Concubine's Survival Handbook

Chapter 37

The old lady was silent for a while, then waved her hand and asked someone to bring Bi Hua over.

This time it took a long time.

After a long time, someone came to support Bihua, who was pale and struggling to walk.

"The maidservant has seen the old lady, the eldest lady, and Aunt Yang."

The old lady looked at her looking like she was dying, and frowned fiercely: "Your injury is not healed yet, do you still need help?"

The old lady who brought Bihua was the old lady's confidant, and said: "Old lady, it is indeed a real injury. The doctor just said that this wound cannot be moved."

At this time, Jing Ning's voice cut in.

"Since Bihua was injured, how did she come to your grandmother's yard?"

The old lady's eyes turned cold, and she looked towards Xia He, Xia He immediately turned pale: "Impossible, when I bumped into her that day, she was fine at all, how could it become so serious in one day?"

Bi Hua sneered: "Xia He, I know you don't like me. You are the person Aunt Yang gave to Missy. You have never been valued by Missy in the past, but I am Missy's personal maid. I don't blame you for the long-standing grudge." You, but I never thought you would frame me!"

"."

"Not to mention that I am injured and can't move at all. How did I get to the old lady's yard? I just said that I live in the servant's room. If I go out in the middle of the night, someone will definitely see it. All the servants know that I have been dead since I was injured. Never left the room for half a step!"

Xia He immediately stayed where he was.

There is only one thought in her mind, how is this possible?
He clearly remembered that when she walked out of Aunt Yang's yard last night, she accidentally bumped into a person on the way back.

She recognized that person as Bi Hua, and she pretended to help her find it with good intentions, but actually hid the hairpin herself.

The hairpin was so exquisite that she was ecstatic, thinking that she had seen a huge bargain. As for the top quality, she only attributed it to the fact that it was a gift from the eldest lady, so it was naturally a good thing.

However, overnight, the hairpin became something lost by the old lady, and Bi Hua, who was alive and well last night, turned out to be so weak and unable to move today.

So who I met that day, is it all my hallucinations?

"Old madam, we found this in Xia He's room, take a look."

The old lady's confidant, Nanny Lin, handed the old lady a bracelet that she had searched for. The jade bracelet was crystal clear, with a natural and bright color, and it could be recognized at a glance that it was a top-grade item.

Seeing the bracelet, Yang's eyes moved.

But soon she calmed down and suppressed the horror in her heart.

So what if you find out?
One of the things she does is watertight. In order not to leave any hidden dangers, the things she rewards are not the things used by the prime minister's mansion, but the gold, silver and jewelry she brought from her distant natal home.

He hadn't been branded with the Prime Minister's Mansion, and had never appeared in his own hands, so how could he suspect himself?
Thinking like this, she calmly picked up the teacup and took a sip, before a sneer appeared on the corner of her lips.

The old lady who was looking at the jade bracelet suddenly threw the jade bracelet in her hand towards Mrs. Yang viciously.

After all, it was because he was old and his strength was not stable, the bracelet only hit Yang's clothes, and did not cause much damage, but even so, Yang's hands trembled in fright, and the whole cup of tea was poured on the ground. himself.

The bracelet fell to the ground with a clang, but unexpectedly it did not break.

Yang's complexion changed slightly, and she said with trembling lips, "Mother, what are you doing?"

"What are you doing?" The old lady's breath was a little unsteady, but at this moment, she still sneered: "Aunt Yang, look at that bracelet, is it your Aunt Yang's mark?"

Yang was taken aback for a moment, then stepped forward to pick up the table and inspected it carefully.

Seeing this, she immediately turned pale.

On the inner wall of that jade bracelet, one can vaguely see a character Yang.

The gold and silver jewelry in the prime minister's mansion, except for the items in the warehouse, the gold and silver jewelry of the owners of the other major yards are not included in the account books, but almost every item in the yard will have its own mark.

This was a measure that Jing Ning's biological mother adopted to prevent things from being lost or stolen when she was alive. It was able to identify the belongings of each master very quickly and recover the property accurately.

After Jingning's mother died, it has continued to this day.

And the word "Yang" just represents the Yang family.

What's going on, I obviously haven't touched the jewelry of my prime minister's mansion, all the jewelry I use are privately hidden, those things have never been imprinted, how could it be...
How can this happen?
"Mother, this, my daughter-in-law doesn't know what's going on"

Yang's heart turned sharply, but she spoke hastily on the face.

Regardless of what happened to him, the most urgent task is to maintain his image in front of the old lady and gain the trust of the old lady.

"You don't know?" The old lady sneered, pointing at Xia He who was kneeling in shock, "You said you didn't know, but you gave this maid to Jing Ning, and there is yours in this maid's room." Yu Bracelet, I just want to ask you one thing, what is the relationship between you and the servant girl, do you know what happened today?"

Yang's heart sank.

She was thinking about how to speak when she saw Jing Ning walking over.

Jing Ning took the old lady's hand and took the jade bracelet from Yang's hand. Her fingers were so cold that Yang's hand couldn't help shrinking.

She played with the jade bracelet in her hand and squinted her eyes.

"It's indeed Auntie's mark, and it can't be faked, but whether it was given to this maid by Auntie is still to be discussed."

The old lady was losing her temper at Mrs. Yang, and she couldn't help but bet on her granddaughter, who had just changed her mind recently, and her eyes sank, "Oh, what is Jingning thinking?"

Jing Ning smiled, "I think this maid is so courageous that she dared to steal from you, grandma, who knows if she will go back to the master in the other yard? Maybe this bracelet was not given to her by my aunt But she stole Auntie's?"

"Auntie, are you right?"

As she spoke, she looked back at Mrs. Yang, and there seemed to be a hint of concern in her eyes.

Yang breathed a sigh of relief, with a look of shock and disappointment on his face.

"The daughter-in-law here saw that Xia He was very clever, but she never thought that she had dirty hands and feet. I don't usually use jewelry very much. I'm afraid this maid took the opportunity to steal my jewelry. It took me so long Haven't found it yet!"

"Aunt Yang, you"

Looking at Aunt Yang's appearance, Xia He couldn't understand that she had been abandoned, and her heart turned cold.

"From this point of view, Xia He really did it." Jing Ning sighed, with some unbearable eyes: "If that's the case, then follow your grandmother's punishment, but"

She paused, with regret in her tone.
