Chapter 31
She took the things away, put back the soil on the side of the pit, and was about to follow the little bookboy to see if she could find the master's room, when she suddenly saw a little girl in a bun in the distance looking for it. Thinking about something, he quickly hid in the space.

The servant girl found the tree all the way, and murmured, "It's strange, my wife and Liu Qian'er were here yesterday, why didn't they..."

After walking around for a long time, I finally left.

Ye Qiu waited for her to leave before walking out of the space, looking at the exquisite pearl hairpin in his hand, guessing something, followed the maid.

The maid went to the backyard of the county yamen. Ye Qiu remembered that this direction was the residence of the female relatives, and the place where the maid walked seemed to be the main house, and thinking of the wife she mentioned, she guessed that it should be the wife of the county magistrate Liu Wenhong. She remembered the surname week.

Sure enough, the servant girl entered the spacious looking room, which was the room of Mrs. Zhou, the county magistrate's wife.

Ye Qiu quietly climbed up the tree closest to the door and walked all the way to the top, just in time to hear the people inside talking.

"Madam, did Liu Qian'er get it and hide it on purpose when she knew it was given to Madam by the lord?" The pearl hairpin was the first gift the lord gave Madam. Only when it is good will it be taken out and worn.

I just wore it yesterday, and went for a walk in the yard except for eating, and found that the pearl hairpin was missing at night.

The maids just looked around but couldn't find it.

Xindao looked again today, and went to the place where his wife stayed yesterday, but there was still nothing.

Mrs. Zhou frowned, not sure, the pearl hairpins were all fixed, so they shouldn't fall off casually.She did remember that she went to the yard yesterday and met her aunt Liu Qian'er, and she touched her when she was leaving, and she was not sure if it would fall.

"Ma'am, it's hard to lose something, but this servant is worried that if that foxy girl picks it up and does something deliberately, wouldn't Madam suffer another dark loss." The maid bit her lip and said.

The reason why the word "you" is used is because after Liu Qian'er came, she often said something wrong with Madam in the adults' ears.

Originally, the adult had a good relationship with his wife, and it was considered perfect to have the eldest lady and the eldest young master, but now the adult hangs out with Liu Qian'er whenever he has spare time, and doesn't care about his wife's feelings at all.

Zhou lowered her eyes and sighed, "It's gone if it's gone, you go down and do some work, I want to stay alone for a while."

"Ma'am..." The servant girl had no choice but to leave in the end.

Only herself was left in the room, and Zhou was in a daze. In fact, it didn't matter if Liu Qian'er did or didn't do anything. Don't you trust her every time, so let her do it now.

"Didn't I tell you to go to work, why... who are you?" Zhou heard the footsteps and thought it was a servant girl who had gone and returned, but looked helplessly, but was stunned when she saw a strange little girl.

She looked outside the door, there seemed to be no one else, and she wondered why the child got here by mistake, "Little girl, did you go to the wrong door?"

Ye Qiu was still thinking about whether he should come this time, but seeing that the woman in front of him was not angry because he came uninvited, but was worried, so he made a decision.

Mrs. Zhou saw that the little girl was silent and just staring at her with those dark over-the-head eyes, and was about to call the servant girl over when she heard a tender voice, "Ma'am, I am Ye Qiu, the daughter of Ye Wentian, the clerk in the yamen. I have something to tell my wife."

Mrs. Zhou stared blankly, but saw the little girl smiled at her innocently, with the corners of her mouth curved and matched with that delicate little face, she was extremely cute, as if the wisdom and old Chengdu in those eyes she saw just now were illusory.

She asked, "What's the matter?"

Ye Qiu just smiled, "It's a big or small thing, something that may solve Madam's worries. Madam leaned in,..."

In the room, one big and one small were standing close to each other and talking in a low voice. Birds passed by outside the house, and occasional voices could be heard, and after a while of noise, it became quiet again, still as calm and calm as usual.

……

In the lobby of the county government office, the case was closed and the court was withdrawn. Liu Wenhong supported his recently fat waist, and felt a little short of breath after walking a few steps.

Seeing the lady's servant girl rushing past in front of him, he frowned immediately, and was about to ask, when he heard the voice of the master calling him, he looked back, "What's wrong?"

Master Bo was holding a stack of documents, followed by Ye Wentian who was dawdling.

He didn't rush to speak, but looked back to pretend to be embarrassing. Liu Wenhong looked along, saw Ye Wentian frowned, and said immediately, "Ye Wentian, go and sort out the files, I have something to say to Master Bo."

Ye Wentian was still thinking about being chased away, so he didn't dare to ask more questions, so he nodded and left.

Just thinking about something in my heart, I was in a hurry to walk, and I staggered under my body. Although I didn't fall, the posture was relatively ugly.

Liu Wenhong, who happened to see this scene, wrinkled and disliked it even more. He was sloppy, stupid and dull. Why did he choose such a document at the beginning? It is necessary to keep it.

After Ye Wentian left, the boss hesitated and said, "There is something that the book boy told Beizhi yesterday, because the matter is so important, I don't know whether I should say it or not."

Liu Wenhong was already standing a little tired. Hearing this, he said impatiently, "Speak up if you have something to say. No matter how important the matter is, I, Liu Wenhong, are in charge of Tengchun County. There is nothing I can't handle."

The master waited for this sentence, hesitated for a while before saying, "The thing is like this. Last night when I was talking with the adults in the study room, I saw the clerk Ye Wentian sneaking into the backyard. I thought it was strange and followed him. Going up, I saw Ye Wentian went...to the wife's room, and he came out after waiting for a cup of tea. He took something in his hand. The bookboy said he saw him buried under the osmanthus tree in the yard, and he thought I was a little suspicious so I told the humble officer, but yesterday the adults had an early rest, and the humble position is not easy to disturb, so I didn't say anything, I just saw my wife and maid and remembered..."

Obviously knowing the meaning of what he said, Zhu Bo finished speaking in one breath, with a precise expression on his face.

After he finished speaking, he looked up, and Liu Wenhong's face had already turned ashen. He didn't know what Lenovo said, but his face was full of anger, and finally said in a deep voice, "What is that thing?"

"I thought it might be a private document, so it's not easy to read, so I didn't let the book boy touch it."

"What's private? This is the county government office. I need my permission to release anything. Take me to have a look."

The two immediately went to the backyard to find the sweet-scented osmanthus tree. Liu Wenhong went to see it himself, and he saw a trace of turning over a ground. He opened it and found something inside. After seeing the pearl hairpin and paper, he immediately Furious, "Bitch."

Master Bo didn't see it too clearly, but he also saw a hairpin, covered his eyes with pride, and pretended to be puzzled, "Why do you say that, my lord?"

Liu Wenhong was so angry that there was no way to tell him. He happened to see Zhou's little maid going back and forth and called him over, "What are you looking for here?"

The servant girl said truthfully, "Yesterday Madam went out to walk around in the yard, and when she went back, she found that the pearl hairpin was missing, so the servant girl came to look for it."
