Zhang Dingzhi was suspicious, followed behind his cousin, and walked towards the alley.

Only with the sparse moonlight falling down, did the narrow alley reveal a trace of its true face.

The bluestone inside is uneven, and deep or shallow muddy puddles can be seen everywhere. The water is facing half a round of moonlight. The narrow alley can only accommodate two people walking side by side.

Relying on the road in front of the door, there were many trivial sundries, which took up half of the space.

Nanny led the way with a lamp in front, and Song Jinyue followed behind.

I saw that there were five doors in that alley, which meant that five families lived there.

Every door was tightly closed, and Song Jinyue didn't see clearly which house the man entered just now.

"cousin?"

Seeing his cousin stop suddenly, Zhang Dingzhi called out.

Song Jinyue raised her eyes and looked at the guards behind her, beckoned someone to come closer, and then explained to Cousin Zhi: "I don't know where they live, ask someone to find out."

After saying that, he looked at the guard and ordered: "Look, sneak in and check to see which house has two young girls living there."

"Yes."

The guards of Zhang's mansion got her order, jumped onto the beam of the house, and went to investigate.

Song Jinyue then explained to Cousin Zhi: "The acquaintances I saw just now are the two maidservants who served me in my yard. They stole my jewelry a few days ago and disappeared.",

Zhang Dingzhi knew about this.

"Really those two lowly maidservants who ate the bear's heart and the leopard's courage?"

Although her vision was weak, Song Jinyue could still recognize them even if they were turned into ashes.

Seeing her nodding her head, Zhang Dingzhi couldn't help showing anger on his face, what a coincidence that he found these two lowly maidservants today.

How can these two lowly servants get their hands on the jewelry of her precious cousin?

And Miss Boudoir, the most fearful thing is that the jewelry will be left behind. If someone with a heart is asked to take it and gossip, it will really harm the lady for no reason.

Therefore, Zhang Fu also secretly searched the hiding places of these two maidservants, and also greeted pawn shops and jewelry shops in the capital. If they saw the style of jewelry in the painting, they would immediately send someone to Zhang Fu to deliver a letter.

These days, people have not found out where they are, and they have never seen anything.

Mrs. Xie also mentioned to her mother-in-law today that she wanted to send someone out of the capital to look for it.

The guards who went to explore the road earlier talked back and found the residence of the two of them.

"Princess, there are two girls living in the house at the end of the alley, and no one else was seen in the house."

Song Jinyue nodded to signal the guards to step down first, and then led Cousin Zhi, mother-in-law and maidservants towards the courtyard at the end of the alley.

At this moment, the door was closed tightly, and my mother stepped forward and pushed the door, and after confirming that the key was played from inside, Zhang Dingzhi called the guards to jump into the door, and opened the door from the inside.

Immediately, the sound of footsteps came from the door, and the expressions of the two people who were talking in the room tightened immediately, and they looked out of the window.

Before he could react, the door had already been kicked open.

When the two saw Song Jinyue standing in the house surrounded by women and maidservants, they were startled and hurriedly staggered down from the couch.

The two knelt down on the ground, shaking like a sieve, and faltered in their mouths, "Second Miss, the maidservant deserves to die."

There was a tremor in the voice.

Song Jinyue frowned, looking at the two kneeling on the ground, full of displeasure.

Qiu Yun took a step forward, raised her hand and hit the two of them indiscriminately.

He said angrily: "You two lowly maidservants, you have really eaten the heart of a leopard, why did my lady treat you two harshly?"

"You ungrateful bastard! Even soaking it in a pig cage can't offset the harm you have done to my lady!"

Qiu Yun blushed angrily and glared at the two of them viciously, but they didn't dare to fight back and let her hit them.

"Qiu Yun, step back first."

Song Jinyue saw that Qiu Yun was out of breath, so she called her behind her softly.

She looked down at the two of them, her voice was cold and cold, "Where are the things?"

Shrunken, Chunchan raised her head slightly, raised her hand and pointed to the couch, tremblingly replied: "Yes, on the couch..."

Several maidservants hurriedly searched on the couch, but found a black lacquer box from under the soft pillow on the couch in a short while.

Hold the box and send it to the two masters.

Zhang Dingzhi stepped forward to open the box, and saw that there was a pattern Zhuchai inside. He turned to look at his cousin, and asked, "Cousin, come and have a look, is there anything missing?"

Song Jinyue stepped forward, rummaged through the box twice, then nodded and said, "It's all here."

Only then did Zhang Dingzhi feel relieved, and ordered the nanny to take the black box, then pointed to the two lowly maidservants kneeling on the ground, and asked her cousin what she meant, "Cousin, how do you want to punish these two lowly maidservants?"

"Send it to the government."

Zhang Dingzhi shook his head slightly, dissatisfied with his cousin's decision, "These two lowly maidservants who bully the master must be punished."

Chun Chan and Yun Xing were shocked, they kowtowed their heads repeatedly, and begged for mercy: "Second Young Miss, please spare the servant girl...the servant girl has nothing to do."

Zhang Dingzhi was afraid that his cousin would be soft-hearted, so he pulled his cousin and was about to walk out of the room.

Chunchan hurriedly shouted: "Second Miss, it's Madam..."

Song Jinyue had already been dragged to the door by Cousin Zhi, but when they heard Chunchan's words, they both froze at the same time.

"Tell me, what's going on!"

Only then did Song Jinyue speak out.

Chunchan trembled, but looked at Zhang Dingzhi.

"If you don't tell me, I'll throw you to a mass grave outside the city and bury you alive! I'm not as talkative as my cousin!"

Zhang Dingzhi was quite displeased, and threatened the two with words.

Not daring to have any other thoughts, Chunchan faltered and said: "Madam is worried about the bad things of the servants, so she instigated the two of us to steal Miss's jewelry and escape..."

"Why is Mrs. Chen worried about bad things about the two of you?"

"Because of us, we brought poison from outside for Madam..."

Song Jinyue was shocked, and motioned Chunchan to continue talking.

"The servant girl doesn't know the use of the poison, nor the name of the poison, but, it's just that the Duke fell off the horse the next day..."

Ever since Song Guogong fell off his horse, Chunchan and Yunxing instinctively remembered the poison they had brought into the mansion for Shen.

The two were worried all day long and couldn't sleep well.

Later, Nanny Zhao came to send a message, intentionally or unintentionally revealing that Madam wanted them to steal Second Miss' jewelry and leave the house.

Zhao mama walked forward, and the two of them joined forces, fearing that if they did not follow Shen's wishes, their life would be lost.

Originally, the two of them were just guessing, not sure.

But ever since Mammy Zhao came to deliver the message, the conjectures in their minds have been confirmed.

Mrs. Shen, the two left the mansion on other charges, so that everyone's eyes would only focus on the two who stole the master's jewelry, and would not be suspicious of the other.

They also had no choice, they thought that if they followed the Shen family, they would be rewarded with kindness in the future, but who knew that they would end up with a life-threatening end?

The two hid here for many days, originally thinking that they would wait for the limelight to pass before fleeing the capital.

But who would have thought that today is the same as in the past, when I went out to buy in the dark, I was bumped into by the second lady.
