Chapter 193: Being Robbed
"who?"
"Sister Qingxue, it's Sister Qingxue. She happened to pass by the window outside at that time, and I saw it!" The little maid was sweating profusely.
"Qingxue?"
"Yes, it's Sister Qingxue. When Sister Xiu'er was talking to the slave, Sister Qingxue happened to pass by. The slave saw that she was walking very slowly, and she also glanced at the window. She should have seen the slave coming from Sister Xiuer took the hairpin from her hand!" The little girl said in panic as if she was holding on to the last straw.
"Besides, is there nothing else?" Qin Wanru lowered his head and condensed slightly.
"There is nothing else!" The little maid thought for a moment and shook her head.
"Then go and give the hairpin!" Qin Wanru suddenly smiled, the corners of her red lips raised slightly.
"Miss!" Yujie was also stunned for a moment and relaxed her hands.
"Go and give the hairpin yourself, but I don't want Xiu'er and Qingxue to know about this. If they know... you three have colluded in this matter!" Qin Wanru's eyes fell on the little maid. , said slowly.
"Yes, yes, Miss understands. Thank you, Miss!" The little maid thanked Qin Wanru with gratitude for giving her such an opportunity to prove herself.
"Go!" Seeing that this little maid turned out to be smart, Qin Wanru smiled slightly and handed over the hairpin in her hand, with a hint of tranquility flashing in her eyes!
It looks like someone can’t take any time off again!
"Yes, slave, leave now!" The little maid wiped away her tears, carefully took the hairpin, and nodded vigorously. The second lady gave herself a chance to prove that she would definitely not let Xiu'er and Qingxue know. Otherwise, the young lady will definitely think that she and the two of them are working together to steal things from the house.
When the exposed incident happened, I couldn't escape!
Although the little maid is a low-level maid in the house, she is usually smart. I originally thought that Qingxue looked very kind and was the big maid in the yard, so it would be beneficial to get closer to her. Now, I didn't get any benefits and was almost caught as a thief. How could I not be afraid?
After wiping her face, she came out of the main room with red eyes and hurried out. As soon as she left the yard, she was stopped by Qingxue who was hiding behind a tree. He pulled her behind the tree and looked at her face. He asked with unwiped tears on his face: "Qu'er, what happened?"
"I accidentally bumped into Sister Yujie just now. Sister Yujie scolded me!" Qu'er lowered her head and wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes. She did not dare to tell the truth.
"Then why do you want to go to the second lady's main room?" Qingxue looked at the courtyard door and saw that no one was paying attention here, and then asked doubtfully.
"Sister Yujie was still holding something for the young lady, but I broke it. She took me to explain to the young lady!" the little maid said aggrievedly.
"Nothing else?"
"Nothing else!" Qu'er nodded.
"It's okay. Sister Xiu'er just asked you, what did you do for her and was it done?" Qingxue breathed a sigh of relief, with a slight smile on her face, as if she didn't know anything.
"Ah, then I have to leave quickly, don't worry about sister Xiu'er's affairs later!" Qu'er exclaimed and ran away in a hurry.
Originally she thought that Qingxue might not know much about it, but now that Qingxue said this, she immediately understood that she was aware of it, and she was indeed plotting against her!
Qu'er thought angrily, tightened her feet and walked towards the back door.
When he arrived at the back door, he was stopped by the woman at the back door. After asking where he was from, Qu'er politely said that the people from Zhifangxuan were going outside to sell some snacks to sister Qingxue in the yard, and the woman let him go. Got it!
The eldest maid in the house occasionally sends some younger maids to run errands, which is nothing unusual, and besides, she is the eldest maid next to the second lady.
Qu'er went to the place designated by Dong Xiuer. She was originally from the capital. It didn't take long for her to find the place. She looked at the store that was being renovated and was about to go in, but was stopped by a man. It was an ordinary boy. .
"Are you a maid from the Qin Mansion? Are you here to deliver something to Aunt Dong?" The servant stopped her and asked straight to the point.
"Yes, who are you?" Qu'er was stunned for a moment, but she didn't expect that Xiu'er had already been angry with Aunt Dong.
"Aunt Dong is busy now. If you have something, just give it to me. I will deliver it to Aunt Dong in a minute!" The boy pointed at his finger and said. The store has not been decorated yet, and there is still the sound of carpenters knocking on it. Listen to it. It was hectic.
Qu'er was still a little hesitant.
"Why, don't you believe me? If Aunt Dong hadn't told me, how would I have known that you were from the Qin Mansion, and that you were the maid in the second lady's yard? This thing was asked by Aunt Dong's daughter Dong Xiu'er to bring you It's for Aunt Dong!" The boy stretched out his hand impatiently, "Hurry up, I'll go up and help Aunt Dong carry things later."
Seeing that he kept urging and all the words he said corresponded, Qu'er hesitated and took out the hairpin wrapped in a handkerchief from his arms.
As soon as the boy saw it, he reached out and snatched the hairpin, turned around and ran towards the store, "Go back quickly, before others find out!"
Seeing that he was running towards the store, Qu'er felt relieved. It looked like he was really Aunt Dong's. Thinking about giving this hot thing away, she felt relieved and turned around to leave.
The boy entered the shop. The shop was in a mess. There were helpers. Aunt Dong was directing people to arrange some things in the right place. She saw a strange boy come in. She saw that he just looked at it and did not run away. When he came in, he looked like he was looking at someone else's decoration. He frowned and ignored him.
The boy stood in the shop for a while, seemed bored, stood at the door, turned and left.
Aunt Dong was busy at the moment and didn't notice when he left.
In a teahouse diagonally opposite this shop, Qin Wanru saw the man who looked like a boy coming out of the shop, stood at the door and looked around, but did not find the maid just now, so he swaggeringly took a picture He patted the dust that had just been stained in the house and walked out facing this way.
"Miss, it seems that you really came to this teahouse!" Yujie kept her eyes fixed on the boy, watching him walk over and enter the shop downstairs, and said.
"It should be here!" Qin Wanru said thoughtfully. She came by carriage and arrived a little earlier than Ya Huan Qu'er. After looking at the surroundings, she could only drink at the teahouse diagonally opposite. Tea, waiting for someone, or keeping someone!
That's why I chose this teahouse. Since the hairpin was sent outside the house, there were naturally people outside the house. The time when Qu'er left the house was not certain, so she had to keep it.
Having spent a lot of time with Aunt Dong, Qin Wanru could conclude that Aunt Dong was not that kind of person, and the hairpin would definitely not fall into her hands in the end, so she waited here early!
"Go and have a look at the door!" Qin Wanru said.
Yujie nodded, put down the curtains in her hands, walked to the door, gently pushed the door open a little, and looked at the stairs. When she just went upstairs, Qin Wanru specially asked for a private room facing the stairs. .
I could hear footsteps coming up the stairs, and the boy was running out of breath. It turned out to be the boy I saw upstairs.
Coincidentally, the private room that the boy entered was on the right side of their private room.
When she saw the boy walking in, Yu Jie came over, pointed to the room on her right hand, and said softly to Qin Wanru: "Miss, this is the room!"
Qin Wanru looked at the wall between them. It was really a wooden wall. Unlike some places where the private rooms were only separated by screens. It was impossible to hear clearly. Only the faint voice of the servant could be heard. seems to be saying something.
He stood up, walked to the wall on the right, put his ear to the wooden wall, and then heard some faint sounds.
Yujie also came over and listened like Qin Wanru.
After the boy's voice finished speaking, there was a woman's voice.
Qin Wanru was slightly startled when he heard a woman's voice, but he wasn't too surprised. He only listened attentively and found some vague sounds, which didn't sound quite real.
The next two voices seemed to say something, one seemed to be asking, the other was answering, and they would say a few words from time to time. Then the voices in the room paused, and after a while there was the sound of a chair being pulled next door. , it seems like he is leaving.
Qin Wanru's watery eyes rolled, she walked to the door quietly, and looked out through the ajar door.
In just a moment, the door over there opened. A young man came out first and stood respectfully. Then he saw a woman walking out with a maid. She was not tall, but very slender. She was thin, but when she looked over, the maid next to her was taller than her and looked stronger.
Because her body was slightly turned sideways, her face happened to be invisible.
The watery eyes turned and silently pointed at an empty teacup on the table to Yujie. Yujie understood and hurried over to take one. Qin Wanru took it, opened the door slightly, and held the cup in her hand. The tea cup was smashed out hard, hitting the stairs.
The young lady who was about to go downstairs came out of the private room and was about to go downstairs when she was hit by such a cup. She was so frightened that she almost fell down. The maid hurriedly reached out to pull her. The two of them finally stood firm. The young lady looked pale. Turning to Qin Wanru's private room, the maid was about to step forward with an angry look on her face, but she stopped her.
"Miss, I don't dare to cause trouble anymore. Please let me go!" Suddenly a woman's voice begging for mercy came from the private room, followed by the sound of something heavy hitting a wooden board.
It turned out that the master was scolding the servant. The young lady frowned, carefully avoiding the debris under her feet, and walked downstairs with the maid. The young man fell behind some distance, but also fell tightly behind.
In the private room, Yu Jie kicked her feet hard while watching, making a sound that seemed like the maid was begging for mercy.
Qin Wanru's eyes became much darker when she saw the young lady's face. She recognized who this woman was...
