Chapter 20 Stealing Things

Qin Ci walked towards her, "Hongsang, what happened?"

Hong Sang is the maid who follows her all the time, she is timid and loves to cry, and now she has cried like a little cat.

Hong Sang wiped her tears and cried, "Woooooh, Cai, Nanny Cai was captured by Concubine Wan."

The little girl frowned and asked, "Why did the mother concubine arrest her?"

"The servant girl went to clean the warehouse with Cai Mama this morning. Concubine Wan suddenly appeared, saying that Cai Mama had dirty hands and feet and stole things from the warehouse. The servant could not stop her, so Cai Mama was arrested."

The maid wept and told the whole story, Qin Ci fell silent.

Madam Cai was brought here as a dowry by her mother, and she believed in her character. After her mother left for so many years, she has been diligent and diligent.If Nanny Cai stole the dowry from the treasury, she believed it was a thief calling for a thief.

Her tone was sweet and soft, comforting Hongsang, "Don't cry, I'll go to Mother Concubine to ask for clarification."

Mother's dowry, as well as Nanny Cai, she will not be taken away and bullied for nothing.

Red mulberry is like a chicken pecking rice, "Okay..."

After Hongsang left, Qin Ci turned and ran towards another bedroom.

"Mother Concubine, I'm here to see you." When she came to the entrance of the hall, the little girl didn't even give an announcement, and ran directly into the bedroom.

In the hall, Concubine Wan was wearing jewelry in front of the bronze mirror, all kinds of stinking, she panicked when she heard Qin Ci's voice, before she could hide the jewelry, Qin Ci had already entered.

"...Why are you here?" She asked guiltily.

The little girl threw herself into her arms, wailing and getting straight to the point, "Concubine Mother, I heard from the maid that you captured Nanny Cai, did she do anything wrong?"

Concubine Wan froze, and explained with embarrassment, "Concubine Mu heard that her hands and feet were not clean, and she was afraid that she would miss the dowry left by your mother, so she was arrested."

Qin Ci was lying in her arms, without any tears in his eyes, and was staring at the box on the dressing table.

Just as she thought, the boxes belonged to the storeroom. Since the mother was a princess, each box had the logo of the royal family of the Southern Border Kingdom.

Sure enough, it was Concubine Wan who stole it!

She got out of Concubine Wan's arms, and said with tears in her eyes, "Mother Cai has always been loyal, and Ci'er believes that she will not steal the dowry in the treasury. Why don't mother and concubine bring Mother Cai here for questioning, otherwise Mother Cai is so loyal? At an older age, he has been given a reputation of being a thief for no reason, so he will not be guaranteed at the end of the festival!"

Concubine Wan was silent for a while, guessing that the dead old woman couldn't produce evidence to prove her innocence, so she ordered someone to bring Nanny Cai here.

Soon, an old man with snowy temples and frosty hair was brought up, and when she saw Qin Ci, her expression immediately became agitated.

"Little princess, this old servant swears to the heavens that he never stole your mother's dowry! If there are lies, there will be thunder and a bang."

Concubine Wan crossed her chest and sneered, "Oh, there is no basis for empty talk. This gold bracelet was found in your room. How can you have such an expensive table!" Put it on the table.

Cai Momo looked at the table, clutched her sore chest, and roared angrily, "This is a reward from Concubine Yan to this old servant."

She really didn't expect that after so many years of hard work, she was splashed with dirty water in the end.

"You say yes? If there is no evidence, then it was stolen from the warehouse!" Concubine Wan bit her to death.

Qin Ci walked up to her and reminded her in a soft voice, "Don't get excited, Madam Cai, I remember you still kept the gift list of the dowry back then, as long as you compare it with the items in the storeroom, it will be fine. Wash away the grievances."

She remembered that Nanny Cai had the habit of counting the warehouse every time she cleaned, so as long as she took out the gift slip, she could prove Nanny Cai's innocence.

"Yes, yes!" Nanny Cai suddenly realized, her face turned red with excitement, she said with trembling hands, "The old slave still keeps the gift list, Madam Wan, if you don't believe me, please go to the warehouse with the old slave to check! The old slave is sitting right upright, I'm not afraid of you checking!"

It's really old and the memory is not good. How could she forget that she still has the dowry gift list?

Concubine Wan's face turned pale, she never expected that after so many years, this damn old woman still keeps the gift list!

She picked up the tea on the table and drank it down, with a very bad expression on her face, "Since you are so frank, it may be that this Palace has wronged you, come and untie her."

She made this up, and now that she has the gift list in hand, she's going to compare it!

Qin Ci smiled lightly, and her eyes fell on the two large boxes of gold and silver jewelry, "Since Nanny Cai is innocent, should the concubine return the jewelry to Ci'er?"

Concubine Wan was naturally reluctant to spit out the meat that reached her mouth.

She gently took the little girl's hand, squeezed out two cat tears, and felt sorry for herself, "Ci'er, you know, the mother concubine is thirty now, and she hasn't been favored, and she doesn't even have a few decent jewelry on her head. Concubine Mother has raised you for so many years, shouldn't you repay Concubine Mother? Don't worry, Concubine Mother will return these jewelry to you intact when you grow up."

She has raised Qin Ci for so many years, and only took away a little stuff from the warehouse, isn't that right!

Qin Ci withdrew her hand and said with a chuckle, "Ci'er will definitely remember the kindness of concubine mother's upbringing. Since concubine mother likes it, concubine mother will wear it first, and return it to Ci'er later."

She very graciously agreed.

Concubine Wan was instantly dazzled by joy.

Looking at her, Qin Ci was so happy and silly, she lowered her eyes, the dark tide was surging in her eyes, and she was plotting a net that could catch big fish.

After proving Nanny Cai's innocence, Qin Ci didn't intend to stay, and got up to salute, "Mother and Concubine, I have something else to do, so I'll go first."

Concubine Wan wanted her to leave quickly, so she quickly smiled, "Well, be careful."

After Qin Ci left, a maid came in from outside the hall. The maid was about to speak, when Concubine Wan slapped her over, her eyes were about to split open, "Bad maid!"

The maid staggered and fell to the ground.

Her body was in pain from the fall, and a murderous intent flashed in her eyes, but thinking of her mission, she kowtowed and begged for mercy, "Ma'am, please forgive me, please, please forgive me."

Concubine Wan's face was ruthless, and she cursed, "Forgive me? Your life is almost lost by you! It's all your coquettish idea! I almost ruined my face!"

The maid was so frightened that her shoulders trembled, "This servant deserves to die, this servant deserves to die. This servant has a way to make the empress the most beautiful person at the Empress Dowager's birthday banquet."

Concubine Wan's eyes flickered, and she couldn't wait to ask, "What method?"

The concubines at the Empress Dowager's birthday banquet in a few days' time must all be dressed like fairies, how can she stand out and make the emperor's eyes fixed on her.

Seeing that she was really hooked, the maid twitched her mouth and said, "Your Majesty, do you still remember the dress that Concubine Yan wore when she entered the palace?"

……

Back in the bedroom, Qin Ci threw herself on the couch and began to think hard.

If she told her father, her father would definitely laugh at her for not being able to protect her mother's things from being stolen.

And this is mother's property, she wants to take it back with her own hands.

She lay on the couch and thought for a long time but couldn't find a suitable solution. On the contrary, her mind became more and more heavy, and she fell asleep after a while.

When I woke up, it was already the second day.

Thinking that yesterday she promised her father to make sweet-scented osmanthus soup for her, she didn't dare to be lazy, no, she took Furong to the Royal Garden after dinner.

She sat on the swing and swayed back and forth, reminding Furong from time to time, "Sister Furong, you must work hard. Whether the sweet-scented osmanthus soup can be made depends on you!"

Furong: "..."

In the morning, the little princess also said that she would take her to experience the joy of life. Unexpectedly, happiness is picking osmanthus.

The little princess has a mouth, you deceitful ghost!

"Meow~" A soft meow came from one side, Qin Ci turned her head curiously and saw a big yellow and orange cat walking towards her.

As the distance got closer, the yellow-orange cat suddenly jumped up and rushed towards Qin Ci.

Qin Ci was taken aback.

She lowered her head abruptly, but the orange cat didn't jump at her, and fell to the ground abruptly, unable to get up for a long time.

Qin Ci saw that the cat looked familiar, so she jumped off the swing and came in front of the cat.

"Rhubarb? Rhubarb, where are you?" The eldest princess Qin Jinxiu's voice came from a distance.

She was looking through the grass, and the one she was looking for was the fat cat in front of her.

"Meow~" The cat seemed to hear the owner's voice, and called out weakly.

When Qin Jinxiu heard the sound, she immediately rushed over shaking her fat body. When she saw the cat on the ground that was only vomiting, but was too weak to move after a while, she turned her head and pushed Qin Ci to the ground, roaring, "Qin Ci !What did you do to my cat! She won't move at all!"

"Aunt Huang, I've been wronged. I didn't do anything." The little girl spread her hands innocently.

She didn't even touch it.

Qin Jinxiu naturally knew that Qin Ci didn't make Da Huang so abnormal, but she never liked people who were prettier than her.

She picked up Rhubarb and said fiercely, "Get out of here, don't let me see you again."

"Don't Aunt Huang want to know why Rhubarb vomits and loses strength?"
