Jin Tingjiao

Chapter 119 Where did the thief come from!

Walking to the wall where the maids had been chewing their tongues that day, and looking in through the carved window, the lamps and shadows were dim, and there was no one in the room.

She thought for a while, then walked outside the Ewha Court, and someone knocked on the door.

The one who answered the door was Nanny Liu, who bowed quickly when she saw her.

"Mother asked me to deliver a can of tea to Second Sister, has she fallen asleep?" she said.

"No." Liu Mama quickly moved out of the way, "The young lady and the eldest young lady are playing chess."

Shen Yan walked in casually, and when she reached the second door, she saw two figures sitting facing each other in the main room.Qiuchan, Dongying and Zhenzhu Pingshuang were talking, laughing and gossiping under the verandah.

Seeing this, she was relieved and gave the tea to Nanny Liu: "Since the big sister is here, I won't go in."

Nanny Liu seemed to know that it was inconvenient for them to meet at this time due to the grievances between the eldest house and the third housewife, so she nodded with an apologetic smile and sent her out again.

Shen Yan hurried all the way back to Xiexiang Courtyard, and said as she stepped through the door: "Hurry up and get out! Sister Xin and Xi are all staying in the house!"

Hearing this, Mrs. Ji hurriedly summoned people to open the warehouse, and then she and Shen Yan hurried to the west corner gate.

The west corner gate is only used for funerals and funerals, and it is locked all year round, and there is no courtyard in this area.

The wives carried two boxes to the door, when Ji Shi was about to give the order to open the door, Shen Yan suddenly stopped her: "Wait!"

Ji said anxiously: "What's the matter!"

She took a deep breath: "I always feel uneasy in my heart." She said to the mother-in-law again: "You take two people first, carry two empty boxes and go out through the east corner gate! Come back to me when you see any situation."

The mother-in-law looked at Ji Shi.

Ji frowned: "It's such a trouble, it's better to let your uncle carry it away generously!"

Shen Yang sneered: "Mother is really naive. You are a married girl, and you let your natal brother come in to carry things through the gate in the middle of the night. How many private houses do you have in a hurry to support your natal family?"

Ji stopped, gritted her teeth, and waved her hand to let the old woman go.

Right now, under the crescent moon, Luming Square is hazy everywhere, and the small alley outside the west corner gate of Shen Mansion is so gloomy that the road can barely be discerned.

In the carriage under the low wall at the corner of the street, Shen Xi sat still, looking at the carriage under the door in the west corner in the distance.Shen Xin was twisting the handkerchief, so nervous that she didn't say a word.

Suddenly there were footsteps outside the car, Shen Xin looked out abruptly, and saw Pearl walking over in a hurry: "Girl, there is a woman coming out from the east corner gate carrying two big boxes!"

Shen Xin's heart was racing!

Shen Xi looked at Pearl: "Who came out?"

"The four wives each carried a big box, and a few long attendants, and went out to the east street!" Pearl said anxiously.

Shen Xin said excitedly, "It must be, it must be them!"

Shen Xi frowned.She glanced at the carriage not far away and said: "Impossible! Ji's family is not here for such an important thing, how could they feel relieved to carry the box out? It must be fake!"

After she finished speaking, she looked at Pearl: "Find two people to follow, and the rest stay where they are!"

Pearl does so immediately!

After the low wall of the small alley, calm was restored.

Shen Xi closed his eyes and sat quietly, like an old monk in meditation.

Inside the west corner door separated by a wall, Mrs. Ji saw the mother-in-law who came back in a hurry, and hurriedly said: "How is it?!"

"Everything is normal, nothing happened!" The woman said excitedly.

Mrs. Ji looked at Shen Yan, who said, "Open the door!"

In the small alley outside the wall, two gusts of wind came from the willow trees on the street, and suddenly there was a light coming from the courtyard door, and a man in a green shirt came out of the green-covered carriage outside the door, looking left and right, and lightly knocked on the door. door.

"That's right! This is Ji Peng!" Seeing this man's face, Shen Xin's whole body tensed up!
Shen Xi also immediately looked through the car window.

At this time, the door lock sounded, and the door was opened about two feet wide by a crack. As expected, Ji Shi and Chen Yan were standing there with people, and inside the door were two huge copper boxes!

"Get in the car!"

Ji Peng shouted in a low voice, and then asked Ji: "What's going on? Why are you in such a hurry?"

"Don't ask so many questions!" Ji Shi said, "Just send it back to me after a while."

Ji Peng didn't dare to bother this aunt, so when he got into the car here, he reined in his horse and turned around.

As soon as he left here, Shen Yan quickly locked the door, and went back to the room without saying anything to Ji Shi.

As soon as Ji Peng arrived at the entrance of the alley, the carriage stopped suddenly, and suddenly three or four thick and big men appeared from the front, blocking the way!
"what happened?"

While the carriage was jolting, Ji Peng poked his head out from the door, but before he could see the situation clearly, his eyes suddenly went dark, and then he rolled down, and he was dragged out of the car!
Just when I was about to yell and shout, I heard a coquettish voice in my ear: "Who dares to steal in the servant's mansion?! Hit me!"

As soon as the voice fell to the ground, several servants holding sticks next to them threw their heads and covered their faces and beat them!

The two servants sitting in the front of the car were not spared either.

"Don't fight! Don't fight! We are not thieves!"

Ji Peng raised his hand to protect his head and shouted!He raised his head while he was busy, and there were two young girls standing around the periphery of seven or eight famous family members. One had a pink face and frost, and the other pursed her lips tightly and said nothing. They turned out to be two young ladies from the Shen family!

"There are stolen goods in the car, how dare you say no! Gag me, tie it up, and take it back!"

Shen Xi drank heavily, Wang Er immediately knocked him out with a stick!Then he took out a few sacks and put them all in. Together with the two boxes of silver on the carriage, they entered the mansion through the southeast corner door that Chen Xin had left earlier!

With Huang's management, the road to Lixiangyuan is unimpeded!
Mrs. Huang had been waiting under the second door, and she was dumbfounded when she saw them silently carrying in three sacks and two boxes of silver!
Mama Liu immediately locked the door, and Yuan Bei and Chun Yan came out from the main room: "The third girl came here just now and left again!"

"Understood!" Shen Xi quickly stepped into the door, and walked to the back room where Aunt Pei's mother and son lived.

Aunt Pei and Zhu Dongying came out to welcome them, and the small courtyard was already lit.

Shen Xi went straight into the room, turned around and sat down on the chair in the middle, and said, "Let it out!"

The room was full of people in an instant, and the three of Ji Peng who had been knocked out were released. Wang Er brought a bucket of well water and poured it on them. Several people shook their heads at the same time and woke up.

Seeing the room full of people, Ji Peng was stunned, and then looked up, only to see Shen Xi's face sinking like water, staring at her with cold eyes!He had never seen such a look in her eyes before, and couldn't help but shiver again!
"Sister Xi, you are so bold—"

"Stole the money from my house and dared to speak wildly, shut up and hit me!"

Before he could finish speaking, Shen Xi had already issued an order here.
