, this is not an ordinary matter. Although the girls in our yard are also reckless and scheming, nothing like this has ever happened before." Xiushu's face looked very serious.

Ling Bo nodded and said: "You are right, this matter must not be tolerated, we must find out who did it and why."

Rui Dong said distressedly: "But there are so many people in our yard, the master has always been kind, almost every girl can enter this house, who could it be?"

Xiushu shook his head and said: "It may not be that the people in our yard did it. These days, Fujin, Fujin, and other aunts, even Gege, often come to our place, and the maids often accompany them. A lot of hands. Coincidentally, the hairpin disappeared again during this period, in my opinion, people from other courtyards may have gone by."

Ling Bo frowned.

"If it's someone from our yard, that's fine; if it's someone from other yards, it will be difficult to find out."

Rui Dong thoughtlessly said: "What are you afraid of, theft is a big taboo in our house, and Fujin also hates it the most, it's great that we ransacked the entire inner house, I don't believe we can't catch this thief."

Xiushu scolded: "What do you know, don't talk nonsense."

Ruidong was scolded inexplicably, but he didn't know why.

Ling Bo sighed and said: "You don't know, in a deep house like ours, looting is the most taboo, not to mention making the people in the house panic, even if it is heard outside, it will be a big joke, and the reputation will be bad. So, we can't Take it easy."

Only then did Ruidong understand.

"But this thief is so hateful. Shaofujin dares to take everything in the house, and there is nothing else he dare not steal! It's fine if he's just a thief, but if he has ulterior motives, Shaofujin has two bodies now, and he is most afraid of it." What if..."

Xiu Shu covered Rui Dong's mouth, and Ling Bo's expression darkened.

Although Bo Zhe has no wives and concubines now, there are people in the courtyard of the deep house with ulterior motives, who knows if anyone has a bad heart.If it is really like what Ruidong said, it would be too scary for someone to come and go freely in her room.

"Master, what Ruidong said is right, this thief must be caught, otherwise we will be in fear all day long, and we will not be able to live this day!"

Ling Bo bit his lip and remained silent.

"What are you stealing? What are you talking about?"

The three of them were startled suddenly, and saw Guo Jia came in through the curtain with a few maidservants.

"It's such a hot day, how come Erniang is here?" Ling Bo hurriedly stood up to meet her.

Guo Jia waved his hand and said, "I told you earlier, people with double bodies don't have to abide by those etiquette rules. It's so troublesome to get up and down."

She took Ling Bo's hand and sat down, and asked: "I heard you talking about thieves when I entered the door just now, why, is there a thieves in your yard?"

Ling Bo nodded heavily and said, "Er Niang guessed right, something dirty happened."

Guo Jia became cautious and asked, "What's going on?"

Xiushu then told about a hairpin missing from Lingbo's house.

"What kind of hairpin is it? Is it expensive?"

Ling Bo shook his head and said: "That hairpin is also common, but it is the plum blossom style with emerald and agate inlaid. Although it can sell for a few dollars, there are more expensive ones in my jewelry box, but I saw the thief steal them."

Guo Jiashi heard the style of this hairpin was familiar to her: "It sounds like I have seen this hairpin before."

Ling Bo said: "Perhaps I have seen it before. Er Niang doesn't know, this hairpin is not mine, but Akdon found it from Xia Ziyu. The daughter-in-law thought, maybe it was an object that Er Niang gave her in the past. .”

Guo Jia thought for a while, then shook her head and said: "I have never given her any jewelry... Oh, I remembered, but it was Aunt Jin. I once gave her a hairpin, which is very similar to the style you mentioned."

Ling Bo wondered, "How could Aunt Jin's hairpin fall into Xia Ziyu's hands?"

"It doesn't make sense, but it's also simple. Ask Aunt Jin to bring the hairpin over here, and you'll know if it's her hairpin."

Guo Jiashi ordered a girl and told her to go to Jinshi and ask her to bring the hairpin with emerald and onyx inlaid.

The girl went, Guo Jiashi and Ling Bo didn't know how to confirm the situation, they could only wait.

Ling Bo then asked about Guo Jiashi's physical condition.

"Yesterday, I heard that Erniang has suffered from heatstroke, but what's the matter?"

Guo Jia waved his hand and said: "Earlier in the morning, I invited Dr. Xu to come over to have a look. It's just a minor illness. It's not a problem. I prescribed a bunch of medicine, but I think it's bitter and I don't like it."

Ling Bo disagreed: "Emiang, good medicine tastes bitter and is good for the disease. There is no one who likes or dislikes the medicine. The doctor prescribed it, so you must take it."

"Chengcheng, I'll just eat it. Your style is exactly the same as that of Dr. Xu."

Ling Bo laughed.

At this time, the girl who sent the message came back and said that Aunt Jin was not in the yard.

"Then where did she go? But she left the house?"

The girl replied: "I have asked at the gate, but no one has left the house today."

Guo Jia frowned: "Where are the girls in her yard, where did she go?"

"The servant asked, but no one knew."

Guo Jiashi and Ling Bo looked at each other, which was a bit strange, Jinshi was not in her yard, nor had she left the house, but her girl didn't know where she went.

"Back to Fujin, this servant asked me one more thing..." The girl said again.

Guo Jiashi asked, "What did you ask?"

"The servant knew that Fujin called Aunt Jin to see the hairpin, so the servant asked her sisters in the yard, and they all said that they had never seen Aunt Jin wear such a hairpin."

This girl is clever, and she knows how to ask one more question.

"En?" Guo Jiashi was a little suspicious.

According to her understanding of the Jin family, she loves these gold, jade and precious stones the most, especially the things bestowed by Fujin, and she should wear them often, so as to appear fond of them, but the Jin family never wears them.

Ling Bo said: "Emiang, my daughter-in-law has a guess, whether the hairpin was lost by Aunt Jin, but Xia Ziyu picked it up. Later, Akdon got it from Xia Ziyu and handed it to my daughter-in-law. I don't know. Which girl was jealous when she saw it, and she was fascinated for a while, so she touched it away."

Guo Jiashi thought for a while and said, "Maybe it's what you guessed."

As soon as she finished saying this, she saw Rui Dong who was standing behind Ling Bo seemed to be hesitant to speak.

"Ruidong, do you have anything to say?"

Both Ling Bo and Xiu Shu turned to look at Rui Dong.

Ruidong mustered up his courage, and came out and said: "Fu Jin, Shao Fujin, this servant also has a guess, but I'm afraid it's not appropriate to say it."

"Let's listen first." Guo Jia said.

"Yes. What the servant girl guessed is, if it is true as what Shaofujin said, the hairpin fell from Aunt Jin's hand to Xia Ziyu's, and then from Xia Ziyu's hand to Shaofujin's, then would it be possible? The one who took the hairpin was Aunt Jin herself?"

"Well, how do you say that?"

Ruidong pursed her lips and said: "The servants thought and thought, although there are many people who can enter this room, but who would enter Shaofujin's inner room? If someone enters the inner room, it should be very eye-catching. It is only if you can notice it. Even among the girls in our yard, except for sister Xiushu, me and a few little girls who are used to grooming, few of them will rashly enter Shaofujin's inner room. After much deliberation, it was yesterday , Aunt Jin came here, and stayed alone in Shaofujin's inner room for a while."

Guo Jiashi asked what was going on.

Ruidong then told the story that Mrs. Jin came to visit yesterday, first took away the embroidered books to fetch ice, and then took away her to fetch water, leaving only one person in the inner room.

Guo Jiashi nodded when she heard this: "Miss Ruidong's conjecture, when you think about it, actually makes some sense. Think about it, if there is a girl whose hands and feet are really dirty, she should steal some more valuable things if she wants to get rich. Why did you only steal this ordinary hairpin?"

Ling Bo said: "Maybe it's because I don't wear this hairpin often, so I thought it wouldn't attract attention."

Guo Jiashi held her hand and said, "I know you are soft-hearted and don't want to be suspicious, but there are clearly some clues to this matter."

Ling Bo still felt that something was wrong, how could someone who looked so nice like Jin would steal things.

"There are still doubts about this matter. If the hairpin belongs to Aunt Jin, should she ask me when she sees it? Since it belongs to her, of course I will return it to her. Why didn't she ask for it?"

After much deliberation, there are still many places that cannot be explained.

Guo Jiashi clapped his hands and said, "Anyway, let's ask Aunt Jin first."

She ordered a group of maids to come over, and said: "You all look for it and see where Aunt Jin has gone. You must find her quickly and ask her to come see me!"

"Yes."

The maids and women quickly divided into several groups and began to search all over the house.

Slowly, everyone actually felt that something was wrong.

This Mrs. Jin is not in her own courtyard, not in the courtyards of the aunts she often visits, not in the garden, but the two doors on the gate say that she has not left the house, but she seems to have disappeared out of thin air.

As time went by, Guo Jiashi and Ling Bo became more and more suspicious. Could it be that Jin really stole the hairpin?

Is that hairpin the one that Guo Jiashi gave her?If so, why did it fall into Xia Ziyu's hands?And why didn't she tell herself to take it, like a thief?

Everyone's suspicions are getting deeper and deeper.

At this moment, a woman hurried in, knelt down on the ground, her face was ashen, and said in a trembling voice: "Fu Jin, something happened."

Guo Jiashi stood up suddenly: "What happened?"

The mother-in-law wiped the sweat from her forehead and said, "Aunt Jin, I found it."

"Found it? Where?"

The mother-in-law raised her head and said solemnly, "In the flower room behind the rockery in the garden, with Doctor Xu Zhengping."

"What?!" Guo Jiashi's eyes widened.

Ling Bo also stood up in surprise.

What are the Jin family and Xu Zhengping doing together in such a secluded place like the flower house behind the rockery in the garden?
Everyone was deeply suspicious, as if some secret was about to be revealed.
