Chapter Thirty-fifth: First Class Maid Jiangnan Suxiu
Wan Qing raised her eyebrows and sneered. She stood up and walked slowly to the person, bent down and took the handkerchief from her hand.
"I didn't steal it, I didn't take it. Could it be that you robbed it or something?" Wan Qing took the handkerchief and played with it, then took out his own handkerchief, "Your handkerchief is Jiangnan Su embroidery, and mine is
The handkerchief is also made from Jiangnan Su embroidery."
"Miss, you don't have such a veil, so why are you calling me a slave?"
Mrs. Zuo followed the sound and could not hide the smile on her lips. She was a first-class maid. Although her monthly salary was not low, she would have to go without food and drink for several years to afford this Jiangnan Su embroidery handkerchief.
Although Wan Qing did not have such a veil, it was difficult to conceal the strangeness.
Wan Qing stuffed the handkerchief back into her arms, waved her hand, "Send her out of the house directly. Ah, wait."
Following Wan Qing's turn and seemingly apologetic voice, the servants thought that the young lady had wrongly blamed her, but some shrewd ones already knew that something was wrong, so they just watched with their noses and noses, and did not get involved in anything.
"I remember she was born at home, right? Are her parents and her brother here?" Wan Qing looked down at her fingertips and played with her handkerchief. The lack of any expression on her face made everyone feel confused.
Made a calculation.
"What's the matter? Do you want me to find you out personally? Mo Xiang, Mei Hong, drive them all out. Don't say that our Zuofu is ungrateful. Your daughter is about to catch up with me as a young lady. Say
You feel like our Zuo Mansion is so good when you go out, right?" Following Wan Qing's slightly elevated tone, the few people who were still feeling lucky finally came out of the queue, and then were dragged out by the confidants around Mrs. Zuo.
Wan Qing walked slowly back to where he was before, drinking tea one after another, "Why, you still don't want to say it yourself? That's fine. Who wants to say something?"
"I want to say it!" Jiang Zizhen's voice came out from the crowd. Although Wan Qing was surprised, her original plan was not like this.
"Miss, I have seen these people come to your house. And I saw her carrying a jade pendant and giving it to a wild man that day!" Jiang Zizhen told the truth. She had indeed seen those people a few days ago.
People were stealing. She originally planned to tell the lady when she saw her, but she forgot about it for a while. But tonight's incident made her think about it. In addition, if she didn't mention it today, she might lose the chance. Naturally,
Can't miss it again.
Hearing the jade pendant, Mrs. Zuo's hand trembled slightly, but unexpectedly Wan Qing said coolly, there are still a hundred and eighty jade pendants, feel free to steal them.
Mrs. Zuo turned her face to drink tea, unable to hide the surprise in her eyes, and this expression clearly fell into Wan Qing's eyes.
"Come here, search their house." Wan Qing whispered a few more instructions to Mo Xiang. It wasn't until Zuo Jian came back that the matter came to an end.
"Madam, Wan'er, what happened?" There was a big commotion in the court today because of the arrest of the assassin. The emperor was impatient, so he specially invited himself and Sun Quan into the imperial study for a detailed discussion.
, and Sun Quan also delayed deliberately, saying only things that were not painful but could not be ignored, which made Zuo Jian feel pain, but he had to deal with it.
When I returned to the house, I saw that the faces of the servants were a little embarrassed, and they seemed to have lingering fears. After taking off their official uniforms, they immediately went to the bedroom to find Mrs. Zuo and Wan Qing who were talking.
"Husband, we will talk about this later, but there is something we need to do urgently." Zuo Jian was also concerned by Madam Zuo's serious tone, and she sat casually aside and waited for Madam Zuo to speak.
Wan Qing placed a piece of rice paper in front of Zuo Jian, and Mrs. Zuo happened to speak, "Let the jade craftsmen carve more jade pendants according to these lines and shapes. Also, I had many butterfly hairpins that day."
Make some and sell them in those stores. It seems that Minister Chen is going to take action, and there may be some other people secretly assisting."
After all these things had been solved, Wan Qing said before the two of them started talking, "Mother, Wan'er wants Jiang Zizhen to leave the house..."
"Oh? Wan'er doesn't like that girl very much?" Mrs. Zuo was stunned. Jiang Zizhen is also loyal to Wan Qing. Just because she is not afraid of their counterattack and testifies today, it can be seen that she is an upright and unscrupulous person.
, but she feels relieved to stay with Wan Qing like this.
Wan Qing shook her head firmly, "Zizhen offends people too easily, so it's not a problem to stay with him. Zhiyuan is the person next to the second prince. If Zizhen gets into trouble, it won't matter.
Okay. And there is nothing for her to do in this mansion for the time being, so Wan'er has no choice but to let her go out of the mansion to find a way out on her own."
Mrs. Zuo nodded, and Wan Qing considered it rationally, so he let her go.
However, Wan Qing did not say anything about releasing Zizhen from the house. In addition to managing the pharmacy, there was another reason. It was also what Jiang Zizhen had just secretly told Zhi Yuan to convey, that is, she would spread rumors outside to confuse the public.
And what did she mean by controlling public opinion? I hope it means the same thing as what I thought...
After dinner, Wan Qing called Mo Xiang and the others over again, asking them to serve some snacks and see what else they were missing, just in case something unexpected happened.
Therefore, Bago'er was sent to protect Wan Qing's safety.
Wan Qing asked Mo Xiang to leave a candle and then slept with her clothes on. Taking advantage of the quietness of the night, she could think more clearly about whether there were any loopholes in this matter.
Jiuying also found out about the incident in Zuofu and immediately reported it to the second prince.
The second prince's brows furrowed. He had been keeping an eye on Sun Quan's group's actions recently, and there seemed to be nothing wrong with him. Who else would want to cause trouble for the Zuo Mansion?
For a moment, he couldn't figure out an idea, so he had to let Jiuying stare. What he didn't expect was that Wan Qing would be in big trouble this time.
After a few calm days, the emperor excitedly selected the show, and the new one to be admitted to the harem was actually Sun Yexue.
No matter how strong Wan Qing's concentration was, she was so shocked that she spilled the water in the teacup. But while she was still in shock, Qi Weiming actually threw a bunch of sour scholars at the door, saying that they wanted to propose marriage.
Before he had time to fight Qi Weiming, Minister Chen and Aunt Lin stayed at the gate of Zuo Mansion to cause trouble. They said that Zuo Jian and Madam Zuo knew that Wan Qing was the daughter of the Chen family and did not send anyone to send her back. Instead, they kept her in their own house.
People around her obviously took a fancy to Wan Qing and wanted to use her for their own benefit.
One wave after another, Wan Qing was forced to sleep for several days. Finally, after the first two days of unbearable shouting, all the plans were almost completed, Wan Qing forced herself to sleep.
Good sleep.
This time, neither Zuo Jian nor Mrs. Zuo could help her.
And she had to face Qi Weiming and her biological father again. It was really an ironic meeting.
