The Evil King's Crazy Wife: The World of Ghost Concubine

Chapter 47 Who Hit It!

After hearing this, Yun Lanyue raised the corners of her mouth slightly, revealing a shallow smile. What the lady said was exactly what she thought in her heart.

In the absence of suspects, we can only guess that the person who is the easiest to get close to this painting is the most suspicious. The housekeeper often fetches things from the study for Lord Hou, so it is naturally one of them, and the other is the one who is responsible for cleaning the study. Maid.

Having said that, the maid was the first to report the news that the painting was missing, so it shouldn't be her, after all, no one would be stupid enough to take the initiative to post about it.

But looking at it from another angle, it was precisely because she knew that others would think so that she had the courage to come back after doing this, because she thought that no one would suspect her.

I'm afraid she never thought that the three people who were caught out today have good reasons to prove that they are not thieves, and it is also her misfortune that they can't even find the person responsible for the scapegoat.

The housekeeper took the initiative to step forward and said forcefully, "Madam, this old slave is willing to accept the investigation."

"The butler grew up in Yun Mansion since he was a child, and has devoted himself to Yun Mansion for so many years. If you really like that painting, you can ask Lord Hou directly for it. Lord Hou will definitely give it to you without saying a word. Why steal it?"

"Madam's words are very true. Yun Mansion is a home to this old slave, so why should this old slave steal things in his own home?"

The eldest lady hummed, then turned her head to look at the maid in charge of cleaning, and said coldly: "Do you have anything else to say?"

The cleaning maid was named Linghua, and she knelt down on the ground with a plop when she heard what Da Furen said, her expression was full of grievances: "Madam, you are wronged."

The eldest lady snorted coldly: "Wronged? Then you tell my wife, where are you wronged?"

"It was Linghua who came to report it. If the servant stole it, why did the servant come to report it? Why not take the opportunity to escape and sell the painting at a good price and go home to make a living?"

"What you said seems to make sense. Then Madam will think that this painting was not stolen by you, let alone by any servant in the mansion. That is to say, it was stolen by the master of our Yun Mansion. Lanyue is the same as you. They are all listening to the morning training, so naturally they are not included, and it is impossible for Lord Hou to go to court, let alone the old man, so what do you mean, the painting was stolen by the second lady or the second lady."

"Ma'am, this servant doesn't mean anything like that."

The eldest lady didn't care what she was talking about, and shouted: "Come on, go and invite the second madam and the second young lady over here!"

Yun Lanyue raised her eyebrows easily. It seems that her mother doesn't want to calm things down today. That's right. Today is her first day as the head of the house. Someone is behind her back. If she continues to be silent, others will think she is easy to bully .

The butler quickly ordered someone to invite Shen Mei and Yun Qingmin over. When the mother and daughter came to the yard in front of the study, they pretended to be surprised and said, "Ma'am, I heard that the painting that Hou Ye loved the most is missing. ?”

"Well, it's gone."

"How could it be? Who is so bold!" As she spoke, Shen Mei glanced at everyone, and everyone lowered their heads, but no one showed a guilty conscience.

Yun Qingmin came to Yun Lanyue's side and asked casually: "Sister, what's the matter, something is lost at home, and the eldest lady is in a hurry to call us over, who are you going to interrogate?"

Yun Lanyue glanced at Linghua, who was kneeling, and said, "She is the most suspicious now, but she said she didn't steal it, and her mother said, if it wasn't her or anyone in the house who stole it, then She meant that our own family stole it, so I called you over to listen and see how long she will continue to argue."

Yun Qingmin's heart skipped a beat, but she didn't show it on her face, she sneered and said, "It's a shame she can figure it out, how could our own family steal our own things, we really don't know what to do."

What Yun Qingmin said was not too big or too small, just enough for Linghua to hear, she trembled, she lowered her head and dared not look at anyone present, and she didn't know what she was thinking.

The eldest lady shouted: "I'll ask you again, did you do this?"

"Ma'am, the slaves are wronged."

"Okay, if you keep saying that you are wronged, then Madam will let you admit it obediently, butler, do you have a clue?"

The housekeeper took a step forward and said, "Madam please wait a moment." As soon as he finished speaking, an attendant ran in from the door, holding a pile of burnt paper ashes in his hand. , and some blackened pieces of paper.

When Linghua saw this pile of things, her eyes widened suddenly in fright, and she almost subconsciously looked at Shen Mei, but Shen Mei didn't even give her a glimpse.

The attendant said something in the butler's ear, the butler understood, nodded and said to the eldest lady: "If you go back to the lady, the result has already been reached."

"Let's tell everyone."

"Yes." The housekeeper turned to Linghua, looked at her and said, "Just now I asked someone to check carefully all the way from the study to the front yard to see if there are any suspicious things, and they really found them."

It turned out that when the housekeeper asked someone to find Shen Mei and Yun Qingmin to come over, he also asked someone to check if there was anything suspicious along the way.

The eldest lady looked down at Linghua: "It is impossible for you to transport the things out of the house in such a short period of time, so I don't want people to know that you did it, and I never thought of exchanging this painting for money. You have only one way to deal with this painting, and that is fire." Then he looked at the butler: "Butler, thank you for your hard work."

"The old slave is just following orders, the eldest lady is smart, let me investigate secretly, and only then did I find out the true face of this servant girl."

Linghua's eyes were full of panic, and she said: "Ma'am, even if these are evidences, who can prove that this is what the slaves did?"

The eldest lady narrowed her eyes: "You still refuse to admit it, right?"

The housekeeper understood, and shouted loudly toward the door: "Bring people in." Everyone subconsciously looked at the door, and saw two old men and a ten-year-old boy walking in together. Some wounds look very pitiful.

Seeing these three people, Linghua immediately burst into tears, got up and ran towards them regardless, crying, "Father, mother, brother, what's going on, how did you get hurt like this?"

"Linghua..." The two old men couldn't utter a word, and the moment they saw their daughter, they hugged her and cried bitterly.

Linghua obviously misunderstood, and glared fiercely at the eldest lady: "Eldest lady, even if you doubt the servant, there is no need to beat the servant's parents and younger brothers like this."

"Then you should ask your parents carefully who beat them."
