Chapter 17
What's more, the pearl was sewn on by the embroiderer, without other people's hands, the people in the house knew it was the old lady's, who would dare to neglect it, someone must deliberately not want her to attend the banquet, so they made such a bad plan.

Now that Mingzhu has not been found, even if he goes to the palace to have a banquet, he still cannot wear this dress. If he fails the old lady's intentions, she will definitely be unhappy and cause suspicion.

"Sister, go and change your clothes, sister..." Murong Lin smiled softly and charmingly, and cast her malicious eyes on the maids and nuns.

"It's just a small matter. My sister can solve it, so I don't bother my sister." She knew exactly what Murong Lin was thinking, and she would not let others bully her in a muddle.

"The hopes of the Hou Mansion are all pinned on my sister. It's important for my sister to go to the banquet. My sister doesn't know how to judge people. It's just a good time to learn..." Murong Lin smiled at the corner of her mouth, her tone was soft, but she gritted her teeth with hatred in her heart: How can I compare myself? Seeing her, why can she go to the palace for a banquet, and I can only do these boring trivial things...

Murong Yu smiled faintly: "What my sister said about the interrogation is a bit inappropriate. Mingzhu disappeared and there are many people involved. If you interrogate, you know, you know, you know they are looking for something, you don't know, you think their hands and feet are not clean. "

She said this on purpose to the servants, especially Nanny Chai, she kept the clothes all the time, and she would be implicated in the first trial. Nanny Chai is an old man in the mansion, and she is also the right hand of the old lady Sister, offending her is tantamount to offending half of the old lady.Sure enough, as soon as Murong Yu's words came out, those maids and mothers-in-law became unhappy with Murong Lin. The eldest lady was right, they all lived in the Hou Mansion, so how could they do such a thing of stealing...

"Sister, just now you clearly said that you would call them all..." Murong Lin couldn't hold back.

"That's right, I only said to call them, not to interrogate them." Murong Yu set a trap, and Murong Lin slipped in unsuspecting.

"Sister, don't be too merciful, and ruin the breeze of the Hou Mansion..." Murong Lin gritted her teeth angrily.

"Sister, since ancient times, the elders and younger have been orderly, and the concubine and concubine are different. What's more, this is Yanyu Pavilion. My sister is capable of handling the affairs in her own garden, so I don't need to bother my sister." Murong Lin's face is indeed thick enough. I couldn't drive her away, so I had to write down strong medicine to remind her to pay attention to her identity.

Murong Lin's complexion immediately turned down. Due to the presence of many people, she couldn't get angry. She gritted her teeth secretly and said, "What my sister said is that my sister has overstepped." The time for the banquet is coming soon, let's see how she handles this matter.

Murong Yu walked slowly up the steps, his clear eyes lightly swept over the nurses and maids in front of him, the eyes of the maids were full of smiles, and there was a sharp light that could see through people, the whole body of the servants was shocked, and they lowered their heads slightly. I didn't even dare to vent my anger: Today's eldest lady is completely different from usual...

Murong Yu smiled faintly: "I'm sure everyone knows the family law of the Marquis Mansion. For slaves who steal, they can be sold into a brothel and trampled by thousands of people, or they can be killed on the spot. The family members will be exiled and they will never be allowed to enter the capital. The Pearl belongs to the old lady." Stealing the pearl is disrespect to the old lady, no matter who your master is, as long as you make this mistake, it will be an even worse crime, and no one can protect you."

Murong Yu's tone was soft, but the maids and nuns felt cold sweat and trembled slightly, apparently shocked by her words: But they really didn't steal the pearl!
Mung Dou's movement of wiping her tears with a handkerchief suddenly stopped, panic and confusion flashed in her downcast eyes: she had seen the methods of the eldest lady before, the dead Mama Ma, the disabled Lumeng, made her heart ache. fear.

Aunt Zhang once swore to them that no matter who they offended in the Hou Mansion, she would save them, but the fact is that Aunt Zhang pushed Nanny Ma and Lumeng to a dead end for her own sake.

Although I have long been chilled by Aunt Zhang, but she is the master and has her own contract of sale in her hands. If she doesn't do what Aunt Zhang said, she will never forgive herself...

The eldest lady is no longer the cowardly lady she used to be, and she will definitely find out the truth. At that time, in order to protect herself, Aunt Zhang will definitely push herself out, following in the footsteps of Sister Ma and Lumeng. I was forced, I couldn't help myself, I didn't intend to steal something...

Murong Yu took a full look at the expressions of the maids and nuns, as if he didn't see Mung Dou's desperate expression: "Everyone has worked in the mansion for many years, everyone is innocent, I believe you will not do this kind of stealing!" The thing is, the pearl is sewn on the clothes, maybe the silk thread is loose, and it fell somewhere, the mung bean..."

"Miss...Miss!" Mung Dou's eyes flickered in panic: Miss must have seen the clues and wanted to punish herself.

"Mung Dou, you accompany the maids and mothers, and walk along the path you just walked, and look carefully to see where the pearl fell."

"Ah!" Murong Yu's amiable face made Mung Dou a little uncomfortable, but she quickly came to her senses and smiled happily: "Yes, Miss!"

Mung Dou took the maids, and the nuns left quickly, but Murong Yu's clear eyes became deeper and deeper: the master behind Mung Dou planned this out, nothing more than not wanting him to enter the palace to attend the banquet smoothly, if he is ruthless , To investigate the matter to the end, Mung Dou destroyed the pearl in a hurry, and the old lady was not easy to explain for the time being. Leaving aside the delay of the banquet time and violating the imperial decree, the entire Zhongyonghou Mansion will be punished. The sinners of Hou Fu.

The only plan for now is to find the pearl first, go to the palace to have a banquet, destroy that person's plan, and talk about other things when you come back!

After a stick of incense, Nanny Chai walked into the Yanyu Pavilion with a bright pearl in her hand, smiling all over her face: "Missy is still smart, the pearl really fell on the road, and it was covered by flowers and plants, if it wasn't for the servants looking for it carefully , can't find it at all..."

"Thank you everyone." Mung Dou is smart, if someone else finds Mingzhu, others will no longer be suspicious of her. If this person makes good use of it, maybe it is a good chess piece, and she will not be moved for the time being.

The maids and nuns are all masters of needlework, they found silk thread, and in the blink of an eye, they sewed pearls onto the clothes. The bright and beautiful clothes put on Murong Yu made her look like a fairy descended from the mortal world, and she was so beautiful that she was not like ordinary people.
