Chapter 412 The Grand Finale (5)
"I..." Aunt Luo bit her lip when she heard the words, hesitated for a long time, then came back and said in a low voice. "Princess, I... I went to the laundry room yesterday, but I saw Cuixi, Aunt Hua's maid, sneaking around, asking where Madam's clothes are hanging."

Gu Qingmei froze for a moment, and asked, "What are you doing in the laundry room?"

Aunt Luo bit her lower lip, smiled embarrassedly, looked at the bag of small clothes on the table, and said softly: "This servant is going to wash these clothes for the young master. I am afraid that the servants will be clumsy. If it’s broken, go by yourself.”

"Oh..." Gu Qingmei didn't say anything else, just said. "I know!" He sent her away.

After Aunt Luo left, Gu Qingmei pondered for a moment, then looked up at Su Chenqing who was beside her, "Qing'er, you have a lot of thoughts, help me think about it, what is Aunt Hua's maid asking about my clothes?"

"This..." Su Chenqing shook his head lightly. "I have no idea!"

Gu Qingmei thought about it seriously, and said, "Go and call Yingying in!"

Su Chenqing nodded, went out and called Yingying in.

Yingying didn't know what happened, so she asked with a smile: "Princess, did you call your servant, is there anything you want to tell your servant to do?"

"Yingying, let me ask you, are you the only one who handles my clothes?"

"That's right, all the clothes of the princess are handled by the servants. The servants know better than the princess what clothes the princess has!"

"So, do you know how many pieces of clothes were sent to the washing room yesterday?"

"Of course I know. There are six pieces in total. As soon as the princess's clothes are changed every day, I send them to the laundry room to be washed every day, and then when I send them out every day, I will bring back their starched clothes by the way."

"That's good..." Gu Qingmei suddenly became serious and said in a deep voice. "Yingying, don't say anything, go to the laundry room now, and tell me that there is a bank note in my clothes. I want to get the bank note back, and then count all the clothes in the laundry room to see if it is right. Less clothes, or more clothes?"

Although Yingying was baffled, she was clever, so she nodded when she heard the words, and turned around without saying a word, and went to work.

Su Chenqing asked puzzledly: "Princess, what do you mean? Why did you ask her to check the clothes?"

Gu Qingmei frowned tightly, with a thoughtful look on her face, and said in a deep voice: "I don't know, I just have a guess, and I don't know if it will be true."

After a while, Yingying came back with a strange expression on her face, "Princess, I found that there was a lake-green bellyband embroidered with lilies missing from the clothes I sent yesterday."

Gu Qingmei clenched her hands suddenly. She had only guessed before, but now she heard that there was a bellyband missing from her clothes, she instantly understood, she guessed it right!
Her expression suddenly became extremely cold, and the temperature in the room seemed to be dropping because of her relationship.

Yingying looked at her in fear, "Princess, what's wrong with you?"

She smiled suddenly, but the smile was a bit sinister, "Yingying, go and call Cuixi who is next to Aunt Hua, and tell her that I have something to do with her."

Yingying agreed, turned around and left.

Su Chenqing said softly: "Princess, if something really happens, you should tell the prince, after all, it is the prince's aunt, and it depends on the owner to beat the dog!"

"Even if you tell me, there must be evidence!" Gu Qingmei said quietly. "As you said, after all, it is the prince's aunt, and it was given to him by the grandmother. As long as the grandmother is alive, it is easy to move!"

Su Chenqing is also smart, after hearing what she said, he understood.

Gu Qingmei said: "Go and call both Mother Chun and your mother."

Su Chenqing hurriedly ran to call for someone, and after a while, called Chun's mother and Qu's over. The two came, but they were also at a loss, asking what happened?
Gu Qingmei only said that she lost something and planned to check it.

After a while, Yingying came with Cuixi who was beside Aunt Hua. Cuixi was about seventeen or eighteen years old this year. But Auntie didn't have any big maids around her, the biggest one was a second-class maid, so she was wearing the clothes of a second-class maid, including a light pink short jacket.

She was brought into the flower hall by Yingying tremblingly, and gave a gift to Gu Qingmei, "Servant Cuixi, see the princess!"

Gu Qingmei lowered her head and did not speak. She just held the teacup in her hand, pinched the lid of the teacup in her hand, and fiddled with the tea stems floating on the water.

She didn't speak, neither did anyone else, the deathly silence made Cuixi feel even more flustered.

In fact, Cuixi is not so disrespectful to her master, it's just that she just did something wrong with her heart, and now she is feeling uneasy. When Gu Qingmei came to her at this time, she instinctively realized something.

Finally, after Gu Qingmei finished her tea, she conveniently put the teacup on the Eight Immortals table, then raised her eyes, looked at Cuixi standing in front of her, and smiled suddenly, "Cuixi, how old are you this year?"

"Slave... Slave is eighteen..."

"Who else is there at home?"

"There are also Lao Tzu, mother, one elder sister, two younger brothers, and one younger sister."

"Are you a child of the family?"

"Yes……"

"Why did you steal my apron?" Gu Qingmei exchanged a few words with her, then suddenly changed the topic to her apron.

"I..." Cuixi was about to answer instinctively, but suddenly realized that she couldn't answer this question, she quickly shut her mouth, swallowed back the words that she almost blurted out just now, and then pretended to be wronged look, said softly. "What is the concubine talking about? Why can't the servant understand? Has the servant ever stolen the bellyband of the concubine?"

Chun's mother and Qu's immediately understood, why did Gu Qingmei suddenly call them two?
The two are now in-laws, and their relationship is naturally extraordinary. Hearing this, they instinctively looked at each other, and they both saw a hint of surprise in each other's eyes.

It's a big deal for a woman to lose her bellyband!

Gu Qingmei sneered, "There is a saying that is really good, people are bitter insects, if you don't beat them, you can't do it, Sister Su, I have to work with you!"

After hearing this, Qu's complexion sank, and he strode up to Cuixi's side without saying a word, just kicked lightly with his foot, which just hit Cuixi's ankle bone. The ankle bone is a part of the human body structure. A very fragile existence, the most unbearable pain.

Cuixi screamed and fell to the ground. Qushi didn't stop, and kicked her ankle again, making her scream even louder.

Gu Qingmei waved her hand, signaling Qu Shi to back down, she put on a smiling face again, looked at Cuixi with a smile and said: "Cuixi, I don't like to repeat my questions, I will give you another chance, if you don't Admit it, then I will let people arrest your parents and your brothers and sisters now, and then let your whole family go to the mass grave to reunite!"
