"Do you think this child is trustworthy?"

The wind made my cheeks turn cold, and when I opened my mouth, steam rushed out and congealed into a white mist in the middle of the air.

Lan Ling's face was unsightly. She nodded her head. "I asked a few maidservants last night and they all said something like that."

I smiled coldly to myself. "This is really..." To be merciful to the enemy is to be cruel to oneself! On account of the fact that her Feng family was loyal to the Lord, I let her live, and even gave her freedom.

Lan was silent.

"Go and tell Mother Du that no matter what, she should get a pill. It's the kind of medicine that makes people feel like they have malaria. It can only take 3 to 5 days …"

Lan Ling's face was filled with fear as she stared at me with wide eyes. She urgently said, "Miss, you can't kill this mother Feng!"

I raised my eyebrows.

Lan Li knew in her heart that if she didn't say something, I definitely wouldn't let Miss Feng off, so she started from the whole story, "If you kill mother Feng, you will inevitably … "How about …"

I shook my head.

Lan Lingyun was wrong.

There were already a lot of rumors outside, but the one who died was a servant who had committed a crime. No one would pursue the matter further for her sake.

I left her life, not for the outside, but for the home.

The day that the Feng family lived was a day of witness. Those who had conspired with their mother in the past were more cautious.

Only with scruples can the family be at peace.

It was an eventful time, and if their family wanted to pass this year peacefully, they had to work together to ensure that their family would not fall into chaos.

I was so angry that I forgot the most important thing.

"Send a messenger, tell her what I want, and put her in the forbidden room in my mother's courtyard. "Be careful, don't let her die."

When Lan Lingyun saw that I had left the Feng Clan's life, she secretly relaxed and responded with a smile. Then she continued:

"And there's also Mama Song and the Wu Dengke family. Although they were involved, it might not have been intentional, should we …"

When I saw Lan Lingyun and I standing at the entrance and talking, she hurriedly stepped forward with a smile and bowed to me, saying: "It's a cold day, why are you standing outside! Aren't you afraid of the cold wind blowing on your body? We've been waiting for you to come back and talk! "

Lan Lingyun smiled as she bent her knees and greeted, "Hello, Mama Li!"

That old woman giggled in response and reached out her hand to help me in.

I patted Lan Lan's shoulder. "Go and finish what you're doing. We'll talk about it later on account of face."

Lan Lingyun bent her knees and said: "Then this servant will go first!"

Seeing her walk towards the back of the courtyard, I knew that she understood what I meant. I relaxed and entered the building together with Mother Li.

Wu Dengke's family stood at the front of the line as usual, but his usual arrogant expression was long gone.

When everyone had replied, she remained by herself. Not long after, she was left standing alone in the hall.

I took a sip from my teacup.

The cup was soaked in Old Jun's brow.

I couldn't help but frown.

He didn't pick it up again.

How come Lan Ling didn't come today? Even the tea was served wrongly.

What an idiot!

Even if he didn't know, he should have known better after seeing that it was not red dates or medlar, but red sugar or silver ears. Why did he seem like a wooden head? He only knew that it was tea.

I felt an indescribable anxiety in my heart.

I was busy managing the household all day, but I didn't expect that the first one to fall into chaos was my own courtyard.

He really spoke without thinking!

Seeing me frown, the Wuden family member became even more terrified. He knelt on the ground and wailed, "Miss, this servant's daughter was wrongly accused!"

I smiled and pointed at Jin Wu. "Sister Wu, what are you doing? Quickly, sit over there!"

Lan Qing had always been strict with her work, and until now, the Wu Dengke family didn't even know why Lan Lingyun had locked Little Liu up.

Perhaps she had also heard of some rumors, but since she didn't have any evidence, she intentionally came to trick me.

The Wu Dengke family member trembled as he stood up from the ground, not daring to not sit, not daring to sit on the ground anymore. Wu Dengke family member trembled as he stood up from the ground, not daring to not sit, not daring to sit on the ground as well.

I quite agree with her.

Seeing her daughter's arrogant, impetuous manner, and her chaotic speech, if she really had any bad intentions, I would have a whole new level of respect for her. I praise her for her deep cultivation, which ordinary people cannot compare to!

I smiled again. "Sister Wu, since you're an understanding person, you should just wait at home. Why are you begging in front of me?"

The Wuddenkh one choked on my words.

"Yes …" It's because this servant's daughter has no manners in front of the young mistress, so this servant … "

The Wudanke family stammered.

"Oh!"

I nodded in deep agreement. "You're right, and wrong as well. Besides, Lil had lost her hairpin in my house, which made it sound like a den of thieves. I have to find that hairpin, how else can I show my face? "Sister Wu, don't you think that makes sense?"

I smiled. "If I can't find that hairpin, I'll have to ask her in detail what kind of hairpin it is. I'll have her send someone to the East Street to get a new hairpin back to her. Only then will she not call me 'Miss' in vain!"

Wu Dengke's vision went black.

Asking for a hairpin is a fake, asking for the origin of the hairpin is the real thing.

She also knew in her heart what her daughter's character was, and what words were about to come out of her daughter's mouth and enter my ears. She couldn't help but fall to her knees and kneel before me.

I smiled and looked at her. It was still the same words I had spoken before. "Sister Wu, what are you doing? It's not a new year, and it's not a festival.

Wu Dengke's head was bowed.

"Miss, this is all your servant's fault!" Wu Dengke's family cried, "Your servant was greedy, which is why I caused all of this!"

I raised my eyebrows.

These words were worth pondering over!

She meant that she didn't accidentally reveal this to her daughter, but she did it on purpose?

I looked at the man on the ground and fell silent for a moment.

I thought the two of them were being used, but I didn't expect that it was the Wuddenkos who used their daughter.

I secretly stroked my sleeve as I sneered, "That's true. Sister Wu, you've done an old job. How could you not see through these little tricks?" "For the sake of these needlepoint items, even my own daughter can be sold. Today, I have really gained experience!"

The Wu Dengke family member kowtowed and said, "It's all because of your servant's carelessness that I thought that this was just a small matter. Who can find out who said the first one? I didn't expect Little Liu to be so … In short, all of this is my fault! "

He didn't expect his daughter to be stupid enough to jump out and cause trouble for him, did she?

I caressed the teacup and asked, "Sister Wu, your words don't make any sense. You are so exquisite that you are like a glass ball. Would you take such a risk for such a small amount of silver?"

The Wuddenkos stared at me with bulging eyes.

"It's Miss Song's mother in your yard, she brought me there. She said that Mother Feng was bored all day and wanted to find someone to talk to, while I, a servant, worked in the outer court as a servant, so I can't stay in the inner court. I can't make money without thinking, so I …"

You can make money just by talking?

If there really is such a good thing, then I don't need to spend so much effort on housekeeping, I can just sit there and talk all day!

I raised my eyelids to look at her and asked, "Then, do you guys talk to each other or...?"

"Yes …" "It's just me and the Feng family …"

I raised an eyebrow, but didn't comment.

It was unusual for him to throw the person in the middle away.

"This is not something this servant and the Feng family requested!" Seeing that I didn't say anything, Wu Dengke hurriedly explained, "It was Mother Song who said that Miss didn't want the people in the courtyard to get closer to the people in the courtyard. She didn't dare to disobey your order. "Also …"

I raised my eyebrows and asked, "And what?"

Wu Dengke's family wiped their sweat with their sleeves and said, "Furthermore, the three of us spoke a few times together. Mother Song, she … "She didn't understand the Feng family's meaning at all, yet she thinks the Feng family is boring and didn't come …"

I couldn't help laughing.

It turned out that it was because her mother's mind was not working well, so Mrs. Feng chose this Wu Dengke family member to work for her.

I mockingly smiled and said, "That was all thanks to you, Big Sister Wu. It was obvious at a bit!"

Wu Dengke's family kept wiping off their sweat, claiming that they did not dare to do so.

I waved my hand at her and said, "I still need to ask about this. If I do it right, I will release Little Liu. I don't want to see you two walk around the inner chamber in the future, nor do I want to hear about any inner chamber matters and get involved with your family members again. "

Wu Dengke is the chief steward of the outer court account. There is nothing important about him. I can't simply deal with her wife and children.

The Wu Dengke family kept kowtowing, but there was no more crying. It was obvious that I was worried.

"Also, I need to investigate more about this matter. If there is someone in the middle …"

"Don't worry, miss," he promised her. "I'll keep my mouth shut."

I tapped on the table and said smilingly, "Sister Wu, of course I can stop worrying. However, Little Liu is still a child, so it's hard to avoid … "Little Liu'er usually stays in the outer court. If you want to stay here with me for the next few days, naturally, you'll need to wear fewer clothes. You go home and pack up, then send her to the third courtyard so you can have a chat with her."

Wu Dengke's family hurried to answer.

When I returned to the house, Lan Li was already waiting for me inside. She chased the rest of the people out, and we both opened our mouths and went to the same place.

I said to her, "Tell me first!"

Lan Ling nodded her head and replied, "This servant asked quite a few young maidservants. They all said that Liu'er liked to talk about the short ones, but not as frequently as this month. And Little Liu'er, this servant went to ask her one more time. She insisted that her mother always said these things to her when she had nothing to do, and always asked me why she wasn't locked up by the people who stole her hairpins. "

I nodded my head as I secretly lamented in my heart. This mother of mine is really heartless. She is even able to scheme against my daughter's little hobby.

"Did you find the hairpin?"

Lan Lingyun nodded her head. She took out a scarlet gold peony hairpin and said: "The hairpin was indeed fragrant, it was stolen by another young maid. She said that it was because Little Liu always secretly called her mother a whore, so she was angry, but that's why she stole her hairpin."

I don't know whether to laugh or cry.

What was this all about?

I casually asked, "Who is her mother?"

"It's the Tsai family's widow," Lan replied in embarrassment.

Seeing my confused expression, Lan Lingyun hastily added: "It's Cui'er's mother!"

I just realized it!

He didn't expect that the little girl was Cui Er's sister!

When he thought about it carefully, the resemblance between the two people was evident.

"What are you going to do with her?"

Although there was a reason behind it, in the end, it was still a crime to steal, especially the valuables. Naturally, it was impossible for the matter to be cleared up without any punishment.

"This servant has already locked her up with her sister. We can deal with her after this matter is over."

I nodded.

Although Lan Li's punishment was not the best, it could be said to be appropriate.

I cut and cut out what the Wuddenkos had told me, picked out the important parts, and told Lan.

Lan Qing revealed a somewhat worried expression. She sat on the foot of the brick bed and asked me with her chin propped up, "Then tell me, do you still want to investigate this matter?"

"Investigate!" I picked up my teacup and took a sip. "Of course! If everything is fooled like this, how can it still be considered proper? "

"But …"

I know what Lan Li is worried about.

People like Mother Song who were confused were now sent out as my trusted aides. It could be seen how lacking people were in my courtyard. As he continued to dig deeper, not only was this matter of deceiving the family, but all sorts of insidious schemes were being dug up.

At that time, regardless of being a big bastard or a small shrimp, it would be difficult to preserve any meat that was stained with it.

No one will be available, and that will put my compound in an unprecedented challenge.

Just like a piece of clothing, although it was riddled with holes, it was still better than nothing.

I poured myself another cup of tea, sipped it, and thought about it. I couldn't think of any good countermeasures, so I asked, "Do you have any good ideas?"

I don't want to, Lan Li really had something to say.

"This servant feels that, even though mother Song took money from mother Feng, she may not know what mother Feng wants, and may even have been deceived. "If we capture Mother Song at this time, there will be no one in charge of the outer court's mourning hall, and no one in charge.

I nodded, feeling that this was exactly what I was thinking, listening intently to Lan Lan's words.

"I usually listen to your teachings and feel that if I want to accomplish something, the most important thing is to prioritize. The most important part will not be affected as long as the priority is clear. "
