Chapter 76: In the Souwu Prince's Mansion, all the girls and servants gathered in the courtyard. One by one, they were all surprised. They didn't know what happened and kept asking each other.

"What happened? Why did the princess call us here?" An old servant, about forty years old, started talking to another woman beside her.

"I don't know either? I was cleaning the yard. I dropped the broom and came here." The woman answered.

"Oh, let's take a look at the situation." The servant stopped talking, and everyone stood together in twos and threes, waiting for the masters to ask questions.

Recently, Shang Qing'er has done several things in the mansion, which has obviously frightened the servants. In their eyes, Shang Qing'er is a powerful character, and he cannot be disobedient easily. Otherwise, Shang Qing'er is a powerful character.

If so, at least he will be expelled from the house, but at worst, his life may not be saved.

While the servants were talking a lot, Shang Qing'er, accompanied by Hongzhuang, arrived belatedly. Several servants with lively eyes prepared a chair for Shang Qing'er to sit there.

.

After Shang Qing'er came over, she didn't say a word. Even if she didn't speak, the majesty on her face made people feel scared.

"Just be quiet, be quiet." Baozhen raised her voice and began to speak.

Everyone fell silent and wanted to hear what important matter Shang Qing'er wanted to tell them.

"You guys stand still, stop talking in low voices." Baozhen pointed at a few old women and started talking. Everyone stood still, waiting for Baozhen to speak.

"Yesterday, after the princess sent the prince out of the house, when she came back, she found that her pair of gemstone earrings were missing. She searched for them all day and night, but still couldn't find them. If any of you took them, please stand up now and tell the truth.

, otherwise, when we find out, you will find something beautiful." Baozhen's words were quite serious, and it is precisely because of this serious tone that it increases the credibility of her words.

"I will give you half a stick of incense to think about. Who took it? Hand it over. The princess will pretend that nothing happened. If you don't hand it over, when it is found out who took it, you will have to ask for it when you see the official.

You guys have to think about eating a dozen or twenty sticks..." Baozhen said again.

Everyone looked at each other in shock. When they heard this, it was by no means a small matter. The master's things were lost, so naturally they were taken down and operated on first. If anyone hit the muzzle of the gun, they would be dead or injured.

"Princess, we have been in the kitchen all the time and have never been to the Princess's Jun'an Courtyard. We have no chance to make a move." Several women stood up. According to their age, they could only do some work in the kitchen.

They didn't even get a chance to take a look at the master's main courtyard while doing chores.

"Princess, we have been feeding pigs, and we are all smelly. We are afraid that it will offend the princess, and we have never been to the princess's yard." An honest man also started talking.

"Princess, I don't have a chance. I have been taking care of things outside the house. I have just returned to the house. How is it possible?" Another young man also started talking.

"Princess, I just entered the mansion yesterday, and it was the princess who brought me in personally, so there is no chance." Liu Rushi understood most of it when she saw this, and she also found a way for herself.

"Baozhen, ask again..." Shang Qing'er's look made Baozhen understand.

"What were you doing yesterday?" Baozhen asked an uncle who was cleaning. She knew it wasn't him, but she still had to ask.

"I was cleaning yesterday. When Butler Mo came back, I went to sit with him and smoked two packs of cigarettes. We didn't do anything. Princess, I'm already old, so I definitely can't do this.

Come out." The old man answered quite sincerely.

"What about you? What did you do yesterday?" Baozhen asked another girl.

"Replying to Sister Baozhen, yesterday, Butler Mo sent me out of the house to purchase plums for the prince's house. I didn't have a chance." This little girl said it with absolute ease.

But at this moment, Baozhen walked up to Bi'er, and when they made eye contact, Bi'er lowered her head in panic, as if she had done something wrong.

"Bier, what did you do yesterday?" Baozhen lowered her voice intentionally and asked about Bi'er.

But at this moment, Bi'er's face was already covered with sweat. She had never seen such a formation.

"Yesterday, yesterday. Yesterday, Grandma Sun sent me to the street and bought her a pair of embroidered shoes." Bi'er answered hesitantly.

"Oh, that's it. Princess, everyone had their own affairs yesterday. No one said that they stole your earrings." Baozhen walked to Shang Qing'er and reported.

"In that case, let's search every room. This earring is priceless. If you can't find it, I'm afraid I won't be able to sleep well. Baozhen, please lead someone to look for it. Remember, it's better to be wrong.

Kill a thousand, don't let one go." Shang Qing'er glanced at Bi'er, and Bi'er's face immediately lowered, not daring to look directly into Shang Qing'er's eyes.

"Yes. Let's go, you guys, go over there. You guys, go to the backyard, and you guys, go to the side courtyard. Search them carefully for me. Don't let even a single room go." Baozhen led.

Went down with a few young guys.

Shang Qing'er was sitting on a chair, drowsy, but her head was quite bright. She knew what she should do and what she shouldn't do.

Baozhen led a group of servants straight to the original destination, Hui Enyuan. As soon as they entered Hui Enyuan, Bi'er's eyes became nervous, as if she had really done something ulterior.

Things are the same.

The more she behaved like this, the more suspicion aroused in Baozhen. While the servants were searching, Baozhen approached Bi'er and asked.

"Bier, why do you look so bad? Did you not get enough rest last night?" Baozhen clearly meant something in his words, but Bi'er couldn't understand the content.

"Sister Baozhen, I had a good rest yesterday." The more flustered Bi'er became, the happier Baozhen became. Does this prove that his guess yesterday was correct?

"Okay, you guys, please be careful. If you find it, the princess will reward you." Baozhen said again, and several servants started searching even harder.

At this time, Grandma Sun walked out of the inner room. When she saw this posture, she wanted to be angry. However, when she looked at Baozhen again, she suppressed her anger. Now she is no better than before.

In the past, in the Fifth Prince's Mansion, who would dare to make a mistake in front of her?

"Baozhen, what are you doing?" Grandma Sun asked. Although she no longer had any power, she still put herself on a high pedestal.

"Mother Sun, excuse me. Yesterday, the princess lost a pair of gemstone earrings. She was wondering if some servant had slipped through the cracks and taken them away. There was no target at the moment, so she searched them one by one.

It would be better for Grandma Sun to be considerate. Of course, Grandma Sun is the master and her house does not need to be searched." Baozhen issued an amnesty order.

"Nowadays, the hands of servants are getting longer and longer. You have to search carefully. If you find them, you will never let them go to scare the monkeys." When Grandma Sun heard that it had nothing to do with her, her heart dropped in her throat.

"Sister Baozhen, come here and see what this is." Several servants who were searching Bi'er's house called out to Baozhen.

Baozhen's face darkened, and she entered the house, followed by Grandma Sun and Bi'er. The sweat on Bi'er's face was flowing more and more.

"Sister Baozhen, look, this was found in a crack in her wall. It's well wrapped and looks very important. Please show me what it is." A servant searched him.

The things were handed into Baozhen's hands.

This is a silver paper bag. When you open it, you will see that there are dots of dots inside, as if it is some kind of metal object. If you look closely, you will see that it is not a metal object. Baozhen put the thing between his nose and smelled it. It is colorless and odorless.

"Could this be the mercury the princess was talking about?" Baozhen was shocked. She saw this thing from Shang Qing'er.

As soon as she heard the word mercury, Bi'er's body immediately fell down. There was more and more sweat on her face. It was obvious that she was getting more and more scared.

"What is this mercury?" Grandma Sun panicked as soon as she found something. After all, Bi'er was her servant.

"This mercury is a poison. If taken for a long time, it can kill people. Moreover, it is colorless and odorless. Even the doctor can't see it. Even if a silver needle is used, it is negligent." Baozhen took the mercury.

The greatness was told to Grandma Sun.

When Grandma Sun heard this, her heart was clenched, her face suddenly changed, and she kicked Bi'er several times.

"You little hooves, what are you doing with these harmful things? Do you want to harm me? Fortunately, I usually treat you well..." Grandma Sun was furious.

"I...I..." Bi'er stammered for a moment. She didn't expect that such a strange combination of circumstances would reveal what she had done so perfectly.

"Little hooves, you are a crawling thing, I have to beat you to death today." Grandma Sun said, taking a broom from behind the door and hitting Bi'er hard on her body.

"Come here, tie up Bi'er and pull her in front of the princess to see what she does." Baozhen gave the order, and several young men quickly took action, pulled up Bi'er's body, and walked out the door.

Grandma Sun's broom was raised in the air, but there was no chance of it falling down. Her face became colder and colder, and her heart became more and more painful. She was afraid that something would happen, but something happened after all.

"Now it's fun, now it's really fun..." Grandma Sun murmured to herself. She had seen Shang Qing'er's methods. Bi'er's matter would definitely involve her. How should she stay safe on her own?
