Chapter 11
"Yi'er, don't be rude, why are you talking to your elder brother!" Mrs. Rong Anhou scolded Xiao Yi in a serious manner.

Xiao Yi immediately raised his voice and said: "Why am I being rude? The eldest brother's yard doesn't catch fire sooner or later, but mother lost something here, and his yard caught fire? Why is this such a coincidence?

Everyone lives in the same yard, why is he superior to others, all the servants in this yard have been called here for interrogation, why can't the people in his yard come here?

It's just a lowly thing to serve people, what makes it different?Right bro?
The people in your yard, Yueli went to the palace of the Marquis of Rong'an, why should they only obey your own orders, isn't it appropriate? "

Xiao Yan raised his eyebrows, he didn't get angry when Xiao Yi provoked him in public, he just smiled on the surface and said: "Is it appropriate to discuss?

Okay, it just so happens that I came back early today and I have time to discuss with you.

On the sixth day of last month, you bought an outhouse in Willow Lane. The house is equipped with a maid, woman, nurse and coachman to serve the woman you raised inside. Where did the money come from? "

As soon as Xiao Yan finished speaking, Xiao Yi's expression changed drastically.

Behind him, Mrs. Rong Anhou and Lu Wei looked over in shock.

The other concubines, aunts, concubines and concubines in the nearby mansion looked over with gossip.

Xiao Yi squeezed his fist and threw it at Xiao Yan, "What nonsense are you talking, less blood!"

Xiao Yan raised his hand and squeezed Xiao Yi's wrist, Xiao Yi's face turned pale immediately, Xiao Yan flicked his wrist fiercely, "No. 27 Willow Lane, am I talking nonsense, your biological mother and you just Wouldn't the pregnant wife know it if she went to see it?
Are you still talking?Speaking of talking, I happened to hear people say that last month, in Chunxi Building, someone fought for the top card of the newcomer, and finally paid the other party 1 taels of silver to settle the matter. I need to tell you about the 1 taels Who is it? "

Lu Wei swayed and fell backwards.

Madam Rong Anhou immediately supported Lu Wei, and yelled at Xiao Yi, "You bastard, hurry up and help Wei Wei go back to rest!"

Xiao Yi didn't expect that Xiao Yan knew all these things about him so clearly, he couldn't hold back his anger and didn't know what to do, he glared at Xiao Yan viciously, "Spitting blood, you wait for me! "

After finishing speaking, she turned her head to help Lu Wei, "Wei Wei, don't listen to his nonsense, he's just provoking you on purpose, it's bad."

Xiao Yan was too lazy to argue with him, so he glanced at Madam Rong Anhou indifferently, and it happened that Madam Rong Anhou also looked at him, "Yan'er has been tired all day, go back and have a rest, your yard accidentally caught fire, you should It was nothing serious, the fire was extinguished as soon as it started."

She wanted to calm down.

It doesn't matter to Xiao Yan, as long as you don't stick your hands into his yard, he doesn't want to be ashamed.

Turning around and leaving Madam Rong Anhou's yard, Shisan was already waiting outside, "The fire in our yard started suddenly, it started from the southwest corner of the yard, and it was extinguished when it was about to spread to the study. The guards in the yard No suspicious person was seen, but the door of the study was opened.

The things inside have not been touched, and the incense ash at the door of the study is still intact. Someone probably wanted to take advantage of the chaos to get in, but failed. "

Xiao Yan hummed, recalling the attitudes of Xiao Yi and Mrs. Rong Anhou just now.

"What's missing over there?"

Thirteenth said: "It is said that the cash and bank notes in the house are all lost, and the jewelry box is also missing."

"Where's Lu Jia?" Xiao Yan asked.

"She and Chunbao came back just in time for a commotion in the main courtyard. The clean-up banquet failed, and Madam was catching thieves there, so she and Chunbao went back to their own courtyard.

What's more, Miss Lu's wet nurse died today. "

"Dead?" Xiao Yan's eyes were filled with shock.

Thirteen nodded, "Today, within half an hour after Miss Lu brought her back, the wet nurse died. She should have been beaten to death, but what the old lady meant was that she committed suicide in fear of crime."

Xiao Yan sneered and said nothing, but what he was thinking about was how he met Lu Jia on the street this afternoon.

Even though someone was killed just now, she went shopping and ate with a calm face, and bought a shop?

Was it because she was insensitive, or did the wet nurse really sell her to the brothel?
"Master, Madam, did you really lose something?" Shisan followed Xiao Yan's side, interrupting Xiao Yan's train of thought.

"It's definitely lost, but judging from the attitude there, she probably thinks I stole her things."

"Are we going to steal from her? All these years, hasn't she held Madam's dowry for various reasons? She robbed us, but still suspects that we are thieves?" Thirteen was indignant.

Xiao Yan said: "There's no need to get angry with her, what should be done, the most important thing right now is to catch the murderer, and stop causing trouble in the capital."

Early the next morning.

Lu Jia goes out with Chun Bao.

"Miss, Madam's order says that I will take you to make clothes today."

Just as Chun Bao was carrying a big sack on his shoulders, he opened the door and came out of the house, and met the woman who was waiting in the yard.

The woman was probably shocked by the death of Lu Jia's wet nurse yesterday, so she didn't dare to speak up, with a little fear in her eyes, she said from a distance of more than one meter.

Chun Bao rolled his eyes, "Our young lady is not a beggar, let her help make clothes? I can do whatever I like, so I don't need her to worry about it! She also said that she would clean up the dust for us, but what happened? I heard your chickens fly all night last night. The dog jumped, phony."

Lips curled, Chun Bao walked out with the sack on his shoulders.

Lu Jia also came out of the house.

The woman wanted to stop her, but she was so frightened by Chun Bao's ferocious expression that she didn't dare to move. She waited for the two of them to leave, and the woman hurried to Madam Rong Anhou to report.

"You go directly to the restaurant, and I will go to the government and the owner to handle the transfer."

Coming out of the gate of the Marquis of Rong'an, Lu Jia and Chun Bao split into two paths.

"what is this?"

Just as Lu Jia finished speaking, a voice came from behind.

Turning his head, he saw Xiao Yan walking out of the mansion wearing the official robe of Minister of Punishment.

Xiao Yan's gaze fell on the big sack on Chunbao's shoulder, looked at it for a moment, and finally looked at Lu Jia.

Lu Jia raised his eyebrows, and said bluntly, "Aren't you being too lenient? What do you care about me?"

Xiao Yan:.
"Yesterday, there was a thieves in the mansion, and a lot of things were lost in the main room. You went out early in the morning with a sack, who knows if you are going to sell the things in the mansion?" Xiao Yan told people He made a solid statement and said bluntly.

Lu Jia laughed.

She looks charming, and when she smiles, her facial features are even more captivating, but she smiles evilly, revealing a sense of innocence.

"Do you suspect that I'm a thief? If the official suspects me, arrest me. If you don't arrest me, you still block me at the door to talk like this"

With that said, Lu Jia walked up to Xiao Yan in two steps, and blew at him on tiptoe.

She raised her brows with a smile that was not a smile, "I would think that you are teasing me."
