Banxia was afraid that she had remembered it wrong, so she looked around for a few places where incense might be placed, but couldn't find it. She hurried out, grabbed a maid and said, "While the eldest young lady was visiting Princess Kang, someone came in."
House?"
Just as the maid was about to speak, Mother Xu came over and said, "But what was lost?"
Banxia replied, "The incense delivered in the morning is missing."
What did you think was going on? Mother Xu said, "The incense was sent to the wrong person this morning. It was prepared for the old lady. It was sent to the eldest mistress by mistake, and the embroidery room sent someone to take it away."
The soundproofing effect of the house was not good, and the windows were open. Xu's mother spoke loudly, and Su Tang could hear her clearly.
She thought of what Xie Boting said to Xie Boting after reading the incense in the morning, and she felt slapped in the face. Fortunately, Xie Boting was not here, otherwise she would have been so embarrassed if he glanced at her. Even the incense for the old lady could have been sent to her by mistake.
The servants of the Jingnan Prince's Mansion must have been too sloppy in doing things.
Thinking like this, Mother Xu walked in and asked about two things in the yard. Su Tang said, "Mother Xu is a person that the princess can trust. Jingmoxuan will be left to you to take care of it. I can rest assured that you don't need to ask about these little things."
I."
Mother Xu has never seen someone so careless about the housekeeper's power. He doesn't care about anything and loses everything. Aren't you ready to find opportunities to establish your authority?
Thinking of Princess Nankang coming to apologize to Su Tang yesterday, Mother Xu took back her words. The eldest mistress had already established her authority, so she had to use the authority of the Princess of Jingnan Palace. The effect could not be better than this.
.
Mother Xu didn't leave. Su Tang looked at her and saw that she was hesitant to speak, and said, "Mother Xu, do you still have something to tell me?"
Mother Xu hesitated and said, "There is something I don't know whether I should tell the eldest mistress."
Su Tang frowned, "Mother Xu just said it."
Xu's mother then said, "The eldest mistress does not allow the maids to enter the house to serve them casually. You and Banxia are not here today. The eldest young master went to the garden again. When the embroidery room came to get incense, there was no one in the house and it was in a hurry. You
Your maid Chuntao came in to get the incense. When I entered the room, she was looking through your dressing table..."
The incense box was not small and would never be placed on the dressing table. When Chuntao saw her, she looked flustered and glanced wildly. It was obvious at a glance that she was feeling guilty, as if she had been caught as a thief.
of.
Xu's mother knew that Su Tang was the only maidservant she brought to Jingnan Palace from Qingzhou. The other dowry maids were all prepared by Prince Xin's Palace. The matching maids Mrs. Yun San chose for her daughter may not be very loyal to Su Tang.
Xu's mother didn't want to get involved in Su Tang's dowry, but she knew she had to tell the truth. If something happened, she couldn't bear it. Even if she lost face, she had to tell the truth.
Su Tang frowned and looked towards the dressing table. Xu's mother said, "There's something else to do in the kitchen, so I'll go and get busy first."
After Xu's mother left, Banxia also looked at the dressing table and asked curiously, "What is Chuntao doing so sneakily? Is he trying to help Miss Yun Er steal the girl's jewelry?"
Acting in a sneaky way is necessary.
But stealing jewelry...
Su Tang didn't think so.
Although her jewelry was all prepared by Prince Xin for Miss Yun Er, and some of it was Miss Yun Er's favourite, but since they could all be given to her, it meant that they were dispensable to Miss Yun Er, and Chuntao could only steal them.
One or two pieces are very easy to find.
Furthermore, because Xie Boting didn't like her wearing Miss Yun Er's jewelry, the jewelry in the dressing box was all hers. If she wanted to steal it, it wouldn't be on the dressing table, but in the warehouse.
And today, she went to Prince Kang's Mansion to visit Princess Qingyang. It was Xie Wei who led the way. Princess Nankang knew that she would not agree to Xie Rou's visit, but she still said that, as if she intended to send her to Prince Kang's Mansion to embroider the room.
They sent the wrong incense and came to pick it up when they and Xie Boting were not around. They cooperated so well that they gave Chuntao the opportunity to enter her house and rummage around.
Is this all just a coincidence?
Su Tang didn't believe it.
But Su Tang felt that there was really no need to steal jewelry. As long as he believed that the old princess said there were a few pieces that Yun Er was very fond of. He had so hurriedly asked her to enter the Jingnan Palace on his behalf and gave her the same compensation. How could she not give the old princess the same compensation?
For the sake of the princess, will you return those jewelry to Miss Yun Er?
It is inevitable that someone will find out when someone steals something. Chuntao was accidentally hit by Xu's mother, so there must be some other reason why Chuntao went through the dressing box.
Su Tang opened the dressing box one by one, and the jewelry was placed all over the table. Finally, he found two thousand taels of silver notes in the secret compartment of the dressing box. This chapter has been completed!
