Stunning Crazy Chef

Chapter 40: Catch the Thief

Since she was going to enter the palace at night, she needed to make some preparations, and she didn't have time to go to her brother who was a dead man. She returned to her new courtyard. Because she was too lazy to name it, the courtyard still used the name of Mujinyuan. Lei Suanran was stunned by the huge wardrobe. In such a gorgeous mahogany cabinet, there were still the previous sets of clothes that could not be put on the table. Thinking of Liu Zi's gorgeous clothes, Lei Suanran suddenly felt like a white-eyed wolf.

"Hua'er!" Lei Suanran shouted loudly, and after a while, the maid came trotting in with her head down, and said timidly, "What do you want Miss?"

Lei Suanran gave her a very strange look, once or twice is enough, why does this little maid always have an expression that she is afraid that she will eat her?It seems that he didn't do anything to her, did he?

"Are you afraid of me?" Lei suddenly asked.

Hua'er was taken aback for a moment, lowered her head, and said, "No...no...Hua'er dare not."

"Okay, okay, raise your head, tell me, what did you hear when you entered this courtyard?" Lei Suanran looked at her coldly, making Hua'er's legs tremble with fear. , She bit her lip and hesitated for a moment, knelt down with a "plop", kowtowed her head loudly, and said in her mouth, "Miss, please forgive me! Miss please forgive me!"

"Crack!" Lei Suanran slapped the table angrily with his brows upside down, and suddenly stunned the picture that Youzi was reading non-stop, "Just say it if you tell me, don't talk nonsense to me!"

"...Yes!" Hua'er answered loudly with tears in her eyes, "Sister Liu Zi said...that the servants will not have a good life if they enter this courtyard, because...because... "

"Because of what?" Lei Suanran urged impatiently.

"She said that Miss Fifth has a weird personality and a violent temper. If things go wrong, she will... kill her servants." Hua'er's heart was full, and she would die anyway, so why not just say it according to Miss's wishes.

Lei suddenly fell silent, it seemed that Liu Zi couldn't stay anymore, he continued to ask after a while, "Is there anything else?"

"And... and that's... Sister Liu Zi said, as long as we listen to her well, once we are punished by Miss Fifth, she can come forward and intercede, so that I can save my life." For her generation, Lei Suanran had seen through this a long time ago, and this was also the reason why she directly ordered this servant girl that day. At this moment, she felt that her life was hanging in the air, so she confessed to Liu Zi without thinking about it. For her, as long as she doesn't get beaten to death by the lady, it's fine.

"Yeah." Lei suddenly calmed down, and Hua'er immediately felt relieved. The young lady just seemed to be about to kill her at any time, but before she could take a good breath, Fifth Miss's question came again. coming.

"Why are there all those old clothes in my closet?" Lei suddenly asked.

"Actually... when the master changed this house for you, he also added some clothes, jewelry, and ointment for you, but... the servants disappeared for some reason, but, on Sister Liu, occasionally... and The new clothes that the master gave you are similar in style." Hua'er replied cautiously, this matter can be big or small, maybe the daughter's family always pays more attention to things like clothes and jewelry, and among the maids, it is common for them to steal things. She was beaten and betrayed, so she was careful about this matter and didn't say enough.

Sure enough... Lei suddenly smiled slightly, "Go, call my father."

Hua'er was eager to get out of here as soon as possible, so she quickly responded and stepped back.

After a while, Lei Lixing didn't come, but the official Li Sheng followed Hua'er all the way here, and when he saw Lei Suanran, he bowed his head and saluted: "I pay my respects to Miss Fifth."

"Why is it you? Where is my father?" Lei suddenly raised his eyebrows.

"Oh, it's like this. The master is not at the house at this time, but he has ordered me. From now on, as long as the Fifth Miss has any orders, if he is not here, I will handle them. Don't worry, Miss, I, Li Sheng, are still very reliable. Made it." Li Sheng, who was dressed in a valuable silk satin robe, stroked his goatee flatteringly and said, Miss Fifth is different now, and the master clearly said that he should take good care of her, so he dare not neglect her in the slightest.

"Who bought the clothes in my closet?" Lei suddenly nodded, acquiescing to Li Sheng's role, so he asked straight to the point.

"Returning to Miss Fifth, the servant's wife personally bought it. These are the latest styles in the capital... If the lady doesn't like it, the servant can ask her to buy it for you again." Li Sheng quickly replied, He has long been used to this, and the other two young ladies in the mansion often do the same. Their eyesight is very tricky, and almost every time they buy new clothes, they have to go back and forth several times.

"Really?" Lei suddenly got up, walked to the closet, opened the closet with a "crash", pointed to the poor old clothes that were scarce in it, and said, "This is the fashionable style you mentioned?"

"This..." When he saw the cabinet, Li Sheng was also stunned. This is impossible. Although he didn't look at the clothes carefully, he knew at a glance that the clothes hanging inside were not new clothes at all.

Lei suddenly looked at him coldly, and Li Sheng couldn't help feeling cold sweat. After frowning for a moment, he said in a deep voice: "Miss, please be quiet, there must be something tricky here, please call the servants who are waiting around, This servant is going to call my wife here, let's investigate this matter carefully."

Lei Suanran was quite satisfied with Li Sheng's words. This was what she was waiting for. Although Liu Zi, a maid, could be dismissed with just a word in her current status, her name was not justified. With Yuniang and the others, she didn't want to get into trouble with them, and she didn't want to continue to endure a restless maid by her side, so the only way was to drive her back with conclusive evidence.

Soon Liu Zi came slowly with five maidservants, and Li Sheng's mother-in-law also arrived quickly, and the group almost met each other and entered Lei Suoran's room. When Liu Zi saw the two of them, she frowned Wrinkled invisibly, then stretched out, and asked first: "Miss is so anxious to call us, why is it?"

Lei suddenly smiled slightly, "Liu Zi, don't worry, I just got burglarized in my house, so please come and help me catch the thief."

Liu Zi's face froze, and she said a little unnaturally: "How could it be? Miss's room is only... Only the servants brought people in to clean it, how could it be stolen?" She almost wanted to say that only Mr. Huo had been there, But he changed his mind when he thought of something.

Lei suddenly raised his eyebrows and looked at the middle-aged woman who had been staring at Liu Zi since she came in. She was Li Sheng's wife, "Mother Zhao, what are you looking at my maid all the time?"

"Responding to Miss Fifth, the servant is watching, why the new clothes that the servant bought for the young lady are worn on a maid." As soon as Mother Zhao said this, Liu Zi's face turned red immediately, and she became a little angry for a while.

"Mother Zhao! You can eat indiscriminately, but you can't talk indiscriminately! If you are old and dizzy, go back to take care of yourself early, don't talk nonsense here!" Liu Zi said angrily.
